Episode title card: Sibling Adoption

Scene 1: The Johnson family's house/the dinner table
Melanie: "Well, Brian, should you tell him?"

Brian: "Can I, Melanie? or do you want me to?"

Calvin: "What, Mom and Dad? tell me what?"

Melanie and Brian: "We're planning on adopting a girl kid from Ontario Orphanage."

Melanie: "What do you think, Calvin?"

Calvin: "Good idea, I think, can I please be excused?"

Brian: "Why sure, Calvin, of course you can."

Later, Calvin is sitting right next to Hobbes in front of the television screen watching the ending of Codename: Kids Next Door season 7.

Brian: "So, Calvin, now that your show is over, let's speak with 1 another, how are you feeling about this exciting event?"

Calvin: "Pretty good so far."

Brian: "How are you feeling about our plan?"

Calvin: "Well, it's just that I'm gonna be a big responsible older brother to a younger sister when she gets adopted."

Meanwhile, during bedtime, Calvin is in bed with Hobbes, asleep.

The Very Next Morning..........

Calvin: "Alright, Hobbes, let's make a picture drawing for my soon to be younger sister, who Mom and Dad are adopting from Ontario Orphanage."

Calvin and Hobbes draw a rainbow colored picture with rabbits and ducks in it, then Calvin goes back downstairs to the living room.

Calvin: "Mom, Dad, Hobbes and I made this picture drawing to show my younger sister."

Melanie: "Oh, Calvin, it could be another hour before we adopt her."

Calvin: "Another hour? why's that?"

Brian: "'Cause there's lots to do, there are forms to fill out, interviews we need to have, paperwork we need to send to Ontario Orphanage and meet with a social worker."

Calvin: "Well what am I supposed to do 'til then? just wait?"

Melanie: "You can help all of us with some of the paperwork." Brian: "Here, Calvin, I hereby elect you keeper of the checklist." Melanie: "Your job is to help all of us keep on track and get everything finished in the nick of time." Calvin: [Sighs Heavily] "Alright." Meanwhile, during a true family photo session...... Calvin: "Look, you guys, this picture's for the people in Ontario Orphanage taking good care of my soon to be adoptive sister, so make it real good, but don't forget to smile nice and big, but show them we're serious and respective about this."

Calvin, Melanie and Brian smile nice and big for the photo.

Calvin: "That's it."

Calvin: "Mom? Dad? are you guys sure everything's in here?"

Melanie: "It's all prepared to go, Calvin."

Brian: "And I triple-checked the list."

Meanwhile, Calvin is right outside by the post box, and he puts the envelope inside to be mailed.

Calvin: "Good luck."
