"Oh boy, I can't wait for tonight!"
"Our first family Steak Night..."
"And even though the food's three times more expensive here..."
"Nothin's more important than family tradition."
"But seriously, I spent Cricket's college savings in there."
"I never planned on goin' [to college]."
"What's your favorite part of Steak Night, Tilly?"
"Well, Cricket, where do I start?"
Uh, I'm gonna have to go with steaks.
"'Cause it ain't Steak Night without..."
"Wait, how'd you get those?"
"Can I hold them? Can I, Dad?"
"Steaks are the heart of Steak Night."
"I'll care for 'em like..."
"...my own precious meat babies!"
"Oh, wow, it's gettin' late."
"Hey, Dad, look! Let's take the subway! That'll save us a bunch of time."
"Good idea. Can't be that complicated, right?"
"Subway! Subway! Subway!"
"That subway's no good! And full of hidden dangers."
"Nothin' good ever comes from being underground!"
Cricket's first encounter with snakes in the city.
"The people here can commune with reptiles."
"I'm 90% sure he's just sleeping."
"And this is where they harvest their stretchy candy."
"You want me to be your fearless leader?"
"Oh my gosh, and underground hoedown!"
A classic bluegrass dance.
"Hey, you're pretty good."
"He's a robot wearing the skin of a human!"
Cricket mopes about the dancer...
...to the point he forgot the heart of Steak Night!
"So, how do you want your steaks cooked tonight?"
"I'd like mine extra-well done."
"Sheesh, I'm so hungry..."
"I just might eat mine..."
"It was only partially my fault, I swear!"
"It was that darn robot man!"
"Can we get more steaks, Papa?"
"Not unless we have another month's savings lying around."
"Don't look at me. My money's tied up with the Feds."
Cricket is ready to save Steak Night.
There goes the other ingredients.
"Don't worry about me, just go get Cricket!"
Tilly commands a pack of rats.
An adorable sight, aren't they, Tilly?
Tugging on the groceries.
An environmentalist corners the two.
Cricket spills the deets.
"Don't you care about Mother Earth?!"
"Git yer tree-huggin' hands off my boy!"
She's one resourceful, and weird, girl.
"Oh, my head of lettuce!"
Now departing 10th Street Station.
"Our family tradition is saved!"
"We'll have to eat sawdust."
"Like back in the trenches..."
"I guess we'll just have to wait this one out..."
"I'll never be able to show my face around the house again."
"It's true, that went very poorly."
"But the Cricket I know never gives up when it comes to family!"
"Which is why you have to go back for those steaks!"
"How can I possibly get out?"
"Same way the rats get in."
Bill does not look behind him.
"Cricket, I told you not to put this in the cart!"
"Tilly, you have got to stop enabling your brother."
"Which is why I made you this apology necklace out of trash I found lying around."
"Now throw that thing away and give me a boost!"
This was certainly not on his agenda...
"That large rat took the bomb!"
The others search for Cricket.
Watch out for that... never mind.
This subway station ain't big enough for the two of them.
The robot plays keepaway.
"Cricket, get away from that thing!"
"Maximum threat detected."
"Cricket, get off the tracks!!"
"And ruin our family tradition?"
"You said it yourself, steaks are the heart of Steak Night!"
The train comes ever closer...
"No, that's wrong! Steak Night isn't about the steaks!"
"We can't afford to buy another Cricket!!"
That's the last we'll see of the robot.
"I guess I pressed the victory button too soon."
"Sorry I got so worked up about a couple of silly steaks."
"No need to apologize, Cricket."
"Family traditions are important..."
"...but never more important than family."
"Okay, now, how about we head home and order some takeout?"
"That won't be necessary, Papa."
"The subway has provided." (Subway pizza.}
"Ah, Tilly, don't. Ah, no, no, no!"
