Previously on The Villain's Lair...
2
The Sea Witch must be dealt with for the last time!
3
Ursula mentioned a deal.
4
Perhaps we should discuss the terms.
5
I have no intention of making another deal with her.
6
You are familiar with the Shadow Man, I presume?
7
Mm-hmm.
8
He has aligned himself with the Sea Witch and threatens our past and future.
9
You possess an artifact capable of controlling the shadows.
10
Paradise, I believe.
11
The Sea Witch is merely a descendant of a god.
12
Perhaps then what we need is a god.
13
The Lord of the Underworld himself, Hades.
14
I-isn't he dead?
15
Like, dead dead?
16
You know as well as any of us, we've all cheated death.
17
His soul was devoured and lost to the Brilla Sticks.
18
I say we fish his soul out of the river like a codfish!
19
Perhaps a less primitive solution.
20
The Black Cauldron.
21
Legend says its magic can return the dead.
22
Magic Mirror, show thy face.
23
Reveal the Cauldron's resting place.
24
Across the sea the Cauldron lies, hidden under more of her skies.
25
What are we waiting for?
26
We must leave at once!
27
I shall accompany the captain to Malva.
28
A single player and a pair of dice.
29
My dear, if it's games you desire, then you need only ask to be the court jester.
30
After all, you already have the hat.
31
What?
32
How flattering.
33
You, above all, would certainly know the qualities best suited for a fool.
34
This game, however, does not concern you, Your Majesty.
35
Well, I suppose it depends on the game.
36
You'll remember well that the Queen is the most powerful piece on the board.
37
Powerful, perhaps, but not invincible.
38
Certainly more powerful than your knight in burlap sack you've had tucked away.
39
Ha ha ha!
40
Knight?
41
How quaint.
42
Merely a pawn.
43
Nothing a queen can't make short work of.
44
Enough!
45
Why are you so eager to take this journey?
46
I've never known you to be a volunteer.
47
Well, as an old monarch once said, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
48
And what might that be?
49
Oh, you've forgotten already.
50
Why, to return the Lord of the Underworld, I bet.
51
We really must have someone write this down for you.
52
To return Hades?
53
And nothing more?
54
Could it be that the mighty Queen is threatened?
55
Threatened?
56
By a wingless fairy?
57
Let us not forget who restored you to the world of the living.
58
If it weren't for me, maybe think what if If you would still be at the bottom of that cliff Just a sad old tale, beaten and impaled A pathetic relic,
59
all because you failed This is the story as I recall Socialism,
60
gratitude, and animatitude That's all But the story, yes, but a detail or two,
61
oh man I imagine a woman of your age must have difficulty remembering True, I owe a debt,
62
but let's not forget Why you needed me to give you what you could not get So go on attack, I have what you lack It was I,
63
not you, that brought the villains back So ask your mirror on the wall
64
Who's the saddest or the baddest one of all?
65
That's all If by saddest you mean the one who follows orders Then I believe that title belongs to you Yes,
66
you brought them back under my command It was I, not you, that had the master plan Lock
67
that witch away in a sea she'd stay Now unable to
68
collect her debts from us to pay Your debt My debt Yes, it was our debt Wrong again, my pet With a single bite on a stormy night Seven
69
little men caught what you did to poor Snow White Now you're off your throne
70
so I'd watch your tone As I recall you took a loser tumble of your own Well done, I'm sure that now you think you've won this fight But alas,
71
you forget I survived that night Not quite In the sea you drowned, but the sea witch found an opportunity And brought you back to solid ground Quite the find she made,
72
for your life she'd trade The sea king's crowned a deal that you betrayed That's rich, now let's talk about the deal you made
73
There was once a king who had found his bride But a winged green fairy the kingdom denied Stefan's love you lost, so the sea you crossed A deal for a sleeping,
74
curse your wings, it costs Spare me your high and mighty
75
and your goal Cause I'm the rule and you are nothing but the fool That's all You're the one to blame,
76
no denying it You're responsible and yet you are defying it Now you've made your pet
77
so you can lie in it You just need me for someone to blame
78
Now let's not forget
79
If it's worse for me Why you needed me to give
80
you what you couldn't It's just a washed out hack I have what you lack
81
Now I brought the whole news back This is the story inside Recall
82
So so so better turn it down Ask a matter on the wall Who's the saddest one of all
83
That's all That's all
84
I'm sorry.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
