[light theme playing]
Hello? Family, it's dinner time!
Khao soi Saturday, ever heard of it?
[groans]
Where is everybody?
- [game music playing] - Huh?
Oh, here you are, you animals!
You know, my stomach's so hungry, it's eating itself?
- [grumbles] - New game.
Can't talk. Time meaningless.
What game could possibly be so entrancing
that you forgot about the most important meal of the day,
- tied with all the other ones? - Whoo! Scratch!
I cannot wait to introduce you to the game
that's gonna change your whole afterlife... "Smile Valley Farm"!
The goal is to create a happy, jolly farm.
So you till the fields, plant crops,
and then harvest them to sell at the farmers market.
This game is so wholesome. It's like a hug,
- that you can play! - [Dad] Yeah!
I'm not a video game guy, but even I'm obsessed.
I've got the lushest garden ever, which is no shock,
considering my real-life green thumb.
- Oh, geez! - What did you do?
- Go to the doctor! - [chuckles]
Yeah, I don't know. I don't really think about it,
as long as I'm playing this cute, all-engrossing game.
[gasps] Andrea just left me a golden grape!
Whoo-hoo-hoo, I'm gonna make a fortune at the market.
A game about manual labor? Nope. Hard pass.
Scratch! You would definitely love this game!
Look, here. I'll get you started with an avatar.
I'll even make it look like you! See?
Well, I can't make it a ghost.
[Scratch] Doesn't look anything like--
[Molly] But, I can give it this jaunty little hat...
- [Scratch] No, Molly! - [Molly] ...and these jaunty overalls.
- All the clothing is pretty jaunty. - You understand,
that no amount of clothing you're gonna put on that thing
- is gonna get me to play? - Okay...
But you're only depriving yourself!
Ugh. Getting real singsongy.
Say, Mom, everybody loves this game, right?
[chuckles] The only thing people love more is...
These adorable Smile Valley Farm blind box mini-figs!
Oh, I love Farmer Carrot! Gimme!
Uh-uh-uh! One is great,
but isn't more... more?
Yes. Yes, it is.
They're selling these mini-figs at Bizmart.
Now, if we scoop up all the high value mini-figs before everyone else,
we can flip them for huge casheesh!
Seems like you're roping me into some kind of scheme.
Mmm, we can make enough money to send me to college.
[gasps] You're gonna go to college?
I might, if I was a mini-fig millionaire.
- Going to Bizmart, bye! - Good luck.
These are all worth something, but the chase figures are the real prize.
Ugh, stupid blind boxes!
Carrot. Rutabaga. Carrot.
[chuckles]
Sally Strawberry? The mother lode!
- How'd you do that? - Let's just say,
you didn't get your scheming skills from Dad.
Now hand me more boxes.
[Scratch groans]
I'm starving!
This is what happens when I fend for myself for dinner!
[game music playing]
Can't even be bothered to turn this stupid thing off!
Respect the energy crisis, people!
- Ah... - [game chimes]
Stop wiggling at me. It's annoying.
[rooster crows]
Take that, topaz turnip!
I knew this game was boring.
[game chimes]
Or maybe I'll just play a little
so I can rag on it with specificity.
Rake's got a little face on it, though.
[crickets chirping]
[birds chirping]
[gasps] This is the greatest game ever.
Henceforth, my afterlife will be divided into two parts:
pre-Smile Valley Farm, and post-Smile Valley Farm.
[Dad and Molly] "Smile Valley Farm"!
They're awake! Hide the evidence!
Oh, why did I make such a big deal about refusing to try this game?
Now, I can't play, because if they find out I love it,
I'll never hear the end of it!
[high-pitched] Well, you could always try plan B!
[gasps] There's a plan B? What's plan B?
Tell me what plan B is!
You spend the rest of your afterlife
playing in secret.
That plan's perfect! It could never, ever go wrong.
Oh, Plan B, you're so wise.
I know. Agh!
Hello, McGees!
Hmm. Not a single morning pleasantry?
Right, back to your stupefying game,
which is, like, 90% waiting around.
Eight hours to grow a ruby rutabaga? Who's got the time?
But how'd you know about the ruby rutabaga?
How did I... Yes, well, you know what?
I heard Pete talking about it in his sleep last night.
I watch him sleep sometimes.
And he is a sleep talker!
- What else have you heard me say? - Oh, you know, lot of things.
Well, you McGees have fun rotting your brains.
I'm off to be a productive member of society.
[high-pitched] They bought it. Now, we can play all we want.
- Ow! - Ah, sorry.
[Darryl] A sentimental favorite for Smile Valley Farmers,
Sally Strawberry is a first-edition chaser.
Chance of finding one is one in 500,
exclamation point.
We'll start the bidding at $50.
[bell chiming]
[cash register dings]
Ooh, baby! Yeah! Just two more blooms
until I get that blue diamond beet.
- Then I can buy a fence. - [Molly] Scratch?
Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I'm just doing some ghost stuff.
Definitely nothing farm-game related,
or, you know what, even farm-game adjacent.
What about you? How are you doing?
- Uh, I didn't ask-- - Just answer the question, Molly!
Yeah, I'm okay! But what you said about staring into our screens,
it kinda cut me deep, so I've decided,
I've neglected our friendship, and I wanna make it up to you by...
[imitates drumroll] ...spending all day together!
All day? Our crops are gonna wither and die.
We'll miss out on the Sundown Shine Surprise!
Sundown Shine... [groans]

Uh, what now?
Ow!
[crunches] Mm-hmm.
This is so much money!
- I can't believe it's real. - Oh, forget higher education.
I got something way better to spend my casheesh on.
[stylish theme playing]
Wow. He bought all that from selling mini-figs?
Yeah, but he cashed out early.
I could triple what he made.
I could make enough to pay off all our debts,
maybe even take a beach vacation!
- Can you imagine? - I can, and I am.
I'm seeing us at Lake Mewline.
No, go big! Fiji, Bali!
A private island only rich people know about.
Rich people? I wanna be rich people!
You're playing with fire, Mom. Cash out like I did.
These trends can turn real quick.
Cash out? When a new wave of mini-figs just hit the shelves?
- Pfft, no way. - [Dad screams]
Huh, being the responsible one feels weird.
Whatever. Whoo!
So, sundown is upon us.
Uh, probably means that Sundown Shine Surprise,
or you know, whatever it's called, is about to drop, huh?
If you wanted to check out your little game, I wouldn't care.
Oh, that's nice of you, Scratch, but your friendship
is way more important to me than the Sundown Shine Surprise.
[feigned chuckle] Although, it is the best part
of the game, to be honest.
- Is it? - Oh, yeah.
It's definitely the biggest part of the game.
It's like, wow, if I miss it,
my farm's just never gonna feel complete, you know?
And I mean, it only comes once a week,
but then it's different every time,
and everyone on the forums have been saying
this one's very, very good.
So, it'll be a big thing to miss, but that's okay.
Hey, listen to me, and listen good.
If we miss that Sundown Shine Surprise,
I will freak out, do you hear me?
Freak! Out!
[game chimes]
- [gasps] - [vibrates]
- Don't miss it! - Argh!
- I've got a face! - Whoa!
[maniacal laughter]
Sun is getting low, Scratch!
It would be a shame to miss the Sundown Shine Surprise!
[screams] I can't take it anymore!
I love "Smile Valley Farm"!
You were right. Everyone was right!
The game is magic.
Aw, Scratch. I knew you've been playing all along.
- How? I was so sneaky. - Oh, really?
You sent me a request from Definitely Not Scratch,
to build a magical corn bridge between our farms.
What? That's impossible.
I sent that to N H4P-- Oh...
- Do you see it? - Yeah, I got it. Okay.
Yeah, when you say it out loud, it goes...
- Yeah... en-happifier. - En-happifier!
- I was proud of that one. - All right.
But why would you keep me from playing the greatest game ever?
I just wanted you to admit you loved it! Honestly,
I thought it'd take you five minutes, not five hours.
You are so stubborn, mister!
You're like a Peter Parsnip that doesn't wanna get plucked.
- Those are the worst. Molly! - I know, right?
We still have time to claim the Sundown Shine Surprise!
Oh, corn, you're right.
Look at it...
Those rays, so nourishing!
[sobbing]
Don't do it, 'cause if you cry, I'm gonna cry.
Scratch, I'm sorry. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say,
this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Now that we got that, I sort of feel like...
- [blows lips] ...it's over. - Yeah, it does.
I used to be like, "Smile Valley, whoo!"
But now, I'm kinda like, "Smile Valley, who?"
Right? It was fun while it lasted.
Hey, you wanna go outside and breathe some, I don't know,
- fresh air or something? - Yeah! We could kick a ball,
- or look at a tree or something. - Great. I don't have legs,
so I can't do the kicking part, but we can throw it or toss it.
That won't affect my sales, right?
It's just the two of them, right?
- [whimpers] - Right?
Remember Tabitha Turnip? Don't you wanna buy her?
Or Callie Cucumber! Rudy Rutabaga?
Please, someone buy them!
