[Homer is telling Lisa a bedtime story]
...and then the handsome prince realized he had to go to the bathroom really bad, but the evil ogre, Barney, had left the men's room in the most wicked condition! So the prince went out back to the enchanted alley--
Lisa
That's not a fairy tale; it's something that happened to you at Moe's!
Sssh. Anyway, the prince passed out for a hundred years, until he was awakened by the kiss of a noble raccoon.
Boy, that Stone Phillips sounds like quite a bloke. What television network is he on?
Lisa
NBC has lots of great shows, and their news and sports coverage can't be beat.
Do you think there's anything great on NBC right now?
But there's only one way to find out...
[cut to the closing credits]
[voice-over] I'd like to read the following statement, but I do so under ... [sound of gun cocking]... my own free will. It has come to my attention that NBC sucks. I apologize for misleading you and urge you to watch as many Fox shows as possible. So in summary, NBC - bad. Fox - good. [very softly] CBS great.
[sound of gunshot, followed by a thud. The Gracie Films logo appears, accompanied by three more gunshots]
[wearing chicken over his underpants] Look at me, Lise, I'm Baron Von Chicken Pants! [clucks like a chicken]
Lisa
Bart, that's tomorrow night's dinner.
You're tomorrow night's dinner.
Lisa
Mom! Bart took what I said and turned it into an insult!
[polishing the car] That's nice, dear!
[The Simpsons watch as their neighborhood is engulfed by The Apocalypse]
Oh, no, it's the Apocalypse! Bart, are you wearing clean underwear?
Lisa Simpson
It's Rapture, and I never knew true love.
I never used those pizza coupons.
Why don't people like my art anymore?
Homer, I know you worked hard, but all of your ... things were kind of the same.
Hey, Ray Jay Johnson never changed his act, and he's more popular now than he's ever been.
Lisa
Who?
"You can call him Ray, or you can call him Jay, or you can call him Ray Jay, but you doesn't have to call him..."
Lisa
I'm sick of him already.
Let's see what's been captured in the Up-Kilt camera. Ugh, this lass needs a bit of groundskeepin'. Agh, that's Willie!
My name is Mary. I'm 45, heavy, and willing to settle for less.
Wow. This Mary's got the whole package.
Lisa
Wow, Dad, You're surfin' like a pro.
Oh, yeah, I'm betting on jai alai in the Cayman Islands. I invested in something called News Corp--
Lisa
Dad! That's Fox!
Lisa
Dad, do we have any money left?
Well, let's check the old bank account. See? Even after my cyber squandering, we've still got $1,200.
All right, dorks, this is a holdup. Oh, yes! Download to papa. Yoink dot adiós, back-slash losers.
Lisa No, no. We're going to Paris I can feel it.
Homer [Jamaican accent] No mon, let's go home to Jamaica. I and I been in Babylon too long!
WOWoman on PA
Attention. Flight 605 to Tokyo is ready for departure and has 4 available mega-saver seats.
No, not Japan, Jamaica. I want to pass the dutchie on the left-hand side.
Lisa
Never mind. Looks like the Flanders are gonna get those seats anyway.
Oh, so Flanders he can steal our vacation, huh? Come on! Sayonara, suckers.
Lisa
Yay! The Simpsons are going to Japan. [a gong sounds. Zoom out to reveal that the Simpsons' airport cart crashed into a gong]
DMDelivery Man
Hey, watch the gong, jerk.
Lisa
Look, Mom, the safety instructions are written in haiku. "Fasten seat belts tight. Your seat cushions float gently. Headsets, five dollars."
JTJapanese Tour Guide Woman
Sir, it is not safe to use electronic devices yet.
You're the waitress. [turns it off. Cut to outside shot of the plane as it nosedives]
JTJapanese Tour Guide Woman
Turn it back on! Turn it back on!
Lisa
Now can we do something Japanese?
Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff. In jail, we had to be in this dumb Kabuki play about the 47 Ronin and I wanted to be Yoshi, but they made me Ori.
Then we had to do two hours of origami followed by flower arranging and meditation.
[Japanese version of Should we tell them the secret of inner peace? in English subtitles]
[Japanese version of No, they are foreign devils. in English subtitles]
Honey, I know you want to see Japan, bet we're down to our last million yen.
Don't worry, ichiban. I'll show you something Japanese.
Lisa
Oh, it's beautiful, Dad.
It's a crane. The Japanese believe they bring good luck.
Oh, be careful. We need that money to get home. [gasps] No!
[Japanese version of D'oh! in English subtitles]
AMr. Ambassador
Now, Mr. Simpson, I know you lost all your money, but don't worry. The United States will not stand idly by while one of its citizens is stuck here like this.
But, Mr. Ambassador, how are we going to get home?
AMr. Ambassador
Beats me. Try getting a job and earning some money. That's what I did. By the way, "ambassador" is taken.
[After losing their money, the Simpsons work in a fish-processing plant to try to earn their fare home]
[cheerfully] Every truckload of fish we gut brings us thirty-one cents closer to those tickets home.
And I think I've finally found what I was put on this earth to do. [starts gutting fish] Knife goes in, guts come out. Knife goes in, guts come out.
[Bart pulls a talking fish out of the pile]
FFish
Spare my life and I'll give you three wish ... [gets gutted] ...gaah!
Knife goes in, guts come out.
Lisa
Yippee! Time for the company loyalty song!
[Osaka Seafood Concern Squid appears on TV singing]
OSOsaka Seafood Concern Squid
[singing] Knife-a goes in, a-guts come out [stabs itself] that's what Osaka Seafood Concern is all about. [collapses]
Well, this sucks; what else is on? [uses eel to change the channel]
JFJapanese father
Thank you. You have fulfilled our dreams and dreams of our ancestors.
MAMale Announcer
Tune in tomorrow, when another lucky family tries to win their dreams on Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show.
Family Wish Show. Hmm. That gives me an idea.
Lisa
I think we all had that idea.
I didn't. What is it? Lunch?
NENewspaper editor
...And to protect Mother Earth, each copy contains a certain percentage of recycled paper.
Lisa
And what percent is that?
[Lisa frowns]
NENewspaper editor
Zero’s a percent.
I smell cake! Cake that says [sniff sniff] "Farewell" and [sniff sniff] "Best Wishes"!
Your old man has an awesome nose.
Oh, that's nothing. He can hear pudding.
[Homer and Lisa are dining at a rotating restaurant]
Lisa
The food is exquisite.
And the view is... [the restaurant rotates to show a water fountain] beautiful... [the restaurant rotates to show a church] inspirational....[the restaurant rotates to Patty and Selma's apartment, where the two are in sports bras and sweatpants, exercising in front of the TV] nauseating...[groans and passes out]
Lisa
So you were going to kill us!
[Everyone enjoys a hearty laugh. The clouds part, to reveal the moon. Flanders immediately transforms into were-Flanders and growls at Homer]
I want the news, not the weather.
[He turns to Marge to brag about his zing. She isn't there. Marge and the kids are running away, several hundred yards down the road]
WFWerewolf Flanders
Diddily!
[At camera focuses on the moon, Flanders chased Homer, Flanders attacks Homer. There's a pause in the carnage]
Eyes bigger than your stomach, eh, Wolfie?
[He speaks too soon, as Flanders resumes eating Homer, screaming, at the end of the first segment]
