[English]

Dearly beloved, for your entertainment,

it's my pleasure to introduce to you

Hal's latest arrival, equal opportunity

killer, out of Star. Hello, it's nice to

meet you. Can you tell me where I am? I

don't know how I got here, but I think

I'm starting to understand. I don't

belong among the angels, and maybe

that's just fine with me. The things I

did up there were high school, but now

I'm going for my degree. Hey, sorry, but

you just got in my way. I promise honey

I can feel your pain and maybe I enjoy

it just a little bit.

Haven't been the same since I expired.

Doesn't mean that

I have the power to all of you in

entertaining.

[Music]

Wait a minute. Do I know you? Weren't

you an old of mine? Departed from us far

too early. But now we're meeting a

second time. We used to have such fun

together. Maybe you have what I need.

But first, I have one tiny question.

Tell me, do you demons bleed?

[Music]

Hey, sorry, but you just got in my way.

I promise honey, I can feel your pain.

Maybe I enjoy it just a little bit. This

makes me

feel the same since I had start. Doesn't

mean that I plan to retire. Now I have

the power to be all of you in

entertaining.

[Music]

Hey, sorry. You just got in my way.

doesn't mean that

I'm

never sorry but you just got in my way.

I promise honey I can feel your pain and

maybe I enjoy it just a little bit. Does

that make me insane?

[Music]

  ➔ Prepositional phrase expressing location / Subject complement

  ➔ Using "among" to denote a group, and "fine with me" as a complement describing the speaker's state.

• The things I did up there were high school, but now I'm going for my degree.

  ➔ Relative clause (omitted 'that') / Present Continuous
