Hey, Calvin. You said you wanted
to show me something?

Yes, Dave, I do. Um...

Look at this.

What is it?

It's the baby-changing table

that you and Gemma gave Tina
for her grandma shower.

It says "some assembly required."

Well, this is not some. This is all.

Well, Calvin, that's part of the appeal.

Not only is it a gift, but
it's a fun building project.

I see. I get it.

You want me to help you build it.

Close. I want you to build
it while I go play golf.

Hmm, this is a fun project.

No, you're about to find out.

Keep your eyes on the skies

can you reveal the baby's name instead?

Mom, no. We're not
telling anyone the name.

We want to save something

Mommy, no!

Okay. Hit it.

I'm gonna use my drone

Yep. That's Orion.
