[Absolutely deadpan.] Gee. The only person who picks cradle is your wife. I wonder why that might be, Wally.

[They've been friends for long enough he can get away with that.]

You can carry me cradle if I can't hold on on my own. Does that help?

[He shakes his head, reaching out to clap Wally on the shoulder.]

Hey. You're my best friend, Wally. I'm just sorry we didn't get a chance to do this before.
