As they practice the salsa steps, Lily accidentally bumps into a table, knocking over some of Wallace's belongings. Wallace gets frustrated and yells at Lily for being clumsy and careless.
Wallace
Hey! Watch where you're going! Look what you did to my stuff!
quickly picks up the scattered items, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and determination Oops, Dad! I'm so sorry!
Wallace
okey.
quickly wipes away a tear, putting on a determined expression Don't worry, Dad, I'll make it up to you!
Wallace
How are you gonna do that?
sniffles, trying to hold back tears Dad, I promise I'll be more careful next time! But right now, let me make you proud in another way!
Wallace

takes a deep breath, straightens her posture Alright, Dad, watch this! quickly grabs a nearby chair and starts dancing around it, spinning and twirling gracefully
Wallace

continues dancing, her movements becoming more fluid and graceful Take that, Dad! Just wait until I get my chance to shine on that stage again!
Wallace
chuckles You sure are full of surprises, aren't ya?
stops dancing and rushes over to Wallace, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug Thanks, Dad! You're the best!
Wallace
smiles and pats her back I'm proud of you, Lily. You've got some real talent.
