How this follows might not be clear

>>This creates two forces: Scenarios need to be about people, and we
need to create scenes that have dramatic or emotional impact. This leads us to a preparation model that focuses on creating a `cast of characters' and creating a dramatic conflict for those characters.<<

but it is because making a situation dramatic requires us to care, and we care about people. Die Hard works because we care about John, and we care because he has relationships i.e. his wife, with whom he is seperated, is a hostage.

Hope that is clearer
