Hey, guys, look what I found.
- [grunts] - Ah!
[Cricket laughing] Sorry.
[breathes deeply] Finally.
A moment of quiet so I can go over the Green Farm's finances.
Look, Dad. We built a fort.
- Hi, Mr. Green. - Hi, Papa. Want a tour?
It will literally take one second.
We have a house, and they build this garbage?
Looks great, kids. But I gotta go over the ledger.
Since we have a city farm and a country farm,
I'm guessing that our finances have never been better.
We're going bankrupt!
Ah, let me see that.
Bankrupt, my heinie.
It's just a small dip in profits.
Small for now. But this could become a trend.
What if there's a big dip in profits tomorrow?
Bill, a little upsy-downsy is normal for business.
- You're way too high-strung. - [cell phone vibrates]
I have no idea where you got that from.
It's Gloria.
"Can you come over and look a sumthig?"
There's an emergency at the café!
Hold on, Gloria! On my way!
[sighs] Upsy-downsy?
Ma doesn't know what she's talking about.
Things could get really bad.
[Tilly] Ow! This is really bad.
Tilly, are you okay?
My person is unscathed,
but my shoes are irreparably damaged.
Could you please buy me some new ones, Papa?
Ooh, while you're at it,
can I get another pair of overalls?
These are getting a tad breezy.
Agh! My kids have needs.
And if I can't provide for them...
Father, why have you forsaken us?
Alas, poor Saxon. I hardly knew thee.
[gasps] Saxon? No!
[car horn blares]
- Hey, Remy! - Well, this is me.
Hey, Dad.
Whoa! What is all this stuff?
I've been inspired to unburden.
So I'm taking some of this old junk
to the donation center downtown.
Wait a second, Russell.
This stuff doesn't look like junk to me.
Mind if I take it off your hands?
Sure. Be my guest.
Think fast.
Think faster.
Thanks, Greens!
Wow, look at all this.
There's some useful stuff in here.
Well, let's see. Uh...
Why don't you try this, Cricket?
Wow!
- Here you go, Tilly. - Ah.
What do you think?
- Perfect. - Things are looking up already.
It doesn't matter if the farm does well,
'cause your dad is a provider!
You're gonna need to provide me a belt.
I can do that.
[humming]
Ah! Gloria, I got your text! What's wrong?
[laughs] Everything's fine.
I just wanted you to watch this new reality show.
Another one? Fine.
But it's got 30 seconds to hook me.
Welcome back to Clutter Free with me,
Serenity Spruce.
Minimalism is the key to a happier life.
But you must be willing to let go of your possessions.
Take this sweater, for instance.
I love this sweater, but I do not wear it anymore.
And it's making such a mess, I want to scream.
[wheezy scream]
So, if I find the courage to get rid of it,
my life will be much happier.
Goodbye, my dear friend.
Now I am happy.
Oh, come on!
That's the biggest load of hogwash
I've seen in a lifetime on this Earth.
I used to joke that this was the biggest load of hogwash
I've seen in a lifetime on this earth.
- What? - But after Serenity
taught me how to declutter my house,
my stress is down, my back is fixed,
and best of all, my hair has grown back!
Whoo! Ha ha!
Wow. All that just from cleaning up your house?
Change of plans, Gloria.
I'm gonna learn from this weird lady and clear out my closet
so I can get my life back on track!
- Good luck, Gramma. - [Gramma] Not your Gramma!
Just trying it out.
Still can't believe it. What a haul.
It's just like they say,
one man's trash is another man's future security
that will help protect his family from hardship.
I remember that saying differently.
All this stuff is so cool.
We can build a way bigger fort now.
Are there any pipes in there for building a ladder?
Let me check. Hmm.
As it turns out, these three boxes don't contain
everything we'll need for the rest of our lives.
We're gonna need more stuff.
Uh, Papa, don't you think you're being a bit--
Fort.
Uh, I mean, you're right. More stuff.
Kids, get in the Kludge. We're gonna acquire everything
this family would ever need.
It's time to get thrifty.
- [door sensors chime] - Look, kids. Free lawn chairs.
Now you'll always have a place to sit.
- Whee! - Seating!
[Bill] Score! Six printers!
Now you can print six different things at once.
No more pen and ink for this guy.
Oh-ho-ho! Jackpot!.
Check it out, kids. With these mannequins,
you'll always have a companion by your side.
[both] Kinda scary.
Come one, come all.
Step right up, and drop your junk.
Be it broken or old, Bill Green will take it all.
- [both] Dad, Dad, Dad! - My children.
Are you two feeling provided for?
Dad, of all the many emotional crises you've had,
this one is by far the best.
Just look how much we've expanded the fort.
[Bill] Whoa! Nice fortifying, kids.
Whew. I am beat.
But, at the end of a long shift,
there is no greater pleasure I find
than keeping my eyes closed for as long as possible
to savor that first glance of home.
[growls]
Thank you, ma'am.
Uh, Mr. Green? Is everything okay?
Never better. Why do you ask?
Well, it's just that the house seems a little...
Well-provisioned?
No, it's full of junk.
And as a renter of the house, I demand a say.
Although, I technically don't pay rent.
Or pay bills.
Wait, does that make me a squatter?
Do I have any agency according to Big City housing law?
You seem so stressed.
Ooh, hang on, let me find my consoling finger.
I need to learn my rights!
Okay. Good luck, Gloria.
Remember, friends, to unburden your surroundings and yourself,
you must kindly thank your clutter
before releasing it to its next life.
Well, if that's what it takes.
Don't need this anymore.
Uh, thank you?
Have a good time in your next life?
Mwah. What next life?
You're a phone!
Ugh! This ain't me.
[Serenity] You might be saying, "This ain't me."
- Huh? - Just remember.
that everyone is a little different.
You can find your own way to say thank you.
Oh.
Stand to attention, clutter!
As your commanding officer,
I thank you for your service
and relieve you of duty.
Now, who's next?
Wahoo!
[Tilly] Whee!
Dad, why are all these whirly balls in our landing spot?
Because, Cricket, in the future,
what if I can't buy you plane tickets to travel the globe?
This way, you can still be worldly.
But I don't wanna be worldly.
I wanna be a simple boy who has enough space
to do destructive things indoors.
Cricket's right.
Your collecting has not only limited our fun,
it's also limited our access to the facilities.
[flushes]
And I quite need to use them.
Oh, that's not a problem, Tilly.
I think I got an extra toilet around here somewhere.
- I can hold it. - Dad, stop.
Don't you think you're taking this whole
"provide for our future" thing a bit too far?
I most certainly do not.
I might be running out of space to put stuff,
but we're gonna need it all.
A neon sign?
One of you might become a fishmonger someday
and change your name to Al.
Can't you see I'm doing this for you?
I just need more space to store our special treasures.
[Gloria] Um, Mr. Green? Can I talk to you?
Hmm.
Okay, I think this should be--
- Ah! - The basement. And Gloria.
I, uh... ahem.
Mr. Green, I have prepared a document
to clarify the terms of my tenancy.
Nonsense. You're more than a tenant, Gloria.
- You're family. - Aw.
That's so sweet.
And as family,
I must provide for your future.
And store stuff in your bedroom.
What just happened?
Chicken brooch, For your years of service,
I give you an honorable discharge.
And with your noble sacrifice, it is finished.
How 'bout that?
I feel happy as a pig in mud.
- Except cleaner. - [giggles]
Thanks to everything Serenity has taught me,
I'm ready to declutter the rest of my house!
What? What? What?
What, what, what, what, what, what, what?
Bill, what did you do to my house?
You've gone and made it a...
Hello, Mother.
As you can see,
I've filled up the house with precious goods.
Filled it all the way up to the sky!
Come on. Let me show you what I've done with the living room.
There's a laundry basket on your head.
[Bill grunts]
Getting in requires a bit
of a tuck and roll, but it's worth it.
Behold! The Green household is now a palace
of everything we could ever need.
I know. It's a little sparse.
Billiam Robert Green! You've gone plumb crazy, boy.
No, Ma. I have to be a provider.
Does this look safe to you? The roof's gonna collapse!
And where are the kids?
[Cricket] Gramma? Gramma, is that you?
Come get us out.
We're stuck under this junk
with nothing but six flashlights
and Tilly's famously good attitude.
- [Tilly] It's true. - [both] Kids!
Oh, dang it, Ma, you're completely right.
What have I been doing with all this stuff?
I've put the kids in danger.
We ain't got time for ruminating on regrets, boy.
We have to get 'em out before the dang ceiling collapses.
Hang on, kids. I'm coming.
Oh, there's too much stuff. I don't know where to start.
Step aside, Bill. I'll clear a path.
Serenity Spruce, grant me the power to declutter this mess.
[wheezing scream]
Junk of the Green household,
I hereby relieve you of duty!
[Cricket and Tilly] We're in here!
Kids! Papa's coming!
Hurry, Bill! This thing's coming down!
I'm going as fast as I-- Oh, that calendar's kinda nice.
No! Focus!
I think we're done with forts for a while.
Come here, kids.
I've let you down with all this stupid junk.
So I'd say it's time I lift you up.
[grunting]
Father...
strength!
Bill, the roof!
[all scream]
Mail's here.
- We're alive! - We're alive!
I'm so glad you kids are okay.
Here's your mail, folks. And I am off to the hospital.
- Ow, ow, ow. - He'll be fine.
Well, if our profits weren't down before,
they certainly are now.
I'm so sorry, y'all.
I don't know what came over me.
It just got tough feeling like I wasn't providing for my family.
It's okay, Papa. We know you're always trying.
And after you're done fixing my house,
there's a little reality show I think you'll find helpful.
Aww. Thanks, guys.
Man, what a stressful day. I could really use a laugh.
[Gloria groans]
You left me to crawl out of the house
using toilet plungers?
- Toilet plungers? - [all laugh]
[all] Oh, Gloria.
