Maybe you could be a dunce, Father.
Really?
Hey!
Whaddaya think? Do you love it?
Hey!
Oh, I'm no dunce. I was born an oaf, and I'll die an oaf.
But Husband, without your weekly pittance, how shall we feed our children?
Don't worry. No child will ever starve in my home.
Go back and get them!
Here's a better idea -- I know how we can replace those children.
Father, I knew you'd rescue us!
Oh, rescue you, stuff myself with candy... It's all good.
Oh, that's a load-bearing candy cane, you clumsy oaf!
Oh, that's all you got? Huh? Huh?
Oh, that's a load-bearing candy cane, you clumsy oaf!
Mmmm, fish. Oh no, that's me!
Uh, hello, I'm George Cauldron. Is Suzanne ready yet?
Almost. Just give her another twenty minutes.
Speaking of which, how about seconds?
Comin' up!
Gray, bottle-nosed, intelligent Italians.
Intelligent Italians? Something's wrong.
Those dolphins seem bent on mayhem. We've gotta warn Grampa.
Hmm. Phone's off the hook. Everything must be okay.
That was you?!
It was her, all right. Take the one who wronged you.
I, I, I tuned out. Where we goin'?
Wait, stop! We can outsmart those dolphins! Don't forget, we invented computers, leg warmers, bendy straws, peel n' eat shrimp, the glory hole, and the pudding cup. I'm not gonna let a few hoop-jumping tuna-munchers push me around!
I, I, I tuned out. Where we goin'?
Uh-oh.
Oh, no. You poor thing. Here...
Hey, leave my daughter alone! C'mon, humans! We've wiped out entire species before. We can do it again!
If I could just... This is really not... You're hurting my...
C'mon lads! Let's drive them back to the ocean!
No, there's a badger in there.
Badger, my ass. It's probably Milhouse.
No, there's a badger in there.
Milhouse? Milhouse?
No, there's a badger in there.
It's a badger all right... Or possibly a griffin. Bart, do you have any dynamite in your room?
Tons.
Get it.
No, Dad! We don't want to kill him! Let's call animal control.
Great idea. Then we should call the doctor about this.
How did the badger do that without ripping your shirt?
What am I, a tailor?
Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please make sure you have the correct area code.
Area code? But it's a local call.
The phone company ran out of numbers, so they split the city into two area codes. Half the town keeps the old 636 area code and our half gets 939.
939?! What the hell is that? Oh, my life is ruined.
Geez, you just have to remember three extra numbers.
Oh, if only it were that easy, Marge.
Geez, you just have to remember three extra numbers.
Go away. We've got bigger problems now.
Geez, you just have to remember three extra numbers.
I'm not gonna stand for this. I'm gonna call the newspapers, the TV stations, the gas stations, everybody.
I'm not sure which one's better. The 6 is closer to the 3, so you've got convenience there, but the 9 has less to do with Satan, which is a plus in this religious world of ours.
What really burns me up is they didn't give us one word of warning.
Don't forget the leaflets they dropped from the space shuttle. And the two weeks we all spent at Area Code Camp.
Not a single word of warning.
... 0, 1, 1... aaannnd 3.
That's my number!
Ahoy hoy.
Hey, that's not me!
Congratulations, you're gonna rendezvous with the Who!
It's not fair! I've been a fan of the Who since the very beginning, when they were the Hillbilly Bugger Boys.
You should call that radio station and let 'em have it.
Good idea.
... has been replaced by the convenience of two area codes.
Uh, I have a question, Phoney.
It's a movie, Dad.
Quiet, honey. Daddy's asking the man a question.
I like it.
Wait a minute! We haven't heard from me yet. The nut with the dynamite. The phone company is bamboozling you!
I never!
And as usual, we Joe Twelve-Packs get the royal screw job.
/ He's right. / We're gettin' it but good.
Well, I've had it! You rich snobs aren't pushin' us around anymore!
What are you pathetic slobs gonna do about it?
Well, I...
What are you pathetic slobs gonna do about it?
Nice wiring, Bart.
It worked on the test-corpse.
Okay, Plan B. Fellow 9-3-9'ers, I say we break off and form our own city!
Viva la revolución!
Now who's stupid?
Say, I couldn't help but overhear. I represent the Arizona Cardinals...
Keep walkin'
Yeah, maybe you oughta be Mayor of New Springfield.
Mayor, eh?
The Mayor... Starring Homer Simpson.
I reluctantly accept this highly-paid, glamorous job.
Presenting our new plaque. I say the time for bitterness has passed. Let us extend to our brothers in New Springfield the olive branch of...
New Springfield rocks!
Go ahead and laugh! We have a better town bird!
Oh yeah? What is it?
The bluebird.
Damnit!
More wheat cakes, Mr. Mayor?
Read my lips: Yes.
Dad, you got syrup on your sash.
No problem.
If you ask me...
Stop right there.
... it's stupid to divide the city over something as silly as an area code. It would be like you and mom splitting up every time you have a fight.
Sweetie, you know your mother and I only stay together for the sake of my political career.
That's not true.
Big grins!
That's not true.
That'll play great in the sticks.
That's not true.
Oh, that was fifty already?
As expected, New Springfield's bold experiment in slob rule is a disaster.
Hey, the TV man is talking about us!
Scientists say they are also less attractive physically. And while we speak in a well-educated manner, they tend to use lowbrow expressions, like "oh yeah?" and "c'mere a minute."
Oh yeah? They think they're better than us, huh? Bart, c'mere a minute.
You c'mere a minute.
Oh yeah?
Dad, I don't think this is such a good idea.
Thank you, Marge. Now, let's see how Olde Snobfield does without electricity.
Dad, I don't think this is such a good idea.
Woo hoo!
In retaliation for the power outage, Olde Springfield patriots have intercepted a beer truck bound for New Springfield and dumped all the beer in the river.
Those rich, snobby Indians.
I don't know. Vengeance is pretty good.
Woo hoo! Flood from water!
We can't go on fighting with Olde Springfield. These people are our neighbors. We see them every day.
You're right. We've got to block them from our sight with a giant wall.
Like the one in Berlin?
Good idea. We should call the guys they used.
Homer...
It's ringing.
'Bout what?
Loyal citizens of New Springfield. You stayed on my side of town despite a total lack of hospitals and schools, and a sewage nightmare that threatens to consume us all.
Bye Homer.
I can't believe all those rats fled my town.
Bye Homer.
Guess it's just us and the tumbleweeds.
Well, Dad, you're mayor of a ghost town.
I can't believe those traitors abandoned us. They couldn't take one lousy famine.
Dad, you're bleeding.
No problem.
Dad, you're bleeding.
Anyhow, those rats'll come crawling back...
Dad, you're bleeding.
We've got the Who playing here tonight.
Don't give up, Dad. Maybe we can get The Who to play here instead.
Hey, maybe we could. But we'll need some liquid persuasion.
Don't give up, Dad. Maybe we can get The Who to play here instead.
C'mon, Bart. We're gonna bring back The Who.
Can I help you?
Uh...
Dad, the chloroform!
Huh? Oh, right.
Dad, the chloroform!
I'll give you this bottle of chloroform if you'll take us to The Who.
Oh, yeah, right. I got fired by The Who. Whatever you say, pal. Wack-o...
Wow, The Who!
Oh, yeah, right. I got fired by The Who. Whatever you say, pal. Wack-o...
Woo! Rock 'n' roll!
Yeah, we don't want to lose our pool privileges.
Whatever. The point is, I'm Homer Simpson.
The mayor of New Springfield?
That's right.
The crazy mayor of New Springfield?
That's right. And I implore you to move your concert to our town. Don't play Olde Springfield, or as it is sometimes known, Sun City.
Sacred bond.
C'mon, what happened to the angry, defiant Who of "My Generation," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and "Mama's Got a Squeeze Box"?
We know our songs, Homer.
But those Olde Springfield squares are just gonna make you cut your hair, turn down your music and wear frilly shirts like Keith Partridge.
Just send a cab for us.
Somethin' wrong with your legs?
We were expecting a bigger crowd.
Oh, don't worry. They'll be here soon. And then they'll see who's got the better town.
We were expecting a bigger crowd.
Now these are the tunes I want you boys to play.
And we don't know "Pacman Fever."
Oh, c'mon, it plays itself. "Pacman Fever / A do do do do / It's driving me crazy." Look Lisa, Daddy's in the Who!
Give us back our concert, Simpson!
So, New Springfield's lookin' pretty good now, isn't it? With our ample parking and daily Who concerts.
Daily?
We'll talk.
All right, enough chit chat. Let's see how ya like flaming garbage!
Ha-ha. You hit the tire fire! You'll have to do...
All right, enough chit chat. Let's see how ya like flaming garbage!
Why me?
Uh, says you.
"Magic Bus"!
Okay, we'll play "Magic Bus" if you tear down this wall.
"Pinball Wizard"!
Oh hell, I'll do it myself...
Well Marge, looks like your insane experiment is over.
Hey, we just took care of that dangerous melon that was threatening our garden.
Yeah, we're heroes... But where's our parade?
Or is it?
Yeah, it's hopeless.
I said, or is it?
I said, it's... Ohhh...
Homer, what are you doing?!
Listen, do you want the job done right or do you want it done fast?
