[chicken squawks]

Here you go, sir.

One coffee with extra-fresh milk.

[moos]

Cricket, what are you doing?

This café is supposed to be a nice place,

and your constant shenanigans

are turning it into a laughingstock.

[chuckles] Oh, Gloria.

It's pronounced "livestock."

Ugh! You are impossible.

-[cow moos] -Go on, get out!

Why on earth would you bring a cow in here?

-[car horns honking] -Bringing farm animals into the café

is exactly what got you stuck

working here in the first place.

The man wanted milk, so I gave him some milk.

Ugh! Cannot wait until you're done

-working off those damages. -[Cricket groans]

Hey, you think I like working here with you

always hanging over me and telling me not to lick stuff?

Ooh! Ahh...

-Hey! -[Cricket straining]

Get a clue. You live in Big City now,

and it's time you start acting like it.

-[Cricket groans] -[door opens]

Sorry, but we're closing!

[gasps] Ms. Cho!

So, uh, what brings you in today, Ms. Cho?

-[grunts] -A coffee emergency?

-A what, now? -[grunts]

"There's a coffee bean shortage in Big City,

but a fresh shipment comes in tonight.

If you and Cricket can acquire

a sack of coffee beans for Big Coffee,

then Cricket's debt to the café will be...

-[both gasp] -Cleared?!

So, this means I won't have to work here anymore?

-[grunts] -Yee-haw!

-Sounds good to me! -Not as good as it sounds to me.

Oh, really? And what's that supposed to mean?

-Would you please clarify? -When have you ever been a model employee?

-[Ms. Cho grunts] -Yes, we're leaving.

-Okay, boss lady. -So sorry, Ms. Cho.

[Cricket] ♪ Freedom oh, baby, sweet freedom ♪

♪ I can almost taste the freedom ♪

You ain't free yet, kid.

[choking, grunting]

Don't celebrate until we actually have the beans.

Every coffee shop in town is going to be there.

It's gonna be a mad house.

Ooh! We should take the Silverway Bridge!

No way. It'll be packed with tourists.

Besides, only country rubes care about it.

But I've always wanted to see it!

I rest my case.

[Cricket groans]

[crowd clamoring]

All right, everyone, listen up!

There's only a few bags of coffee beans left,

but we've got a fair way of giving them out.

-Everyone for themselves! -[crowd clamors]

It's absolute chaos!

Chaos, huh?

I eat, breathe, and drink chaos!

Hi-yah!

[Cricket grunting]

Go, Cricket, go!

Yah! [grunts]

Gotcha! The last bag!

Hey, bruh, those coffee beans

are for my super hip, and thus overpriced café.

-Hand 'em over! -No way!

These beans are my ticket to freedom!

-Think fast! -What?!

Ha ha! Whoo-hoo!

Aah! Oof! What the--

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Cricket Green.

Well, well, well. If it is Chip Whistler.

I see you've gotten your tooth fixed again.

Yep! With an indestructible bonded polymer.

It's very toxic, but... [sing-song] worth it!

Thanks for snagging these for the Wholesome Foods in-house coffee bar.

Hey! Let go of my beans!

-[both grunting] -[Gloria] Hey! Hey!

That bag is property of Big Coffee!

-Oh, hello there, Ponytail. -Ponytail?!

Cricket, aren't you gonna introduce me?

-[Gloria grunts] -[Chip screams, grunts]

The name's Gloria. It's crummy to meet you.

Dang!

Where'd you learn that?

Tae Kwon Do.

City girls have to know

how to take care of themselves.

[sinister music]

I won't let you make a fool of me again, Cricket Green.

Wholesome Greg, Wholesome Rose,

upsies!

We're going after Cricket Green

and that bag of beans.

Now, get to the chopper!

Oh, we don't have a chopper.

We're a small to mid-size organic supermarket--

Fine, Greg. We'll take the van.

-Oh, man, I can't believe we actually did it. -[Gloria] That was so cool!

All right! Whoo-hoo!

We're home free, Gloria! I never have to work

-at the café again! -Heck yeah!

Ahh, looks like our troubles are--

Huh?

-Right behind us! -[screech, crunch]

Those beans are mine!

It's that creep again.

[tires squealing]

-Take the sidewalk! -What? No!

Cut through the plaza!

Oh, you missed it! Make a J-turn!

Ah, don't you know how to drift?

What? Should I crash

through a fruit stand, too?

Hey! Those farmers

work hard to grow that fruit!

[tires screeching]

I guess we lost 'em.

Looks like I know this city

better than you, after all.

Gotcha now, Cricket.

[both screaming]

[screaming continues]

-Aah! -We're gonna hit a cat!

-Aah! -Aah! There's even more cats!

[baby cooing]

-Aah! -Why is there a baby now?

Not my fault you didn't stick the landing.

Come on, we gotta get out of here.

You said you knew the city.

Don't lose your beans.

I know a place.

Oh, you won't get away that easy.

Yeah, they will. Look.

See? There they go. Pretty easy.

Also, are we being paid overtime for this?

Not a good time, Greg!

[keys jingle, parrot squawking]

We'll be safe in here.

Whoa, what is this?

Some sort of hipster hideout?

No. This is my apartment.

-Huh. -What?

It's a little small.

Well, a barista salary

doesn't go very far in Big City.

No wonder it's taking me so long to work off my debt.

I gotta call my auto insurance

and see if I'm covered for hillbilly hijinks.

Ooh, a parrot!

I'm gonna teach you that word

that Gramma said the other day.

-[inhales deeply] -[parrot squawks]

I'm lonely! I miss home!

[chuckles nervously] Must've gotten that

from a movie or something.

Uh, oh, yeah. Of course.

Ugh! I'm on hold.

Hey, don't look at that!

[Cricket reading]

You're not from here?

I thought you grew up in Big City.

[sighs] I didn't move here until after college.

I'm from Bedford Park.

-Where's that? -It's the suburbs.

Just some boring little place no one's ever heard of.

When I was growing up, I always wished

I were from some place more interesting

like Big City, or Paris.

But the truth is, I'm not.

[parrot squawks] Gotta buy more ice cream.

Can't believe I ate it in one sitting again.

-Good night! -I don't get it.

If you're not from around here,

why are you always coming down so hard on me

for being from the country?

I guess because... I work hard to fit in,

but you don't, and yet, you just fit in.

[sighs] Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, Gloria, yeah, probably.

But hey, you had me fooled.

I thought for sure you were from Big City.

-Thanks, Cricket. -[Chip] Cricket!

We know you're around here!

Bet you thought you could hide.

Too bad you left a bean trail

that led me right to ya.

So why don't you just hand over the coffee beans?

-Aah! -[Lloyd] Quiet! I got work in the morning!

We're gonna need a new ride.

Quick, gimme your phone.

I know just who to call.

Have you ever used a cell phone before?

Gloria, I know what I'm doing.

Make it do numbers.

[mysterious music]

I came as soon as you called.

Thanks, Tilly. We're in a bit of a tight spot.

Well, I got just the thing.

Here she is.

-Ta-da! -[bleats]

-Whoa! -Whoa!

One goat power, one sheep power,

and zero horsepower.

You done good, Tilly.

Now it's my turn to drive.

Tilly! You coming?

No. This is as far as I go.

Tilly, wait! Chip and his goons are out there!

Exactly. You're gonna need a distraction.

-Oof! Tilly! -It's too dangerous!

Don't worry about me!

Just get those beans home safe.

Come on out, Cricket!

You can't hide forever!

Tilly... Tornado!

-[Tilly panting] -Uh, what is she doing?

[Cricket grunts] Ha ha!

[Chip] That was them! Let's go, people!

Works every time-- Aah!

Gloria, I've got a plan.

Which way to the Silverway Bridge?

I told you, it's always gridlocked.

Gloria, give this country boy a chance.

Ugh! Fine! Left at the light.

-[Chip] Surprise! -[both] Aah!

I'll take those.

-[Gloria] Hey! -[both grunting]

Gloria!

What's a city girl like you

doing with this country bumpkin, anyway?

Actually, why don't you come work for me

-at Wholesome Foods? -Huh?

-Watch out! Median! -[Chip, Gloria] Whoa!

Come on! City people should stick together.

We're almost to the bridge!

So, what do you say, Gloria?

Sorry, Chip. I'm no city girl.

I'm from the suburbs.

Whoa!

-[grunts] -Oof!

[groaning]

Aah! My tooth!

My tooth!

[laughs] Nice!

Where'd you learn that?

Youth soccer.

Cricket, the traffic!

I know. Hyah!

Quick, after them!

We're not gonna make it!

[Gloria] It's too narrow!

We're gonna make it! Hyah!

Yah! Yah! Ha ha!

Woo-hoo!

[drivers clamoring]

Bingo bango.

We did it!

[both] Whew!

Pretty cool bridge.

Yeah, it ain't bad.

One of these days, Cricket Green,

I'm gonna run your family out of this town!

Mark my words!

Big City is no place for the Greens!

I don't think he can hear you.

-Like, they're already gone. -Shut up, Greg!

And then she kicked the bag out of his hands,

and he was all like, "Aah! My 'toof'!"

And he starts weaving past cars

like, "Zoom, zoom, zoom!"

She was like some kind of superhero or something!

-[Ms. Cho grunts] -[Gloria] You were, too!

-[grunts] -Huh? What's this?

I paid off my debt?

Oh, right.

I guess I don't work here anymore.

[Ms. Cho] Mm-hmm.

Cool. Well, I guess you're free then.

Yeah... [chuckles] So are you.

Great. We got what we wanted. [chuckles]

So, uh, I guess this is goodbye.

-Huh? -[cup shatters]

-Cricket! -What? That was you!

-I didn't do-- -Cricket, cut it out!

Oh! I get it.

Hmm?

-[items crashing] -[angry grunt]

Whoopsies! Did I get a debt again?

Ms. Cho, I tried to stop him!

Destructive scamp!

[angry grunt]

Woo-hoo! The dream team is back together.

Aw, yeah!

With that level of property damage,

you're gonna work here forever.

Woo-hoo! Forever!

[chuckles] Forever.

[chuckles] Wow.

[both chuckling nervously]

[both sigh]

All right, I think I've lined up the perfect shot.

Okay, it's ready!

Remember, Cricket, you aim with your eye,

but you shoot with your heart.

-Cricket! -Aah!

Almost, Cricket!

Cricket, what are you doing?

You're supposed to be brushing the dog.

The old girl's shedding like crazy!

[coughs]

Dad, I'm busy.

She's your responsibility,

and I've been asking you to do it for days.

[sighs] All right, fine.

Your turn, Remy. Don't shoot your eye out.

-Okay. -All right, Phoenix.

Here comes a good brushing.

Three brushes ought to do it.

One... [grunting]

-[glass breaks] -[Remy] Aah! My eye!

Oh, for Pete's sake. Remy, I'm coming!

I love you.

[sniffing]

Hey, do you think this thing would work

if we loaded it up with turnips?

I don't know. Let's find out.

-[Phoenix sniffing] -[Remy, Cricket laughing]

[inquisitive bark]

[resumes sniffing]

[Bill] Cricket, have you fed the dog yet?

[Cricket] I'm doing it!

Come on, Phoenix! [whistling]

That's weird. She always comes running when she hears her food.

And by running, I mean waddling.

Boy, oh, boy, is she old!

[laughs]

-Let's go find her. -We should probably go look for her.

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Come here, girl!

[grunting]

Dang head's getting bigger.

Well, she ain't on the roof neither.

Cricket, I'm starting to worry about Phoenix.

Do you think she's okay?

Oh, yeah, she just wandered off.

She used to do this all the time in the country.

What if she's out in the city and can't find her way home?

Nah, she and I have a special connection.

Like an owner-pet psychic link.

I'll be able to find her anywhere. Let's go!

-Phoenix! Come here, girl! -We got food for ya, Phi-Phi!

Hello, have you seen my dog, Phoenix?

She's a good dog...

...and well, she seems to have wandered off,

and I'm hoping you or one of your...

...work associates may have seen her!

[Tilly] I don't understand why she'd run off.

She loves it at our place.

Why, just today you gave her

a good brushin', didn't ya, Cricket?

Yeah, kinda.

Maybe she just got a little confused.

After all, she is pretty old.

How long have you had her?

Oh, I've had her just about

as long as I've been alive.

Back in the country,

when I was just a wee babe,

one summer night our barn was hit by lightning

and burned right to the ground.

Mom let me play in the ashes, which was super fun,

but to everyone's surprise, she found a little black puppy.

The pup was all alone, and by some miracle had survived.

And when we washed her off, wouldn't you know it,

she had been red the whole time!

My mom named her Phoenix,

and gave her to me as my first pet.

Phoenix and I were inseparable.

Goofin' off together,

and growing up side by side.

We've been each other's best friends

-our entire lives. -[chuckles] Neat story, Cricket.

What the heck?! I thought I was Cricket's best friend!

Neat story.

-[Phoenix barking] -[gasps] That sounds like

Phoenix!

[sniffing]

See, I told you we'd find her.

She just got a little lost, is all.

Phoenix!

Wha-- Hey, where you going?

[barks]

-Phoenix? -[Phoenix barks]

Phoenix!

[panting] Wait!

Phoenix!

Phoenix, don't go!

[panting, barks]

[panting]

What's the matter with her?

Uh, I don't know. It's like she

couldn't get away from me fast enough.

Did I do something wrong?

Did we lose our owner-pet psychic link?

Does Phoenix not like me anymore?

[light buzzing]

Cricket, it's getting late.

Yeah, maybe we should get Papa and Gramma's help?

[sighs] Yeah, okay.

[Cricket] I messed up real bad, Dad.

I had a good, sweet pupper, and now she's gone.

Aww, don't beat yourself up, son.

With all of us out there searching for her,

we'll find Phoenix no matter what.

Well, let's not make any promises you can't keep.

Ma, come on.

[Cricket] Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Come on, girl, where are ya?

[sighs]

You okay, son?

Nope. I'm a bad seed, Dad.

Time to return me to whatever baby farm you got me from,

and pick out a new boy.

Uh, that's not how it works.

[clears throat] Remember when you were little, Cricket?

You would try to ride Phoenix like a little horse.

[chuckles] She didn't like it much,

but that didn't stop you from trying.

I remember when I was little...

...and couldn't sleep.

I'd curl up with Phoenix

in her dog bed...

and we'd share her treats.

[laughs] Remember that, Cricket?

And I remember when--

Yeah, good story, Remy.

I don't care much for her yappin',

but you know, it's nice having someone

in the house older than me.

In dog years, anyway.

[laughs] Yeah!

Hey, you got any good

Phoenix stories, Cricket?

Well, there was this one time.

I went out to the woods to dig a hole.

Last summer I was really into digging holes.

I love digging holes!

I was gonna dig my deepest hole yet...

and I succeeded!

Actually succeeded too well,

and got myself stuck.

Help!

I was stuck in that dang hole for hours!

Until...

[Phoenix barking]

Phoenix arrived!

Phoenix, I'm so happy to see ya!

Go find help, girl! Go!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

[groans]

She never was the brightest dog.

But she sure was the sweetest.

[laughs] You remember that, Dad?

I thought I'd lost my boy.

How'd you end up finding us, anyway?

Well... [clears throat]

Phoenix shed so much that she left

a fur trail right to you.

We just followed the trail.

You followed a trail of fur?

[gasps] Dad, turn this truck around!

I know where we gotta go!

Come on! We have to see

if there's still a trail.

Look! Phoenix's fur!

She's not gone yet!

-Let's go! -All right!

More fur this way!

[all cheer]

I found dog prints!

-Woo-hoo! -Yeah!

Uh, I think this is hers.

-You bet it is! -[both] Yeah!

Fur trail ends right here.

Well, what are y'all waiting for?

She's gotta be in there!

-Ugh! -Sorry, kid.

-Bikers only. -What? Get outta my way!

-I'm going in there! -Cricket, stop!

Let me talk to him man to man.

Listen, pal, you're gonna let my boy in, or else.

Or else what?

Or else...

Nothing. Listen, I'm not a fighter.

I just wanna look tough in front of my boy.

Thanks for the distraction, Dad.

-What? -Cricket!

-Phoenix! -[all grumble]

-Hey, get back here! -Phoenix?

-Phoenix? -No, my name's Randy.

Phoenix, where are you, girl?

-Come on out! -Aah!

Cricket, come back!

-[bikers grumbling] -Aah!

Mm.

What do you think you're doing here, kid?

This place is for bikers only.

What am I doing here?

I'll tell ya what I'm doing here.

I'm looking for my dog!

She's lost.

Or maybe--

maybe she ran away.

Maybe she ran away because I took her for granted.

I didn't always pay her the attention she deserved.

Maybe not brushing her today was the final straw.

But if I could just find her,

and show her that I love her,

maybe she'd wanna stay with me again.

[bikers crying]

Nothing's as pure as the relationship

between a kid and their dog.

I remember my first dog!

This makes me sad and angry

and I don't know how to deal with that!

[frustrated grunt]

So, what's your dog like?

Well, she's hard to put into words,

but if I had to, I'd say majestic,

-spry, and beautiful. -[needle buzzing]

Does your dog look like this?

No, sorry. I probably should've described her physically.

She's mostly old and red.

Old and red? There was a dog like that

whimpering outside earlier.

[gasps] Yes! Yes, that's her!

Where is she?

Well, somebody took the dog.

She's gone now.

Wait, what?

I can't believe it.

Phoenix was dog-napped?

She could be anywhere in the city by now.

Or even farther!

I'm sorry, Cricket.

The trail ends here.

[sighs] Hey, bud.

We're gonna make posters,

and we're gonna keep lookin', but it's late.

We'll start first thing in the morning.

It'll be okay.

[Cricket crying]

[crying]

Oh, Phoenix.

[crying]

[Cricket, Tilly crying]

[Remy whimpers]

She's gone, and it's--

it's my fault.

And I should've--

I should've brushed her like you said.

[crying]

Oh, come on, boy.

There's no... sense in crying.

[crying]

Son, are you gonna be okay?

I just can't believe Phoenix is gone.

It's almost as if I can still hear her barking.

Well, son, sometimes when we lose someone we love,

it's as if we can still hear th--

No, I hear her barking!

I'm coming, Phoenix!

[Bill groans]

Phoenix? Phoenix!

Oh, great. The boy's got sorrow madness.

Phoenix, I'm sorry!

I should've cared more.

I-- I should've noticed when you wandered off.

I promise I'll always appreciate you and brush you

and feed you and brush you, and do anything you need!

So, please, just come home, Phoenix!

[panting, barks]

Phoenix!

Well, I'll be!

[panting]

Oh, Phoenix! I love you, I love you, I love you!

-Phoenix! -Wowie Zowie!

Oh, I missed you so much, girl!

-Good girl! -Good dog!

[Gramma] That's a good dog.

You're gonna get so many brushes.

I'm gonna brush you silly.

From now on, I'll always enjoy our time together.

[Phoenix choking]

Sorry! Too much, too much.

Friends? [laughs]

Pretty odd for Phoenix to just disappear like that.

Yeah, I wonder where she went.

I guess we'll never know.

-[sniffing] -[kids laughing]

[whimpering]

[barking happily]

Well, at least your whole family

is back together again.

-[motorcycle humming] -[Cricket] Huh?

Looks like somebody lost their dog.

Good thing she tracked me down.

Well, look who finally got out of jail.

Hey, kiddos.

-Mom! -Mom!
