Why aren't there any pictures of Maggie?
Well, I'm glad you asked. It's actually a very interesting story.
Get the camera ready, Bart very seepy.
Listen carefully and my words will shape images as clear as any TV show. It was a tumultuous time for our nation. The clear beverage craze gave us all a reason to live.
Get the camera ready, Bart very seepy.
The Information Super-highway showed the average person what some nerd thinks about "Star Trek," and the domestication of the dog continued unabated.
Attention American workers. Your plant has been taken over by an all-star team of free-lance terrorists.
Not on my shift.
Homer! Tell the story right.
Okay.
Your paychecks, gentlemen.
Woo hoo! This is it! With this single glorious check, I'm finally completely out of debt.
Hey, what did we do?
Sorry, that just slipped out. I'll miss ya.
Is that so?
Ooh, lovely desk. It would be too bad if someone, oh, I don't know... didn't use a coaster!!
Is that so?
Such a nice tidy office. Maybe it's time you started living like a pig!
Is that so?
Oh, I hope I haven't upset you... bongo head!
He's gettin' a pretty good sound outta that guy.
That's for employing me for eight years! Ha ha.
He's gettin' a pretty good sound outta that guy.
And that is that. Goodbye mind-numbing, back-breaking labor forever. Hello dream job in paradise.
Sure.
Woo hoo!
Show up tomorrow. Bring three rags. Oh, and a change of pants.
Why?
I don't know if it's such a good idea. Can we get by on a pin-monkey salary?
Don't worry, Marge. I've come up with a perfectly balanced budget. There will be exactly enough money for you, me, Bart and Lisa, if we make a few small sacrifices.
Fine.
That night your mother and I went out for a romantic evening to celebrate the start of our new life. We began with dinner and dancing... followed by a stroll on the beach...
Fine.
Marge...
Homer...
I've got sand in my underpants.
Me too. Let's go home.
I love you, Marge.
I love you too, Homie.
Everything in our lives is finally perfectly balanced. I hope things stay exactly like this forever.
Did you have to be so graphic?
It's okay, Marge. They pave the way for this kind of filth in school.
So Dad, were you excited that mom was pregnant?
Actually, your mother hadn't told me yet. At that time, I had no idea Maggie even existed.
Daaad!
Hi Maggie.
Daaad!
So anyhoo, back then there was no way for me to know your mother was pregnant.
Okay then.
...I slowly learned the intricate mysteries of the alley, like where the pins go after they're knocked down.
Okay then.
I was in heaven. If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling... is a very good sport as well.
Hey, great job, Homer. / Thanks a lot./ You're the best.
I'M GONNA MAKE IT AFTER ALL!
Homie, I--
Can't talk, praying. Dear Lord, the gods have been good to me and I am thankful. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is.
Hey, just heard the news over the squawk box. That's nice work, Homer.
Thank you. Thank you very much. It is nice work.
Oh Mr. Simpson, I have just heard about the little bundle of joy. Congratulations, sir.
It's true, the bundle is little. But I'm not in it for the money.
Hey Homer, way to get Marge pregnant. Heh, heh, heh.
This is getting very abstract, but thank you. I do enjoy working at the bowling alley.
Oh really.
Man. It's windy as hell out there.
Wow, Dad. You really threw a tantrum like a little sissy girl?
Oh just that one time.
Actually, when I was about to have Bart...
You're pregnant?!
And then when I told him about Lisa...
You're pregnant again?!
And then when I told him about Lisa...
Well who wouldn't be upset? That new baby in your mother's womb was a ticking time bomb threatening to blow this family eight ways from Sunday! Hey, where're you going?
Ooh, I don't have that.
You're pregnant! We're gonna have to have a baby! All our financial plans are ruined. We're doomed! Doomed I tells ya!
Homer! Let your father tell the story.
Yeah.
Okay, but I know funny.
Anyhoo...
Okay, but I know funny.
We're doomed!
Homer, you had a head.
Check.
You've worked hard at the bowling alley. Why don't you ask for a raise?
Yeah, a raise! I've never been good enough at any job to deserve one before. But I'm damn good at this one. That's it! I'm gonna march right up to Al and say...
Oh.
My marketing plan attracted a record number of police and fire officials, but few stayed to bowl. I failed. Quitting my dream job was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Anyway, we all pitched in and we got you this little goin' away thing.
This was the happiest time of my life. I'll never forget you guys. Especially you, Joey.
See ya 'round, Mr. Homer.
Don't worry, Joey. We'll make it to California some day.
Yes, are you a new applicant?
Actually, I quit and I came to get my job back.
So, come crawling back, eh?
Seems like the classy thing to do would be not to call attention to it.
Well, actually -
I can't go on with this charade any longer. I hate my job. I hate my life. And ever since I found out about this baby there's been nothing but bad luck.
My contractions started an hour ago.
It's just in one ear and out the other with you isn't it, Marge.
Argh -- you're truly the catch of the day!
It's wonderful! It's magical! Oh boy, here it comes - another mouth.
One more push should do it.
Marvelous.
Congratulations, Mr. Simpson. You have a beautiful, healthy baby.
Okay.
Homie, I think someone is saying hello.
Hello. Aw. It's a boy... And what a boy.
Uh, that's the umbilical cord. It's a girl.
A girl! Oh Marge, we have a wonderful baby girl! Not just a girl, the most beautiful baby girl in the whole world!
Then why no pictures?
Oh, there are pictures. I keep them where I need the most cheering up.
NOOOOOOOOoooooooo!
...And then I sped away without anyone seeing my license plate.
Homer, what if this doesn't work?
Well then, I have a back-up plan. See, while the unprepared are still sitting around twiddling their thumbs and going doo-doo-doo-dee-doo-do-doo...
Dad, the plan!
I'm getting to that. So anyway, they're going, doo-dee-doo-do-doo...
Dad!
So anyway we get in our car and take the bridge out of town, while all the while they're still going, doo-dee-doo-do-doo...
Daaad, they're firing the rocket!
All right!
We're doomed!
It's at times like this I wish I were a religious man.
Turn it off.
Just a second.
Turn it off.
What's everyone so worked up about? So there's a comet. Big deal. It'll burn up in our atmosphere, and whatsever left will be no bigger than a chihuahua's head.
Wow, Dad. Maybe you're right.
Of course I'm right. If I'm not, may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow.
We have a bomb shelter?
Homer Simpson takes care of his family.
Hi-de-ho-e-roonie, neighbor. What can I do you for?
Get out of there. My family needs to use your bomb shelter.
I kinda figured this might happen, so I built the shelter big enough for both our families.
No deal. Out.
One more hour.
An hour! I can't wait another hour. What's keeping that stupid comet?
One more hour.
THERE it is.
All right!
I can't get the... I can't get the door closed. Somebody's going to have to get out.
And it will need somebody to dispense drinks, i.e. me. Um, and someone will have to run the power. Uh, you can do that, Homer.
Uh, yeah. I can do that.
Okay, let's start again. We'll need laughter, religious enlightenment, gossip -- that's Mrs. Lovejoy...
Wait a minute. We all know the one thing we won't need in the future: left handed stores. That's you, Flanders.
Okay, let's start again. We'll need laughter, religious enlightenment, gossip -- that's Mrs. Lovejoy...
I'm terribly sorry. Flanders is the only useless person here. If anyone dies, it should be him. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. So let's kick Flanders out. Sorry.
Say Moe, was it a duck?
No, no! Shut up! Shut up! Stop it, stop it! I can't take this anymore. I can't let that brave man out there die alone. I'm surprised and disgusted by all of you. Especially his children. I'm goin' out there.
Say Moe, was it a duck?
And it was a baby ox.
Yeah, dad was right.
I know kids, I'm scared too.
So I'll just make some more money. Crank out some cheesy merchandise.
I am holding still. I am squirming.
Finders keepers.
"This year give her English Muffins." Whatever you say, Mr. Billboard.
Finders keepers.
"Best in the West." It rhymes.
Finders keepers.
Clown college? You can't eat that.
Hey, Homer. The section you're supposed to be monitoring is on fire.
Clowns are funny.
I think I'll have some wine.
Marge.
Yes, Homie?
That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!
I don't think any of us expected him to say that.
Hurry up -- it's my first day of clown college.
Yeah dad, it was bad enough when you tried to pass yourself off as Tom Bosley. But Krusty!
You weren't complaining when I got you this close to Chachi.
New Hampshire.
Homer.
Those are supposed to be baggy pants. Baggy!
Ooh, I've never had a pair of pants that fit this well in my life.
Okay, memorize these funny place names. Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga, Seattle...
Stop it! You're killing me! Seattle...
And now everybody's favorite, the "spin cycle fantastique" trick. It's a great piece of buffoonery if you pull it off, but if you blow it, you'll look like a fool.
Steady, steady...
Now, when the wealthy dowager comes in, the party's over, right? Wrong.
Kill wealthy dowager.
This is the happiest day of my life. A-YAH-ha.
Got it! No shock for me .
And now, to help introduce our fantastic new burger, the one with ketchup, here he is, coming in by parachute.... Krusty the Klown!
To- Audience -I - now - proclaim - this - new - burger... for sale.
And now, to help introduce our fantastic new burger, the one with ketchup, here he is, coming in by parachute.... Krusty the Klown!
Lord save me.
It's the Krusty Burglar!
Omigod! He's stealing all the burgers! Why you little - I've got you!
I'm a boy.
That's the spirit. Never give up.
Hey, nice threads.
I'm beat, and after work I've got to dedicate a new jiffy lube and co-host the Ace Awards.
Well my time's almost up here, so uh, I'd just like to say I know Woody Allen.
And now the winner for the most promising new series on cable: old "Starsky and Hutches."
Let's walk and talk. I ah, I have some wonderful stories about other famous people that include me in some way.
Uh, can't. I've got to go distract bulls at a rodeo.
Hey! Me too! We can go together.
Uh... no. I'm going a different way than you, Dick.
Your churlish attitude reminds me of the time I was having dinner with Groucho, and...
Look, you're gonna be having dinner with Groucho tonight if you don't beat it.
