- 0:37 Wet cement.
- 0:39 Is there any sweeter sign?
- 0:41 Well, maybe high voltage.
- 0:47 Hello, son.
- 0:48 You want to try this flying motorcycle I just invented?
- 0:51 No time.
- 0:52 Okay.
- 0:56 This is for the ages.
- 1:01 Like Stonehenge, this site will forever be a mystery.
- 1:04 Who was Bart?
- 1:06 And how did he manage to write his name in solid cement?
- 1:09 He must have been much smarter than his sister Lisa, about whom we know nothing.
- 1:13 Say, let's bring him back to life by using technology.
- 1:17 Ay, caramba!
- 1:22 Ooh!
- 1:24 Ah!
- 1:26 What's normal to him amazes us. He will be our new god.
- 1:36 Oh, good, somebody's shadow. I'll just turn and brag about my work.
- 1:40 Bye.
- 1:41 Bart, you've graffito-tagged public property.
- 1:44 It was an accident.
- 1:46 I can't believe you vandalized your own hometown, Bart.
- 1:49 What would Jebediah Springfield say? I think he'd be cool with it.
- 1:53 Oh, Homer, will you please help me make a big deal of this?
- 1:56 What for? Nobody cared when Bogart to face that sidewalk in Hollywood.
- 2:00 Well, I'm just shocked by this whole family.
- 2:03 Whatever happened to good old-fashioned town pride?
- 2:06 It's been going downhill ever since the lake caught fire.
- 2:08 Now, just a darn minute. This town is a part of who you are.
- 2:13 This is a Springfield isotopes cap.
- 2:16 When you wear it, you're wearing Springfield.
- 2:19 When you eat a fish from our river, you're eating Springfield.
- 2:23 When you make lemonade from our trees, you're drinking Springfield.
- 2:28 Mom, when you give that lecture, you're boring Springfield.
- 2:32 Bart, you have roots in this town and you ought to show respect for it.
- 2:35 This town is a part of us all. A part of us all.
- 2:38 A part of us all.
- 2:39 Sorry to repeat myself, but it'll help you remember.
- 2:43 This town is a part of us all. A part of us all.
- 2:47 A part of us all.
- 2:48 Wow, that does work.
- 2:53 Hey, gonna win some this season? Gonna try.
- 3:03 When it comes to catching trout, nothing beats the German light infantry.
- 3:08 Beautiful, aren't they?
- 3:09 Yep.
- 3:10 I'm gonna hook them at cars.
- 3:18 Hey, Milhouse, how's the lemonade business?
- 3:20 It's clearly booming, Bart.
- 3:24 I don't even want any.
- 3:26 I just bought a pitty glass.
- 3:27 We've squozing our whole supply! To the lemon tree!
- 3:42 There she grows.
- 3:47 You know, Millhouse, I've been thinking.
- 3:50 This town ain't so bad. Good friends, lots of lemons, numerous angel sightings.
- 3:55 When you get right down to it, Springfield's a pretty cool place to live.
- 4:00 Springfield sucks!
- 4:02 Hey, stop talking bad about my town, man.
- 4:05 Why don't you make me? I don't make trash.
- 4:07 I burn it. Then I guess you're a garbage man.
- 4:10 Well, I know you are, but what am I? A garbage man.
- 4:12 Oh, I know you are, but what am I? A garbage man.
- 4:15 I know you are, but what am I? A garbage man.
- 4:18 Takes one to know one.
- 4:20 Chuck Nate!
- 4:22 Hey kid,
- 4:22 stop wearing your backpack over one shoulder We invented that Copycat Uh,
- 4:28 you copied us Step over this line and say that I'll kick your butt Mad Nintendo
- 4:34 I just put a rock in your crummy town That's a crud rock, it belongs in crud town
- 4:44 Look at the weak little baby You're stupid You stupid,
- 4:49 weak baby Come on, let's get out of here Hey,
- 4:52 they're taking our lemons We can't spare a single one
- 4:59 You just got citric acid in my eye You'll pay for that,
- 5:05 Springfield Ah,
- 5:08 some things never change Hey, everybody, an old man's talking
- 5:16 Grandpa's the name Did you know this tree dates back to frontier
- 5:21 times?
- 5:24 Shut up!
- 5:26 It all began when Jebediah Springfield first came to these lands with his
- 5:31 partner, Shelbyville Manhattan.
- 5:40 People, our search is over. On this site,
- 5:43 we shall build a new town where we can worship freely, govern justly,
- 5:47 and grow vast fields of hemp for making rope and blankets.
- 5:51 Yes, and marry our cousins.
- 5:53 I was... What are you talking about, Shelbyville?
- 5:56 Why would we want to marry our cousins?
- 5:58 Because they're so attractive.
- 6:00 I thought that was the whole point of this journey.
- 6:02 Absolutely not.
- 6:03 I tell you, I won't live in a town that robs men of the right to marry their cousins.
- 6:08 Well, then we'll form our own town.
- 6:10 who will come and live a life devoted to chastity, abstinence,
- 6:15 and a flavorless mush I call root marm.
- 6:27 The town of Springfield was born on that day.
- 6:31 And to mark that sweet moment, our people planted this lemon tree.
- 6:36 Lemons being the sweetest fruit available at the time.
- 6:44 Those showy little kids think they're so hot, but you know what?
- 6:47 They're not.
- 6:48 I really agree with you on this one, Bart.
- 6:50 Class, please.
- 6:51 If you don't learn Roman numerals,
- 6:53 you'll never know the dates certain motion pictures were copyrighted.
- 6:56 Everybody come quick! Something's happened!
- 6:58 No time to explain!
- 6:59 No, children, no.
- 7:01 Your education is important.
- 7:03 Roman numerals, etc.
- 7:05 Whatever.
- 7:06 I tried.
- 7:10 Are you sure it wouldn't be faster to just tell us what happened?
- 7:14 No!
- 7:14 I said there's no time to explain, and I stick by that!
- 7:20 The lemon tree's gone!
- 7:22 And the tracks appear to lead into Shelbyville!
- 7:25 Oh, look, a clue, a candy bar wrapper.
- 7:28 Oh, they're always eating candy in Shelbyville.
- 7:31 They love the sweet taste. We gotta get that tree back.
- 7:35 Ah, you mean going to Shelbyville?
- 7:37 We'll never make it out alive. That lemon tree is a part of our town, and his kids,
- 7:42 the backbone of our economy.
- 7:44 We'll get it back or choke their rivers with our dead.
- 7:50 Where are you going, Bart? Mom, you won't believe this,
- 7:53 but something you said the other day really got through to me.
- 7:56 And now, I am going to teach some kids a lesson.
- 8:01 I choose to take that literally.
- 8:03 Death to Shelbyville!
- 8:05 Yes, Bart's a tutor now.
- 8:07 Two times, son!
- 8:09 Two turn!
- 8:14 Hey, new house! Get your invasion supplies and let's go!
- 8:27 Where'd it go? Over here, my friends!
- 8:31 Or is it over here?
- 8:37 Yeah.
- 8:40 Okay, here's how it goes. I'm a leader. Milhouse is my loyal sidekick.
- 8:44 Nelson's a tough guy.
- 8:45 Martin's a smart guy. And Todd's the quiet religious guy who ends up going crazy.
- 8:48 And now, the time has come to cross this line into mystery and danger.
- 8:54 To step out of childhood and become men.
- 9:04 Wow!
- 9:10 If you get lost, remember,
- 9:12 you can always find East by staring directly at the sun.
- 9:17 Here's a tip.
- 9:18 Put a pinch of sage in your boots, and all day long a spicy scent is your reward.
- 9:25 Oh, my gosh. Look. The fire hydrants here are yellow.
- 9:30 This place is starting to freak me out.
- 9:32 Danger coming.
- 9:34 Behind us.
- 9:37 What is it, boy? Is there something behind that wall we should beat up?
- 9:41 No time to check it out now.
- 9:42 We've got lemonade to sell.
- 9:47 Radical.
- 9:49 They're getting rich off us. And that kid with the backpack said radical.
- 9:53 I say radical.
- 9:55 That's my thing that I say.
- 9:57 I feel like I'm gonna explode here.
- 10:02 It's almost lunchtime. Do you know where your brother is tutoring?
- 10:06 Tutoring? The only thing Bart's teaching is guerrilla combat in Shelbyville.
- 10:10 Well, do you have a number where we can reach him?
- 10:12 No, Mom, Bart and some kids ran off to wage war on Shelbyville.
- 10:18 Homer, come quick! Bart's quit his tutoring job and joined a violence gang!
- 10:24 Ah, the thrill has become indistinct.
- 10:27 I suggest we split up to cover more ground.
- 10:30 Good idea. Millhouse, you and me will be Omega Team.
- 10:33 Todd, you and Data are Team Strike Force.
- 10:36 Nelson, that leaves you and Martin. Team Discovery Channel!
- 10:41 Your wussiness better come in handy.
- 10:50 Okay, folks, look. I called the police captain in Shelbyville.
- 10:54 He says he hasn't seen our kids.
- 10:55 But if they show up in the morgue, he's gonna fax us.
- 10:58 Oh, man, I hate those Shelbyville jerks.
- 11:00 Honey, I was born in Shelbyville. And it tears me up inside.
- 11:04 This is my fault. I tried to teach Bart about town pride,
- 11:08 but the power of my words filled him with a sort of madness.
- 11:11 Now, Marge, you can't blame all of Bart's problems on your one little speech.
- 11:17 If anything turned him bad,
- 11:18 it's that time you let him wear a bathing suit instead of underwear.
- 11:22 And let's not forget your little speech.
- 11:25 Isn't there anything we can do?
- 11:27 Yes, there is.
- 11:28 Come on, everybody. Let's go into Shelbyville and get those kids back ourselves.
- 11:33 I got an RV we can use.
- 11:36 Flanders!
- 11:36 Yeah!
- 11:37 Yeah, let's do it!
- 11:38 Okay, but, you know, just go a little bit easy on me.
- 11:41 All right, everybody! No time to wipe your feet!
- 11:48 Okay, Piglet, start squealing! Where'd you get the lemons for this lemonade?
- 11:52 This is country time lemonade mix.
- 11:55 There's never been anything close to a lemon in it, I swear!
- 11:58 Hey!
- 11:59 Nobody hassles my little brother.
- 12:01 Hey! And no one man handles the bosom chum of Nelson Muntz!
- 12:05 Spring forth, Burly Protector, and save me!
- 12:13 Aw, jeez. I never hang out with him, normally.
- 12:19 Hark to the tail of Nelson and the boy he loved so dear.
- 12:23 They remain the best of friends for years and years and years.
- 12:27 What are they saying?
- 12:28 I'm not sure. I thought you said you could read lips.
- 12:31 I assumed I could. That's no use, Mule House.
- 12:34 If we're gonna find that lemon tree, I've got to go undercover.
- 12:37 What I need is a new face. You leave that to the Baron and me.
- 12:45 Hello there, fellow Shelbyvillians.
- 12:47 Wait a minute.
- 12:49 If you're from Shelbyville, how come we've never seen you at school?
- 12:53 I don't go to school.
- 12:54 Okay.
- 12:55 What's two plus two?
- 12:56 Five.
- 12:57 Star checks out.
- 12:59 We just got word there's Springfield kids in town!
- 13:03 Curse those handsome devils.
- 13:05 We're going up to the Bluffs to paint Springfield sucks in huge letters.
- 13:09 That way, whenever they look into Shelbyville, they will realize that they suck.
- 13:13 Oh, radical.
- 13:14 Quit copying me.
- 13:16 You know, I wish there was a Springfield kid here right now.
- 13:21 I'd fill his mouth with stink bugs.
- 13:23 No, not in my mouth.
- 13:25 Is what the kid would say.
- 13:28 To the Bluffs.
- 13:31 Well, it's friendly Springfield. Hello there, neighbors.
- 13:34 You know, we think some kids of ours may be missing in your town.
- 13:38 Missing, children.
- 13:39 Sounds like Springfield's got a discipline problem.
- 13:42 Maybe that's why we beat him at football nearly half the time, huh?
- 13:48 Quit stalling, kid. Write Springfield sucks in giant letters.
- 13:52 Oh.
- 14:00 His can control is excellent.
- 14:03 Yes, and that wig makes him look a lot like one of the Beatles.
- 14:10 That's right.
- 14:11 The stranger who walks amongst you is me, Bart Simpson.
- 14:15 You know Bart Simpson.
- 14:19 From Springfield? He's from Springfield.
- 14:22 Get him!
- 14:35 I'll use these spray cans as jetpacks and fly to safety.
- 14:38 So long, losers!
- 14:45 You're dead!
- 14:46 Uh, hey, look! Someone's attractive cousin!
- 14:51 I don't see anybody. Ha ha ha!
- 14:57 So, he thinks he can out-skateboard me, huh?
- 15:00 Launch me, boys!
- 15:27 Slow down your sidewalk surfing, you glimmers!
- 15:36 Uh-oh.
- 15:38 That's cement.
- 15:45 I could sure use that flying motorcycle now.
- 15:48 You had your chance. We'll hyven!
- 16:01 Safe at last.
- 16:10 Caution. Exit through door seven only.
- 16:13 All other rooms contain... Man, even tigers!
- 16:19 Roman numerals. They never even tried to teach us that in school.
- 16:24 Millhouse, what's that that enroll the numerals?
- 16:26 I'll tell you,
- 16:27 Bart But you really should end each transmission with the word over Over Correction,
- 16:33 the only thing that's over is that transmission
- 16:36 Is this the untimely end of Millhouse?
- 16:40 But Millhouse is my name But I thought I was the only one A pain I know all
- 16:45 too well So this is what it feels like when doves cry
- 16:52 Millhouse, Millhouse, now what do I do?
- 16:56 Wait, I got it, I got it!
- 16:59 I don't got it.
- 17:00 Okay, think, Bart.
- 17:02 Where have you seen Roman numerals before?
- 17:04 I know, Rocky V.
- 17:06 That was the fifth one. So,
- 17:08 Rocky V plus Rocky II equals Rocky VII, Adrian's Revenge!
- 17:15 Come back here!
- 17:19 Oh, it's no use.
- 17:21 I'm never going to find that tree.
- 17:23 This whole raid was as useless as that yellow lemon-shaped rock over there.
- 17:28 Wait a minute.
- 17:29 There's a lemon behind that rock.
- 17:33 The tree!
- 17:37 Oh.
- 17:45 Oh, a car impound lot.
- 17:48 the impenetrable fortress of suburbia.
- 17:51 We'll never get the tree back now.
- 17:54 Keep your voices down, boys. We didn't come this far to get found out.
- 17:56 Found them! You kids are in big trouble, running away from home like this.
- 18:01 But they stole our lemon tree.
- 18:03 I don't care what excuse you've got.
- 18:05 Nothing's gonna stop me in the middle of this speech.
- 18:08 You're gonna... Lemon tree?
- 18:12 That tree's been in Springfield since the time of our forefathers.
- 18:15 Give it back or I will bust in there and take it.
- 18:19 Bust in here and take it? You must be stupider than you look.
- 18:23 Stupider like a fox!
- 18:32 I'm okay.
- 18:38 Don't you get it, Springfield? It's over.
- 18:40 You lose.
- 18:41 Now, if you'll excuse me, all this talk has made me hungry.
- 18:52 This is the darkest day in the history of Springfield.
- 18:55 If anybody wants me, I'll be in the shower.
- 18:58 There's got to be a way to get that tree back.
- 19:02 Hey, look! A hospital!
- 19:04 Pull in there!
- 19:07 Oh, great! Now I'm upside down!
- 19:15 Some thoughtless human being is parked in a hospital zone.
- 19:20 And I think to myself... What a wonderful world!
- 19:34 Hehehehe.
- 19:35 No one in history has ever done anything this clever.
- 19:42 I'll get the gate.
- 19:48 That's okay, son.
- 19:50 I'll take care of him.
- 19:54 Faster, son! He's got a taste for meat now!
- 20:05 Get out here, son.
- 20:07 There's a doings a-transpiring. Let's shut the gate and seal him in.
- 20:11 Got it, Flanders.
- 20:14 It won't start. Something's draining the battery.
- 20:18 Sorry.
- 20:25 We made it!
- 20:26 Yeah!
- 20:28 Eat my shirts, Shelbyville! Eat my shirts!
- 20:33 Yes, eat all of our shirts!
- 20:35 Oh, you lousy Springfielder! You shake harder, boy!
- 20:51 And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Springfield.
- 20:56 They had brought the sacred tree back to its native soil,
- 20:59 and old Flanders was stuck with the impound fee.
- 21:03 He could easily afford it. More lemonade, Bart?
- 21:08 Absolutely.
- 21:10 Say when.
- 21:13 There are over 14 parts of the lemon that are...
- 21:16 And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Shelbyville.
- 21:20 They had banished the awful lemon tree forever because it was haunted.
- 21:25 Now let's all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice.
- 22:25 Shh.
