Ravens Home Hmm, ahh!
You got a fever all right.
That's what happens
when you share your popsicle with the dog.
How dare you, Dad.
Phoenix is our steadfast protector.
She deserves a treat now and then.
[Phoenix] Hmmm.
-Family, you heeded my call. -We're here, brother.
Quick, tell us what you want
before you give us the plague.
[coughing] Family, as you know,
today I am unable to perform my normal duties
due to this accursed sickness.
You must go in my stead.
-Well of course, son. -We'd do anything to help.
Tilly, I need you to work my shift at the café.
I'll be the best Cricket I can be.
[Cricket] Good luck, sweet sister.
Now, Gramma, I beckon you.
You must hang out with Remy.
Remy?! Who's that?
He's my best friend.
You know, glasses, wears a sweater vest.
He's standing right behind you.
Hi, Mrs. Green!
Aww him?! That boy's no fun!
He's softer than creamed corn.
Hey! I love creamed corn!
Today's going to be so much fun!
We're going to spend the whole day together.
Oh, joy.
Dad, come closer.
What is it, my boy?
I saved the most important task for you.
I promised a bunch of kids
I would go to the dog park...
Yes, yes.
And run around with my pants full of hotdogs and baloney.
-Bleh! -What?!
But then the dogs would try to bite you.
Exactly. Bleh!
Why on earth would you promise to do that?
Because... I don't know.
-[sneezes] -This is ridiculous!
I'm not doing it, Cricket.
But Dad you have to go.
I promised!
[sighs] Fine.
I'll go to the dog park, but only to tell those kids
not to encourage such weird behavior.
I am definitely not shoving hotdogs in my pants, hm?
Hmmm.
Atta girl!
Hello, gorgeous.
Keep rockin' that smile.
Good morning, Gloria.
Tilly? Where's Cricket?
I am Cricket!
And there's no way to prove otherwise.
Well that sounds like a minefield.
Anyway, Ms. Cho, the owner, is giving employee evaluations.
And she is really heard to please.
[grunts]
[sobbing]
Despite that, she's made me employee of the month
for two months straight.
And now I'm gunning for three.
Nothing like a little corporate validation
to keep you going. Ha-ha!
So far, it looks like I got this in the bag.
So don't mess this up for me.
Don't worry, Gloria.
I'll be a better Cricket than even Cricket can be!
Well, here we are...
Trampoline Zone!
Wheeeee!
I've always wanted to come here.
Well, why didn't you?
I guess I was a little intimidated,
but Cricket said he'd help me through it.
Eh, spoonfeeding you isn't exactly
my idea of a good time.
Go one, creamed corn, you'll be fine.
-Ha-ha-ha-ha! -Ow!
Ummm...
I could really use a jumping buddy.
-Would you want to-- -Nah.
You know, in a situation like this,
Cricket usually helps push me out of my comfort zone.
Oh, you need a little push?
-Yeah! -Here ya go!
Ahhhh!
Oh-- Oh no!
Have fun now. Or whatever.
Go fetal, Remy. Protect your core.
[dogs growling]
I don't see him anywhere.
I knew he'd chicken out. What a wimp.
Uh, excuse me kids.
Oh hey, it's Cricket's dad!
Mr. Green, have you seen Cricket?
He's home sick. And that run he promised
isn't happening today, tomorrow, or ever.
What a letdown.
I was gonna film it on my phone and everything!
[Cat phone] Kawaii neko no denwa! Meow!
What? I'm sorry kids but I'm just not
a supporter of shenanigans.
Which one of you put Cricket up to this anyway?
None of us. He wanted to do it.
He did? Why would he wanna do that?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! That's what it is.
That's not even an answer.
Look, the run isn't happening.
[Cricket] Yes it is!
I am Cricket Green!
And sick or not, I'm gonna do that run!
-[gasp] -There it is.
Hello, Ms. Cho.
I brought you your favorite tea,
which I hope you'll keep in mind when making your decision.
Anyway, which headshot do you think I should use
for my employee-of-the-month photo?
Flirty? Or patriotic?
[grunts]
Mike? Your order's ready!
I've got your 3D latte foam caricature right here.
Wow! It looks just like me!
Have a nice day! Oh hey, Gloria!
I finished all the chores on your list.
What should I do now?
I dunno, just do everything to these headshots.
Is this one too flirty?
Is that even possible?

Hi!
[satisfied groan]
[grunts]
Uh... I hope this doesn't cause problems.
Ughhhhhh...
I can't believe it.
I've won that award every month
since the real Cricket started working here.
I was a winner for once.
It's kind of all I had.
Poor Gloria.
I guess I haven't been the best Cricket I can be.
Wait! I know just how to fix this!
Guh, even the bathroom's got trampolines in it.
[screams]
[Remy] Mrs. Green, help!
Remy, what're you doin' up there?
I can't do this without Cricket!
Ugh! I don't know what Cricket sees in this kid.
Hang on, creamed corn!
Gramma's comin'!
ies! Here comes Cricky!
[Bill] Cricket, stop!
Help me understand, son.
Why is this so dang important to you?
It's just who I am!
I told these kids I'd do a thing,
and now I gotta do the thing!
[sighs] There's no way I can talk you outta this?
[coughs] No.
Cricket, I don't always understand you,
but you're trying to follow through on a promise
and that I understand.
Huh? Dad, what are you doing?
This is a one-time deal.
[gasps]
[howling]
Okay, Dad, all you gotta do
is make it to the flagpole and back.
Think you can do it?
(confident) Heh. Heh-heh-heh.
Maybe.
This is for Cricket Green!
Yaaah!
-[Cricket] Go get 'em, Dad! -[Kids] Whoa!
Terp, terp.
-Whoa! -[barking]
[groans] Yeah!
Huh? Aah!
I'm doing it!
Okay girl, we're here!
Everyone said a two-hundred-pound dog
was too much pup for a little guy like me,
but I sure showed-- Hnng--aaahh!
Whoa, no!
Uhhh...
[growling]
He's not gonna make it.
He's my dad. He'll make it.
I'm not gonna make it. I'm not gonna make it!
[Bill screaming]
I made it? I actually made it!
[growling]
They've gone mad with meat fever!
Run!
Whoa! Mrs. Green?
You're here to save me?
Nope! I'm taking pity on you.
Time to learn how to bounce.
-What? -Now, c'mon, creamed corn!
[Remy] Okay--whoaaa!
Lead with your feet!
You gotta time your jumps... like this!
Yeah, okay!
Follow my lead!
Uhhh wahhh!
Aaah! Hmphh!
-Geez, kid, you okay? -Yeah, this is great.
Well, I'm impressed. You're resilient.
I respect that.
Now, there's one last thing I wanna do,
but I can't do it without a buddy!
A jumping buddy?
-Hee-hee, whee! -[Gramma] Death from above!
Ahhh!
Oh my gosh, that was so awesome!
Can we go again?!
Uh... no, let's get outta here.
Quick.
Y'know, Remy, I think I finally get
why Cricket likes you.
You're pretty fun to hang out with.
When you're with a Green you're in for a wild time!
[Bill] Ma! Remy! Run!
-Run for your lives! -[growling, barking]
Too wild! Too wild!
No, Ms. Cho, you can't leave yet.
I deserve to be employee of the month.
Please hear me out.

Hrng? Hrmmm...
Ah, it's good to be back.
But I don't get it, Tilly. You had it all!
Why'd you give it up?
I realized Cricket's job isn't to be a good employee.
It's to make you look better by comparison!
Huh, that's kind of a harsh thing to learn about yourself,
but I guess I appreciate Cricket a little more.
-Then my job here is done. -No it's not.
You still have three hours left on your shift.
This is what Cricket would've wanted.

You did pretty good on that run, Dad.
Thanks, son. It was actually kind of a rush.

[Cricket] I am the tomato-nator.
The red destroyer.
And I.
Will. Not.
Stop!
[Bill] Ah!
Nice day for the farmers' market!
Our tomatoes are gonna fly off the shelves.
Especially with my expert marketing techniques!
No one can resist the allure of a sign.
And I came up with the tomato prices.
We're gonna be rich.
No, sweetie!
We're not one of those corporate stores that gouges people.
That's the whole point of the farmer's market.
To have a place for the little guys.
I didn't come here for all this tomato talk!
I came here to find a pepper so hot
it'll be worthy of my 10 Alarm Chili.
I'd be happy to show you where the pepper farmers--
[Gramma] We're leavin' now!
Oh! All right, Ma!
You two stay outta trouble!
And take care of the booth!
You got it, big guy!
I shall defend the booth with my life if I have to!
I will strike down any foes who dare cross our path!
Well, look who's minding the booth.
Chip Whistler?!
That's right, green beans. It's me, Chip Whistler!
Manager of Wholesome Foods Grocery Store
and modern Renaissance man.
Last time I saw you, didn't you chip your tooth
Uh, yeah, thanks to you..
But a quick trip to the dentist,
and these babies are as good as new.
Good ol' -Shhhh.te resin..
What are you doing at the farmers' market anyway?
I'm here with Wholesome Foods' brand-new "market booth"...
and I just wanted to come around and see my competish.
What? Wholesome Foods is a grocery store.
He can't sell here.
Huh, that's weird. 'Cause I already am.
That's business, kid. Nothing personal.
Well, kind of is. Smell ya later.
Grrr. Tilly, we have to stop Chip!
Papa told us not to get into any trouble!
Tilly, Dad told us to protect the booth!
The farmer's market is for the little guy.
We need to take him down before he takes us down.
You make a solid argument.
I'm in. But we have to do this smart.
I'll get into character.
Ah the pepper district.
If you want to find a hot pepper,
this is where you find it.
Hush yer mouth! Target acquired.
Free sample? Free spicy pepper sample?
Gimme that! [gnoshing]
You call this spicy?! You're fired!
[chuckles] Don't worry, she can't fire you!
At least I don't think she can.
-Sample some scorchers? -Mmm, mediocre.
-Hottest peppers on the market. -Baby food.
-These will burn you right up. -Forgettable.
You gotta be kiddin' me.
Isn't there anyone out here who can bring the heat?!
Did somebody call for heeeeeeat?
-What the-- -I'm goin' with him.
Step right up to Wholesome Foods!
And don't worry, everybody...
There's plenty of room back here for all of your money!
Oh thank goodness!
[Cricket] Attention Wholesome Foods customers!
Put down your wads of cash!
I come bearing terrible news!
Wholesome Foods produce is haunted!
So head on over to Green Family Farms!
We're not haunted!
-[mimicking ghost] -[gasps]
Beware! Bewaaa-- Oof!
Thank you.
[Tilly] I am the ghost of Mrs. Wholesome!
I've come back to teach you
the true meaning of Christmas...
and also to haunt your food!
Haunted. Haunted.
You're really haunted.
Clearly this is a little girl wearing a bed sheet!
I can't eat haunted food.
My nutritionist would kill me.
Are you kidding me? She doesn't even have eyeholes!
All right, Cricket. You wanna play like that, huh?
Come, come. I'll take you to the real pepper market!
I'm not so sure about this, Ma.
Don't dawdle, Billy boy!
I'm home, sweeties!
Welcome to my piquant pepper palace!
Looks like we've got a discount
on the curly goblin feet peppers!
I think these wailing jalapenos are calling out for you!
Those are some of my special super spicy boys!
Go ahead and try one.
Hmph. A tingle.
Is that the best you have to offer?
You holdin' out on me, boy?
Where are you hiding the good stuff?
[gasps] Finally, a worthy palate.
I have just the thing.
Step right up! We've got tomatoes for everyone.
Folks, Wholesome Foods has just partnered up
with Japanese yuru-chara icon, Tomato-san!
Dance, Tomato-san, dance!
Ooooh!
Ladies and gentlemen, wait! If you don't buy our tomatoes,
my poor sister won't be able to afford her accordion lessons!
How will I ever learn to polka?
Aww.
Tomato-san, you're fired!
All right, kid, that's enough.
Let's talk this through!
What's there to talk about
besides getting you out of this farmers' market?!
-You greasy snake. -Rat boy!
-Two-faced goblin! -Barefoot...
Overalls... kid?
Shallow jerk face, cool-guy wannabe, no-good swindler!!
Oooooh!
-Uh, uh, umm... That's it. -What ya doin', Chip?
Calling your mama?
I'm calling in Protocol C!
And the "C" stands... for coupons.
Huh?
Coupons?!
Coupons!
[All] Coupons!!!
[chuckling] I think I'll set up another booth...
and another!
I won't stop until this whole farmers' market
is Wholesome Foods!
If you want a war, Chip, then you've got one!
So you want to try my most powerful pepper, do you?
Just say the magic words: Schmibitty beeeee!
Hotter than seven thousand suns...
Behold! The sultan pepper!
Even looking at it is enough to make a lesser man's eyes water!
[panting] He's right!
It truly is the spiciest pepper!
NYA HA HA HA HA HA-- Huh?
Oh, No!
No one's ever eaten the whole thing!
Someone call a mouth doctor!
Aw geez, I'm going to have to move cities again.
Huh?
Zesty.
My word...
You are more than a follower of the heat.
You are the heat incarnate!
Here! Take my whole supply of sultan peppers.
I bestow them unto you.
Heck yeah!
Cricket, are we on the same page here?
Is this still about protecting papa's booth?
Of course. The best defense, is a good offense.
Don't worry, Tilly, we'll get 'em.
Farmers of the market.
Wholesome Foods is trying to take us little guys down.
But this is our turf!
That small boy's gotta point!
-We should do something! -Something drastic!
-Money, please. -Here comes my cash!
Wholesome Foods is the armpit
and we are the deodorant!
-Rally the troops. -Yes, sir.
His army is mobilizing as we speak.
Now is the time...
To rise!
If you think you scare me, kid...
then you've got another thing coming!
Oh, this is not going to end well.
-[bell tolls] -[screaming]
[both] Grrrr... Get him!
[war cries]
Ow!
Aaaaahh!
-Ha! -Grrr.
-Huh?! -Aaugh!
Ha! Didn't hit me doesn't count!
That so counts!!
You were meant for better things.
[screaming]
I am the tomato-nator.
The red destroyer.
And I. Will. Not. Stop!
Cricket, stop. What are you doing?
You've become caught in a petty cycle
of revenge and one-ups-man-ship!
You're right...
and I need to break out of it by defeating Chip!
No! That's not it!
You can only break the cycle by deciding enough is enough.
But Tilly, we have to save the farmer's market.
The little guys depend on it!
Cricket, look!
This pointless fighting isn't saving the market.
It's destroying it!
Ughhhhh.
Ohhhh.
I can't afford... dry cleaning.
Eh.
[gasps] Our booth.
Tilly, you're right. I've gone too far.
Where are you going?
I'm going to make this right.
Get me more tomatoes!
[Cricket] Chip Whistler!
Chip, I don't like you and you don't like me.
But this fighting can't go on.
[gasps]
We need to set aside our pride
before both our businesses are destroyed.
Will you join me?
Really?
No tricks, no tomatoes behind your back?
No, sir, only my honest hand.
[deep voice] Good.
Huh? Aaaaugh!!!
Ha-ha, sucker! Chip doesn't settle!
[grunting]
What what!! That's right, baby!
Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip!
Come on, everybody, why aren't you chanting?
You just decimated an unarmed child!
Brother. You were so young!
Wow, what a jerk.
No way we're shopping at Wholesome Foods anymore!
Yeah, we quit! Come on, fellas.
Wait! Where are you all going?
I won!
[groaning] Tilly...
did I... do a good?
Yup, you did a real good, brother.
What in the world?
Did you kids start a war without your Gramma?
Sorry, Gramma.
Hey there!
I got hit in the mouth with one of your tomatoes,
and they were delicious!
Do you have any left?
Well, sure!
But what the heck happened to you?
[Chip] Chip happened!
Chip?
Chip, your worst nightmare, Whistler!
[chuckles] Smart trick, kid, turning everyone against me!
But Chip sees right through you!
And I've still got some tricks of my own!
[maniacal chuckle]
Good luck selling food with bites taken out of them!
Hey!
You better leave before I decide to get nasty!
What?
Oh, you thought you could hide some from me?!
No wait, stop-- Oh what the heck.
Hahahaha! Mmmm.
Oh. No.
Hot. Hot.
Yyaaahhhhhh!
My tooth! My tooth!
I guess that means he'll have to revenge us again.
Don't worry, we'll be ready.
The Greens never forget.
