- The armpits stink because of the hair.
- 'Cause of the hair?
Oh, maybe we should add some hair in there then.

Could be like a partner in crime.
Or like, somebody you would marry.

Long or short?

Kind of like yours.
- Okay.
What can you tell me about her nose?
- Like my nose, except it's a little bigger.
- Okay. - Because she's older.
- [Koji] Oh, how much older is she?
- [Neesa] A year and a half.
- [Koji] Would you two be like sisters?
- [Neesa] Yeah.
- Would she like boss you around, or would you be equals?
- Equals. - Equal partners.
- I don't like being bossed around.
(Koji chuckles) - Is it a boy or a girl,
or does that matter?
- We don't know yet.
- Is it a human?
- No, it's a shark.
- It's a shark.
In an astronaut suit.
- Yeah.
And a birthday cake on his head.
- That's pretty stylish.
(Ernie giggling)
- Maybe we should put us together right here.
I wear a fancy suit.
- A fancy suit, okay.

- Mm-hmm.
You can, you can let go now.
- Thank you.
They're like mine.
You're a good drawer.
- Oh, thank you.
A lot of times, the kids have very critical things to say.
So this is the face that you're gonna see
for the rest of your life.
(boy yells)
Yeah, dude, for real.
(boy continues yelling)
What do you mean by that?
(boy chuckles)
- One interest that we both love is slime.
- Slime?
- Yeah.
- Like making slime?
- Making slime, touching slime, playing with slime.
- Oh, okay.
- [Neesa] Ooh.
- So if you had a life partner, right?
It'd basically be like a friend
that you do stuff with for your whole life.
What's like some stuff you would want to do
with someone like that?
- Play lots of board games, like Monopoly and Risk.
- [Koji] Would they have to let you win?
Or you want them to play for real?
- [Girl] Play for real.
- Who do you think would win more?
(both laugh)
- Play soccer.
- Play soccer?
Okay.
This shark's playing soccer in an astronaut suit.

She'll have a beautiful voice.

(chuckles)
What would you sing?
- A Whole New World.
- Yeah?
She seems pretty cool.

Our pets are kind of like our kids, too.
- Oh, okay.
You're those kinds of people.

- What if somebody was really, really cool,
but they didn't like Filipino food?
Could you marry that person?
Or no?
- No. - Not possible?
- My husband also has to be very good at fixing things.
- Like what kind of stuff?
- Like, he would also be able to like fix a phone.
- Okay, maybe I'll make like a broken cell phone over here.
So how do you make money then?
- He carries a hammer a lot.
- A hammer? - Yeah.
- And what does he do with the hammer?
- [Ernie] You hammer peanuts.
- You smash peanuts and you sell the peanuts to make money?
- Yep.

- Yes.
- Yes, and where would you live?
- In a house.
Near the water.
Around like ocean shore.

Oh, that's tragic.
Would you have a wedding ceremony and everything?
- Yeah.
- Where do you think you would do that?
- Hawaii.
- Hawaii?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can I come to your wedding?
Am I invited? - Mm-hmm.
- We can have like a party, and then we would have this
ginormous cake which is about seven feet tall.
- [Koji] Seven feet tall.
- I think mine is gonna have a house,
'cause the party is about the first day
of us living in the same house.
- Oh, okay.
- I like orange shirts.
- So you have matching shirts then?
- Yeah.
- What's the shirt?
- A silly octopus!
The ink is black, and the black is blue.
Use it in for it, too!
I have a good imagination!
(Koji chuckles)
- Do you want to get married?
- Uh, I don't know.
I'm open to the idea.
I've been alive for 31 years and haven't met anybody that--

Okay, you ready?
On the count of three.
One, two, three.
