Who's gonna knock you down?
No one.
When are you gonna fight back?
Never.
What are you gonna do?
Nothing.
Okay. You're fighting a guy named Boxcar Bob.
Brawled his way up from the boxcars, did he?
Homer, I want you to have my lucky mitts. I hope you do better with 'em than I did.
Gee, thanks, Moe... What's this?
I gotta be honest with ya, Homer. I didn't bring you up here to show you my new tar-paper.
You... didn't?
No. Homer, how would you like to be Heavyweight Champion of the World?
Uh, sure.
Great. All you gotta do is fight Drederick Tatum. It's this Saturday. Here's your parking pass.
Ooh, "General!" Who's Drederick Tatum, anyway? Is he another hobo?
Uh, you know what? I'm gonna have to check on that...
Well, I trust you, Moe. If you say I can beat this guy, then he doesn't stand a chance.
Homer, why are they saying you're going to fight Drederick Tatum?
Uh, well... I was gonna surprise you, but, um... happy anniversary, baby!
Have you lost your mind?!
Aw, c'mon, I'll make a fortune for one night's work! We could have all the things we always dreamed of: a snooty butler, carpeted car ports, those blue cupcakes they sell sometimes --
But you'll get killed!
Marge, will you let me finish? ...Plug-in room deodorizers, front and rear spoilers for the car --
Mom's right, Dad. The odds against you winning are a thousand to one.
Well, I don't think it's that unlikely.
Those are the odds they're giving in Vegas.
All right, I think we've heard just about enough from Mr. Newspaper today.
All right, Homer, I'm not going to lie to you: there's a good chance you can beat Tatum. But you gotta visualize how you're going to win, okay?
Gotcha.
Due to popular demand, we will forgo our national anthem. And now, Ladies and gentlemen, LET'S GET READY TO RUM-BLE!!!
Okay, Homer, nothing to be worried about... just--
Oh, my God! Simpson's manager has flown into the ring and is airlifting him out! Ladies and gentlemen, whatever dignity remained in boxing is literally flying out the window!
Are you an angel?
Yes, Homer, I'm an angel. All us angels wear Farah slacks.
But you stopped the fight. Won't everyone be mad at you?
Yes, Homer, I'm an angel. All us angels wear Farah slacks.
Aaar, matey.
Oh, Homie, are you okay?
I can't remember where we parked.
I got your tooth, Dad!
Eh, not mine.
Well, so long, Springfield...
Where are you going?
I feel sorry for everyone who's cooped up inside watching the seventh game of the World Series!
Yeah, they won't learn anything about apples today.
Well, if God didn't make little green apples -- it's Homer Simpson! How long have you been here?
Twenty of the suckiest minutes of my life.
I can't excape Lisa, our little walking libary!
Can't they get a pole for that sign?
That's a hitchhiker, Homer.
Ooh, let's pick him up!
No! What if he's crazy?
And what if he's not? Then we'd look like idiots.
We're not picking him up!
Oh, yes we are!
There's not enough room!
Oh, yes, there is!
I just don't think it's a good idea.
And I think it's the best idea I've ever had! We're picking up the weirdo, and that's final.
He stole my fiancée.
He made fun of my weight.
Hey, relax. I don't wanna work. I'm so lazy, I took lessons on the player piano.
Wow, that's really lazy.
Lazy? You're not kidding. I'm like a rug on Valium, I'm talkin' lazy.
So lazy.
Oh, "yakkety-yak-yak"... You, Foodbag -- do you have a son?
Yes, sir. I do.
And is he a constant disappointment? Does he bring home nitwits and make you talk to them?
Oh, all the time! Have you ever heard of this kid Milhouse? He's a little wiener who...
I'll tell you what's with me -- the humiliation of having a coarse, boorish, ignoramus for a son!
Eh, I should go.
Sheesh, Dad and I, we started out great, but now it's fallin' apart, like a Chinese motorcycle.
It's so unfair. You're everything a dad could hope for.
Yeah. I tell ya, I don't get no regard, no regard at all. No esteem, either.
Larry, there's only one sure way to make him realize how much he loves you. And that... is a phony kidnapping.
Yeah, right. I dunno, maybe I should just leave town.
Pho-ny kid-napping...
What are you doing in the basement? It's like you're hiding out down here.
Hiding out? Marge, you've been reading too many hideout books.
And what's that hitchhiker doing here? Is every drifter we meet going to move in with us?
Of course not. We'll decide that on a drifter-by-drifter basis.
Ahoy-hoy?
Hello, Mr. Burns, this is the kidnapper. Do you miss your son?
Yes! I'm missing one son! Return it immediately!
If you really love Larry, prove it and you can have him back today.
Oh, how much proof do you need? Five thousand? Six thousand? I swear, that's all I've got.
Don't you care about your son? This is more important than money!
More important than money? Who is this?
Just a second.
Can't we just go upstairs?
No!
Kidnapped?!
Marge, it's not a real kidnapping. It's a simple hoax to win a father's love.
You know how I feel about hoaxes!
Still?
I want you to take Larry back to Mr. Burns right now, before you get in a lot of trouble.
What... But... Marge, it's broad daylight and there's cops everywhere!
We gotta find someplace to hide!
The abandoned warehouse!
Drive faster, Grandma! Grandma's gaining on us!
Heh-heh, they'll never look for us here.
Some people are trying to watch the movie!
You don't like it, call the cops!
With pleasure, sir.
Hold on, Mr. Burns. Maybe we did fake a kidnapping, but is that really such a crime? All your son wanted was a little attention, a little love.
With pleasure, sir.
I'm a father myself, sir. And sure, sometimes my kids can be obnoxious... or boring... or stinky --
With pleasure, sir.
-- but they can always count on one thing: their father's unconditional love.
And where is all that liquor coming from?
It's a party, Marge. It doesn't have to make sense.
Da-ad! V-chip, V-chip!
Sorry, sorry. My fault.
We interrupt this cartoon for a Special Report.
Someone found my keys!
Now, the cat needs his medication every morning --
No problem... Can do.
And the furnace has been giving off a lot of carbon monoxide, so keep the window o--
Right... Uh huh... Gotcha... Cat in the furnace.
Woo hoo!
A whole week of just father and son! See you at dinner.
What time?
You know, I don't know.
Shall we say ten?
All right. Just wake me up.
Dad, do I have to brush my teeth?
No, but at least rinse your mouth out with soda.
Dad, I think I need some fresh air. Can I go to the park?
Do I have to sit up?
No.
Knock yourself out.
Your son was trespassing on my property and destroyed a very valuable stone gargoyle, and... are you wearing a grocery bag?
I have misplaced my pants.
I'm not going to press charges, but I assume you'll want to punish him.
'Preciate the suggestion, lady, but he hates that. And I gotta live with him.
Well, if you won't discipline him, I'll come back and speak with his mother.
No! Wait! Wait! Madam, I run a house of discipline. The boy will be disciplined, and disciplined severely. Good day.
Well, if you won't discipline him, I'll come back and speak with his mother.
Oh, I don't know how to punish you! What does Marge usually do?
She makes me taste beer.
C'mon, boy. Give your old man a little credit.
She makes me taste beer.
Yeah, well, I still get to punish you.
It's eleven o'clock. Do you know where your children are?
I told you last night, no! Where is Bart, anyway? His dinner's getting all cold and eaten.
I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Bart was filling in for --
I don't care if he was filling in for Mel Zetz! He's my son and I don't want him --
I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Bart was filling in for --
working... so... late... that...
Oh, I agree. Kids need rules and boundaries.
Yes, everyone loves rules...
It's so tough to be a parent these days, what with all the gangs and the drugs...
Oh, yeah, drugs. Ya gotta have drugs.
This is the National Air and Space Museum, isn't it?
Uh, this isn't gonna be about Jesus, is it?
That's true, but I was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there.
Helen, as a responsible parent, I was already well aware of that.
Homer, I'm as permissive as the next parent. I mean, just yesterday, I let Todd buy some Red Hots with a cartoon devil on the box. But you can't possibly think it's appropriate for your ten-year-old son to work in a burlesque house!
Oh, no?! Well, if Homer Simpson wants his ten-year-old son working in a burlesque house, then Homer Simpson's ten-year-old son is going to work in a burlesque house! That's...
Homer, I'm as permissive as the next parent. I mean, just yesterday, I let Todd buy some Red Hots with a cartoon devil on the box. But you can't possibly think it's appropriate for your ten-year-old son to work in a burlesque house!
Hi! Now, Marge, you're going to hear a lot of crazy talk about Bart working in a burlesque house...
"Maison Derriere"?! I can't believe there's a place like that in our wholesome little town. Homer, did you know it was a burlesque house when you sent Bart to work there?
No! I only learned that four days ago.
What were you thinking, sending Bart to such an awful place?
I was trying to punish him exactly like you would. So, in a way, you really dropped the ball on this one. This is your mess and I'll be damned if I'm gonna clean it up!
Dad, we can't let this happen to Belle! Do something!
Don't you worry, son.
Dad, we can't let this happen to Belle! Do something!
My friends! Stop!
Please hurry.
Sure, we could tear this house down...
Please hurry.
No! My friends! Stop!
Please hurry.
Let me finish. We could tear it down, but we'd be tearing down a part of ourselves...
Please hurry.
You could close down Moe's or the Kwik-E-Mart, and nobody would care / But the heart and soul of Springfield's in our Maison Derriere...
Stop! No!
What are you doing, Marge? Didn't you hear the song?
Chip!
Take it off!
All right, Dad, you've been warned. Let's go.
Hey...
C'mon...
Easy...
Is it really necessary to watch TV while we're eating? We're getting food all over.
Yoink.
Hello Marge. How's the family? I don't want to talk about it. Mind your own business.
Keep it down in there, everybody.
Homer, is this the way you pictured married life?
Yup, pretty much. Except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.
Well, I pictured cocktail parties and candle-lit dinners. I pictured napkins... Homer, I want to throw a dinner party.
Oh, I hate having parties. The toilet always gets backed up.
Oooh, a punch bowl like that just screams good taste. Wouldn't it be perfect for the dinner party?
Oh, we can't afford that. Who do you think I am, Liz Taylor?
Well... maybe we could use it once and then return it.
Marge, we're not talking about a toothbrush here.
Homer?!
Whaaaaaat?!
