[Bill and kids] Wowwwww!

[Cricket] We didn't have restaurants like this back in the country!

I don't like it. Feels too city-fied!

That's the point!

I figured we'd all enjoy

a genuine Big City dining experience!

Plus I've got a gift card, so it's free!

Niiiiice.

Hi there! Welcome to Sea Fusion!

-Howdy! -Ooh!

Where are you all visiting from?

Visiting from?

[chuckles] Oh, no, we live here.

And we'll die here, too!

Cricket, please.

Alrighty then, if you'll follow me,

I've got a table for you.

What the heck kinda food is sea fusion?

It's takin' two different types of food and blendin' them together to make one.

Like if you put an egg on a donut?

Yeah, but with fish.

[gasps] I want it!

Here you are.

[all straining]

Here are your menus,

and your waiter will be with you shortly.

[Bill and kids] Ooooooh!

I'm gonna order the craziest, wackiest thing here!

That won't be hard. It's all garbage!

[man] Ow!

What kind of restaurant doesn't serve pizza?!

They do! In smoothie form!

See? The Shrimpy- Pizzy Smoothie.

Yuh! Pizza's for eatin', not drinkin'!

Huh?

What the...

Where have I seen that trident before?

Good evening, folks.

Have you decided on what you'd like to order?

Yes, I think I'll have the fish and chips.

Ah, yes, a popular dish for tourists.

No, now ya see, I'm not a tourist.

I live in Big City.

Oh, really?

Then in that case, you should order what all the locals order.

The Seafusion Tsunami!

A 12-course meal of our most creative sea-fusions.

Well, then, as a local, I will have that.

Very well. And for you, sweetie?

I will have the Seahorse Salad.

And I'll have the phony baloney or whatever.

Ah, fantastic.

Our phony baloney comes with two sides.

-Gaaaagh! -Listen, buddy.

I'm gonna shoot straight with you here.

The stuff on the menu looks a bit tame.

I'm lookin' for somethin' wild.

Off menu. You follow?

Oh, I follow.

Janine?

This gentleman will be having the Sea Monster Burger.

[gasps] Mm-hmm.

I'll be back with your drinks.

Did you guys hear that?! A sea monster!

Soon to be in my tummy!

That's it! I remember!

I knew that trident looked familiar.

It was mine!

-[thunder] -Back when I was sailing abroad,

my trusty trident and I tamed all manner of sea creature!

Until those protesters made us stop.

After that, it went missin'.

You all enjoy your dinner of wackadoo.

I'm gonna go get it back!

Ma, please don't cause a scene.

Here's your first course, sir.

Our sushi starter.

And here are your chopsticks.

As a local, surely you know how to use chopsticks.

Don't you?

Oh. Uhh... ha ha!

Of course! Thank you!

[struggling]

Ow!

Sir? I see you're having trouble.

If you like, we do provide a service.

Our trained chopstick professionals

can assist you in getting your food into your mouth.

It's a big hit with the tourists.

I think I'll be just fine on my own, thank you.

Of course!

[grunting]

Ha! I did it!

Not too bad, eh?

[groaning]

Many tourists are put off by the bitter jellyfish jelly,

but not us locals, right? [chuckles]

Mmmmmm!

Fantastic! I'll get your next course.

[gulps] Ohh!

Ohh, watchin' you eat is givin' me the hunger pains!

[Ted] Sorry for the wait. Here's your meal.

-Finally! -I hope you enjoy your...

Sea Monster Burger!

Well, I wanted to get wild.

So let's get wild.

Sorry, fella. Nothin' personal.

Food chain and what not.

Hm. Now let me see.

What's the best way to do this?

Ahhh...

Oh, no!

[struggling] Aah!

Aaaah!

I got you now!

-[slaps] -[grunting]

[groans] Aah!

[gasps]

You're showin' me mercy?

You're all right, sea monster!

How's your dinner, Cricket?

I eat him, Tilly.

This li'l feller's gained my utmost respect.

You've lost a meal, but you've gained a friend.

I shall call him Ringo.

From now on, all octopi are friends of Cricket Green!

Order up! One Sea Monster Burger!

[gasp] That could be Ringo's mom or dad or ex-girlfriend!

We have to go save 'em!

[grunts]

All right... time to sneak up and take it back,

sneaky style.

-[grunting] -[place settings clatter]

Time for baby to come home.

Whoa there! So sorry, ma'am!

But our decor is not meant to be played with.

However, if you're craving some fun,

we do offer some table-side entertainment!

-[egg sizzling] -[patrons] Ooh! Ahh!

Meh... Whatever...

I need a different approach.

Oh, boy.

All right, up next we have

our famous whole-wheat, whole-fish taco.

Wow, it really is an entire fish.

Uh-uh. Hold on.

We're supposed to cover it in our traditional fish-milk powder.

Who doesn't love fish-milk?

Ahh...

Oh, yeah. I love it.

[Ted] Your next course, our famous spagett-eel.

Just like Mom used to make.

[Ted] Our blow fish will surely blow you away.

Sooo good.

Huh?!

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.

But let's see if you can handle...

dessert.

I'll be back in a minute!

[whimpers]

Terry, will you hurry up and order already?

I've already got my food!

-Hello. -Oh, my gosh!

-I'm an employee. -Hello.

I'm here to tell you some fun facts about your meal.

Oh, my gosh, wonderful!

Isn't that wonderful, Terry?

Great! Let's get started!

Did you know octos are beautiful and cute?

[Alexander] Oh, my gosh, I had no idea.

-Uhhhh... -What is it?

Check out these diagrams! Aren't they great?

Aah! Oof!

Tilly! Let's go!

That concludes the presentation.

Thank you, bye!

Well, she was really sweet.

What the--?! Terry, why'd you eat all my octopus?!

[groaning]

You can do this, Bill.

You gotta show 'em you're just like everyone else in Big City.

Your dessert, sir.

-Voilà! -Huh?

The Seven Seas Seven-Layer Poseidon Slayer.

Good luck.

[gulps]

[both panting]

All right, Tilly, let's send 'em home!

Whoa there! These don't belong here!

They belong in the tank!

Tank!?

Oh, good golly, Tilly.

We've gotta save 'em all!

I'm comin' for you, trident.

[grunting]

Ooh! Are you a performer?

Is this a show?

You bet yer tuchus it is.

Yee-haw!

[patrons] Ooh!

Gotcha!

-Hey! -Biscuits!

Get back here!

Oooooh! Oof!

[groans] Huh?

[dramatic music stingers]

Oh, so you wanna fight, huh?

-Fight? No! -What are you...

I'll swab the deck with ya!

Aah!

[gasps] What the--

Where am I?

Huh?

Beautiful!

This place is so... peaceful.

[deep echoing voice] Bill...

Who said that?

I did.

Who are you?

I... am a fish.

Oh.

But who are you, Bill?

Well, I'm a fish, too.

Hmm. Are you sure?

I don't really know anymore.

Hey, there are a lot of different creatures in the sea.

Not all of us are fish, and that's okay.

It's our differences that make the ocean a wonderful place.

You don't have to change who you are to fit in.

I don't?

[gasps]

You fit in because you're different.

Wow. Thanks, fish!

Goodbye, Bill.

[gasping]

[coughing]

I belong in Big City!

All right! Be free!

We have granted your independence!

Good luck out there, you squishy sea spiders!

Hey... hey!

What the heck do you think you're doing?!

Excuse me, waiter?

I've got a bone to pick with you.

I came here wanting to try new things,

but instead I got treated like I don't belong.

Okay, fella, back to where you belong.

And that felt like a slap in the face.

Ooh! [straining] Yaah!

I don't need to change who I am to fit into Big City,

'cause I already fit in!

This is what you get for ruinin' pizza!

Ooh! [grunting]

So I'm proud to finally come clean and tell you.

I don't like the food here,

and I won't be finishing my dessert.

Because it's gross.

Well, good riddance!

The intricacies of sea fusion are wasted

on a country bumpkin like you!

[patrons screaming]

And another thing-- Aaah!

I shouldn't have...

put off those...

swimming lessons!

Bye, Ringo!

Wait. Bye, Ringo.

Hold on. Bye, Ringo.

Wheeeee!

[Cricket] Grab on!

We did it, Tilly!

We saved the octopuses!

We're hero-- My goodness.

[patrons gasping and groaning]

[woman] What just happened?

[groaning]

You and your family are banned for life!

I'm so sorry. I--

Get out!

[whimpers]

[all panting]

I guess we all learned an important lesson, right, family?

-[Tilly] I don't think so. -[Gramma] Nah, not really.

I saved an octopus.

This isn't even my trident after all.

But I'm keepin' it 'cause it's awesome.

Oh.

Well, you guys wanna go get some pizza?

Yeah!

All right, Tilly! Give me one straight down the middle and don't hold back!

-[grunts] -[grunts]

[Cricket] Home run!

Here's your latte, sir.

[both scream]

Oh, I am so, so sorry.

Come on, Jeffrey the scarf. We have a scathing review to write!

[Cricket] Did you see that, guys? [laughs]

I can't believe it! Home run!

I'm making critterball history!

[oinks]

[chuckles]

[both grunt]

[coughs] Good hustle, Tilly.

Thank you. Anything goes in critterball.

Man, I've been watching this game for about an hour and I still don't get it.

Go team!

Hey! You kids better keep these on your side of the fence!

And a good day to you too, Gloria!

Don't you "Good day, Gloria" me.

It would be a good day if this ball hadn't just torpedoed into the cafe!

Oh, no worries, home runs like that are super rare.

Besides, what's a critterball or two between neighbors?

Keep it on your side of the fence.

Obviously Gloria has no idea how important critterball is.

So... game on!

♪

[grunts]

[grunts, chuckles]

Uh-oh. Looks like we're all out of critterballs.

Let's go see Gloria!

Gloria!

Ooh, my...

Boy, I hope she ain't too mad.

Gloria! Just the person I was looking for!

Can we please have our critterballs back?

Excuse me?

Our critterballs!

Would be real nice to get them back!

Let me fill you in on a secret.

Okay!

I don't ever wanna see you or your stupid face again.

What the hey diddle diddle is her problem?!

Well, she did kinda ask us not to kick any more balls over the fence.

We kicked a lot of balls over that fence, Cricket.

I mean, sure, okay, if you wanna get technical about it.

She just needs a little convincing is all.

Just watch, a little charm from ol' Cricket Green,

and we'll have our critterballs back in no time.

-Well, hi, Gloria! -Get out.

Well, hold on now. I'm not here to cause trouble!

See? I'm a payin' customer!

Keep the change.

Okay... what'll it be?

Oh, some of that jitter juice.

You know, some of that mornin' thunder.

A little bit of the devil's bean brew.

All right, here's a cup of dark roast.

Oh, you know me so well.

[slurps]

[gags]

[gulps]

Neato.

Hmm...

Hey, I like your hat.

Every employee has one.

But that apron is all you, right?

Nope. Standard issue.

You got big teeth though, and that's good for spittin'!

Uh, excuse me?

Uh, uh, uh...

I like how you decorate!

What a fun antenna thingy!

Oh, no, no, no, don't touch that.

This is the Eiffel Tower.

Someday I'm going to live in Paris near the real thing.

Hmm...

Well, I don't know nothin' about Paris.

Tell me more.

Well, I've only ever read about it.

But simply put, everything seems better there.

The food is spectacular,

the art is unparalleled...

and the architecture is breathtaking.

[honks]

Bonjour.

It's a place where people are kind and poetic.

A place that recognizes true talent...

and embraces the romantic!

[speaking French]

I have no idea what you just said...

but yes, Marcel, yes, I'll marry you!

[speaking French]

This little reminder keeps me going.

Work now, fun later.

See now? This is great.

Look at us. We're connecting.

Now can we have our critterballs back, please?

Did you seriously just try to emotionally manipulate me into giving your critterballs back?

Uh...

Okay, okay, I can see your busy.

But if I could just get my critterballs back--

Oh, you'll get those critterballs back,

over my dead body!

Aah!

My spleen!

All right, here comes the pitch, Cricket.

[grunts] Ow!

Dang, that smarts.

Doesn't Gloria see how important critterball is to us?

-[sighs] -[hen clucks]

There, there, brother.

Here, eat this.

Uh, thank you.

How are we supposed to finish our legendary game?

[clucks]

Hey, you can't just take that--

That's it!

I tried bein' friendly and that got us nowhere.

If Gloria won't give our critterballs back,

then we'll just have to take 'em back.

All we need is a diversion.

Consider it done.

Rupert! You broke my heart!

Ugh, what now?

You put my heart in a meat grinder,

and then you shaped it into patties,

and ya threw 'em on the grill!

Well, I ain't just gonna stand here

and eat my heart burgers with no bun!

You held hands with my identical twin sister and I'll never forgive you!

What is this?

Yeah, I don't know, but I can't look away.

[evil laughter]

What do you have to say for yourself, Rupert?!

Uh... uh... line.

You can't even come up with your own apology?!

-[cat meows] -Shh, shh.

Come on, I need a do-over.

There are no do-overs in love!

Critterballs, critterballs...

If I was a bag of critterballs, where would I be?

Ah-ha! There you are!

[grunts]

Aah! Oof!

Rats! Gloria's one step ahead of me!

There's gotta be some way to get our critterballs back.

[evil laughter]

Bingo bango.

Out! Out, out, out, out, out!

[groans] Lousy kids.

Hmm? My Eiffel Tower?

My Eiffel Tower!

Where is it?!

-It's gotta be here somewhere! -Ow!

[bell dings]

Ooh.

[Cricket] Hello, Gloria.

It would seem that we both have something the other wants.

I propose a trade:

My critterballs for your antenna thingy.

It's called the Eiffel Tower!

Gloria.

Cricket.

May I see a critterball?

I need to know they're safe.

[groans]

See? Your stupid balls are fine.

Where's my tower?

Remy.

See, it's safe.

Oh, thank goodness. Now please, hand it over.

Uh-uh-uh-uh. Toss me a ball first.

Ugh, fine...

-Uh... -[gasps]

Oh, my gosh, Gloria, I'm so sorry!

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

You... You're a horrible, horrible little boy!

I didn't mean to, honest! It was an accident!

[groans]

Now, Gloria, we can--

Aah!

That's fair, I broke something of yours

and you broke something of mine.

So we're even now, right? Right?

Guys! This is bad! How did this get so bad?

I think it had something to do with you shattering that lady's dreams.

[gasps] The critterballs!

She's killing them!

We gotta put an end to this.

Assemble the team!

[rumbling]

[moos]

Gloria! Show yourself!

Cricket! Get those filthy, disgusting monsters out of the cafe!

-First of all, how dare you. -[moos]

Second of all, we'll leave just as soon as you give us back our critterballs.

Fine. You want 'em? You got 'em!

Uh-oh.

[groans]

Critters, attack!

-[bleats] -[gasps]

-[oinks] -[clucks]

-Hiya! -[grunts]

It's go time.

[grunts]

[yells]

[grunting]

-[grunts] -Whee!

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[grunts]

-Beans! -[groans]

Die!

Huh?

Ha! You're out!

Shoot. Guess I am.

Anyone else feelin' brave?!

[maniacal laughter]

You had a good run, Remy.

Aah!

[oinks]

[grunts]

End of the line, sweater vest!

No, no, no, no, no!

Aah!

Two down, one to go...

[bell dings]

[growls]

Uh, Ms. Boss! I mean, Ms. Cho!

I-I didn't think you'd be in today!

[growls]

-[grunts] -[clucks]

I can explain! I can fix this!

[growls]

No, please! You can't fire me, I need this job!

[Gloria] Without it, I'll never make it to Paris!

Paris! Paris!

Oh, my gosh. Paris and critterball are the same thing!

Please, just give me another chance!

Um, Ms. Boss Lady? Ma'am?

Listen, this is all my fault.

Gloria had nothing to do with it. Sorry, Gloria.

[Cricket] I got carried away thinking something I cared about

was more important than what you cared about.

So, Ms. Boss Lady, don't fire Gloria.

Instead, fire me!

Cricket, that's nice... but it doesn't make any sense.

No, listen! You could hire me and once I work off the damages, then ya fire me!

[inhales]

[exhales]

Yes! Oh, my gosh!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I got a job!

[growls]

[bell dings]

[grunts]

[bell dings]

Huh, I guess this makes us coworkers!

[sighs] Yep.

Here you go, sir. Thanks for stopping by Big Coffee.

[Cricket] Gloria. Hey, Gloria. Gloria. Gloria, over here.

[groans] What?!

Ta-da!

Le Eiffel Tower 2.0!

Oh, that's sweet.

Thanks, I thought you'd like it.

Mm...

I'll make another one! A better one!

Get back to work!
