[A sip is all that's needed to boost his batteries.]

We need some excitement around here!

Chinese checkers or domestic, sir?

No, no. Something fun. Something the men will enjoy... like a safety drill! But what kind? Meltdown alert? Mad dog drill? Blimp attack? Ah... I think a good old-fashioned fire drill today. [presses the "Fire Drill" button as the alarm goes off, most people just stare, intrigued]

All right, popcorn's ready! [takes the bag out of the microwave and pours kernels in a bowl]

Hey! That's the fire alarm!

We gotta get out of here!

[They run out of the cafeteria]

Wait for me! [filling a cup at the cocoa machine] Come on, come on, come on!

[All around the plant, it's panic and havoc. One man grabs an extinguisher, and proceeds to hit anyone nearing him.]

MMan

Get out of my way!

[Homer storms into his sector and frantically tries to decide which framed picture on his panel he should rescue. Out of all the family photos, he chooses a black and white of himself dressed like a cowboy.]

MMan

Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!

[Mr. Burns and Smithers stand outside the plant, waiting for Burns' victims to evacuate.]

Is it supposed to take this long? What's a good time for a mass evacuation of the entire plant?

Forty-five seconds!

And what's our time so far?

I don't know, sir. This stopwatch only goes up to fifteen minutes.

Damnation! What kind of slow coaches do I have working for me? Ah. Here comes one of our fellows now.

[Homer runs out the door and shuts the door and secures it with a bench, before he runs, panting, to his boss.]

I think I won, Mr. Burns.

Yes! [Hauntingly] You won, all right! You won more than you bargained for.

Woo-hoo!

[Mr. Burns scolds his employees (who finally made an escape, albeit messily) for showing a lack of teamwork. Lenny and Carl get into a fistfight, proving his point. The crowd cheers the fight, but Mr. Burns shows disappointment.]

What a disgraceful display! I've seen more orderly behavior in a Ritz Brothers film. You all need a serious lesson in teamwork.

Maybe he does, but I don't.

Hey, you take that back!

No! You take that back!

Hit him, Carl! You too, Lenny! D'oh!

So, Burns is gonna make us all go on a stupid corporate retreat up in the mountains to learn about teamwork. Which means we'll have to cancel our plans to hang around here.

Teamwork is overrated.

Huh?

Think about it. I mean, what team was Babe Ruth on? Who knows.

LMLisa/Marge

Yankees.

Sharing is a bunch of bull, too. And helping others. And what's all this crap I've been hearing about tolerance?

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. But I think we have to go to the retreat anyway.

[Employees are teamed up by pulling names out of a hat]

[Draws a name] Homer Simpson, and [draws another] Mr. Burns?

[Disappointed] AWWW!!

HSHomer's Brain

Quiet, you idiot. You're on the only team that can't possibly be fired!

[Intrigued] Oh...

[Smithers is hiking up the snowy mountain, alone, cursing Mr. Burns]

How could you do this to me, Mr. Burns? After all I've done for you. Why, if you were here, I'd kick you right in your boney old behind!

["boney old behind" echoes through the mountain, Mr. Burns and Homer hear it]

Why, thank you, Simpson! I have been watching my figure.

SBSmokey the Bear Robot

Only who can prevent forest fires?

[out of choices "you" and "me", Bart presses "you"]

SBSmokey the Bear Robot

You pressed "You" referring to me. The correct answer was you.

BBurns

Ah sitting, the great leveler. From the lowliest peasant to the mightiest pharaoh, who does not enjoy a good sit?

Oh, man, you are so right. Did you ever sit like this?

Yes, yes, that's it. Oh, I could go for one of those right now. Ahh! The only hard part is getting up.

He-he. Why get up? Here's a little move I have been tinkering with. Say I wanted that bowl of dip.

Why, you'd have to get up.

Oh?

[Homer pounds table, which causes bowl to leap several times until it comes into Homer's hand]

Sir, I am in your debt.

Use it wisely, my friend.

[after multiple avalanches caused] Those last three avalanches were your fault, Simpson!

According to the map, the cabin should be right here.

Hey, maybe there is no cabin. Maybe it's one of them metaphorical things.

Oh yeah, yeah... Like maybe the cabin is the place inside each of us, created by our goodwill and teamwork.

[in a flash of insight] Ohhh! Nah, they said there would be sandwiches.
