[electric guitar riffing]
Dang it, Billy boy,
you're just too dang cute
for your own good.
Hey, Ma! How's work goin'?
I still got three fields to plow.
Why don't you go ahead
and get dinner started?
Oh, boy! Dinner duty!
-[panting]
-Heh. What a funny kid.
-[back cracks]
-Aah! Unh. I'm gettin' old.
Oh, hey, Ma! Just in time for dinner!
This looks delici
-[snoring]
-Gee.
Ma's really been pushing herself lately.
-[knocking on door]
-Who's it?
No trespassing!
Oh, it's just you, Quisling.
I almost ran ya through!
Wouldn't be the first time.
Probably wouldn't be the last.
Just tell me what you want, already.
You got more land than you can manage,
so I'd like to buy some.
What makes you think
I'm lookin' to sell my land?
-Wha--
-Well, word on the cornfield
is your last harvest didn't do so well.
And you can't afford
any farmhands this season.
I, on the other hand,
am looking to expand,
so this could be a good deal
for both of us, methinks.
This land's been in our family
for generations.
It's our legacy!
But that does sound
like a pretty good deal.
No!
[grunts] No!
Ma, you can't sell the farm!
Bill, I wouldn't be selling the farm.
Just downsizing it.
But I want to run this farm
when I'm all grown up!
And I want to run it
just like how my ma did.
Well, all right.
Thanks for the offer, Mr. Quisling,
but I'll be keeping the farm
just how it is!
-OK.
-Now get outta here!
-OK.
-Hey, Ma?
Is the farm really doing that bad?
Now, don't you worry about it.
Things'll turn around.
It's just ever since your dad passed,
I'm short on time, money, and--
I hate to admit it, but I need help.
But you've got help, Ma!
Why don't you let me
take some of the adult chores
off your shoulders? I'm ready!
Eh, you're a little young for it, but
all right, we'll try it out.
Oh, boy! Every kid's dream!
More responsibility!
[Bill] Cock-a-doodle-doo!
[Gramma] Bill, quiet!
[Bill] Sorry, I'm just excited!
OK, Billy boy,
the hay baler's already connected,
so just start 'er up like I showed ya!
Hands at 10 and 2
and skippity-doo-hoo-hoo!
-[engine running]
-Look, I'm doin' it, Ma! Are ya lookin'?
Yep, you're doin' great!
I'm finally helping out Ma
doing real farm chores!
And I bet I get to do even more chores
if I pick up the speed!
Whoo-hoo!
-Oh, yah!
-[clanging]
What the heck was-- [gasps]
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh, geez! Ma's never gonna let me
drive the tractor ever again!
It's fine, Bill. You can fix this.
And Ma never needs to know.
[grunting]
Ah. That thing's really stuck in there.
This looks like a job for a hand.
[straining, grunting]
Oh! Almost got it! Aah!
Are you out of your mind?
There was a rock, and I was trying to--
Do you know how badly
you could've been hurt?
How do you think I lost my leg?
I don't know, the story keeps changing!
Listen, Bill. The thing I need
even more than help
on this farm is for you to stay safe.
You are banned from working on this farm!
No more farm work?
Yes, ma'am.
[groans] That boy's
gonna lose a finger someday.
[munching loudly]
[sighs] Even the sweet taste
of this plain white bread
can't cheer me up.
I don't know what to do, Pop.
Ma can't run the farm on her own.
Wait a sec. I don't need to be
doing chores to help Ma.
I need to be makin' money!
[honking]
Hang in there, Ma!
Help's on the way!
Uh, can I help you?
I was hoping to help you.
I can do any odd job you've got.
-No thanks, kid. I'm a DIY-er.
-DIY?
It stands for "Do It Yourself,"
as in, I don't need any help,
especially from some kid.
Oh, well. I'll do better next time!
-Shine your shoes?
-No.
-Paint your fence?
-Scram!
Need any help?
Yes. I need so much help
I'm going to go now.
Drat. Back to squeezing
all these tomatoes by myself.
Gee, everyone in town
sure is self-reliant. Or scary!
But there's gotta be someone
who needs my help.
Hey. What do you want?
Did Stinky Jim send ya?
You workin' for Stinky Jim?
Uh no, sir.
The only Jim I know smells great.
I was hoping I could work for you!
Oh! Why didn't you say so?
This is actually perfect timing.
I'm launching a little business venture
and could use some help.
Business venture?
Arcade tokens?
Oh, yeah. I got a friend at the factory
who makes me these for cheap.
We're gonna clean up sellin' 'em
to those video game-lovin' city kids.
Is that allowed?
Don't worry. It'll be fine.
You'll be workin' with my daughter.
She'll show you the ropes.
Hey, kid, get out here! Nancy!
Yep. Whatcha need, Dad? Oh.
[Nick] This here's Whatshisface.
He's gonna help out tonight.
Hi
Hey, Whatshisface. [chuckles] I'm Nancy.
Nice to meet you.
And my name is actually Bill.
That's right. We're gonna be
rakin' in the bills.
Now take these coin belts
and get out there!
-Nice bike.
-Thanks. I like yours, too.
I put a baseball card in the spokes,
and now she sounds just like a motorcycle.
-Check it out!
-[card rattling]
[Bill] Whoa, impractical. But cool!
[both laughing]
[Nancy] All right. This is the place.
Hey, are you sure about this?
-I'm sure that the last one there
-Argh!
-is a rotten egg!
-Hey, no fair!
-[laughing]
-I wasn't ready!
Ha! I win!
-Aaaah! Oh!
-[groaning]
Oh, no! Oh, my gosh! Are you OK, Nancy?
I was just tryin' to get here first, I--
[laughing] Oh, man.
You sure are something, Bill Green.
Now, come on. Let's get to work.
[video game noises]
All right. Step one,
put these coin belts on.
Step two, watch and learn.
Hey, kid. You know, if you put your dollar
in that machine,
you'll only get four tokens.
But if you give that dollar to me,
I'll give ya eight.
Even a dumb kid like me
knows that's a good deal!
An excellent choice. Here ya go.
Be sure to tell your friends.
It's that easy. Now you try.
I don't know about this.
This is kinda stealing. Right?
Yeah. I know how ya feel.
Even though I'm good at it,
it's not like I love
doing this sorta stuff.
But my dad keeps hatching these schemes
and we've just got a lot of bills to pay.
Us, too. My ma works day and night,
but it's still not enough.
Your mom sounds really tough.
She is. And if she
can push herself that hard,
then I can, too. Let's go make some money!
[both] Yeah!
Hey, kid. Interested in
purchasing some cheap tokens?
Here's a couple tokens on the house.
Come see me when you need more.
[both] Anybody need some cheap tokens?
Cheap tokens! Cheap tokens! Cheap tokens!
We hit up every kid in the arcade!
Wait.
-Not every kid.
-Ho-ho-ho!
Mein pants are so full of cash!
And mein hiney is so full
of golden coins, yah!
-I'm going for it.
-Hey, we got enough.
Let's not push our luck.
I need to make as much money as I can
for the farm.
And this kid is just the ticket.
Ach, mein cash won't fit
into das token machine!
Hiya, friend! In need of some tokens?
What? I can't hear you
over my a-jingaling and a-jangalin' hiney!
I said, I'm selling cheap tokens!
Ahem.
Are you the kid who's been
selling black market tokens?
Aah! Who are you?
I'm Joe. Of Joe's Arcade.
Eek! Konflikt!
-[Joe] Stay put. I'm calling the police.
-[whimpering]
Bill! Let's get outta here!
-[panting, whimpering]
-Hey! Stop right there!
Bill! Come on!
-[Joe] Stop!
-[Nancy] Come on!
-[Joe] Stop it!
-[Nancy] Bill!
I'm so confused!
Hey! Someone, stop those kids!
Ha-ha! We did it!
Aah! Touchdown!
-Free tokens!
-All right, now we're talkin'!
Thank you, officer. Nice job, Remington.
You know, you'd make
a great police officer one day.
Police officer, huh? "Officer Keys."
Sure does have a nice ring to it.
I wasn't talking to you!
Bup bup bup! I'm plannin' my whole future.
[harmonica playing]
[police officer] Bill Green?
Your mother's here to pick you up.
[jail door opens]
-Ma, I'm so sorry--
-Not. Now.
-[Gramma] Stay here.
-[car door shuts]
[muffled screaming]
I don't know what to do, Bill.
I've been so busy trying to save the farm
that I didn't even notice you were
turning to a life of crime.
I can't keep ya safe,
and I'm failing you as a mother.
Ma, you're not a failure.
You've sacrificed so much for me.
And now I want to return the favor.
Let's take Mr. Quisling up on his offer.
Bill, well, don't you wanna
run the farm someday?
I'll get my own farm one day,
but I don't need to have this one.
What I do need is my mom.
Oh come here, Billy boy.
At least we'll be selling our land to
a farmer and not some city developers.
Yeah. And with the money from the sale,
our lives will be easier.
Ooh, I won't have to do shady jobs
for strangers anymore!
And if nothin' else, at least this'll
keep you away from that Nancy girl.
-She's a bad influence!
-[chuckles nervously]
And that's the story
of why we downsized the farm.
But Mr. Quisling did
sell the land to developers!
Yeah, and now the farmland is city land.
And you didn't even
keep me and Bill apart.
I know! And that's why sellin' the land
was the biggest mistake of my life!
Aw, gee, Ma, I'm sorry I made ya--
But it was worth it.
[all] Aww!
OK, that's enough.
Thanks, y'all, for accompanying us
to the Lil' Ladies Doll Palace.
It's a sacred place
for both dolls and doll owners.
Saxon insisted we spend his birthday here.
(as Saxon) "Here's to one more
full revolution around the sun!"
This place smells like
cinnamon and desperation.
Well, we're off to grab a table
at the High Socie-Tea Room.
Y'all enjoy the store!
Thanks, we won't.
Finally, just the two of us, Tilly girl.
[as Saxon] "Well, what am I,
chopped liver?"
Yeah-heh-heh
Since when do dolls
need all this mollycoddlin'?
They got a hair salon?
A yoga studio?
-And what the heck is a "hospi-doll"?
-Out of the way!
We're losing her! We're losing her!
Back in my day, they worked the farm
just like everyone else.
Here it comes. "Back in my day,
we had to slice our own bread
and rode dinosaurs to work."
Boy, you ought to learn some respect.
Ooh! Now this is what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Takin' you on a tour
of these historical dolls
ought to teach you some manners.
Oh, Gramma. We both know
that lesson will never take.
Hm? Oh, no. No, no, no.
Help! Dad!
Hmm. What's Bill gonna do
in a place like this?
[sniffing] I smell
sawdust and craftsmanship!
[panting]
A workstation! Power tools!
Construction materials?
Hi, there. Welcome to
the Build a Lil' Dream Home workstation.
[shushing] I know just what to do.
All right, sug, we're in the height
of luxury now.
A table for two ladies
and one birthday gentleman, please.
I'm really sorry.
There's gonna be another hour wait.
Yeesh. Are you sure
there's nothin' you can do?
It's someone's special day.
[Tilly] Hello!
Trust me, ma'am.
Everyone around here
is having a "special day."
So step aside
until the next table opens up, plea--
[gasps] She's here!
It's Miss Cantaloupe Sinclair!
She's a prestige member
of the Lifetime Lil' Ladies Club!
-That's her!
-She's like doll royalty!
Cantaloupe Sinclair?
Wait, I don't know who that is.
Please come right in, Miss Sinclair.
Thank you, Jessica. Oh! I've never seen
that type of doll before. What's his name?
Well, this is my burlap companion, Saxon.
Oh, cute! Saxon, you don't mind
if me and my friends head in first, right?
Oh. Uh [as Saxon]
"Of course! Go right ahead!"
You're such a doll.
Hope to see you in there.
Yep. See ya in there.
Psh. Line cutters, am I right?
Oh, uh, yeah. Totally.
Now, which historic doll
should we look at first?
Ah, here's a good one!
This is Jezebel Jenkins!
She was a general in the Great War.
Ugh! Being stuck in this exhibit
is my Great War. Aah!
Oh, no, you don't!
Fine. If I can't escape physically,
I'll just retreat
into my imagination. Hmm
-[rock music playing]
-Space motorcycle!
Knock it off! What'd I tell ya
about usin' your imagination?
Oh, look, Cricket! Over there
-are the pre-colonial dolls!
-[grunting]
Those girls were pioneers.
Heh. No one can box in ol' Cricket Green.
Huh?
Oh, cheese curds.
Help! Help! Dad!
And with a couple of modifications,
this house'll soon be up to code.
-Wow! Very nice.
-Unbelievable.
-[classical music]
-[Nancy] Phew!
I'm glad we finally got a table.
Might be all the way in the back,
but I'm sure
we'll still have a great time.
Besides, being right by the kitchen
means we'll get our food fas--
--ter.
Oh, yes, Mama.
We're gonna have such a great time.
Lots of fun things to do here
-[laughing]
-He's so funny! [laughs]
Maybe it's time we bust out
those homemade Tilly muffins you brought!
[as Saxon] "Muffins?
I'll take a baker's dozen!"
Let's dig in!
I wonder if those kids
would want a muffin.
Well, why don't you go ask?
Oh, no. I-- I wouldn't want
to bother them.
Til, I don't think anyone's
ever been bothered by muffins.
Well, if you insist
And I was like, "Yeah, duh!"
-[both laughing]
-[Tilly laughing loudly]
Oh, it's you again! Hi!
I was wonderin' if any of you
would like to try
one of my homemade muffins.
I'm probably allergic or something.
Yeah. Allergic to garbage! Hey-o!
[both laughing]
-I'd love one.
-[both gasp]
-Oh, me, too!
-Yeah, I'd love some garbage!
Uh by all means.
You'll have to excuse my friends.
These are great!
Well, thank you.
I made 'em for Saxon's birthday!
[as Saxon]
"Don't ask me what age I'm turnin',
'cause I ain't tellin'!"
-[chuckles]
-[both laugh performatively]
I like you. You're fun.
Would you and Saxon like to sit
with me and my besties forev-sies?
[gasps] We'd love to!
Just let me head over
and grab my mama so we can all--
[Cantaloupe] Oh, um, actually
I was kind of hoping
it could just be us kids.
Oh. Uh. Yeah. That should be fine.
[whistling] There you are, Tilly.
Some crumpets fell off the waiter's tray!
Another perk of being kitchen-adjacent,
am I right?
Oh, Mama. Those fancy kids
want me and Saxon to sit with them!
That's wonderful, kiddo!
Want us to take these floor crumpets
to go, then?
Well, the thing is, Cantaloupe said
that it's a kids-only type of party,
and you know Saxon
really wants to go, so
Oh. Well. If Saxon wants to go
No problem.
Thanks, Mama!
Gotta keep the birthday boy happy!
Come on, Saxon! You're about to soar
up the doll society ladder!
Have fun! [sighs]
[chomps, grunts]
Look, Mama! That old lady
likes talking to her dollies, too!
She was the rootinest, tootinest sheriff
west of the Mississippi!
All right, come on, sweetie.
You know, Cricket,
sometimes it's hard for me
to tell ya how I feel, but I love ya--
Oh, are ya kiddin' me?
Nobody makes a fool outta Alice Green!
Aah! [grunts] Ohh, this ain't good.
[grunting] Oh, pickle sticks, I'm stuck!
Where is that little menace?
Gramma! Gramma, help me!
Ooh! Hehe, this is just perfect.
Gee, Cricket, would you look at that?
That doll up there looks exactly like you!
-Ah, come on!
-Well, hello there, dearie.
Say, would you like to take home
a new doll?
[breathy grunting]
Ohh, no.
All right, Saxon, we have arrived.
Oh, hi, Tilly. Welcome back.
Please, have a seat.
Great! Um, I'll have
to find a chair to pull up.
You don't need to do that.
Oh, Willow, you and your doll
are excused now.
-Wh-What?
-Wait, what, now?
I said Willow's leaving,
so you can have her seat.
I'm sure there's room for everyone.
If I let everyone sit with us,
then it wouldn't be special.
Willow, you're OK with this, right?
Oh. Y-Yeah, sure. [grunts]
Heh. Have fun, Tilly.
OK Well Thanks for havin' me!
[breathy panting]
Eh Ehh
Gramma, this is drool
and unusual punishment!
Wordplay won't save ya now, boy!
Do ya give up?
Yes, I'm sorry!
Old dolls are cool or whatever!
-Good enough.
-[yelps]
Once again, Alice Green comes out on top.
Uhh Listen, kid, the joke's over.
-Now, git!
-[screeches]
[both scream]
Ahh, all done. Ha-ha, ain't she a beaut?
Complete with electric,
workin' appliances,
-and indoor plumbin'!
-[flushes]
I-- I don't understand.
You only used one piece of wood.
Heh. How 'bout that.
My whole life is a lie!
-[screaming]
-How do ya turn this thing off?
-[Bill] Hey, family!
-[coos]
What's goin' on?
[breathy babbling]
Dollhouse made her stop screamin'!
Bill, give her that thing!
What? Give her this?
It's the house or your son.
You're hesitating!
Fine, you can take the dollhouse.
[happy babbling]
You know, maybe this is for the best.
That little girl can enjoy the dollhouse,
and maybe when she has kids of her own,
-she can pass it on down to--
-[wood breaking]
Uh, Dad?
[laughing]
Thanks again for havin' me
at your table, Cantaloupe.
Just to had to make a little room.
Ashton, are you happy
with the changes at the table?
Oh, yeah. Willow was the worst.
[laughs nervously]
Seems like your friends kinda do
whatever you tell them to do.
Friends? Ashton is more of a lackey.
Watch this.
Ashton, I've decided Tilly's muffins
aren't so great anymore.
-Blech!
-But what?
You see, Tilly. The people
who sit at this table are like my dolls.
They say what I want them to say,
do what I want them to do.
And now, you've joined my collection!
That's crazy! I'm not
just gonna do whatever you say!
Oh, Tilly, you already have.
You ditched your own mother
to sit with me.
-No, no, I--
-Here's what you're gonna do.
Throw out that disgusting sack
and get a proper Lil' Lady doll.
You're-- You're a bad person!
I can't believe
I actually thought
sittin' at your table was cool!
[as Saxon] "Here's how we feel
about your fancy table! Splash!"
[gasps] Genevieve!
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna head back
to hang out with the coolest kid I know,
my mama!
Cantaloupe?
-[Cantaloupe] Oh, Tilly?
-Huh? Aah!
-[all gasp]
-And that is how I feel about you.
[giggles] Oof!
-Wha--?
-[rock music chord strikes]
Nobody messes with my little lady.
-[screams]
-Dang, that kid has anger issues.
Oh! [growls]
-[grunting]
-[all shouting]
-[gasps]
-Tilly, you're OK!
Only physically.
Mama, I'm sorry I abandoned you.
Saxon wanted-- I really wanted
to fit in with the fancy kids.
Aw, Til, it's OK. Seeing you stand up
to that lil' dweebus
made me so dang proud of you!
-I love you, sug!
-I love you, too, Mama.
Now, come on. Let's show these Lil' Ladies
how the Green girls have a food fight.
With ya till the end, Mama!
[all screaming]
This place has gone nuts!
We're gonna have to move on
without Nancy and Tilly.
Every man for him--
Oh, hey, girls! How'd it go?
Had some tea, started a food fight.
Pretty quality mother/daughter time.
Saxon says it was the best
birthday he coulda asked for.
Tilly! Wait! Uh, Juniper Bunderstitch
wanted to say something.
[as Juniper] "I think the way you stood up
to Cantaloupe back there was really cool.
Do you think you'd want
to have tea together sometime?"
[as Saxon] "Of course!
At our table, everyone is welcome!"

Hey, Ma! How's work goin'?
I still got three fields to plow.
Why don't you go ahead
and get dinner started?
Oh, boy! Dinner duty!
-[panting]
-Heh. What a funny kid.
-[back cracks]
-Aah! Unh. I'm gettin' old.
Oh, hey, Ma! Just in time for dinner!
This looks delici
-[snoring]
-Gee.
Ma's really been pushing herself lately.
-[knocking on door]
-Who's it?
No trespassing!
Oh, it's just you, Quisling.
I almost ran ya through!
Wouldn't be the first time.
Probably wouldn't be the last.
Just tell me what you want, already.
You got more land than you can manage,
so I'd like to buy some.
What makes you think
I'm lookin' to sell my land?
-Wha--
-Well, word on the cornfield
is your last harvest didn't do so well.
And you can't afford
any farmhands this season.
I, on the other hand,
am looking to expand,
so this could be a good deal
for both of us, methinks.
This land's been in our family
for generations.
It's our legacy!
But that does sound
like a pretty good deal.
No!
[grunts] No!
Ma, you can't sell the farm!
Bill, I wouldn't be selling the farm.
Just downsizing it.
But I want to run this farm
when I'm all grown up!
And I want to run it
just like how my ma did.
Well, all right.
Thanks for the offer, Mr. Quisling,
but I'll be keeping the farm
just how it is!
-OK.
-Now get outta here!
-OK.
-Hey, Ma?
Is the farm really doing that bad?
Now, don't you worry about it.
Things'll turn around.
It's just ever since your dad passed,
I'm short on time, money, and--
I hate to admit it, but I need help.
But you've got help, Ma!
Why don't you let me
take some of the adult chores
off your shoulders? I'm ready!
Eh, you're a little young for it, but
all right, we'll try it out.
Oh, boy! Every kid's dream!
More responsibility!
[Bill] Cock-a-doodle-doo!
[Gramma] Bill, quiet!
[Bill] Sorry, I'm just excited!
OK, Billy boy,
the hay baler's already connected,
so just start 'er up like I showed ya!
Hands at 10 and 2
and skippity-doo-hoo-hoo!
-[engine running]
-Look, I'm doin' it, Ma! Are ya lookin'?
Yep, you're doin' great!
I'm finally helping out Ma
doing real farm chores!
And I bet I get to do even more chores
if I pick up the speed!
Whoo-hoo!
-Oh, yah!
-[clanging]
What the heck was-- [gasps]
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh, geez! Ma's never gonna let me
drive the tractor ever again!
It's fine, Bill. You can fix this.
And Ma never needs to know.
[grunting]
Ah. That thing's really stuck in there.
This looks like a job for a hand.
[straining, grunting]
Oh! Almost got it! Aah!
Are you out of your mind?
There was a rock, and I was trying to--
Do you know how badly
you could've been hurt?
How do you think I lost my leg?
I don't know, the story keeps changing!
Listen, Bill. The thing I need
even more than help
on this farm is for you to stay safe.
You are banned from working on this farm!
No more farm work?
Yes, ma'am.
[groans] That boy's
gonna lose a finger someday.
[munching loudly]
[sighs] Even the sweet taste
of this plain white bread
can't cheer me up.
I don't know what to do, Pop.
Ma can't run the farm on her own.
Wait a sec. I don't need to be
doing chores to help Ma.
I need to be makin' money!
[honking]
Hang in there, Ma!
Help's on the way!
Uh, can I help you?
I was hoping to help you.
I can do any odd job you've got.
-No thanks, kid. I'm a DIY-er.
-DIY?
It stands for "Do It Yourself,"
as in, I don't need any help,
especially from some kid.
Oh, well. I'll do better next time!
-Shine your shoes?
-No.
-Paint your fence?
-Scram!
Need any help?
Yes. I need so much help
I'm going to go now.
Drat. Back to squeezing
all these tomatoes by myself.
Gee, everyone in town
sure is self-reliant. Or scary!
But there's gotta be someone
who needs my help.
Hey. What do you want?
Did Stinky Jim send ya?
You workin' for Stinky Jim?
Uh no, sir.
The only Jim I know smells great.
I was hoping I could work for you!
Oh! Why didn't you say so?
This is actually perfect timing.
I'm launching a little business venture
and could use some help.
Business venture?
Arcade tokens?
Oh, yeah. I got a friend at the factory
who makes me these for cheap.
We're gonna clean up sellin' 'em
to those video game-lovin' city kids.
Is that allowed?
Don't worry. It'll be fine.
You'll be workin' with my daughter.
She'll show you the ropes.
Hey, kid, get out here! Nancy!
Yep. Whatcha need, Dad? Oh.
[Nick] This here's Whatshisface.
He's gonna help out tonight.
Hi
Hey, Whatshisface. [chuckles] I'm Nancy.
Nice to meet you.
And my name is actually Bill.
That's right. We're gonna be
rakin' in the bills.
Now take these coin belts
and get out there!
-Nice bike.
-Thanks. I like yours, too.
I put a baseball card in the spokes,
and now she sounds just like a motorcycle.
-Check it out!
-[card rattling]
[Bill] Whoa, impractical. But cool!
[both laughing]
[Nancy] All right. This is the place.
Hey, are you sure about this?
-I'm sure that the last one there
-Argh!
-is a rotten egg!
-Hey, no fair!
-[laughing]
-I wasn't ready!
Ha! I win!
-Aaaah! Oh!
-[groaning]
Oh, no! Oh, my gosh! Are you OK, Nancy?
I was just tryin' to get here first, I--
[laughing] Oh, man.
You sure are something, Bill Green.
Now, come on. Let's get to work.
[video game noises]
All right. Step one,
put these coin belts on.
Step two, watch and learn.
Hey, kid. You know, if you put your dollar
in that machine,
you'll only get four tokens.
But if you give that dollar to me,
I'll give ya eight.
Even a dumb kid like me
knows that's a good deal!
An excellent choice. Here ya go.
Be sure to tell your friends.
It's that easy. Now you try.
I don't know about this.
This is kinda stealing. Right?
Yeah. I know how ya feel.
Even though I'm good at it,
it's not like I love
doing this sorta stuff.
But my dad keeps hatching these schemes
and we've just got a lot of bills to pay.
Us, too. My ma works day and night,
but it's still not enough.
Your mom sounds really tough.
She is. And if she
can push herself that hard,
then I can, too. Let's go make some money!
[both] Yeah!
Hey, kid. Interested in
purchasing some cheap tokens?
Here's a couple tokens on the house.
Come see me when you need more.
[both] Anybody need some cheap tokens?
Cheap tokens! Cheap tokens! Cheap tokens!
We hit up every kid in the arcade!
Wait.
-Not every kid.
-Ho-ho-ho!
Mein pants are so full of cash!
And mein hiney is so full
of golden coins, yah!
-I'm going for it.
-Hey, we got enough.
Let's not push our luck.
I need to make as much money as I can
for the farm.
And this kid is just the ticket.
Ach, mein cash won't fit
into das token machine!
Hiya, friend! In need of some tokens?
What? I can't hear you
over my a-jingaling and a-jangalin' hiney!
I said, I'm selling cheap tokens!
Ahem.
Are you the kid who's been
selling black market tokens?
Aah! Who are you?
I'm Joe. Of Joe's Arcade.
Eek! Konflikt!
-[Joe] Stay put. I'm calling the police.
-[whimpering]
Bill! Let's get outta here!
-[panting, whimpering]
-Hey! Stop right there!
Bill! Come on!
-[Joe] Stop!
-[Nancy] Come on!
-[Joe] Stop it!
-[Nancy] Bill!
I'm so confused!
Hey! Someone, stop those kids!
Ha-ha! We did it!
Aah! Touchdown!
-Free tokens!
-All right, now we're talkin'!
Thank you, officer. Nice job, Remington.
You know, you'd make
a great police officer one day.
Police officer, huh? "Officer Keys."
Sure does have a nice ring to it.
I wasn't talking to you!
Bup bup bup! I'm plannin' my whole future.
[harmonica playing]
[police officer] Bill Green?
Your mother's here to pick you up.
[jail door opens]
-Ma, I'm so sorry--
-Not. Now.
-[Gramma] Stay here.
-[car door shuts]
[muffled screaming]
I don't know what to do, Bill.
I've been so busy trying to save the farm
that I didn't even notice you were
turning to a life of crime.
I can't keep ya safe,
and I'm failing you as a mother.
Ma, you're not a failure.
You've sacrificed so much for me.
And now I want to return the favor.
Let's take Mr. Quisling up on his offer.
Bill, well, don't you wanna
run the farm someday?
I'll get my own farm one day,
but I don't need to have this one.
What I do need is my mom.
Oh come here, Billy boy.
At least we'll be selling our land to
a farmer and not some city developers.
Yeah. And with the money from the sale,
our lives will be easier.
Ooh, I won't have to do shady jobs
for strangers anymore!
And if nothin' else, at least this'll
keep you away from that Nancy girl.
-She's a bad influence!
-[chuckles nervously]
And that's the story
of why we downsized the farm.
But Mr. Quisling did
sell the land to developers!
Yeah, and now the farmland is city land.
And you didn't even
keep me and Bill apart.
I know! And that's why sellin' the land
was the biggest mistake of my life!
Aw, gee, Ma, I'm sorry I made ya--
But it was worth it.
[all] Aww!
OK, that's enough.
Thanks, y'all, for accompanying us
to the Lil' Ladies Doll Palace.
It's a sacred place
for both dolls and doll owners.
Saxon insisted we spend his birthday here.
(as Saxon) "Here's to one more
full revolution around the sun!"
This place smells like
cinnamon and desperation.
Well, we're off to grab a table
at the High Socie-Tea Room.
Y'all enjoy the store!
Thanks, we won't.
Finally, just the two of us, Tilly girl.
[as Saxon] "Well, what am I,
chopped liver?"
Yeah-heh-heh
Since when do dolls
need all this mollycoddlin'?
They got a hair salon?
A yoga studio?
-And what the heck is a "hospi-doll"?
-Out of the way!
We're losing her! We're losing her!
Back in my day, they worked the farm
just like everyone else.
Here it comes. "Back in my day,
we had to slice our own bread
and rode dinosaurs to work."
Boy, you ought to learn some respect.
Ooh! Now this is what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Takin' you on a tour
of these historical dolls
ought to teach you some manners.
Oh, Gramma. We both know
that lesson will never take.
Hm? Oh, no. No, no, no.
Help! Dad!
Hmm. What's Bill gonna do
in a place like this?
[sniffing] I smell
sawdust and craftsmanship!
[panting]
A workstation! Power tools!
Construction materials?
Hi, there. Welcome to
the Build a Lil' Dream Home workstation.
[shushing] I know just what to do.
All right, sug, we're in the height
of luxury now.
A table for two ladies
and one birthday gentleman, please.
I'm really sorry.
There's gonna be another hour wait.
Yeesh. Are you sure
there's nothin' you can do?
It's someone's special day.
[Tilly] Hello!
Trust me, ma'am.
Everyone around here
is having a "special day."
So step aside
until the next table opens up, plea--
[gasps] She's here!
It's Miss Cantaloupe Sinclair!
She's a prestige member
of the Lifetime Lil' Ladies Club!
-That's her!
-She's like doll royalty!
Cantaloupe Sinclair?
Wait, I don't know who that is.
Please come right in, Miss Sinclair.
Thank you, Jessica. Oh! I've never seen
that type of doll before. What's his name?
Well, this is my burlap companion, Saxon.
Oh, cute! Saxon, you don't mind
if me and my friends head in first, right?
Oh. Uh [as Saxon]
"Of course! Go right ahead!"
You're such a doll.
Hope to see you in there.
Yep. See ya in there.
Psh. Line cutters, am I right?
Oh, uh, yeah. Totally.
Now, which historic doll
should we look at first?
Ah, here's a good one!
This is Jezebel Jenkins!
She was a general in the Great War.
Ugh! Being stuck in this exhibit
is my Great War. Aah!
Oh, no, you don't!
Fine. If I can't escape physically,
I'll just retreat
into my imagination. Hmm
-[rock music playing]
-Space motorcycle!
Knock it off! What'd I tell ya
about usin' your imagination?
Oh, look, Cricket! Over there
-are the pre-colonial dolls!
-[grunting]
Those girls were pioneers.
Heh. No one can box in ol' Cricket Green.
Huh?
Oh, cheese curds.
Help! Help! Dad!
And with a couple of modifications,
this house'll soon be up to code.
-Wow! Very nice.
-Unbelievable.
-[classical music]
-[Nancy] Phew!
I'm glad we finally got a table.
Might be all the way in the back,
but I'm sure
we'll still have a great time.
Besides, being right by the kitchen
means we'll get our food fas--
--ter.
Oh, yes, Mama.
We're gonna have such a great time.
Lots of fun things to do here
-[laughing]
-He's so funny! [laughs]
Maybe it's time we bust out
those homemade Tilly muffins you brought!
[as Saxon] "Muffins?
I'll take a baker's dozen!"
Let's dig in!
I wonder if those kids
would want a muffin.
Well, why don't you go ask?
Oh, no. I-- I wouldn't want
to bother them.
Til, I don't think anyone's
ever been bothered by muffins.
Well, if you insist
And I was like, "Yeah, duh!"
-[both laughing]
-[Tilly laughing loudly]
Oh, it's you again! Hi!
I was wonderin' if any of you
would like to try
one of my homemade muffins.
I'm probably allergic or something.
Yeah. Allergic to garbage! Hey-o!
[both laughing]
-I'd love one.
-[both gasp]
-Oh, me, too!
-Yeah, I'd love some garbage!
Uh by all means.
You'll have to excuse my friends.
These are great!
Well, thank you.
I made 'em for Saxon's birthday!
[as Saxon]
"Don't ask me what age I'm turnin',
'cause I ain't tellin'!"
-[chuckles]
-[both laugh performatively]
I like you. You're fun.
Would you and Saxon like to sit
with me and my besties forev-sies?
[gasps] We'd love to!
Just let me head over
and grab my mama so we can all--
[Cantaloupe] Oh, um, actually
I was kind of hoping
it could just be us kids.
Oh. Uh. Yeah. That should be fine.
[whistling] There you are, Tilly.
Some crumpets fell off the waiter's tray!
Another perk of being kitchen-adjacent,
am I right?
Oh, Mama. Those fancy kids
want me and Saxon to sit with them!
That's wonderful, kiddo!
Want us to take these floor crumpets
to go, then?
Well, the thing is, Cantaloupe said
that it's a kids-only type of party,
and you know Saxon
really wants to go, so
Oh. Well. If Saxon wants to go
No problem.
Thanks, Mama!
Gotta keep the birthday boy happy!
Come on, Saxon! You're about to soar
up the doll society ladder!
Have fun! [sighs]
[chomps, grunts]
Look, Mama! That old lady
likes talking to her dollies, too!
She was the rootinest, tootinest sheriff
west of the Mississippi!
All right, come on, sweetie.
You know, Cricket,
sometimes it's hard for me
to tell ya how I feel, but I love ya--
Oh, are ya kiddin' me?
Nobody makes a fool outta Alice Green!
Aah! [grunts] Ohh, this ain't good.
[grunting] Oh, pickle sticks, I'm stuck!
Where is that little menace?
Gramma! Gramma, help me!
Ooh! Hehe, this is just perfect.
Gee, Cricket, would you look at that?
That doll up there looks exactly like you!
-Ah, come on!
-Well, hello there, dearie.
Say, would you like to take home
a new doll?
[breathy grunting]
Ohh, no.
All right, Saxon, we have arrived.
Oh, hi, Tilly. Welcome back.
Please, have a seat.
Great! Um, I'll have
to find a chair to pull up.
You don't need to do that.
Oh, Willow, you and your doll
are excused now.
-Wh-What?
-Wait, what, now?
I said Willow's leaving,
so you can have her seat.
I'm sure there's room for everyone.
If I let everyone sit with us,
then it wouldn't be special.
Willow, you're OK with this, right?
Oh. Y-Yeah, sure. [grunts]
Heh. Have fun, Tilly.
OK Well Thanks for havin' me!
[breathy panting]
Eh Ehh
Gramma, this is drool
and unusual punishment!
Wordplay won't save ya now, boy!
Do ya give up?
Yes, I'm sorry!
Old dolls are cool or whatever!
-Good enough.
-[yelps]
Once again, Alice Green comes out on top.
Uhh Listen, kid, the joke's over.
-Now, git!
-[screeches]
[both scream]
Ahh, all done. Ha-ha, ain't she a beaut?
Complete with electric,
workin' appliances,
-and indoor plumbin'!
-[flushes]
I-- I don't understand.
You only used one piece of wood.
Heh. How 'bout that.
My whole life is a lie!
-[screaming]
-How do ya turn this thing off?
-[Bill] Hey, family!
-[coos]
What's goin' on?
[breathy babbling]
Dollhouse made her stop screamin'!
Bill, give her that thing!
What? Give her this?
It's the house or your son.
You're hesitating!
Fine, you can take the dollhouse.
[happy babbling]
You know, maybe this is for the best.
That little girl can enjoy the dollhouse,
and maybe when she has kids of her own,
-she can pass it on down to--
-[wood breaking]
Uh, Dad?
[laughing]
Thanks again for havin' me
at your table, Cantaloupe.
Just to had to make a little room.
Ashton, are you happy
with the changes at the table?
Oh, yeah. Willow was the worst.
[laughs nervously]
Seems like your friends kinda do
whatever you tell them to do.
Friends? Ashton is more of a lackey.
Watch this.
Ashton, I've decided Tilly's muffins
aren't so great anymore.
-Blech!
-But what?
You see, Tilly. The people
who sit at this table are like my dolls.
They say what I want them to say,
do what I want them to do.
And now, you've joined my collection!
That's crazy! I'm not
just gonna do whatever you say!
Oh, Tilly, you already have.
You ditched your own mother
to sit with me.
-No, no, I--
-Here's what you're gonna do.
Throw out that disgusting sack
and get a proper Lil' Lady doll.
You're-- You're a bad person!
I can't believe
I actually thought
sittin' at your table was cool!
[as Saxon] "Here's how we feel
about your fancy table! Splash!"
[gasps] Genevieve!
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna head back
to hang out with the coolest kid I know,
my mama!
Cantaloupe?
-[Cantaloupe] Oh, Tilly?
-Huh? Aah!
-[all gasp]
-And that is how I feel about you.
[giggles] Oof!
-Wha--?
-[rock music chord strikes]
Nobody messes with my little lady.
-[screams]
-Dang, that kid has anger issues.
Oh! [growls]
-[grunting]
-[all shouting]
-[gasps]
-Tilly, you're OK!
Only physically.
Mama, I'm sorry I abandoned you.
Saxon wanted-- I really wanted
to fit in with the fancy kids.
Aw, Til, it's OK. Seeing you stand up
to that lil' dweebus
made me so dang proud of you!
-I love you, sug!
-I love you, too, Mama.
Now, come on. Let's show these Lil' Ladies
how the Green girls have a food fight.
With ya till the end, Mama!
[all screaming]
This place has gone nuts!
We're gonna have to move on
without Nancy and Tilly.
Every man for him--
Oh, hey, girls! How'd it go?
Had some tea, started a food fight.
Pretty quality mother/daughter time.
Saxon says it was the best
birthday he coulda asked for.
Tilly! Wait! Uh, Juniper Bunderstitch
wanted to say something.
[as Juniper] "I think the way you stood up
to Cantaloupe back there was really cool.
Do you think you'd want
to have tea together sometime?"
[as Saxon] "Of course!
At our table, everyone is welcome!"
