[Ben] Meet our family car, Hurston.
Hurston is taking us
on our next adventure,
a party at the Jones' house.
[groaning]
Hmm?
[humming]
[grunting]
The tires are all gassed up.
They should last the whole trip.
If we hurry!
[Ella laughing]
Okay, uh, who wants to help Mommy
push the car out this time?
-Me!
-[Ella] I'll help!
[grunts] Oh.
[laughs]
[car approaching]

Mickey?
Hey, Benny. Check out our new car.
It runs on solar and wind power.
Oh! It's phenomenal Remarkable
It's really cool. Oh!
Cappuccino, Bill?
You got a coffee maker on your dash?
[Mrs. Jones] Well, there's no room
to put it in the back with the oven.
Oven? [chuckles]
In the car?
Mickey loves his choc chip cookies.
-[Ben] Chocolate chip cookies!
-[Ella] Choc chip cookies!
Here you go, kids.
Hah! That's amazing.
I designed this prototype 25 years ago.
Hold up. Y'all been
snooping through my garage?
-Huh?
-We better get back to the house
for the party, anyway.
We'll see you all in a bit.
Those Joneses sure got style.
Yeah, but Hurston's got personality.
Did you see the oven?
It's better than the one in our house.
But, um, we can make pancakes
on Hurston's hood when he overheats.
Huh.
[gasps]
Think it's time
to turn him into a hot rod?
[sighs] Maybe just a touch up?
Ooh, hoo-hoo!
Let's get this party started.
Ugh! But, wait!
Don't let the Joneses get you down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[indistinct chatter]
Huh?
Hey, you like it, Benny? It's--
A Sting-Bee Chopper. It's got--
-Chrome brace rods.
-And the--
Glow bucket saddle.
But only the custom ones have--
Dual handbrakes.
Wanna go for a ride, Ben?
Uh
[indistinct chatter]
[gulps] I can't, right now.
But, um, why don't you bring your bike
to our party?
-[Bernadette] Huh?
-Tomorrow?
Our party?
[chuckles nervously] That's right.
Our party.
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
Oh, we thought we'd throw
a little something-something at our place.
Uh-huh.
But it'll be much bigger than this.
We'd love to come.
[Bernadette and Bill chuckle]
-[engine sputtering]
-[all coughing]
[Bernadette] So much to do,
so much to do, so much to do.
We gotta get everything tippety-toppety.
Oh, we are on it.
I know I said
we shouldn't let 'em get us down,
but we gotta show the Joneses
we got cool stuff, too.
We gotta show everybody.
[Bill chuckles]
-[Bernadette] We need more gold.
-We need more chrome.
[both] We need more everything!
[Bernadette groaning nervously]
Uh, that's one heck of a lawnmower
you got there, Benny.
Uh, do you think you could help?
[Bill panting] Let's put the pool
on top of the car.
-[yelps] Oh, no! Oh!
-[Ben gasps]
Okay, uh, maybe we fill it
after it's on the roof.
We can use it for the spa area.
The spa area?
Mom, can you help me figure out
some cool colors for my bike?
Oh, I'm so sorry, honey, uh, Ben.
I gotta finish getting this party ready.
Whoa!
Jimmy Mack'll know how to fix my bike.
ABC, easy as one, two, three!
[yelling and panting]
[car horn honking]
Benny, what you doin'
in the middle of the road,
and what is that?
Sorry, Jimmy Mack, it's, uh, my bike.
I was hoping you could make it
a bit, uh, better.
Pop that hunk o' junk in the trunk
and let's rock and roll!
Or just roll.
More! More! More!
[chuckling] Now that's a bike.
[Ben] Uh, this is great, guys.
Ooh, looking good, Benny-Bun.
Take it for a spiggity-spin.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[panting] No, no!
Ahhh!
No!
[yelling]
Ugh!
[sighs]
[Skywriter] Oh, are you okay, Benny-Bun?
My bike!
Oh, no.
The River of Memories.
Oh!
[laughing]
-[Bernadette] Oh!
-[Bernadette and Bill laughing]
If only there was Maybe if
I wish I could show my family this.
[Ben] Huh?
Ah.
[chuckles] We'll get this cleaned up nice
for you, Benny.
Actually, do you think
you could, um, change it back?
[all] Huh?
Mom, look at this picture.
Oh, hold on, honey, Ben.
I gotta put the cake out.
Hey! What happened
to your upgrades, Benny?
Well, um, I thought
I needed all those crazy additions
after seeing Mickey's bike,
but I did so much,
I couldn't even enjoy the ride.
I'd love a bike like that,
but I can't feel down
because Mickey has something I want,
especially when I've got
so many great memories with my own bike.
You know what? I think we gotta get back
to doing things the Love way.
[chuckles] And that's how we do things.
With love.
[indistinct chatter]
Bernie, sweetie,
you simply must share your recipes.
My desserts are so tired.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Seriously, great party, Bill.
Hey, thanks, Clarence.
