The scene opens on black, then drifts through blue sky and puffy clouds to the title card reading "THE SIMPSONS" in yellow letters. The view then settles on the driveway, with a red mailbox on the lawn, a garage with boxes and a bicycle inside, and a brick wall at the side. Bart stands on the car roof while Homer bends over the open hood.

The scene ends on a blue-screened television in the pink room, first showing yellow text reading "Created by Matt Groening" and then "Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon."

Earlier, a yellow school bus with a driver with long curly black hair (Otto) pulls up beside a building where children climb the steps, and the woman reaches for the door handle while the group crowds behind her. The scene ends in a close-up of the woman with a tall reddish-orange hairdo glancing sideways, with on-screen credits reading "Co-Executive Producer GEORGE MEYER" and "MIKE SCULLY" over the lower part of the image. > Hello? > We're here for the field trip?

He lifts the device to his mouth, then crouches at a wooden door to pick up a key from a purple doormat while the woman stands holding the mug. He then walks into a purple-carpeted office with a green desk and blue filing cabinet as the caption 'Supervising Producer JONATHAN COLLIER' appears across the bottom. > Sorry, sorry. > Boy, it's getting harder and harder to make it here by ten. > Ahem. > We'll start the tour in a second. I've just got to check the answering machine.

He then turns and walks across a tiled floor toward a door as a line of children with spiky and bobbed hair follows behind him. He gestures toward the open doorway as the children gather around, and white on-screen credits for Ken Keeler, David S. Cohen and Richard Appel appear along the bottom. > Ugh, can't anybody in this town take the lawn to their own hands? > Gather round, kids. We're about to enter the museum. > Oh, no. Mid of crime.

Nearby, Chief Wiggum in his blue police cap and uniform speaks by a window with white blinds, looking sideways. The crowd first stands with mouths open and wide eyes, then raises their arms and cheers together, with Bart and Milhouse waving their hands in the air as Wiggum's head turns.

He gestures with his hands and then looks on as a figure with a guitar, first a dark silhouette and then a long-haired, orange-haired hippie woman in a pink patterned shirt and sunglasses, plays under a hanging lamp. Psychedelic posters hang on the wall behind her, and the children stand watching from the foreground. > Now, what I am about to show you next may shock and educate you. > Hold on to your values as we step through the looking glass into a hippie pot party. > While Johnny Welfare plays acid rock on a stolen guitar, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/66733.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/71947 ## 1:18–1:29 Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief in uniform, stands before a crowd of children including Bart in his orange shirt, while a long-haired hippie woman in a headband and bell-bottoms holds up a cheeseburger and a red-haired hippie man in a green beanie and pink shirt strums an acoustic guitar with a joint in his mouth. They perform on a spotlit stage behind yellow 'Police Line Do Not Cross' tape, with posters reading 'Off the Fuzz' and 'Pot Rebellion' on the wall. The woman raises the burger higher as Wiggum clenches his fists and gestures, and the on-screen credit 'Produced by Richard Raynis' appears over the scene. > his old lady has a better idea. > That's right. > She's got the munchies for a California cheeseburger.

The scene then cuts to the exterior of a yellow two-story school with purple columns, arched windows, shrubs and an American flag on a pole out front, with a small sign above the entrance whose text is not legible. The flag ripples slightly in the breeze while the building stays still. > So the next time you're walking on the beach, enjoying an hourglass, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/90299.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/91550 ## 1:33–1:40 Lisa Simpson rests her chin in her hands at a classroom desk, looking bored, while a woman with glasses, a white blouse and a red skirt stands with her arms crossed beside a projector whose reels turn and throw a beam across the room. A small wide-eyed boy sits nearby and a blonde girl in a teal top slumps at the left edge; the beam flickers off and back on as white credits appear, first reading 'Produced by Richard Sakai Denise Sirkot' and then 'Written by Richard Appel'. > or making cheap, low-grade windshields.

Lisa, with star-shaped spiky hair and a red dress, sits at her desk with her chin propped in her hands and a bored expression, while a small blond boy in a blue sweater and another student watch nearby. The projector beam sweeps across Mrs. Krabappel and then disappears, and the white caption "Directed by MIKE B. ANDERSON" appears over the lower middle of the scene before fading out. > Think where we'd be without sand. > Sand! Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/101977.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/104479 ## 1:48–2:00 Lisa Simpson, seen from behind with her spiky hair, sits in the front row of a classroom facing a screen showing sand-like shapes, while a boy with brown hair and a curly-haired girl sit nearby. The teacher, Miss Hoover, a woman with a brown bob, glasses and a white blouse with a red bow, points at a light switch by a first aid poster, then stands at the wall and later works a film projector with large reels. Finally she holds a reel up beside a blond boy's head as Lisa raises her hand, and the American flag and a chalkboard are visible behind the desks. > Okay, that was the sand movie. > Now it'll just take me a second to set up our next movie. > Oh, Miss Hoover, movies are a nice break, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/109067.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/114281 ## 2:00–2:10 Lisa Simpson sits slumped at her wooden desk in a classroom, chin propped on her hand and looking bored, while a woman with a short auburn bob and glasses, in a white blouse and red skirt, works a film projector on a blue cart beside the green lockers. The projector's light beam shines across the room, and the screen at the front shows a white title card reading "MONOTONE PICTURES Presents" with the date 1952, as the seated students watch with dull expressions. > but couldn't we be doing something a little more challenging? > Probably.

The first frame shows the title card 'The Moon of Earth' in white block letters over a large white moon, with a white rocket ship at lower left against a dark starry background and the small text 'Copyright 1952 by ... Pictures' at the bottom right. The title fades into a black starfield where a cratered papier-mache-looking moon hangs by a thin string from the top of the screen, with a small ringed planet at lower left and four-pointed sparkling stars around it. Across the following frames the hanging moon sways slightly and the string shifts position while the planet and stars stay fixed in place. > The moon. > For several years, she has fascinated many. > But will man ever walk on her fertile surface? > Democratic hopeful Adlai Stevenson says so.

Several men in fedora hats with press cards in their hatbands sit or stand in the foreground, facing him. The seated man keeps his hands clasped and speaks, then the reporters in the foreground raise their hands and pencils, and one holds up a flash-lit camera with a bright burst of light beside him as the others lean forward. Nothing on screen is legible as text beyond the press cards. > I have no objection to man walking on the moon. > By 1964, experts say man will have established 12 colonies on the moon.

A young boy in a striped shirt stands at the left edge, then a woman in a sleeveless dress and bob hairdo watches a girl and a boy in a striped shirt as the boy tosses a ball to the girl. Next, the woman in the sleeveless dress stands with hands on hips beside a row of three vending-style machines, one of which she pulls a lever on while coins drop out. Then a man in a hat sits at the edge of a crater-like pool, fishing with a rod. Finally, he is joined by a grinning green alien woman with antennae in a bikini-like outfit, who sits on the rod and laughs as he reels in his line. Thin vertical lines and a dark round planet appear in the upper right. > Ideal for family vacations. > Once there, you'll weigh only a small percentage of what you weigh on Earth.

Before this, a white EARTH / MOON WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART shows earth weight near 180 and moon weight near 35, marked ©1952, U.S. Department of Moon. > Slow down, Tubby. > You're not on the moon yet. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/159117.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/162663 ## 2:47–2:56 A grey, cratered moon hangs against a starry black sky in a black-and-white animated sequence, then a waving American flag on a pole appears and dissolves into the view. The flag fades in and out over the moon-era imagery, and it settles into a clear flag on a pole. Three spacesuited astronauts stand in front of the flag, the leftmost wearing glasses, and the scene is shown on a projector screen in a classroom. In the foreground, Lisa with her star-shaped spiky hair sits at a desk facing the screen, flanked by a small boy with spiky hair at left and a girl with curly dark hair at right, while the chalkboard above shows faint lettering. > The moon belongs to America and anxiously awaits the arrival of our astro > -man. > Will you be among them?

The screen goes blank, and a blond boy in a blue shirt raises his hand. The group then crowds at a purple-framed window of the orange building, looking out at the outside, while the blond boy in a white shirt leans on the sill beside them. > Miss Hoover, the movie's over. > Where's Miss Hoover? > Hey, her car's gone. > Maybe she drove to the moon.

The camera-free scene opens on a door labeled PRINCIPAL SKINNER, then the principal searches the cabinet as Lisa sits with a pained, uneasy expression beside a potted plant, bookshelves, a framed picture of the school, and a desk with a small black device. Lisa's wide-eyed, grimacing face and fidgeting posture suggest her frustration as she is waiting. > It's not my nature to complain, but so far today, we've had three movies, > two film strips, and an hour and a half of magazine time. > Ugh, I just don't feel challenged.

He grimaces, glances sideways, and gestures with one hand as he talks, with a pen resting on the desk. The scene then shifts to Lisa alone at a desk in front of a potted palm and bookshelves, with a pen holder and a small yellow block on the desk, where she sits with half-lidded eyes and a bored, sullen expression. > Of course we could make things more challenging, Lisa, > but then the stupider students would be in here complaining, > furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand the situation. > We're now in the communications room, or the comm room.

He talks to the group, raises a hand in a gesture, and then points toward the children, who stand listening in front of him. A wall map, a microphone on the radio, and a black bag on the desk are visible, and there is no on-screen text. > Uh, this is a police radio, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/213338.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/214172 ## 3:36–3:47 Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief in a blue uniform and cap, stands in a police station comroo in front of a wall map and a blue radio console. He stands with his hands on the desk at first, then raises one finger while speaking, and later he lifts a hand to point at the panel covered in stickers, including banana stickers. The console shows a red light, a speaker grille, dials, and a cluster of colorful stickers, and the map with red and blue route lines stays on the wall behind him. > the single most important piece of equipment in the comroo. > As you can see, some of the boys like to put their banana stickers all over it.

The scene then shifts to Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief in uniform, standing before a wall map and desk, first with his hands on his hips and then with his arms folded and his teeth gritted. > Uh, there's Chiquita, there's Del Monte, there's a Bananco, Gorilla's Choice. > Now, uh, everyone follow me to my chair, > where I just need to get off my feet for a few minutes.

The group then files through the doorway, leaving the room empty except for a grey bin holding a banana peel. Bart, in his orange shirt and blue shorts, is left alone in a side room, staring at a wall of white dish-shaped devices with orange rims beside a green table of walkie-talkies. > Oh, I won't be getting up here.

He reaches up to take one down, then holds a megaphone to his mouth with both hands while looking to the side. He lowers it and grips a second megaphone in his other hand, holding one megaphone at his hip and the other at his side. A wall electrical outlet sits near the bottom right of the wall. > Testing. > Hmm.

At first he sits with a megaphone tucked under his arm and looks to the side, then he lifts two megaphones in his hands, grins with half-closed eyes, and finally holds them up with wide eyes and an open mouth as if reacting with surprise. > Ha-ha Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/253795.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/256923 ## 4:21–4:31 Bart Simpson, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt, stands in a room with a tiled floor, a wall map, a window and a chair, and steps up to a long row of white-and-red megaphones mounted on the wall. He first leans in and shouts into one megaphone, then plays with the megaphones at close range, and finally grins and pushes a large stacked megaphone toward the viewer while he stands by a bookshelf holding a coffee mug. Chairs, a waste bin with a banana peel, and a wall map are visible in the background. > Ssss!

A yellow Springfield Elementary School bus with children inside sits at the curb in front of the school. Then the Pet Shop at 1917 appears, and its front window shatters as a green parrot bursts through amid caged parrots, with glass scattered across the sidewalk and the door's glass broken. > Testing.

Later, Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a white shirt and blue pants, opens a green refrigerator stocked with red-labelled bottles, then grabs a brown bottle from a counter lined with bottles that have blue caps. In the kitchen he flails and shouts with a bottle in hand as chairs tumble, a large blue sheet bulges across the floor, and water splashes across the checkered tiles. > Oh, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/286536.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/290916 ## 4:56–5:09 Chief Wiggum, Bart, Lisa, Maggie held by Marge, and Homer gather in the pink living room of the Simpson house, where Wiggum sits in a green armchair with his arms crossed while Homer points an accusing finger at Bart. The scene opens on the house from outside, with a white police car parked on the street beside the pink family car, and ends with Wiggum glancing at the watch on his wrist. Framed pictures, lamps, and a red sofa fill the room. > You really did it this time, Bart. > You're in for the punishment of a lifetime. > When do you expect the ringing will stop? > In about 10 to 15 seconds. I certainly hope so!

Maggie, the baby with a blue bow and pacifier, sits in a green high chair at the right edge, first holding her pacifier out in one hand and then sucking on it with her eyes half-lidded, while bookshelves stand behind them. > That's better. > Now, about your punishment, young man.

Homer leans toward Bart with a scowl, and his finger points at him in the middle frames. In the final frames Homer extends his arm to point off-screen to the left while Bart looks up at him, with Marge and Maggie looking on. Framed pictures of Lisa and Maggie hang on the pink wall, and a red lamp and a shelf with decorations sit at the right. > I know. > I'll go to my room and think about what I did. > No, no. > Your room is full of toys. You're going to the garage. > You're the boss.

Across the moment Wiggum shifts in his seat, lifts his hands, and at the end extends one open hand toward the family, while they stay seated and watch him. A framed painting hangs on the wall, and a large window with yellow curtains shows a house outside. > I tell you, Chief, I just don't know what we're going to do with him. > You know, you do have options. > For example, there are behavior-modifying drugs. > How wedded are you to the Bart you know?

Beside him on a maroon couch, Marge with her tall blue beehive holds Maggie, who sucks a pacifier and wears a blue bow, while Homer in a white shirt sits next to them under a framed painting and a red lamp. Marge raises one hand as if gesturing, then grimaces with clenched teeth while Homer stays still with wide eyes. > Not very. > No, no drugs. > Bart just needs a little discipline.

Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief in his blue uniform and cap, sits in a green armchair by the brick fireplace and trophy shelf, raising a finger as he talks in the first frames and then folding his arms. In the later frames the family's expressions shift as Marge speaks with her mouth open while the others stare ahead, and a framed portrait hangs on the pink wall beside the red lamp. > Hey, what about military school? > It set my brother straight. > Now he owns and operates a famous cave. > Hmm, you know, maybe Chief Wickham is right. > Military school is a good idea.

Two white police cars with flashing red lights and 911 on their doors pull up outside the tan two-story house, which is then shown empty with its garage door closed. Bart, in an orange shirt and blue shorts, runs down the driveway carrying a large brown suitcase and loads it into the open trunk of a pink car.

Through the car windows the view passes houses, trees, and a blue sky, and then the car stops at a suburban house where a man in a blue suit and a woman in a green top and blue skirt sit in lawn chairs by a garage, both cheering with their arms raised and the man holding up small white items. Beside them are a picnic basket with a checked cloth and a potted plant on a tripod stand. > Wow, I can't believe we're going to Disneyland. > Hey, where's all your luggage? > Hooray!

On the left is a man in a blue suit and pink tie, and on the right is a woman with a tall orange-brown bouffant hairdo and a green cardigan over a yellow top; this pair resembles Principal Skinner and Edna Krabappel-type neighbors, but as described they are a suited man and a woman in green. The man holds a rolled paper with a small yellow bow, then lifts a green wine bottle and pours it into the two stemmed glasses held by the pair. The woman gestures with open hands and then rests a hand on her chest while smiling and tearing up, and a silver ice bucket on a stand sits beside them. > You dream about this day for so long, then when it comes, you don't know what to say. > Edna, your tears say more than words ever could.

Homer Simpson, bald and in a white shirt, grips the steering wheel with a wide-eyed, strained grimace, while Marge, with her tall blue beehive and seatbelt across her, sits beside him. Lisa and Maggie, the baby with a pacifier and blue bow, sit in the back seat, and blue sky and utility wires show through the windshield. > Military school? > You lied to me! > I'm sorry if you heard Disneyland, but I distinctly said military school.

The guard points ahead while the iron gate stands open, and the car drives through and follows the curving road past green lawns, hedges, and a golden rearing-horse statue toward a large yellow mansion with a clock tower. > And that's how we'll mold your boy into a productive member of society through an Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/404154.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/407282 ## 6:51–6:59 A grey-haired man in a blue military dress uniform with a cap tucked under his arm leads the Simpson family along an outdoor colonnaded walkway: Bart in his orange shirt and Lisa in her red dress walk in front, followed by Homer in his white shirt and Marge with her tall blue beehive, holding Maggie. As they march forward past the columns, a small white cloud appears beside the officer's face, and a distant building and fence line sit against the blue sky. > intensive program of push-ups and formation marching. > Well, it certainly was nice of you to accept Bart in the middle of the semester.

They first walk together, then stop in a row while the uniformed man turns to face them, gesturing with one hand as he speaks. Bart and Lisa look up at him while Homer and Marge stand watching, and a yellow vehicle drives past in the background. > Fortunately, we've had a couple of recent freak-outs, so that freed up a couple of bunks.

A row of uniformed students in white shirts and blue trousers stands at attention in front of the building, while a stern officer in a blue cap and uniform waits before them. The scene moves from Homer and Bart to the whole family standing together, and the students remain motionless throughout. > If, uh, that happens, are we still charged for the entire semester? > Our high standards challenge students to reach their full potential. > Look at how disciplined they are. They're just like the terracotta warriors of Xi'an.

Homer then stands with his back to us on a street, facing a long line of uniformed children in white shirts and blue pants marching past a guard tower, and he gestures with an outstretched arm while his expression shifts from a grimace to a frown. The scene shows the family lined up in front of their home, followed by Homer watching the marching rows, with a guard tower and a small house in the background. > They sure are. > That's not so disciplined. > They're just children, Mr. Simpson.

A tight close-up follows Lisa, with her star-shaped hair and red dress and pearl necklace, who first smiles with a sly, sideways look and then grimaces with her mouth pulled down and eyes glancing aside. The classroom has a US map on the wall, a chalkboard on the right, a red cross sign by the door and a wastebasket near the desk. > I guess. > Truth is beauty! Beauty truth, sir! > They're discussing poetry. > Oh, we never do that at my school.

Later, Homer and Bart walk down the front steps of a large white house with tall columns, Homer with his hand on Bart's shoulder while Bart drags his feet and Marge and Lisa stand at the bottom right. In the earlier classroom scene, a stocky man in a light blue shirt stands facing a grey-haired man in an officer's uniform with arms crossed, who gestures with one hand beside a chalkboard reading "ENGLISH LITERATURE- JOHN KEATS (CIVILIAN)- "ODE ON A GRECIAN URN"" and a green toy tank on the desk. > But the truth can be harsh and disturbing. > How can that be considered beautiful? > I sure sucked the fun out of that poem. > Please don't make me stay dead.

Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair in a red dress and pearl necklace, stands arms crossed with a sullen look, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, stands at the right. Homer then lets go and stands with his arms partly raised while Lisa lifts a hand as if to speak and Bart looks up at his father. > Zod, for the last time, you're staying at military school. > And so am I. > This school has everything I ever wanted.

In the first frame Lisa stands at left while Marge gestures toward Maggie, and Homer and Bart later join them, with Bart standing on the road near a sculpted horse statue. Over the following frames Bart walks down toward the group and then moves behind a yellow-green jeep that pulls up in front of the family, and by the final frame the jeep has driven off to the left, leaving Bart on the steps while Homer, Marge with Maggie, and Lisa stand waiting. > Lisa, no. No! This place is just a jail for children. > No jail can hold me!

Behind a wooden desk, a grey-haired man in a dark blue military-style uniform with a tie sits in a green chair, hands clasped, and speaks to them. The first frame is black, and in the following frames he keeps talking, leaning slightly and looking at the family while they remain seated and still. > Alright, let's go over this one more time just to make sure I understand the situation. > You're a girl. > Yes.

He turns to stand by a window with teal curtains, one hand at his chin and the other behind his back, then faces the room with his hands clasped and speaks. A close-up shows Lisa with wide eyes and an open mouth, wearing a pearl necklace and an orange skirt in front of a red upholstered chair. > Oh, gosh darn it. I just don't understand the situation. > You're a girl? > All I want is a chance to prove myself.

As the scene continues he glances sideways and grimaces, then turns his head and speaks while the cadets keep marching in the rain. The scene then cuts to Lisa, with her star-shaped spiky hair and a white pearl necklace, looking sideways in front of a red couch. > Hmm. > In our 185 years, we have never had a female cadet. > But that seems to be the way the wind is blowing these days.

He turns his head and speaks, then looks out again as a single small figure crosses the lawn. In the final moment he strides across a room with an American flag while Lisa, in an orange dress, stands facing him and Marge's blue beehive, Bart's spiky hair and Homer's bald head are visible on a couch at the right. > After all, we have female singers, female motorists. > Welcome aboard.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive, holds baby Maggie in a blue bow and pacifier while Lisa and Bart, in an orange shirt, stand nearby beside a globe and a painting of a cannon. Marge then turns to face Lisa, and Bart, mouth open, gets pushed back by Marge's arm as he raises his hand. > Lisa, if you ever want to quit and come home, I'll be here in half a jiff. > I want to quit and come home.

Homer leans out from the back of the car while Marge stands beside it, then Marge hugs Bart on the steps as Lisa waits nearby. Bart and Lisa, in white shirts and blue pants, walk down the steps and stand at the car's side, with Marge leaning out of the window and waving. The final shot shows Bart and Lisa, seen from behind, looking at a green equestrian statue of a rider on a rearing horse, set on a brown pedestal in a landscaped park with a white gate and trees. > I want to quit and come home. Oh, honey, I heard you the first time.

Several other boys in white shirts and blue pants sit on the bunks, then all rise and stand in two rows along the room as the uniformed man stands at the front, with Bart and Lisa beside him near the open doorway. Fluorescent ceiling lights and a green exit sign hang above the room. > Attend hut.

A young Black cadet stands behind the officer and a dark-haired cadet with his back to the viewer faces him. The officer walks forward and then stands still while still speaking, and the scene then cuts to a reddish-haired cadet with glasses, standing with a tense grimace between two blue footlockers. > Gentlemen, we now have a girl cadet among our ranks, > so we're gonna have to make a few changes. > First of all, Franklin, you are no longer the girlie's cadet here. > Well, we'll see about that.

He stands rigid at first, then grimaces and speaks with his mouth open, and by the last moment he raises a clenched fist while the recruits, including a red-haired one and a dark-haired one, look on. Beds and a window are visible along the pale green walls. > Second, this is now the girls' barracks, so pack your things. > You're moving in with Company L. Company L? > But they smell! > Yes, we've all heard the chant... Now fall out! > Sorry, sorry.

One boy with blond hair and another with dark, smooth hair walk through the doorway and along the wall, and the boys then carry their bags out of a tan wooden building onto a porch and down a path toward a lawn. > I know we'll be friends. > Talk about getting off on the wrong foot. > I can't believe they let a girl in. Don't worry.

They glance sideways and talk, the left man with his mouth open and the right man scowling, with a close-up showing the right man speaking. The scene then cuts to a wide view of a rainy schoolyard in front of a tan brick building, where a group of children in orange raincoats and hoods huddles on a wet circular drive, with two smaller figures standing near the middle. > We'll drive her out of the academy. > That is why God created hazing.

A row of boys in orange hooded raincoats stands over them, watching, and one of them with his mouth open looks as if he is shouting. Lisa's head droops and she looks miserable, while Bart stays bent low in the mud as the boys' jeering stares continue in the downpour. > What's the matter? Don't girls like doing push-ups in the mud?

Over the moment Lisa looks up with a pained, dejected expression, then lowers her head while the boys stare down at her with stern, smirking faces. Rain streaks across the scene under a grey sky. > Is there any answer I can give that won't result in more push-ups? > No. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/616032.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/619786 ## 10:24–10:33 Bart and Lisa Simpson stand by the base of a large green horse statue in front of a white colonial-style building with a flagpole and a parked purple car. In the first moment Bart, with a red pen, is crouched at the base of the pedestal, then Lisa drops down beside the carved plaque while Bart points at it. The plaque on the brown pedestal reads "I'LL DIE BEFORE I SURRENDER, TIM." Lisa kneels on the road by the plaque, and Bart stands pointing at the inscription, then both stand and face it, with Bart tapping the plaque with a red marker. > Hey, look, it's the school motto. > I'll die before I surrender, Tim. > Who's Tim?

Lisa stays kneeling at the sign with her back mostly to the viewer as Bart steps forward and then stands on the path holding a red object in one hand, glancing toward her with a sullen expression. > Apparently, > Tim was somebody who was with the General moments before he was shot in the head. > Cleaning graffiti off a statue makes a mockery of everything I stand for. > I don't think I can survive here, Lise.

A man with short reddish-brown hair, a grey shirt and blue pants, who looks like Principal Skinner's neat-haired type but is not identified by name here, stands at the left with his mouth open, shouting and gesturing. Lisa and Bart then climb onto the pedestal and scrub the statue's horse, Bart on the rear and Lisa leaning against its flank, while the man stands watching with a stern expression. The sequence ends with the two children standing on the plinth, scrubbing the statue's legs and body while the man looks on from the grass, with a green lawn, trees, and a building with a tower in the background. > But if you just hang in there, they'll eventually accept you. > Get to work!

In the foreground, a short-haired man with brown hair and a stubbled jaw, wearing a badge, checks his wristwatch and then points at it while the other men stand at attention, one of them with blond spiky hair and another with glasses on the left. A small dirt mound with a sign and orange cones sit in the grass in front of the plane. > Okay, that's long enough. > Let's see how they're doing.

A stern, black-haired man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a name tag and a brown-haired man in a white shirt watch from the grass, and the stern man turns and points at the spinning boy while the other stands with hands on his hips. Tall pine trees, low hedges, and yellow tree stumps dot the field. > Had enough? > What say you men? > Has this lowly maggot passed the test? Yeah!

The recruits raise their fists and cheer, then march across the field past a brick building as a spiky-haired child is held up in front of a spinning propeller. The moment ends at a rifle range sign, where recruits lie prone on the grass aiming rifles at distant targets. > You made it! > Hey, what about me?

The man then shoulders a large grey weapon and gestures with it as the boy watches, and the boy is next seen holding the heavy grey launcher with both hands on a green field with orange patches. Only the rack, the weapon, and the fence and trees in the background are visible, with no on-screen text. > I'm going to assume that you're already proficient with small arms, > so we'll start you off with something a little more advanced.

Through the binoculars, the tank is hit and a fiery grey explosion erupts, then the smoke clears to show an empty field. The soldier lowers his binoculars and glances sideways with a stern look while the boy keeps the launcher aimed, its smoke still drifting upward. > Four out of five, Simpson. Impressive. > But you missed your last target.

Bart is next shown in an open grassy field under a blue sky, where a brown-haired uniformed man in a light shirt and blue trousers rests a hand on Bart's shoulder while speaking, and a dark-haired uniformed man stands beside them looking on. > Did I? > Ha ha! > You're a born soldier, Simpson. > Too bad it doesn't run in your family.

As she keeps firing and running, the booth window is hit repeatedly and coins scatter across the grass. Lenny, with spiky black hair, and a brown-haired man in a white shirt and blue pants stand in the foreground pressing their fingers to their ears while Lisa keeps shooting behind them under a blue sky with trees. > Um, could someone help me? > It's stuck on auto fire! > Ah! > Do you hear anything? > No!

She then stands dejectedly over scattered yellow shell casings, and a soldier in green fatigues and a camouflage helmet approaches, holding a rifle and talking with her as she holds a small whistle on a cord. Yellow casings lie along a white painted line on the grass under a bright blue sky with trees and clouds. > Oh, oh. > Maybe you should just learn to use this. > If there's a war, just blow on it and I'll come help you.

The final image shows the Simpson house, a yellow two-story home with a brown roof, arched windows and an orange garage door, on a sunny street. > I am just calling home. > I am not asking to come home.

Over the scene, the dog stays put and watches, then gets up and steps onto the purple-and-blue rug, where a white rag lies, while Homer raises an arm holding a remote. The room has a sailboat painting, a purple lamp, a telephone, and a bag of Krunchy Korns on the floor. > Marge! > You got that? > Marge! > Hey, go on, boy. > Go get it.

Homer shifts the remote from his lap up toward the Duff beer can perched on the couch back, and the Krusty Krunch bag sits on the floor beside the sofa. The pink living room has a sailboat painting, a purple lamp, and a blue telephone on the side table. > Answer the phone. > There's got to be something on this thing for that thing.

Several elderly men, including a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and a bearded old man in white, crowd around a payphone as a woman with red hair and glasses in a pink uniform holds the receiver and another old man in a tan shirt and glasses reaches toward it. The scene ends with Lisa holding the receiver to her ear beside the keypad phone. > Oh. > Simpson. > Hot diggity, I don't care if it's bad news. > Oh, Grandpa, you're not busy, are you? Well, you're really asking two questions there.

He holds the receiver to his ear, first with a steady stare, then gesturing with an open hand, grimacing and clenching his teeth, and finally raising one index finger while speaking, then flinging his free arm out to the side. The scene shows him animatedly talking on the phone as the phone cord hangs down and loops toward the floor. > The first one takes me back to 1934. > Admiral Byrd had just reached the pole, only hours ahead of the Three Stooges.

Then Grampa, a wrinkled old man with white tufts of hair, wearing a pink sweater, grey trousers and red slippers, sits in a dark armchair in a yellow room, speaking into a wall phone beside a window with a painting of trees under an orange sky. He talks, raises one finger, gestures with his free hand, then rests that hand on his knee while still holding the receiver. > And I guess he won the argument, but I walked away with the turnips. > The following morning, I resigned my commission in the Coast Guard. > The next thing I heard, there was civil war in Spain.

He first leans forward and then raises one hand in a gesture, before slumping back into the chair with his eyes half-closed and the phone cord stretched taut. A painting of trees hangs on the wall behind him, its sky shifting from orange to purple, and the green carpet fills the bottom of the room. > And that's everything that happened in my life right up to the time I got this phone > call. Uh-huh. So, anything else you want to talk about? Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/795586.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/799132 ## 13:23–13:37 Lisa stands at a payphone beside a keypad, pressing the receiver to her ear, while Grampa sits slumped in a green armchair in a yellow room, talking on a corded phone and wearing red slippers. He stays on the call and then raises one hand in a gesture as he talks. The scene then shifts to a lounge where a bearded old man reclines in a chair beside a thin, bald man in a red shirt and an elderly woman with a white bun and glasses, with a small round table in front of them. > I'm afraid I'd just be repeating myself, honey. > Anyway, other people need to use the phone. > I've already talked to her for 20 damn minutes. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/804762.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/810601 ## 13:37–13:45 A young girl with spiky yellow hair in a light blue shirt and blue pants first stands at a wall phone in a green hallway, then walks past a wall of brown pigeonholes marked INTEROFFICE and OUTGOING beside a framed portrait of a man in a blue uniform before an American flag. She stops at the MAIL ROOM door, then turns to hold a tan package and smile, and in the final scene a small figure walks along a pale walkway toward a dim blue-lit building with an L emblem and a porch. > Hmm? Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/818318.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/821446 ## 13:45–13:59 Lisa Simpson, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair and a light blue shirt over a black skirt, and Bart Simpson, the boy with spiky hair in a white shirt, stand together in a doorway with dark red frames. In the first moment Lisa is turned away from Bart, reaching for the door handle with her back to the viewer, a tan bag over her shoulder. She then turns to face Bart, who stands with his eyes closed and his mouth open with his hand on his chest, while a fluorescent light and a window show in the bright room behind him. Lisa then holds up a black videocassette toward Bart, who stares wide-eyed, and in the last moments Bart shuts his eyes and grimaces while Lisa keeps offering the tape. > Shh. > What is it? Bart, I got a cassette from Mom and Dad. > I thought we could listen to it together. > Gee, Lisa, I'd love to, but this really isn't a good time. > Bart, who are you talking to?

Bart's eyes are wide and he looks nervous as Lisa glances at him, and in the later images he stares off sideways and his mouth moves as he speaks while Lisa keeps watching him. A man with short brown hair, a white shirt and blue shorts stands with his back to the viewer on the left side of the first image, with his hands on his hips, facing Bart. The final image shifts to a night scene at a dusk-purple sky with clouds, a lake and houses, where Lisa stands near a window frame with a worried expression, still holding the folder. > Uh... Lisa, you're talking to Lisa. > I'm talking to... > No one.

The room goes dark as the lights switch off, leaving only the purple windows visible, and when the lights come back on the man hurries across the room toward a bed where a child lies under a green blanket. > All right, lights out. > Ah, damn it. > Lights on, lights on. > Lights out, lights out.

Bart stares wide-eyed and then pulls the blue blanket up to his chin with his yellow hands, his eyes looking uneasy. Across the room, Lisa Simpson, with her star-shaped spiky hair, sits up on a bed by the windows, lit by pale moonlight falling across the floor, while the trunks and empty beds around them stay still. > Don't worry, sweetie.

She sits quietly with a glum, downcast look, then her mouth opens as she begins to speak, with her eyes narrowing and brow set in a determined expression. Her hands rest on her lap near the dark case throughout, and a pink-framed window and blue wall with a diagonal shadow sit behind her. > It's very common to be homesick when you're so far away from the people who love you. > Okay, I'm not gonna give up. > Solitude never hurt anyone.

She sits holding a black book on her lap, then looks up with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, her expression shifting from wary to dazed. Her head tilts and slumps as she grimaces and her eyes droop toward the side, while the black book remains on her lap. > Emily Dickinson lived alone, > and she wrote some of the most beautiful poetry the world has ever known. > Then went crazy as a loon.

She slowly sinks down and lies back with her head on the white pillow, her eyes drooping closed beside the radio. A pink nightstand with an angled desk lamp stands nearby, and a large pink-paned window glows faintly on the wall. > You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. > You make me happy when skies are gray. > You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.

As the moment goes on, Bart raises his hands and stays fixed on the house, which dims as night falls. The scene then cuts to a daytime view of a row of beige single-story houses on stilts with blue sky, green lawns and a concrete walkway, and on-screen text does not appear. > So don't take my sunshine away. > I'm sorry I froze you out, Lise.

Lisa sits hunched with her hands clasped and her eyes half closed, while Bart sits upright with a sideways glance and a worried, sheepish look. Over the moment Lisa lifts her head, opens her mouth as if speaking, and tilts her head toward Bart, who turns his eyes toward her and then looks away. In the final shot Bart stands beside a hospital rail and Lisa, now beside him, looks toward him with wide eyes and an open mouth, while the bed and a blue cabinet remain in the background. > I just didn't want the guys to think I'd gone soft on the girl issue. > I'm tired of being an issue, Bart. > Maybe everyone would be better off if I just quit. > But if you quit, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/912995.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/916749 ## 15:21–15:34 Bart and Lisa Simpson, both in matching light blue short-sleeved uniforms with blue jeans and black shoes, sit side by side on the edge of a hospital bed with a white pillow, beside a window and a blue metal bed rail. Bart, with spiky hair, starts out looking forward and then turns to glance sideways and speak with his mouth open, while Lisa, with her star-shaped spiky hair, sits with her hands in her lap and eyes downcast. Over the moment Bart shifts his posture, gestures with one arm, and in the final frame reaches over to touch Lisa's chin while she keeps her eyes closed and head lowered. > it'd be like an expert knot-tyer quitting a knot-tying contest right in the middle of > tying a knot. > Why'd you say that?

At first Lisa stands at the left of the frame with Bart's hand resting on her shoulder while she looks dazed with her mouth open, then Bart sits beside her with his arm stretched across her shoulder as she slumps and gazes down at her feet. Bart grins and glances sideways while Lisa looks over at him, and by the final moment they sit upright on the bed, Bart smiling and Lisa speaking with her mouth open. A metal bed rail and a blue cabinet sit at the edges of the room. > Why should we both be outcasts? Then I'll just stick by you in secret. > Like a sock maker secretly working on a top secret sock that... > Will you stop looking at your feet? > Well, cadets, it's been a great year.

An older man in a blue uniform and peaked cap, with medals on his chest, walks slowly along the line on the grass from the right, his hands clasped behind his back. As he passes the cadets and moves closer, Bart grimaces and Lisa gazes sideways at him while the rest of the line stands at attention on the green lawn under a blue sky. > You've all worked very hard developing academic skills and general killing skills. > My killing teacher says I'm a natural.

He stands with a grim, clenched-teeth scowl, then turns his head slightly and speaks, and in a close-up he glares and opens his mouth wide as if shouting. > But these skills are nothing without courage and stamina. > Traditionally, > the Academy tested these virtues by pitting you against each other in a two-day battle > royale.

Bart, with spiky hair and an orange shirt, and Lisa, with star-shaped spiky hair, stand among the children in the foreground, watching him. The scene then cuts to a wide view of a large brown tree trunk in the foreground, with a wooden ladder-like tower at the left edge, green hills, and a blue lake under a clear sky. > State Supreme Court. > Consequently now, > no cadet can receive a passing grade for the academic year without first conquering this. > Meet the Eliminator.

Outdoors on a grassy field, a tall pulley tower and ladder stand beside a long rope stretched over a tangled thicket of vines, and a small group of recruits waits in the distance. The recruits stand at attention, mouths open as they shout, while Bart and Lisa stare ahead wide-eyed in the close-up. > That's a 150-foot hand-over-hand crawl across a 60-gauge hemp jute line with a blister > factor of 12.

He then turns to look up at a tall tower with a rope running from its top and a wooden platform on a ladder, before turning to face the viewer with wide eyes. The vines, the tower and a blue sky with white clouds fill the background. > The rope is suspended a full 40 feet over a solid British acre of old-growth Connecticut > Valley thorn bushes.

The scene then shifts to an overhead view of a crowded cafeteria with rows of teal tables where uniformed children sit eating, and Lisa sits alone at an empty bench, slowly lifting a fork toward a slice of cake on a tray. Lisa's expression grows downcast as she eats in a long institutional dining hall with fluorescent lights, while the other children sit at tables around her.

She glances sideways, then looks down at a small folded note in her hands and reads it closely, the note held up near her mouth and then lowered to the tray. Fluorescent ceiling lights hang over the institutional dining hall. > Hey, Mark, come on over here. There's plenty of room. > Meet me at the Eliminator after lights out.

She reads the note with a wary, uneasy expression, then turns to set down her tray on the counter beside a slice of cake on a plate. In the final moment she lifts a green tray up in front of her face, with a red blob (a thrown meatball) flying up into the bottom of the frame, and a red dot on the tray, as the crew-cut boy on the right looks on. > P.S. > The cadets are planning to throw their meatballs at you.

Below her, a spiky-haired boy in a grey hoodie stands wide-eyed with his hands on his cheeks beside thorny bushes and a tall wooden ladder. Her grip looks strained as she shifts along the rope, and her mouth opens in alarm in the middle frames. > That's it, Lise. Now start crawling. > Ugh, it's too hard. > My hand is slipping. > Ah!

Lisa dangles upside down while Bart swings on a rope, and a small figure climbs the ladder as the ropes sway over the tangled heap. > I can't do this, Bart. I'm not strong enough.

Lisa, on the left, sways and struggles with her arms hanging down, while Bart, on the right, grips the rope above his head and looks strained and wide-eyed. In the last image two figures in the distance on the right, a child in a red top and an older person in green, stand watching from behind the bushes as the two struggle on their ropes. > I thought you came here looking for a challenge. > Duh. > A challenge I could do. It was worth sneaking into town.

A spiky-haired boy in a grey sweatsuit is tied with rope to a tree trunk, tugging at the rope while another spiky-haired figure peers from the bushes nearby. The men then walk toward the tied boy and stand in a row, scowling, with the grey-haired man speaking, while a coil of rope lies on the ground beside the tree and a chain hangs from a branch above. > That was some good corn. > Uh-oh. > Uh, hey, Simpson. > What are you doing out here? Nothing. > Nothing? Doesn't look like nothing. > Yeah?

Bart stands with his arms at his sides and looks up at the group, and the men turn and look at him with stern expressions while the grey-haired man speaks; in the later frames the group stands side by side in the dark, with the grey-haired man looking off to the side and the others glaring, and a rope coils on the ground near Bart's feet and trees and bushes surround them. > Well, um, what are you doing out here? > Uh, also nothing. > Well, okay.

Bart talks and grins while the three men watch him with stern, unimpressed expressions, and a coiled rope lies on the ground by the tree. The men then turn and walk away to the right, leaving Bart tied to the tree as the rope trails across the grass. > Okay. > Then carry on. All right, we will. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1061686.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1065231 ## 17:49–17:58 Bart, in a grey sweatshirt, stands at the base of a dark tree at night with a coiled rope at his feet, then grips the rope and climbs upward while Lisa, with her star-shaped spiky hair, hangs on the rope beneath him. They move past a large tan beehive swarming with bees, and the scene ends on the empty hive with bees buzzing around it under a purple night sky with stars. > That was close. > Bees. > Gentlemen, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1070653.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1073990 ## 17:58–18:08 A uniformed officer with grey hair, a peaked blue cap, and a clipboard stands before a crowd of children in grey jumpsuits at an outdoor training ground, with a tall ladder tower and a sloping cable behind them. He addresses the group, then stands with one hand on his hip and a stern, sardonic expression while the cadets face him. The wooden platform atop the ladder and the cable stay in place against a blue sky and purple hills. > I regret to inform you that the state Supreme Court has determined that forcing cadets to > cross the Eliminator is a barbaric and malicious practice.

Before that, Lisa, with her spiky hair and grey jumpsuit with an R badge, stands in a line of similarly dressed kids, one of them spiky-haired and bespectacled, as a spiky-haired boy in the middle speaks. The scene is outdoors under a blue sky with a tree, distant purple hills, and a tall ladder and wire at the edge of the grounds. > Yes. > Hence, you will be the last class to be subjected to it. > Anderson, you're up.

The next moment shows an empty field with the zipline cable stretching to a second tower under a bright sun. Bart Simpson, in the grey coveralls, then comes whirling down the zipline head over heels and lands face-first in a hedge. Finally he is shown crouched on a small wooden platform at the top of a post, grinning weakly, with the cable running overhead and wooded hills behind him. > Son of a... > Jeez... > Good job, Simpson.

Bart then walks across the grass, and the officer strides forward and gestures with his clipboard as grey-suited cadets crowd around Bart. Lisa Simpson, also in a grey cadet suit, stands alone in front of the thorny hedge beside the ladder under a clear blue sky. > Although that's more cursing than I like to hear from a cadet in peacetime. > Last up, Simpson... Lisa. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1110901.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1116115 ## 18:42–18:54 Bart, the spiky-haired boy, stands wide-eyed in front of a line of men in matching grey tracksuits on a grassy lawn, while a brown-haired man at the right blows a bugle. The scene then shifts to a tall ladder rising over a murky green expanse ringed with yellow vines, with a tiny Lisa, star-shaped hair and red dress visible near its top. Finally, the ladder stretches up into a blue sky with white clouds, and Lisa, now in a grey tracksuit with white sneakers, climbs a ladder standing on the grass beside trees and bushes. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1123623.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1128419 ## 18:54–19:04 Bart Simpson stands in a grey tracksuit with a blue badge among a crowd of similarly dressed men on a green background, many raising fists and shouting, while a man with brown hair cups his hands around his mouth. Lisa Simpson, also in a grey tracksuit, climbs a tall grey ladder past green bushes under a blue sky, then reaches a small orange platform beside a pole topped by a thick rope. She stands on the platform with wide eyes and an open mouth, speaking, with white clouds drifting behind her. > Well, at least they're talking to me. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1135509.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1139472 ## 19:04–19:15 Lisa, in a grey sweater with a blue emblem, stands beside a tall grey pole against a bright blue sky, then grabs a rope stretched from the top of the pole, climbs up it, and ends up hanging upside down from the rope while a swirling yellow and green tangled pattern appears at the start. Below, a row of onlookers in grey shirts, including Bart with his spiky hair, gazes upward at her beside a ladder, a long rope, and an orange platform on the pole. The sky stays blue with white clouds throughout. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1145936.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1150107 ## 19:15–19:20 Lisa Simpson, in a grey jumpsuit, climbs a rope through a dense tangle of green and brown vines, then hangs upside down from it above a heap of vines while autumn leaves drift past a tree and a small wooden platform with a ladder. Bart Simpson, also in a grey sweatsuit with a blue badge, stands among other grey-suited kids, first looking sullen with heavy eyelids, then widening his eyes and gesturing nervously with his yellow hands as his mouth opens. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1156572.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1158032 ## 19:20–19:30 An unnamed yellow-skinned cartoon character in a grey outfit hangs upside down by its hands from a thick twisted rope against a bright blue sky with white clouds, its wide-eyed face and open mouth showing alarm. The figure stays gripping the rope as it dangles, and the scene then cuts to a close-up of two yellow hands clutching the twisted rope, with the grey sleeve of the figure visible at the bottom. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1161369.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1165748 ## 19:30–19:43 Bart, with his spiky hair, and Lisa, with her star-shaped spiky hair, are among a crowd of identically dressed people in grey tracksuits with blue badges, all pumping their fists on a green field. Under a blue sky, a small figure slides down a diagonal cable while the crowd raises their arms and watches, and then Lisa is seen upside down in mid-air with her spiky hair and arms hanging down. Bart stands in the crowd looking worried as the group looks on. > Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1172004.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1177009 ## 19:43–19:55 A spiky-haired boy in a grey tracksuit stands on a grassy field, wide-eyed and clenching his fists, while a row of boys in matching grey tracksuits with blue crests cup their hands around their mouths and cheer him on. The scene then cuts to a spiky-haired girl in grey hanging upside down by both hands from a taut rope against a bright blue sky dotted with white clouds, her wide eyes looking sideways as she struggles to keep her grip. > You can make it, Lisa. > I know you can. Come on, I know you can do it. > Just get your hands back on the rope. It's just a little further. > Come on, just a little bit more. You're doing rope.

The scene then shifts to a tall grey pole with a ladder and an orange platform against a bright blue sky with white clouds, where a grey-clad figure hangs from a rope holding a yellow pompom-like ball. Lisa Simpson, in grey, then climbs the pole toward the top of the rope, reaching up with her arms while the rope stretches across the sky above her. > That's it. Come on, just a little bit more. > I know you can do it. I believe in you. > Yes! Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1196612.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1201617 ## 20:07–20:14 Lisa Simpson, in a grey sweatsuit, stands atop a high wooden platform at the top of a tower beside a sagging cable, then climbs down a ladder to the grass by a hedge. Bart Simpson, also in grey, stands near her as a long line of grey-suited kids with blue badges watches. Lisa grins with her hands on her head, then raises both arms in a triumphant cheer, and a second tower and a cable stretch across the sunny landscape behind her. > You thought I couldn't, but I could, I did, and I could do it again. > Let's do it again! > Lisa, it's over. You made it. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1208916.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1211419 ## 20:14–20:22 Bart and Lisa Simpson, both in matching grey jumpsuits with blue crest badges, stand outdoors in front of a green landscape with trees, bushes and rocks under a blue sky. Lisa keeps both arms raised with her hands pressed to her head while Bart talks to her and gestures with an open hand, then later rests a hand on his shoulder and her arms stay up. In the final moment, Bart stands at the right facing three similarly dressed boys: a blond spiky-haired boy at left, a brown-haired boy with a moustache-like look beside him, and a dark-haired boy in the middle who speaks, all with clenched fists and stern expressions. Bart's classmates are not named, and no on-screen text is visible. > You can put your arms down. I can't. They're stuck. > We're gonna make your life a living hell for the rest of the semester.

The three scowl and gesture at Bart, with the black-haired boy pointing and the brown-haired boy raising a fist and talking, while trees, pink hills and clouds fill the background. In the final moment the three turn their backs and walk off to the left, leaving Bart looking after them. > But graduation's in three hours. > We better go change. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1223305.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1225808 ## 20:29–20:34 An officer in a blue dress uniform and peaked cap stands behind a wooden podium on a grassy parade ground, addressing rows of uniformed cadets in white caps who stand with their backs to the viewer. The early view shows the scene from above, with crowded grandstands circling an oval track, a formation of figures on the field, and parked cars along the edge. The camera-less scene then settles to a closer view with a flagpole and a large brick building behind the podium, and the speaker and cadets remain largely still while the speaker gestures slightly as he talks. > The wars of the future will not be fought on a battlefield or at sea. > They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1230604.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1232273 ## 20:34–20:44 An older, grey-haired man in a blue military dress uniform with a peaked cap bearing a gold emblem stands behind a wooden podium with a microphone, a flag on a pole and a building with windows at the right against a bright blue sky. He grimaces and gestures with an open palm, then raises a clenched fist, speaking with a stern expression, and then rests his hands on the podium while he keeps talking. The scene shows him delivering a grave speech outdoors, with the flag and building visible behind him. > In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1236026.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1239780 ## 20:44–20:55 An older man in a blue military-style uniform and cap stands at a wooden podium, seen from behind at first, while rows of graduates in blue uniforms and white caps face him on a green lawn in front of a flagpole and a beige building. He speaks to the assembled graduates, then turns to face them as they raise their arms and white caps fly up into the sky. The scene ends with the caps tossing in the air above the cheering graduates. > And as you go forth today, remember always, your duty is clear. > To build and maintain those robots. > Thank you.

Homer leans into the open rear of the wagon, then straightens up and carries a light blue suitcase while Marge watches with her hands clasped. Bart stands alone at the end, looking nervous with his mouth open. > Well, Bart, did you make sure to return all the guns? > Sir, yes, sir. Luckily, I am now trained in six additional forms of unarmed combat, sir.

The setting then changes to an outdoor path beside a large golden equestrian statue on a stone pedestal, where a small Lisa in a blue dress stands facing a uniformed police officer with a cap. The statue's rearing horse and the trimmed green hedges are the most prominent objects, and no on-screen text is visible. > Well, he's got more confidence. > Uh, yeah. > I've always said a boy could use more confidence. > Lisa, before you go, I want to present you with this. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1268768.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1273355 ## 21:19–21:30 Lisa Simpson, in a blue military-style uniform with a red sash, stands on a paved path beside a stern, grey-haired man in a blue officer's cap and uniform with medal ribbons. She salutes him in front of a columned building, and a gold medal is then held up in close-up, its inscription reading "FOR SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE SECOND GRADE." The scene includes houses, lawns and hedges under a bright blue sky. > A medal? > Thank you, sir. > For satisfactory completion of the second grade. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S08E25/1280029.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s08e25-the-secret-war-of-lisa-simpson/1284825 ## 21:30–21:41 Lisa, with pearl beads and a red dress, sits beside Bart in an orange shirt in the back of a vehicle with brown seats and a purple roof, while Homer in a white shirt and Marge with her tall blue beehive sit in the seat in front of them. Lisa fiddles with a small red, white and blue object, and a white peaked cap with a blue R lies on the seat. Homer talks and gestures, stretching his arm over the seat back toward Marge, who smiles and looks at him, while his expression shifts from talking to a tense grimace. > Well, kids, we're so proud of the way you completed military school. > We thought this time we'd take you to Disneyland for real.

Bart hops out of an orange van while Marge sits inside with her tall blue beehive, and the siblings stand side by side before climbing the steps toward the glass-paned entrance marked 'B. HOFFMAN DENTIST'. > Yay! > Hey! > Ha-ha-ha-ha!

The scene then fades to a black screen with gold text reading Executive Producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, which is replaced by Executive Producers James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Sam Simon, and finally Starring Dan Castellaneta appears on the black background.

Against a plain black background, orange lettering in a playful hand-drawn style appears in turn: first 'Executive Consultant BRAD BIRD', then 'Animation Producers BILL SCHULTZ and MICHAEL WOLF', then 'Story Editors RON HAUGE and NED GOLDREYER', then 'Theme by DANNY ELFMAN', and finally 'Music by ALF CLAUSEN'. Each credit fades in and out, one replacing the next, with no movement beyond the text.

A projector beam sweeps across the room as the words GRACIE FILMS appear in white on a purple panel, with the audience still silhouetted below. The scene then gives way to a golden 20th Century Fox Television logo against a dusky sky with searchlight beams, the words A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY appear beneath it, and the image fades to black.
