You found a candy bar?
Oh, yes! Gather 'round, my son, and I shall tell you a tale...
They're not going to close the plant, are they?
No, the bank put Lenny in charge.
There's got to be more trash around here somewhere...
Hey, why don't you try the old folks home? They practically live in their own filth!
Thanks, Dad!
You're welcome, honey.
Ah, the baby who shot me. No, I was referring to your other daughter.
Lisa! You have a guest!
Ah, the baby who shot me. No, I was referring to your other daughter.
So, um, how's life in the gutter?
"Nothing evil." That's exactly the kind of radical thinking I need! It's a deal.
See that, boy? Why aren't you making any business deals?
Well, Lisa, as my advisor, you're entitled to ten percent.
It's all right. I understand. But we really could have used that twelve thousand dollars.
And from our "It's Funny When It Happens To Them" file... Remember millionaire C. Montgomery Burns? The man who blocked out our sun, ran over a local boy, and stole Christmas from 1981 to 1985? Well, guess who's flat broke and picking up trash for a living?
Please be Flanders, please be Flanders, please be Flanders...
Wow, he went from stinking rich to just plain stinking.
Good one, Mom! / You're so bad, honey.
Lisa, nobody likes a gloater. Right, Homie?
Uh-huh.
Oh, I can't get the smell of slurry out of my clothes! I was a fool to help that horrible old man!
Oh, I hope you learned your lesson, Lisa. Never help anyone.
Simpson, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at work?
I made a bad mistake and Lenny sent me home to think about what I did. But I don't remember what it was so I'm watching TV.
Oh my goodness. Kids! Homer! We're late for church! I'm glad I dressed last night.
Oh, I'd love to go with you, honey, but I've got a lot of work to do around the bed.
Homer, the Lord only asks for an hour a week.
In that case, he should've made the week an hour longer. Lousy God.
...and the very same goes for Ezekiel, which brings us back to our starting point, the nine tenets of constancy.
DAMMIT!!
Hey, calm down. You're wrinkling your church clothes!
Who cares? This is the best part of the week!
The dump?
Yeah. We're gonna get rid of the Christmas tree. It's starting to turn brown.
The dump?
Wanna come with?
No, no, I don't feel like going to a trash pile today.
It's your life.
It looks Japanese.
Wh... what's going on? Wh... wha... why am I on a Japanese box?
It looks Japanese.
Oh, my God, what is that?...
I don't know... guilt?
Volunteering is for suckers! Do you know that so-called "volunteers" don't even get paid?
Homer! Will you get that crazy box off the dinner table? It came from the dump.
But Marge, I'm obsessed with it! Where did it come from? What is it a box of? How'd my face get on it?!
Hai!
Akira, can you read this for me?
Yes. You have very lucky dishes, Mr. Simpson. This soap is from the sacred forest of Hokkaido. Renowned for its countless soap factories.
Hokkaido, eh?
Okay. Here you go. The phone book for Hokkaido, Japan.
Thank you. May I please use your phone?
Is it a local call?
Y-y-y-yes.
Moshi-moshi?
Yes. This is Homer Simpson from America. Who may I say is speaking to me?
Hello Chief. Let's talk why not?
Uh, hello? Why am I Mr. Sparkle?
Oh, you like Mr. Sparkle?
Well, I am Mr. Sparkle!
Look, we got a package from the Mr. Sparkle Company in Japan!
Ow!
It's a videotape!
Put it in! Put it in!
Bor-ing.
That didn't explain anything. All I know is they stole my face and used it for their stupid "logo". There's no other explanation.
Yep. There's your answer, Fish Bulb.
Well, it was a good ride while it lasted. C'mon kids. Let's go home.
We are home.
That was fast.
He... Mista Sparkaru! Mista Sparkaru!
Konichi-wa.
Play dead!
No, run around in circles!
...Baboons to the left of me, baboons to the right, the speeding locomotive tore through a sea of inhuman fangs. A pair of the great apes rose up at me, but BIFF! BAM! I sent them flying like two hairy footballs. A third came screaming at me And that's when I got mad...
Now that's religion.
Yes, sir.
Chair goes round... chair goes round.
Hey, Homer, ya busy?
Yes.
Uh, maybe we oughta say "Hi" to him.
I don't know. I'm kind of dizzy. I should probably go home sick.
How do you do.
Wow. You've got pencils with your name on 'em. Just like a pencil company executive. I'd give anything for one of these.
Oh, yeah. Carl and I each have a masters. 'Course old Homer, he didn't need a degree. He just showed up the day they opened the plant.
I didn't even know what a nuclear panner plant was.
Um... Yeah... Well, listen, I'm... sure we all have a lot of work to do.
Hey, you seem like a great guy, so I'll give you a little tip. If you turn that security camera around, you can sleep and no one will ever know.
Uh, I don't think we're being paid to sleep.
Oh, yeah, they're always trying to screw ya.
My name is Grimes, uh, Simpson. Frank Grimes. I took the trouble to learn your name. The least you can do is learn mine.
Okay, Grimy!
You're eating my special dietetic lunch.
Huh?
You're eating my special dietetic lunch.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
The bag was clearly marked. Please be more careful in the future.
Check.
I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my office, Simpson.
I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard that. TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME / TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL! So what's new, Grimy?
Look at your control panel!
Oh. A five THIRTEEN. I'll handle it.
Look at your control panel!
That got it.
You idiot! You nearly drank a beaker full of sulfuric acid!
Acid, eh? Gee, that would have been stupid. Boy would my face have been red!
Who did this to my wall?
He did.
Come with me.
He likes you.
But, Sir, if I could...
Hi, Grimy, old buddy.
I'm not your buddy, Simpson. I don't like you. In fact, I hate you. Stay the hell away from me! Because from now on... we're enemies!
Okay. Do I have to do anything?
INT. MOE'S TAVERN - continuous)
Oh, I can't believe it. I've got an enemy. Me! The most beloved man in Springfield.
Ah, it's a weird world, Homer. As hard as it is to believe, some people don't care for me, neither.
No, I won't accept that.
Okay, gimme that. Gimme it back!
Oh, what'll I do, Moe?
Well, why don't you invite him over to dinner. Turn him from an enemy into a friend. Then when he's not expecting it, bam! The old fork in the eye.
Do you think it might work without the fork in the eye?
Okay.
Marge -- perfect. Bart -- perfect. Other kid -- perfect.
I only have five lobsters. Are you sure he's not bringing anyone with him?
No, no. He doesn't know he's coming to dinner. I didn't think he'd come, so I called and said I had something really important to tell him and that I could only tell him about it here.
I only have five lobsters. Are you sure he's not bringing anyone with him?
It's him! It's him it's him it's him it's him it's him it's him it's him it's him it's him it's him!...
Calm down, Homer. Calm down. Answer the door.
Welcome-to-the-Simpson-residence-or-Casa-De-Simpson-as-I-call-it-heh-heh-heh-heh.
Yeah. What did you want to see me about, Simpson? This better be important.
It is. It is. But first let me introduce you to my family. My perfect family.
Yeah. What did you want to see me about, Simpson? This better be important.
This is my wife, Marge...
Hello.
... and our beautiful baby. My daughter, Lisa -- I.Q. 156.
Hi.
See. And my son, Bart -- he owns a factory downtown.
How do you do. Look, Homer, I'm I'm late for my night job at the foundry, so if you don't mind telling m... Good heavens! Th-this is a palace. How can... how in the world can you afford to live in a house like this, Simpson?
I 'unno. Don't ask me how the economy works.
Yeah, but look at the size of this place. I-I-I live in a single room, above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley.
Wow.
I... I'm sorry, isn't that...?
Yeah, that's me all right. And the guy standing next to me is President Gerald Ford. And this is when I was on tour with The Smashing Pumpkins. Oh, and here's a picture of me in outer space.
You. Went into outer space. You.
Sure. You've never been?
You. Went into outer space. You.
Would you like to see my Grammy Award?
No! I wouldn't Gaw, I've had to work hard every day of my life. And what do I have to show for it? This briefcase, and this haircut. And what do you have to show for your lifetime of sloth and ignorance?
What?
Everything! -- A dream house, two cars, a beautiful wife, a son who owns a factory, fancy clothes, and lobsters for dinner. And do you deserve any of it? No!
What are you saying?
Homer, why aren't you at work?
The car won't start. And I don't feel very good today. I am at work.
You're afraid to go to work because Frank Grimes will be there, aren't you?
Wh-- th-- that's crazy talk. You're crazy, Marge. Get off the road.
He doesn't hate you. He just feels insecure because you're getting through life so easily and it's been so difficult for him.
Yeah, yeah, that's his problem. He's a nut. It's not about me being lazy, it's about him being a crazy nut!
Just a little more... Then he won't have any reason to resent you.
I'll do it. To professionalism!
Oh, here we go.
Oh. Design your own power plant, eh? This is my chance to show everyone how professional I am.
Oh, here we go.
Lenny, tell Mr. Burns I've gone home to work on the contest.
I wouldn't bother him, honey. He's making some kind of model for a contest. He says it's really high-tech stuff that we wouldn't understand.
Marge, do we have any elbow macaroni and glue-on sparkles?
Pipe down!
Well, basically I just copied the plant we have now...
I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it for me. D'oh d'oh d'oh!
Hey, you okay, Grimy?
I'm better than okay. I'm Homer Simpson.
You wish.
Frank Grimes, or "Grimy" as he liked to be called, taught us that a man can triumph over adversity. And even though Frank's agonizing struggle through life was tragically cut short, I'm sure he's looking down...
Change the channel, Marge.
Well, golly, I'd love to chat, but my son's been kidnapped. You haven't seen him, have you? Caucasian male, between the ages of six and ten, thinning hair?
Over there.
Hey, I'm sweet. I'm sweeter than Jewish wine.
Barney, where's my car?!!
Then prove it. I want you to charm the next pretty young thing that walks through that door.
Ah, grrrreetings!
Son, it's me! I floated up toward heaven, but got lost along the way!
Dad? Is that really you?
Darn tootin', ya lousy fink! You buried me naked and sold my suit to buy a ping-pong table! What kind of a son--
Call me when you get a karaoke machine.
Here he is!
I'm hiding from th-th-th-th-the ghost.
Ghost? What ghost?
B-b-before the show, you said we were having a Special Ghost tonight!
You know Homer, we've all been busy as beavers preparing for our very own show.
Marge, have you ever imagined what it would be like if we really were beavers?
Yes! And it might look something like this...
Honey, I'm home!
Yes! And it might look something like this...
It's not a plant, Marge, it's a tree, and I've nearly chewed through it. Now remember, my new boss is coming home for dinner tonight.
In a minute, Homie. I have to get the door.
But, Marge...!
Inflation, trade deficit, horrible war atrocities... how are we supposed to do our big musical number with so many problems in the world?
Well, I know one thing in this world that's still pure and good.
