Episode[]
Morning in the Greens' house.
Cricket is sleeping.
Wide awake!
The rooster prepares to wake everyone up.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! Today's the day!"
"Today's the day!"
"Today's the day!!"
He grabs Tilly.
Down she goes!
"Tilly, today's the day!"
She is not ready for the day.
"Five more minutes..."
"Dad, wake up!"
Bill is half asleep.
"Dad, today's the day!"
Bill scratches his head.
"Today's the day."
He pokes Phoenix's eye.
"Today's the day!!"
"Gramma. Today's the day."
She wasn't asleep.
"Heh-heh-heh!"
"What's goin' on, Cricket?"
A bowl of grits is placed on the table.
"I made y'all grits this mornin' as a celebration."
"'Cause today is the day..."
"I earn the Green family name!"
"Ho ho...right!"
"The old Green Family Rite of Passage."
"For generations..."
"Each member of our family has set off on a quest
to wrestle the TOUGHEST,
MEANEST animal around..."
"In order to truly earn the Green family name."
"As well as earn a place on..."
"The Green Family Triumph Quilt!"
"Each patch represents a Green defeating a vicious animal!"
"There's your sister taming a wild horse."
"Frederico was a good horse of great moral character."
"And here's your father as a child, taming a hawk."
"Ha! Nearly tore me in half."
Quite literally!
"Hey! Even Mom has a patch."
"Somewhere between the wedding and the honeymoon..."
"She wrestled a wolverine!"
"And now, it's my turn."
"I'm gonna wrestle the wildest animal this city's got!"
"Now, remember..."
"The rules state that you must pin an animal for the count of three before the sun sets."
"Do you have what it takes, boy?"
"Or are you all lip?"
"Get your sewin' fingers ready, Gramma."
"'Cause today, I'm becoming an official Green!"
He's fierce...
...he's relentless. He's...
...gone.
"Go git 'em, Cricket."
A few seconds of silence.
"More for Tilly."
Cricket has taken off his clothes!
"Cricket Green."
"Well, just Cricket until he earns his last name..."
"...is a world class animal wrangler..."
He scoops up some dirt.
"...and a master of camouflage-ication."
He makes an x shape across his face.
He coughs...
...and spits out some dirt.
That won't have been pleasant.
"Got dirt in my mouth."
Two customers eating at the café.
Cricket looks over from the fence.
"Cricket roams the city-side searching for the wild beast he is destined to defeat."
"Ah-ha!"
(OS) "I got you now!"
He starts munching on the slipper.
"My slippers!"
"Hey!"
"Realizing he's outmatched, Cricket makes his escape!"
She sprays water at Cricket.
"You... might wanna get a rabies shot."
A restaurant called Food Dragon.
Cricket is being pushed out by a store clerk.
"You can't hide him from me forever!"
"Nope. No, no."
"No, no, no, no, no, no."
Cricket's on his own.
"Oh, man."
"This rite of passage is pretty difficult in the city."
Gramma leaps out of the bush.
"Exactly!"
"Never let your guard down!"
"NEVER let your guard down!"
"Ooh..."
"Hey, Gramma, let's say I don't pin an animal by sundown."
"What happens then?"
"Well, then..."
"You wouldn't be a Green anymore."
"You'd have to change your name to something stupid."
"Like Hawking, or Einstein."
"But that ain't gonna happen, is it?"
"Ha! You kiddin' me?"
"I just gotta find new huntin' grounds."
"That's the attitude!"
"Now put your clothes back on. You look ridiculous."
A nice day at the park.
"A perfect place to find a vicious animal opponent."
"All right, kiddo, let's see what you've got!"
"Hmm, let's see here, a couple of baby birds, nah..."
"...swarm of ants, unh."
"Ah-ha!"
"Okay, Buttercup."
"Yum-yum time! It's time for yum-yums!"
"Get into your big horse tum-tums!"
"Here's your chance, boy."
"Strike while your prey is distracted."
"Ahh!"
"It's time for yum-yums."
He eats the biscuit.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
Cricket grabs ahold of Buttercup.
"Careful, child!"
"Buttercup spooks easily!"
The horse (Buttercup) is out of control!
"BUTTERCUP! REMEMBER YOUR TRAINING!"
He got outmatched by a horse in one second.
"What happened back there?"
"Just lost my grip. Silky mane."
"Well, hurry and find something else!"
He searches for something else.
He finds something, which is...
...a peaceful dog stood in a calm field.
"Uh, what about that vicious creature?"
The dog is playing calmly in the field. Not vicious at all!
"Are you kiddin' me?! Wild animals ain't on leashes!"
Looking for a plan B.
Here comes a squirrel.
"Aha!"
"You're mine, furry demon!"
"Hyaah!"
He tackles the squirrel.
"One, two, three!"
"Hah! I did it."
"I'm a Green."
"Right, Gramma?"
"Of course..."
"NOT!"
He gasps.
"Hey!!"
"You think pinning a squirrel is an..."
"'Accomplishment'?!"
"When I completed the Family Rite of Passage..."
"I fought a bear!"
"Bears are essentially real life monsters."
"Exactly!"
He releases the squirrel.
"I don't know if there's an animal in this city that'll work, Gramma."
"A true Green is cunning and clever."
"So figure something out!"
He thinks of an idea.
He gets just that.
"If cunning and clever is what Gramma wants..."
"...then that's what she'll get!"
Back to the Greens' house.
"Sing with me..."
"...Papa."
"Cuz it's fun, fun, fun."
"Fun, fun, fun. Yeah, OK, I'm gettin' it."
"Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun..."
They hear something.
Cricket is stood at the door, his hair down on his face and covered in ketchup.
"Hello..."
"Fellow Greens."
Looks like he found a better plan B.
"Cricket, what happened?!"
"Oh, nothin'."
"If you think fightin' a lion is nothin'."
Dramatic zoom in.
"A lion?!"
"Did you die?"
"It was crazy."
"A vicious lion escaped from the zoo..."
"...and was running down the street, bitin' chunks of people right off!"
"I knew destiny brought me and this lion together for a reason..."
"...to fight!"
"I jumped right at him..."
"...but he swiped at my face..."
"...so I threw him down..."
"...and I put him in a headlock!"
The loon's head breaks off.
"So, I suppose that wraps up my Family Rite of Passage."
"Oh, really?"
"I didn't hear any news about an escaped lion."
"Uh, you probably didn't hear about it..."
"...'cuz, uh..."
"...well, the police wanted to keep the whole thing quiet."
"That so?"
"What'd his breath smell like? How many claws did he have?"
"Uh, well, I--"
Gramma takes some ketchup from Cricket's face.
She licks it.
"Oh, jeez, Ma!"
"Oh, relax, Bill, it's just ketchup!"
"This boy had you tangled..."
"...In a twisted web of lies!"
"Alright..."
"...you caught me!"
"I've tried and tried..."
"...to complete this stupid Family Rite of Passage..."
"...and it's impossible!"
"I'm done!"
"Yer quittin'? Greens don't give up!"
"Then I guess I'm..."
"...NOT A GREEN!"
(Ouch...)
Bill and Tilly watch in horror.
"Fun, fun, fun, fun..."
No singing!
"Did I misread the room?"
Cat clock.
Cricket and Gramma feuding silently in the dining room.
Cricket growls.
Gramma growls.
Bill attempts to lighten the mood.
"So, uh, Cricket..."
Cricket's face is still angry.
"...would you like some green bean casserole?"
Gramma's hands reach in...
...and take the casserole away.
"This casserole is a family recipe..."
"...for Greens only!"
"What?"
"But green bean casserole's my favourite!"
"Don't worry."
"You can have all the canned corn you want."
He receives the canned corn.
"You serious?"
"Canned corn is the worst!"
"Come on, Ma, let the boy eat what he wants, huh?"
"Fine!"
"I'll just add it..."
"...to his room and board tab."
"I gotta pay rent now?"
"How the heck am I supposed to do that?"
"You'll just have to get a job."
"There's always more room in the coal mines."
"This is ridiculous!"
"I'm outta here!"
"Just 'cuz you didn't eat it..."
"...don't mean I won't charge you for it!"
Now it's just the three.
"More for Tilly."
"Stupid Gramma..."
"Stupid Green Rite of Passage..."
"If I'm not a Green..."
"Then what am I?"
He sits in sadness.
Bill: "Uh, Ma, why are you bein' so hard on the boy?"
"He's your grandson. Can't you be a little easier on him?"
"NO!"
"This is important, Bill."
"EVERY Green has done it!"
"What would my grandmother say..."
"...if a Green didn't go through the Rite of Passage?"
"She wrestled five boars!"
"Five boars!!"
"Pssh."
"Ten boars ain't as scary as you, Gramma."
He sits in sadness again, but...
Just then, Cricket realizes something...
"Wait a minute...!"
Gramma sits in her armchair.
Cricket slams open the door.
"ALICE DELORES GREEN!"
"Hmmph."
"I ain't got the time for a no-grit non-Green quitter!"
Cricket spins around her armchair.
"Listen!"
"I thought I couldn't do this because there weren't any ferocious animals in the city, but I was wrong!"
"The meanest, most vicious creature was right in front of me this whole time!"
"I challenge you to wrestle me for my Green Family Rite of Passage!"
She takes this in...
...then makes up her mind.
"Heh-heh."
"Well, all right."
"Congratulations on finding a worthy opponent."
"But you still gotta pin me by sundown!"
She cracks one joint...
...and another.
She's ready to fight!
She grabs an angel doll...
...and crushes it with her fist.
Cricket shakes his head.
"Bring it on, ya old boot!"
Cricket launches himself onto Gramma.
FIGHT!
They're both upside down.
Spider formation!
Cricket is dizzy...
...while Gramma is standing strong.
She runs towards Cricket...
...who looks back...
...and pulls the armchair lever.
RECLINER GUT WHACK!
Gramma's teeth pop out her mouth!
They fly through the air.
DENTURE HAIR BITE!
"Ah!"
"Blah!"
She's ready to catch them in her mouth.
They successfully land inside.
Back on track!
"Ugh!"
Cricket bounces off the recliner...
...and lands on the dresser.
He grabs a pin...
...and throws it.
Gramma runs to Cricket.
Fast and furious...
...even biting through one of the pins!
She's stronger than Cricket ought to have thought!
They crash through the boarded up window...
...and land on the front porch.
"Is that all you got?!?"
PINCH ATTACK!
"Aren't you just a cutie?"
She laughs.
"Huh?"
Turning up the dial.
HEARING AID EVASIVE MANEUVER!
HIGH FREQUENCY!
She can't take it!
She tries to recover...
...but falls!
"Got your wooden leg!"
She is standing on one foot.
"I could beat you with no limbs!"
Gramma shadows over Cricket...
...as she crashes into him...
...causing the pair to fly into the front yard.
"Ma!"
"Cricket!"
"Cricket!"
"Stop fightin'!"
"You don't have to do this!"
"I'll put you on the quilt myself!"
"DON'T GET INVOLVED!"
"I'm wrestlin' the toughest beast in the city!!!"
Gramma picks Cricket up.
SPIN ATTACK!
She throws him away!
That's gotta hurt!
"Cricket!"
He groans and pants.
Gramma puts back on her wooden leg.
"Had enough?"
"Cricket, you can't beat Gramma, and you know it! Just end this foolishness!"
"You're right, Dad."
"I can't beat Gramma..."
Bill's words give Cricket an idea...
"And I don't need to!"
"Huh?"
"All this time, I was trying to get on this quilt."
"'Cuz that's how things are done in this family."
But I don't care if you don't consider me a Green."
"'Cause I FEEL like a Green."
"I KNOW I'm a Green!"
She smiles at this speech.
"And that's something no one can ever take away from me!"
"Boy, I'm proud of ya."
"It takes real grit to stand up to family --"
DISTRACTED QUILT MANEUVER!
Gramma's covered under the quilt!
She scrambles to free herself.
"NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!!!"
He keeps her pinned.
"Are you crazy?!"
"Papa, start the count!"
"One!"
"Two!!"
"THREE!!!"
And then she realises.
"Admit it, Gramma! You're pinned!"
"Huh, I'm pinned."
"I knew you had it in you..."
"Cricket Green."
"Now git offa me!"
"I AM..."
"CRICKET GREEN!!!"
Congratulations, Cricket!
Cricket gets his picture sewed onto the quilt...
...and a kiss from Gramma.
"Aw, glad to see you two are gettin' along again."
"Yeah..."
"ROUND TWO!"
"Gramma!!"
Here we go again!
