Great idea to put an ad in the

some family.
How many replies have you had so

>> Uh, less than one.
But I'm feeling optimistic.

either?
Well, let me keep you company.
Back when I was a youth--
>> Is okay.
>> I know "is okay," I've got a
million stories.
Now, as I was saying...

everywhere in the kitchen.
Still can't find your valuable
thing.

somewhere else for it.

Whatever it is you're looking
for, we'll help you find it.

needs cleaning.

Misery.
I'm telling you, they're family.

aunt used to say whenever she
got blasted out of a volcano--
Well, she mostly just screamed.
But the point is, try, try, and
try again.

There you are!

really important to Ma and Skull
Roy.
>> Really?
It's really important?

stop the game.

mean, Misery?
>> That I have no future in spy
work.
>> See?
You can't prove they're not my
family.
>> But you can't prove they are.
>> What are you going to do?
>> There's only one thing I
can do.
>> Uh, isn't this the part where
you tell us?
>> Oh, right.
I'm going to give them their
reward.
>> I'm not following.
>> I'll know they're my family
or not judging from how they
react to it.

Okay, now I am.

you can stop...
doing whatever it is you're
doing.

about time you got your reward.

Very much rewarding?
>> Really, Skull Roy, and Ma.
Very much rewarding.
Here it is.
Come here.

Come here!

I really, really do not like
hugging...
So much.
Maybe a little.

That settles it.

Anything we can do to help out?

You tell them, Sergei!
Go ahead!
You break nice peoples' hearts!

We are not who we say we are.

so fast?

I've been trying to grow facial
hair for months.

looking for that valuable thing
you're looking for?

>> Sure.
Everyone makes mistakes from
time to time.

Nice!
How do you do it?

we can do to make it up to you?

stew!
