Victor looks too, taking it all in. That book Santa got him for Christmas was wonderful for explaining things. He's smiling too as she flips through. This -- this really could be wonderful. That's actually something he likes about Chicago -- nothing seems quite impossible. Back home, the idea of a man flying like this would have been laughed at. Here -- well, look at what they're doing now.

He's really skinny, though -- in fact, one might say he's underweight, though Victor deals fine with being that thin. It's just a common trend among the Van Dort men. "Though -- there may be a scale around here. . . ."
