He first stands at the board with his chalk hand raised, then turns and hops sideways with his arms outstretched and a grin, while a red wastebasket and a wall clock sit nearby. The scene opens from black to a blue sky with clouds, and the title card "THE SIMPSONS" appears in yellow letters over the clouds. > The Simpsons Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1043.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/6048 ## 0:12–0:23 Homer, in a white shirt, first sits in a pink car in the driveway, then rides a small red bike with a stack of boxes past the garage and into a purple room with a red bed and a wall panel, reaching toward the panel with his mouth open. Bart and Lisa are in a pink living room with a brown couch, a lamp and a telephone; Lisa is sprawled face-down on the teal carpet with her star-spiky hair while Bart looks on wide-eyed. The room is then empty except for a large black scorch mark spreading across the carpet, with the lamp shade and telephone table nearby.

The first frame reads "Created by Matt Groening" in yellow letters on the blue screen, and the next two read "Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon." The screen then fades to black, and the sequence ends on an exterior night view of the Simpsons' blue-roofed house with its lit windows, pink chimney and parked cars, with no people visible. > All right, I raise a quarter.

Barney holds a mug and a card while Homer slumps forward looking dazed, and later Homer sits with his mouth open as Moe watches beside him. Homer then raises a blue chip between his fingers while Moe looks on, and the caption "Co-Executive Producer JACE RICHDALE" appears over the lower part of the scene. > How about? I'm out. I'm out. > Homer, you want any cards? > Homer! > Don't try to eat these so-called chips.

Homer grips his cards and shields his face with them while Moe slides a card across and leans back smirking. Earlier, a dark-haired man in a green shirt and purple suspenders smokes a cigar at the bar, and beer bottles sit on the counter. On-screen credits read 'Supervising Producers Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein' and 'Co-Producer Greg Daniels'. > Do you want another card or not? Oh, okay, I'll take three. > Don't! > I mean... Woo-hoo! > I'm in. > Let's see your cards. Oh, I was bluffing.

Moe, scowling and gesturing with clenched fists and open hands, argues and bluffs while Homer, looking uneasy, leans back and then reaches forward. The scene then cuts to a row of red-heart playing cards, including a 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5, as Homer's yellow hand flips them over and fans them out on the orange table. Back at the bar, Homer grins smugly while Moe clenches his fists angrily, and the on-screen caption reads "Producer MIKE SCULLY" over the table. > Ha ha ha ha ha! > Come to papa! > Wait a minute... You have a straight flush, Homer! > Go! You do this every time! You... Oh, you...

Carl, a Black man in a pink sweater, stands beside a white refrigerator holding a cigar, first raising it to speak and then gesturing outward with his other hand as he talks, with a bottle and plate on the bar nearby. > Ugh! > God! > Choking on my own rage here! Hey, don't yell at Homer. > Just cause he's a little slow.

He starts with wide, startled eyes, then narrows them into a suspicious, annoyed squint, then looks worried and sideways, and finally snaps back to wide-eyed alarm. The changing expressions are the only action, and no other characters, text, or objects are clearly visible beyond the wall fixture. > Huh! > Something was said. > Not good. What was it? > Don't yell at Homer! > No, that's okay. > What was it? > Slow! > They called you slow! > How dare you call me that!

The man walks to an open refrigerator, looks back with a scowl and a hand on his hip, and Homer watches him from beside the table, which is littered with bottles, glasses and a bowl. The scene ends on a moonlit night view of pink and blue suburban houses, with on-screen credits reading 'Consulting Producers AL JEAN & MIKE REISS' and 'Co-Produced by JOSEPH A. BOUCHER'. > I... > Hey homie, you still here? Boy, you are slow. > Something said not good. Get the hell out of here!

Homer talks while gesturing with his hands and turning his head, and the family eats at the table with plates, glasses and a dish of food in front of them. Behind them a window shows a yard and houses past yellow corn-patterned curtains. Credit captions read 'Produced by' with names and 'Written by GREG DANIELS' appear over the table. > So anywho, last night we're playing poker, right? > As usual, I'm winning and not realizing it.

Homer gestures with his hands and grins, then opens his mouth wide and leans forward over his plate of food while the other two watch. Glasses, salt shakers, and bowls sit on the blue tablecloth, and corn-patterned curtains frame a window showing a backyard fence. In the second moment, the white on-screen credit reads "Directed by CARLOS BAEZA" across the lower middle of the scene. > And Lenny says that I'm... > Get this. > A little slow!

Homer, the bald heavy man in the white shirt, first sits with his arms bent in front of him and his mouth open in a laugh, then rubs his eyes with his hand while still laughing. He then throws both arms up in the air with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed look, and finally sits with his arms down, grimacing and looking sideways while the children watch him, with plates of food, glasses and salt and pepper shakers on the table. > How come you're not laughing? > Do you think I'm slow? Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/119286.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/122623 ## 2:07–2:19 Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair in a red dress and pearl necklace, sits at the kitchen table in the first frame, stirring a bowl of food with a spoon while glancing sideways. Next to her, Maggie, the baby with a blue bow and a pacifier, sits in a high chair, then Marge, the tall blue beehive-haired woman in a green top and red beaded necklace, sits at the same table eating from a bowl with a spoon, a glass of milk and a folded paper beside her. Marge lifts the spoon to her mouth with a grimacing, sideways look, then in the last frame she sits with her eyes half-closed and her head lowered as she lifts the spoon toward the bowl. The kitchen has a dish rack, a sink, a corn-patterned curtain, a red stool and a framed still-life painting on the wall. > Buh. > We don't think you're slow. > But on the other hand, it's not like you go to museums or read books or anything.

Across the moment his eyes widen and he grimaces with clenched teeth, his face tensing and then settling into a wary, worried stare with his mouth pressed shut. He barely moves beyond these facial changes and a slight shift of his head. > You think I don't want to? Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/140557.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/140140 ## 2:20–2:30 Homer Simpson, the bald heavyset man in a white shirt, sits at the kitchen table between Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair and a red dress, and Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, with a plate of food, glasses of milk and salt and pepper shakers in front of them. Homer gestures with both hands, then rubs his chin and brings a hand to his mouth, then lifts his hands in front of his chest and sighs while staring off to the side, and finally raises a pointing finger with a wry expression. Through the window behind them, a green fence and a red-roofed house are visible beside yellow corn-patterned curtains. > It's those TV networks, Marge. They won't let me. > One quality show after another, each one fresher and more brilliant than the last, > if they only stumbled once, just gave us 30 minutes to ourselves.

Homer raises his hands to his mouth as he eats, then grimaces with his arms spread over the blue tablecloth. He slumps forward until his face lies flat on the table beside a plate of food, while the corn-patterned curtains and sink stay behind him. > But they won't! > They won't let me live!

In a bedroom with pink walls, two lamps on blue nightstands, and a framed picture of Bart and Lisa hanging above the bed, Homer slumps forward and looks dejected while Marge comforts him and watches him with concern. Over the course of the scene Homer slowly lifts his head, his eyes widening as he looks off to the side, while Marge keeps her hand on his shoulder and her expression grows more worried. > Oh, who am I kidding? I am slow. > Oh, homie. > If you feel so bad about yourself, there's always things you can do to feel better. > Take another bath and malt liquor? There's that. > Or you can take an adult education course.

The bedroom has pink walls, a purple headboard, and lamps on both nightstands, with a framed picture of Bart and Lisa hanging on the wall behind them. Marge starts by raising one finger while Homer sits with a stern, frowning expression. Homer then gestures with an open hand, looking flustered, and in the final moment he waves both hands in the air and talks animatedly while Marge looks on with her eyes half-closed. > Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? > Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/173298.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/178303 ## 3:04–3:17 Homer Simpson, in his light blue pajamas, sits on the edge of a bed beside Marge, who has her tall blue beehive and wears a pink nightgown with white trim, as they sit in their bedroom under a framed picture of Bart and Lisa. Homer turns to speak while Marge looks away with her hands clasped, and then the scene cuts to the exterior of the Adult Education Annex, where a sign reads "ADULT EDUCATION ANNEX" and "WE TAKE THE 'DOLT' OUT OF A-DOLT EDUCATION" above glass doors. Homer, in a white shirt and blue pants, walks up to the entrance and pushes through one of the doors. > Remember when I took that home winemaking course and I forgot how to drive? > That's because you were drunk. > And how.

Selma, with grey-violet hair and a pink dress, appears in that doorway, then steps forward and gestures toward a blackboard in a classroom. Seated at desks, a row of women in green, teal, blue and grey outfits lean forward, clapping and gesturing excitedly. > One way to drive your man wild is to wear tight, revealing clothes. > Eww! Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/198323.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/202703 ## 3:28–3:37 Selma, with her grey-violet hair, green earrings and beaded necklace, smokes a cigarette in a dim room while Homer, in a white shirt and blue trousers, stands beside an easel and looks toward a sign. Homer's gaze shifts to the sign reading "Funk Dancing for Self-Defense" as he turns toward a doorway, where Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a black shirt, sits on a desk and looks at him. The easel and sign stand against a brown wall as Selma's pink-sleeved arm appears at the edge of the frame. > At this point, I'd like to remind you there are no refunds. > Alright, here's the 411, folks. Say some gangster is dissing your fly girl.

Moe hops down, gestures with his arms, and turns to a boombox sitting on the desk, then sweeps across the room with a guitar slung in his hands as paper scraps fly past the chalkboard. Seated students in the foreground, including one writing with a pencil, cover their heads with their hands while a round wall clock hangs above the purple door. > Just give him one of these. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/218135.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/223140 ## 3:49–4:02 Homer stands at the open door of a room with an orange wall, beside an easel sign with partly visible lettering, while a man in a green sweater with spiky black hair stands near a desk. A brown stream of spit then flies from off-screen toward a fat yellow vase beneath a wall outlet. Back in a classroom with a blackboard, the green-sweater man in suspenders points at the board while students sit at desks: a bald man in a pink shirt, a boy with red hair, and a woman with long curly black hair. Among them, a bald man in a captain's cap with a white beard and another man with a red beard in overalls watch, and the elderly man with glasses and spiky hair at the front desk spits brown liquid into a glass holding dentures. > See, that ping sound means the spit was on target. > Now you try. > Getting better.

The scene then shows a classroom where seated students at wooden desks include a dark-haired man in headphones and a pink shirt, a bearded man in a white captain's hat, and a red-bearded man in blue overalls, all looking forward. > Wait a minute. > Even Lenny is teaching a class. > Look at the way they admire and adore him.

The scene then cuts to a pink door with a frosted glass window reading "ADULT EDUCATION ANNEX ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE," where the blue silhouettes of two figures are seen talking on the other side, with one figure's hand raised to its chin. The door's brass knob is visible at the lower left of the glass panel. > That's it. If he can teach a class, he can teach a class! > I mean I can teach a class! > What is your area of expertise?

Homer then covers his face with both hands, lifts one hand to his chest with his mouth open and eyes wide, and finally leans on the desk looking off to the side. A water cooler, a red pencil cup, and framed certificates on the wall are visible throughout. > Well, I can tell the difference between butter and I can't believe it's not butter. > No you can't, Mr. Simpson, no one can! > Oh, I failed again. > Everybody can teach a class but me? > I'm an idiot! > What am I gonna tell my wife and kids? Oh, you're married?

Skinner then sits with his hands clasped on the desk, smiling and speaking, and his expression shifts slightly as he pauses, purses his lips, and continues talking in the office with window blinds behind him. > That depends. > Is there another way to get this job? > No, Mr. Simpson, what I mean is, we may have a job for you after all.

Homer points at the man, then lifts his hands to his cheeks in a wide-eyed, grimacing panic while the older man leans back with folded arms, and Homer finally twists his face and wrings his hands in a sulky, bored expression. Behind them a green wall shows shelves of books, a radio, a framed certificate, and a red pencil cup on the desk beside a telephone, with a blue wastebasket of crumpled paper below. > We need someone to teach a course on how to build a successful marriage. > I'll do it! > Anything to get me out of that house, > away from all that nagging and noise of a family of love. > Sha-la-la-la.

Then Marge, with her tall blue beehive, Lisa, Maggie, Bart and Homer, in a dark coat with a grey fur collar and holding a pipe, sit at a blue-draped table in a checkered-floor kitchen. Homer next stands by a lavender wall phone with a clipboard above it, gesturing with his pipe, laughing with his eyes shut, and then leaning into the receiver with a grin. > Look, everyone. > Now that I'm a teacher, I've sewed patches on my elbows. > Homer, that's supposed to be leather patches on a tweed blazer, not the other way around.

Homer Simpson, bald and wearing a dark jacket with a grey fur collar, stands by a wall phone and a green wall cabinet with a heart sticker, holding a brown pipe and grinning with eyes closed. He then turns to hold up a green sweater with ragged, moth-eaten patches at the elbows on a pink hanger, grinning with his eyes wide open. The scene ends with the frayed green garment held up in front of the pink wall. > You've ruined a perfectly good jacket. > Uh, incorrect, Marge. > Two perfectly good jackets. > I think it's great you're a teacher, Dad.

Homer holds a pipe and gestures toward the fridge as Lisa looks up at him, then he breaks into a broad grin with his eyes squeezed shut. Details include a purple spice rack, hanging pot holders, and a bowl of green food on the table. > So, > will you be lecturing from a standardized text or using the more Socratic method of interactive > class participation? > Yes, Lisa. > Daddy's a teacher.

Homer then turns and hurries down the steps past the flower boxes, while the man stays in the doorway. Outside, a pink car with exhaust puffing from its rear drives past the house, which has a striped awning over the entrance. > Homer, what a pleasant... Can't talk now, Flayners. > I've got a class to teach. > But you rang my...

Homer, bald and wearing a suit and tie, sits in the driver's seat and talks to the speaker beside Krusty the clown's grinning face on the 'Krusty Burger' sign, then smiles and leans back as the car pulls away. The 'PLACE ORDER HERE' box and a 'NEW!' burger sticker remain on the sign as the empty drive-through is left behind. > Can I take your order? > Nothing for me today. > I've got a class to teach. > Sir, it's a felony to tease the order box.

A man with shaggy brown hair and round glasses in a white shirt with a red tie grips the wheel of an orange car, which then rolls forward past the light while small dust puffs rise from the road around it. Traffic lights, a purple sedan and brick and purple storefronts line the street. > It's all right. > I'm a teacher. > I didn't know we could do that.

The students watch at first, then grimace and cover their ears while Homer turns from the board to face them with an arm outstretched, and finally he turns back to write on the blackboard. The chalk text reads "SECRETS OF A SUCCESSFUL MARR..." with "HOMER SIMPS..." and "teacher!" underlined beneath it. > All right.

He speaks, points at the word "teacher" with one finger, then turns his head and jabs his arm toward the right while a dark smudge appears on his scalp and his expression sours in a scowl. He then raises a hand to his head, rubbing it while leaning sideways, and finally straightens up with his hands at his sides and a blank, sullen look. > The first thing they told me to do is to make sure everyone here is in the right class. > Down the hall, room 12. > I'll go. > Okay, let's get started. > Uh...

At first he stands with one hand raised to his chin, and a girl in a red top at the left stays still with her head turned toward him. Later a blonde girl with pigtails and a pink bow appears at the left edge, and the student in the dark-haired red top raises a hand to her mouth. In the final moment Homer lowers his hand and points off to the left with his arm extended, while the students in the foreground sit at their desks with their backs to the viewer. > Um... > Hmm...

Principal Skinner, with neat grey hair and a blue suit, raises a hand to his head with his mouth open, beside a bespectacled man in a purple bow tie and a dark-haired woman at the edge of the frame. Homer returns to the board, pondering with a finger on his chin and then grinning with his arms folded, while an orange ball and a red object sit on the desk in front of him. > Uh... Hmm... Um...

In the first shot, a classroom scene shows Mrs. Krabappel with her tall brown hairdo at left, Principal Skinner in a suit behind her, Marge with her tall blue beehive, and Homer in the foreground with his hand on his face. Otto then gestures with both hands, rolls his eyes and grimaces, then looks upward with his eyes wide and his mouth open, and finally leans on the desk with his hands clasped and a sideways glance, while the fire extinguisher on the yellow wall stays in place. > my standards are just too high, you know? > I feel like nobody's good enough for me. > Whoa. > I think you got them all, but you forget about the eggs.

The man in the suit raises an index finger, then gestures with his hands and grimaces with a clenched-teeth expression, and finally shuts his eyes and rests his hands on the desk.

She first glances sideways with a sly look, then he raises a hand to his mouth to whisper to her while she closes her eyes and smiles. She laughs as she holds up a small set of keys and a card in her hands while he smiles at her. > Well, I'm a smart woman, but I make bad choices. > I was somebody with my car and find this. > Okay, here's a set of house keys and my ATM card. > Um, I was married once, but, uh, I just didn't know how to keep it together.

The scene then switches to black-and-white, where a grey-haired man with glasses in a dark bathrobe stands beside a glass on a table, looking to the side, while a dark, beehive-like hairdo decorated with white flowers hangs on the wall behind him. > Come on, Waylon.

Behind him, a dark-haired woman in a white camisole sits on a bed, holding a cigarette and watching him, while a tall flower arrangement hangs on the wall and a metal chair sits at the left edge. > Make love to me the way you used to. > No. > It's that horrible Mr. Burns, isn't it?

He grins and talks with his mouth open as she watches from the bed, with a wine bottle, glasses and a flower-filled wall planter nearby. The scene then cuts outside to a grand spiral staircase where a thin man with glasses (Smithers) spreads his arms, while a stooped, hook-nosed figure (Mr. Burns) stands at a balcony window above. > Burns out of this! > Smithers!

Beside him, Principal Skinner, with neat grey hair, glasses, a purple bow tie and a green jacket with a name badge, sits at a desk looking on, his face tense and teeth clenched in an irritated expression. A wild, distorted stylized figure, bald and thin with a huge gaping mouth, appears in a black-and-white sketch, and a blurred yellow-green image of Skinner shows him sitting with his bow tie visible. > Mr. Simpson, are you listening? > Simpson! > Huh? > Yeah, I was listening.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a big grin, leans out of the box at the night-time drive-through. > Come on, tell us more.

The pink car pulls away to the left and disappears, leaving Krusty and Wiggum on the sidewalk and parking lot.

Later Marge laughs with a wide open mouth, and in the last frame Moe, the grey-haired bartender, appears behind a cash register with an orange juice bottle on the counter and a blue purse hanging from Marge's arm, as Marge looks off to the side and Apu stands at the counter edge.

Homer gestures with an open hand while talking, then brings a finger to his chin and his mouth opens wide in speech, before he reaches out his hand toward Marge with a worried grimace. He then sits quietly with a tense, uneasy expression while Marge looks at him and gestures toward the lamp, with a red-and-green lampshade base visible. > All right, maybe I said some things, some personal things. > But you should have seen him, Marge. > He really wanted to hear what I had to say. > I'm happy about that.

The curly-haired man spreads his arms wide and talks, then Homer gestures with one hand, rests his chin on his fist with a skeptical look, and finally raises a hand with two fingers extended. The blue book stays on the desk and the yellow wall stays behind them throughout. > What the heck was that lab fee for? No, wait! > Uh, uh, wait, I... Yes! > I do have a story about two other young Mary.

Homer then raises a pointing hand and gestures, and the scene moves to a black backdrop where he presses his yellow hands together, squints and grins as he talks. > Now the wife of this couple has an interesting quirk in the bedroom. > It seems she goes wild with desire if her husband nibbles on her elbow. > We need names!

He rubs his chin with one hand while the other rests on his chest, then sweeps an arm outward and raises his hands in front of his body as he talks. Near the end he smiles widely and lifts one hand to the side with a fist-like gesture, and the chalkboard stays blank throughout. > X and Mrs. Y. > So anyway, Mr. X would say, Marge, if this doesn't get your motor running, > my name isn't Homer J.

The scene cuts to a kitchen where Marge with her tall blue beehive stands beside Lisa and Bart, who sit at the table with glasses of milk, and Homer in a white shirt and blue pants appears in the arched doorway beside the green refrigerator, while the three of them look toward him. > Oh, Homer, don't you have to get to class? > Not tonight, Marge.

Homer grins and gestures with his hands while Marge looks at him, then his eyes widen as he stares off to the side. The scene then shifts to a pink dining room where a crowd holding papers stands behind a long table set with plates and two glasses. > Tonight, we can eat a nice, leisurely dinner at home. > Oh, well, that will be... > What the darn?

Homer raises a glass and drinks while Marge glances sideways, then he grins and gestures with his hand. The scene then shows three people holding notepads and pencils in a pink room: a teal-haired man in a dark suit, Mrs. Krabappel with her tall brown hairdo and green jacket, and a red-bearded man in a grey jacket, all scowling and grimacing. > Marge, you'll never guess what. > My whole class is here. > They're going to observe the human peep show that is our lives. > Apparently, that disturbing odor was the food.

Homer gestures with an open hand and then scowls, and later the group behind him, including a man with a notepad and a man in a cap with headphones, watches as Lisa scowls and opens her mouth to speak over a plate of ribs and a gravy boat. > So, little Lisa, apple of my eye, how were things down at the old schoolhouse? > I find this demeaning and embarrassing beyond my worst nightmares.

Homer laughs with his eyes squeezed shut, then grins and gestures with his hand, while Lisa frowns at the plate of ribs and Bart in his orange shirt watches with wide eyes beside a soda can and a plate. > And how's my little major leaguer?

Homer's chair is pushed back as he leans across the table and grabs Bart by the shirt, and Bart, wide-eyed and mouth open, reaches toward him. Lisa in her red dress and pearl necklace looks on in alarm, and a plate of brown food sits on the table amid glasses, a teapot and cutlery. Bystanders in the background, some holding notepads, react with shock and anger. > Son, I know you meant well, but that wasn't the right thing to do. > What the hell are you talking about? You're the one who double dared us. > Why you little... > Homer! > I'm out of here. Me too.

Behind her, a bow-tied man in a green jacket holds a pencil and notepad, while Homer, in his white shirt, sits at the table with a pained, sullen look. Homer then grimaces and rubs his face, and the cast around him, including a red-bearded man with a pencil and a brown-haired man in a blue suit holding a clipboard, watches. Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red beads, reaches across the table to clasp Homer's hand while squinting and grimacing, and a plate of food sits on the table in front. > Well, now that the little ones have toddled off to bed... > I want this to end now.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, is then shown in a kitchen with a green stove and a wall phone, pressing her hands to her cheeks in alarm and then glancing sideways with wide eyes. > Hey, Homer, why don't you just nibble her elbow? > That always melts her butter, right? > All right, okay. > Everybody out.

Marge, with her blue beehive and green dress, turns away toward a brown arched door while Homer, bald in a white shirt, reaches out to open it. Homer then stands in the doorway of a blue-framed arch with Marge behind him, gesturing and then rubbing his chin, as a man in a grey jacket and Principal Skinner in a blue suit look on from the crowd in front. > Ooh, she's gonna have it.

Homer is then shown sprawled on the sidewalk outside the house, while a crowd of onlookers watches from the left and a boy in an orange cap and pink shirt stands nearby. Homer lies on the ground beside the doorway and the crowd remains still as the boy keeps watching. > You too! > Huh? Get out! But I'm not in the cl... > Is any of this gonna be on the test? Cause I wasn't paying attention.

As the moment unfolds, the woman lifts her hand toward her headphones, then lowers it to her lap beside a large blue object, and the image fades to black.

He raises his hand toward the door, leans in with his mouth open, then steps back slightly and turns his head to the side while his arms hang by his sides. He ends turned partly away, looking up at the door, with a dark bush and a fence visible beside the purple lawn. > Come on, Marge, let me in! > There's crickets out here.

Homer first faces Marge with a calm, earnest look, then gestures and speaks with wide eyes, then leans in and grabs at her face while she reaches toward him. He then pushes his hands out in front of him, grimacing, as Marge reaches toward him, and finally he stares with a tense, wide-eyed expression while Marge still reaches toward him. > Okay, Marge. Things were said, mistakes were made. > Let's end this madness and get on with our lives. > You just don't get it, do you, Homer?

Marge's eyes widen and she grimaces, looking uneasy as he holds his position. The scene then shifts outdoors to Homer alone on a dusk street lined with houses, his eyes first bulging in alarm and then narrowing into a sly, sideways smirk as he speaks. > You told personal things about our lives even after you promised you wouldn't. > I can't trust you anymore. > But I learned my lesson.

He turns and walks away down the sidewalk, carrying a small bag, past the pink-and-blue two-story house with lit windows and an orange garage door, until he disappears out of view and the street is left empty. The scene is set under a purple night sky with clouds, lined with houses, dark trees, and bushes in the foreground. > This scene is getting old, man. > I'm hitting the road. > Maybe I'll drop you a line someday from wherever I wind up in this crazy old world.

Outside the window, Homer peers from a treehouse in a purple tree, and the scene then tightens on Marge, who frowns with wide eyes and then opens her mouth to speak. > Kids, your father and I are going through a really tough time right now, > and I don't know what's going to happen. > But just remember that both your mom and your dad love you very, very much.

Bart and Lisa then turn toward each other, Bart looking worried with his mouth open as Lisa stares wide-eyed and grimaces, and the two keep exchanging anxious glances in front of a wall-mounted paper towel dispenser and kitchen cabinets. Bowls sit on the blue tablecloth, and a microwave and dish rack are visible in the background. > Wow. > I've never seen Mom so mad at Homer before. > I'll tell you a secret, Bart. > Every time I'm worried about Mom and Dad, I go to the attic and add to my ball of string.

Then, outdoors in a backyard with a fence and swing set, Bart in an orange shirt and blue shorts, wearing a metal bucket on his head, climbs a purple tree using wooden planks nailed to the trunk, while a boy in a pink shirt, red shorts and a metal helmet watches from the lawn. Bart climbs higher until he is dangling from the trunk with his feet off the planks.

He then stands on a wooden treehouse floor beside Milhouse, who has blue hair, glasses, a pink shirt, red shorts and a matching helmet, while Homer, bald with a white shirt, is seen from behind at the left edge of the frame. The treehouse has a window showing a blue sky and green bushes behind the two boys. > Earth Base, this is Commander Bart McCool. > We are under attack by the Xornid Brain Changers. > Quickly, into the safety dome, Millbot. > Affirmative humanoid. > Eww. > Don't mind me, boys.

Over the moment Homer rubs a pair of white underwear against a washboard in the tub, suds gathering on the surface, and he glances up with a grin. Notable objects include the wooden barrel, the washboard, and the suds on the wooden floor.

Milhouse gestures while talking to Bart, then crouches to grab a grey helmet from the floor, and in the final moments he peeks up from behind the edge of the backdrop while Bart stares off to the side. Homer's bald yellow head and shoulder enter from the left edge of the frame, and a grey helmet lies on the floor at the right. > Sorry, Bart. Your dad kind of blew the fantasy. > I only like it when I pretend scared. > Keep up the roughhousing, son.

Homer glances sideways, grins with his mouth open, then reaches into the tub and pulls out a long white strand, stretching it upward with a worried, grimacing expression. Bart stays still behind him throughout, holding a dark object at his side. > Without a strong male presence in the house, you could turn sissy overnight. > Oh, these stubborn grass Danes.

Homer's expression shifts from wide-eyed to a hand-on-chin pondering look, then his mouth hangs open before he settles into a scowling, sceptical stare. Hedges, a blue car on the street, a blue mailbox and a wooden fence fill the scene. > Oh, good. > Reverend Lovejoy will make Marge take me back. > He has to push the sanctity of marriage, or his God will punish him.

The man sips his tea, then gestures and talks while holding a teacup, and later lifts a small white booklet with a gold cross and reads from it. A red lamp, a small potted plant, a box of pastries on a side table and a wooden coffee table with a cup and saucer are visible. > Then a divorce. > But isn't that a sin? > Marge, just about everything is a sin. > You ever sat down and read this thing?

She first sits stiffly with a worried, sleepless expression, then turns to look over at the empty pillow beside her. Next she lies still with her eyes wide while her hands rest near her chin. Finally she lifts a yellow hand to point at the empty side of the bed and then lowers it, while a bedside lamp and nightstand sit in the dim room.

He then raises the blank picture frame up toward his face, looking at it with a worried expression. Afterward, Marge, with her tall blue beehive, drives an orange station wagon with a roof rack along a street past a red building and a shop with striped awnings, and then she grips the steering wheel and looks ahead with a wary expression, wearing a red beaded necklace. > Good night, Marge. > Why didn't I take a picture? > I had ten years to take a picture! > Funny the way everything reminds me of Homer.

Across the moment she keeps the same wary, pensive expression as the view through the windshield and side window shifts, with buildings and a bright blue sky sliding past and then a green-and-tan structure and a window frame coming into view on the right. > Will you marry me, Marge? > You mean I'm gonna be a daddy? > I hope we'll always be together. > Together.

Later, at night, Lisa in her red dress walks across a fenced backyard, climbs the ladder nailed to a large tree, and reaches a wooden treehouse, where she peers out of the window holding a bowl with a spoon, under a full moon. > Here, Dad. > I brought you some nice... Good news, Lisa.

He keeps snipping with the shears, eyes wide, then smiles broadly while working. Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair and a pearl necklace, appears in a close-up beside the wall, wide-eyed and speechless with her mouth open. > I don't need your mother anymore. > I've created a replacement that's superior to her in almost every way. > Dad, that's just a plant. > Lisa, you will respect your new mother.

Homer grips the pot and then hugs it close while Lisa stands beside him, later reaching out with a small object in her hand on a rooftop under a dark blue sky. The final shot shows the pot tipped over at the base of a large tree with a plank ladder leading up to a treehouse, where two figures peer from the window and the plant lies on its side in the grass. > Now give her a kiss. > Kiss her! > Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Lisa, in her red dress and pearl necklace, sits beside him at right holding a bowl of pudding, which she later lifts toward him. Through a window behind them a night sky and a dark tree are visible. Homer's expression shifts from panic to a sheepish, pleading look as he turns toward her, and the bowl of pudding sits on the floor near Lisa. > Alright, let's get our story straight. > She tripped, right? > Look, I brought you some nice pudding. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1047505.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1051467 ## 17:36–17:46 Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset in a torn white shirt and blue pants tied with a rope, sits inside a wooden shack with log walls and a wooden beam overhead. He eats from a light blue bowl with a spoon, first looking to the side with a sour expression, then closing his eyes and eating eagerly with his mouth open. In the final moments he sits wide-eyed and anxious, gripping his knees with his hands while another hand holding a bowl appears at the right edge of the earlier frames. > Oh, your flesh mother used to bring me pudding. > Oh, I miss March. > Lisa, you're smart. Help me trick her into taking me back. > Dad, you can't trick somebody into loving you.

Lisa gestures with open arms, then steps sideways and turns her head, looking uneasy and wide-eyed, while Homer's face stays fixed in a worried expression. Behind them a dark tree, a blue bench and a wooden door with a small metal fixture are visible under a purple night sky. > There's a reason two people come together and stay together. > There's something they give each other that nobody else can give them. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1067525.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1069819 ## 17:53–18:04 Homer Simpson, bald with a stubble-like orange beard and a white shirt, and Lisa Simpson, with star-shaped spiky yellow hair, a red dress and a pearl necklace, stand against a wooden plank wall in a dim wooden interior. Homer stares wide-eyed and then turns slightly, while Lisa looks up and speaks with her mouth open, then grimaces with a nervous, strained expression as her eyes dart sideways. Homer's wide-eyed, mouth-open reaction stays fixed in the last frame, with a wooden beam and metal-studded planks visible at the edges of the room. > If you want to get Mom back, > you just have to remember what you give her that nobody else can. > I'll pay you $40 if you think of it for me. > No. > Okay. > 30. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1074198.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1078995 ## 18:04–18:17 Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants tied with rope, sits cross-legged on the floor of a wooden hut with a small bowl of white food beside him, while Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair in a red dress and pearl necklace, stands near the open doorway at first. Beyond the door the night sky shows dark trees and a bird-like silhouette. Homer shifts his posture and hunches forward, looking increasingly tense and grimacing, then the scene cuts to a tight close-up of Homer's head with wide, staring eyes and a few stray hairs, as he looks sideways in alarm. > Good luck, Dad. > All right, Brain. It's all up to you. > If you don't think of what it is, we'll lose Marge forever. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1085876.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1091299 ## 18:17–18:31 Homer sits barefoot on a porch at night, spooning cereal from a bowl while gazing ahead, then keeps eating as the dark sky and trees show through the window behind him. The scene cuts to Marge in a green dress and beehive, sitting motionless on a maroon couch in a pink room beside a red lamp, with a framed portrait of Lisa on the wall. A dark-haired man in a lavender suit stands at a pink arched front door holding a bouquet of colorful flowers, leaning in to sniff them. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1098806.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1104645 ## 18:31–18:42 Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a lavender suit and blue bow tie, stands in a doorway at night holding a bouquet of colorful flowers as he talks with Marge, who has her tall blue beehive, green dress and orange bead necklace. He starts with eyes half-closed and a smile, then grins nervously and speaks, and his eyes shift as he keeps offering the bouquet. Finally Marge reaches out and takes hold of the flowers while Moe leans in toward her, with a starry night sky, houses and a parked blue car visible outside. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1112570.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1117158 ## 18:42–18:46 Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and orange bead necklace, stands in front of a pink wall and dark blue curtain while holding a bouquet of colorful daisies. Her face shifts across the sequence: she starts with wide eyes and an open-mouthed smile, then narrows her eyes into a sly, smirking grin with teeth showing, softens into a closed-lip smile with half-lidded eyes, and ends with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed look. The flowers remain steady in her hands throughout. > I'm pretty flattered, but I'm not really interested. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1123831.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1124665 ## 18:46–18:55 Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a lavender suit and bow tie, stands in a doorway at night while Marge, with her tall blue beehive and a green dress with a beaded necklace, holds a bouquet of colorful flowers toward him. Moe's expression shifts from nervous and wide-eyed to downcast, and he gestures with his hands open, then crosses his arms over his chest and looks sheepish. Stars and a dark neighborhood with houses and a fence are visible behind them. > Jeez, I come here, I get dressed up all nice-like, put my heart on the line, > and I make a fool of myself. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1127793.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1130921 ## 18:55–19:03 Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a lavender suit and bow tie, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, stand in a lit doorway at night under a starry sky. Moe raises a hand to his head while Marge holds a bouquet of colorful flowers and watches him. He then speaks, covers his face with his hand and grimaces, while Marge looks on wide-eyed. In the final moment he has one hand on his hip and the other still at his face as Marge stares at him, holding the flowers. > Oh, boy. > I'm gonna start ballin' here. > Why don't you come inside for a drink of water? > Okay. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1136135.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1139263 ## 19:03–19:14 A one-off man with dark curly hair, a pale blue suit and a bow tie sits on a red sofa in a pink living room with lamps, a framed portrait and an arched doorway, then sits up, speaks and grins as he rests his hands on his knees. Homer, bald and heavyset in a grey work shirt and carrying a red bucket, appears in the open wooden door and looks toward him, after a brief opening view of the arched pink front door and small red side table outside the house. > Hmm, clean house. > No silverfish. > Could have been very happy here. > Homer. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1144685.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1149065 ## 19:14–19:23 Mr. Burns, the frail, thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits on a maroon couch in a lavender suit and bow tie, first with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed stare and then gesturing with his hands as he speaks, later raising his hands to his cheeks in distress. Nearby, Homer, the bald heavy man with stubble in a grey shirt, stands by a brown door with a pink knob and then closes his eyes, while two grey-haired figures with yellow flowers hover at the right edge of the pink room with an arched doorway and a corner cabinet of glasses. The pink walls, the maroon couch and the bouquet of yellow flowers are the notable objects. > Moe! > What are you doing here? > I, um, well, I never touched her. Homer, I swear I never touched her. > Here's your water, Moe. I don't ask you for no water. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1155738.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1159075 ## 19:23–19:34 Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, stands in a pink living room holding a glass of water while a shaggy-bearded man in a tattered grey shirt and torn shorts holds a bunch of flowers. A one-off man with dark curly hair and a pale blue suit lunges toward them with outstretched hands, then turns to face the bearded man and gestures pleadingly while Marge watches from behind the dark red sofa. The suited man disappears, leaving the sofa empty beside a vase of flowers on a wooden table, and the scene closes on a close-up of Marge looking worried beside the bearded man, who stares ahead. > She's lying, Homer. She's lying. She told me you were dead. > That's the only reason I... I didn't do nothing! > Bye, Moe. > Homer, what happened to you? Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1164497.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1169085 ## 19:34–19:47 Homer Simpson, wearing a torn grey shirt and ragged blue shorts tied with rope, stands in a pink living room with Marge Simpson, her tall blue beehive and orange bead necklace visible, in a green dress. Homer clutches a bundle of colorful flowers, and loose blooms are scattered across the floor near a piano and a fireplace. As he stands sheepishly before Marge, the scene moves to him standing beside a wooden table holding a vase of flowers, with framed family portraits on the mantel above. > Marge, I figured out what I can give you that no one else can. > A bouquet of poo! > Oh! Oh, I give up. > I don't deserve to live with you. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1175966.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1180971 ## 19:47–19:52 A blonde figure in dark clothing stands at the left edge beside a wooden table holding a light-blue vase of flowers next to a brick fireplace, then the view moves to an upstairs hallway with a staircase, framed pictures and a green rug. Homer, the bald man in a white shirt and blue shorts, bends over by the right wall holding an orange board, while a small dark-clothed figure stands near the arched door at the far end. Visible on-screen details include the pink walls, brown floorboards, and a potted plant on a small orange table. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1188270.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1189939 ## 19:52–20:03 Homer, bald and stubbled, wearing torn grey-and-navy rags tied with rope, stands in a pink room beside Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, near a wooden table with a window behind them. Homer grimaces and looks down while Marge looks on, then turns to speak, gesturing toward him. In the final moment, close-up hands in yellow tug at the dark blue rag snagged on the corner of the wooden coffee table's frame. > Oh, my tattered rags are caught on your coffee table. > Here, let me help you. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1193901.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1198280 ## 20:03–20:16 Homer and Marge are in a pink hallway near an open wooden front door. Homer, bald and stubbled, wears a torn grey top and ragged dark loincloth tied with rope, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive, wears a strapless green dress and an orange bead necklace. Homer stands barefoot on a green doormat, glances around, and turns toward the doorway with his arms crossed, then drops to his knees on the floor and grins and winces while Marge watches. A red stool, a small oval mirror on the wall, and an arched doorway with a view of a dark outdoor street are visible. > Wait a minute. > Wait, that's it? > I know now what I can offer you that no one else can. > Complete and utter dependence. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1204954.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1210376 ## 20:16–20:19 Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and orange bead necklace, stands in close-up against a pink wall beside a doorway and a wall lamp at the right edge. Her eyes dart sideways and her mouth opens to speak, then she clenches her teeth in a worried grimace, with her wide eyes shifting nervously as she looks off to the side. > Homer, that's not a good thing. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1217883.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1217883 ## 20:19–20:32 Homer, bald with stubble and wearing a torn grey shirt and a blue loincloth tied with rope, kneels on a green mat in a pink-walled room and clasps and gestures with his hands while looking up with wide eyes. Marge, with her tall blue beehive and a green dress with an orange bead necklace, stands with her back to the viewer, facing him. Across the frames Homer's hands move from raised and clasped together to clasped near his chest, then he spreads his arms out to the sides, and his expression shifts from a grin to a pleading, wincing look. A small red side table and a wall outlet sit in the background beside a window. > Are you kidding? > It's a wondrous, marvelous thing. > Marge, > I need you more than anyone else on this entire planet could possibly ever need you. > I need you to take care of me, to put up with me. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1220177.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1225599 ## 20:32–20:41 Homer Simpson, bald and stubbled, wearing a torn grey shirt, stands in the foreground clenching his fists and gazing sideways at Marge Simpson, who has a tall blue beehive and wears a strapless green dress with a red bead necklace, standing in a pink hallway beside a wall-mounted pacifier-shaped light. In the first two images Homer, in front of a house and a blue street, flexes both fists and grimaces with his mouth open, then sets his mouth flat. In the later images he turns toward Marge in the hallway, which has a red telephone table nearby, while Marge's expression shifts from a steady, wary look to a wide-eyed, grinning stare. > And most of all, I need you to love me, because I love you. > But how do I know I can trust you? > Marge, look at me. We've been separated for a day, and I'm as dirty as a Frenchman.

In the first frame he holds his arms out to the side with a pleading look, and he continues to gesture and speak in the next frame with his mouth open. He then clasps his hands together at his chest, looking worried and tense, and in the final frame he holds his clasped hands in front of his body with his eyes glancing upward, while a blue-tiled area and a small green rug lie beside him. > In another few hours, I'll be dead. > I can't afford to lose your trust again. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1242074.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1246245 ## 20:51–21:00 Homer Simpson, bald and stubbled in a grey shirt, and Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress with red beads, stand in a pink hallway beside a pacifier-shaped wall light. Homer glances around uneasily while Marge looks sideways with a pursed mouth, and then a yellow arm enters from the right to grip Homer's shoulder as he looks toward it. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1252710.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1256255 ## 21:00–21:12 Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a torn grey shirt and dark blue pants tied with rope, and Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress with a red bead necklace, stand together in a pink room beside an oval mirror in a wooden frame. Marge hugs Homer from behind and then from the side, and they hold each other close, with Homer smiling broadly and Marge grinning with her eyes closed at first. In the final moment Marge pulls back slightly and rests her hands on Homer's belly while he talks with an open mouth, and she looks sideways with a wary, unimpressed expression. > I must admit, you really do make a gal feel needed. > Wait till my class hears about this. > Kidding! Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1261886.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1266474 ## 21:12–21:23 Marge, Lisa, Maggie, Homer and Bart sit around the blue-clothed kitchen table in the Simpson kitchen with its green refrigerator and checkered floor. At first Homer sits with his arms crossed while Marge, Maggie and Bart watch him, and then Lisa hugs him as he leans back in his chair with a smile. Lisa then steps up to Homer's side, rests her hand on his belly, and looks up at him, while Homer stands beside her with his arms folded and a sideways glance. A red handprint-decorated card or drawing hangs on the cabinet beside them, and a heart-shaped note is pinned to the fridge. > Oh, it's great to be indoors with my family. > I'm really glad you're back, Dad. Dad, I knew you could do it. > But I'd screw it up. > Look, Dad, I missed you so much I couldn't concentrate in school and I got an F.

Homer, the bald, stubble-faced man in a white shirt, sits at a desk beside a green wall with a heart-shaped note and a wall calendar, first staring at the paper Bart holds out, then taking a different sheet of writing from Bart and studying it while Bart watches him. Notable objects include the F-graded paper, the mismatched sheets of writing, and the heart note on the wall. > Hey, this is dated two weeks ago. > Oh, sorry. Here's a fresh one. And I have a special present for you. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1285034.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1288162 ## 21:32–21:39 Marge, with her tall blue beehive and brown beaded necklace, and Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt, stand in a kitchen-like room beside Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, who watches on the right. Marge reaches toward Homer's shoulder and leans in close with a sly, grinning look while Homer glances sideways with heavy-lidded eyes. Marge then pulls back and widens her eyes while Homer's eyes bulge in alarm, and Homer raises his fists and speaks with his mouth open while Bart stares wide-eyed. Behind them are a green cabinet, a small framed heart on the wall, and a tall pipe-like fixture near the sink. > But I'll give it to you later tonight. > Special present? I don't want to wait! I want it now! Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1293375.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1296086 ## 21:39–21:47 Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset in a white shirt, stands in a kitchen-like room between Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green top with a beaded necklace, on the left, and Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, on the right. Homer grimaces and gestures with both hands, then folds his arms and looks sideways while Marge and Bart watch him. In the final part he opens his mouth in a wide grin and shifts his gaze, while Marge keeps a steady look toward him. Behind them are a green cabinet with a red heart-shaped decoration and a corkboard with pinned papers on the left. > I want the children to see! > Oh, right. > Later. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1300883.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1303594 ## 21:47–21:50 Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, is washing a plate at the kitchen sink while Moe, the grey-haired bartender, peers in through the window and gestures with both hands. Marge turns toward the window, startled, with a hand raised to her chest as Moe keeps talking and gesturing. Homer then steps up beside her in his white shirt, puts a hand on her shoulder, and smiles as green plates and glasses sit in the drying rack by the sink. > So, Margie, you really happy? Really? > Hey, Mo. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S05E22/1308390.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s05e22-secrets-of-a-successful-marriage/1309016 ## 21:50–22:01 Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace in a green dress, and Homer, bald in a white shirt and blue pants, stand together at the kitchen sink while Homer leans in and hugs her from behind as she looks up, with a corn-patterned curtain and a green stove nearby.

BROOKS, MATT GROENING, SAM SIMON', and finally 'Starring DAN CASTELLANETA'.

The on-screen credits succeed one another in order: Nancy Cartwright, then Yeardley Smith, then 'and Harry Shearer', then 'Special Guest Voice Marcia Wallace', and finally 'Animation Executive Producer Phil Roman'.

A blue beam of light sweeps across the screen and the words GRACIE FILMS appear, then the picture fades to black with IN ASSOCIATION WITH in white letters, followed by a golden 20th Television building rising under searchlight beams against a sky.
