Woman: Is that one a square? Oh, yeah. I don't know if it's gonna fit. That one's a different kind of block. We're trying. Oh, we got it!
Woman 2: You did it! Looks like a car to her.
Woman: Turn it. Do you help daddy fix the cars? Hmm. Kind of looks the same right here. I think it's too big, though.
Woman 2: Turn it.
Woman: Should we turn it again?
Woman 2: Okay.
Woman: Oh. I don't know if those will fit either.
Woman 2: You want more?
Woman: Want help? Want to try in here? Oh, you're just gonna put them inside? Put one inside? There's a green triangle.
Woman 2: Close.
Woman: You notice that you got missing corners, huh?
Girl: [Inaudible]
Woman 2: Turn it over? Okay. How about that?
Woman: The square.
Woman 2: Here.
Woman: That's a blue square. That has four sides. Well, it's a cube, I guess.
Woman 2: It's a cube.
Woman: Since it has more than four sides.
Woman 2: Want to try the triangle? Right there. Kaykay. Ready?
Woman: There you go!
Woman 2: Almost. Line it up. Yay!
Woman: Yay!
Girl: [Squeaks]

[Squeaking continues]
Woman 2: Try this one? One, two, three, four. Does that go in there? Or it there? How many sides? One.
Girl: Butterfly.
Woman 2: Butterfly? No, that's a bear.
Woman: Is there a butterfly?
Woman 2: It's a bear.
