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." 00:04:53 Well, there isn't a box for it, but that toast needs buttering. 00:04:58 Look, this picture's for the people in China taking care of my sister, so make it good. 00:05:05 Don't forget to smile. 00:05:07 But show them we're serious about this. 00:05:10 Um, serious, but also really nice. 00:05:13 That's it. 00:05:14 (camera shutter clicks) You sure everything's in here? 00:05:33 It's all ready to go. 00:05:35 I triple-checked the list. 00:05:38 BINKY: Good luck. 00:05:39
