MargeThese reality shows really leave you no privacy.
MargeIt all began six years ago. Back then, Clevelanders had nothing bad to say about LeBron and they needed cash when they took the turnpike to Toledo.
Marge[to Bart and Lisa] Geez, kids. I guess you've had your last birthday. You're going to stay your current ages for the rest of your lives.
MargeSweetie, What happened.
Marge[thinking] Oh, my God, I'm popular! Hope this doesn't go to my head. It went right to my head!! Aaaah!!
MargeI had a nightmare where that happened to Bart, but I never told you about it.
MargeWith all these commercials, I'm afraid your father's going to need bigger pants. Alexa, do you have any X-X-X-X- X-X-X-XL in stock?
Marge[carrying Maggie to her room] Ah, what a long day. What should we read tonight? "Good Night Escaped Gorilla," "The Pookadook," "What Do You People Do All Day?," "The Pookadook," "S'up, Moon?," "The Pookadook?" Wait, how many Pookadooks do we have? Oh, I guess just one.
Marge[singing] I'm getting the mail, hallelujah, I'm getting the mail. It's something to do. [stops singing] Hmm. What the Helen Mirren?
[The family is playing Scrabble]
My turn. Kwyjibo. K-W-Y-J-I-B-O, 22 points, plus triple word score, plus 50 points for using all my letters. Game's over, I'm outta here. [about to leave]
[grabs Bart's arm] Wait a minute, you little cheater! You're not going anywhere until you tell me what a kwyjibo is.
Kwyjibo. Uh... [looks at Homer, who lets go of his arm] a big, dumb, balding North American ape. With no chin.
[Homer is offended and angrily looks down at Bart more]
MargeAnd a short temper.
[turns red in anger] I'll show you a big, dumb, balding ape! [angrily chases Bart]
Uh-oh! Kwyjibo on the loose!
[singing] Toreador, oh, don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor. That's what it's for.
[Bart and Homer laughing]
MargeBart, stop fooling around. Homer, stop encouraging him.
Don't stifle the boy, Marge. We're supposed to encourage him.
MargeShush!
Dad, I got to tell you something, hope you won't be too mad.
What is it, son?
I'm not a genius, dad.
What?
I cheated on the intelligent test. I'm sorry. But I just wanna say that the past few weeks have been great! Me and you've done stuff together, you've helped me out with things, we're closer than we've ever been. I love you, dad, and I think if something can bring us that close, it can't possibly be bad.
[pauses; turns red in anger] Why you little...! [chases his son angrily]
Uh-oh! [runs screaming]
MargeWhat's going on out there?
I think Bart's stupid again, Mom.
MargeOh, well.
[Bart runs into his room and closes the door]
[pounding on the door] You can't stay in there forever!
[locks the door] I can try!
[pounding] March your butt right out here! Now!
[hops on his bed] No way, man!
[continues pounding] Bart! I-! [stops himself with a crafty smile] Son, if you don't come out, I can't hug you and kiss you and make you feel all better.
[sits on his bed, reading comic books and drinking soda] You think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?! I'm insulted!
[Homer turns red, howls in rage and continues pounding at the door]
[Dr. Monroe diagnoses the Simpsons' problem when he sees the rest of the family drawing Homer as they see him. Not paying attention to their disgust, he gets lost and draws an airplane with bombs on them]
[to Homer] Well, if you had been paying attention, perhaps you would have noticed that your family sees you as a rather stern authority figure, an ogre, if you will.
MargeNow, Doctor, that's not true.
Ogre is such a strong word.
Right on, Doc! Another successful diagnosis.
That does it!
[Homer grabs a lamp and tries to hit Bart with it]
Whoa! [takes the lamp from Homer with a chuckle] Okay, you want to kill each other. That's good. That's healthy.
Do I smell cupcakes? [opens the oven] Ooh, do I ever!
MargeUh-uh, Homer. Lisa's making these for her teacher.
Ah. Say no more. [closes it and seconds later Bart opens it]
Yum! Don't mind if I do!
MargeBart! [drags him back into the kitchen]
Oh, man!
MargeWell, Bart, I hope you're going straight to the principal about this!
I guess I should do that.
What?! And violate the code of the schoolyard?! I'd rather Bart die!
MargeWhat on Earth are you talking about, Homer?!
The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy how to be a man! Let's see: Don't tattle, always make fun of those different from you, never say anything unless you're sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do, and what else...?
