[English]

YOU BETTER SHOW SOME RESPECT,

CHECK YOUR BEHAVIOR.

NO ONE SPEAKS TO ZESTIAL THAT WAY.

DID YOU EXPECT US

TO SIT BACK AND TAKE YOUR

INSOLENT, BRAZEN DISPLAY?

YOU'VE GOT IT TWISTED.

I'M NOT THE ONE WHO NEEDS A NEW ATTITUDE.

MAYBE YOU MISSED IT,

BUT I'M THAT #BITCH

AND I WILL DO NOTHIN' LESS THAN WHAT I PLEASE. (WOO)

I'M THE BACKBONE OF THE VEES.

MAD THAT I ACTED RESPECTLESS?

WELL, IT'S 'CAUSE NO ONE COULD RESPECT THIS.

SORRY GROUP ATTENDING,

SINCE WHEN ARE OVERLORDS TOO SCARED TO FIGHT?

YOU'RE LONG PAST TRENDING.

SORRY, BAE, BUT I AIN'T SWIPIN' RIGHT.

YOU LOST YOUR RELEVANCE.

WE CAN'T ACT WITHOUT MORE INTELLIGENCE.

UGH, NO WONDER I'M SO RESPECTLESS.

I COULD EAT YOU LOT FOR BREAKFAST.

YOU AND THE VEES ARE INANE AND UNINFORMED.

SMUG WANNABEES WHO DON'T HEED WHEN YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

OOPS!

DID I STRIKE A NERVE?

'CAUSE WHEN I BROUGHT OUT THE ANGEL'S HEAD,

COULDN'T HELP BUT OBSERVE

THAT YOUR WRINKLED FACE WAS TURNIN' RED.

AND WHY ARE YOU AVOIDIN' WAR?

THAT'S WHAT THE GUNS YOU SELL ARE FOR.

THANKS TO MY BEING RESPECTLESS.

ONE THING I'M STARTIN' TO SUSPECT IS...

YOU KNOW WHY THIS ANGEL'S HEADLESS.

DO YOU HAVE A DISCLOSURE?

THIS MEETING'S OVER!
