Monsters are only pretend.

You know, there's just a lot of that.

I'll come with you.

You know, you're always kind of like, no, there's nothing to be scared of.

There's everyone just calm down.

With my wife, it's always constant.

I just don't want her to worry about things.

It's okay.

Everything will be fine.

We'll figure this out.

And anyway, I guess because of that,

You don't have anything to worry about because I got it covered.
