Hello follower, thank you for 142 Vote for Baraka and Big City Greens Season 1.

The Greens pass various posters of the movies being shown

Cricket: Wow, a Big City movie theater!

Tilly: Back home, the theater only had one screen. And an owl infestation.

Bill: This'll be a nice change of pace for our family movie night!

Cricket, Baraka, Tilly, Gramma: Yaayy!

They pass one particular poster which Cricket is suddenly drawn to

Cricket: Huh? Kiss of Death? Coool!

Box Office Guy: Next, please!

He steps up

Bill: Hey there. We'll take four tickets for--

He pushes forward

Cricket: Hey, gimmie a million tickets to Kiss of Death! I'll pay with all my jellybeans!

He hands in a pile of such jellybeans

Bill: Kiss of Death?

Cricket: Yeah! I only just saw the poster, but I think it's about an undead rebel on a quest for vengeance! He leaves a trail of carnage and destruction in his path - it's perfect for a manly dude like me!

Bill: Sounds inappropriate. Besides, we've already decided to go see Croblins 2!

He shows a poster for said movie described; Benny ogles at it

Benny: Golly-gee! Croblins 2!

Cricket: Aww come on, Dad! Croblins is for babies! I wanted to be treated like an adult, and you want to take me to a movie about pixies singin' songs and eatin' candy! I'm a man, now! I'm basically the patriarch of this family, after Gramma.

Gramma: Smart boy.

Bill: I just don't think you're mature enough for a movie like Kiss of Death. Besides, in Croblins, sometimes they throw in jokes only adults get! That's just as good!

Baraka: Plus, it'll probably have a dance party at the end. You love dance parties, Cricket!

Cricket: Heh heh, yeah, I sure do. I mean that sounds dumb!

He hands him his ticket; pats his head

They are marching away

They are chanting

Bill, Tilly, Baraka, Gramma: CROBLINS! CROBLINS! CROBLINS!

He rolls eyes and puts ticket in pocket

Cricket: Mmm!

Bill: Since we're here a little early, I'll go grab us some popcorn. Meet you in the theater!

He leaves

Gramma: I'll go save us some seats before the good ones get taken. It'll be dog eat dog in there!

She pushes two kids away

Gramma: GAH!

Blue Boy Hat: Aah!

Pink Boy Hat: Aah!

Tilly: Well... We're gonna go explorin'!

She cartwheels away

Tilly: Ha! Heyah!

He is doing backflip away

Baraka: Heyah!
