Movie For A Rained-Out Ballgame now returns to Dyan Cannon, Troy McClure, and the Muppets in the 1977 film The Muppets Go Medieval.
Oh princess fair, wilst thou grant me thine dainty hoof in marriage?
Oh, Sir Lies-a-lot, I will! [they kiss before Sir Lies-a-lot pulls away to growl seductively]
Unhand thee swine, you swain! Come, Piggy, back to Hamelot!
Not now, frog. Me and Iron Pants are just getting acquainted. [Sir Lies-a-lot draws his sword and starts dueling the knight with very stiff and awkward coreography]
[watching the movie, bored] Dad, what's a Muppet?
Well, it's not quite a mop, and it's not quite a puppet, but man... [starts laughing, then stops] So to answer your question, I don't know.
[in the movie, there is a closeup of Troy McClure's face, and he is extremely wrinkly]
BartWhy'd they make that one Muppet out of leather?
That's not a leather Muppet, that's Troy McClure. Back in the 1970s he was quite the teen heartthrob.
Troy McClure? That guy's a freak!
What are you talking about?
You know, his bizarre personal life. Those weird things they say he does down at the aquarium. Why, I heard--
Oh, Homer, that's just an urban legend. People don't do that kind of thing with fish!
[in awe] What is this place?
BartBranson, Missouri. My dad says it's like Vegas... if it were run by Ned Flanders.
[Nelson smacks Milhouse for fiddling with the car's radio too much]
OW! Bart, Nelson hit me!
BartHe sure did.
BartMr. Burns, can you take me with you? I won't eat much and I don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Oh, you're a good boy, but the child labor people have been watching me like a hawk.
[Grampa makes a dangerous deep water dive to rescue Bart from being drowned by Mr. Burns.]
BartSorry I made you lose the treasure, Grampa.
The treasure's not important, boy; the most important thing is that you're safe. Now, let's go get that treasure!
[Bart is impressed with Grampa's past heroism.]
BartGrampa, do you think I could have been in the Flying Hellfish?
You're a give-'em-hell daredevil with a never-say-die attitude and a fourth-grade education. You could've made sergeant!
I'd hug you, but I know it would just embarrass you.
BartI don't care who knows I love my grandpa.
[They embrace. Suddenly, Baron von Wortzenberger drives up to them]
Hey funboys, get a room!
[Lisa is eating in the kitchen and Marge is in the background. Bart enters]
BartHey Lis. [sits beside her] I guess my little yearbook stunt was pretty rough but it did teach you a lesson. It's important to be yourself. [Marge leaves]
[Grabs Bart by his shirt and whispers to him] I know exactly who I am. I am the sister of a rotten, jealous, mean, little sneak! [grabs a syrup bottle] You cost me my only friends! [holds the bottle on top of Bart's head, threatening him] You've ruined my life! [squeezes the bottle, but Marge re-enters the room. Lisa starts eating again and Bart looks at Lisa scared]
Hey kids! there's a carnival tonight!
[appears from behind a cereal box] Oh boy, a carnival!
[After the family has watched the video on Cyprus Creek]
It does seem nicer than Springfield.
Yeah... did you notice how the people weren't shoving or knocking each other down? I've never been to a place like that before...
[Bart shoves her aside]
BartMe neither.
[Homer storms into the Maison Derriere's main hall to give Belle a piece of his mind]
Hey Bart is my son and I don't want him working [a strip tease show begins in the background] so... late.
Oh I agree, kids need rules and boundaries.
[mesmerized by the show] Yes, everyone loves rules.
It's so hard to be a parent today. Why with all the gangs, and the drugs.
Oh yea drugs, drugs, ya gotta have drugs. [walks in to watch the show]
BartHey, he didn't pay the cover.
Oh Bart, he's your father... We'll comp him tonight and start a tab tomorrow.
The gin in your martini
The clams on your linguine
Yes, we put the (BOING!!) in Springfield
We remember our first visit
The service was exquisite
Why Joseph, I had no idea!
Come on now, you were working here
Without it we'd have had no fun since March of 1961!
BartTo shut it down now would be twisted
We just heard this place existeeeeed!
[Homer is taking a bath until Bart comes in and hits him with a chair]
[screams] Ow! Ow Duh-ow! What the hell is wrong with you?!
BartJeez, sorry. It's a pretty standard stunt, Homer.
[Outside the lighthouse, Homer sees a sign saying that it is operated by Earl. Deciding that Earl is his soulmate, he rushes inside]
Here I come, buddy! No more loneliness for Homer and Earl!
[But when he enters the main room, he discovers that Earl is the "Electronic Automatic Robotic Lighthouse"]
A machine?! Earl's a machine?! [sarcastic] Oh, that's just perfect! Homer's desperate search for a soulmate has yielded a lighthouse-keeping robot. Oh, wow.
[His silhouette is projected by the lighthouse. Bart and Lisa see it as they brush their teeth]
BartHey, look! Is that Dad?
Either that, or Batman's really let himself go...
This Friday, we're going back to the woods and we're going to find that alien!
BartWhat if we don't?
We'll fake it, and sell it to the Fox network.
Bart[chuckles] They'll buy anything.
Now son, they do a lot of quality programming, too.
[After a short pause, they both burst into laughter.]
I kill me!
