What if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I don't think I can take that kind of rejection.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The worry here is oddly specific: not danger, but being replaced. Imagining 'another dinosaur' and then 'a mean one' shows the fear growing as it's spoken, and 'I don't think I can take that kind of rejection' is a funny, tender admission of how easily being set aside could hurt.
