Concrete Jungle

"Concrete Jungle" is the first segment of the eighty-eighth episode of Big City Greens.
==Synopsis==
A nature documentary portrays Big City as a wild ecosystem.
==Plot==
Presented in the style of a nature documentary, an omniscient narrator speaks over the wild nature of Big City, specifically focusing on the Green Family and the machinations they get up to on a daily basis.
Following a traditional morning ritual, everyone leaves the house, except for Gramma Alice who simply sits and asserts her dominance in the area. She is bothered by a group of construction workers who disturb her. Shouting "Idiots! Idiots!" similar to a bird, Alice proceeds to attack the workers, who fight back. They are no match for Alice and quickly leave in fear.
Cricket goes to the park to play with Remy. They suddenly get hungry and wait in line to get burgers at a food truck. Just as they buy their food, a group of teenage punks steal it from them. As the truck is sold out, Cricket and Remy proceed to stock the teens and attack one of them, getting their food in the process. The teens chase after the them, but they use the sewer steam to hide from them and proceed to savagely devour their food.
Gloria is working at her cafe where she takes out the abundance of garbage. She ensures that no one is looking at her and proceeds to dive through the garbage where she finds a pair of really nice shoes. Unfortunately, a garbage truck picks up the dump. Gloria risks either getting crushed to death or humiliated and goes for the latter. While hugely embarrassed, she is happy to have found new shoes.
Tilly is at a crosswalk, but has trouble trying get across. After noticing a large tattooed man using his appearance to get by, Tilly uses a wavy inflatable to make herself seen and walks across. Upon making it to the middle, she notices the cars going in the opposite direction move faster. She then uses even more items to make herself appear larger, with everyone in awe over her appearance. After successfully making it across, she walks normally.
Bill is at the farmer's market when he buys a case of fresh eggs. He ventures into the subway where the hustle and bustle of the vehicle begins to perturb him. A muscular man, whom the narrator says is constantly looking for protein, takes an interest in Bill's eggs and begins to mob him for them, Bill then gets into a roll position and proceeds to roll about the subway to get away from the man. He successfully manages to escape, leaving the man on the subway, and Bill relaxes over his safe eggs.
Everyone returns home exhausted, but happy to be helping themselves to dinner using the eggs Bill bought.
