Grimes

[sees the name of the pencil who has been chipped in] Mr. Simpson, do you know who chewed my...

Grimes

[throws the acid beaker at the wall which makes a hole] You idiot! You nearly drank a beaker full of sulfuric acid!

Frank Grimes

Will nobody stop these people? [clips from all previous episodes appear and a counter goes from 1 to 600] Oh, hi. How do you do, Children? I'm Frank Grimes. In Hell, they make you watch them all in a row. Welcome to our 600th Episode. Treehouse of Horror 27.

Scenes with Frank Grimes 11

Homer, this is your physician, Dr. Julius Hibbert. Can you tell us what it's like in there?

Um, it's like, uh... did anyone see the movie Tron?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Yes. I no. I mean, no. No.

[Frink draws a strange diagram on the wall]

Well, where's my dad?

Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology, n'gee, that Homer Simpson has stumbled into... [lights off] the third di-mension.

[switches the light on] Sorry.

[draws a square on the chalkboard] Here is an ordinary square.

Whoa, whoa! Slow down, egghead.

Frank

But suppose we extend the square beyond the two dimensions of our universe... along the hypothetical "Z" axis there.

EEveryone

[gasps]

This forms a three-dimensional object known as a cube, or a "Frinkahedron," in honor of its discoverer, n-gl'hey, n'hey.

[in echo voice] Help me! Are you helping me? Or are you going on and on?

Oh, right. And, of course, within we find the doomed individual.

Enough of your borax, Poindexter! A man's life is at stake. We need action!

[Wiggum takes out his gun and fires into the wall]

Take that, you lousy dimension!

[Alarms blare and red lights flash at Homer's work station]

Grimes

Simpson, you've got a 5-13.

[Homer glances at his watch]

Grimes

No, a 5-13, in your procedures manual? A 5-13?

[Homer glances at his watch again]

Grimes

[points] Look at your control panel!

Oh, a five thir-teen. I'll handle it.

[He calmly walks into his work station, takes a bucket of water and pours it on his console, shorting it out and silencing the alarms]

That got it.

[Grimes looks on in horror]

Hi, Grimey old buddy!

Grimes

I'm not your buddy, Simpson. I don't like you. In fact, I hate you! Stay the hell away from me, because from now on, we're enemies!

[haltingly] Okay... Do I have to do anything?

Grimes

[is invited to the Simpsons' for dinner] Good heavens, this is a palace! How can-- How in the world can you afford to live in a house like this, Simpson?

[shrugging] I dunno. Don't ask me how the economy works.

Grimes

Yeah, but look at the size of this place! I-I live in a single room above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley!

[clearly not getting it] Wow!

Grimes

[sees pictures on the wall] I'm sorry, isn't that...

Yeah, that's me, all right. And the guy standing next to me is President Gerald Ford... And this is when I was on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins... Oh! And here's a picture of me in outer space!

Grimes

You? Went into outer space?! You?

Sure! You've never been? Would you like to see my Grammy award?

Grimes

[angrily] No! I wouldn't! God, I've had to work hard every day of my life, and what do I have to show for it?! This briefcase, and this haircut! And what do you have to show for your lifetime of sloth and ignorance?!

... What?

Grimes

Everything! A dream house, two cars, a beautiful wife, a son who owns a factory, fancy clothes and [sniffs air] lobsters for dinner! And do you deserve any of it? No!

[gasps] What are you saying?

Grimes

I'm saying you're what's wrong with America, Simpson. You coast through life, you do as little as possible, and you leech off of decent, hardworking people like me. Heh, if you lived in any other country in the world, you'd have starved to death long ago.

He's got you there, Dad.

Grimes

You're a fraud. A total fraud. [he starts to leave; to Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie] It was nice meeting you. [he slams the door]

[Homer walks onstage with his power plant model]

Grimes

Look, everybody! Simpson's in a contest with children!

Hey, shush!

You're making us miss the contest.

[Homer sets his model down. Mr. Burns looks at it]

Could you explain your model, young man?

Grimes

What's to explain? He's an idiot!

Pipe down!

Well, basically I just copied the plant we have now.

Hmm.

Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance and this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.

Agreed. First prize! [Mr. Burns gives Homer a ribbon and some cash]

Grimes

WHAT?!

Way to go, Homer!

You're number one, Homer!

Grimes

But, but, t-t-this was a contest for children!

Yeah, and Homer beat their brains out!

[Homer wins the children's nuclear power plant model contest, and everyone cheers. For Grimes, this is the last straw...]

Grimes

I can't stand it any longer! This whole plant is insane! Insane, I tell you! [snaps mentally] DAAGH! AAGH! [He runs out into the corridor] I can be lazy too! [yanks off his tie, and moons one of the employees] Look at me! Hi, I'm a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion! [He pulls up his pants and waddles away, cross-eyed, like a penguin. He enters the break room and grabs two donuts from a donut box] Ooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds! [Homer, Smithers and several other employees watch as Grimes scoffs down nearly all the donuts in the box, then runs into the men's bathroom. From the bathroom] I'm peeing on the seat! Give me a raise! [comes out of the bathroom and waves his hands in Homer's face] Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands! But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson! [He runs into Homer's work station and spins around in the chair] I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it for me! [puts his feet up, and smacks himself on the forehead] D'oh, d'oh, d'oh!

[looking worried] Hey, you okay, Grimey?

Grimes

[getting up] I'm better than okay - I'm Homer Simpson!

[chuckles] You wish.

Grimes

[noticing Mr. Burns] Oh, hi, Mr. Burns. I'm the worst worker in the world. Time to go home to my mansion and eat my lobster! [He notices some dangerous-looking wires on the wall] What's this? [reads sign] "Extremely High Voltage". Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simp--

[He grabs the wires and electrocutes himself; everyone winces. Frank Grimes' funeral is underway]

Frank Grimes, or Grimey as he liked to be called, taught us that a man can triumph over adversity. And even though Frank's agonizing struggle through life was tragically cut short...

[drooling and muttering in his sleep] Change the channel, Marge!

[All the mourners and Reverend Lovejoy laugh]

That's our Homer!

[Everyone continues to laugh as Frank's coffin is lowered into the ground]

[William Bonney (Billy the Kid) and his evil gang of undead henchmen have risen from the ground.]

BBilly

Now I'd like you to meet the hole-in-the-ground gang!

TTownspeople

[Gasp]

BBilly

Frank an' Jesse James!

TTownspeople

[Gasp]

BBilly

The Sundance Kid!

TTownspeople

[Gasp]

What happened to Butch Cassidy?

SKThe Sundance Kid

[imitating] What happened to Butch Cassidy? We're not joined at the hip, you know!

BBilly

And the most evil German of all time... Kaiser Wilhelm.

TTownspeople

[Mutterings of "Who?"]

FJFrank James

He ain't no cowboy!

WWilhelm

Sure I am! [stops to think]...uh... yippy wippy, wippy!

Frank

OK, he's in.

BKBilly the Kid

Now let's rob the bank, give the money to the poor, then rob the poor, and shoot the money!

[Sideshow Bob gets out from behind a tree]

SThe Simpsons

Aahh!!! Sideshow Bob! [Kang or Kodos gets out from behind a tree] Aahh!!! One of you guys!

[the ghost of Frank Grimes merges from the ground]

Marge, Bart and Lisa: Frank Grimes?

Who?

Frank Grimes

I'm the guy who hated you. Hated you! Died from my hatred of you!!

[giggles] Good old Grimey.
