[ High-pitched ] So sour!
[ Sucking ]
Can I sit with you?
Yeah.
Lemons? That's a bad snack.
We got cookies, you know.
He wants lemons, Miss Thang.
He's working on his sour tolerance.
It's for a contest at the creek.
Whoo! Hey, family!
Guess who just beat his own personal running time!
Me!
I'd like to give a special shout-out
to my beautiful wife for all her love and support.
But most importantly -- the blender!
For giving me the protein I need for speed!
Nicole: So, the blender's "most important?"
Well, you bought it, though. Uh...my guy!
Still working on that lemon training, huh?
Lemme tell you the secret to my success.
Stick to your goal, and take it one step at a time.
Aw, what's that face, Jessica?
You smell funky.
[ Sniffs ]
Whoo! Mm-hmm.
Ugh, this week is so stressful.
What's the matter, Bernard?
I've got three finals to study for,
five papers to write, and on top of all that,
I still have to fill out all of these
job applications for summer.
[ Scoffs ] Pasta La Vista. Who names a restaurant that?
Listen, I know there's a lot going on right now,
but if you focus, and ignore the distractions,
you can get through it.
Thanks, Mom.
Come on, Craig! I believe in you!
What are you all doing?
He's building up his sour tore-lance for the creek!
Huh.
Dumb.It's not dumb!
We're a family!
We gotta have each other's backs!
Mom! Jessica's on the table!Aah!

One pucker sucker...
please!
If you say so!
You really think you can finish a whole pucker sucker?
That candy has slaughtered every taste bud
that's dared to defy it's sourness.
Well, there's a first time for everything.
And I'm gonna be the first kid
in the history of the creek to finish one.
Uh, be careful, Craig.
I heard one kid puckered so hard,
he disappeared into another dimension.
Well, it didn't happen to me,
and I currently hold the record.
Not that it matters or anything, but I've lasted the longest.
Check out my score. Boom.
Made it all the way to the core, haha!
Yeah, but you didn't finish it.
I'll finish you.

Kelsey!
JP!
W-Where am I?
Oh, you are here?
But where is here?
Welcome, Craig, to the sour zone.
Bernard?
Is that you?
[ Laughs ]
Are you done?
Listen to me, Craig.
If you want to make it to the end,
you'll have to survive the three layers
of this sour zone --
the sour crystal crust,
the citrus candy middle,
and the acidic core,
from which no soul has ever escaped!
Your head's a lemon!
Craig! Yeah, yeah.
Three layers. Got it.
Each layer has a doorway to the next,
like that one behind you.
Heh, better zip up your hoodie, Craig.
I think I feel a storm coming.
[ Gasps ]
Aargh!
Sour crystals! [ Screams ]
Craig? Craig, are you okay?
Quick, help me lift him up!
Oh, no! Uh-uh! This is bad for business!

You can't give up!
You must keep going!
I can't!
It's so hard to see with all these shards!
You can, Craig! Remember to focus.
As long as you focus and ignore the distractions,
you can get through this.
Focus!
Focus.
Focus on her voice.
Focus.
Mom!
[ Shouting ]
Mom!
Aaaah!
So, you actually made it.
But that was just the beginning.
Things from here on will be more intense.
Hah, all I have to do is climb two steps?
It's still buffering.What?
Don't worry, Craig. I'll give you a hand this time.
Oh, yeah?I don't have hands, Craig!
Grr, Bernard.
[ Scoffs ] Really?
That blizzard was so much worse.
Huh?
[ Screams ]
Hmph!
Ow!
[ Gasps ] Huh?
A new climbing record! Get some!
Dad? What happened to you?
Life gave me lemons, Craig!
So I made lemonade!
Mm.
Wait, how'd you climb the pyramid?
I just took it one step at a time.
But how am I supposed to do that when there are no steps?
Just stick with it!
Yeah, but I can't stick --
Oh, stick!
