[TV announcer] And now, back to
Filthy, Rich, and Hungry!
I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't think
gold lobsters exist.
Blue was the best we could do!
Do you know who I think I am?
If I say I want gold lobster, I get it!
Mmm. Content.
Son, are you still watchin' TV?
What can I say? I like to be entertained.
Well, why not read a book?
Like your sister!
[gasps] Where am I? What time is it?
Aww, look how invested she is!
See, the thing is, reading requires focus,
and my brain ain't havin' none of that.
Monkeys runnin' the zoo, know what I mean?
[all chattering loudly]
Where's the bathroom?
Where's the bathroom?!
It's best not to fight it.
Books are fun, Cricket!
They're full of atmosphere,
amazing new worlds,
fascinatin' characters,
-and sometimes, they kiss.
-[both] What?
-What?
-Y'all talkin' 'bout books?
Gramma, you like readin' books?
Darn tootin'! Books are for everybody!
Just gotta find the right one
to get ya started.
Well, I would like to enjoy
reading for once
I'm in! Let's get Cricket a book!
-[all] Yeah!
-But where in the city
are we gonna find a place
with an endless catalogue of books?
[Cricket] Oh, the library!
Dewey Decimal, here I come!
Hold up. What's this?
Huh? Oh, that? That's just to hold
all the books I'm gonna acquire.
This is full of toys!
Bouncy balls, board games, Blego Blocks?!
I'm weak! I wanna find a book,
but I know my brain!
If it's not constantly stimulated,
I will lose it!
We won't let that happen.
We're here for you, brother!
Yeah, we're not leavin'
until we get you a book!
Eh! What, you say summ'?
Let's go.
All right. The "liberry"
is a quiet place--
-"Library."
-And the "liberrians"--
Papa, there's an "R" you're missin'.
Oh, sorry. The "liberrarians"--
Never mind.
--take their jobs very seriously.
So, we don't wanna get on their bad side.
We have to be quiet, too?!
This'll be the hardest thing
I've ever done!
See, Cricket? It's great here!
You probably feel your need
to be constantly distracted
-fading away--
-[toy beeping loudly]
[toy] We're going to the moon!
(whispering) Sorry!
[all quietly panicking]
Heh.
Aah!
[all] Cricket!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. There will be no noises
in the library, young man.
So you better watch yourself.
I have very good hearing.
-[hearing aid whistling]
-What was that? Speak up!
Dang hearin' aid's on the fritz.
[hisses] You're new here,
so this will be your only warning.
One more sound,
and you're banned for good.
Is whisperin' allowed?
Not one more sound.
[light sneeze]
Hey, I've been meanin' to ask,
can we get a puppy?
Shh
[groans softly]
[gasps]
[Tilly's inner voice] We can't talk,
but we can use sign language!
Wait, y'all don't know sign language?
Hm. [gasps]
[Bill] Hello! I love, uh you!
Sorry. Me not know much.
That's okay.
You three can just do charades.
[gasps] Charades!
[all] Charades!
Good brain, Cricket.
We find Cricket book.
[grunts]
Let my favorite fantasy books
carry you away to another world!
[grunting, growling]
Murder mysteries!
All right, Cricket, time to find a book.
Wonder what Gramma's got for me.
All right, pretty cool cover.
It's a little thick, though.
Just flip to the end real quick--
Five hundred pages?!
Blech! No, thanks.
Maybe Tilly's got somethin' better.
The Feasts of Evermore, huh?
Worth a shot.
[British narrator] "Chapter
One. In a candlelit room
adorned with fine silks,
Lord Elnar Sunbreaker
waited impatiently for the arrival
of the Githurian Ambassador.
The tantalizing scent
of honeyed plums and pickled goose fat
wafted heavy upon the air,
-but Elnar was tempted by neither."
-[groaning]
[grunts] Ugh. Never mind. Hm?
Hm. Bleh!
[chuckles softly]
[chuckling softly]
[groans, shushing]
[laughing, gasps]
[whimpering]
Okay, the tricklin' water
should drown out our voices,
so we can talk without
the "liberrian" hearin' us.
So, what's wrong, son?
Did you not enjoy the books
Gramma and Tilly picked out?
I tried my best, but I can tell
my brain is protesting.
Well, maybe those weren't the right books.
Why don't you let ol' Daddy-o
pick out somethin' for ya?
Well, okay, I'll give it a shot.
Movies!
[grunts]
No movie. You book.
Uh--mm. Hm.
[Cricket's inner voice]
The Adventures of Lil' Abe.
[groans]
All right, brain, this is
your dad's favorite book.
It could be yours as well,
as long as you concentrate.
Just take it one line at a time.
"Lil' Abe lived in a log cabin."
Log cabin dog cabin dog captain!
Dog Captain! What are you doing?
We're headed right for that iceberg!
Dog Captain, slow down!
[Sailor] Oh, Dog Captain,
please, we have families!
[Dog Captain barking]
[boat crashing]
[grunts]
Ehh!
Ehh
Ugh, this is boring.
Quick, while he's distracted,
let's sneak downstairs and get a movie!
I dunno, brain,
Dad said to read this book.
Oh, yeah? Well, the brain
is like the dad of your body,
so you should listen to me instead.
Hm, that's actually a really good point.
Okay! Let's do it!
[groans internally]
[inhales deeply]
[screaming]
Shh!
-[screaming continues]
-[panting]
Come on!
[screaming]
[panting]
[panting]
[whimpers]
[panting]
[door squeaking]
[squeaking intensifies]
Phew!
[clicking tongue menacingly]
[rustling]
[hisses]
[groans]
[groaning]
Ahh!
[loud feedback]
Shush!
I think it's safe to whisper in here.
-[Tilly] Cricket!
-Huh? Ahh!
Hey, son. You left this upstairs.
-Oh. Thanks.
-What's wrong?
I tried, Dad, but I just couldn't get into
Lil' Abe either.
Maybe the problem isn't books,
it's me and my stimuli-chasin' brain.
Don't give up on yourself just yet.
We can come back
another day and try again.
Yeah, I guess. Let's go home.
Let's collect Gramma and head outta here.
-[crunch]
-[screaming]
Was that so hard?
[all gasp]
[inhales deeply]
(whispering) Librarians, assemble.
[all panting]
[all gasp]
[loud feedback]
Dang thing's always buggin' out. Oh, snap.
Everyone, split up!
[grunts]
Wow!
Pictures? Action? Mystery?
Sound effects spelled out?
Dang, this book's got everything!
And it just keeps going? Wow!
Ho-ho!
[Cricket laughing]
Uh-oh! Oh, that's good! [giggling]
[grunting]
[giggling]
I. Love. You.
[inhales deeply]
[screaming]
-[screaming continues]
-[giggling]
-Dad!
-You're okay!
Yeah. Banned from all libraries
across the globe.
I didn't know they had that authority.
But it was all worth it
to give you the gift of reading!
Thanks, Dad! I'm super excited
to read this when we get home!
I'm really glad you found a book
that suits your interests.
Me, too! I'm also glad
we're back outside again.
Now, we can be as loud as we want!
Come, scream with me, family!
[all screaming]
[narrator] "And then they all screamed
into the sunset. The End."
Shh!
[Cricket] Gather round, gather round,
and welcome to
Bring Your Family to Work Day,
where I get to show you how I do my job.
This here is our coffee station,
where I make all that good bean juice.
Wow, son, it's so great
to be able to watch you work!
Ha-ha-ho! You're gonna do more than watch.
Who wants to get the hands-on experience?
-Brown? My favorite color!
-Ooh! Very nice!
Hey. I see what you're doing,
tricking your family
into doing work for you.
Maybe
What do you think Ms. Cho
would think about this?
She's fine with it!
-[grunts]
-Ugh. Whatever.
[Chip] I've got eyes on you,
Cricket Green.
Eyes from five slightly
different camera angles.
After my next big plan,
you and your family
will regret ever stepping foot in my city!
In Chip Whistler's city! [evil laugh]
Actually, sir, the city's more of a mix
between public and private lands
with four zones devoted
solely to residential--
I don't care about zoning laws!
What I care about is taking down
the Green family, once and for all!
I'll admit, my plans of the past
have all had mishaps.
Operation Crop Cover
was brilliant on paper.
Hm?
Good luck growing vegetables
without the sun! [evil laugh]
[Chip] But there were too many
technical setbacks.
Same goes for Operation Stand Sabotage.
Whoa--! [sighs]
[evil laughing]
[Chip] No matter how much work
I put into a plan,
there's always something
that gets in my way!
Aaah-- Oof!
That last one might have been
a sleep-deprived hallucination.
-[knocking]
-Ah, sorry to interrupt
your extended monologue,
but the VP is here to see you.
Hello, Chip.
Ahh! No! I like it spooky!
Sorry, Chip, but we've been waiting on you
to sign these forms for weeks.
[groans, whines]
I don't have time for this!
Also, the board's weekly meeting
is starting soon.
As the Wholesome Foods CEO,
you really should be there.
Sorry, but I've got too much on
my plate here, chipping--
-[rimshot]
-[cough]
--away at a much more pressing issue,
so thank you for nothing, goodbye!
Now, where were we?
Oh, right. Watch out, Cricket Green.
I've still got one last trick
up my sleeve.
Aw, jeez, what have you
gotten yourself into, Bill?
So many little parts!
-Hiya, Pop!
-Ohh!
How's the Big Coffee
Hands-On Experience goin'?
Okay, I guess, but cleanin' this thing
is a bit harder than I imagined.
Actually, I could really use your help.
Heh-heh, oh, no you don't, big guy.
I've got full confidence in you.
[clicks tongue]
Oh! Heh. Heck.
Hey, Tilly, how's the moppin'--
I-I mean, water drawing going?
You're just in time! Princess Clementine
and Prince Salvador just eloped!
[as Prince Salvador]
"Oh, my dearest Clementine,
let us smooch. Mwah!"
Aren't they just perfect for each other?
Great work, Tilly!
Just don't forget to erase
the whole floor now!
-You got it, brother!
-Fantastic!
[grunting]
Hey, Gramma!
Grindin' up those beans real good, huh?
Ha! You thought I couldn't
do it, but I'm showin' you!
Yes. Yes you are, madam.
Keep on at it, everyone!
I gotta go take my
state-mandatory
four-to-six-hour break now--
Whoa! [clears throat]
Against the law if I don't!
But I'll be back to join y'all after.
This is insane. You're just gonna let him
-lay around all day?
-[groans indifferently]
It's fine, because he convinced
his family to work for free?
[grumbles "Mm-hmm"]
Why didn't I bring my family?
You know they live really far away!
B-Besides, Bring Your Family
to Work Day isn't a real thing!
[heavy rumbling]
[gasps]
What the heck is that?
Oh, you mean my
Wholesome Foods Coffee Truck?
[laughs] Oh, never mind, it's just Chip.
What on earth are you doing?
Little lady, I am putting
Big Coffee out of business!
And then Cricket will have
to get a new job,
and the commute will probably
be really long,
and he will be so inconvenienced!
And how, exactly, do you plan on putting
Big Coffee out of business?
Sir! Are you looking for a coffee?
Oh! Yeah, I was just gonna
go in here and buy some.
No need! Greg, top him off!
Stop. Venti, venti.
Hey, buddy, you had enough?
[smacking lips] I have! Thank you!
Goodbye! [humming]
[evil laugh] Now, do that grandma!
Huh?
Thank you!
[evil laugh] I'll be here day and night,
caffeinating any thirsty customer
who comes close to this place!
And you'll be out of business
in less than a week!
Don't worry, Ms. Cho.
Chip's plan ain't gonna work.
[Chip] Uh, excuse me?
What do you mean, it's not gonna work?
Chip, you're a joke!
We all know how this goes!
First, you make a goofy little plan,
it fails, you chip your tooth.
And then I come out on top. Bingo bango.
I'm--I'm not a joke! You're a joke!
-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm yourself.
-Hello!
-Oh!
Just a heads-up, citizen.
You seem to have parked
next to a fire hydrant.
Ugh! Just give me a citation or whatever.
Sure! No sweat! Also, heads-up,
you're getting towed on account
of what I said earlier
about that fire hydrant.
What?! Wha-wha-whoa!
Whaa--! [groans]
Aah! [grunts, groaning]
Hey, is everything okay out he--
Oh, never mind, it's just Chip.
[groans] Is that all ya got? A tow truck?
[screaming]
Ha-ha! Is this where my plan fails
and I chip my tooth?
'Cause good luck!
I have titanium teeth now!
And they'll never-- [screaming]
I'm sorry to inform you
that I still haven't
chipped my tooth,
thanks to my indestructible--
[whistling] Told ya, Chip.
A nice one for my collection.
Good try!
[groans] Huh?
[screams]
[groans]
Cricket's right. I'm a joke.
[phone ringing]
-Chip?
-Hey, Dad.
Son, I hear you've been skipping out
on your CEO duties lately.
Yeah, I've been busy
trying to destroy the Gr--
Uh, a--a work problem!
Yeah, destroy a work problem!
Well, what's the holdup?
You're the boss now!
I know! It's just that
things always backfire on me.
You don't have to go it alone, son.
Put the company to work for you.
-The company?
-Wholesome Foods is yours now.
That comes with a lot of power
and resources.
Enough to take care
of any little work problem
that comes along. You're a CEO.
All you gotta do is start acting like one.
-Yeah
-Love you, son.
-Mm-hmm.
-[phone beeps]
Uh, hey, boss. Everything okay?
I have no need for you two anymore.
You're both fired.
-What?
-Get out!
Things are going to be
a little different from now on.
[evil chuckle]
The third quarter numbers
are looking favorable
-for the--
-[door opens]
Chip! So glad you could spare
a few minutes
out of your busy schedule to do your job.
Fair point. I've been too busy
chasing side ventures
to see the bigger picture.
But those days are over.
From here on out, I'm all in.
So get out of my chair.
Yes, Mr. Whistler.
We are at the dawn of a new era
for Wholesome Foods.
May I present to you all
my Wholesome Foods expansion plan.
Is everyone ready for day two
of Bring Your Family to Work Day?
[all groan]
Hey, c'mon, now! I expect my workers
to have a better attitude than that!
Workers? Has all this been some sorta ruse
to make us do your job for you?
What? You wound me, father!
I would never besmirch
the good name of
Bring Your Family to Work Day.
That's not a thing, is it?
All right, all right, you got me.
Gosh, I hope I grow up to be as smart
and perceptive as you, Father.
Oh! Well, shoot, Cricket, I--
Hey, stop that! I've had enough!
Let's all get outta here
and leave Cricket to his job!
Ah, dang it.
And what have you learned
from this, brother?
Tricking your family
only works for so long,
so enjoy it while it lasts.
Hello, Green family!
Hey look, it's Chip! What's the plan,
you gonna pry open the register
and knock out your front tooth?
Cricket, we've seen
his tooth do that already!
It's gonna be front tooth stays in,
but all the rest fall out around it.
Kids, please! It'll be a canine
or somethin' from the lower set.
My money's on a molar.
You guys are too funny.
I'd like to introduce you guys
to my new Wholesome Squad.
Well, hello, young man--
Aah! What the heck?!
Oof! Sir, I don't think
you're allowed to do that.
-[both] Dad!
-You leave him alone, Chip!
-Uh Ms. Cho
-[grunts]
Pause it for a sec, fellas.
Sorry about that.
They're just excited to get
a head start on dismantling.
Quit hidin' behind your goons,
and fight me yourself, coward!
-Yah! [grunting]
-Aw, Cricket.
Attacking an old friend isn't
very wholesome, now, is it?
That's enough, Chip. Either get out,
or we're calling the police.
Oh, there's no need for that.
True, I don't own the place yet,
but I will in about five seconds.
[grunts] Mmm!
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[grunting excitedly]
Peace out, my dudes.
Okay. Now, I own it.
Which reminds me,
you're all fired. Get out.
[all grunt, groan]
[pants] Okay, his plan is working,
but where's the part
where it backfires on him?
That's gotta be next, right?
Hey, Cricket! Thank you so much
for helping me get on the right track.
I'd have stayed the same forever
without your advice.
But I think my
Wholesome Foods expansion plan
will need a bit more space.
Who's a joke now? Adios, Cricket!
This ain't good.
Is he comin' after the house?
[nervous laugh] That would
really not be good!
Yeah, 'cause we still live in it!
I'm out of a job! How am I gonna pay rent?
Are we gonna lose our house?!
Chip has finally gone insane!
What the heck is going on?!
Chip can't win! It can't end like this!
And yet it just did.
[tense music playing]
