- Negative. It's clean.
- Hey, guys. How's it going?
- Terrible. Lily's been crying for an hour,
and we can't figure out why.
- Yeah, we've tried everything to get her to stop.
She's not hungry, gassy, or sleepy.
She has her blankie and her giraffe.
- Well, sometimes babies just cry
and you don't know the reason.
Oh, it's okay, sweetie.
- You guys did plenty of crying when you were babies, trust me.
Except Lucy.
She just...stared at us.
- Yeah, that's why we grew her bangs out.
- I can still see you.
- [quavers] - Anyway,
try to have a little patience with Lily, kids.
She'll stop crying when she's ready.
- I guess you're right.
We'll just learn to live with it.
- Ugh. Speak for yourself.
- Yes, her caterwauling is unbearable.
- We need a plan.
- I've got it!
- Leaving is not a plan.
- No. Fenton the Feel-Better Fox.
My favorite toy when I was a baby.
He always cheered me up.

diaper change time.
During this approximately 47-second window,
Lily will be separated from the demon toy.
That's when we strike.
