"Study Abroad" is the second segment of the seventy-seventh episode of Big City Greens.
Synopsis[]
Remy enlists the Greens to help him lie to his parents about his week in the country.
Plot[]
Remy is hanging out with Cricket and Tilly, partaking in typical country fun activities. Remy is happy to not be doing anything, when Cricket mentions that it is Sunday. Remy panics and reveals that he is supposed to get a call from his parents every Sunday so that he can tell them what he has learned. Should his parents discover that he has not learned anything lately, he will be taken back to Big City. Cricket, Tilly, Nancy, and Gramma Alice all agree to help Remy lie so that he can stay, but Bill is angered and annoyed and suggests that he simply tell the truth, only to be swiftly ignored by the entire party.
Cricket teaches Remy to add specific details, Tilly suggests setting the mood, Alice tells him to make enough action, while Nancy only seems interested in having animals with small hats. Bill cannot believe what he is hearing and tries to regale a story about building a fence. Remy instead decides to lie about building one as well just as his parents and Vasquez call. Cricket writes notes on Remy's arm, but his sweat causes it to rub off. The Greens, sans Bill, try to help Remy out with his story, but Remy gets most of the details wrong. When he mentions that he was fending off wolves, his parents declare that they are bringing him back.
Remy jumps into a story about facing off against a wolf to rescue a duck, using all the lying tricks that the Greens taught him. Despite getting approval from the Greens, the Remingtons do not believe his story and demand an explanation. Finally giving into Bill's point of view, Remy tells his parents that he has not done anything that week and was scared. They tell him that they are happy that he is okay and that they are perfectly fine with him not having learned anything. As punishment though, they demand he write a 20 page essay on the history of lying. Remy sulks that he did in fact learn something that week.
