[chicken squawks]
Here you go, sir.
One coffee
with extra-fresh milk.
[moos]
Cricket, what
are you doing?
This café is supposed
to be a nice place,
and your constant
shenanigans
are turning it
into a laughingstock.
[chuckles]
Oh, Gloria.
It's pronounced
"livestock."
Ugh! You are
impossible.
-[cow moos]
-Go on, get out!
Why on earth would you
bring a cow in here?
-[car horns honking]
-Bringing farm animals
into the café
is exactly
what got you stuck
working here
in the first place.
The man wanted milk,
so I gave him some milk.
Ugh! Cannot wait
until you're done
-working off those damages.
-[Cricket groans]
Hey, you think I like
working here with you
always hanging over me
and telling me
not to lick stuff?
Ooh! Ahh...
-Hey!
-[Cricket straining]
Get a clue. You live
in Big City now,
and it's time you start
acting like it.
-[Cricket groans]
-[door opens]
Sorry, but
we're closing!
[gasps] Ms. Cho!
So, uh, what brings you
in today, Ms. Cho?
-[grunts]
-A coffee emergency?
-A what, now?
-[grunts]
"There's a coffee bean
shortage in Big City,
but a fresh shipment
comes in tonight.
If you and Cricket
can acquire
a sack of coffee beans
for Big Coffee,
then Cricket's debt
to the café will be...
-[both gasp]
-Cleared?!
So, this means I won't
have to work here anymore?
-[grunts]
-Yee-haw!
-Sounds good to me!
-Not as good as
it sounds to me.
Oh, really? And what's
that supposed to mean?
-Would you please clarify?
-When have you ever
been a model employee?
-[Ms. Cho grunts]
-Yes, we're leaving.
-Okay, boss lady.
-So sorry, Ms. Cho.
[Cricket] ♪ Freedom
oh, baby, sweet freedom ♪
♪ I can almost taste
the freedom ♪
You ain't free
yet, kid.
[choking, grunting]
Don't celebrate until we
actually have the beans.
Every coffee shop in town
is going to be there.
It's gonna be a mad house.
Ooh! We should take
the Silverway Bridge!
No way. It'll be
packed with tourists.
Besides, only country rubes
care about it.
But I've always
wanted to see it!
I rest my case.
[Cricket groans]
[crowd clamoring]
All right, everyone,
listen up!
There's only a few bags
of coffee beans left,
but we've got a fair way
of giving them out.
-Everyone for themselves!
-[crowd clamors]
It's absolute chaos!
Chaos, huh?
I eat, breathe,
and drink chaos!
Hi-yah!
[Cricket grunting]
Go, Cricket, go!
Yah! [grunts]
Gotcha!
The last bag!
Hey, bruh,
those coffee beans
are for my super hip,
and thus overpriced café.
-Hand 'em over!
-No way!
These beans are
my ticket to freedom!
-Think fast!
-What?!
Ha ha! Whoo-hoo!
Aah! Oof!
What the--
Well, well, well.
If it isn't Cricket Green.
Well, well, well.
If it is Chip Whistler.
I see you've gotten
your tooth fixed again.
Yep! With an
indestructible
bonded polymer.
It's very toxic, but...
[sing-song] worth it!
Thanks for snagging these
for the Wholesome Foods
in-house coffee bar.
Hey! Let go of my beans!
-[both grunting]
-[Gloria] Hey! Hey!
That bag is property
of Big Coffee!
-Oh, hello there,
Ponytail.
-Ponytail?!
Cricket, aren't you
gonna introduce me?
-[Gloria grunts]
-[Chip screams, grunts]
The name's Gloria.
It's crummy to meet you.
Dang!
Where'd you
learn that?
Tae Kwon Do.
City girls
have to know
how to take care
of themselves.
[sinister music]
I won't let you make a fool
of me again, Cricket Green.
Wholesome Greg,
Wholesome Rose,
upsies!
We're going after
Cricket Green
and that bag
of beans.
Now, get to the chopper!
Oh, we don't
have a chopper.
We're a small to mid-size
organic supermarket--
Fine, Greg.
We'll take the van.
-Oh, man, I can't believe
we actually did it.
-[Gloria] That was so cool!
All right! Whoo-hoo!
We're home free, Gloria!
I never have to work
-at the café again!
-Heck yeah!
Ahh, looks like
our troubles are--
Huh?
-Right behind us!
-[screech, crunch]
Those beans are mine!
It's that creep again.
[tires squealing]
-Take the sidewalk!
-What? No!
Cut through the plaza!
Oh, you missed it!
Make a J-turn!
Ah, don't you know
how to drift?
What? Should I crash
through a fruit
stand, too?
Hey! Those farmers
work hard to grow
that fruit!
[tires screeching]
I guess we lost 'em.
Looks like
I know this city
better than you,
after all.
Gotcha now, Cricket.
[both screaming]
[screaming continues]
-Aah!
-We're gonna hit a cat!
-Aah!
-Aah! There's
even more cats!
[baby cooing]
-Aah!
-Why is there
a baby now?
Not my fault you didn't
stick the landing.
Come on, we gotta
get out of here.
You said
you knew the city.
Don't lose your beans.
I know a place.
Oh, you won't
get away that easy.
Yeah, they will.
Look.
See? There they go.
Pretty easy.
Also, are we being paid
overtime for this?
Not a good time, Greg!
[keys jingle, parrot squawking]
We'll be safe in here.
Whoa, what is this?
Some sort of
hipster hideout?
No. This is my apartment.
-Huh.
-What?
It's a little small.
Well, a barista salary
doesn't go very far
in Big City.
No wonder it's taking me
so long to work off my debt.
I gotta call
my auto insurance
and see if I'm covered
for hillbilly hijinks.
Ooh, a parrot!
I'm gonna teach you
that word
that Gramma said
the other day.
-[inhales deeply]
-[parrot squawks]
I'm lonely!
I miss home!
[chuckles nervously]
Must've gotten that
from a movie
or something.
Uh, oh, yeah.
Of course.
Ugh! I'm on hold.
Hey, don't look at that!
[Cricket reading]
You're not
from here?
I thought you grew up
in Big City.
[sighs] I didn't move here
until after college.
I'm from Bedford Park.
-Where's that?
-It's the suburbs.
Just some boring little place
no one's ever heard of.
When I was growing up,
I always wished
I were from some place
more interesting
like Big City, or Paris.
But the truth is,
I'm not.
[parrot squawks]
Gotta buy more ice cream.
Can't believe I ate it
in one sitting again.
-Good night!
-I don't get it.
If you're not
from around here,
why are you always
coming down so hard on me
for being from the country?
I guess because...
I work hard to fit in,
but you don't, and yet,
you just fit in.
[sighs] Am I doing
something wrong?
Oh, Gloria, yeah, probably.
But hey, you had me fooled.
I thought for sure
you were from Big City.
-Thanks, Cricket.
-[Chip] Cricket!
We know you're
around here!
Bet you thought you could hide.
Too bad you left a bean trail
that led me right to ya.
So why don't you just
hand over the coffee beans?
-Aah!
-[Lloyd] Quiet! I got
work in the morning!
We're gonna need
a new ride.
Quick, gimme your phone.
I know just
who to call.
Have you ever used
a cell phone before?
Gloria, I know
what I'm doing.
Make it do numbers.
[mysterious music]
I came as soon as you called.
Thanks, Tilly. We're in
a bit of a tight spot.
Well, I got just the thing.
Here she is.
-Ta-da!
-[bleats]
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
One goat power,
one sheep power,
and zero
horsepower.
You done good, Tilly.
Now it's my turn to drive.
Tilly! You coming?
No. This is as far as I go.
Tilly, wait!
Chip and his g*ons
are out there!
Exactly. You're gonna
need a distraction.
-Oof! Tilly!
-It's too dangerous!
Don't worry about me!
Just get those beans
home safe.
Come on out, Cricket!
You can't hide forever!
Tilly... Tornado!
-[Tilly panting]
-Uh, what is she doing?
[Cricket grunts]
Ha ha!
[Chip]
That was them!
Let's go, people!
Works every time-- Aah!
Gloria, I've got a plan.
Which way to the
Silverway Bridge?
I told you,
it's always gridlocked.
Gloria, give this
country boy a chance.
Ugh! Fine!
Left at the light.
-[Chip] Surprise!
-[both] Aah!
I'll take those.
-[Gloria] Hey!
-[both grunting]
Gloria!
What's a city girl like you
doing with this
country bumpkin, anyway?
Actually, why don't
you come work for me
-at Wholesome Foods?
-Huh?
-Watch out! Median!
-[Chip, Gloria] Whoa!
Come on! City people
should stick together.
We're almost to the bridge!
So, what do you say,
Gloria?
Sorry, Chip.
I'm no city girl.
I'm from the suburbs.
Whoa!
-[grunts]
-Oof!
[groaning]
Aah! My tooth!
My tooth!
[laughs] Nice!
Where'd you learn that?
Youth soccer.
Cricket, the traffic!
I know. Hyah!
Quick, after them!
We're not gonna make it!
[Gloria]
It's too narrow!
We're gonna make it!
Hyah!
Yah! Yah! Ha ha!
Woo-hoo!
[drivers clamoring]
Bingo bango.
We did it!
[both]
Whew!
Pretty cool bridge.
Yeah, it ain't bad.
One of these days,
Cricket Green,
I'm gonna run your family
out of this town!
Mark my words!
Big City is no place
for the Greens!
I don't think
he can hear you.
-Like, they're already gone.
-Shut up, Greg!
And then she kicked the bag
out of his hands,
and he was all like,
"Aah! My 'toof'!"
And he starts
weaving past cars
like, "Zoom,
zoom, zoom!"
She was like some kind of
superhero or something!
-[Ms. Cho grunts]
-[Gloria] You were, too!
-[grunts]
-Huh? What's this?
I paid off my debt?
Oh, right.
I guess I don't
work here anymore.
[Ms. Cho]
Mm-hmm.
Cool. Well, I guess
you're free then.
Yeah... [chuckles]
So are you.
Great. We got what
we wanted. [chuckles]
So, uh, I guess
this is goodbye.
-Huh?
-[cup shatters]
-Cricket!
-What? That was you!
-I didn't do--
-Cricket, cut it out!
Oh! I get it.
Hmm?
-[items crashing]
-[angry grunt]
Whoopsies!
Did I get a debt again?
Ms. Cho, I tried
to stop him!
Destructive scamp!
[angry grunt]
Woo-hoo! The dream team
is back together.
Aw, yeah!
With that level
of property damage,
you're gonna work here forever.
Woo-hoo! Forever!
[chuckles] Forever.
[chuckles] Wow.
[both chuckling nervously]
[both sigh]
All right, I think I've
lined up the perfect shot.
Okay, it's ready!
Remember, Cricket,
you aim with your eye,
but you sh**t
with your heart.
-Cricket!
-Aah!
Almost, Cricket!
Cricket,
what are you doing?
You're supposed to be
brushing the dog.
The old girl's
shedding like crazy!
[coughs]
Dad, I'm busy.
She's your responsibility,
and I've been asking you
to do it for days.
[sighs] All right, fine.
Your turn, Remy.
Don't sh**t your eye out.
-Okay.
-All right, Phoenix.
Here comes
a good brushing.
Three brushes
ought to do it.
One... [grunting]
-[glass breaks]
-[Remy] Aah! My eye!
Oh, for Pete's sake.
Remy, I'm coming!
I love you.
[sniffing]
Hey, do you think
this thing would work
if we loaded it up
with turnips?
I don't know.
Let's find out.
-[Phoenix sniffing]
-[Remy, Cricket laughing]
[inquisitive bark]
[resumes sniffing]
[Bill]
Cricket, have you
fed the dog yet?
[Cricket]
I'm doing it!
Come on, Phoenix!
[whistling]
That's weird.
She always comes running
when she hears her food.
And by running,
I mean waddling.
Boy, oh, boy, is she old!
[laughs]
-Let's go find her.
-We should probably
go look for her.
Phoenix!
Phoenix!
Come here, girl!
[grunting]
Dang head's getting bigger.
Well, she ain't
on the roof neither.
Cricket, I'm starting
to worry about Phoenix.
Do you think
she's okay?
Oh, yeah,
she just wandered off.
She used to do this
all the time in the country.
What if she's out in the city
and can't find her way home?
Nah, she and I have
a special connection.
Like an owner-pet
psychic link.
I'll be able to find her
anywhere. Let's go!
-Phoenix! Come here, girl!
-We got food for ya, Phi-Phi!
Hello, have you seen
my dog, Phoenix?
She's a good dog...
...and well, she seems
to have wandered off,
and I'm hoping you
or one of your...
...work associates
may have seen her!
[Tilly]
I don't understand
why she'd run off.
She loves it
at our place.
Why, just today
you gave her
a good brushin',
didn't ya, Cricket?
Yeah, kinda.
Maybe she just got
a little confused.
After all,
she is pretty old.
How long have you had her?
Oh, I've had her just about
as long as I've been alive.
Back in the country,
when I was just a wee babe,
one summer night our barn
was hit by lightning
and burned right to the ground.
Mom let me play in the ashes,
which was super fun,
but to everyone's surprise,
she found a little black puppy.
The pup was all alone, and by
some miracle had survived.
And when we washed her off,
wouldn't you know it,
she had been red
the whole time!
My mom named her Phoenix,
and gave her to me
as my first pet.
Phoenix and I were inseparable.
Goofin' off together,
and growing up side by side.
We've been each other's
best friends
-our entire lives.
-[chuckles] Neat story, Cricket.
What the heck?! I thought
I was Cricket's best friend!
Neat story.
-[Phoenix barking]
-[gasps] That sounds like
Phoenix!
[sniffing]
See, I told you
we'd find her.
She just got a little lost,
is all.
Phoenix!
Wha-- Hey, where you going?
[barks]
-Phoenix?
-[Phoenix barks]
Phoenix!
[panting] Wait!
Phoenix!
Phoenix, don't go!
[panting, barks]
[panting]
What's the matter
with her?
Uh, I don't know.
It's like she
couldn't get away
from me fast enough.
Did I do
something wrong?
Did we lose our
owner-pet psychic link?
Does Phoenix not
like me anymore?
[light buzzing]
Cricket, it's
getting late.
Yeah, maybe we should get
Papa and Gramma's help?
[sighs] Yeah, okay.
[Cricket]
I messed up real bad, Dad.
I had a good,
sweet pupper,
and now she's gone.
Aww, don't beat
yourself up, son.
With all of us out there
searching for her,
we'll find Phoenix
no matter what.
Well, let's not make
any promises you can't keep.
Ma, come on.
[Cricket]
Phoenix!
Phoenix!
Come on, girl, where are ya?
[sighs]
You okay, son?
Nope. I'm a bad seed, Dad.
Time to return me to whatever
baby farm you got me from,
and pick out a new boy.
Uh, that's not how it works.
[clears throat] Remember
when you were little, Cricket?
You would try to ride Phoenix
like a little horse.
[chuckles]
She didn't like it much,
but that didn't
stop you from trying.
I remember when
I was little...
...and couldn't sleep.
I'd curl up with Phoenix
in her dog bed...
and we'd share her treats.
[laughs] Remember
that, Cricket?
And I remember when--
Yeah, good story, Remy.
I don't care much
for her yappin',
but you know,
it's nice having someone
in the house older than me.
In dog years, anyway.
[laughs] Yeah!
Hey, you got any good
Phoenix stories,
Cricket?
Well, there was this one time.
I went out to the woods
to dig a hole.
Last summer I was really
into digging holes.
I love digging holes!
I was gonna dig
my deepest hole yet...
and I succeeded!
Actually succeeded too well,
and got myself stuck.
Help!
I was stuck in that dang hole
for hours!
Until...
[Phoenix barking]
Phoenix arrived!
Phoenix, I'm so
happy to see ya!
Go find help, girl! Go!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[groans]
She never was
the brightest dog.
But she sure was the sweetest.
[laughs]
You remember that, Dad?
I thought I'd lost my boy.
How'd you end up
finding us, anyway?
Well...
[clears throat]
Phoenix shed so much
that she left
a fur trail
right to you.
We just followed the trail.
You followed a trail of fur?
[gasps] Dad,
turn this truck around!
I know where we gotta go!
Come on! We have to see
if there's still a trail.
Look! Phoenix's fur!
She's not gone yet!
-Let's go!
-All right!
More fur this way!
[all cheer]
I found dog prints!
-Woo-hoo!
-Yeah!
Uh, I think this is hers.
-You bet it is!
-[both] Yeah!
Fur trail ends right here.
Well, what are
y'all waiting for?
She's gotta be in there!
-Ugh!
-Sorry, kid.
-Bikers only.
-What? Get outta my way!
-I'm going in there!
-Cricket, stop!
Let me talk to him
man to man.
Listen, pal, you're gonna
let my boy in, or else.
Or else what?
Or else...
Nothing. Listen,
I'm not a fighter.
I just wanna look tough
in front of my boy.
Thanks for the
distraction, Dad.
-What?
-Cricket!
-Phoenix!
-[all grumble]
-Hey, get back here!
-Phoenix?
-Phoenix?
-No, my name's Randy.
Phoenix, where are you, girl?
-Come on out!
-Aah!
Cricket, come back!
-[bikers grumbling]
-Aah!
Mm.
What do you think
you're doing here, kid?
This place is
for bikers only.
What am I doing here?
I'll tell ya
what I'm doing here.
I'm looking for my dog!
She's lost.
Or maybe--
maybe she ran away.
Maybe she ran away
because I took her for granted.
I didn't always pay her
the attention she deserved.
Maybe not brushing her today
was the final straw.
But if I could just find her,
and show her that I love her,
maybe she'd wanna
stay with me again.
[bikers crying]
Nothing's as pure
as the relationship
between a kid
and their dog.
I remember my first dog!
This makes me
sad and angry
and I don't know
how to deal with that!
[frustrated grunt]
So, what's
your dog like?
Well, she's hard
to put into words,
but if I had to,
I'd say majestic,
-spry, and beautiful.
-[needle buzzing]
Does your dog
look like this?
No, sorry. I probably
should've described her
physically.
She's mostly
old and red.
Old and red?
There was a dog like that
whimpering
outside earlier.
[gasps] Yes!
Yes, that's her!
Where is she?
Well, somebody
took the dog.
She's gone now.
Wait, what?
I can't believe it.
Phoenix was dog-napped?
She could be anywhere
in the city by now.
Or even farther!
I'm sorry, Cricket.
The trail ends here.
[sighs] Hey, bud.
We're gonna make posters,
and we're gonna keep
lookin', but it's late.
We'll start first thing
in the morning.
It'll be okay.
[Cricket crying]
[crying]
Oh, Phoenix.
[crying]
[Cricket, Tilly crying]
[Remy whimpers]
She's gone, and it's--
it's my fault.
And I should've--
I should've brushed her
like you said.
[crying]
Oh, come on, boy.
There's no...
sense in crying.
[crying]
Son, are you
gonna be okay?
I just can't believe
Phoenix is gone.
It's almost as if I can
still hear her barking.
Well, son, sometimes
when we lose someone we love,
it's as if we can
still hear th--
No, I hear her barking!
I'm coming, Phoenix!
[Bill groans]
Phoenix? Phoenix!
Oh, great. The boy's
got sorrow madness.
Phoenix, I'm sorry!
I should've cared more.
I-- I should've noticed
when you wandered off.
I promise I'll always
appreciate you and brush you
and feed you and brush you,
and do anything you need!
So, please,
just come home, Phoenix!
[panting, barks]
Phoenix!
Well, I'll be!
[panting]
Oh, Phoenix! I love you,
I love you, I love you!
-Phoenix!
-Wowie Zowie!
Oh, I missed you
so much, girl!
-Good girl!
-Good dog!
[Gramma]
That's a good dog.
You're gonna get
so many brushes.
I'm gonna
brush you silly.
From now on, I'll always
enjoy our time together.
[Phoenix choking]
Sorry!
Too much, too much.
Friends?
[laughs]
Pretty odd for Phoenix to
just disappear like that.
Yeah, I wonder
where she went.
I guess
we'll never know.
-[sniffing]
-[kids laughing]
[whimpering]
[barking happily]
Well, at least
your whole family
is back together again.
-[motorcycle humming]
-[Cricket] Huh?
Looks like somebody
lost their dog.
Good thing she tracked me down.
Well, look who finally
got out of jail.
Hey, kiddos.
-Mom!
-Mom!
