[We open on a shot of a book shelf, with a poster of two gloved fists colliding that says the title of the story. "The Cricket Versus Alice Green Family Feudalism!" We then move right to see Cricket sleeping in his hammock, the morning sun shining in from the window. As the sunlight shines on his face, he immediately wakes up with smile.]

[A rooster can be seen perched on a window, preparing to crow. He takes a deep breath, but just before he can start. Cricket's face, exhibiting an expression of pure joy, appears out of nowhere at the window.]

Cricket: [very excited] Cock-a-doodle-doo! Today's the day!

[Cricket jumps off his dresser and stands on his room's floor, arms outstretched as he continues to be excited.]

Cricket: [very excited] Today's the day!

[Close up of Cricket's calendar, showing a red circle on the second Wednesday of the month, with arrows pointing at it and exclamation marks next to it, with an inscription that says "THE DAY" with an underlining and an exclamation mark. Cricket appears next to it, his hands on the calendar, still super excited.]

Cricket: [very excited] Today's the day!

[The camera moves back to show us the room's interior and the bunk beds, with the top bunk holding a sleeping Tilly. Cricket jumps up and pulls her down, blanket and all, to share with her the exciting news. As he says this, Tilly is dazed, having just woken up.]

Cricket: [very excited, arms outstretched] Tilly! Today's the day!

[He jumps over her and laughs hysterically as he runs out of the room. Tilly, being left alone and still dazed from her abrupt awakening, rolls over to her side, covering herself again with the blanket.]

Tilly: [Tired] Five more minutes.

Cricket: [opening Bill's bedroom door] Dad, wake up!

[He leaps onto Bill, who is sleeping in his bed.]

Bill: [startled, also having just barley woken up] Cricket! What in the world??!

Cricket: Today's the day! Today's the day! [He runs outside, going excitedly]

Bill: [groaning] Oh...

[Cricket is now in his clothes. He sneaks up on Phoenix, who is sleeping in her doghouse.]

Cricket: [whispered] Today's the day.

[He pokes Phoenix on the eyes; her right eye opens.]

Cricket: [patting the family cow, Miss Brenda] Today's the day!

Miss Brenda: Moo!

Cricket: [Opening Gramma Alice's bedroom door; whispering] Gramma. Today's the day.

[Camera pans over to the left to reveal Gramma Alice, who is sitting in her chair. She turns on her lamp.]

Gramma Alice: [snickers]

[The Greens enter the kitchen. Tilly and Bill are still dazed from their abrupt awakening.]

Bill: What's goin' on, Cricket!

Cricket: [puts down a bowl of grits on the table] I made y'all grits this mornin' as a celebration, 'cause today is the day I earn the Green Family name!

Bill: [rubbing his right eye] Ho, ho! Right. The old Green Family Rite of Passage.

Cricket: For generations, each member of our family has set off on a quest to wrestle the toughest, meanest animal around in order to truly earn the Green Family name.

Gramma Alice: As well as earn a place on the Green Family Triumph Quilt. [Close up on the quilt; it shows various patches, each one of a Green conquering an animal] Each patch represents a Green defeating a vicious animal. [Points to a patch of Tilly riding a horse while feeding him a carrot on a stick] There's your sister taming a wild horse.
