[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]

And 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!

[sees the writing on the school wall about him saying he's a wiener, but in an incorrect sentence] Whoever did this is in very deep trouble.

And a sloppy speller, too. The preferred spelling of "wiener" is W-I-E-N-E-R. Although, "I-E" is an acceptable ethnic variant.

Good point. Boys, let's see your hands. [checks Lewis's hands] Mm-hmm. [checks Milhouse's hands] Good. [checks Richard's hands] Clean. [goes to Bart] Simpson?

[Bart shows Skinner his red painted hands]

You might say you caught him red-handed.

Simpson, you and I are going to have a little talk.

Same time, same place?

Yes. In my office after school.

MLMilhouse, Lewis, and Richard

Ooh!

[Bart gulps]

[singing] Toreador, oh, don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor. That's what it's for.

[Bart and Homer laughing]

Bart, stop fooling around. Homer, stop encouraging him.

Don't stifle the boy, Marge. We're supposed to encourage him.

Shush!

Who's the lard butt?

He's the bullfighter.

No way a bull's gonna miss a target that big, man.

[Lisa, Bart, and their father laughing]

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]

What's going on out there?

I think Bart's stupid again, Mom.

Oh, 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]
