Once upon a time there was a Bill who walking down the sidewalk in Big City

Bill: Ah, nuthin' like a nice walk to clear my head. Maybe not as relaxin' as back home, but I can just pretend I'm in the country. I got a little nature.

He leans against the tree

Bill: Ah...tree.

The moment is ruined by a passing taxi which backfires smoke in his face

He coughs

Angry Business Man: Yeah, and put pepperoni on it!

He bumps into Bill

Angry Business Man: SMOTHER IT IN CHEESE!

He comes over

Hobo: Hey, buddy! Wanna buy a beard?

Bill: Uh...no thanks.

Hobo: Probably a good decision.

He leaves

Nagging Woman: Hey! Your electric guitar is so loud, I can't hear my electric guitar!

Nagging Man: Oh, yeah?!

Nagging Woman: YEAH!

They play their guitars loudly

He covers his ears

He groans

Shows a mob of businessmen on their phones 

All blabbing

Three teens eating in a car

Teen Boy: Yeah! Teenagers!

Bill: Huh?! What?!

Shows a siren going off

[Siren]

A barking dog

He barking

He groaning

The buildings getting bigger in delusion

He screaming

He slams the door open 

He panting

Bill: Hmm?

He looks at a picture of a deer in the forest on the wall

Bill:  This guy's got the right idea.

He goes to his family in the living room

Bill: Hey, everyone! We're takin' a day trip to the country, so get in the truck! Right now!

Cricket, Baraka, Tilly, Gramma: Yay!

Gramma: Shotgun!

Bill: No, Ma. You're not gettin' a shotgun.

Gramma: Fine! But I'm sittin' up front.

The Kludge is driving on the highway out of Big City

Bill: Ah, can't wait to get back to the country. Calm and quiet, wide-open spaces, and views as far as the eye can see. Everything the city doesn't have.

Cricket: Well, we'd better get there soon!

They fidgets

Cricket: Gettin' jittery! Might need to kick a seat!

They kicks their feet

They grunting

Tilly: Don't fret, Cricket and Baraka. There's plenty of fun to be had on the road.
