(Reginald continues his speech)
Reginald: I acknowledge that, as a father,I was not without my faults.
Y/n: He's got that right.
Five: At least he admits it.
Reginald: I hope these shortcomings will be seen as only a rough patchon an otherwise verdant lawn.
Five: Yeah, a rough patch that lasted our entire lives.
Reginald: I'm proud to call you my children. Even those whom I raisedin a revenant version of myself.
Diego: He raised up?
Y/n: Not that I can remember.
Five: Me neither.
Reginald: I hope that tonightwe can create a few special memories in whatever precious little timewe have left.
Anala: He already gave us enough memories.
Ben: He didn't give up memories Anala, He gave us trauma.
Anala: Memories with a little flavor
Reginald: And now, in closing... (Y/n looks over to see Allison storming away from Viktor) The sun risesover a lily's field. A mother veiled, her lips concealed. The mourners come in droves of black to bury what their hearts unpack. With shallow breathand time eclipsed, I pray you miss death's gentle kiss. (At the end of his speech he hold up his glass of champagne as if to give a toast)
Anala: What the hell?
Ben: That makes no sense.
Anala: Does he ever?
Ben: No, no he does not.
Klaus: (Klaus starts clapping very enthusiastically.) Beautiful! Bravo, Dad! Bravo!
(Everyone follows suit and starts clapping as Reginald puts the microphone down and walks back to his table)
Five: I didn't think the old man had it in him.
Y/n: For a second there he almost sounded sincere. You'd almost believe he'd care
Diego: Dad...care. Never.
