person, Kavita Harian. And I hate you in your ass face, Angelina Mian.

0:22.1

Do you remember the bastard person reference? Yes, I do remember. Do you remember the

0:25.5

bastard people? Because you're bastard. Do you remember I hate you in your ass face

0:31.4

reference? No, I forgot. Yes. Well, in case people have not figured out what we're

0:37.7

talking about here. They're waiting for us to get to the point. Yeah. I might as well
