  Speaker 2: enough trust to eliminate unnecessary ones.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you, in that case, there's a lot
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: of trust in our family.
• 0:47

  Speaker 1: Or you know what I do sometimes? I'll just shut
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the door for her. And then lo and behold, Naomi
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: or Miles will open it again. Like if we're all together,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that happens a lot.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: So all four of you were in there and Coco's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: doing her thing.

• 1:54
  Speaker 2: grab somebody? Because you just... No, wait.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Just.
• 1:56

  Speaker 2: we're a little bit better with that, but.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: What about the shower? Like if you're showering.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If somebody's in the shower and you need to step
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in and grab something, yes. But I would prefer not
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to have that. I don't know. I just still want
• 2:17

• 2:22
