Analysis
Babe, what's wrong? I don't want to talk about it. Are you sure? Yeah. It looks like you've been crying. Have you? Yeah. Then tell me what's going on. It's Punch. Punch? Like Punch the monkey. The monkey what? Punch the monkey that got abandoned by his mom in Japan. Now he carries around a little plushy of a orangutan as a surrogate mother. Are you doing one of those stupid tests on me? Test? Yeah, like those stupid questions, like, would you love me if I were a worm? Punches a real monkey and none of the other monkeys want to play with him. And he's a baby. Oh. And he tried to get a hug from another monkey, and the monkey kept pushing him away. Huh? And then Punch, like, ran to his stuffy and hugged it. And he sleeps with his stuffy, his little orangutan. Little stuffed animal. Babe, calm down, bro. He doesn't have a mom. And he cuddles up with the stuffed animal, pretending it's the mom. And you could see it going like it's crying. Okay? And it's sad. All right? But why are you so upset about it? Why aren't you?
