I think I’d like to go upstairs and look around.
I didn’t know I’d lost a button.
I guess I’d better go and see if I can find my button.
This must be a palace! I’ve always wanted to live in a palace.
I’ll never find my button here.
Oh, here’s my button!
I know I’ve always wanted a home.

See, I told you it would be easy to find your button.
I like you the way you are!
You’re going to be so happy living here with me.
You don’t need to be perfect to be loved.
