Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt and blue shorts, stands at a classroom chalkboard in the opening sequence, writing "I AM NOT LICENSED TO DO ANYTHING" over and over in white chalk. He writes the lines repeatedly, then leans back, grinning and squinting, and kicks one leg up while stretching an arm out as the board fills with the repeated text. The scene opens on a blue sky with drifting clouds, then the title card "THE SIMPSONS" appears in yellow letters over the clouds before the classroom, which has a green wall, a red wastebasket, and a round wall clock.

Homer, bald and heavyset in a white shirt and blue pants, stands in the driveway beside a pink car in front of a yellow garage, while Lisa in her red dress rides a red tricycle loaded with stacked books past him. Homer then appears in a purple room with a red bed, leaning to press a wall switch with a cup in his hand and an alarmed expression. Finally, Maggie, with her pacifier and blue bow, peeks over the brown sofa in a pink living room as a large orange object passes in front of it, with a lamp, telephone, rug and TV nearby.

No regular characters appear in this sequence, which is a series of title cards on a pink-backed retro television set. The first card reads 'Created by Matt Groening' in yellow letters on the blue screen, followed by 'Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon' on the screen twice, then the screen fades to black. The final moment shows the Municipal House of Pancakes, a blue-roofed building with a sign reading 'Municipal House of Pancakes' on a tall post, with a white van and a red car parked in the lot under a clear blue sky.

The scene starts with the brown-haired woman leaning in toward the blue-haired woman, who smiles, and a white 'Consulting Producer DAVID MIRKIN' credit appears over the lower middle. Afterward the group gathers around a round table with coffee mugs, saucers and a plate, and Marge talks and gestures with an open hand while her sister listens and the others look on, before the scene ends with Marge still speaking.

> Why don't we buy a business?
> I never thought of that. I'm not wild about these high-risk ventures.

Krabappel leans forward and then holds up a poster reading 'EL BOMBASTICO, EL COLISEO DE TIJUANA, SABADO 9:00 PM' showing a masked wrestler, while the orange-haired woman sits with a stick in her mouth and the others sip from cups of coffee. The scene ends with the twin sister clenching her fists and scowling with her eyes shut as Marge looks on, with coffee mugs and plates on the table.

> Oh, Marge, you are such a wet blanket.
> If we'd listened to you, we wouldn't have sponsored that Mexican wrestler.
> Yet she still gets to share in all the profits.

Two unnamed women with orange hairdos sit on the left, and coffee cups, saucers, and a condiment caddy sit on the table beneath hanging plants and lanterns. As the moment goes on, the view narrows to the blue-bobbed woman and the brown-haired woman, who glance at each other, and white credit captions such as 'Consultant JOHN SWARTZWELDER' and 'Produced by J. MICHAEL MENDEL' appear over the scene.

> I guess I'm just not comfortable with the whole idea of investing.
> Mmm, face it, you can't keep up with the go-go 90s.

## 1:59–2:10

Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart are at the Simpsons' kitchen table with plates of spaghetti, but the moment opens on the Simpson house at night, with its garage and fenced yard under a purple sky. Next, a pair of yellow hands holds up a blue Bank of Springfield check for five hundred dollars made out to Marge Simpson, marked "for buy-out." Back at the table, Homer gestures with his hands in front of him, first with palms pressed together and then with his hands spread open as he leans back, while Marge and the children look on.

> And then they gave me back my $500 investment and kicked me out of the club.
> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Back up a bit now.
> When are the pancakes coming in the mail?
> Well, maybe it's all for the best.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, is at the left edge of the frame while Homer, bald in a white shirt, and Bart, with spiky hair in an orange shirt, sit at a kitchen table with plates of sausages and side dishes. Homer gestures with one hand while holding a sausage aloft, then lifts it toward his face and later slumps forward with his arms on the table, eyes half-closed, while Bart eats with a fork and Marge holds a small paper. A refrigerator with a child's drawing of a house and sun, a window, and kitchen cabinets are visible behind them.

> What do you need to make money for anyway?
> As long as I have my earning power, this family's got nothing to worry about.
> Ow!
> Oh.

## 2:23–2:33

Bart, in an orange shirt, and Lisa, in a red dress and pearls, sit at a dinner table with Homer, Marge and baby Maggie in a high chair. Lisa gestures with an open hand while Bart holds a fork, and Homer raises a fist to his mouth as he eats while Marge holds a small blue slip of paper and looks over at him. Plates of food, a bowl, a red bottle and glasses sit on the table, and then Marge appears alone against a pink wall with a fish-shaped decoration, first glancing sideways with a flat expression and then grimacing with clenched teeth.

> Mom, this is no time to be conservative.
> Let's roll the dice here. It would be nice to beat those women at their own game.
> Maybe I should look into a franchise.

Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart walk along a red carpet between white columns, with Herb in a blue suit and a dark-haired woman in a purple suit ahead of them, toward a grey robot named Investo. Marge's tall blue beehive fills the first view in front of a partly hidden sign reading "FRAN... EXPO" and "WHERE... YOUR NONSEXU... E TRUE". The family halts before the robot, which holds dollar-sign money bags and extends one toward them while Homer, Marge and Lisa look on and Bart sips a green drink.

> Greetings, humans.
> I am Investo the Robot from the planet Opportuniac.
> My superior brain advises you to enter the franchise fair.

Marge Simpson, Homer Simpson, Lisa, Maggie and Bart stand in a bright, lilac-walled hallway with a pink-and-teal wall and a stand of colorful balloons. A grey, boxy robot with red eyes and a money bag held in each of its two arms blocks their path, and Marge looks angry while Homer holds Maggie. The robot's arm extends toward Bart, who reaches out and takes a small green bill from its hand, while Lisa and Marge watch. Dollar-sign money bags are the notable objects, and a small grey mouse scurries along the floor at the bottom of the scene.

> Well, we're trying to, but you're blocking our way.
> Danger!
> Don't forget to pick up pamphlets!

Smoke rises from the robot as Marge holds up a white sack in one of its hands, and Bart walks forward in front of the machine while the family shifts around it. The family moves off to the left, leaving the robot alone with the bystanders standing motionless in the background.

Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie stand in a crowd at the Springfield Franchise Expo, a hall with a purple-roofed kiosk behind them and a sign reading 'SFIELD FRANCHISE EXPO' on the wall. A man in a pink shirt, blue shorts and a belt stands on a stage in front of the sign with his arms spread wide, presenting to the seated audience. Across the moment he holds his pose and gestures, first with both arms outstretched and then with his arms lowered slightly, while Homer and the family watch him, with Maggie held against Homer's shoulder and a grid chart on an easel at the left edge.

> Well, that's the miracle of the franchise.
> You get all the equipment and know-how you need,

Troy McClure, an actor with swept-back reddish hair in a maroon suit, stands on a stage in a Picture Perfect showroom, gesturing with open hands between two wooden-bordered portraits of a clown, one labeled BEFORE on the left and tilted, the other labeled AFTER on the right. Seated in the audience, Marge with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, a brown-haired woman in a pink jacket, a dark-haired woman in lavender with red lipstick, and a moustached man in a blue sweater watch him, with the brown-haired woman raising a hand to her mouth in the final moment. The sign PICTURE PERFECT hangs above the stage.

Troy McClure, an actor with swept-back reddish hair, wearing a brown suit and red tie, stands before a wall hung with two framed paintings of green-haired clowns with red noses. He gestures with open palms, then raises a clenched fist beside his shoulder while grinning and glancing to the side. The movements shift from open-handed gestures to the raised fist and back, with his expression alternating between a talking mouth and a broad smile.

Troy McClure, an actor with swept-back reddish hair in a brown suit and red tie, stands before a pale wall flanked by tilted framed pictures of green figures with red lips. He opens his arms wide, then lowers one hand and gestures downward with a sideways, skeptical glance, then spreads both arms out to the sides as he turns his head. He ends with his arms folded across his chest, eyes closed and mouth open in a smug smile.

> Good luck. Hey, you know, maybe no one will notice.
> Maybe the problem will just fix itself.

Next he lifts a booklet labeled 'PICTURE PERFECT' with red arrows, still holding the canister and glove, and grins. In the final moment he lowers the booklet slightly, holds it with the canister tucked against his shoulder, and looks off to the side with his mouth open.

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress with red beads, stands in a crowded indoor room with a purple wall and ceiling lights, beside a man with a moustache and glasses in a blue sweater and a woman with orange-red bouffant hair in a light blue top. She first speaks with her eyes half-closed, then glances sideways with wide eyes, and later faces a row of one-off women: an elderly woman with lavender hair in a purple top, a woman with auburn bouffant hair in a green cardigan, a woman with dark curly hair in a blue collared top and pink sweater, and a woman with auburn hair in a pink vest. The women stand with skeptical, unimpressed expressions as Marge talks to them, and a woman with dark hair and a purple top stands behind them holding a brown bag.

The women turn and walk away toward a counter while Marge watches, and a grey-haired man in an orange shirt stands behind a small table in the background with a line of people beyond him.

A brown-haired woman with a ponytail, wearing a white blouse under a blue vest with a round badge, stands before a red sign reading "...ET-A-P..." and a window at a counter-style setting. She laughs with her eyes squeezed shut, then gestures with one hand on her chest, then raises a finger to her chin while speaking with a worried expression. She spreads both hands wide with palms out as a blue-capped worker in the right edge holds a tray of flatbreads. She then clasps her hands together in front of her chest, grinning and looking sideways. Her badge and the restaurant sign are the main visible details.

> Hey, I'm no geographer.
> You and I, why don't we call it pocket bread?
> Uh, what's tahini?

A woman with a brown ponytail, blue vest and red skirt stands at a counter facing four women who hold paper sheets: a red-haired woman in a pink vest, a woman in a green jacket, an elderly woman with lilac hair, and a woman with a tall brown hairdo at the back. She talks and raises one finger while the women look on over a platter of flatbread-like food, then in the final moment she passes a small bowl of sauce toward the lilac-haired woman, who holds out a white bowl. Blue drapes, a metal scaffold tower and a small printed menu card sit behind and beside the counter.

> Flavor sauce. And falafel? Crunch patties.
> So, we'd be selling foreign food. Specialty foods.
> Here, try a Ben Franklin.

An unnamed woman with a tall, voluminous brown hairdo, a blue shirt, a pink vest and a white apron stands at a food counter under hanging lamps, with a partly visible sign reading "PI" and "PE" behind her. She holds a wrapped sandwich filled with greens and red meat, first studying it with a frown, then taking a bite while chewing. She glances sideways with wide eyes and a toothy, uneasy grin, then looks back down at the food in her hands.

> Mmm.
> That is good. What's in it?
> Tabula and resme kebab. Uh, that's our chef, Christopher.

A brown-haired woman with a ponytail, wearing a blue vest over a white shirt, stands beside a white van with a red Fleet-A-Pita sign while a moustached man in a white chef's hat leans from the serving window with his arms folded. She claps her hands together, glances at the watch on her wrist, then gestures toward the van and points at its window with a yellow hand. Moving indoors to a counter under hanging lamps, she lifts a pita sandwich stuffed with greens and tomato, opens her mouth as if about to take a bite, and holds a folded paper in her other arm.

> Take the car.

A group of women and Milhouse, a blue-haired man with glasses in a white jacket, stand at a food counter eating from a platter of wrapped sandwiches garnished with greenery, with a menu sheet on the counter. Each lifts a sandwich to their mouth and takes bites, while the grey-violet-haired woman in beaded purple chews and the brown-haired woman in a pink sweater keeps eating and looking to the side. In the background, Marge in her tall blue beehive and green dress stands behind the counter beneath a red-and-yellow lit sign.

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stands in a room with a pink-trimmed round table and hanging lamps at the left edge. She glances sideways with wide eyes and a grimace, then her expression shifts to a narrow-eyed, unimpressed squint and a pursed mouth. Her eyes roll and dart back and forth as she looks off to the side, and she ends with a sly, sideways smirk and clenched teeth. Background includes a blue panel and a wood-paneled ceiling.

Marge Simpson with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace sits in a red car beside a thin man with brown hair and a white tank top, with a wooded background. He smirks, then closes his eyes, then holds a large stack of coupons while Marge reaches toward them. The scene ends in a close-up of two yellow hands holding a white coupon printed "FREE PRETZEL" with a grey Pretzel Wagon logo, above a purple drawer.

> That'll be $300. Hey, I don't think so. I got me 300 coupons.

A line of cartoon children and adults gathers on the wooden porch of a small house with a sloped shingled roof and an open purple door. A boy in a grey vest and a red-haired girl in a green dress walk along the deck while a white-haired old man in purple pants steps out of the doorway, followed by a tall man in a white shirt and red pants and a woman in an orange dress carrying a baby. As more kids stream out in orange, red and pink outfits, the group spreads out and stands in a row along the deck, with pink laundry hanging on a line at the right edge.

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stands at a counter in a purple room with shelves holding jars and boxes, and an orange chair behind her. She first looks sideways with a flat, unimpressed expression, then her eyes widen and she grimaces with clenched teeth as she stares off to the side. Lisa Simpson, with star-shaped spiky hair and a red dress, enters through the doorway on the right, holding a pretzel in one hand and a white cup in the other, and her eyes widen as she looks toward Marge.

Lisa Simpson, in a red-and-orange dress with pearls, and Marge Simpson, with her tall blue hair and green dress, first stand and talk in a dim room lined with hanging tools, then Marge sits on a chair while Lisa holds a pretzel-stamped booklet. The scene cuts to the exterior of Springfield War Memorial Stadium, where a marquee reads 'FREE PRETZEL DAY' above a baseball field with a Duff Beer sign and red-white-and-blue bunting. In the stands, a crowd of Springfield residents eats pretzels as Marge raises one hand holding a pretzel box, and Homer, in a white shirt and blue pants, stands beside her holding another pretzel box.

Homer then looks back toward a funeral parlor where mourners sit in folding chairs before an open casket, beside a table of food and a large pretzel-shaped display, and he gazes at the casket. The scene returns to the doorway as Homer speaks with a mouth open and eyes shut, and the woman looks unimpressed, before both turn to look back at the casket, where a pale old man lies with white flowers in front, while she touches her cheek.

He looks worried and pleading with furrowed brows, his mouth opening and closing as he speaks, while his hands rise up beside his head, palms out in a pleading gesture. He gradually shifts from a tight-lipped grimace to an open-mouthed appeal, with his hands gesturing emphatically at either side of his face.

Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief in a grey uniform and cap, stands on a dusty lot beside a red-and-white FLEET-A-PITA van with a woman in a pink vest, blue blouse, green skirt and tall brown hairdo. The woman first glares with her hand pressed to her chest, then stands with her arms at her sides while Wiggum gestures with an open hand, scowls, and finally grins while clutching his belly. A small figure in dark clothes is crouched near the glass building wall at the far left.

> That's crazy!
> And what are those men doing under my van?
> Look, lady, if I was you, I would just leap into the air as I'm preparing to do.

A bartender in a bow tie and dark apron stands behind a bar lined with bottles and a cash register, while a yellow cartoon hand sets a frothy beer mug down and then lays a green fifty-dollar bill on the wooden counter, with a swirling orange burst filling the screen at the start. The bartender lifts the bill to look at it, then holds it close, squinting and grimacing as he inspects it closely. Notable objects include the frothy beer mug, the bill marked "FIFTY" in each corner, and the cash register.

> Here you go, Homer. Thanks, Moe.
> Ah, Homer, you know your money's no good here.
> Hey, wait a minute. This is real money. Yeah, my wife is raking it in.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset in a white shirt, leans on the tavern bar holding a mug of beer while Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a blue apron, works at the cash register. Homer later sets a green bill on the bar and Moe leans over to take it, then Moe turns toward the back as Homer walks through a doorway and waves. Beer mugs, colorful bottles on the shelves, and a red tiled ceiling fill the bar.

Homer stands at a restroom sink in a white shirt, first staring at his reflection in the mirror, then turning to face a slick-haired man in a black jacket and green shirt who approaches and speaks to him. Homer fiddles with his cuffs as the man grips his shoulder, and they stand near a wall-mounted paper towel dispenser and a green wall with a green EXIT sign.

Indoors near a doorway under a green EXIT sign, the stranger talks and grimaces, then gestures with an open hand, while Homer stays wide-eyed and tense. Across the moment the man's expression shifts between a sly grin and a fixed, toothy smile as he keeps talking.

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, stands in a restroom in front of a urinal and a mirror with a sink. He starts with his eyes wide and his mouth closed, then opens his mouth as if speaking, his eyes staring out and his face tensed. His mouth opens wider and he appears to shout, showing his teeth and tongue. In the final moment his eyes narrow to a sidelong glance and his mouth hangs slightly open as he speaks. A paper towel dispenser and a small window with a towel hang on the tiled wall behind him.

The man grips Homer's shoulder and stomach, then gestures with an open hand and reaches toward Homer's mouth while Homer's mouth hangs open. Homer bends forward with both hands at his mouth, then the two stand and shake hands while Homer looks wary.

The dark-haired man keeps a sidelong, unimpressed gaze, then grins with clenched teeth and turns to leave out the left side of the frame. The final view shows the empty EXIT door, with a purple bench in front and a round grey trash bin beside a brown door.

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive, drives an orange car with a giant pretzel on its roof along a desert road at sunset, gripping the steering wheel with a seatbelt across her chest. In the first two views she sits upright, staring wide-eyed with her mouth open, and then she turns her head sharply while raising one hand from the wheel. In the final view, from above, the orange car with the pretzel on top skids sideways across dusty brown ground, kicking up dust clouds, and collides with a white van that is tilting on its side, with a patch of green grass in the upper right corner.

Inside an orange car at dusk, a heavy, bald-headed man in a dark jacket over a teal shirt gestures with his hands while speaking, with a thin, dark-haired man in a suit and tie and a stooped, grey-haired man in dark clothes sitting behind him. The heavyset man's hands alternately wave outward and point toward the viewer, and his expression shifts from a sly grin to a grimace and open-mouthed speech. In the last moments, the blue-haired woman with a beaded necklace sits in the passenger seat behind the window, eyes squeezed shut and teeth clenched, as the men keep gesturing. The purple sky and white clouds show through the windows.

## 21:20–21:34

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive, appear in a kitchen, and an unnamed thin man in a white suit with a red tie stands arms crossed by a mailbox on a lawn outside as the scene opens. Homer first stands looking anxious beside a brown door with a silver knob and a coat hanging near him, then sits at a round table covered in a blue cloth with Marge, both holding teacups. Homer sips from his cup and then speaks, while a dark silhouette moves past the kitchen window with corn-patterned yellow curtains, and a coffee maker and a red bowl sit on the counter.

> Aw.
> You must hate me, Marge. Every time I try to help, I just fail miserably.

## 21:34–21:43

Homer sits glumly at the kitchen table in a white shirt, then Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, sits beside him and reaches over to hold his hand while he cradles a teacup. Their red dish rack, coffee maker, and yellow curtain are visible, and Lisa with her star-shaped spiky hair and Bart in a green sweater appear in the doorway on the right, looking over as Lisa speaks.

> I don't hate you for failing.
> I love you for trying.
> What's going on outside?

## 21:43–21:54

Bart and Lisa stand near the microwave while Marge and Homer sit at a blue-draped kitchen table holding teacups. The pane of the window behind the table then shatters, and a man in a white suit with a red tie and slicked black hair stands on the checkered floor by the green stove, adjusting his jacket. He then walks left through the arched pink doorway as Bart and Lisa watch, and the kitchen has corn-patterned curtains and scattered debris on the floor.

> Oh, it's just a mob war. Go back to sleep, honey.
> Forgiveness, please.

## 22:40–22:50

A silhouetted audience of unnamed one-off characters sits in rows of theater seats facing a blank screen, with a figure with a big spiky-haired silhouette near the left, which resembles Bart, in the foreground. A blue light beam sweeps across the theater, revealing the white words "GRACIE FILMS" on the screen, and the scene then cuts to a golden "20th Century Fox Television" logo rising against a blue sky with searchlight beams, later captioned "A News Corporation Company" in white text beneath the building. The moment ends on a black screen.

> Thank you.
