Renee Paquette is on the stage and she brings out a box that will be used for The Acclaimed to put their handprints in cement for the Hollywood walk of fame.

They say that they are the stars and the only reason The Acclaimed is popular is that they stole their dad. Billy Gunn grabs the mic and says a dad’s gotta do what a dad’s gotta do, and he tells them to put their hands in the cement instead and as they do, the Acclaimed pants them, and then Billy knocks them into the cement.
