Title: Storks – part 2

Text:

All right. Head in the game, Junior.

So, you're Hunter.
What do you do around here?

(LAUGHS)

No, I hate that.

(ROBOTIC) Hunter. Nice. To. Meet. You.

No, that's too robot.

Just say it normal. Just say it normal.
Here we go.

Nice to meet you!

- What is wrong with me?
- (ELEVATOR DINGS)

(GRUNTS)

HUNTER: Junior.

Hunter.

(JUNIOR GROANING)

(SQUEAKING)

(SQUEAKING)

You know why
I built my office entirely out of glass

even though birds can't see glass?

I do not.

(STORKS GRUNTING)

- Power move.
- (STORKS GROAN)

Eighteen years ago, I saved all storks
by getting out of babies

and into package delivery.

Now, this Monday at Storkcon, the board
will announce they're kicking me upstairs.

I'm going to be named Chairman.

Which means you are going to be named

boss.

JUNIOR: Boss!

Cool, cool, cool. Very cool, very cool.

Now, look upon your domain
with your eyes wide open.

- (JUNIOR GROANS SOFTLY) Yeah.
- Wider.

I love it. Feels good.

How can you be boss
if you can't look at it?

If I go blind, it was worth it.

You know the hardest thing
about bein' boss?

Staring at the sun?

No, this is easy.

Whether to be like a friend boss
or a distant, weird boss?

Always be distant and weird.
What's the matter with you?

Sorry.

No, it's dealing with that.

JUNIOR: The orphan Tulip?

I don't understand.

Do you know why
we stopped delivering babies?

Because there are so many
other ways of getting babies?

Yes. But that's not the whole story.

Eighteen years ago,
when we still delivered human infants,

a stork named Jasper
went crazy and tried to keep a baby.

Tulip's beacon broke.

Her address was destroyed,
so we could no longer deliver her.

My baby!

It was then I realized that
there was no future in baby delivery.

Now, the orphan Tulip has just turned 18,
which means we can finally liberate her

and return her to the human world.

But she's no trouble.

Oh, she isn't, is she?

Here's our profit chart.

- I love a good profit chart.
- Me, too.

Yeah!

The peaks are when Tulip is on vacation,
asleep or out with the flu.

The valleys are when she tries to help.
Cool. I will liberate her.
Consider her liberated.

And if she doesn't want to be liberated?

Fire her. I'm talking about firing her.

Really?

The only thing you need to do to be named
boss on Monday is liberate the orphan Tulip.

If I'm not being clear, I mean fire her!

Yes, sir. I am on it.

I have read between the lines
and heard you overtly.

(SQUEAKING) Ow, ow, ow...
