Big City Greens (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - The Move - full transcript

(Benny panting)

Hey, everyone!
Didja hear da news?

So you know,
that weird country family

from down the block?

The ones that cause
so much trouble?

Like that time they--

Let a bear loose in the sewer...

Beat you in a motorcycle race!

(groans)

Dropped a giant watermelon,
50 stories on live TV.

Erased my brain
in a digital realm!



Y'know, our neighbors!

Well, guess what?

The Greens are moving back
to the country!

BILL: Hmm.

GLORIA:
I still can't believe it.

You guys
are really leaving, huh?

(chuckles) Yeah,
it's pretty crazy.

But the plan
was always to stay at Ma's

until we were able to get back
on our feet.

And after living here
in Big City for a while,

I'd say we're back on our feet.

So, when I saw our old
country farm up for sale,

I knew it was time
to go back home.

It seems like just yesterday
Cricket was terrorizing me



on a daily basis, and I hated
your entire family's guts!

(laughs)

(sighs)

I'm really gonna miss you, guys.

We're gonna miss
you too, Gloria.

You've become like
a third child to me.

Speaking of children,
where's Cricket?

(laughs)

We back home yet?

Ah, shoot, came out too early.

Boy, you're supposed to be
helpin' us pack.

Oh, but Father, I did pack.

Myself. And Remy.

Hi, Mr. Green!
I'm all ready to go.

Ready to go where?

My parents said
I could stay with you guys

in the country for a while,
like a study-abroad program!

Cricket told me
you said it'd be okay...

Oh, he did, did he?

Did I not tell you?
I'm kinda pretty sure I did.

Cricket did not tell me,

but I suppose there's plenty
of room on the farm.

We'd be happy to have you
stay with us, Remy.

Yippee-skippy!

Indeed, but what'll Vasquez do
without you as his ward?

He's using the time off
to catch up on his hobbies.

(sobbing)

Come back, Master Remy!

Come back!

- Good for him.
- Hey, Ma!

Would you mind giving us a hand?

We're on a time crunch.

Yeah, yeah, I'm comin'.

Uh, new glasses?

No. I always wear these!

Thanks for noticin'.

(sniffles)

Why are you snifflin'?

Why are you houndin' me?

Don't you got places to be...

(sneezes)

Rats.

Gramma!

You're snifflin'
'cause you're sad!

Don't worry.

We'll come back to visit you.

Oh, I know. I'm fine.

It's just these dang tear-ducts
betraying my will!

Nyeh.

Y'all know I'd come with you,
but it's my duty

to stay here
with my family home.

Besides, I gotta make sure
that one

don't tank my cafe investment!

- Hey!
-(motorbike revving)

Mama's ready to move
to the country!

- Mama!
- Mama!

Hey, Nance!

You know, you're welcome to live
in the farmhouse.

You don't need to lug
that big ol' trailer around.

I appreciate it, Bill.

But I like things as-is

with our separate
living arrangements.

Works for me.

Well, I think it's about time
to hit the road.

You kids ready to say goodbyes?

I think I am.

Just gotta get one last look.

CRICKET: Wow.

We sure did make a lot
of memories in this place.

That we did, brother.
That we did.

BOTH: Goodbye, Gramma's house!

Goodbye, Big City!

TILLY (as "Big City"):
Goodbye, Tilly.

We sure will miss you!

(normal voice) Oh, they said
they'll miss you too, Cricket.

- Aww.
- GRAMMA: Hey!

I better be next if ya still
wanna leave in once piece!

Y'all better call!

- Of course, Ma.
- Yes, Gramma. Yes, we will.

(theme music playing)

(truck engine revving)

(motorbike engine revving)

BILL: Ooh!

We shouldn't be
much further now!

(cheering)

Time to update Mama.

Breaker, this is
Dee-troit Tilly,

calling Red Danger.

We're front door sittin'
with the hammer down.

Double nickels and we'll be home
for Christmas early. Over.

Sweetie, I don't think
that means anything--

NANCY: 10-4, Dee-troit.

We hear you loud and clear.

Me and Rover Red are over
your shoulder, good buddy.

Watch for Nightcrawlers. Over.

Hey, Remy, since we're gettin'
pretty close,

I made you a little somethin'.

Look, it's a brochure!

Cricket Green's
Guide to the Country.

(gasps) I love brochures!

Ooh. Wow, what's that?

CRICKET: That, my friend,
is our old tree fort!

It's one of the all-time,
best country spots!

We built it with our bare hands.

I got so many splinters,
the doctors say

I'm now seven percent wood.

Yep! We had a lot
of good times on the farm.

And there will be
many more to come.

Oh, man. Country life
sounds like it was awesome.

Not was, Remy. It is awesome!

It'll be just like I remember.

I was master of the outdoors ♪

A champion of the land ♪

I climbed the biggest rocks ♪

♪ And I chopped wood
with my bare hands ♪

The country was a part of me ♪

Like an arm or pinky toe ♪

♪ The trees, the fields,
the creek, the mud ♪

♪ There's no place
I couldn't go ♪

When I get home ♪

I'll be back in my zone ♪

When I get home ♪

♪ I'll reclaim
my country throne ♪

BILL: ♪ In the country
I lived a peaceful life ♪

All my ducks were in a row ♪

♪ Problems were few
and far between ♪

Until Nancy, ya know ♪

♪ The best part
of that peaceful life ♪

♪ Was my great
front porch swing ♪

♪ Where I'd sit back,
just relax ♪

And not worry 'bout a thing ♪

When I get home ♪

The peace that'll bring ♪

When I get home ♪

♪ I'll watch the sunset
from my swing ♪

In the country, I was friend ♪

♪ To every creature
big and small ♪

♪ Whether they could fly
or swim ♪

Or run or even crawl ♪

After years of friendship ♪

My bond with them was set ♪

I'd settle petty grievances ♪

♪ And tell the owls
not to fret ♪

When I get home ♪

I'll see my furry friends ♪

When I get home ♪

♪ I'll prove that friendship
never ends ♪

Tilly, get back in the truck!

Apologies, Papa.

It's okay, honey.
We got excited.

ALL: When we get home ♪

It'll be all right again ♪

When we get home ♪

It'll be just like back then ♪

When we get home ♪

- Critters ♪

ALL: When we get home ♪

No stress, no bulging veins ♪

ALL: Oh, we just can't wait ♪

Oh, we just can't wait ♪

Home ♪

We made it.

(grunts) Country!

(giggling)

(sighs)

Home sweet home.

All right, you freeloaders.

Everybody out!

-(goat bleating)
-(cow mooing)

(chicken clucks)

NANCY: Well, Bill, you did it.

Ya got your farm back.

I did. Hmm.

Hopefully we can get
everything unpacked and--oh!

-(wind blows)
-(creaks)

And I'll be with you shortly.

(chuckles) All right.

It's been
a long journey, family.

But we're finally back home.

(all gasps)

CRICKET: Oh, wow!

Well, go on. Go inside.

(laughs) Yeah.

-(grunts)
- CRICKET: Cannonball!

(both coughing)

Ha! This couch is a bit dustier
than I remember.

And lumpier.

(gasps) Shakey!

It has been a while.

-(rattles)
- Aw, yeah,

that's the good stuff.

Whoa!

(dramatic music playing)

(chuckles) You've grown a lot
since we were here last, huh?

Hmm? Oh, yeah.

What's wrong, Till?

Hmm, something's different
than I remember.

It just feels off.

Nah, Tilly, you're nuts.

Everything's the same!

Cricket's right.

The bank never sold it
to anyone else

after they foreclosed on us.

REMY: Wow, wow, wow!

Mr. Green, what are these?

Ah.

Looks like you found my animal
carving collection.

All handmade by yours truly.

Pretty neat, huh?

Yeah! I like the one
that blinks!

The one that what now?

(both screams)

BILL: Deer, deer!

Real deer in the house!

(screams)

(whimsical music playing)

Don't worry, the Country King'll
handle this!

TILLY: Wait, I'll calm down
my animal friend!

BILL: He's just stuck!

All right, get outta here, deer!

(glass shatters)

BILL: Well, I guess
that works too.

Whoa!

Now that that deer's
"settled out,"

how's about we get settled in?

Well, I should probably
patch this up first.

Good thing I'm always
locked and loaded.

Right now?

Why don't you just take it easy
the rest of the day

and go relax
on your porch swing?

Oh, I will.

Just wanna handle
this one little thing,

so I don't have
to worry about it later.

Y'all go on ahead
and enjoy bein' home.

Hmm, okay.

Just don't get
carried away, ya hear?

C'mon, Remy.

Tilly and I will give ya
the upstairs tour!

Psh. When has Bill Green
ever gotten carried away?

Hmm? What the...

Oh. There must be a leak
in the pipes upstairs.

-(floor creaks)
- Huh?

And this uneven floorboard
could be dangerous.

A few things.

I'll just patch up a few things.

And this is mine and Tilly's
old room!

It'll look better
once we unpack.

(gasps) The preserved
dust outline of your hammock!

May I?

Knock yourself out, friendo.

(giggling)

Tourists.

(grunts) Now, if you make
your way over here,

you'll see the main attraction!

Wow! A genuine country tree.

Are they called
"coun-trees" here?

- No.
- Ah.

Well, it's nice
to meet you, Tree.

I'm Remy.

Now, this ain't just any tree.

It's my patented escape tree.

Ooh, ooh! How's it work?

Well, my dear Remy,
I'll show ya.

Watch my technique closely now.

(screams)

(groans)

(grunts)

(gasps) Yeah.

(grunts, groans)

Hmmm. Was that supposed
to look like it hurt?

Cricket!

Ooh! Ow-ow-ow, my little body.

I've never goofed
on the exit tree before.

What's goin' on?

Strange.

Maybe something's wrong
with the tree.

I'll ask the Donaldsons.

Who are the Donaldsons?

They're our tree neighbors.

They've been around for years.
Wonderful family.

Real salt
of the earth squirrels.

Hello, Mr. And Mrs. Donaldson!

It's been ages!

It's me, Tilly.
Your old neighbor.

(squeaking)

Tilly!

(thuds, groans)

I've never seen
the Donaldsons act like that.

I'm certain
we left on good terms.

Yeah. You know, Tilly.

I'm startin' to think
you were right earlier.

Something does feel different
about this place.

Perhaps our fragile minds
haven't been calibrated

to the reality
of our homecoming,

and we must awaken,

prying open
the sleep-encrusted eyes

of our rural souls.

- Oh.
- I was about to say

the same exact thing!

We need to do something
we used to do,

to make us feel at home again.

Oh, that's a great idea!

Remy, you still got
the brochure I gave you?

Oh, yeah, here you go.

Oh, yeah!

That's where we gotta go.

Ow! What?

The Donaldsons have reloaded!

(screams)

(squeaking)

BOTH: Sibling chop!

Hello woods!

Did you miss us?

Whoa.

This place is enormous.

Way bigger than
the Big City park.

Come on, Remy!
We're burnin' daylight.

Oh, coming, coming!

So, where are we going exactly?

Deep in these woods
rests our old tree fort.

All of our best adventures
started there.

Theory is, if we find the place

where our country memories
are strongest,

it will jolt our brains

and everything will finally
feel normal.

That tracks with me.

Yeah. But for a grand adventure
like this,

we'll need some
trusty walking sticks.

Now, these giant sticks
will work fine.

The Country King
will break it up

and then, we'll be good to go.

We'll be good to go!

To go!

Will you excuse me for a moment?

(grunting)

I hate you! Why won't you break?

(cracks)

(screams)

(groans)

You know what?
Walking sticks are dumb.

Real adventurers rely
on their keen instincts.

Now, onward!

- Oh, Cricket that's--
- The wrong way!

I know. That was a test
and you passed!

Now, onward!

Okay Bill,
that's the last of them.

-(machine whirring)
- Bill?

Hey, Bill? Uh...

(whirring)

Bill?

Bill!

Hey, Bill, whatcha doing?

Well, I fixed the broken window,

but then I noticed
a few other problems,

and then a few more.

But you were gonna relax
on your swing.

You don't have to fix
everything right now.

'Course not.

It's just that I'm on a roll.

And besides, I only got--

one, two--
fifty-seven more things to do!

And lookie here,
this old cabinet door

was busted,
but I fixed it right up.

(clatters)

Bill.

You're not goin'
into "fix-it" mode, are you?

Fix-it mode?

No!

(whirring)

I gotta snap him outta this
before it's too late.

(wind gushing)

(sniffs)

What's he doing?

He's using his patented
tracking technique.

Scouting the way
to the tree fort

by listening to what the woods
has to say.

What's that?

(laughs) No, he's not.

C'mon, y'all!
This way to the tree fort!

(panting)

Quick, stop!

It's poison oak!

We should find
a way around, right?

Doesn't poison oak cause redness
and major swelling?

For most people, yes.

But a lifetime of walking
barefoot in the woods

has given me a powerful immunity
to all things itchy!

(whimsical music playing)

All right.
Clear the path for you guys!

And look at that,
completely unaffected.

Looks like the Country King
is finally

getting his powers back.

(gasps)

(screams)

Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!

(sighs)

What happened back there?

I thought you were immune
to poison oak.

I am! Or I was.

Maybe nature's playing
a practical joke on me

to welcome me back.

Good one, guys!

You can stop prankin'
your old pal Cricket now!

Fret not, Brother.

You'll get
the hang of things soon.

We're gonna get through this.

Now, onward!

(clattering, clanking)

Oh, yeah.

That's bloody hot now.

And another one off the list.

Okay, I didn't expect
so many problems,

but there's still time
to fix everything

and catch one of those
classic country sunsets.

(ticking, creaking)

(clatters)

Hmm. I'll just have
to start multi-tasking.

NANCY: All right, break time!

Who's ready to relax--
good gravy!

Multi-tasking was a bad idea!

(grunts)

(both sighs)

Thanks, Nancy.
Okay, back to work!

You know what, Bill?

I spotted a problem that
really needs your attention.

The deck's fine, Bill.

Problem's right here.

Swing's missing a keister.

Leave it. Look at me.

That's right,
look at your swing!

So comfy.

This butt print's
got your name on it.

Literally.

- Hmm.
- See?

Yes.

I do see the problem now.

Uh-huh.

The paint is chipping.

- Uh-uh.
- And these ropes are frayed.

No.

I'm gonna have to take apart
the whole thing to fix this!

Nancy, wait!
Let's be mature about this!

NANCY:
It's for your own good, Bill!

(screams)

We're pretty deep in the woods.

Are we getting close?

I think so.

But perhaps we should ask
for directions.

- Hmm?
- Patricia?

Oh, well, aren't you
a sight for sore eyes?

We have been wanderin'
in circles,

and I was wonderin'
if you could guide us.

(talking gibberish)

So if you wouldn't mind
showin' us

the way to the fort--oh!

Patricia must be leadin' us
out of here!

Hold on!

Slow down, Patricia--uh.

(growling)

(screaming)

Now, now, nothin' to fear.

Me and these animals
have a deep, unspoken bond.

They just need
to remember me is all.

And I know just the ditty.

Hello, everyone.

Glad to see you're doin' well.

Now I know it's been a while
since I sung this one.

But I'm sure
y'all remember it well.

On a summer's day ♪

(growling)

Okay, time to go!

Oh my gosh,
oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

(screams)

(coughing)

They didn't remember me.
Not one of them.

You think?

Uh, guys. Where are we?

(ominous music playing)

Uh, not totally sure, buddy.

- I think we might be--
- Don't say it.

- Cricket Green is not--
- We're lost!

CRICKET: Oh, I told you
not to say it!

Oh, no, no, no, no!

This can't be happening.

Me? Lost?

But I'm the Country King!

I too am shocked
by our predicament.

It's okay, people get lost
in the woods sometimes.

Not us!
We grew up in these woods!

Tilly was literally born
out here.

Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.

This whole day
doesn't make sense.

Nature kicked my hind-er.

The animals don't know
Tilly anymore.

We got lost trying
to find our old fort

and now to survive I'm gonna
have to eat my best friend!

What?

Okay, if we're gonna live
out here,

we need to establish
a base camp and a poop hole.

Wait a minute.
Don't those look familiar?

The forest madness
is already setting in!

He's forgetting what leaves are!

No, look.
It was in the brochure.

Those are sycamore leaves.

That's the kind of tree
you built your fort in, right?

You're right.

I bet we can follow
these straight to the fort!

- Come on!
- Remy, you're a genius!

Glad I didn't have to eat you.

You were serious?

(grunts) Maybe I should feel bad
about locking Bill outside.

Nah. He needs to learn
take a breather.

Hopefully he's worn
himself out by now.

(electricity crackles)

This place is pretty beat up.

Nothin' that can't be fixed
tomorrow, though.

(swing squeaking)

- Where'd he--
-(glass breaks)

Bill? Huh?

He broke in!

What?

(hammering)

He broke in and fixed it?

Bill, why do you have
to fix everything right now?

Can't you do
some of it tomorrow?

(growls)

Jeez-o-pete!
He's out of control!

Does any of this
look right to you two?

I believe so.

The trees do seem familiar here.

Hey, Tilly, look!

It's Bouldy!

Good old Bouldy.

And there's that stump
that looks like Gramma!

(laughs) I love this thing.

That means the fort's gotta be
on the other side of the hill!

Oh, finally.

I can't wait to see your fort
in all its glory!

Oh. False alarm.

Looks like someone
just left a bunch

of old junk in the woods.

No. That's...

- CRICKET: Our fort.
-(wind blowing)

(dramatic music playing)

(sighs)

(twigs snap)

(dramatic music playing)

(sighs) I guess it makes sense.

This whole day's
been a rotten mess.

Why would our fort
be any different?

Nothin' around here
is the same anymore.

- Bill, you're freakin' me out.
-(ominous music playing)

You gotta stop this.

You can't fix everything
all at once!

BILL: No, Nancy. I can't stop.

Not when I'm so close.

I just have to fix the wiring,
clean out the gutters,

and then I only have
437 left to go!

If I can't stop you,
I can at least take your tools!

But I need my tools.

I can't fix without them!

-(screams)
-(Billy chuckle)

I'm gonna fix everything
in this house!

And nobody's gonna stop me! Huh?

(clattering)

Oh.

Ooh! What? Oh!

(dramatic music playing)

(electricity crackles)

You, uh--you okay, Bill?

I always imagined the moment
I stepped through this door,

all my problems would be solved.

But--guh!

Is that why you tried to fix
everything all at once?

Yeah. But no matter
how hard I try,

there's just always
problem after problem.

It's just--it's just...

It's just so overwhelming.

I don't know
what we're gonna do, Tilly.

Me neither.

(Remy grunts)

Remy, what are ya doin'?

Get down from there,

you're gonna break
your dang leg.

Oh!

The view from the top
still looks pretty good.

And a lot of this wood
still seems okay.

Why don't we just rebuild it?

Because it ain't
just about the fort.

Everything we loved about
the country has changed.

Just feels like--

feels like this ain't
our home anymore.

Well, here's the thing.

You haven't really
been back that long.

And things don't just stay
the same once you leave home.

So of course it's gonna be
a little weird coming back.

Maybe the yard's overgrown,
or the neighbors are different,

or the animals feel
less friendly than before.

Maybe it's not just the country
that's changed.

Maybe you've changed a bit too.

And that's okay,

even if everything's
not perfect right away.

I know it'll get better.

Cricket, there's no doubt
in my mind

you can be
the Country King again.

And Tilly, you can
re-forge your friendship

with the woodland animals.

And I can be the Lord of Oak.

Which is a name I am trying out
for myself.

It won't happen right away,
but I promise,

if you give it time,
and remember

what you loved about the country
in the first place,

you'll feel at home again soon.

So whaddya say?
Wanna fix this fort?

BOTH: Yeah!

(country music playing)

BILL: Now this is
what I remember.

Thanks for everything, Nancy.

I promise I'll relax

and take it slow
with the fixin'.

That's great, Bill.

'Cause if ya don't,
I'm gonna fix you.

(whirring)

(laughs nervously) Oh, look!

It's the kids!

Hey, y'all!
Dinner's almost ready.

Come sit with us for a sec.

I call Dad's seat!

Cricket, no,
I'm holdin' a... (laughs)

Y'all look like ya had fun.

We sure did.

(all sigh)

(phone ringing)

CRICKET: Hey, look! It's Gramma.

Nyah!

CRICKET: Gramma, move further
from the camera.

What?

Quit small talkin', boy.
How's the country?

Is it just like you remember?

Uh, not exactly.

But that's okay.
We'll get there.

Darn right we will!

Even if today
was a little bumpy,

it sure is great to be home.
