Just so you know, while you and Lurleen were out judging that greased pig contest, Maggie cut her first tooth.
That's great, honey. Say, have you seen my rattlesnake hatband?
You're not even listening to me!
Sure they will.
You've got a wonderful family, Homer. Please don't forget it when you walk out that door tonight.
Uh... I gotta go.
Excuse me, are you Colonel Homer Simpson?
Yes I am.
I'm from Rebel Yell Records, a division of Togasaki Corp. I'm interested in buying Lurleen's contract.
Forget it, pal. They don't call me Colonel Homer because I'm some dumb-ass army guy.
Well thank you -- I'm still a little itchy from that fiberglass hay.
Is there anything you need?
What's wrong?
My whole romantic life is flashing before my eyes.
No!
At least could I have my dollar ba...
I'll love you for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry Lurleen. All I wanted to do was share your beautiful voice with other people and I've done that. Now I better get out of here before I lose my family.
I'll love you for the rest of my life.
Just so I don't wonder... You would've gone all the way with me, wouldn't you?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
Now before we negotiate, I have to tell you I'm desperate to unload Lurleen. And I'll take any offer.
I'll give you fifty bucks.
You son of a... Sold!
Homer?
Is there any room in that bed for a dad-burn fool?
These talking dinosaurs are more real than most real families on TV.
Look Maggie, they have a baby, too.
Now kids, I know you're all excited about meeting Aunt Selma's new boyfriend tonight.
Pfft.
Ewww.
Ooooh.
That's right, Aunt Selma. Your new boyfriend here framed Krusty the Clown for armed robbery.
Gee, if some snot-nosed little kid sent me to prison, the first thing out, I'd find out where he lives, and tear him a new bellybutton.
That's right, Aunt Selma. Your new boyfriend here framed Krusty the Clown for armed robbery.
Lousy snitch.
Ahh, Mr. Simpson, you're forgetting the first two noble truths of the Buddha.
I am not.
Indeed, I did. And I'd like to thank you for catching me, Bart. You seized the wheel of my slow boat to hell and pointed it straight towards the sunny shores of Selma.
Hear hear!.
White. And what would you like for appetizers?
Oooh, appetizers.
Well Homer, you seem to be a trencherman. What should we serve?
Well, you can't go wrong with cocktail weenies. They taste as good as they look. And they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like catsup -- it tastes like ketchup. But brother it ain't ketchup!
Very well. I... I... I can't do it! Even that car chase seemed tacked on.
Oh, would you two knock it off? I hate all the programs Marge likes. But it's no big deal. You know why?
Very well. I... I... I can't do it! Even that car chase seemed tacked on.
Whenever Marge puts on one of her nonviolent programs, I take a walk. I go to a bar, I down a few, and I stumble home in the mood for love.
Aunt Selma has one hour to live!
Hey, down in front.
Dad, when Aunt Selma lights up her cigarette at the end of MacGyver, she'll be blown to kingdom come!
Come again?
After trying four times to explain it to Homer, I explained it to Mom and we were on our way.
To the Simpson mobile!
Hey Homer, let's book! I want to get there in time to whip eggs at the warm-up act.
Wow, my concert going jacket still fits. And this is where I used to hide my beer.
Hey Homer, let's book! I want to get there in time to whip eggs at the warm-up act.
Billy Beer!
My little guy's first rock concert. I hope the Spinal Taps don't play too loud.
Oh Marge, I went to thousands of heavy metal concerts and it never hurt me.
Hmmm, well, all right, but make sure they don't pick up any of the band's attitudes towards women... liquor... religion... politics... really anything.
I hear ya. Come on boy.
Thanks, Dad. Sure you're not gonna be bored?
Boy, some of the best times I've ever had were in the back seat of a car.
Knock it off.
THERE WAS A LITTLE SPANISH FLEA... A RECORD STAR HE THOUGHT HE'D BE... HE HEARD OF SINGERS LIKE BEATLES... THE CHIPMUNKS HE'D SEEN ON TV... WHY NOT A LITTLE SPANISH FLEA? AND SO HE HID... INSIDE A DOG...
We'll discuss it later. Is Milhouse okay?
I'll be right back.
Homer, I've been thinking about what Bart said. If he's really interested in being a musician, maybe we should BUY him A GUITAR.
Well, that's a waste of money. We already have a guitar.
I meant a real guitar.
This is real.
And it came with a free instruction book.
Now boy, we spent a lot of money. So you better get real good real fast or pow!
Homer!
Hey, I thought I was supposed to encourage him.
Mom, can Otto live in our garage for as long as he wants? He sure can!
Marge, what were you thinking?
That's not my voice!
Oh, everybody says that when they hear themselves on tape.
The admiral and I don't get along. Please let me stay here. I've got nowhere else to go.
Forget it. That line didn't work for my dad and it's not gonna work for you.
I know we didn't ask for this, Homer, but doesn't the Bible say, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me...?"
Yes, but doesn't the Bible also say, "Thou shalt not take moochers into thy... hut"?
Please, Dad. If you let Otto stay, he'll help around the house, and chip in a few bucks whenever he can.
All right. He can stay. But I get to treat him like garbage.
Hey, hey, I was just kidding.
That's it. He's outta here.
But Homer, we're the only family he's got...
I don't care. This is not "Happy Days" and he is not the Fonz.
Heyyy, Mr. S...
Listen you drain clogging, last cookie-eating, collect call-getting sponge, I want you out of my house!
Maybe I should go.
So long stomach. We've had a lot of great memories.
We start with pure milk chocolate...
Chocolate...
Add a layer of farm-fresh honey...
Ooh, sweet.
Dad, what if I told you, you could lose weight without dieting or lifting a finger?
I'd say "You're a lying scumbag." Why sweetie?
According to Eternity Magazine you can lose weight through subliminal learning. That's where an idea is subtly implanted in your head without you even knowing it.
Oh Lisa, that's a load of rich, creamery butter.
They'll send you tapes you listen to while you sleep. As you hear new-age music, a powerful message goes to your brain, telling you to eat less.
Lose weight and listen to new-age music? Wow! What do you think, Marge?
Hmmm... Hostage negotiations.
Listen, Tabouli, we're ignoring all of your demands. What do you say to that?
Homer, has the weight-loss tape reduced your appetite?
Lamentably, no. My gastronomic rapacity knows no satiety.
I don't know if that tape is working. You ate three desserts tonight.
Forbearance is the watchword. That triumvirate of Twinkies merely overwhelmed my resolve.
There's another thing I've been wanting to talk to you about...
Tut tut, gentle Marge. For here in the boudoir, the gourmand metamorphasizes into the voluptuary!
Well Milhouse, "'Tis better to have loved and lost"... yada yada yada... let's go to the arcade.
Nah.
Dad! Dad! Do you know what today is?
The vernal equinox?
You've gained thirteen pounds.
Disingenuous mountebanks with their subliminal chicanery! A pox on them!
You mean a spoon?
Yuh. Yuh. Yuh.
You mean a spoon?
Yeah that's good.
Hey, no eating in the tank!
Go to hell.
How was your day at work, dear?
Oh, the usual. Stand in front of this, open that, pull down this, bend over, spread apart that, turn your head that way, cough...
Homer!
Herb?
And now, the next event...in our Living Room Olympics... the always controversial, couch vault. I do this for Stain Master Carpets. Proud sponsor of the Living Room Olympics.
What the hell are you two...
And now, the next event...in our Living Room Olympics... the always controversial, couch vault. I do this for Stain Master Carpets. Proud sponsor of the Living Room Olympics.
Oh, my couch! The arms, the seat... the dream is over. All right, who did this?
There, there. You're safe now, little sister.
Well, why did this have to happen now, during primetime, when TV's brightest stars come out to shine!?
There, there. You're safe now, little sister.
Oh, goodbye, old girl. We've had a lot of great memories.
"Well, I never thought I'd see it. They're dancing on the Berlin Wall. These lithe and lively lovers of liberation..."
Boring.
Pyle!
Well friend, you're going back where you came from. The curb in front of Flanders' house.
Yeah, you gonna to be okay?
Yeah. You know, my life just can't get any worse.
Yeah, you gonna to be okay?
That's right. There's no way my life could possibly get any worse.
Ah, Simpson, you big virile son-of-a- gun. How would you like a check for two-thousand dollars?
Would I!
All you have to do is sign this form.
Wait a minute. I'm not signing anything until I read it, or somebody gives me the gist of it.
All right, well, it just explains that you've won -- yes, that's it -- won the first annual... uh... Montgomery Burns... uh... Award for... a-a-a Outstanding Achievement in...a-a th... th.. the field of... uh, Excellence!
Don't I get some kind of trophy? At a big award ceremony?
"IT'S THE FIRST ANNUAL MONTGOMERY BURNS/ AWARD FOR --
Herb!
Webster's Dictionary defines excellence as "the quality or condition of being excellent". And now, the winner of the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award For Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
Please please please please please...
Dad, you know you won.
Don't jinx it!
The winner... Homer Simpson!
Oh, my God!! Woo hoo! I win!
You cleaned me out Smokin' Joe. What's the matter Homer? Cummerbund too tight?
I miss my couch.
I know how you feel. You lost a couch. I lost a heavyweight championship.
Pfft! Heavyweight championship. There's like three of those. That couch was one of a kind.
Let's do it.
I think I'm gonna take a walk.
But sir...
Dammit, I said full power!
Dad? Dad?
I'll take it.
This chair is $2,000. We could buy a whole living room set for that.
Marge, there's an empty spot I've always had inside me. I tried to fill it with family, religion, community service. But those were dead ends. I think this chair is the answer.
This money was a blessing. We can't just spend it on some creature comfort.
All right, we won't get the chair. Now excuse me while I kiss the sky.
Bart... Lisa. I'm so glad to see you.
You weren't so glad to see me.
I'm sorry, Homer. But I'm still mad at you. Every word you say just makes me want to punch you in the face.
Well, while you're a guest in my home, could you just kick me in the butt?
Can't complain.
Herb, let me give you the grand tour. This is one of our many light switches. It functions in both the on and off mode.
Can't complain.
On... off... on... off.
Homer, he knows how to work a light switch.
Oh, yeah. Right. I don't know what this switch does.
I got the recipe from the Utility Grade Beef Counsel.
They do good work.
That's all I got.
Broke again, eh Herb? Just like in real life. I guess you're just not much of a businessman.
Well, I think we should invest in a set of the great books of Western Civilization. Look at this ad from "New Republic for Kids." Each month a new classic will be delivered to our door: "Paradise Regained," "Martin Chuzzlewit," or Herman Melville's twin classics "Omoo" and "Typee".
Wait, Marge. Didn't you want to spend that money on a vibrating chair?
How would you like to spend two thousand dollars to give a broken man a second chance?
Nah.
Up-up-up-up. Not here. Come into the dining room. I want to give you a twenty-minute presentation that will change the world.
Twenty minutes?!
Okay. Now, before I tell you about my idea, I'd like to show you this.
It's drinking the water!
Take it easy, Homer. Now this is an example of how one little idea -- carefully marketed...
This is the greatest invention in the world! You'll make a million dollars!
No, Homer. That invention is out already. I'm just using it as an example.
It's going back for more!
