[The video focuses on Connor, who is currently condemned to never move from the couch again because he has a St Bernard in his lap. The dog huffs gently as Connor places a hand on his head, and starts to scratch behind his ears.]

I was just wondering if anyone here could teach me a song they know from home. It can be any song, but I promised someone that I would learn one for her. And as I'm not going to be moving any time soon, it seemed to me that now would be the best time. Isn't that right, Sumo?

[He gets absolutely no acknowledgement from the dog.]

Don't worry, I would only have to hear it once. I have a very good memory.

[And maybe people could use a little distraction from whatever that dream was.]

If that would make you happy.

[He holds her close, happy to cuddle. He feels so much better when he has Justine with him.]

I don't know that song, but it sounds... interesting.

Being with you makes me happy.

[She hadn't meant to say that out loud but oh well.]

It's a children's song. I don't know if it's supposed to make sense.

[Justine waits a moment and then begins to sing him the itsy-bitsy-spider, with the hand movements that go along with the song.]

[He can't help but smile at the song.]

Maybe it's supposed to teach children that better days will come, and you can try again even if you fail the first time.

[Something that Connor wishes he was taught. Instead, he was built to never fail, and when he did fail regardless he was scolded harshly.]

[ishisstrength]

That is possible. I think some adults need to remember that song.

[Children aren't the only ones who need to learn.]

But it… it is a cute song.
