I still don't understand
why you brought me here today.

Well, honey, you're older now and Mama thinks
it's time to show you something very special.

- Ta-da!
- Wow, look at all these names.

These must be the names of people who
donated money to keep the park beautiful.

- Hmm, not exactly.
- Then these must be the , points of light.

No, Missy. These , names are the women
who've slept with Wilt Chamberlain.

You mean there's
a monument to that?

Honey, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
You see that name up there?

- Mom!
- That's right. Me. Me! [Laughs]

Mom, that's great.

- Oh.!
- You never cease to amaze me.

Well, honey, you know...

one of these days maybe
you'll get lucky and you'll meet Wilt...

and then your name
will be on the wall of fame.

Well, thanks all the same,
but, uh...

I've already
been there, homie.

You little rascal.

You don't have to tell me
why them call him The Stilt.

That's a nice tie you got there.

Thank you. Hangin' in there, huh?
How long the wait?

Well, see, it's two hours

The truth is, we've been making
a lot of films over the years.

Mm-hmm. But tonight,
