Aidan, in bed, talking to himself

"So . . . I'll get Redtail back from Malcolm in the morning."
"And then . . . I'll give Malcolm a different animal. And he can keep that for a little longer . . . "
"And then . . . he'll bring that back . . . and I'll give him a different animal . . . "
"And he can keep taking a different animal, and keeping it a little longer each time . . . "
"But eventually, when it's over, it's over."
