I told you that in confidence.

You don't make her upset. She's my life!

Oh, no, I said it out loud.

You're not supposed to say anything!

Sorry, guys. Cat's out of the bag!

- No!

- Meow!

Are you gossiping?

No gossip allowed! Go to HR!

I've called you both in because

I hear you've been having problems.

- And it's important we have...

- She's the one who started it!

- How dare you!

- How dare you!

- How dare both of you! You're fired!

- You can't fire me!

- I just did!

- Wait! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that!

- Guys! Group hug!

- Group hug!

Aw.

I'm hugging myself. Okay.

Somebody write me a letter!

Come in, Ninja Commander.

This is Cowboy Astronaut Agent Nate, over.

Ninja Team Commander, are you in position?

I'm about to launch the assault.

We can absolutely do that.

That's not gonna be a problem.

Ha-ha! Dr. LeFreeze!

You may have me outnumbered 7,000 to one,

but you weren't counting on one thing,

I'm not alone.

Ninja force, attack!

Ninja force?

Oh, ow! No! Oh!

This is the end.

Ninja force, tell my wife I loved her.

Gardner Real Estate. Henry...

- And Sarah...

- ...Gardner!

A house is not a home without a Gardner!

Ninja Commander, where were you?

- Uh, can you hold one second?

- Can you just...

You promised me that we were taking down

Dr. LeFreeze this afternoon.

You didn't show up,

and now he controls

most of Western Europe.

Ethnic tension is on the rise.

Yeah.

- We're totally done after this call, okay?

- Really?

- Five more minutes.

- And then we'll stop.

We promise.

We never stop. That's the Gardner promise.

Not even for five minutes.

Oh, look! There's one of our bench ads.

And you know what it says?

"We never stop."

We never stop. We never stop.

There's a stop sign. We're stopping.

We do stop for that.

I love you, brother.

It's like we're best friends

that live together!

And we yield.

And the yield

you're gonna get on this house, Kyle...

And that's what we were saying,

like you've gotta be up...

Mom, Dad,

I've decided I want a baby brother.

- Oh, honey, can you...

- Can you hold one second?

- Oh...

- Um...

I think we're fine as a family of three.

Why can't I have one?

Let's make this easy.

Where do you get one?

Why are you laughing and not answering me?

Where did you get me?

What is the joke?

Is there a different subject?

Okay, so there's a super weird

vibe in this car right now.

Oh, honey, this is very sweet.

But we have you.

And that's all we need.

That's right.

No, no, no, don't feel bad.

You can call us anytime.

Call us morning, noon or night.

Weekends, holidays.

No, we will pick up the phone

on Christmas.

Oh, well, I don't... Will we?

Yeah, you can call us on Christmas.

"Dear Stork Delivery Service,

"our adult names are Henry and Sarah.

"We are adult parents

of an absolutely perfect son named Nate.

"He really deserves a baby brother.

"As adults, it is our adult belief

"that it would be irresponsible

if this baby did not have ninja skills.

"Sincerely, adult parents

Henry and Sarah Gardner comma adults.

"Not Nate.

"P.S. He has to have ninja skills!"

Hi-ya!

Nailed it.

Happy birthday, dear Tulip!

Happy birthday to you!

Whoo!

Guys, thank you so much! Oh, my gosh.

Don't you think Junior put

you down here to get you out of the way?

Cheryl, that's not fair.

Why would you say that?

What? I can't help it.

I'm your outspoken friend.

I've never done this before,

but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Aha! A letter!

"The H.I. Department."

Don't know that one.

He said the number-one rule is

"Don't leave."

But if I don't deliver the letter,

I won't be doing my job.

I'll cover for you!

Okay, thanks!

I have excellent news.

I have taken care of the Tulip problem.

Wonderful.

Monday, it'll all be yours.

Barring any monumental screw-up.

Do you know what we'll do

when you're boss?

No. Tell me!

We'll barbecue together.

We'll point at things together.

We'll team-build together.

We'll wear suits together.

You'll never be alone

because Cornerstore is your family.

- What?

- And I'll be like your dad.

And you're like my son.

My son-ployee.

And like any family...

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

How do you turn this thing off?

...and racquetball and fishing...

Why are there so many screens?

Turn off, turn off, turn off!

You're about to

get everything you ever wanted.

Great convo, Hunter!

I'm so stupid!

I should have just fired her!

Why didn't I just fire her?

Tulip!

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing out of the room?

I told you not to leave the room!

Nah, it's cool. I'm covering for myself.

What?

Okay, we need to get outta here.

Come on. We have to go now.

Junior, you asked me to do a thing,

and I will not fail you!

Always deliver!

Wait! No!

This is the Baby Factory!

This is the Baby Factory?

No, no, no!

See ya!

Why did you do that?

Touchdown Tulip!

Stop celebrating!

I think it was supposed to go over there.

Oh...

You're right. That was wrong.

Oh, come on!

Why didn't we destroy

this place years ago?

Oh, my gosh!

I can't believe what I'm seeing!

Do you see all this?

Junior! This is amazing!

Why put the button there? Uh...

Come on!

Hi-ya!

Is it off?

Uh, I believe so.

Are you okay?

Your wing looks a little mangled.

My wing is fine. It's A-O-great.

Yeah, that seems bad.

Let's go.

This place is dangerous.

Huh. What is that?

Cool beans.

- What?

- What?

- What's happening?

- Mom, Dad.

The storks are bringing me a baby brother!

That sounds like a nice dream, buddy.

Let's go back to sleep, honey.

This is the best day of my life!

This is the worst day of my life!

Hunter's gonna kill me!

- Why don't we just tell someone?

- Are you insane?

If anyone finds out about this,

I am dead meat.

My hopes of becoming boss destroyed.

No, no, no.

Come on!

What up?

- Hey, Pigeon Toady.

- Hey, there.

Hey, cool metal thing, brah.

New kind of package? What's in it?

- Candy canes.

- Some gas. Uh...

Cool, brah. You catch the game last night?

- Oh, yeah. Real great game.

- Excellent playing.

Yeah, too bad about the last quarter.

- Yeah, that was too bad.

- Real bummer.

And yet then with a little

time left, we pulled it out...

- Totally!

- Yeah.

...only to lose it again

in the last second.

- Such a disappointment.

- It was a comedown.

- Only to get it back.

- Best day of my life!

- Only to lose it!

- Worst day of my life!

Only to get it back.

A roller-coaster of a game!

Only to lose it again.

What a game! Here we go, see you later.

Bye!

Cool. No big deal.

Wait... Wait a second.

There was no game last night.

What the...

Come on. Let's get to my workshop.

We'll be safe there.

All right, okay, all right, all right.

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

We just need to keep a low-pro here. Okay?

If one person sees a stork with a baby,

my chances of being named boss

are ruined. So...

What are you doing?

- I wanna see the baby!

- No, no, no.

We do not open that thing.
