0:57 Okay, Ron. Which one of our girls said the following about you?
1:01 He looked so sexy, I hoped we would have sex.
1:04 Well, that's a tough one, because I did the deed with Ooda, Candy, and Shasta.
1:10 It's true, all right.
1:12 But I'm going to have to go with Shasta, because she liked making bacon on the beach.
1:18 Ooh, me too.
1:22 Oh, bacon.
1:26 Mr. Simpson, my husband and I have decided to move.
1:29 Gonna run out to Clackin' Florida, eh?
1:31 Yes. Well, there's a few things you could do to help us sell our home.
1:35 First, whenever you walk in front of your window, could you please wear pants?
1:41 No.
1:42 Second, could you please take in your jack-o'-lanterns from past Halloweens?
1:49 No. And please cover your garbage. It's attracting wildlife.
1:54 Hey, Moose!
1:56 Yeah! Talking to you! Get off my lawn!
1:58 Now!
1:59 You!
2:00 Ah!
2:05 Hello, what's this? Wire hangers?
2:08 Expired medicine?
2:10 Old newspapers?
2:13 Okay, Homer, stay calm. Just quietly get this stuff inside your house.
2:20 Homer, you're not listening.
2:24 That medicine's not for you.
2:26 Come on, Marge. Maybe I'm not getting enough estrogen.
2:30 Give me that.
2:31 Ahoy, mateys. How do you feel of tacos?
2:34 Would ye sooner eat a bilge rat than another burger?
2:38 Then come for all ye can eat seafood at the Fryin' Dutchman.
2:44 Is it more iced tea ye be needin'? Okay.
2:50 Set sail for the Fryin' Dutchman.
2:53 Aye, aye, Captain. Marge, we're going to that restaurant.
2:56 But I think I'm allergic to seafood.
2:58 The last time I ate shrimp, my throat closed up and I went into convulsions.
3:03 Mmm, shrimp.
3:05 Now, I don't know much about haggling or bargaining,
3:08 so why don't we just agree to pay whatever the Winfields want?
3:11 That could work.
3:13 What was that?
3:15 Sigh.
3:18 There you are.
3:20 Thought you could get away, huh?
3:22 Goodbye.
3:33 I don't think we should be down here Nervous, Lisa?
3:36 I don't blame you This is where the Winfields hid their mutated sun Bart,
3:41 the Winfields didn't have a sun See that sock over there?
3:44 It was his only friend
3:47 Hello, Lisa Here in the dark, you won't need those eyes Let me have them Bart,
3:52 that's not funny There are some who say the monster is still here!
4:02 Friend.
4:09 Hey, kid, wake up. Who are you?
4:12 I'm Laura, your new neighbor.
4:14 You all right?
4:16 She's beautiful.
4:17 Say something clever.
4:18 I fell on my bottom.
4:26 Oh, not again.
4:28 My mother's inside, Mrs. Simpson.
4:31 Please go right on in. Oh, you speak so politely to adults.
4:35 My upbringing was painfully strict, ma'am.
4:37 That's sweet.
4:39 And finally, Moe's tavern has contributed a coupon as their way of saying,
4:44 Welcome to Springfield. Thank you. This is all so nice.
4:48 I actually had some doubts about moving to Springfield,
4:51 especially after that time cover story.
4:53 America's worst city? You can see our house in that photo.
4:57 Oh.
4:58 And this is for the man of the house,
5:03 which I guess is you.
5:07 I guess I should explain.
5:09 Laura's father and I divorced two years ago.
5:11 They're so sweet when you marry them, but soon it's just career, career, career.
5:16 My hammock. Do you understand?
5:19 Mine.
5:20 Don't look that way.
5:23 I bet you don't know this one How'd you like a Hertz donut?
5:27 Hertz donut
5:29 Right, do you know what a wet willy is?
5:31 Is it this?
5:33 Hey baby, how about putting your finger in my ear?
5:36 Well, I don't know, your boyfriend looks like the jealous type Hey, what the...
5:40 That chick's messing with our minds Let's get out of here Now, where were we?
5:46 Oh yeah, I was going to tell your fortune Huh?
5:49 Oh, man.
5:50 You're going to be rich. Whoa.
5:52 There's your mansion.
5:54 There's the tennis court.
5:56 And there's the swimming pool. See you later, Bart.
6:00 I'll never wash this hand again.
6:05 Dad, make Bart wash his hand.
6:08 Sorry, Elise. I no longer control the hand.
6:11 The hand controls me.
6:13 Dad!
6:14 Shut up, you little monsters.
6:16 Hello, I was wondering if you'd like to babysit my little angels.
6:20 Sorry, this isn't Abby.
6:21 This is her sister.
6:23 I look after her now.
6:24 No, Bart, put it down.
6:27 Put it down, Bart.
6:29 Bart, put it down.
6:32 Oh, no all-you-can-eat seafood.
6:35 I wore my extra loose pants for nothing.
6:37 Nothing!
6:39 Maybe Laura could watch us. Oh, I get it.
6:43 Bart, the babysitter's here. Let me tuck you in.
6:48 Silence!
6:50 Huh?
6:52 Wah!
6:54 Maybe it's time I wash my hand.
6:57 I'll send Laura over to babysit as soon as she gets home.
7:00 Great.
7:01 Oh, uh, and there was something else. Something I was supposed to tiptoe around.
7:07 My divorce.
7:08 That's it. Woo-hoo. I'm glad one of us remembered.
7:11 That could have been embarrassing. Well, I know what you're thinking,
7:14 and the answer is yes.
7:15 I want to be fixed up with one of your friends as soon as you can arrange it.
7:19 After all, Homer, I do have the normal appetites.
7:23 I know what you mean.
7:25 Just let me make sure we're not talking about food.
7:28 I'm not. Right! Me neither.
7:31 We're talking about sex, right?
7:32 Right.
7:33 I hear you loud and clear.
7:37 Bart, are you taking a bath? Yes, I am,
7:40 and it would be nice to have a little privacy around here for a change.
7:43 This wouldn't have anything to do with Laura coming over, would it?
7:46 Hey, sometimes a guy just likes his skin to look its yellowest.
7:51 Why, Laura, what a pleasant surprise.
7:55 Cute.
7:56 What do you guys want for dinner? I don't care.
7:58 Ask Kef over there.
8:00 Lady's choice.
8:07 Sometimes I think you want to fail Shut up, just shut up
8:15 We used to eat this when my dad was stationed in Vandahar Take your kofta vissanya and dip
8:20 it in the labna
8:22 Now that is good labna
8:31 I'm sorry, ma'am, but everything on the menu has fish in it What about the bread?
8:35 Does that have much fish in it?
8:36 Yes Oh, I have some Tic Tacs in my purse Excellent choice And for the gentleman?
8:42 All you can eat, all you can eat All right, when you're ready, take this plate over
8:48 Please, don't take this steam tray, sir Come on, Bart, if I can teach Maggie to waltz,
8:52 I can teach you
8:56 Just follow me.
8:57 Put your hand on my hip.
8:59 Okay.
9:14 Wedgie, hello.
9:27 That man ate all our shrimp and two plastic lobsters.
9:30 Tis no man. Tis a remorseless eating machine.
9:35 Six bells.
9:37 Time for closing.
9:38 Can't talk. Eating. Fairly warned be thee, says I.
9:51 But the sign said all you can eat.
9:56 I'm going to fight this thing. Oh, please don't.
10:00 For me?
10:01 Sorry, Marge. This is my quest.
10:03 I'm like that guy, that Spanish guy.
10:06 You know, he fought the windmills. Don Quixote?
10:09 No, that's not it. What's his name? The Man of La Mancha.
10:11 Don Quixote. No.
10:13 I really think that was the character's name.
10:15 Don Quixote. Fine, now look it up.
10:20 Well, who was it?
10:21 Never mind.
10:22 Mm-hmm.
10:30 Oh, no. Here comes the conservative judge.
10:34 Plead insanity. Plead insanity. It's not working.
10:37 All right, hit the change of venue button.
10:39 Now.
10:41 Oh, no, you're in Texas.
10:48 If I'd hit the remorse button one more time, I would have made it.
10:51 Oh, Bart, I gotta go. See you around.
10:53 I am thinking you like this girl, yes? How did you know?
10:58 My ceiling mirrors and video cameras sometimes see more than who is about to shoot me.
11:03 All you can eat. Mr.
11:06 Simpson,
11:06 this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film The
11:11 NeverEnding Story.
11:13 So, do you think I have a case? Homer, I don't use the word hero very often.
11:17 But you are the greatest hero in American history.
11:22 Woo-hoo!
11:24 I'm here to see my grandpa.
11:26 Here I am, sonny. You're not my grandpa.
11:29 Oh, come on, give me a chance. Hey, can your grandfather do this?
11:38 Bart!
11:39 Oh, you remembered my birthday.
11:42 Huh?
11:44 Oh, I sure did.
11:46 Here's a bus schedule.
11:48 Wow!
11:48 Fits right in my pocket.
11:51 Grandpa, I need some advice.
11:53 Did you ever have a crush on an older woman?
11:55 I had a crush on the oldest woman.
11:58 120 years old she was. Here's a picture of her delivering UB Blake.
12:04 What happened?
12:05 She fell in with that Guinness Book of Records crowd.
12:09 Suddenly, she didn't have any time for me.
12:12 Oh, I wore a 15-pound beard of bees for that woman, but it just wasn't enough.
12:19 Dad, I have some questions about women.
12:21 Uh, can't you see I'm reading the, uh, cultural calendar?
12:26 Ooh, mostly Mozart is in town. Homer, Bart's at a very curious age.
12:31 As his father, I think he should have a frank and earthy discussion about...
12:36 You know.
12:37 But Marge, I think he should learn about it the same way I did.
12:40 Are you sure?
12:43 Hmm.
12:46 Toekeeper! Toekeeper! Those two monkeys are killing each other!
12:49 They're having sex. Oh?
12:52 Maybe you're right.
12:53 Not if you'll excuse us.
12:56 This is a sacred moment between a boy and his father.
13:00 Son, a woman is a lot like, um, a refrigerator.
13:05 They're about six feet tall, 300 pounds.
13:09 They make ice and... Oh, wait a minute. Actually,
13:13 a woman is more like a beer.
13:15 They smell good. They look good.
13:18 You'd step over your own mother just to get one.
13:22 But you can't stop at one. Do you want to drink another woman?
13:28 So I says, yeah.
13:30 If you want that money, come and find it.
13:32 Because I don't know where it is, you baloney.
13:36 You make me want a rat.
13:46 How can I get her to notice me?
13:50 Meet me at the treehouse, Bart. and come alone.
14:03 Thanks for coming.
14:05 I pleased to aim.
14:07 I'm so happy. I just had to tell someone.
14:09 I have a boyfriend.
14:15 You won't be needing this.
14:30 A boyfriend?
14:32 I really think you'd like him, Bart.
14:34 His name's Jimbo.
14:35 Jimbo Jones?
14:44 You've been flushing for 20 minutes.
14:46 Is there a problem?
14:47 No, Principal Skinner.
14:51 Very well.
14:52 I'll continue to wait.
15:01 How can you like that guy?
15:03 I don't know. Maybe because he's an outlaw.
15:05 You know that dead body they found behind the mayor's house?
15:08 Jimbo killed him?
15:10 No, but he poked him with a stick.
15:14 Hey, Laura, Dr. Tong has arrived.
15:17 That's him, Bart.
15:20 Who's the dork? Leave him alone. He's just a kid.
15:23 Just a kid.
15:25 I'll show them who's just a kid.
15:28 Bart, it's your bedtime. I laid out your jammy jams.
15:35 Dad,
15:37 if there's a really special girl and she likes some clod who's beneath her,
15:40 what should you do?
15:41 I married her.
15:45 Homer, please.
15:47 I just had eggs. Good luck in your trumped-up lawsuit, Dad.
15:51 Thanks. That means a lot to me.
15:54 All right, you guys. I want you in bed before Jimbo gets here.
15:57 What do you like about him? He's just a good-looking rebel who plays by his own rules.
16:04 It was a moonless night, dark as pitch,
16:07 when out the mist came a beast more stomach than man.
16:11 Hey! So I says to me bosuns, batten down the mizzenmast, mateys.
16:15 Captain McAllister, isn't it a fact that you're not a real captain?
16:21 Aye.
16:23 Your Honor, I would like to show the court just how much shrimp Mr.
16:27 Simpson ate.
16:28 Bring it in, boys!
16:37 18,000 letters, all addressed to Santa Claus.
16:41 You want the people of Springfield versus Kris Kringle.
16:44 That's next door. Ow.
16:47 Mrs. Simpson,
16:48 isn't it true your husband once consumed a ten-pound bag of flour when no other
16:54 food was available?
16:55 Yes, but it was... Your witness!
16:59 Uh, there's a pizza here for... Right here.
17:02 Mrs. Simpson, what did you and your husband do after you were ejected from the restaurant?
17:08 We pretty much went straight home. Mrs. Simpson, you're under oath.
17:12 We drove around until 3 a.m.
17:16 looking for another all-you-can-eat fish restaurant And when you couldn't find
17:22 one? We went fishing
17:27 Did these sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?
17:32 No!
17:33 That could have been me!
17:35 Homer, I've a proposition for ye, fair and true Come on, Marge.
17:41 Let the people see your pretty face.
17:43 Come see Bottomless Pete. Nature's cruelest mistake.
17:47 Come for the freak.
17:49 Stay for the food.
17:50 Oh, he's hideous.
17:52 I heard they shaved a gorilla.
17:55 Hey, baby.
17:56 My shirt's chafing me.
17:59 Mind if I take it off?
18:00 Well, okay.
18:08 I've got to do something
18:11 But it says good for one free beer at Moe's This is Moe's Tavern, isn't it?
18:16 No, this is Boe's Cavern Give me my beer
18:21 Stupid welcome mobile, I knew it would ruin me
18:26 Hey, just a sec, I'll check Uh, Amanda Huggenkiss?
18:29 Hey,
18:30 I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss Why can't I find a man to hug and kiss?
18:37 Maybe your standards are too high.
18:40 Little Essobe.
18:41 If I ever find out who you are,
18:43 I'm gonna shove a sausage down your throat and stick starving dogs in your butt.
18:47 My name is Jimbo Jones, and I live at 1094 Evergreen Terrace.
18:52 Aha!
18:53 Big mistake, pal!
18:55 I knew he'd slip up sooner or later.
18:58 Ah, yes.
18:59 Rusty and dull.
19:02 Bonnie, don't steal any beer while I'm gone.
19:05 What kind of pathetic drunk do you take me for?
19:09 Somebody spilled beer in this ashtray.
19:18 Let's see. Where is that map?
19:20 Evergreen Terrace. There it is, F5.
19:29 I don't believe it. Now my pants are chafing me.
19:34 All right.
19:36 Who's Jimbo Jones?
19:37 I am.
19:38 You just made your second mistake, buddy boy.
19:41 Please, dude.
19:42 Don't hurt me.
19:44 Oh, man.
19:47 That's your outlaw? I wasn't really going to kill you.
19:50 I was just going to cut you.
19:53 Forget it.
19:55 Ouch. I better go check on Bonnie.
20:01 Uh-oh, my heart just stopped.
20:06 Ah, there it goes.
20:13 Stupid wishing well.
20:16 Jimbo, I don't think we should see each other anymore.
20:19 You're just not the guy I thought you were.
20:22 Can I have my shirt back?
20:28 Well, Bart, you were right about him.
20:30 As usual, a knife-wielding maniac has shown us the way.
20:34 You know, if you were only old enough to grow a bad teenage mustache,
20:37 I'd go out with you in a second.
20:41 Wow.
20:42 Hello, I'd like to speak to Ms. Tinkle.
20:45 First name...
20:48 Ivana?
20:49 Ivana Tinkle. Just a sec.
