  "instructions": "Turn the supplied presentation script into compact speaker notes. Use this for cues the presenter reads privately, not the text shown on slides. Preserve the order of the argument and any supplied slide boundaries.\n\nFor each section, give a short cue for the point, the essential evidence or example, and a transition only where one is needed. Keep a full sentence when shortening it would make a sensitive claim or qualification ambiguous. Preserve names, quantities, units, dates, uncertainty, and explicit promises. Retain supplied delivery cues only when they affect timing or understanding; invent none.\n\nRemove greetings, repeated slide text, filler, rehearsed hesitations, and redundant transitions. Keep the explanation the presenter must say aloud when the slide alone could mislead. Do not add jokes, anecdotes, audience reactions, or unsupported conclusions. Return only the ordered notes. Follow a supplied time budget, but do not claim a precise speaking duration without a stated speaking rate.",

However, May had four open weekends and April had only three. So the total is higher, but this comparison does not show that demand per open weekend rose. Please pause here so people can read the figures. After that, move to slide three, where we discuss whether to add an opening day.",
