Ashton: (laughs) But you're not supposed to feed the ants, little one.
Young Ben: But what if they get hungry?
Ashton: There's enough food for the ants, Benny. There's no need to throw fries at the floor.

Ashton: (laughs) But don't you miss your mama?
Young Ben: (looks up at Ashton) Can I have flower? (points at flower crown)
Ashton: Sure thing, love. (places crown on boy's head) There. How does that feel?
Young Ben: Pretty like Ash. (giggles)
Ashton: (coos) You are much too precious, Benny.
Young Ben: What is 'pwecious'?

Young Ben: Ash is pwecious, too! (laughs)
Ashton: (forced chuckle) No, sweetie. Ashton is not precious. (grins, tickles the boy) You're the precious one!
Young Ben: (laughs, struggles to get away) Stop! Ash, stop!
Ashton: (stops, kisses Ben on cheek) Aw. You're too cute. Let's get you to your mama before I decide to keep you.
