It used to be several premium infants a day, now I'm lucky if I get two Spaniard toddlers to quench my insatiable, burning hunger for innocent blood. In this way, I feel I've sacrificed even more than the rest of you. I've sacrificed my sacrifice, and I give up more every day in the form of feasting on subpar children than most of you will lose when my capital group buys your foreclosed home at auction."

It then boarded it's helicopter, which flew it a short way to a yacht with a helipad, which itself sailed out to sea until it could dock in an even bigfer yacht. From that yacht then launched a rocket, presumably to carry the nightmare creature back to it's home in low earth orbit where it can continue to look down on us, but literally this time.

I don't know the Cyrillic alphabet at all and at first glance I thought this was Vlad the Lad just saying "Ahem..."
