Hello, I'm Shary Bobbins.
HomerDid you say Mary Pop—
[interrupts] No, I definitely did not! I'm an original creation, like Rickey Rouse and Monald Muck.
Relax, Homer. You'll do fine. I'm June Bellamy. I do the voices of Itchy and Scratchy.
HomerYou? But you're a lady.
[mimicking Itchy] She's a lady, all right. [mimicking Scratchy] A beautiful lady.
Homer[laughing] Hey, that really is you. How did you get to be so good?
Oh, just experience, I suppose. I started out as Road Runner. [mimicking The Road Runner] Meep!
HomerYou mean "Meep, meep"?
No. They only paid me to say it once, then they doubled it on the soundtrack. Cheap bastards.
Uh, question for Ms. Bellamy. In episode 2F09*, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a... [the nerds chuckle] a magic xylophone or something? Gee, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Uh, well, uh...
HomerI'll field this one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?
[embarrassed pause] I withdraw my question. [starts eating a candy bar]
[In the latest episode of "Itchy and Scratchy," Itchy has frozen Scratchy in an ice block for an ice-sculpting contest. Itchy begins to slice Scratchy with a chainsaw, but then Poochie walks in.]
Well, look who's here!
Hi, Poochie. You look like you've got something to say. Do you?
Yes, I certainly do! [his image freezes, and we hear Myers's voice dubbing over the image, saying...] I have to go now. My planet needs me.
[The animation cel with Poochie on it actually slides upward in a choppy manner as a slide-whistle sound is heard. Then a handwritten note in red marker appears, reading: "NOTE: Poochie died on the way back to his home planet."]
Wow! Poochie came from another planet?
Uh, I guess...
HomerHey, that wasn't supposed to happen! Those finks double-crossed me! [see Krusty on TV]
Poochie's dead! [laughing; children in the audience cheer loudly] Well, kids, we all know that sometimes when cartoon characters die, they're back again the very next week. That's why I'm presenting this sworn affidavit that Poochie will never, ever, ever return! [Blue-Haired Lawyer examines the affidavit]
This document conforms to all applicable laws and statutes. [kids cheer]
Homer, what have you got against gays?
HomerYou know! It's not...usual! If there was a law, it would be against it!
Oh, please, Homer, you're embarrassing yourself!
HomerNo, I'm not, Marge! They're embarrassing me! They're embarrassing America! They turned the Navy into a floating joke. They ruined all our best names, like Bruce, and Lance, and Julian. Those were the toughest names we had! Now they're just, uh...
Queer?
HomerYeah! And that's another thing: I resent you people using that word. That's our word for making fun of you! We need it! Well, I'm taking back our word, and I'm taking back my son!
[to workers] Hey! Listen up! I want all of youse to say hello to the Simpsons.
[waving in a sissy-like way] Hell-o-o!
Homer[gasps] Has the whole world gone insane?
[High-pitched effeminate voice] Stand still, there's a spark in your hair!
[Similar voice] Get it, get it, get it!
[Homer whimpers]
[walks past Homer holding a vat of hot steel in hot pants] Hot stuff, comin' through!
HomerAah!
Dad, why'd you bring me to a gay steel mill?
HomerI don't know! This is a NIGHTMARE! [to the workers; angrily turns red] YOU'RE ALL SICK!
[waves his hand] Oh, be nice!
HomerOhh! My son doesn't stand a chance! The whole world's gone gay! [a whistle goes off] Oh my God, what's happening now?
We work hard. We play hard.
[He pulls a chain, and the entire mill is transformed into a night club called "The Anvil", with all the workers dancing to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)". Homer slowly backs away, frightened, covering Bart's eyes.]
And whenever I could find a spare moment, I've tried to murder Bart Simpson.
[Bart screams as he sees Sideshow Bob on TV, runs upstairs to his room, door closes]
HomerHe said tried!
Someone should really go up there and talk to him.
[Lisa sighs as she goes upstairs to checks on Bart in his room]
[Homer sighs]
Homer!
HomerOhh, all those stairs.
[Homer, Marge and Maggie goes upstairs to checks on Bart in his room]
[Homer answers the door to Ned Flanders]
Homer, I've got a Fozzie of a bear of a problem! See, Maude and her mother were visiting Tyre and Sidon, the twin cities of the Holy Land. Well, they must have kneeled in the wrong place, and prayed to the wrong god, because, well, they're being held prisoner by militants of some sort!
HomerMilitants, huh? Well, if I were you, I'd kick their asses.
Well, any whodilly-doodle, the embassy says it's a routine hostage-taking, but I have to drive to Capitol City and fill out forms to get them out. Could you possibly watch the kids tonight?
HomerOh, gee, I'd really love to wanna help you, Flanders, but, uh... Marge was... taken prisoner in the....Holy Land, and, uh...
[tugging at Homer's hand] I'll do it! I'll babysit!
Well, I dunno, Lisa. You're awfully young, and the boys can be a handful. Todd's been pinching everyone lately!
But I'm smart and responsible and my parents will be right next door!
Well, whaddya say, Homer? Can Lisa babysit my kids?
Please, please, please?
HomerEh, I'll have to ask her. [slams the door]
[When Homer drives through the waterfront at the Squidport grand opening]
HomerI love these pedestrian malls. There's practically no traffic.
Homer, I think you should stop. The mayor's yelling at us.
[shouts] Stop! You idiots!
What happened to you Homer? And what have you done to the car?
HomerNothing.
I don't think it had broken axles before.
HomerBefore, before. You're living in the past, Marge, quit living in the past!
[Homer and Bart come out of the basement with another wheelbarrow of bowling balls filled with beer]
HomerWait a minute, I forgot to make sure the coast was clear. Eh, it's probably clear, let's go.
[Homer walks forward with the wheelbarrow of bowling balls, but stops when Marge and Lisa are stood in the way. He shrieks and the wheelbarrow falls over, with the bowling balls sprawling on the floor and the beer pours out.]
Beer!
HomerI can explain, Marge! Please let me explain! OH WHY WON'T YOU LET ME EXPLAIN?!
You're the one the papers have been talking about. That mysterious Beer Baron who's been supplying Springfield with alcohol. How have you been getting away with this?
HomerWell... and I can explain remember. I fill the balls with beer that I found at the dump, then bowl them, and some underground pipes stick 'em into Moe's.
Homer, that's very clever!
HomerHuh?
[surprised] Mom?
Well it is. I've known your father since high school and this is the cleverest thing he's ever done. Besides, he's only breaking a silly 200-year old law.
HomerIt is silly, Marge. And look at all the money I'm making!
[Homer shows Marge the dollar bills.]
Ooh!
Mom! Prohibition may be unpopular, but it's the law, and we still have-
[Homer, Marge and Bart point upwards.]
GO TO YOUR ROOM LISA!
[Rex Banner suspiciously eyes passers-by on the sidewalk. He grabs Ned Flanders.]
Are you the Beer Baron?
Well, if you're talking about root beer, I plead guil-diddly-ilty as char-diddly-arged.
[To Eddie and Lou] He's not the Baron. But he sounds drunk. Bring him in!
[Next, he grabs Comic Book Guy]
Are you the Baron?
Yes, but only by night. By day, I'm a mild-mannered reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper.
Don't crack wise with me, tubby!
"Tubby?" [looking at his ample gut] Oh, yes. "Tubby."
[Homer and Bart suddenly pass by, towing behind them a wagon full of hops, barley and sour mash.]
HomerHey, Banner. How's it hangin'?
None of your business.
[Homer and Bart are making bathtub gin and other liqor in the basement]
Now you're making your own alcohol? That's even more illegal than what you were doing before.
HomerLisa remember we're disobeying an unjust law here. We're patriots, like... all those people in jail.
HomerWait a minute. Bart's teacher's name is Krabappel? I've been calling her Crandall. Why didn't someone tell me? I've been making an idiot out of myself!
Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.
Baby looked at you? Sarah, get me Superintendent Chalmers! [Sarah dials the phone] Thank you, Sarah!
I'm going to get the dog back!
HomerThe bad dog or the good dog?
The bad dog.
HomerOh, good.
