They are playing Go Fish
Gramma: Read 'em and weep!
She tosses in her cards and grabs poker chips
Bill: Ma, for the last time, we're playin' Go Fish.
Gramma: Shut up and give me money.
He comes in holding a grocery bag
Cricket: Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys, hey guys, hey guy, hey guys, hey guys!! I can't wait to show you what I bought!
Bill: "Bought"?
Cricket: Yeah! I made ten bucks by tacklin' a bird.
Bill: What does that even mean?
Cricket: Di-daz...just listen!
Flashback
He eating and mooching one of the plates on the tables
Cricket: So there I was, workin' at the café to pay back my destruction debt, doin' a real good job, when all of a sudden I noticed two best friends bein' harassed by an intruder.
He shows two men, Alexander and Terry, at the next table freaking out over the sight of a pigeon
Alexander: Oh my gosh, Terry, DO SOMETHING!
Cricket: Bein' a professional, I knew just how to tackle the problem.
He plots the pigeon to the ground
Cricket: Get your gross face outta here, bird! Be gone, sky rat!
The pigeon flies away
Cricket: And I was met with the pleasant surprise.
They approach by Cricket
Alexander: Tiny boy, you saved our brunch. And our lives. Thank you so much.
He pauses
Alexander: Terry, oh my gosh, give him the tip already!
He presents him with a dollar bill
Cricket: Whillikers! $10?!
Cricket: Thought about openin' a savings account...

Cricket: But instead, I bought this!
He presents a fish on a plaque, Barry Cuda
He presses the play button on the nameplate and it starts to move and sing

Barry Cuda: ♫ Make you a wish ♫
Barry Cuda: ♫ Look here now, it's a singin' fish ♫

Barry Cuda: ♫ Barry Cuda ♫
Chorus: ♫ (Ooh) ♫

He laughs
Cricket: A fish that can sing?! That's comedy. His name's Barry Cuda, get it?!
Bill: Yeah...great, son. Speakin' of fish, wanna come play Go Fish with --
