[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.
