And I'm sure you see the sharp quills

and the tough exterior.

But you know what I see?

Just a great guy looking for love.

And that's what Robin sees

in my brother Dave.

Aw.

- To the couple.

- Yeah.

To you guys.

Congratulations.

- All right.

- To Dave and Robin!

Hi.

I... I...

God, what was I, uh... ?

Ahem. Heh.

I, uh...

Sorry, I just lost my train of...

I got a train of... Train.

What I'm basically saying is...

I mean, I'm not...

May not be an expert on love,

you know,

per se.

But I do know a lot about animals.

He's an indigenous...

He's a woodland creature. Ahem.

Did I cover burrowing?

Did I go over burrow

because I don't know if I got... ?

I had a whole thing on burrow.

Did it get hotter, 10 degrees hotter?

Where did that breeze go?

It is hot.

My elbows are sweating.

That's weird.

I don't know why I'm telling

you this now. Oh, boy.

I had so many beautiful things...

I'm just gonna sum up.

I think sum it up,

what I wanted to say.

Dave, Robert, good luck.

That's really what it comes down to.

And anybody who wants to

learn more about porcupines,

I'll be off to the side over here.

Carry on, my wayward son

Yeah. Food for thought,

ladies and gentlemen.

You invited Stephanie?

Sorry to jump you like that.

I didn't even know Robin was

gonna invite her. I'm an idiot.

You still got a thing for her,

don't you?

So, Stephanie, I saw the way

that you were looking at Griffin.

Is something going on?

I don't know.

I guess I feel bad about the

way things ended between us.

I might've been a little rough on him.

A little?

Okay, Robin, a lot.

I'll own it.

Seeing him tonight and up there

in his little uniform and...

So cute.

I don't know, it just reminds me

that he has so much potential.

You deserve a great girl in your life.

But you gotta understand

how the world works.

What's wrong with being a zookeeper?

Nothing, you're the best, okay?

It's just...

Look.

Offer's still on the table

to work at the dealership.

Okay? Because here's you,

the grass, mine's greener.

Dave.

No, I'm serious.

You could make

your annual salary in a month.

That is how you get a girl

like Stephanie.

Come on, this could be

a whole new life for you.

Think about it.

Yeah.

Floyd, right?

I hope my being here doesn't

make you uncomfortable.

I'm not uncomfortable.

So comfortable.

Ah! Ah.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

No, it's fine, it's fine. I got it.

Oh, God, it's barbed.

Okay, so, hey, how you doing?

Still in design school?

No, no, I've been out for a while.

Okay.

I'm a buyer for Saks now.

Oh, that's good.

I see you've been busy.

Lead Zookeeper.

Yes, yeah. You know,

I got the bump last year.

They don't usually until
