Hey,  Reggie.  Did  you  meet  my  parents?  Oh  Mom..  Dad,  just  so  you  know,  Reggie  didn't  knock  out  Chris.  I  was  there.  I  saw  it.  It  was  Darryl  Peeps.  Don't  blame  Reggie  for  what

•  When  nurses  rush  in,  he  realises  that  he  has  actually    shouted  those  words  out  aloud!

I  told  the  mayor  that  parades  should  be  led  by  heroes,  and  I  told  him  that  there's  only  one  real  hero  in  Appleton  today.  So,  what  do  you  

say,  Newt?  Can  I  ride  in  your  parade?
