In the front yard, chickens, cows and pigs hang out all making their respective sounds. A jogger runs by. We close up on him, as he runs and listens to music via earpiece
He stops, having heard a strange sound, and takes his earpiece out
Jogger: Hmm?
He looks to our left. The sounds of a driving tractor can be heard, and we see two kids and tarkata friend, Cricket and Tilly Green and Baraka, drive over a passing car
He laughing
The tractor lands in the mud, spins, then lands in front of the house
She falls off, but Cricket and Baraka remains on the tractor
They looks over to the jogger and the viewers
Cricket: Oh, hi there. We're your new neighbors.
They walks over and sticks out his right hand
Cricket: My name's Cricket. Cricket Green.
Cricket: And this is my tarkata friend, Baraka.
The tractor catches on fire. The camera cuts back on to the jogger, who is now covered in mud, and takes no response
He groans
He continues running and listening to his music
Baraka: Hey, where ya goin'? Oh, okay, you're busy. That's fine. Hm.
He blows raspberries
Baraka: Well, stop by any time!
The father, Bill Green, comes out in panic and notices the tractor on fire
Bill: Cricket and Baraka, what are ya two doin', boys? Have you both lost your mind?!
He frantically tries to put out the fire with his hat
Baraka: Now, Bill, We can explain.
Flashback
They mowing the lawn with the tractor
Cricket: At first, We were mowin' the lawn.
Cut to Cricket and Tilly and Baraka mowing the lawn of a golf course
Cricket: Then, We were mowin' other lawns.
They get hit by golf balls
Golfer: Fore!
Cut to Cricket and Tilly and Baraka nervously riding the tractor on the streets
Cricket: Then it just kinda got out of hand.
End of Flashback
Cricket: Honestly, We don't know how We made it back here.
Bill: Tilly, ya all right?
Tilly Green: I have seen danger... and I love it.
Bill: Listen, kids, I know it's been difficult adjustin' to city life, but we've got neighbors to consider now.
He waves to a neighbor
Bill: Oh, hi, Mrs. Lewis.
Cut to Mrs. Lewis, a grumpy old woman who lives in an apartment next door to the Greens
Mrs. Lewis: Clean up your junky yard, ya hillbilly!
She closes her window
Bill: The point is, folks don't know us yet, so we wanna make a good impression.
Baraka: A good impression. Bill, consider it done.
He patting Cricket and Baraka on the head
Bill: Attaboy.
