It blows away and we then see the Greens (From L-R: Gramma with her walking stick, Bill with two bags of groceries, Tilly with a green balloon, Cricket and Baraka leading the way)

Cricket: Oh boy, We can't wait for tonight. Our first family Steak Night in the Big City!

All: Whoo!

Bill: And even though the food's three times more expensive here, nothin's more important than family tradition. But seriously, I spent Cricket and Baraka's college savings in there.

Baraka: We never planned on goin'. What's your favorite part of Steak Night, Tilly?

Tilly: Well, Baraka, where do I start? I'd have to say... the steaks.

Gramma: The steaks!

Bill: Uh, I'm gonna have to go with steaks.

Cricket: 'Cause it ain't Steak Night without the steaks!

He takes out the steaks

Bill: Wait, how'd you get those?

Baraka: Can We hold them? Can We, Bill?

He doubtedly

Bill: Hmm...

He agrees

Bill: Well, all right. But be careful. Steaks are the heart of Steak Night.

Cricket: We'll care for 'em like our own precious meat babies.

They squeezes and kisses it

He looking at his watch

Bill: Oh, wow, it's gettin' late. We gotta get home.

Baraka: Hey, Bill, look! Let's take the subway! That'll save us a bunch of time.

Bill: Good idea. Can't be that complicated, right?

They cheering

Cricket and Baraka and Tilly: Yay! Subway! Subway! Subway!

Gramma: Sub-won't!

Her green balloon pops

Gramma: That subway's no good! And full of hidden dangers. Nothin' good ever comes from being underground!

Gramma: The only way you're gonna get me down that slimy old crime hole is if you drag me kickin' and screamin'!

She realizing Bill is holding her

Gramma: Oh, you did.

She disappointed

Gramma: Well, heck.

Bill: Aw, come on, Ma. The subway's not that bad. Look! The kids are into it.

Cricket: Dang! Would you look at this place? It's like a whole underground city, Tilly. Let's show these steaks around.

Tilly: I'll bet they'd love that.

Cut to a woman carrying a two snake on her shoulders

She talking on a phone

Snake Woman: I told you to get the extra-large mice.

He whispers

Baraka: Careful, steaks. The people here can commune with reptiles.

The two snake then turns, chomping Cricket and Baraka's head

Cricket: Aaaah!!

Baraka: Get off of me!!

Snake Woman: Oh. They likes you both.

Cut to a man using a drinking fountain

Cricket: This traveler's storing water for a long, sad, lonely journey underground.
