Lupin: The Toddler is sick. Elvis: Lupin, it's important to remember Toddlers are mostly just peanut butter and germs to begin with. Puck: And popsicles. Lupin: Puck! Get out of there! It's not safe! Puck: Don't be ridiculous. He needs me. Toddler: Mow mow. Elvis: Sticky fingers, sneezing in your face, boogers everywhere-and that's at 100% health. When a toddler gets sick, the germ levels are off the chart. Puck: I don't care, Elvis. I can save him. Woman: Awww, is your friend Pucky keeping you company? Toddler: Mow, mow, mow, mow, mow, mow. Puck: Though you may be little, even now you have the power within you to be...the biggest spoon! Elvis: I don't care how inspiring this is, I'm not going near them.
