Yes Pino, a doll. It's Cindy's doll. Have you seen it?

Cindy? Cindy? The sad girl? Pino has some dolls at Pino's place! Pino found them in the dump. Pino will go look.

[There's the sound of feet pattering along for a few seconds, then a video feed clicks on, showing Pino's horrible shack and strange array of piles of junk. She has a small pile of dolls and stuffed animals she's collected from the, but obviously none of them are the right one.]

Will they help? Will they? Pino wants to help! Cindy lost her papa too.

Once I find it and give it to Cindy she can show it to you, okay Pino?

[Eleanor might've been creeping on Cindy's last post.]

Okay.

Can't Pino help? Help?
