Sideshow BobHello, Bart.
AAAHH!! Sideshow Bob!
Sideshow BobOh, come now, we have been through so much together. Just call me Bob.
AAAHH!! Bob!
[Sideshow Bob placed a Homer dummy on the motor laundry line and turns it on, making it a decoy.]
Sideshow BobThe trap is set. The killer will think this dummy is you out for an evening stroll. Now we lie and wait like hungry Cassius for noble Caesar.
You're so smart. [to Bart] Shock him.
[At night, Homer and Bart celebrate their victory at the capture of the perpetrator at Bart's room]
Dad, I'm really glad you're still alive.
Yeah, it's every parent's dream to outlive their children. Goodnight, son. [he closes the door, unaware that Bob is hiding on the other side of the door]
Sideshow Bob[jumps down] Hello, Bart. [Bart screams, but Bob quickly covers the boy's mouth with duct tape. He tries reaching for the shock remote, only to find that it is missing.] Looking for this? [He shows Bart the remote he had stolen before tossing it out the window and taking the knife out of his pocket.] Now I'm going to take some advice that was given to me by Lenny, and kill you without doing. [He raises the knife to strike, but looks at Bart's pleading eyes before stopping.] One thrust, and the deed is done. [He raises the knife again, but pauses again at the look of the boy's pleading face before lowering the knife again.] I... I can't do it.
[muffled] Huh? Why not?
Sideshow BobWell, I guess I've—dear God—grown accustomed to your face! [starts singing "The Very Reason That I Live"]
I've... grown accustomed to his face,
And dreams of gouging out his eyes.
I've grown accustomed to my hate,
My plans to lacerate,
To disembowel,
To hear him howl.
[As he sings, Bart tries getting out of bed through the covers, but Bob grabs him and pins him to the wall atop the bedstand with the knife by his nightgown.]
The very reason that I live
Is plotting how to watch him die.
[bangs on the wall from the other room] Bart! Turn down that original cast recording and go to sleep! [The banging loosens the knife from the wall, and Bart falls down to the floor and tries escaping while sneaking behind Bob.]
Sideshow Bob[continues] I know this chubby scalliwag
Has made my life a living hell.
[He grabs one of Bart's legs as he sings and dangles the boy upside-down while pulling him close to his face.]
Surely, if I drank his blood,
I'd be at peace... but, well...
[removes the tape from his mouth and sings] You've grown accustomed to my face?
Sideshow BobThis isn't a duet.
Sorry. [puts the tape back on his mouth]
Sideshow BobI've grown accustomed to your fear,
Accustomed to revenge,
Accustomed to... your face.
[As he finishes, he carries Bart and sets him back to his bed, then leaps up at the edge of the bed before finishing and jumping out the window, landing on the ground as Bart quickly shuts the window.] We shall meet again, old friend. But now, I must steal away into the night. [gets shocked by the remote's button that is repeatedly pressed by the birds on its nest, showrunner credits appears. Starting the credits. After the credits, Gracie Films logo appears and 20th Century Fox Television appears at the end of the episode]
[Upon hearing that Sideshow Bob has a wife and son] Holy moly! I always thought you were, you know, out loud and proud.
Sideshow BobWell, I experimented in college, as one does.
Yeah, I never went to college.
Sideshow Bob[sarcastic] Stop the presses.
[The Simpsons are tied up. A laptop with a low battery is sitting atop boxes of TNT.]
Sideshow BobLet's not tarry. As Shakespeare said, "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere best it were done quickly." Power on! [He turns on the laptop and laughs maniacally.] This time, I've made no mistakes. [leaves]
Actually, you made one. What Shakespeare really said was, "'Twere well it were done quickly."
Sideshow BobYes, I'm sure you've studied the Immortal Bard extensively under your "Miss Hoover". [Leaves and shuts the door.]
Macbeth, act one, scene seven. Look it up.
Sideshow Bob[re-entering] I shall! [He takes the laptop.] Come on, Wikipedia, load, you unwieldy behemoth! [The laptop explodes.] Oh, dear, Sideshow Bob, "Hoist on his own petard".
It's "hoist with his own petard".
Sideshow BobOh, get a life.
Yet another new restaurant fails.
Bob's playing you all like saps! This man's a killer!
Sideshow BobOh, how he accuses me, at my very own trial! I can take no more! I...I...I didn't want to use this, but you've left me no choice! [take out Nitroglycerin]
Nitroglycerin?! Everybody panic! [people in the courtroom scream and scurry in terror]
Yoink! [he snatches the nitroglycerin out of Bob's hands] Foiled again, freak! [then he tosses it out the window]
Sideshow BobYou don't understand! I...I...[groans as he begins to collapse onto the courtroom floor].
Sideshow BobBefore you die, perhaps you'd like to know how I engineered my ultimate revenge.
I'd like to know if Wes Doobner is aware of what you're doing in his restaurant!
Sideshow BobI'm Wes Doobner!
Mr. Doobner, I have a complaint: I work hard and when I go out with my family, I expect a certain level of basic--
Sideshow BobShut up!
[At Sideshow Bob's trial.]
Sideshow BobYour Honor, I choose to represent myself. And let me say... I did try to kill the Simpsons. I truly did.
[The entire courtroom gasps in shock.]
[to Homer and Marge] Okay, if he doesn't say "but" right now, we are home free.
Sideshow BobBut--
Damn!
Sideshow BobWhen they find your ashes, they'll think it's me. And I'll be far away with my loving family. It's the perfect crime.
And it was my portrayal as the grieving brother that sealed the deal!
Sideshow Bob[coldly] Yes, and Hamlet is all about Laertes!
[annoyed] Will you please stop comparing me to Laertes!?
Sideshow BobIf the doublet fits...
You missed the turn-off, Mr. Warren.
Sideshow Bob[in his Walt Warren disguise] You don't have to call me Mr. Warren anymore. You see, Bart, you were right all along. [He takes off Walt's shoes, revealing his huge ugly feet] I am Sideshow Bob.
[Bart screams in horror then Sideshow Bob cackles maniacally]
Y'know, the great ones can kill without explaining.
Sideshow BobI can stand in one state, fire a gun in the second state, the bullet will travel through the third, hitting you in the fourth, so you'll fall down dead in the fifth! No single act is against any law, but their sum total is the greatest murder since Snape killed Dumbledore!
Oh, I haven't gotten to that part yet!
Sideshow BobIt's a four-year-old book.
I'm a slow reader.
Sideshow BobA fitting epitaph [pause] It means last words!
Are you here to teach me, or kill me?
Sideshow BobBart, And don't you think the parts that aren't evil, are a little...pretentious.
Absolutely...we're talking about Lisa, right?
We should team up, I can get you out of here.
Sideshow BobA partner, intriguing, who gets to gut him like a little pot-bellied salmon?
I assumed we'd take turns.
Sideshow BobNo deal.
[Bart enters the music room looking for Mr. Largo. A classic violin music plays on the background]
Mr. Largo? Hmm, something's wrong. That music is in tune...
Sideshow BobHello, Bart!
Aah! Sideshow Bob!!
Sideshow Bob'Twas I who texted you... using Milhouse's phone! Did you know his wallpaper is American Girl Doll? Now let me put this in terms that a young boy would understand: [he opens a violin case and takes out a harpoon gun, then aims it at Bart while he speaks] you and I have danced a grand pas de deux worthy of Nijinsky, but this... is... the final... plié!
[unamused] Yawn. You couldn't kill me with that thing if I drew an "X" on my forehead. [he does so with blue chalk, then makes a taunting dance] Bob and a spear gun, sitting in a tree, S-U-C-K-I-N- [Bob shoots him with the gun, impaling him in the chest; he doesn't seem fazed, at first] Ha! Nice try, Bob, but I'm sure you made some... [he starts to falter] stupid... mistake...
Sideshow BobNot this time. [yanks the spear projectile from Bart's chest, pulling out his heart]
[in a weaker voice] Tell my father... he's... fat... [dies]
Sideshow Bob[smiles in triumph] The deed is done. 24 years of trying to kill a ten-year-old child have finally paid off.
[Sideshow Bob has invented a Reanimator machine in the basement that can resurrect Bart]
Sideshow BobAnd now, Bart, let's bring the old "spark" back to our special relationship! [He pulls the lever and activates the machine; in a second, Bart is born anew with no ill effects]
[gets sassy] You couldn't kill me if I came in with pneumonia and a knife in my back. [Bob pulls out a sledgehammer and kills him again with one whack on the head]
Sideshow BobI didn't care for the "thwock" the sledgehammer made. [tosses the hammer and returns to the Reanimator] No worries, I'll just kill him again. [activates the Reanimator again and revives Bart]
[with a confident smile] That's why I'm the Unkillable Kid. [Bob arrives and hits him with the sledgehammer again, this time in the stomach, but nothing happens] Still not dead. [Bob gets annoyed and whacks him on the head again] Psych! [Bob then gets infuriated and whacks him in a frenzy] Ay carumba! [the whacking continues until his guts spill out and he finally succumbs to his wounds]
Sideshow BobWe're both going to be sore tomorrow! [cackles in glee and revives Bart again, starting a death montage]
