Don't Say Baby
Skedaddle to Norman's Office
At the office, the team tries to trace a letter using a child's drawing. A pregnant woman named Charley Reddick arrives to interview for a temp job, and Norman is instantly flustered. His coworkers warn him to keep his mouth shut around her, especially about the pregnancy.
The scene mines comedy from a simple workplace problem: everyone can see that Charley is pregnant, and nobody is allowed to say so. Norman, already rattled by the morning, keeps looking and keeps almost saying the forbidden word, while the others coach him like a man on a diet being pushed past a bakery. The rule itself is the joke, and the humor lands because it is impossible and everyone knows it. Under the laughs there is a small point about changing manners at work. As one line puts it, "It's a new world, Norman," and Norman is the last one still living in the old one.

Charley is pregnant, and asking personal questions about pregnancy is off-limits at work, so they tell him not to bring it up.
It is a playful word for leaving quickly, used when someone hurries Charley off to Norman's office for the interview.
The team studies a child's artwork because an article says kids draw themselves beside their heroes, which may point to the letter's sender.
Badly. He keeps staring, almost says the wrong thing, and admits his heart cannot take any more of this today.
