Bart, stop creating a diversion and get out of here!
[Bart and Lisa are watching Itchy and Scratchy. Marge enters (in reused footage from earlier episode]
How many times can you laugh at that cat getting hit by the moon?
BartIt's a new episode.
Not exactly. They pieced it together from old shows, but it seems new to the trusting eyes of impressionable youth.
Bart[switches to new footage] Really?
Ren & Stimpy do it all the time.
Yes, they do, but when was the last time you heard anyone talk about Ren & Stimpy?
[Ordering at a restaurant]
BartI'll have a brain burger with extra pus, please.
Bart!
Eyeball stew.
Homer! We just got here and already I'm mortified beyond belief by your embarrassing behavior.
BartI was just ordering a cheeseburger, Mom. They have violent names for everything here.
[relieved] Oh, I see. [looks at the menu] Alright...hmm... I'll have the baby guts.
Psh. Lady, you disgust me. [walks away]
Mom, that's veal.
Oh...
Bart, we can't let Bob steal the spotlight like this. We're gonna have to sink to the lowest common denominator.
BartI can do that.
[Bart and Lisa have just tricked Sideshow Bob into revealing that he stole the election]
There. Is that what you want, you smarmy little bastards?
BartWe want the truth!
You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. No truth-handler, you! Bah, I deride your truth-handling abilities!
You know, Marge, I've had my share of troubles, but sitting here now with you and the kids in our cozy home in this beautiful free country... It just makes me feel that I'm really a lucky guy.
DAD!!! YOUR HAND IS JAMMED IN THE TOASTER!!!!
[When Homer realizes this everyone screams as Homer attempts to whack the toaster out of his hand]
OH GOD, GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF OF ME!!!
[as the toaster falls off Homer's hand, he gasps for relief and slumps down on the floor]
BartDAD, IT'S IN THERE AGAIN!! [Homer frantically attempts to whack the toaster off him again]
AHHH, NO!!! AHH!!! IT'S STUCK ON MY HAND!!! [screaming incoherently]
[Homer sees his timeline is now in a fancier home.]
D'oh! I mean, hey!
BartGood morning, father dear. Hope you're well.
Are we taking the new Lexus to Aunt Patty and Selma's funeral today?
Hmmm. Fabulous house, well-behaved kids, sisters-in-law dead, luxury sedan? Woohoo! I hit the jackpot! Marge, dear, would you kindly pass me a donut?
Donut? What's a donut?
AAAAAAHHHH!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!
[just as Homer leaves in the time machine, it starts raining donuts outside]
[gasps] It's raining again.
[Lisa trips in the snow while being chased by an axe-wielding Homer, spots a handheld TV]
Dad, look! (holds handheld TV up)
Television! Teacher, mother, [suggestive emphasis] secret lover. Urge to kill... fading... fading... fading... RISING! Fading, fading... gone.
[Family sighs in relief]
Come, family. Sit in the snow with Daddy and let us all bask in television's warm glowing warming glow.
[Time progresses and everyone is encased by ice]
Live, from Broadway, it's the Tony Awards, with your hosts Tyne Daly and Hal Linden!
BartHomer... change channel!
Can't, frozen!
["One" from "A Chorus Line" plays; the Simpsons scream helplessly in the ice]
Urge to kill...rising...
Now, just relax. For once, you didn't do anything wrong. Just explain yourself and everyone will understand.
BartI--
Took the money? Yes, we know.
He confessed!
BartO-kay!
[Bart runs to and jumps out the window]
Stop him! He's headed for the window!
[Bart is having dinner with the Lovejoys]
So Bart, how's school going? Jessica always gets straight A's.
BartWell, in my family grades aren't that important. It's what you learn that counts.
Six times five, what is it?
BartUm, actually numbers don't have much use in my future career-- Olympic Gold Medal Rocket Sled Champ.
Hmm. I didn't know the rocket sled was an Olympic event.
BartWell, no offense, lady, but what you don't know could fill a warehouse.
[The Lovejoys gasp, appalled]
Young man, explain yourself!
BartSorry. I have kind of a short fuse... which some find charming. Speaking of charming, watching Fox last night I heard a rather amusing story-- this character named Martin was feeling rather... randy, and he was heard to remark-
[Scene cuts to Reverend Lovejoy throwing Bart out of the house by the ear]
Don't you ever come near my daughter again! Never have I heard such gratuitous use of the word 'butt'!
Bart[struggling to explain] But-but-but-but-but-but-but-
[in hallway, covering her ears] Make him stop! Make him stop!
[Reverend Lovejoy slams the door]
You're bad, Bart Simpson.
Bart[protesting] No, I'm not, I'm really-
Yes, you are. You're bad, and I like it.
BartI'm bad to the bone, honey.
[The Simpsons approach the church for Sunday service. From inside, a high angelic soprano voice can be heard accompanying the organ. Bart is transfixed]
BartJessica...
Bart, be strong! You don't need that little hellcat!
BartOh Lis, she's already drawing me to her with her beautiful siren song...
[Bart dashes ahead of the family and enters the church only to discover the angelic soprano voice belongs to Ned Flanders, who's singing from a hymnal at the altar]
Bart[shudders] Oooh, that's very disturbing...
Bart[to Jessica]: Jessica, you're really beautiful but you are not very nice.
[scoffs] Duh.
BartI just wanted to let you know that even though this was a difficult experience, I really learned a lot. I'm a little wiser and a little less naive.
Well, I learned that I can make men do whatever I want.
BartWell, don't you see, Jessica, then you really haven't learned-
Would you finish scrubbing these steps for me?
BartWill I?!
[happily grabs brush and starts scrubbing church steps]
[Bart walks into the kitchen with his baseball glove where Homer is sitting]
BartC'mon dad; lets go throw the ol' baseball.
Sorry Bart, I'm taking Lisa out for a gellati. We'd ask you to come but...ya know.
