** What makes it even more moving is that it's a CallBack to the prologue in Kansas, where we see Oscar failing to help a girl in a wheelchair who asked him to help her walk again. That girl was played by Joey King, the same actress who voiced the China Girl. Oscar's not going to let her down again.
