The "OPEN" sign; Cricket changes it to "CLOSED"
Cricket: Ahh! Quittin' time!
They throw off their hat and apron
Cricket: Another day, another free scone!
They take a scone and eats it
Gloria: Hey! For the last time you, those aren't free.
Baraka: Whah-ahh...
They take the scone out of their mouth and puts it back
Baraka: Well, at least dinner at home is free. So, Gloria, what you doing after work?
Gloria: I've got some guests coming over to stay at my apartment through Share BnB.
Cricket: Sharing bees? Why would you do that? We hate bees!
Gloria: What? Of course you wouldn't know what that is.
She is using her phone
Gloria: Share BnB is a service where you rent out your home to guests, and in exchange they pay you money.
They hear the last bit
Baraka: Wait a second! We'd like to have money! And We live in a house!
They are hyperventilating
Gloria: Now that you mention it, your house would be perfect for Share BnB.
They gasp
They are smiling very wide
They have summoned his family for a meeting
Cricket: Then all we have to do is give 'em a bed and make 'em breakfast, and then the money just rolls in!! It's so easy. We gotta do it!!
Bill: Uh, hold on! Just a minute, Cricket. Money never just "rolls in."
He holds up a bread roll on "rolls in"
Bill: Eh? Bread roll? You get it?
They are not amused
Gramma: Boo!
Baraka: Come on, Bill! Gloria set it all up for us! It's easy money!
A bit pensive
Bill: Well, I do appreciate your initiative. But my point is, money never just...comes in easy. You two have to work hard for it.
He is sputtering loudly, ignoring him
Cricket: This is different, Dad! The house does all the work for you, just by bein' a house!
Tilly: Sounds fun.
She feeds a spoonful to Dirtbag
Tilly: I could make them somethin' fancy for breakfast, like cereal.
She yowls
He very stern
Bill: All right... but only if you two promise to see this commitment through, no matter what!
He nonchalantly
Baraka: Yeah, yeah, we got it.
They sip their juice box
They are slurping
Gramma: I don't know. Seems complicated.
Cricket: Don't worry, Gramma! It'll be a piece of cake!
He holds up a slice of cake on "piece of cake"
Everyone but Bill finds it funny
They are laughing
