There was no burglar. I accidentally burned up the tree. And the presents. I'm really sorry.

Lisa

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]

Lisa

You like musicals, don't you Dad?

No, I don't, I think they're bad

They're fake and phony and totally wrong

Wake 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

Carnies took over our house, you've gotta help us!

Well well, look who it is, Mr. No Bribe. Sure, we'll help you, just sit down and wait for Detective Like I Give A Damn.

Thank you so much.

Lisa

Uh, Dad...

Honey, daddy's waiting for the detective.

We can't just give up on our house. There's got to be a way to get these guys out of there.

I say we set fire to the house, kill them that way.

We don't want to kill them, we just want our home back!

Lisa

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!

I've never heard of these Movementarians. Are they some kind of church?

Who cares what it is? The point is that these are some decent generous people that I can take advantage of.

But what if they try to talk us into something?

Marge, Marge, Marge. Remember when those smooth-talking guys tried to sell me a time-share vacation condo?

You bought four of them! Thank God the check bounced.

So I beat the system.

Lisa

Watch yourself, Dad. You're the highly suggestible type.

Yes, I am the highly suggestible type.

Lisa

It's wonderful to think for ourselves again.

You said it, sister.

TVTV voice-over

You are watching Fox.

HMHomer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa

We are watching Fox.

[Nelson is crushing Wendell's nose with chopsticks.]

Ow, I can't breathe! Please stop him!

SSkinner

I'd like to, but I'm afraid he has diplomatic immunity.

Lisa

Point of order, if we want to learn anything, we must respect--

Point of "odor," Lisa stinks.

[children laugh]

STSherri/Terri

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}

PSPrincipal Skinner

Order, order! Do you kids want to be like the real U.N., or do you just want to squabble and waste time?

This is all Lisa's fault! She had the idea of that stupid UN club!

Lisa

Hey, Martin seconded the motion. It's entirely his fault.

People, people, let's not blame each other. We all know this is Milhouse's fault.

Lisa

All we could find are these oozing berries, and they look pretty poisonous.

I eated the purple berries.

How are they, Ralph? Good?

[collapsing in pain] They taste like burning.

SWSteven Wright

I finally got around to reading the dictionary...turns out the zebra did it.

[The crowd laughs]

I don't get it.

Lisa

Dad, the zebra didn't do it, its just a word at the end of the dictionary.

I still don't get it.

Lisa

It's just a joke.

Oooh! I get it! I get jokes. [Laughs]

Have you noticed how there are two phone books: a white one and a yellow one. What's the deal with that?

Lisa

One's residential, the other is business.

Oh. Well, that makes sense. But what will they think of next? Blue Pages?

We have those. They're government listings.

Lisa

I'm strongly opposed to Proposition umm 3-3-0-5...

TPTV Producer

You're against discount bus fares for war widows?

Lisa

You bet I am!

Lisa

Wow. Dad was a good speller?

Oh, your dad used to be as smart as a monkey, then his mind started gettin' lazy and now he's as dumb as a chimp.

Lisa

Grampa!

Hey, I am too. And your brother's coming along nicely. Look at Bart's homework. Back when he was your age, he was as smart as a chimp. (opens up a box labeled "Bart". On top of a stack of homework is a paper of Bart's from the second grade, with a smiley face and the words "Great Work!" written next to it)

Lisa

This is just two years ago!

That's right. Then the Simpson genes kicked in! (leafs through the paper like an animator's flip book. The smiley faces on the corners gradually turn into frowns and eventually, the skull and crossbones)

Lisa

What a whimsical building. Who says science can't be fun?

Me. I smell a museum.

Yeah, good things don't end with -eum, they end with -mania, or –teria. Will there be beer?
