00:00:03,713 --> 00:00:05,966
I was starting to see myself
as a ladies' man.

3
00:00:06,049 --> 00:00:07,801
Or like, a man who's with a lady.

4
00:00:07,884 --> 00:00:10,720
But when we visited North High to see
if they stole our Beast mask,

5
00:00:10,804 --> 00:00:13,598
Napoleon over here
tried to win over my girlfriend.

6
00:00:13,682 --> 00:00:16,393
That man looks ridiculous
and you should dump him and date me.

7
00:00:16,476 --> 00:00:18,436
These people made us do a dance-off

literally fall in love.

I know it's a crazy day
with the career fair and all,
