Truck Stopped

"Truck Stopped" is the first segment of the eighty-first episode of Big City Greens.
==Synopsis==
Tilly and Cricket wrestle with indecision at a truck stop between Big City and the country.
==Plot==
Tilly reveals that life has gotten better for the Greens. The family now has two homes with Nancy staying in the country to continue farming, so that Bill can sell the crops in the city, Gloria still lives with the Greens as Alice "helps" her run the cafe next door, and Cricket and Tilly have twice the amount of adventures. However, Tilly also admits that traveling between the country and city can be taxing on them. Luckily, there is a truck stop called Truckee's that they go to in between to help relax. Tilly asks Bill if for once, they can go inside the building and get some snacks. After some reluctance, Bill allows her and Cricket to go in and gives them five dollars to spend on one snack.
Cricket tells Tilly that she is incapable of making a proper decision and suggests that they pick a random snack and leave, but Tilly does not want to accidentally pick something they will regret. Tilly continues to try and distract Cricket while she picks a snack. Meanwhile, an impatient Bill is worried about being a couple of minutes late to meet with Nancy, despite her not really caring. He and Alice are distracted by a truck with a "chrome butt" that blinds them. They mistakenly believe that Cricket and Tilly have returned and drive off without them. They realize their mistake and hastily speed back. A cop stops them, but upon learning their plight, escorts them back, though he still tickets Bill.
Cricket and Tilly fight over the five dollar bill, resulting in it getting destroyed. The kids are sad, but get encouragement from the Truckee's mascot who tells them to use their "window blinders" to limit their view. A panicked Bill arrives and promises to give them whatever they want to make up for his mistake. The kids ask for another five dollars and Cricket picks three random snacks, allowing Tilly to pick tater tots as the snack. The kids are happy with their decision and agree that they make a good team when it comes to decision. As they get back in the car the two are shocked to discover that Bill accidentally left them behind the first time around.
