BartThere was no burglar. I accidentally burned up the tree. And the presents. I'm really sorry.
Why you little-! [Runs over and starts strangling Bart]
Lisa, no! Your hands are too weak! [He strangles Bart]
Singing is the lowest form of communication.
Homer, you sing all the time.
No I don't, I hate to rhyme.
[singing]
You like musicals, don't you Dad?
No, I don't, I think they're bad
They're fake and phony and totally wrong
BartWake up Dad, you're singing a song
I wouldn't, I couldn't, I hate that stuff
Now Homer, listen, I've had enough
In our family videos we have plainly seen
You're a singing, dancing, entertainment machine
BartBut I can't go out dressed like this! What if someone sees me?
You're just going to our backyard, no one will see you.
[off-camera, as Bart opens door] HA-
[pointing towards door after Bart closes it] Mmmm!
[still off-camera] -HA!
Hey, you lost your money fair and square! I didn't scam nobody!
[laughing] Put down your stick. We're here to work.
BartStarting today, we're carnies, just like you.
Well, in that case, let me show you how I scammed you.
[Explaining the ring toss booth] The main thing is to bring in the rubes.
Do whatever it takes. Sweet talk, insults, slang from the '30s that no one uses anymore.
BartLike "rubes"?
Now you're on the trolley.
Word around here is your game is crooked.
And how!
Well, perhaps we can come to an "understanding". [holds out his hand]
I understand.
BartUh, Dad?
Not now, son. Daddy's talking to the policeman.
Let me put it to you this way. I'm looking for my friend, Bill. Have you seen any Bills around here?
No. He's Bart.
Okay, let's try this again and watch as I wink each time. The man I'm really looking for, wink, is Mr Bribe. Wink, wink.
[pause] ...It's a ring toss game.
All right, That's it, I'm shutting this place down.
What ain't that nothing?
Our game, our home... What happened here?
BartCops took it.
...
Why didn't you bribe 'em?
I tried, but the opportunity never came up.
We can't just give up on our house. There's got to be a way to get these guys out of there.
BartI say we set fire to the house, kill them that way.
We don't want to kill them, we just want our home back!
Well... if we did set fire to the house-
No fires!
I've got it!
No fires!
Aw!
There must be a way to outsmart them.
Uh, you can't outsmart carnival folk. They're the cleverest folks in the world. Just look at the way they sucker regular folk with those crooked games- That's it! Fire!
It's wonderful to think for ourselves again.
BartYou said it, sister.
You are watching Fox.
We are watching Fox.
[Nelson is crushing Wendell's nose with chopsticks.]
Ow, I can't breathe! Please stop him!
I'd like to, but I'm afraid he has diplomatic immunity.
Point of order, if we want to learn anything, we must respect--
BartPoint of "odor," Lisa stinks.
[children laugh]
Hey, leave her alone.
You leave her alone.
[children are all shouting at each other]
[singing] O, Canada
{Principal Skinner restores order by banging his shoe on the desk}
Order, order! Do you kids want to be like the real U.N., or do you just want to squabble and waste time?
[The bus is rising with water, Wendell's drowning and Bart looks at his black friend, Lewis.]
Bart[to Lewis] I guess this is the end, Wendell.
[pointing to Wendell, the white kid] He's Wendell, I'm Lewis.
BartWell, whatever. Just tell Wendell I said, "Bye."
[taking an orange out of the cooler) Hey Simpson, race ya!
Bart[taking an apple out] First one to the front of the bus gets Martin's lunch money.
What?
[The two put their fruits on the floor of the bus, beginning to roll to the front]
BartGo apple!
Go orange!
[Ralph puts a banana on the floor]
Go banana!
All we could find are these oozing berries, and they look pretty poisonous.
I eated the purple berries.
BartHow are they, Ralph? Good?
[collapsing in pain] They taste like burning.
Uh-huh. Charity, eh? What's my cut? Nothing? I make more than that takin' a schvitz. Hey-hey, happy birthday. Now get 'em outta here.
He seems reluctant.
BartTell him it will count towards his community service.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. All right, I'll do it. [groans] Boy, swipe one pair of Haggar slacks and you're payin' for it the rest of your life.
Heh heh heh, from now on, I'm gonna be just like Krusty and tell it like it is. Marge, you're getting a little fat around the old thighs!
BartDad!
You too, Bart!
Oh, knock it off, Homer; you're the fattest one in the car!
[shocked] You didn't have to tell it like it is, Marge.
Oh, look! This is the perfect chance to get you kids some nice church shoes!
[Bart and Lisa sigh]
BartWhat do we need church shoes for, Jesus wore sandals.
Well, maybe if he had better arch support they wouldn't have caught him.
