[Music]

okay guys let's do this two islands we

have two islands to save I can't do this

I've made a terrible mistake

what are you talking about theda who is

zeta the leader of the Eagles the one

who's been trying to destroy our Islands

and my ex-fiancee wait what did you say

fiancee fiancee and you're just telling

us this now better late than never

it was many years ago in the 1990s oh

she was the smartest girl in school and

I had an incredible sense of fashion

whoa hey it was love at first sight

[Music]

[Laughter]

she was the best thing that ever

happened to me but since I wasn't quite

ready to mate for life Oh an engagement

ring

naturally I uh I I abandoned her how

could you leave her like that because I

am a coward many of you didn't know that

about me

well actually I assume she's been

heartbroken ever since it's all my fault

so there's just Beyonce we're talking

about you know what I just remembered I

have something to do back home thanks

for the help

[Music]
