[Mr. Burns and Smithers watch surveillance footage of employees toying around and avoiding work]
Ooh, look at them, Smithers - goldbrickers, layabouts, slugabeds. Little do they realize their days of suckling at my teat are numbered.
Oh, in the meantime, sir, may I suggest a random firing? Just to throw the fear of God into them.
Very well. [to the screen] Eeny, meeny, miny... [sees Homer sleeping on his workplace] Blugh! Him!
[on the speaker] Attention, Homer Simpson. Attention, Homer Simpson. [Homer doesn't wake up] Wake up, Homer!
[wakes up, alarmed and confused] What? Huh? What?! [starts pressing buttons]
[on the speaker] You're fired.
For what?
[on the speaker] For sleeping on the job.
How did you know I was sleeping?
[on the speaker] We've been watching you on the surveillance camera.
[sees camera off-screen] Camera? D'oh!
