[Homer and Bart are up in the attic looking for Homer's exercise equipment. Bart comes across a stack of old paintings of Ringo Starr]

Hey, who's the mop-top with the big schnoz?

Don't you know anything, boy? That's Ringo Starr. [Notices Marge's signature in the bottom corner] Hey. Your mother must have painted this. I guess she thought he was kind of cute. [Flipping through the stack of paintings including one of Ringo without a shirt and another of Marge and Ringo getting married] What?? Hey! What the--? MARGE!

Now Homer, don't be jealous. I was a schoolgirl, The Beatles were very popular and I had a crush on them.

[Muttering to himself] A likely story..

[Marge accidentally walks in on Mr. Burns naked in the bathroom]

Oh my!

[grabbing a towel from Smithers] If you'll excuse me, I'm changing for a board meeting.

[closes the door] I'm so sorry Mr. Burns.

Hey mom, did he have those hideous spots all over his body?

[Burns pokes his head through the door]

I heard that! [closes the door]

Uh oh!

Would you be more comfortable if I left too, sir?

Of course not Smithers, you're...you're like a doctor.

[offscreen] SMITHERS! I WANT MY TEA!

[to Smithers] Doesn't it bother you that he orders you around like that?

[chuckles] Actually, I value every second we're together. From the moment I squeeze his orange juice in the morning, till I tuck him in at night. He's not just my boss, he's my best friend too.

[Burns enters; Smithers gives him the tea]

BBurns

[sipping] Bah! Too hot! [throws it on Smithers]

Right, sir. It's...scalding me as we speak.

[Somewhere in Liverpool]

RSRingo Starr

Dear Sally, in response to your letter of December the 12th, 1966, me favorite color is blue, and me real first name is Richard. Thanks for the snapshot, you're a real cute bird. Love, Ringo. P.S. Forgive the lateness of my reply.

WWeatherby

Mr. Starr, tea and crumpets.

RRingo

Just set it over there.

WWeatherby

Sir, if you'll forgive an old Brit his impertinence, your devotion to your fans is nothing short of remarkable.

RRingo

Well, Weatherby, they took the time to write me, and I don't care if it takes me another 20 years. I'm going to answer every one of them. [picks up a large envelope] Hello, what's this? From Springfield, U.S.A. [sees painting of him] Gear!

RRingo

[voiceover via letter] Dear Marge, thanks for the fab painting of yours truly. I hung it on me wall. [sic] You're quite an artist. In answer to your question, yes we do have hamburgers in England, but we call French Fries "chips". Love, Ringo. P.S. Forgive the lateness of my reply.
