[beat] What do you mean?
You're both human! You have to admit, it's a little confusing. You're big and can talk, and he's small and can only make noises. How was I supposed to know you were the same species?
[chuckles nervously] What?

Well, can't play guitar with little baby hands.
[Rose giggles and then pauses for a moment]

You're never the same, even moment to moment—you're allowed and expected to invent who you are. What an incredible power... the ability to grow up.
[pause] Wow. Those would make some pretty good lyrics. Hold on! Watch Sour Cream a second. [runs off] I gotta write this down!
