Code This Makes NO sense. I'm making a game and getting an error, need help.

Okay so I'm making a simple text based game that branches into different scenarios. By branching I mean branching off into whole different files with that part of the game in it. I got tired of working on scenario 1 so I'm working on scenario 2. As I get started and try to test it, I get an error that makes absolutely no sense. This code should work. Other than echo'ing text to progress the story line, all I had to do was copy and paste some of the exact same code into this scenario. I will post the terminal error I'm getting first and then post the code. Please tell me if you see an error.
ERRORS:
/bin/ap_test2: line 62: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/bin/ap_test2: line 62: `fi'

Note that I have marked line 62 in the code for the purpose of assistance. the numbers 62 are not really in the code

Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo "

Great, you get to figure out how to upgrade the main version of the software on the older device. Once you're done with that, we will use a software dump to figure out the differences in old and new. We will incorporate the new features on the old and prove whether Apple is being honest to the public about being able to upgrade their software!

echo "Cyna walks up to you and hands you a flash drive. 'On this is everything that we have developed here in OTA to rip apart Apple software, including an emulator which will run as soon as you boot up the device on which you are working. The terminal has a debugging bridge which pulls and records every single process that runs as soon as you press the power button on the device. Now head over to your brand new office, make yourself at home and get started with that mainver upgrade.

echo "You walk into the office, and it is amazing. There are plants surrounding the office, and a ceiling that simulates the current conditions of the sky outside the building. The whole right side of the office is laden with a huge desk with multiple monitors, PC's, cables, external HDD's, and various Raspberry Pi looking devices that are probably used to simulate the current devices on which OTA is working. Perpendicular to the right wall is a table on the left wall with fresh cupcakes, donutes, eclairs, froyos, gingerbread androids, honeycombs, a bowl of jelly beans, a key lime pie, and a mini-freezer with android-shaped ice cream sandwiches. There is a refrigerator with fresh made lemonade, orangeade, cans of Mountain Dew, and Peach Bellini Tea."
