(chicken clucks)
All right, I'm all packed.
You sure that's all gonna fit?
Of course. I'm very low-maintenance.
Just got to squeeze in the air mattress.
(air wheezes)
(chuckles)
Hmm, let me help you out there.
I can't believe y'all are leaving already.
I'll miss you, sweetie.
But it's time for me to go home to Big City.
Gloria's been texting me nonstop about some legal café junk.
Girl's strung tighter than a banjo.
Apparently she needs me back at the café to sign some paperwork.
I don't think she can handle it alone.
Don't tell her I said that.
(grunting)
Okay, all packed.
Actually, there's one more thing.
- Remy's very own dirt jar. - (gasps)
So you'll always have a little bit
of Green Family Farms with you.
Oh, Cricket! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- Aw. - Ain't that sweet.
Better put it in your suitcase for safekeeping.
Cricket, no--
Jeez, Dad. How'd you pack this thing?
- Hey, you two leaving already? - Just about.
Mr. Green is taking me and Mrs. Gramma Green
back to Big City.
Vasquez has been planning
a big welcome-home dinner for me tonight.
That's great. Uh, Alice, where's your suitcase?
I got everything I need right here.
(rattles)
- (grunting) - And in those bags. Thanks, son.
Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye.
Jeez, feels like we all just got here.
And now Mom and Remy are leaving.
This country house isn't gonna be quite the same.
I knew you all would have to go back to Big City eventually,
but now that the day's actually here,
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye just yet.
Yeah, me too.
I just wish we had a few more hours together.
Hey, Bill,
why don't you give the kids more time with one another?
Bring them with you while you drop Alice and Remy off.
Oh, that's a great idea.
We could hit the farmer's market while we're there,
since we got all that extra produce.
- Yeah! - Wonderful!
Great idea, Mom!
Plus we'll get to check in
on ol' Big City.
I want to make sure all my footprints and butt-prints
I left in the cement are still there.
Sounds good, as long as I'm back in time for my welcome-home dinner.
And I don't care how I get home,
as long as I'm back for Gloria's...
whatever.
Well, then let's get going.
The Greens are going back to Big City!
Aah!
I'll be the first to admit, that one was on me.
REMY: Bye, Miss Debbie.
Bye, Miss Debbie, Jr. Mwah.
BILL: Okay, kids, you ready to go?
Coming!
(all giggle)
Well, Alice,
I'll see you around.
Come here, you.
Mm!
Mama, you don't want to come visit the city too?
The only thing I ever liked about going to Big City
was visiting you guys.
And since y'all live here in the country now,
I don't miss a thing.
But y'all have fun on your trip, all right?
(laughs) We'll try.
- (ignition starts) - Okay, family...
- (clears throat) - And, uh, Remy.
Remy, I think of you as another s--
It's fine, let's go, Mr. Green.
(whistling)
(both snoring)
- ♪ 99 bottles of-- ♪ - We're not doing that.
(gasps) Kids! Wake up, wake up, wake up!
- Dad! Dad! We're up! - Look ahead.
(Tilly, gasping) We made it!
ALL: Wow!
- Look at that. - Dad, there's our exit!
The same one we took on our first visit to Big City.
BILL: Cricket, I know the way.
Get your hands off the steering wheel.
(Cricket, chuckling) Sorry, Dad.
- (whistle blowing) - (car horns blurting)
Boy, this place hasn't changed a bit since we left.
Pollution and pop-up shops as far as the eye can see.
Man, I can't believe we used to live here.
BOTH: Wow!
TILLY: It's a hundred times bigger
than I remember.
(gasps) I'm getting déjà vu
in the best kind of way.
How come I'm not getting déjà vu?
We weren't here the first time they did this.
(laughing)
Ooh! A biker. Tough guy.
Now, where to park? Ooh!
Commercial loading zone with a purple curb
and a cracked meter means it's free for two hours.
Just got to park and...
(buzzing)
(gasps) Sir!
That was incredible!
I'm writing you a reverse parking ticket.
Here's $20.
(laughs) Oh. Thanks.
I used to park here a lot.
All right, family, we've only got one quick pit stop
at the Big City farmer's market to sell this produce.
Then we're dropping off Remy and Gramma and heading...
home.
(amazed chatter)
(chuckling nervously) Okay, let's keep moving.
Now this is a real trip down memory lane.
The Big City farmer's market.
Wow, feels like just yesterday
I exploded a bath bomb out my pants.
(laughs) Right over there.
Aw, memories are fun.
BILL: We've only got a few hours to sell all this
before Gramma and Remy need to get home,
so let's get up and get selling.
- KEYS: Green family? - (all gasp)
ALL: Officer Keys!
I can't believe it!
Happy day!
Oh, this city's been so boring without your weekly high jinks.
I had to get one of those anime haircuts
to keep my life from getting too dull.
Neat.
We'd love to catch up with you again,
but we better get selling.
Our family's been away so long,
I'm worried that everyone's forgotten us.
Well, fret not, Mr. Green.
From the moment I confirmed it was you,
I set off the Green Family alert to everyone in my group chat.
- The what? - GRIGORIAN: Green family!
Hey!
- Good to see you! - TILLY: Hello, everyone!
It's emotional to see you again, Greens!
Hey, hey, what's up, y'all?
Oh, my gosh. It's Weezie, Benny, and Kiki.
Oh, man, Weezie.
Can you give us one of your classic Weezie lines?
Oh, I don't do that anymore.
- Aw. - Aw.
Just kidding. You know I always be ribbin'.
- Let's go! - ALL: Oh!
Oh, man. He's still got it.
Hmm?
(gasps) Gabriella! I miss you so--
- (electricity crackles) - (screams)
(laughs) I missed you too.
Now come on, let's go find some people to zap.
What a woman.
- Is that Bill Green I see? - Huh?
Doug Perkins?
I'm so happy to see you, buddy.
Well, I'm not happy to see you.
- What? - I'm thrilled!
(both laugh)
BILL: I was gonna cry.
Excuse me,
I'm with an agency in Big City
seeking fresh dandelions for top secret purposes,
and we've confirmed your stand has--
TILLY: Andromeda!
Hey, how'd you see through my perfect disguise?
I always know when it's you.
Hey, it's your old neighbor, Brett.
Hey, Brett.
I'm more of a background character,
but it's good to see you, Greens.
Uh, good to see you too, fella.
I'm Fabian the puzzle master.
Remember me?
Not even a little, but good to see you.
(excited chatter)
MAN: Hey, Fabian, show us a trick.
Thanks for coming by.
Have a good one.
Whew! Well, that's the last of it.
I can't believe how fast the day went.
I don't know if we've ever sold out that quickly.
Looks like Big City hasn't forgotten the Greens.
They'd have a hard time forgetting
after all the trouble we've caused.
Probably about time for us to head home now.
Yeah. It just hit 4:00.
Pfft, 4:00. That's still a whole two hours we got together.
I'm riding high from nostalgia.
Seeing all our old friends makes me want to revisit
more of Big City.
I don't know about that.
Gloria's expecting me back to sign those papers.
And I should get to my welcome-home dinner
before Vasquez gets worried.
Oh, come on. The kids want to see the city.
How can you say no to these cute faces?
(Bill cooing)
Well, I suppose.
As long as we're back before six.
Yeah, we've got some time.
I'm sure Vasquez won't mind.
Master Remy is almost home from his trip.
(squeals)
With dinner prepared,
all that' left to do is sit and wait.
(giggles)
(Gloria grunts)
Well, Alice is going to be home soon,
and I got to get this place into shape.
Couch, it's been fun.
But let's not forget all the good times we've had
when it was just the two of us.
Peaceful evenings, catching up on the news.
TV ANNOUNCER: We now return to Hot Dog Fails.
WOMAN (on TV): There's simply too much mustard on this.
GLORIA: Our afternoon yoga ritual.
(scoffs) I can do that.
- (bones crack) - (screams)
Arm doesn't move that way!
GLORIA: Those long nights of introspection.
(muffled shriek)
- Huh. I need to get out more. - (knock on door)
Gloria Sato, I presume?
I'm Merv Stampington, here to--
Oh, jeez. Oh, great.
I'm here to notarize your café permit.
Oh. You're here early.
Uh, my business partner isn't here yet,
but I suppose I could just sign the papers myself.
No, no, no, no.
Both parties must be present before signing.
Unless you want to re-file all those under sole ownership?
I...do not.
Well, thanks for coming by...
That's just my stamp hand.
Forty years in the notary game will do that to you.
Luckily, you're my last appointment before I retire.
Oh. Congratulations.
Ah, there's nothing to congratulate.
I've been stamping paperwork for four miserable decades.
The second it hits 6:00, I'm going straight to Cancun
to live out the rest of my days
before my fluttery little heart catches up to me.
Uh-huh. Well, my business partner, Miss Green,
should be here soon.
Why don't you come in while we're waiting?
Just watch out for the bags of--
- (loud crash) - MERV: Ah! Oh, blort.
All right, y'all.
Just a quick tour down memory lane,
and we'll be on our way.
After all, we can't leave without stopping by
one or two of our favorite places.
ALL: Cheese!
- Come back! Over here! - I got it!
- Whoa! - Ha! Never gets old.
Dig in.
(all chomping)
(camera shutters clicking)
- ALL: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - (elevator dinging)
This is fun. This is fun!
♪ 'Cause it's fun, fun, fun Fun, fun, fun, fun ♪
Can we please go already?
But we haven't done the sad acoustic version yet.
What?
(somberly) ♪ Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun ♪
♪ Fun, fun, fun... ♪
(both groan)
Looks like we're stuck in a real Big City traffic jam.
- What a delight. - Ha!
That's a weird way to give a thumbs-up.
Uh, guys, Vasquez just used an exclamation point
for the first time ever.
He must be anxious about me getting back on time.
Yeah, come on, y'all. It's been a very special day.
But now it's over, so just take us home!
Oh, come on. We still got time.
We still haven't seen the, uh...
community center.
Yay.
Yes, we have. Twice.
What about the good ol' Big City dump?
For some reason, we went there too.
- (cell phone vibrates) - Gloria's blowing up my phone.
I think I got to take this.
Hello, Gloria?
Yeah, hold your horses.
I'll be there before six to sign it.
Bill and them are gonna finally drop us off,
then they're heading right back to the country.
Yeah, no, they got a long drive ahead.
Not sure how long it'll be before we see them again.
- (vibrating) - Could be a while.
Heh. I know, it is sad.
Okay! You know what?
Let's forget these pesky phones.
- Hey! - Hey!
(Gloria, on phone) Hello?
Alice?
She'll be here soon.
Gloria's boring. Just chat with us while we take you home.
Live in the moment.
Yeah, if this is our last bit of time together,
we just want y'all to remember it with us.
All right, fine.
But only because y'all seem genuine with your intentions.
- (all chuckling nervously) - Yeah. Totally.
TILLY: Let's go look at billboards.
(vibrating and ringing)
No word from Remy yet?
He must be running a little late.
Let us know when he gets here, Vasquez.
The Greens should've returned Remy by now.
I'm needed.
(growls)
Vasquez!
I will scour this entire city until he's found.
It's time for Master Remy to come home.
(ticking)
(sniffles)
Wow, I never realized our clock was so...
loud and ticky.
Is my life a joke to you?
No, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
Your business partner better get here soon,
because when that clock turns to six,
my retirement begins.
And you'll have to start this process all over again.
No! I spent months getting this appointment set up.
Please, just hang tight. I'm sure she's on her way.
Right... now.
- (knock on door) - See? There she is.
Alice, thank goodness you're ba...
Oh, wow, you are not Alice.
Master Remy has gone dark.
Tell me where he is.
Wait, Remy? I haven't seen him.
He must still be out with the Greens.
Which means he's also with Alice.
Okay, let's go.
If they won't come to us, we're going to them.
- You're coming too. - Whoa!
Wow, this might be my favorite stop of our tour yet.
Who would've thought Big City even had a billboard district?
See? Isn't this great, guys?
Well, onto the next one.
Oh.
Well, family, what should we see next?
Oh, no!
No more stops, no more activities.
It's been a long day,
and we don't have time for any more shenanigans.
Yeah, guys, I think it's time to wrap this up.
I mean, just look at the time.
Vasquez must be worried sick.
What? What are you talking about?
There's so much we can do in five minutes.
Yeah, like, uh--
ALICE: Baloney!
If you're not gonna take us back,
then we can just start walking home.
Now, I love y'all, but Gramma's gotta bounce.
- (doors locks clunk) - What the--? Bill?
BILL: I'm sorry, you two.
Our Big City tour is just beginning!
Mr. Green, what are you--? Aah!
This isn't the way home. Where are you taking us?
Anywhere. Everywhere! Huh?
(growling)
Oh, not today.
(tires squeal)
"One last job," my boss said.
"It'll be an easy one," my boss said.
I should be playing shuffleboard in Cancun!
BILL: And on your right, you'll see a Big City bus.
And look, everyone, a purple car!
(cackles)
Whoa! What in tarnation do you think you're doing?
Oh, we're just trying to squeeze in a few more sights
while we're still all together.
Right, kids?
Oh, you bet, Papa.
Isn't this fun, Remy?
Isn't this fun?
(groaning and crying)
TILLY: Look, y'all. Pretty red lights.
Ah, nothing like Big City traffic.
Ooh, and is that a new road?
Well, we have to check it out.
You never know what you might find--
Look out!
(all scream)
BILL: And here's the Big City River.
And that's a fire hydrant.
- Ah! - Get out! Out, out, out!
Oh, can't seem to find any parking.
Ooh, money. Whoa!
Gall darn it, we can't see the sights with all these magazines.
That's better.
Oh, look at that beautiful wall.
(brakes squeal)
(Vasquez, over bullhorn) Return Master Remy, or else...
his dinner will get cold.
Well, would you look at that, kids.
A helicopter.
This trip just keeps getting better and better.
(tires squeal)
(groaning)
Huh? Is that Vasquez?
- No, no, no! - No, no, no!
That's just some guy pretending to be Vasquez.
I'm getting out of here. You guys are crazy.
- Freedom! - Oh, no, you don't.
It's not 6:00 p.m. yet.
(gasps)
You. Fly the helicopter.
B-b-but I'm a notary, not a pilot.
It's fine. It's just a helicopter.
Up is down and down is up.
Avoid the buildings.
(beeping)
(groaning) Oh, no.
Follow that truck. Uh, is that a grenade launcher?
Don't worry. I'm shooting smoke bombs.
Perfectly normal and safe.
Come to Papa, my sweet baby Remy boy.
ALL: Whoa!
(all panting)
- Huh? - Huh?
Oh. It's our old house.
How'd we get here?
I must have been on autopilot.
- Hey, Ma, where--? - Aah! Get me out of here!
(panting)
- Mwah! Mwah! - (groaning)
- (helicopter hovering) - BOTH: Huh?
Master Remy!
(sobbing) Oh, Remy!
Oh, Vasquez. I feel the same way.
I hope I'm not too late for dinner.
Oh, never.
- Oh! - (both sobbing)
MERV: Miss Sato, you've got 15 seconds
and I'm out of here.
Fourteen, thirteen...
- Well, come on. - Whoa!
- ...nine, eight... - (grunting)
Hey, what are you--? Aah!
- Get a move on. - ...six, five...
- Sign this! - All right, all right.
MERV: ...three...
- Here. Stamp it. - ...two, one.
- (watch beeps) - (gasps)
Six o'clock! Yes!
Wah-ha!
Cancun, here I come!
Happy retirement.
(chuckles)
I can finally sell cheese.
Well, since we're here, we might as well pop in for a couple--
Oh, no, you don't.
- No, wait... - Just a sec.
Zip it!
Look, y'all can visit whenever you want.
But right now, you need to sort yourselves out.
You've been acting like maniacs all day.
Maniacs?
(laughs) I don't know about that.
We saw some sights,
and then we dropped you and Remy off.
Just like we planned.
I don't want to hear it.
It's been a long day,
and it's time for y'all to go home!
- ALL: Mm-hmm. - Sure, sure.
Well, if you're all settled now, I guess we'll be on our way.
Back home.
To the country.
Our home.
(truck engine starts)
Bye! Thanks for everything!
- What was that? - Nothing! Get!
- Aw. - Love y'all. Drive safe.
Hmm. Goodbye, Big City.
Yeah. Goodbye.
Hmm.
(crickets chirping)
Uh, Dad, why'd you stop the truck?
I didn't. Not sure what...
Oh.
Out of gas.
Probably should have filled up
after driving around the city all day.
(all chuckle nervously)
I'll call your mother.
Hmm?
Huh.
We're exactly halfway
between Big City and Smalton.
Fate has stranded us perfectly balanced between two worlds.
Hey, y'all.
Mama to the rescue.
So, how was Big City?
It sure was wonderful seeing all our friends again,
and it was fun being with Gramma and Remy.
But leaving felt tingly and complicated.
Yeah. Being back in Big City,
it almost felt like...
ALL: Being home.
I'm really happy we're living in the country again, but...
The lights. The sights. All of our friends.
I guess we're realizing just how much we miss Big City.
But that's crazy, right?
I mean, we're country folk. We belong in the country.
At least I thought we did.
Well, I know I'm meant to live in the country.
I miss the peace.
- And the stillness. - (wind gusting)
The open spaces and fresh air.
Oh, it's been amazing.
I feel as if I'm meant to live in the country.
But that's me.
What I'm hearing from y'all
is that maybe your home has changed.
Well, I love Big City, but I love the country too.
We're stuck in a conundrum, Mama.
There's no way for us to live in both places.
Maybe there is.
Maybe I am meant to live in the country.
To keep the farm running.
And if I did that,
y'all could move back to Big City
with your gramma.
- Say what, now? - Think about it.
We still have the country farm,
and you could still live in Big City.
Then you and the kids could go back and forth
whenever you wanted.
We'd actually get to live in both our homes?
Are you messing with us?
Please, I'm too vulnerable to be messed with!
I'm not messing. I mean--
Of course your father would have to be okay with it.
(both grunt)
Yeah, Nance, I'm okay with it.
Hmm. You big lug.
(truck engine starts)
(engine revs)
(squeals)
CRICKET: So, what does this make us?
BILL: What do you mean?
I mean, now that everything's working out,
we'll be able to have all sorts of adventures
in Big City and the country.
So, are we country folks in the city,
or city folks in the country?
Well, we're...
the Greens.
And all our problems are solved.
(all cheer)
CRICKET: Yeehaw!
(wind gusting)
GRAVEDIGGER: Good night, Winifred.
Good night, Brandon.
Night, Jolene.
Good night-- Oh!
Oh, no.
No night-nights for this one, Digsby.
Fella might just be the biggest jerk who ever died.
Had to be buried way out here,
because he was banned from Big City.
Was always picking on this one family.
Gave them nothing but trouble.
What were their names again?
The Groats?
The Grubs?
The Greens.
It was the Greens.
And their troubles are just beginning.
