No one's seen him since

Calvin's last game.

Something about a bet

he didn't have the money to cover.

There's gonna be

a lot of changes around here.

Yeah. I can see that already.

Yes.

Yeah. Too bad you're not

gonna be around to enjoy it.

What do you mean?

Well, things are going

great with the team now.

Everything's going well with my father.

I have furniture in the house,

but still something's missing.

And I heard it through the grapevine

that you're still looking for a father.

Yeah.

Yeah?

That's great.

Because what I'm missing is a son.

Thanks... Dad.

Murph!

Hey, Murph, come here.

Um, you know what today is, right?

What?

It's 2-for-1 orphan day.

You take one orphan,

and then you get another one.

I mean, if that's OK with you.

Hey, Murph.

Hey, T-time.

You know, I'm gonna take

Calvin home with me today.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

But you know what?

We were kinda hoping

that you'd come, too.

You mean...

Murph, we're going home.

We're going home!
