Mike: Here you go, Wellie.
Just feed it to her.
Right temperature?
Wellie: Much better, thank you.
Mike: Hi girl, hi!
Wellie: Please don''t let me down!
Wellie: We have to be like their mothers.
We have to be with her 24/7.
You know that''s how she''ll end up accepting you as her mother.
Cause she knows that you are the provider.
Mike: You know, we've just got to take it one step at a time.
Bob: That gets her trunk up.
Mike: Come here.
Mike: Okay, alright.
Mike: Alright, shh, shh.
Wellie: Come.
Come, Naledi.
Tell me, what''s wrong with you?
You want to suck my finger?
Oh no, my ear Wellie: I can''t get inside her heart or inside her mind and tell exactly what she''s going through.
Wellie: What they need is the love.
Feel good?
