[English]

Hey,

you both got your style, but brother,

you're never fully dressed without a

smile.

It feels like

Dearly beloved, for your entertainment,

it's my pleasure to introduce to you

hell's latest arrival, equal opportunity

killer, Alistister.

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 plan to retire. And

now I have the power to be all of you in

entertaining.

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

you an old pal of mine? Departed from us

far too early. But now we're meeting a

second time. We used to have such fun

together. And maybe you have what I

need. But first, I have one tiny

question. Tell me, do you demons bleed?

>> 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.

Does that make sane? Haven't been the

same since I expired. Doesn't mean that

I plan to retire. And now I have the

power to breathe all of you in

entertaining.

Heat. Heat. N.

Right.

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?
