[a thought bubble opens on Ned with his jeans split up, next shows Ned crying over a closed Leftorium, next shows the grave] Uh...too far.
“When Flanders Failed” · Season 3
In this episode: Homer Simpson (3), Bart Simpson (1), Marge Simpson (1), Lisa Simpson (1), Ned Flanders (1)
So, Bart. What did you learn in karate school today?
Yeah, come on, boy, this better be worth my ten bucks.
Uh... I learned the Touch of Death.
Ooh, the Touch of Death.
Permit me to demonstrate. Lisa, shut your eyes. Soon you will be at peace.
Hey, quit it, Bart. Quit it. Hey. Quit it! Quit it! Quit it! Mom!!
Bart, don't use the Touch of Death on your sister.
[Homer visits the Flanders to return a BBQ grill only to find them living out of their station wagon after the Leftorium goes out of business and his properties are seized]
Homer, I'm ruined. For me? Oh, thank you.
I know.
You know, in times like these, I used to turn to the Bible for solace, but even the Good Book can't help me now.
Why not?
I sold it to you for seven cents!
Oh.
[gets choked up] You know, ever since that barbecue, nothing had gone right. It's like there's been a... a curse on me. [and stops] Homer, Can you tell me? Tell me! What?!
[cries and tries to wipe tears with Flanders' own personal NF face towel] It's all my fault!
Wait. Is that my own personal NF face towel?
Yes, it is.
No, you tried to warn me against engaging in risky ventures! I should have known better than to gamble my family's future on some pig in a poke! I didn't listen. Homer, you are a true friend! [he and Homer embrace]
No, I was a swine. [Maude, Rod and Todd and Marge embrace as well]
[lets go of embrace] Listen, Flanders.
What?
Do you still have that store?
For two more days, then it becomes Libertarian Party headquarters. I hope they have better luck than I did.
Flanders, you open that store tomorrow.
[despondent] Homer, there's no point -
I SAID DO IT!!
