Well, I hope that you can indulge your old man because I have a lot I would like to say. I always have a lot to say, don't I? I brought you a present. It's a um... it's a copy of a plaque and it's on the wall of the theater that was built in your honor. You got your own theater, kid! It opens this week and you are going to be a big shot now. I want you to know that um... a lot of people who love you, they came together to make this happen. And it's a really special place where... where little kids can come to... to act and sing and dance. All the things that you love so much. I wonder if your little sister* here is going to end up being as a big ham as you were, ha. She's getting so big, Dee. I need to bring a new picture. She is really beautiful... beautiful like you were.

 

* A few months before, Victoria had a new baby with Billy.  Though she was in a close relationship with Stitch, they know that the father is Billy because they had a paternity test.
