## 0:00–0:12

Clouds drift across a blue sky before the title "The Simpsons" appears in orange letters. Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, leaps on a skateboard above a brick wall beside a pink car in the driveway of the yellow house, while an orange-clad figure sits in the car. Homer, the bald, stubbled man in a white shirt and blue pants, then stands beside the pink car in front of the open garage with a bicycle, a blue mailbox on the lawn nearby.

## 0:12–0:23

Homer, bald and heavy with stubble in a white shirt, is shown first in a doorway in a pink room, then Homer, Bart in an orange shirt, Lisa with spiky hair and a red dress, Maggie in a blue bow and Marge with her tall blue beehive stand in a living room with a brown sofa, a sailboat painting, a purple lamp and a striped rug. Bart, Lisa and Maggie sit or stand on the rug while Marge reaches toward the lamp, and Homer raises an arm. The scene then cuts to a purple television set on which the yellow on-screen text reads "CREATED BY MATT GROENING" and then "DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS MATT GROENING SAM SIMON" in the blue screen.

## 0:23–0:33

Mr. Burns, a frail old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, appears in a dark blue suit carrying a brown briefcase. After the screen fades up from black on a pink sunset over nuclear cooling towers behind a chain-link fence, he walks briskly past wood-paneled walls and a lamp, while the caption 'Co-Executive Producer GEORGE MEYER' appears below him. Then a white polar bear leaps onto his back, mouth open, as he keeps hurrying along beneath a red and gold shield on the wall.

## 0:33–0:45

Mr. Burns, frail and stooped with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits in a tall red armchair at a blue desk beside a grandfather clock, first holding a brown briefcase. His thin assistant Smithers, in glasses and a white jacket with a pink bow tie, approaches carrying a silver tea service, and Burns smiles, closes his eyes and waves a hand as if declining. Yellow credit captions appear over the scene naming Steve Tompkins, Jonathan Collier and Ken Keeler, while Burns gestures and then glances to the side beside the pink window.

> Good morning, sir.
> Care for some coffee?
> No, the promise of a new day is more than enough exhilaration for me.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits at a blue desk in a dark suit and black tie, hands clasped in front of a tall red high-backed chair beside a pink window and a wooden grandfather clock. He slowly slumps forward, his head sinking lower until he is sprawled across the desk with heavy-lidded eyes, and no one else is visible in the room. The clock's pendulum hangs motionless on the left, and the scene shows only Burns and the furnishings.

> Smithers, coffee.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, stands in his office holding a pink mug and gesturing, while Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses and a pink bow tie, stands beside a desk behind him. In the first frames Burns holds the mug and eyes the room, then in the middle frames he closes his eyes with a sly grin and gestures with a finger, and in the last frames he talks with a wide grin and points toward Smithers. A clipboard on the desk lists 'Meltdown Alert', 'Mad Dog Drill', 'Fire Drill' and 'Blimp Attack', and a framed portrait of Burns hangs on the wall, while the credits 'Consulting Producer Ian Maxtone-Graham' and 'Consulting Producer Dan McGrath' appear over the scene.

> Ah, we need some excitement around here.
> Chinese checkers or domestic, sir? No, no, something fun.
> Something the men will enjoy, like a safety drill.
> But what kind?
> Ah, meltdown alert, mad dog drill, blimp attack.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and blue-grey hair at the sides, stands at a desk beside his thin assistant Smithers, who wears glasses, a pink bow tie and a badge. A hand with a pointing finger presses and taps the red buttons on a panel labeled MELTDOWN ALERT, MAD DOG DRILL, BLIMP ATTACK and FIRE DRILL, moving from the top button down to the third. In the last frame, Burns's hand taps BLIMP ATTACK while the scene shows a portrait of him on the wall. The setting is an ornate office with dark wood paneling and a fireplace.

> Ah, I think a good old-fashioned fire drill today.

Homer, bald and heavy in his white shirt, sits at a pink table in a break room with Carl, a Black man in a grey jacket and pink sweater, who points at a blue microwave on the wall while popcorn pops inside. Carl then pours popcorn from a bag into a blue bowl as Homer eats, and the microwave door hangs open. Homer, Carl and Lenny, who has spiky black hair, a green sweater and purple suspenders, then walk past a red 'hot cocoa' vending machine, with a plate of food and a 'OWN MESS!' sign nearby, while credits such as 'Consulting Producer David Mirkin' and 'Produced by J. Michael Mendel' appear on screen.

> All right, popcorn's ready.
> Hey, that's the fire alarm. We gotta get out of here.
> Wait for me!
> Come on, come on, come on!

Homer then stands with arms outstretched before a shelf holding a portrait of Lisa and a portrait of the family, Marge, Bart, Maggie, Lisa and Homer, beside a larger portrait of Marge. A hand holds up a black card reading OLDE TYME PHOTOS, showing an old man in a brown hat, long coat and sheriff-style boots holding a lasso.

Homer Simpson, bald and wearing a white shirt, first stands in a blue room with a black folder and an orange object near his face while a red warning light glows on the wall. He then runs down a hallway holding the folder, mouth open in alarm, as a moustached man in a lavender shirt and purple tie backs away on the right. Later, that moustached man stands wringing his hands beside a worker in a white hard hat and tan jacket who shouts, with cooling towers and a purple building with a green bench visible outdoors in the final shot, where two figures in hard hats and coats stand on a dirt lot.

> Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire.

They stand outdoors against a bright blue sky with white clouds and a street lamp at the left edge. Over the course of the clip Burns keeps talking and gesturing with his clasped hands, while Smithers remains still, looking off to the side and holding the stopwatch. Credit text appears over the lower part of the scene, first reading 'Produced by Richard Sakai, Denise Sirkot', then 'Written by John Swartzwelder', and finally 'Directed by Mark Kirkland'.

> Is it supposed to take this long?
> What's a good time for a mass evacuation of the entire plant?
> Forty-five seconds.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, and Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses, brown hair and a purple bow tie, stand outdoors against a bright blue sky with wispy clouds and a street lamp at the left edge. Burns holds his hands together at his chest and then clenches his fists while speaking angrily, his mouth opening and closing as he glares. Smithers looks on, holding a small silver stopwatch in his right hand, and at one point he speaks and grimaces, then gives a strained, toothy expression as Burns rages on.

> I don't know, sir. This stopwatch only goes up to 15 minutes.
> Damnation!
> What kind of slow coaches do I have working for me?

Homer Simpson, a bald, heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, bursts out of a purple building's doorway and runs along the sidewalk past a green bench, glancing back as he hurries. Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, and his thin assistant Smithers in glasses watch from the foreground, and in the final moment Homer runs toward them across a dirt lot beside a fence and a red structure. No on-screen text is visible.

The scene then pulls back to show a large crowd of plant workers in white coats gathered in a semicircle in a yard before a building with shattered windows, scattered rubble, and red storage tanks behind it. Two small figures stand in the foreground, and a dangling object hangs near one of the broken windows.

> Yes.
> You won, all right.
> You won more than you bargained for. Woo-hoo!
> What a disgraceful display.

Later, Homer in his white shirt, Lenny with spiky black hair in a green sweater and purple suspenders, and Carl in a pink sweater and grey jacket stand in a crowd near a cracked window. The dark-haired man shouts and leans forward, then Carl lunges and grabs him while Homer and the bystanders look on.

> I've seen more orderly behavior in a Ritz Brothers film.
> You all need a serious lesson in teamwork.
> Maybe he does, but I don't. Hey, you take that back.
> No, you take that back.

Lenny, with spiky black hair and a dark green jacket, and Carl, a Black man in a grey coat and brown trousers, trade punches on a dirt lot while Homer in his white shirt and blue pants stands nearby and a crowd of onlookers raises their fists. Mr. Burns, a frail stooped old man with a hooked nose, and his thin assistant Smithers in glasses and a magenta bow tie stand against a bright blue sky. Homer, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Marge sit around a dinner table beneath a framed still-life painting on a pink wall, with Lisa lifting a glass and Maggie eating from a plate.

> You too, Lenny!

Homer Simpson, bald with stubble and a white shirt, and Bart Simpson, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, sit at a wooden dining table in a pink room with a vase of red flowers behind them, each with a plate of meatballs and mashed potatoes and a glass of water. Homer raises his hand and talks while Bart listens with a sour, bored look, then Bart takes up a fork and gestures with both hands open as he speaks. Homer sits with his arms folded and a skeptical expression, and in the final beat Bart shrugs with his palms up while Homer looks on, unimpressed.

> Teamwork is overrated.

> Think about it.
> I mean, what team was Babe Ruth on?

Homer starts with his arms folded and a scowl, Bart spreads his hands open in a gesture, and Homer rests his chin on his hand in thought before raising a hand to speak with his mouth open. Bart sits with his eyes closed and his head tilted down while Homer keeps talking.

Homer, wearing a red knit hat and purple jacket, drives a red station wagon with Marge, her beehive towering, Bart, Maggie in an orange snowsuit with a pacifier, and a grey-violet-haired sister of Marge's crowded in the back. The car, piled with suitcases and luggage on its roof rack, climbs a snowy mountainside road past pine trees, passing a wooden sign reading 'MT. USEFUL STRATEGIC GRANITE RESERVE' before continuing up a steep snowy slope under a blue sky.

No recognizable Simpsons characters are visible; this is an animated snowy parking lot lined with colorful cars, bare trees and evergreens. A red station wagon loaded with luggage on its roof, with a figure visible through its windows, drives up from the left-center and swerves across the snow through the lot, leaving tire tracks, and continues toward the upper area. Its path curves around parked cars, and in the final moment it moves down into the lower right, passing a grey van and a green car. No on-screen text is visible.

It comes to a stop near the middle of the lot, and a bald, heavy man in a lavender shirt stands at its front while Marge with her tall blue beehive, Lisa in her red dress, Bart in his orange shirt and baby Maggie gather around the car. Nearby stand a grey-violet Beetle, a light blue sedan, a green van and a tan van.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and baby Maggie in her arms, walks through the snow with Bart and Lisa, while Homer in a purple jacket and green backpack follows among a line of bundled hikers wearing backpacks. The group heads toward a wooden platform in a snowy mountain setting with pine trees, where Mr. Burns, a frail stooped old man in a dark cap, gestures with one hand while Smithers, in a suit and glasses, stands beside a lectern. The hikers gather in a crowd in front of the platform as Lisa moves to the front of the group and Marge and Homer stand facing the speaker, and a wooden table with benches sits at the upper left.

> All right, let me start off by telling you this will not be a walk in the park.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, wears a dark brown cap, green scarf, dark coat and purple mittens while standing in a snowy mountain landscape with evergreen trees under a blue sky. He speaks sternly, gesturing with one mittened hand, and his expression shifts from scowling to wide-eyed unease. In the final frame, Homer, bald and heavy with stubble, in a purple jacket and red knit cap with a green backpack, stands with Marge, whose tall blue beehive rises above her, holding Maggie, the baby with a pacifier, in an orange outfit. Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair in an orange coat, and Bart, the boy with spiky hair in a red jacket, stand beside them in the snow while Homer looks anxious.

> This will be the most arduous and back-breaking weekend of your life.
> I cannot overemphasize the dangers which...

> Uh, yes, sir.
> I thought I was supposed to.

He holds up a purple mitten-covered hand and scowls with his mouth open, his hand gesturing forward and then sitting in a near-static pose across the moment. The movement is slight, with his gesturing hand shifting slightly and his mouth opening and closing as he speaks.

In the final moments the ranger raises a hand in a gesture while Bart and the others look up at him, with Maggie still held in Marge's arms.

> We can have lots of fun.
> I'm afraid that's no longer true, ma'am.

He gestures with his yellow hands, first pointing and then spreading one palm outward while speaking, and his expression shifts from a sly sideways glance to an open-mouthed, eyes-closed talk. He then flicks his hands in front of his chest, glancing sideways with a smirk, and finally scowls with his mouth open and teeth showing. A small white cloud sits at the left edge of the sky.

> And to show that I'm not playing favorites, both Smithers and I will be participating.

Mr. Burns, in a black beret and green scarf, and his thin assistant Smithers, in glasses and a grey vest, stand together in a close-up, with Smithers reading a slip of paper while Burns clasps his hands and frowns. Wider views show a large crowd of children in colorful backpacks standing on snowy ground around a long wooden platform where two figures stand, one holding a bag, under snowy mountains and pine trees. The crowd stays mostly still across these views while the focus moves from the platform to the close-up of Burns and Smithers.

Homer, the bald, heavy man with stubble, wears a red knit beanie with a pompom and a purple fuzzy coat over a red collar, standing outdoors in a snowy landscape with evergreen trees and mountains behind him. He looks off to the side with wide eyes, then turns his head and opens his mouth to speak, his expression anxious. The snowy ground and pine trees fill the background throughout the clip.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose, grey hair at the sides, a dark cap and a green scarf, stands beside an unnamed bespectacled man in a green vest over an orange shirt, who holds a dark hat and a small slip of paper. On a snowy hillside dotted with evergreen trees under a blue sky, Burns gestures with an open hand and talks while the man looks at him and then at the paper. The man then turns his attention to the paper alone, still holding the hat, as Burns steps out of view.

> Sir, this can't be right. You assured me this drawing was rigged so we'd be teammates.

He looks down at a small slip of paper in his other hand, raises it toward his face and studies it with a frown, then glances up with his mouth open as if speaking. He keeps the paper and hat in his hands as he looks off to the side.

Burns waves a revolver, walks along the line with the gun raised, and then fires, a puff of smoke rising from the barrel. He sinks into a hole in the snow as red streaks spread across the white ground along the red line.

Homer, bald and heavy in a red shirt, and a thin grey-haired old man in a red shirt and blue pants, sit reclined in green wooden chairs with their feet up on a low wooden table in a log cabin lounge. The old man, who has a hooked nose, is Mr. Burns. Beside the fireplace on the left, a banner reading CONGRATULATIONS TEAMWORKERS hangs on the wooden wall, while the table holds champagne bottles in an ice bucket, a blue bowl, a punch bowl, and platters of food. Over the moments, the old man lifts a champagne bottle toward his mouth while Homer leans back and stays relaxed in his chair, with the fire glowing and the lamp on the mantel steady.

> I don't suppose the others will mind us starting the party early, homie old boy.
> More champagne.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, and Homer, the bald, heavy man in a red sweater, sit side by side in green-cushioned wooden log chairs in a log cabin. Burns holds a small bottle and a glass with his feet propped on a wooden coffee table, where a plate of sandwiches and small cups sits in the corner. Over the moment, Burns sips from his drink and raises the bottle, while Homer shifts in his chair, looks sideways, and then laughs with his mouth wide open before both settle back and sit at ease.

> You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know.
> Way richer than Lenny.
> Oh, yes.
> But I'd trade it all for a little more.
> Oh, these sure are comfortable chairs. Oh, yes, sitting.

Burns smiles and raises a bottle with a partly visible label reading "AGNE" while a glass rests at the bottom edge, and Homer stares wide-eyed before glancing sideways with a skeptical look and opening his mouth to speak. Burns then settles back with a half-lidded, smirking expression as the two remain seated in the cozy room.

Homer, in a red knit hat and purple jacket, stands at night beside a snowman with red coal eyes, while Mr. Burns, thin and stooped in a dark hat and green scarf with maroon mittens, stands at the right against a blue wooden wall with patches of snow. Burns raises a mittened hand to his chin and grins, then speaks with his mouth open and his hands clasped in front of him, while Homer stays still and watches him. The scene is a snowy outdoor setting with a snowman on the left and the same positions held throughout.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a red knit hat and lavender jacket, stands on the left and Mr. Burns, thin and stooped in a dark hat, green scarf and maroon mittens, stands on the right, the two talking inside a blue log cabin flanked by plain white snowmen. They stay in place as they speak, Burns raising a mitten at one point, and then the scene shows the two snowmen dressed: the left one wears a red knit hat, a lavender jacket and an orange scarf with a carrot nose, while the right one wears a black hat, a green scarf and a purple vest tied with a rope belt.

> Well, we've managed to stave off Cabin Viva for a few hours.
> I, uh, I think we should dress the snowmen.

Homer Simpson, in a green cape over white briefs, and Mr. Burns, frail and stooped in red pajamas with a brown robe, stand on a snowy wooden deck at night in front of a blue plank wall. Homer grips the cape at his collar and glances sideways while Burns scowls with his arms folded, and both keep facing two seated snowmen, one with dark hair, a green scarf and a toothy grin, the other larger with a red knit hat and red sweater. The snowmen stay still as the two men continue their tense standoff.

> Look at them, smug and secure in their finery.
> Mocking us. Uh, they're just snowmen, Mr.

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and blue-grey hair at the sides, and Homer, the bald heavy man in a green sweater, stand against a dark blue wooden wall at night. Burns grips his collar and grimaces, then gapes with his hands at his chin while Homer clutches his sweater and stares nervously to the side. The scene closes on a close-up of Homer's bald head and wide white eyes, glancing sideways under the dim blue light.

Carl, a Black man in a green jacket, stands at the left of a crowded wooden bar with Bart and Lisa Simpson near the table, while Grampa sits at the table with a glass and a man in a blue jacket at lower right raises a drink to his mouth. Two uniformed police officers stand in the open doorway at the back, and the officer in front stands with his hands on his hips while a man in an orange jacket raises a bottle near the top left. Across the scene the drinks are sipped and raised, and the officers remain in the doorway, with a bottle and a glass on the table.

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive, stands in a green ranger-style uniform with a tree badge beside a ranger in a campaign hat and green uniform in front of a wooden door. A drunk man in an orange jacket and fur-trimmed cap holds out a green bottle, and the ranger takes it. The drunk leans in while the ranger accepts the bottle, and then a second ranger with glasses steps into the doorway, pointing as the drunk stands between the two rangers. A third ranger in a hat stands on the right, while Marge watches from the background.

Bart and Lisa stand with a crowd of townspeople in a wood-paneled cabin with a wall map and a desk, while a man in a red shirt and green cap and a dark-skinned man in a green jacket look on. Two green-uniformed park rangers in wide-brimmed hats stand beside a window with a woman in a blue beret and striped green sweater, and one ranger points at the glass. Outside the window, a snowy mountain and pine trees are visible under a blue sky.

Marge with her tall blue beehive, Bart and baby Maggie stand at a wooden counter in a log cabin ranger station, while a bald man in a blue vest looks on and a ranger in a flat-brimmed hat stands behind them. In the foreground a ranger in a green uniform with a tree-emblem patch runs his hands along a long sheet of seismograph chart paper spooling from a grey machine with dials and switches. The camera-free scene then cuts to a close-up of the hatted ranger by a window showing snowy blue daylight, who glances sideways and speaks while the chart paper and tree-emblem badge remain in view.

Bart, Lisa and Marge stand by a stone fireplace in a dim wooden room, with Lisa gripping Marge's arm and Marge raising her hands to her face with her mouth open in alarm. The scene then shifts to a snowy, blue-tinted room where an old man in a brown coat, likely Mr. Burns, sits with red gloves beside Homer, who is wrapped in a green blanket. Burns, with a hooked nose and a scowl, pulls at his coat while Homer stares ahead anxiously, with a pink object visible on the floor below.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and bluish-grey hair at the sides in a dark coat, leans toward Homer, who sits cross-legged on an icy wooden floor wrapped in a green blanket and clutching it at his chest. Beneath a torn banner reading partly "CONGRA..." and "TEAMW...", Burns's breath steams in the cold blue setting as he glances sideways at Homer, who stares back with wide, wary eyes and shivers, and the scene holds on the two of them.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits wrapped in a brown cape and red pants on a wooden floor of a blue-lit log cabin, with a pale blue ghostly figure beside him. Homer, bald and heavy with stubble, sits in the foreground wrapped in a green blanket, clutching it at his chest and wincing, then squinting and scowling with narrowed eyes as he looks toward Burns. Burns stares forward with wide eyes and a worried expression, and a small purple object sits in the bottom-left corner beside a window with frosted panes.

> Look at his eyes. He's trying to hypnotize me, but not in the good Las Vegas way.

Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, lies under a blanket and scowls, gripping the cover with a yellow hand. He then crouches with a pitchfork beside a bald Homer, who is wrapped in a green cloak, in a blue icy stone chamber with a stone fireplace. Homer glares back under a partly visible sign reading "CONGRAT" and "AMWO".

Mr. Burns, a frail, thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, wears red pajamas and grips a wooden cane-like staff while facing Homer, who stands in white briefs and a green cape. Homer first clasps his hands together and looks alarmed, then raises a finger and backs up, before standing with his arms at his sides and a stern expression as translucent ghostly figures appear behind him, including a top-hatted man, a figure in an Egyptian headdress, and a bald man with glasses holding a cigar. The scene is set on a dark blue wooden platform, with a partly visible banner reading "TEAMW" in the background.

Translucent, ghostly figures drift past them, including a tall man in a top hat and grey suit who pulls a chain held by a bald man in a cap and a man with glasses at the lower right. Burns grips a cane and swings it toward Homer, who raises his hands and scowls, while the whole scene is tinted blue with spectral overlays.

Homer then raises his arms to his head, grimacing and squinting, with a green scarf around his neck, while a glass lies tilted on the floor nearby. Burns raises the golden rod above his head and strikes against the blue log wall, then leans over Homer and presses a hand on Homer's bare belly while Homer's head rests against a round teal object. The scene is a dim, snowy blue cabin interior.

Homer, in white briefs and a green scarf, lies against a large grey rocket in a dark blue night, first clutching his head with both arms and grimacing, then covering his face with his hands. Homer and Grampa, in red pajamas with white tufts of hair, cling together in a log cabin with a stone fireplace, then the rocket's orange flames blast through the cabin wall. The snow-roofed log cabin is sent sliding down a snowy slope, trailing fire and a cloud of snow.

A park ranger in a green uniform and wide-brim hat with a tree badge stands before them, first gesturing with both hands while talking to the group, then leaning toward the children as they look up and sideways at him. In the last moments he lifts a dark object in one hand while the crowd waits in the snow, with a shovel and a pickaxe among the group's gear.

Bart and Lisa Simpson stand in a snowy field as a man in a green parka and black hat, who is not a named regular, speaks to them, then Bart rests a hand on Lisa's shoulder. Lisa turns and runs away across the snow toward a snow-capped mountain ringed by pine trees, while a small dark object sits on the slope below. Soon after, a log cabin in the snowy woods is hit by a blast of orange flame from the right, and the cabin begins to tip and slide.

A brown-haired man in a fur-lined cap and blue turtleneck with a backpack stands on a snowy hill, looking toward a log cabin with snow on its roof. Homer, bald and yellow, and Grampa, in a red scarf with white hair, peer from the cabin's two front windows as a glowing orange light flares at one side. A large dark round object then crashes into the cabin's side wall, which is split by the impact, while a smaller cabin with dark figures stands in the distance. The scene ends with a high overhead view of the snowy cabin, Homer and Grampa in its windows, and a line of small townspeople standing in the snow nearby.

Marge in a green sweater and blue beehive grabs at Homer's towel as Lisa looks on at the right edge, and the blue-shuttered log cabin with its door swinging open stays in view throughout. The moment begins with the empty cabin door in the snow, then Homer appears, the others follow, and Marge reaches in to tug at him.

Burns grimaces and fidgets with his shawl while the man, wearing brown gloves, reaches out toward him, and then Burns turns his wide-eyed gaze outward as the man keeps watching. The scene then widens to a crowd of bundled-up people in winter hats and scarves, including a bald, stubbled Homer with a green scarf, who look on as Burns speaks to them with the vested man in the foreground.
