[chicken clucks]
Eh? Ehhhh?
Wow, so this was your Saturday.
And Friday.
No! Get that hideous monstrosity
out of my sight!
But Ma, I spent all weekend on this!
Not your dumb mailbox. I'm talking about that!
A van? What's wrong with it?
Just look at it!
Rusted tires, gawdy artwork,
political statements...
And worst of all, it's been parked
in front of my house for weeks!
I hate you van... I hate you!!
Ma, it's just a van.
It's not hurting you or anyone else,
so please don't do anything reckless...
[grumbles]
Now! If anyone needs me,
I'll be inside waiting for the mailman.
Ah, don't listen to him, Gramma.
You're right, this van is hoggin' our turf!
What if I wanted to skateboard right here?
Cricket, you've never once expressed
a desire to skateboard.
-Wel, -I'd still like the option.
The nerve of this creep.
Gaudy van, inconsiderate actions...
I know exactly his type.
- Yeah. Me, as well... - [fantasy tune plays]
[van vrooms]
[wicked laugh]
- Whoa! - [townsfolk] Whoa!
Ahh!
[tires screech]
Ooh! Look at me.
I'm an inconsiderate slob!
And I'm gonna leave my van here till the end of time!
[Cricket and Grammy] What a jerk!
Well, it seems like you two have a handle on this.
So if you'll excuse me, I need to go feed my koi fish.
Huh? Your fish?
How does she know it's shy?
Ah, forget it boy. We got bigger problems.
Time to call for backup!
Hey, Officer Keys!
Yes...?
How can I help you, ma'am?
This ugly van has been here for days!
I want you to tow it out of here!
Oh, I see. Hmm...
This van has definitely been here a while.
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help ya.
What? Why not?
Well, nobody's hurt, nothing's missing,
and this van is parked legally.
- Everything's above board! - That's too bad.
Sure would be a shame if some concerned citizens
took matters into their own hands.
That would be a real shame, because then those hands...
would be in handcuffs.
Welp, see ya! [grunts]
Gosh dang, is he flexible. Don't hate it though.
So what do we do now, Gramma?
Well there ain't no law against trying to find
the owner of this abomination.
But we'll have to be real subtle.
Is this your van? Hey!
Don't walk away from me. I...
Did you park here? Look me in the eyes!
- Look at me! - Look him in the eye!
She seems like a liar. I'm following her.
Mmmf! It's so good!
Is that your van over there?!
Mrs. Green, what the heck?!
I'm in my car right now! Why would I have two cars?
Why would you get an art degree?
Who knows why you do stupid stuff? Ahh!
Ugh, this is getting us nowhere!
And that van's still here. Mocking us...
This is my street, baby!
Neigh!
[screaming and grunting]
I hate this stupid van!
With its stupid doors!
Stupid tire cover!
Stupid, uh, whatever these things are! [grunts]
- We did it! - Yay!
We got rid of the van!
[man] Uh, excuse me, are you talking about a van?
Hi, uh, I'm Rick.
And I parked my van around here.
It's rusty, it has a tire cover, and the brakes are busted
so I put chocks on them. Have you seen it?
No.
Ugh, great. Now what am I gonna do?
Well, if it isn't Mr. Jerk himself!
He disgusts me.
Ah, guess I better call the cops.
No cops!
Because we'll help you find your van!
No, we won't!
Look, I don't wanna help this guy either,
but if he calls the cops,
Officer Keys will rain his justice down on us!
This spaghetti is too cold.
Taze time!
Che bella!
Fine we'll help you find your stupid-Oh!
Stupidly awesome van, Rick.
But why? It's not like it's your fault it's gone.
Ha ha! You are correct, sir!
It's just what considerate folks like us do.
Unlike you.
- Hmm? - Nothing!
Hot-cha-cha-cha...
Anyone see a van? My super cool van?
I can't believe we got roped into helping this jerk
Once we're done, we'll be in the clear
Oh, look!
Hmm... Something's telling me the van went this way!
[distant screaming]
[shuddering]
How did this happen?!
I could be wrong though.
Come on, let's get this over with.
- Ooh, one second. - Sure thing! Take your time!
Can you believe this guy?
We're trying to help him find his van,
and he's holding us up so he can "tie his shoes."
Ugh! Riiick!
Riiiick!
- Riiiiick! - Riiiiick!
- Oh, hey guys! - Ahh!
Oh, my gosh, Rick!
Don't sneak up on us like that!
Oh, sorry! I just got you guys a li'l somethin'.
Oh, uh... Thanks.
It's the least I could do.
Anyways, we should probably get a move on!
Huh. That was nice of him.
- Yeah... - Ahh...
Hey, put that down!
My doggie!
Don't let his hot dogs fool you!
He's still a van-loitering jerk!
- Ahh... - Focus up, boy!
Now, let's see where this trail leads.
- [chomps] - [Grammy] Cricket!
[grunts]
Are you hungry?
Oh, is that so?
Well, I brought bread! Here you go!
Mmm. It's so good right?
Marcus, don't talk with your mouth full.
That's weird, the tracks end here.
It's almost as if the van launched off this hill,
went airborne, and...
Oh, that's exactly what happened.
Aw jeez, how am I gonna get it down from there?
Well, at least we found it.
Thanks for your help. I guess the cops can take it from here.
Get in the hole! Get in the hole!
Listen, ball, there're worse places to be than in that hole.
Birdie!
[chuckles] No need for police!
We'll get your van down.
[screaming and grunting]
What's this tree made out of? Other swords?!
How's it going over there, boy?
[strains] I'm a child. This is a van.
What did you expect?
[groans] Nothing's working!
Huh? What are you doing?
Helping! I couldn't just let you two do this on your own!
- Hmm... - Hey, Gramma,
you think maybe we were wrong about Rick?
He doesn't seem so bad.
Don't let him fool you! If he's being nice,
it's just to hide his evil heart!
[all scream]
[grunt]
Aw, jeez, there it goes!
We gotta act fast! There!
This is fun, but I prefer mini golf! Oof!
Sorry, but we're borrowing this!
Hey!
[cars honk]
Wow!
Cricket, grab the van!
[strains]
Almost... got it... Huh?
Gramma, watch out!
[scream]
[all sigh]
It's gonna fly!
Pfft. Lame.
- Oh, dear. - [Rick] Oh, man!
- Oh, hi, guys! - Hi, Tilly!
Well, I guess we could still drag it out?
Oh, could we, Rick? Well, joy!
[chomps]
[narrator speaks in Japanese]
- [gasp] - [gulps]
[long burp]
[all] Ew! Aw, gross!
What?
Sorry, y'all. Marcus is one hungry boy.
Welp, I guess that's that!
This is something neither we, nor the police can fix.
I think I'll go home, sit on my porch,
- and enjoy my newly van-free view! - [chuckles]
[sobbing]
Ooh! He is very sad.
Yep, kinda killin' the vibe.
Okay! So long, Rick! Sorry again about your van,
but you know what they say: It... be like that sometimes...
- [chuckles] - Well, buh-bye!
Wait! Before you go, I... just wanna thank you.
A lot of folks would be mad or frustrated
with a van parked in front of their place for so long.
But even still, you guys helped me out during a tough time.
- We did? - Absolutely!
Y'see, my wife's been pregnant,
and the baby started to come early,
and there were no parking spots near the hospital.
So I parked my van in the closest place I could find.
Gramma, I'm feelin' kinda bad for Rick.
What should we do?
We go home and enjoy the view!
Oh, well. No point in moping around.
I gotta be resourceful!
I'm a father now!
Gramma, we gotta come clean...
Quiet boy, you're makin' me think too much!
[Claire] Honey, is that you?
[gasps] Family! I missed you!
Were you able to get the van?
No. And that's okay.
Because from now on, I'll be the van!
Oh, honey!
[Rick] Seatbelts, everyone!
Come on, Gramma! This is brutal...
Dang it, boy... You're right!
[both] We're so sorry!
It's our fault your van's gone!
I kicked away the chocks, and it flew down the hill!
- [Cricket and Gramma cry] - Whoa, hold on, what are you trying to say?
We hated you 'cause we thought you were a jerk!
But it turns out, we're the jerks!
We shoulda realized that everyone's got their own struggles
and deserves to be cut some slack!
- And that's why we're gonna make this right! - Yeah!
Wha... How? It's impossible!
Nothing's impossible for a Green!
- [scream] - Oh, my gosh!
This is bad! Marcus will consume anything that enters his domain!
[gurgling]
[grunting]
[van screeches]
[groans]
[both] Ta-daa!
My van!
I can't believe you would do this for us!
Well, you deserve it!
Despite what we first thought,
you turned out to be a pretty good guy, Rick.
Yeah, feel free to park in front of our place
whenever you like.
Aw, I really appreciate it.
Hey, I guess it's true what they say:
Little Tokyo, Big Fish!
[all laugh]
You're going on a diet.
