Woman: The square? You said the square? Poking your watermelon?

Cayden: [Speaks indistinctly]
Woman: Huh? It came out?
Cayden: Yeah. Carlo.
Woman: Carlo? No, I don't think Carlo wants to eat yet. You want to eat your watermelon? It's good.
Cayden: Don't wanna.
Woman: Okay. You don't have to eat it. Want to put it back inside your plate so you can eat your cereal? You want to eat it now? You got to bite it. Bite it with your teeth.
Boy: More.
Woman: More what? More what? Say, "More watermelon, please."
Boy: More watermelon, please.
Woman: Okay. Try to use the scoop. Great. You had three pieces of watermelon. That's your third piece of watermelon.
