[pushing a turtle with a broom] Shoo! Shoo now!
[camera pans to a line of McDonell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs]
Just pick them up!
MargeEh... They feel weird.
MargeEh, what's the penalty for... driving a tractor drunk through a... renaissance fair?
Can't help you! I might be having a stroke! I have to consult a competent medical professional! [types on a medicine website "Have I had a stroke?"] Hmm... Got that, got that... m-Hmm... Who doesn't have that? [groans] Is anyone here to get an ambulance license?
That'll be mine!
Here you go! [gives him a license]
I lied! [runs away]
Now, put your good clothes on.
MargeI'm already in a dress and pearls, and I'm 8 years old.
Marge, do you know how it feels when you have a man to provide you everything you need?
MargeI have thought a lot about that, and I have to say... no.
[Marge and Bart are trying to talk with Lisa via Skype]
MargeAre you sure you set it up right?
Yes!
MargeThen why aren't we skyping?
I don't know, maybe Lisa's drugged-out.
MargeMy daughter is not drugged-out!
Maybe she's just sleeping late after partying at discoteques.
MargeHow do you know about all-night discoteques?
We have Disco Stu in this town, Mom. He's a resource. Use him!! [Skype tone plays]
[Homer and Marge are sad, eating pizza after taking Bart to the asylum. Lisa enters the kitchen]
Mom! Dad! I've discovered the most amazing thing, I can't wait... hum... Where's Bart?
MargeHe's safe.
And more importantly: We're safe.
Marge[sobs] I miss him so much! [combs Santa's Little Helper's fur like Bart's hair]
Hmm... Can I call him?
You can call his guard, Tico. He picks up sometimes.
I see... Okay... I'll do that. [leaves]
MargeHomie, where did we go wrong?
I don't know, sweetie. I don't know. We did everything we could for him during the commercials.
NOOOO!! No, no, no, nooooo!!!
What happened? Did jazz die?
[enters Homer and Marge's bedroom] Look at me!! [the camera turns around, revealing her face with acne]
MargeAcne!? But she's only eight!
[worried] Somehow I'm becoming the Squeaky-Voiced Teen! [with a squeaky voice] Do you want fries with that? [back to her normal voice] What am I saying!?
I, too, was visited by the Ghost of Puberty Present. I've got a starter 'stache! Next, I'm a loser, then I'm a creep, then I'm a perv! I've got to buy a van.
[cries] This isn't fair, I'm not ready for my awkward years. This is my happy childhood, for crying out loud!!
MargeOh, Apu, it's good to see you doing so well. I know you can't turn your head, but you've got a great view. Oh! Are you okay?
Marge, he's got nine lives.
I am a Hindu, sir, not a cat. I have infinite lives during some of which I may be a cat. In those I do have nine.
MargeOh, this tile is lose! I'll have to call a handy man.
Eh... Why did you say it like that, with the pause between the words? Are you saying I'm not handy?!
MargeThat's how you say it. Handy man.
It's handyman!
MargeThat's what I said! handy [pause] man.
[angrily] Marjorie, there is the profession: handyman, and there are men who are handy! Which are you saying I'm not? Tell me...
MargeA handy [pause] man. [Homer exclaims angrily]
Face it, Homeboy, you ain't handy! Unless we need a big fat paperweight.
I'll paperweight you!! [sits on Bart]
MargeHomie, sweetie, replacing a tile is something you really need a professional for.
I know how to replace a tile! All guys do! We talk about it all the time. Grout?
MargeThere's no stopping what I've started here. Here's your tile! [puts the tile on Homer's plate] Have fun! Handy [pause] man! [leaves]
Wow, an indoor water park! Hopefully, this will put the final nail in the coffin of lakes and rivers.
MargeWell, as a mother, I...
We all know you're a mother.
MargeAs a mother, I like that wherever I look, I can see a lifeguard.
Mom, I've been working on a new solo jazz piece.
Marge[groans] Can I hear it? [Lisa starts playing her jazz solo]
Oh, I'd love to stay and listen, but I'm late for work! [leaves and comes back with Snowball V] Here's another super-fan to hear you lay down your licks! [leaves, comes back, puts glasses and a beret on Snowball V and leaves again]
[To Maggie who had her hair cut like Bart's] Why you little!
Dad, no! You're gonna strangle a baby!
[gasps] Oh my God. That would've been horrible! [to Bart] Why you little! [strangles him] Turning a sweet little baby into a you! [sits beside him] Bart, you're a great kid, but if I had another one like you, I'd hang myself from a highway overpass! Please, give your sister the precious gift of not being you.
Okay Dad. Mags, it was fun while it lasted. [puts her hair back to normal]
Huh? Ha! I didn't know it was that easy. [makes Bart's hair look like Maggie's]
Stop that! [makes his hair like Sideshow Bob's]
Aah! Sideshow Bob!
MargeHomer, you have to do more!
Ook?!
MargeI'm getting tired of your "Ooks". I can't do this alone. Where's your chore list?
Oh, I'm taking care of that! It's laminated. And to make sure I do it... [shows Marge a doodle of her on the back of the chore list] Hmm?
[Marge groans]
Well, if it isn't my favorite gal in my favorite room!
MargeI'm glad you had a good day.
You don't sound glad.
MargeI'm not glad.
But you said you were glad!
MargeYou need to read between the lines.
Why? There's just white space there.
Marge[crying] I'm sorry, Homie. Your life is full of fun surprises. My life sucks!
[sobs and grabs a box of tissues]
[thinking] Uh-oh. Tissues. [Marge lays down on the bed] W... would it help if I rubbed your back? Huh? Eh? Uh...
MargeYour hands smell like steering wheel.
MargeDo you want to practice your speech on me?
[chuckles] No need, honey! Same speech I give every year. The opening joke about Lenny's grandma always kills.
MargeYou can't joke about her. They just put her on life support.
What?! No! She's the linchpin!
MargeIt's okay, it's okay. Everyone is terrified of public speaking. But just in case, I'll defrost a failure ham.
You don't have faith in me! I have savers! If I get heckled, I'll say, "Get a half-life!".
[Marge stares at him]
MargeI'm sure that'll be funny to them.
MargeOoh. Throwing away your "No Girls" sign? Is it time for you to have "the talk" with your dad? Because he's gonna have to read a few things first.
No! I'm tearing it down. Ralph has a cool treehouse, and mine sucks.
MargeWell, Bart, your father built it, and he did the very best he could.
[a flashback shows Homer building the treehouse on a sapling]
I did my job. Now it's your turn, tree! Get growing!
