No characters appear in this opening title sequence, which shows only drifting cartoon clouds against a blue sky. The scene starts from black, then clouds slide across the sky in successive views, and the orange title text 'THE SIMPSONS' appears among the clouds, growing larger as the clouds keep moving past it. The title text is the only on-screen lettering.

No characters appear in this moment. It opens on a cartoon view of Springfield, with a nuclear power plant whose twin cooling towers bear atom symbols and whose sign reads "Welcome to Springfield Nuclear Power Plant," then pans across the town's brick buildings, hills and farmland to Springfield Elementary School, whose double doors sit under a sign reading "Springfield Elementary School." The scene then wipes to a blank orange and blue panel with a small colorful element at its right edge.

Bart Simpson, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt and blue shorts, writes "THE TRUTH IS NOT OUT THERE" over and over on a classroom chalkboard, with the lines running down and the last one trailing off into "THE TRUTH IS NOT." He then turns away from the board, stands by the red trash can, and dashes off with his arms outstretched. The scene ends with Bart riding a green skateboard past a tall building and hedges on a sidewalk, arms spread wide.

Homer, in a yellow protective suit and helmet, holds a glowing green tube at a red counter beside a sign reading CAUTION, then raises his arm toward a switch while Mr. Burns and Smithers watch from behind the console. The scene shifts to a supermarket checkout where Maggie, with a pacifier, reads a magazine titled MOM with Frosted Krusty Layers on its cover while Marge's blue beehive appears at the edge, and the empty lane shows blue registers with CHECKS signs and a number 5 sign above. Finally Maggie sits in a shopping cart with a pacifier and wide eyes as Marge, eyes closed and smiling in a green dress and red beads, raises a hand beside her.

Lisa Simpson, in her red dress, plays a lilac horn beside a row of purple-clad girls and other band members in a school music room with a bust of a composer on a cabinet. A bald, heavyset older man in an orange sweater and bow tie scowls and gestures at sheet music on a stand while the band plays. Lisa then walks down an orange hallway lined with posters, carrying her horn, and Homer Simpson, bald and heavy with a white shirt, scowls and grips the wheel of a pink car.

Bart Simpson rides a yellow skateboard along a sidewalk in front of a purple building with a green-paned door, arms spread wide, while a heavy man in a pink shirt and blue jeans stands by a storefront with Krusty faces on TV screens and scattered bottles on the pavement. Mrs. Krabappel, with her tall brown hairdo, purple sweater and green bag, walks past with a small child near her legs, and an orange car drives down the street toward a pink building with a statue. Maggie, with her blue bow and pacifier, looks wide-eyed in a close-up against a purple background as a white smoke cloud drifts across the scene.

Maggie, a baby with a pacifier and blue bow, sits in a car seat holding a steering wheel while Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red beads, drives a pink car down a hillside road past green bushes and a house. Bart in an orange shirt stands cheering with raised arms on a brick wall beside a driveway, the pink car rolls toward a garage, and Lisa, with star-shaped spiky hair, rides a red bike past Homer, a bald, heavy man in a white shirt who leans over the pink car's open hood. The scene then cuts to an indoor purple bedroom with a red bed, where Homer, mouth open and arm outstretched, holds a cup with a straw and looks toward a brown door.

> Whoo!
> Que Go!

## 1:08–1:19

Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart sit side by side on a brown couch in a pink living room, Homer on the left in a white shirt and blue jeans, Marge in the middle with her tall blue beehive, and Lisa and Bart on the right, with Bart in an orange shirt. In the first moment they are bouncing up and down on the couch, then they settle still and watch the television in front of them, where Marge's hair flies up toward the lamp, and a flaming burst of light shoots from the lamp's shade. The television, set on a white stand with a purple lamp and a telephone on a small table at left, then shows the on-screen credits: first 'CREATED BY MATT GROENING', followed by 'DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS, MATT GROENING, SAM SIMON', which stays on screen to the end.

## 1:19–1:29

A dark-haired, thin-faced man in a tan jacket over a black turtleneck sits at a desk in a dim study lined with bookshelves, his hands clasped in front of him. He shifts from a closed-mouth, faintly smiling expression to a broader smile while looking toward the viewer, with a skull, an open book and a lit three-branch candelabra on the desk beside him. The scene opens from black and fades in, with the spotlit figure at the center.

> Hello, I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true.

## 1:29–1:39

A thin, dark-haired man in a tan jacket over a dark green turtleneck sits in a red leather armchair behind a desk, hands clasped, under a spotlight in a room lined with bookshelves. A skull and an open book lie on the left of the desk, and a lit candelabra stands on the right. Over the moment he keeps his hands clasped and his head slightly turned, his expression shifting between a pursed, sly look and a wry grimace while he sits and talks, and he drifts a little rightward so the candelabra partly slips out of the frame at the edge. Not a regular in the cast, so no name is given.

> And by true, I mean false.
> It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies.

## 1:39–1:48

A thin, dark-haired man in a tan jacket and dark green turtleneck sits behind a desk in a book-lined study, lit by a spotlight, with his hands clasped at first. He reaches to the left, pulls a large book toward himself, and opens it on the desk, glancing down at its pages. Shelves of colorful books fill the background, and a small lamp glows at the right edge.

> And in the end, isn't that the real truth?
> The answer is no.
> Our story begins on a Friday morning in a little town called Springfield.

## 1:48–1:56

Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a white shirt, first appears drawn in a storybook panel, pumping his fists and shouting beside a book page reading "Our story begins on a Friday morning." Then he dances with raised fists in a factory-like room, where Lenny, with long spiky black hair and a green sweater, and Carl, a Black man in a grey sweater, stand by a green control wall. Homer points at a green panel while they watch, and in the final moment he has moved out of view, leaving Lenny and Carl by the machinery under the caption "Co-Executive Producer George Meyer."

> T-G-I-F, guys, I'm off to Moe's. But Homer, it's 10 in the morning.
> Don't worry. I have a plan.

## 1:56–2:09

Homer Simpson, the bald heavy man in a white shirt, stands in a control room with banks of dials and switches, flanked by a brown-haired man in a green sweater with purple suspenders on the left and a Black man in a grey sweater on the right. Homer first gestures with one hand raised beside his face, then turns to speak with a raised finger, then pulls his hands up with fingers crossed and mouth open in surprise, and finally stands with one hand to his chin and arms folded. On-screen captions in the first frame and the second through fourth frames name the supervising producers and co-producers, including Mike Scully, Steve Tompkins, David S. Cohen and Brent Forrester.

> I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city,
> keeping its speed over 50. And if its speed dropped, it would explode.
> I think it was called... The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.

## 2:09–2:21

Homer Simpson stands in a control room with Lenny, who has spiky black hair and wears a green sweater with suspenders, and Carl, a Black man in a light grey jacket. Homer gestures with his hands, then grins as he sets a VCR on the console and later lifts it up while holding a videotape. White on-screen credits name consulting producers David M. Stern, David Mirkin, Ian Maxtone-Graham and John Swartzwelder, plus J. Michael Mendel as producer, over banks of dials and a monitor.

> First, I hook this common VCR into the security camera system like so.
> Then I insert this old videotape of us working on a continuous loop.

## 2:21–2:32

Homer, a bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, stands on a round platform at a control console with a thumbs-up, flanked by a man in a green sweater with purple suspenders and Carl, a Black man in a grey sweater, while a yellow hand pushes a tape labeled "...CE TAPE" into a purple machine beneath the credit "Produced by Richard Raynis." Later, a thin, stooped man with a tall dark hairdo and a pink suit holds a cup and leans toward a blue-haired man in a "SIT ON IT" t-shirt who is slumped on the console, as an Afro-haired man in a vest joins them. The slumped man then falls back across the console, and the Afro-haired man stands nearby touching his face.

## 2:32–2:42

Smithers, the thin assistant in glasses and a green sweater holding a clipboard, stands with Mr. Burns, the frail, hook-nosed old man with grey hair at the sides, who sits in a red chair in a monitoring room. A bank of wall screens shows a control room where a tall-haired man in a pale pajama-style suit holding a drink, a blue-haired man in a "SIT ON IT" shirt, and an afro-haired man in a vest are gathered around a curved console. The pajama-suited man points as the blue-haired man slumps across the console while the afro-haired man gestures, and the white on-screen caption "Produced by DAVID SILVERMAN" appears over the scene.

> So, another Friday is upon us. What'll you be doing, Smithers?

## 2:42–2:56

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits in a tall red armchair with his fingers steepled, grinning, while Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses, a pink bow tie and a green jacket, stands beside him holding a brown clipboard. Behind them a bank of wall-mounted monitors shows control-room scenes, and the bookshelves are lined with colorful volumes. Over the frames, white credit text appears in turn: 'Produced by RICHARD SAKAI', then 'Written by REID HARRISON', then 'Directed by STEVEN DEAN MOORE'. Smithers talks and gestures in the later frames, while Burns rubs his hands together and smiles, and the final frame shows Smithers alone in front of the shelves, grinning with an ID badge clipped to his jacket.

> Something gay, no doubt. What?
> You know, light-hearted, fancy-free.
> Mothers, lock up your daughters.
> Smithers is on the town.
> Exactly, sir.
> Thank God it's Wednesday.

## 2:56–3:07

An elderly bald man with a white beard in a green sweater and grey vest and an elderly woman with lavender curly hair in a blue dress sit at a round table holding small glasses, with a pink vase holding a single red rose in front of them. The man raises his glass and they clink or toast, then the woman lifts hers to meet his, and a shaggy white creature with a green robe and tall tufted ears sits down at the table, lifting a glass as the woman gestures and looks sideways. Potted plants, a framed landscape painting, and an elderly white-haired person in an orange sweater near a doorway fill the room.

> It's Friday.
> Uh-oh.
> Wrong pills.
> Uh... little help?

A bald, mustached man in a pink shirt and purple tie, who isn't a regular, stands on a sidewalk beside a cigar-smoking gorilla seated on a purple platform ringed with barrels and red-white-blue targets. Beneath a Noiseland Arcade sign, a banner reads 'Friday Meet Donkey Kong In Person' with balloons nearby. The man steps out from the platform's side, then is shown lying face-down on the pavement with his arms outstretched and his mouth open.

> Sorry, Donkey Kong.
> You're just not a draw anymore.
> Hey, he's still got it.

## 3:20–3:34

Milhouse, with blue hair and red glasses, stands in an arcade holding a stack of quarters, while a figure in a purple beanie and black shirt stands at a machine behind him. The cabinet's marquee reads "Kevin Costner's Waterworld" and its screen shows "Please deposit 40 quarters" above a island city, and a pair of hands on the controls presses START as the long-haired, bearded man on the game's wooden dock shifts his stance and turns slightly beside tents and water.

> 38, 39, 40 quarters.
> This better be good.
> Game over. Please deposit 40 quarters.

## 3:34–3:40

Milhouse, with blue hair, red-rimmed glasses and a blue cap, stands in an arcade in a pink shirt and red shorts, first gesturing and talking, then turning toward an arcade cabinet and holding a handful of coins. He looks down at the coins in his hands, then leans forward toward the machine as the coins stay cupped in his hands. Behind him, a figure in a purple knit hat and black shirt stands at another cabinet, a green sign reads partly "ALOEN", and a machine marked "TERMINATOR" is visible.

> What a rip!
> Thank God it's Friday.

## 3:40–3:51

Carl, a heavy Black man in a blue cardigan, purple tie and purple cap, stands in a hallway beside a coat rack, tips his cap, and then presses a call button on the wall next to a door. Down the corridor, a yellow-skinned man with round glasses stands behind a glowing X-ray of a skeleton in a room marked 'X-RAY ROOM,' and the moment ends on the Simpsons' house at night under a purple sky, with a pink front door, pink garage door, lit windows and a mailbox at the curb.

> Hello?

## 3:51–3:55

Only a disembodied yellow cartoon hand is visible, entering from the right to hold up a magazine titled "Better Homes than yours" (U.S. $3.27) against a blue background scattered with litter, including a crushed red can, popcorn kernels, and a crumpled paper. The magazine cover shows a lavender living room with a rose bouquet on a wooden coffee table, a lamp, a framed painting, a chandelier, and a staircase. Before the hand appears, the scene holds still on that same living room, with the purple sofa and armchair, the lamp, and the flowers unchanged, and then the hand lifts the magazine into view.

## 3:55–4:05

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, carries a stack of books through the cluttered pink living room while Snowball II, the black cat, stands near the sofa and Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, gnaws at objects on the floor. Marge points at the dog and raises a finger, then points at the torn green armchair spilling stuffing, with a lamp, a brown table, and scattered papers and cans around the room.

> Bad dog.
> Bad cat.
> Bad fawn.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, holds a magazine in the pink room at first, then appears at the far doorway behind the couch, gesturing with one hand. Lisa, in her red dress with star-shaped hair, sits on the rug beside Bart, who lies on his stomach propped on his elbows in his orange shirt, while a glass of milk and scattered papers sit on the rug. Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, leaps over the back couch, and Lisa then throws both arms up in a cheer while Bart keeps watching.

> Shoo, shoo. All right, it's time for ABC's TGIF lineup.

Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair and a pearl necklace, sits upright on a colorful rug while Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, lies on his stomach beside her, first with his chin resting in his hands and then with his arms folded as he grimaces and glares. Lisa's smile fades to a serious, sidelong look as Bart's expression sours. A glass of milk, a stack of dark round cookies and a pair of keys sit on the rug nearby, with a wooden headboard behind them.

> Police, when you get a little older,

## 4:21–4:33

Homer Simpson, bald and stubbled in his white shirt, slumps at the bar at Moe's, his head resting on one arm, and Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a bow tie and blue vest, stands behind the counter. Moe pours from a glass pitcher, then turns to pick up a Duff Beer bottle from the bar, and in the last moment he holds up a large Duff Beer bottle toward the viewer while speaking. The exterior of Moe's, with its red sign and stained glass windows, opens the scene at night, and Duff Beer bottles and a Duff sign are visible on the bar.

> Another Duff Homer? Nah, it's Friday night, Mo.
> I want to try something special.
> Ah, sure, sure.
> Ah, here you go.
> Doof.
> From Sweden.

Moe, the grey-haired bartender with a bow tie and blue overalls, and Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt, stand at a bar under a yellow Duff sign. Homer holds up a Duff bottle while Moe looks unimpressed, then Homer grimaces and Moe, mouth open, leans in to take a bottle from him as more bottles sit on the counter. The scene ends on a close-up of a Red Tick Beer label showing a cartoon figure in a red and blue outfit above the words "SUCK ONE DRY".

> Go!
> Wait a minute. This is Duff. Ah, you got me, didn't you?
> All right, here you go.
> Red tick beer.

## 4:43–4:53

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, stands behind a bar with Duff Beer bottles in front of him and a Duff! sign overhead, lifting a green bottle to his mouth in the first frame. He lowers the bottle, looks at it with a puzzled expression, then raises it again and sips, tasting it with his tongue out and his face scrunched in thought. In the final frame he holds the bottle near his chin, looking thoughtful as he appears to savor the taste. In the last scene, a group of lab workers in white coats stand on a catwalk and at a vat labeled RED TICK BEER, where a man in sunglasses and a white coat stands on a metal step stool beside a red-haired woman holding a clipboard, while a dog with sunglasses floats in the amber liquid.

> Hmm.
> Bold.
> Refreshing. And something I can't quite put my finger on.

A man in a white lab coat and dark sunglasses with slicked black hair stands beside a woman in a white lab coat and nurse's cap who holds a clipboard, next to a large vat of brownish liquid. A dark-haired figure floats in the vat at first, then a brown-and-white dog with a blue collar paddles there while the man raises a glass tube, and later a dog with a green collar swims as a gloved hand dips a beaker into the liquid. The scene then shifts to Moe's bar at night, its red sign reading MOE'S above the door, with the Kwik-E-Mart beside it under a purple sky.

> Hmm.
> Needs more dog.

Homer Simpson, the bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue jeans, sits at Moe's bar and drinks from a beer bottle while the grey-haired bartender Moe, in a blue vest and bow tie, wipes a glass and then hands him a bottle. Homer stays on his stool at the counter, looking glum and bleary-eyed as the bottles and a Ladies Night Tues sign hang behind them. Moe then lifts a bulky brown device with a glass tube and dial, a breathalyzer, while Homer stands in front of the bar with his arms at his sides. Notable objects include the row of beer bottles, the cash register, and the handwritten 'LADIES NIGHT TUES' sign.

> Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
> Just a second, Homer.
> You gotta take a breathalyzer test before I let you drive home.

Homer Simpson, a bald, heavy man in a white shirt, leans on the bar counter while Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a bow tie and vest, glowers at him from behind it. A pink sign reading Boris Yeltsin, Stinkin', Soused and Tipsy stands on the counter with glowing indicator dots and a small lever at its base, and Homer reaches for and works the lever while its lights shift from one level to the next. In the background, a stranger in a green cap sits near a window, and Homer's expression sours as he straightens up and stares ahead.

> I guess I'll walk home.

Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt, is seen at a bar where Moe, the grey-haired bartender, stands behind the counter beside Barney, the heavy drunk with messy brown hair slumped on a stool, with red-topped stools, a pink pool table and a TV on a shelf. Homer moves through the bar's doorway, then walks outside to a pink building with a green door and a window, where he stands with a hand near his face. The scene then shifts to a dark night street lined with twisted, bare blue-and-pink trees, a stop sign and a street sign, and a lamppost, as Homer walks along the sidewalk, becoming small in the distance.

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy cartoon man in a light shirt and blue pants, stands in an eerie purple forest of bare trees under a full moon, first with his arms spread and eyes wide, then glancing nervously around. He turns to face a dark, tree-lined road where approaching headlights glow in the distance, raises his hands to his head, and then stands on the roadside with his fingers pressed to his mouth. Bare trees, stars in the night sky, and the road's headlights frame the scene.

Homer Simpson, a bald, heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, first appears on a dark, tree-lined road at night, standing across from a woman in a red dress with brown hair who raises her arm toward him. A light green bus labeled "SPRINGFIELD PHILHARMONIC" with a driver in a cap and musicians inside, including a white-haired conductor, drives along the same road past the purple-red trees. Homer then runs along the empty road with his mouth open and his eyes wide, before stopping with his arms spread out in alarm.

Homer Simpson, seen from behind in a white shirt and blue pants, sits on a dark path in front of a large billboard whose blue letters read DIE, then change to DIET. He then jumps up and runs off through a purple forest past the billboard, looking alarmed, into a clearing ringed by pine trees. In the final moment he meets an older, wrinkled man with white hair and an orange top, who stands with his arms outstretched in the woods as Homer approaches.

> Oh, Don, I'm glad to see you. I went for the morning paper and I got lost.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt and purple pants, stands at night under a purple sky with an elderly man who has glasses, a moustache, spiky white hair and an orange sweater. The old man grips Homer's shirt and talks at him while Homer looks alarmed, then Homer pushes away and wanders into a dense purple forest of twisted trees and bushy blue foliage. He moves between the trunks, then stops and grabs a dark tree trunk as he peers out, with stray leaves and vines hanging around him.

> No time for you, old man.

Homer, in his white shirt and blue pants, runs through a dark, moonlit forest, leaping over a log across a stream and passing an owl perched on a branch and a pond with lily pads and cattails. He then stumbles near a small dirt mound and collapses face-down onto the grass with his arms sprawled and his tongue out. The bare trees, full moon and pink-trunked trees frame the scene.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt with stubble, is seen from behind on the left side of a dim forest of pink-purple trees, staring at a glowing green vertical portal that opens between the trunks. Then a small, big-eyed, pale green alien with a glowing green aura steps out from the portal, arms outstretched, and in the later images it stands in the middle of the trees, looking startled with its mouth open. Homer's stance stays unchanged as the alien moves forward toward the foreground, and the trees and shadows on the forest floor stay the same throughout the sequence.

Homer Simpson, bald with a white shirt, stands in a dark purple forest at night, looking frightened with his hands clasped to his chest and then raised in a pleading gesture as he shouts. He then stands in an open grassy clearing, and the view pulls back to show him small at the lower right, walking beside giant blue hedge letters that appear to spell "Hell" across the grass. Purple trees line the edge of the field under a dark sky with small stars.

Homer and Marge Simpson are in their bedroom at night. Homer bursts in through the door with his arm outstretched, then sits on the edge of the bed and clutches his head with both hands while Marge, in a pink nightgown, sits up in bed with a startled expression. A glowing red digital clock sits on the nightstand beside a pleated lamp, and framed pictures hang on the purple walls.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive, lies in bed looking uneasy and clutching her collar, while Homer in a white shirt stands in the bedroom gesturing with both hands beside a round mirror and a tall stack of cassette tapes. The scene then cuts to the family's pink-and-tan house with a brown roof, an arched orange front door, and a pink car parked in the driveway. Inside the kitchen, Homer gestures with open hands at the blue table while Maggie in her blue bow and Lisa in her red dress and pearl necklace sit with breakfast plates, a milk carton, and a glass of milk, and Lisa glances sideways with a worried look.

Homer and Lisa sit at the kitchen table, where Homer talks and gestures with his hand on his chest, then scowls at Lisa, who holds a fork over her plate. Marge, with her tall blue beehive, appears at the left edge of the table and looks on as Homer leans back in his chair with his mouth wide open, tongue out and drooling. The table holds a milk carton, a glass of milk, plates of sausage and a red tray, and a red phone hangs on the wall beside a heart-shaped note on the green refrigerator.

Lisa's expression becomes more serious as she looks at Homer, who keeps his fork raised, with a milk carton, plates of food and a teapot and red radio in the background.

Bart, in a red alien-style helmet with green goggle eyes and antennae, holds a toy ray gun and sits at the kitchen table, while Homer, in a white shirt, Marge with her tall blue beehive, Maggie with a pacifier, and Lisa in her red dress sit around the blue tablecloth. In the first moment Bart stands at the doorway aiming his ray gun, then Homer is seen at the fridge with a hand to his chin before the family gathers at the table. Homer then turns and gestures with both hands while speaking, and the group remains seated at the table with a loaf of bread, a milk carton and glasses in front of them. The kitchen has a green fridge, a red wall phone and a framed picture of a house with a sun.

Homer Simpson, bald and in a white shirt, sits at the bar of Moe's Tavern with his arms crossed, between an unnamed man in a brown suit and tie and an unnamed woman with auburn hair in a blue top. Under the orange 'Duff!' sign, Homer's expression shifts from a smirk to a wide-eyed, open-mouthed startled look, then he turns his gaze aside and reaches for a green bottle. Bottles stand on the bar, the suited man holds a red bottle over a bowl, and the woman holds a white mug, while the men's gazes drift to the side.

> Mr. Simpson, it's a felony to lie to the FBI.
> We were sitting in Barney's car eating packets of mustard.
> You happy?
> You, a one fine-looking woman, lady.

Homer, bald and heavy in a white shirt, sits at the bar in Moe's tavern beneath the orange Duff sign, next to a dark-haired man in a grey suit and tie and a woman with shoulder-length auburn hair in a blue jacket who holds a white cup. Homer raises a green bottle to his mouth and then tilts it down, and beer foams out and spills across the counter as the woman gestures with one hand. Amid rows of green bottles and a bowl of snacks, the three sit still while the spilled liquid pools on the wooden bar.

## 16:50–17:01

Homer Simpson, in a black winter hat, dark vest and boots, stands in a snowy street with his tongue stuck to a lamppost, his arms out and eyes wide, beside a small house and a parked car. Then a grey-haired news anchor in a red jacket and blue tie, holding a sheet of paper at a desk, reads and speaks before a blue abstract picture, first with eyes lowered and then looking up, and finally with eyes closed and mouth open mid-speech. The scene ends with a glowing green humanoid figure with outstretched arms standing among pink and purple tree trunks.

Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a red jacket and blue tie, reads from a sheet of paper at a desk on a television screen, and a glowing green alien with big round eyes first appears on that screen, arms outstretched, against a wavy psychedelic swirl pattern. A question-mark poster showing flying saucers hangs behind him, and then the scene cuts to the living room, where Marge stands tall with her blue beehive, Maggie in her blue bow and pacifier stands at the bottom left, and Homer sits on the couch beside Bart and Lisa, who sit with their arms crossed as they watch the TV, with a lamp, a telephone and a sailboat painting on the wall.

Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a red jacket and blue tie, sits at a desk on a TV screen reading from a sheet of paper, his eyes closed at first and then shifting sideways as his expression tightens into a grimace, with a boom microphone dangling above him in the later moments. The scene then cuts to the living room, where Marge with her tall blue beehive stands at left beside Homer, Bart and Lisa, who has her arms crossed, all of them looking off to the side while baby Maggie sits on a colorful rug playing with blocks.

Bart Simpson, with spiky hair and an orange shirt, stands with his hands on his hips beside Lisa Simpson, who wears a red dress and pearl necklace, in front of a red couch. Lisa talks, grits her teeth, then folds her arms and scowls while Bart watches her. Homer Simpson, bald and in a white shirt, opens a pink door by its purple knob as a brown-haired man in a suit peeks around the edge of the doorway.

Homer stands on the front step of his house, speaking and gesturing with his arms spread, while a line of townspeople stands on the sidewalk watching him, with a tall blue-haired woman and a heavy man in a white shirt near the front. The view then moves to a close-up of the crowd, where a heavy-set Black man in a green sweater vest grins and a man in a red jacket points, and the man in the vest then raises a hand to his face. Behind them are a brick building, trees, and a blue sky with clouds, and a blue mailbox stands at the bottom of the scene.

Homer Simpson stands in an arched doorway of a pink house, first with narrowed eyes and an open mouth, then grinning with his teeth showing, a potted plant at his side. Next, a heavy man with messy brown hair in a pink polo shirt and blue pants talks and points to the right beside a wooden fence and a purple roof, while a figure in a red jacket and a pink cap with headphones stands at the left. Finally, Ned Flanders, with his moustache and glasses in a green sweater, stands in a row with a wrinkled bald old man with white tufts of hair, a woman with reddish-brown hair in a salmon shirt, and a ginger man in a teal shirt beneath a blue sky and white cloud; Ned first raises a hand to his chin, then clasps his hands together.

Homer Simpson, bald with stubble and wearing a white shirt, stands in a doorway in the foreground, raising his hand in a palm-out refusal gesture while looking to the side. Behind him is a pink room with a potted plant in a wall niche. Outside, a crowd of townspeople, including a man with a pinkish-grey hairstyle and a heavy man with a blue beehive-style hair (not Marge), gathers before a pink front door with a welcome mat reading WELCOME, and a pale purple doorknocker shaped like a ring. The group then moves into a church where worshippers sit in wooden pews along a red carpet toward a pulpit at the stage. Stained-glass windows line the walls and a central arch frames the stage.

A thin man with black swept-back hair, a pink shirt, blue tie and cream vest stands behind a wooden podium with a microphone in a stained-glass church setting flanked by flower arrangements with pink blossoms. He speaks earnestly, gestures with one raised hand, then lowers it and rests his fist against his chin in a thoughtful pose, while a blue banner with a white bird hangs from the podium. The man is not Smithers or any other regular: he is a one-off character, so no name applies.

A suburban street under a purple night sky is labeled "FRIDAY NIGHT" before the scene shifts to a forest gathering. Mr. Burns, frail and stooped with a hooked nose, conducts a red-uniformed marching band in white hats beneath a yellow banner reading "WELCOME ALIEN," while Grampa with white tufts of hair, Apu in a green jacket, and Bart in an orange shirt stand near a "HOT DOGS" stand. Crowds of townspeople watch, and a person in a purple beanie holds a sign reading "ALIEN-DUDE: NEED TWO TICKETS TO PEARL JAM" as bystanders look on.

Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, stands at a hot dog stand while a thin, dark-haired man in a tan jacket and black turtleneck stands beside him and a young vendor in a paper hat and striped vest works behind the counter. The vendor holds up a hot dog with tongs as the man raises a hand in a V-shaped gesture, grins, and then frowns, while Bart, arms crossed, looks up at him. The night scene has a red-lettered "HOT DOGS" sign overhead and a tray labeled "PICKLES" on the counter.

Homer's hands hold up and then unfurl a light blue shirt printed with 'HOMER WAS RIGHT' as Lisa looks up at him, with a shadowy clerk in a purple shirt behind the counter. Stacks of folded shirts and more 'HOMER WAS RIGHT' and 'NO FAT ALIEN CHICKS' T-shirts hang on the stand, and Lisa holds a 'NO FAT ALIEN CHICKS' shirt against her chest.

Homer, Lisa, and an unnamed dark-haired man in a pink sweater stand at a night-time market stall lined with folded shirts, with Homer holding up a light blue "HOMER WAS RIGHT" shirt while Lisa watches and the man reaches toward it and scowls. Homer keeps displaying the shirt, and then Marge with her tall blue beehive and Maggie with a pacifier and blue bow appear, Maggie holding up a pink "HOMER IS A DOPE" shirt while Marge steadies it. Homer stands at left holding the "HOMER WAS RIGHT" shirt, and the stall's tree-lined purple night backdrop stays the same throughout.

Carl talks and gestures with the cigar, first raising it and then pointing it toward the red-haired man, who scowls. The scene then shifts to a pale green, glowing ghostly figure with large round glasses standing among tall pink-trunked trees in a forest, first with arms crossed over its chest and then spreading its arms wide as the green glow pulses around it.

He hugs himself, then stands with his arms spread and wide eyes. An angry red-bearded man in overalls points off-screen, then raises a hoe high above his head while a crowd of townspeople with hoes stands behind him against a purple sky with bare, twisted trees.

Orange text on black appears in sequence: first "Post Production Supervisor ALISON ELLIOTT", then "Dialogue Sound Editors BOBBY MACKSTON, TERRY GREENE, TONY CAPPELLI", then "Music Editor CHRIS LEDESMA, Sound Effects Editor TRAVIS POWERS, Re-Recording Mixers R. RUSSELL SMITH and GREG ORLOFF", then a list of assistants and producers' assistants including ALEXANDER DUKE, and finally "Overseas Animation Director UTIT CHOOMUANG". The credits change one after another as the names fade in and out against the plain dark background.

A row of dark silhouetted audience members sits in a theater facing a blank screen, and no one can be identified by name. A blue beam of light sweeps across the screen as the words GRACIE FILMS appear on it, and the scene then goes black with the text IN ASSOCIATION WITH fading in. The golden 20th Century Fox Television logo, with its tall stacked building and searchlights and the caption A News Corporation Company, rises over a blue sky, then the screen fades to black.
