The opening frames are black and then show drifting clouds over blue sky, with the title text 'THE SIMPSONS' appearing in yellow letters that grow larger. The scene then cuts to the driveway, where the pink car pulls up in front of the garage and Bart stands on a skateboard at the left as Homer gets out of the driver's door. Homer then walks to the front of the car carrying a stack of books, with Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair, riding a red bike behind him. In the final moment Homer bends over the hood of the pink car with his hands on it, while a mailbox sits on the grass at the bottom left. > The Simpsons Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/1043.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/6256 ## 0:12–0:23 Homer, first seen in a purple room gesturing with a cup, and then Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie sit on the brown couch of a pink living room in white astronaut suits and helmets as smoke and yellow sparks rise around them. Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, lies on the green carpet beside a side table with a phone, and the family then disappears in smoke, leaving the empty room. The scene closes on a television screen reading 'Created by Matt Groening' and then 'Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon.'

Principal Skinner, a grey-haired man in a blue suit and pink tie, walks down a school hallway lined with lockers, past a wall clock and red fire extinguisher, then stops and points at a locker before lowering his hand and fixing his tie at his chest. On-screen captions credit 'Co-Executive Producer' George Meyer, Mike Scully, and Steve Tompkins in turn as he moves. > Mm-hmm.

He walks past a dark wastebasket, holds up a wooden ruler, and then leans over a bin of crumpled paper with the ruler while Mr. Burns, frail and stooped, peeks out from between the lockers behind him. Skinner then raises both hands and grins as the on-screen credit 'Supervising Producer JONATHAN COLLIER' appears over the scene. > Oh, yeah. > Mm-hmm. > Mm. > I have it going on.

COHEN'. He tilts his head, purses his lips, and then turns to face the right side, where he is joined at the edge of the scene by a frail, very thin, bald old man with grey hair at the sides, a hooked nose and a red tie, who gestures with his hands and then stoops forward as the man with the tuning fork looks on. > Mm-hmm. > Oh, let the good times roll.

Skinner then gestures and speaks as he stands in front of a green door, and later addresses a group of seated people at a wooden table, including a man in a green shirt and a woman with a tall brown hairdo, while a coffee cup sits on the table. Credits for Dan McGrath and David Mirkin appear over the table scene. > Good Lord. > The rod up that man's butt must have a rod up its butt. > Oh, Superintendent Chalmers, can I offer you a cup of coffee-flavored beverage?

He accepts the mug, then stands by an orange wall phone as he talks and grimaces, and finally turns to face the viewer. On-screen credits appear in white letters, first 'Consultant John Swartzwelder,' then 'Co-Producer Colin A.B.V. Lewis,' and finally 'Produced by J. Michael Mendel.' > Yes, I'd take it gray with creamium. > But first, before Skinner shows up, I have a secret announcement.

He talks and grimaces, grits his teeth, purses his lips and narrows his eyes, then closes his eyes while still speaking, as the on-screen credit first reads "Produced by RICHARD RAYNIS" and later "Produced by DAVID SILVERMAN". > In honor of Seymour's 20th year as principal, > we've decided to hold a surprise tribute Friday night.

At a wooden table in the teacher's lounge, a woman with glasses holds a blue mug, a bearded man in overalls gestures with an open hand, and a man in a bow tie reads a newspaper on a folding chair, with a yellow sofa behind them. The text 'Produced by RICHARD SAKAI DENISE SIRKOT' and then 'Written by KEN KEELER' appears on screen, and the scene ends with Skinner standing alone, arms still crossed, as the bearded man's arm enters at the left edge. > It's my 20th year, too? The teacher's lounge is for teachers, Willie. > And for the tribute, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/86962.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/89881 ## 1:33–1:45 A teacher with shoulder-length brown hair, glasses and a white blouse with a red bow stands at the front of a classroom beside her desk, speaking to rows of seated pupils, including a spiky-haired girl at the front left. A blond bowl-cut boy in a blue shirt raises his hand at the right front desk, then waves in a close-up while the teacher, in profile before the alphabet border on the blackboard, keeps talking. White on-screen credit text reading "Directed by STEVE MOORE" appears over the lower classroom partway through. > I need a volunteer to present an oral report on Principal Skinner's life. > Miss Hoover, which one is oral? Out of your mouth, Ralph. > Volunteers.

Ralph, a boy with a blond bowl cut and blue shirt, raises his hand, and Lisa raises hers briefly before lowering it, then Miss Hoover turns and points toward the class as she speaks. The alphabet letters strip along the top of the chalkboard is visible throughout. > Thank you, Lisa. > No, Miss Hoover, I'm Ralph. > I only need one volunteer, Ralph. Miss Hoover, which one is one? > Ralph and I could do the report together. > It's your funeral.

The scene shifts to Homer's wide-eyed face beside a brown mound with a tiny American flag, then to Bart in his orange shirt at the counter, where he holds a magnifying glass over a tray of similar mounds, each stuck with a flag, and a box marked with flags sits nearby. Marge with her blue beehive walks up beside Bart, who keeps examining the tray as she looks on, while a later moment shows him grinning and gesturing over the tray with the magnifying glass. > Miss Hoover? > What? > Why are you doing that? > Our class is making refreshments for Skinner's party. > These are in honor of his army days. That explains the flags.

Bart holds a spoon over a tray of small brown morsels with tiny flag toothpicks while Marge grimaces, then looks thoughtful, and Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, appears with its head beside the tray. Behind them a cabinet holds plates and glasses, and cans labeled "DOG FOOD" sit on the counter. > What about the dog food? > My theory is Skinner likes dog food.

Marge reaches for a can while Homer leans in grinning, then he picks up a flag-topped treat and bites into it, holding another in his other hand as Bart watches with a spoon. > Let's bake him a cake. Ooh, a fresh batch of America balls.

The scene opens on a dark purple night view of a two-story house with a lit downstairs window and a mailbox, then cuts inside, where the man holds a small object near the lamp, glances down at a wristwatch on his right wrist, grins with his teeth showing, and then turns his head to the side and speaks with his mouth open. > Seymour, tell me what time it is. > Now! > Seven o'clock Friday night, Mother. > Time for our weekly silhouette.

A tall, grey-haired older woman in a pink dress, pearl necklace and white gloves walks in from the right and stands facing him, then turns her back to the viewer as he talks, smiles, closes his eyes and waves a hand. He continues speaking and gesturing at her while she listens, with the silhouette portraits and the lamp visible throughout. > No, cutting out your ugly nose gives me a hand cramp. > Oh, but you love silhouette night. > And then we go through your bird book and make up silly captions. > Mother, why are you all dressed up? I'm sick of this house and I'm sick of you.

Over the clip the woman's expression sharpens as she speaks, and she eventually raises a gloved hand, pointing a finger near her face while the man keeps looking at her. A large silhouette portrait of a man in profile hangs on the wall behind them, with a lamp on the table at left. > Tonight we're going for a drive. > What's so special about tonight? Nothing. > Now put on your special suit and get in the car. > Yes, Mother.

The car pulls up to the school, and Skinner steps out through double doors as the woman follows and a crowd of townspeople applauds beneath a banner reading "Happy 20th Anniversary Principal Skinner" with balloons overhead. > Why are we stopping at my school, Mother? > What does it say on that sign? > I don't like your tone. > Happy anniversary, son.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive, Homer, Chief Wiggum in his police cap, and Sideshow Bob with his huge red mane and bushy moustache are among the spectators. The man and woman smile and face each other, then he turns his back to the viewer as they embrace and the crowd keeps clapping, while a small boy in an orange shirt watches from the lower right. > Oh, Mother. > You are still the master of deception. I surely am.

Behind them hangs a large portrait of a grey-haired man in a suit, with an American flag and a building painted on the backdrop, below a partly visible banner reading "HAP...PY" and "...RY" in a red-curtained hall where an audience sits in the foreground, with Marge's blue beehive visible at the bottom edge. Lisa speaks and grins while looking up, then Ralph grins with his teeth showing and gestures with his hands out at his sides, while the audience sits in silence. > So in 1966, > a brave young man named Seymour Skinner enlisted and shipped out to Vietnam, > where he rose to become Platoon Sergeant. > Ralph? > Principal Skinner is an old man who lives at the school. > Lisa? > Sergeant Skinner was a hero.

Beside her, a young blond boy with a bowl cut, grey suit, and red bow tie stands at a microphone in front of a blue curtain and red stage skirting, speaking and grinning with his arms held out at his sides. Lisa keeps reading her cards and grinning as the boy talks and smiles, with the microphone and a yellow building with a window behind them. > He risked capture many times behind enemy lines. > Teacher made me go to Principal Skinner's office when I was dirty.

ANNIVERSARY-style lettering partly hidden. Lisa stands at the left holding her hands together, while Skinner stands at a microphone on the right and at first stands still, then raises his arm and gestures outward toward the audience. A crowd of seated townspeople, including Marge's tall blue beehive and Homer's bald head in the front rows, watches from below the stage, and the scene stays largely static as Skinner gestures during his speech. > And he survived to make it back to Springfield, > where he became the fine educator we salute tonight. > When I grow up, I want to be a principal or a caterpillar. > I love you, Principal Skinner. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/224391.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/229813 ## 3:56–4:07 Homer and Marge sit among an audience of seated, clapping people in a theater, with Homer in a blue suit and Marge's tall blue beehive visible behind him. The scene then shifts to a stage with a red curtain and wooden floor, where a row of children on a green bench stands in a choir while an older grey-haired man in a grey sweater, holding a baton, conducts them. The children sing with their mouths open, leaning and turning their heads, and their faces break into wide grins as the group keeps singing. > They call him Skinner, Skinner, > faster than lightning. > No one you see is stricter than he.

The view then moves to Springfield Elementary School at night, where a marquee reads "TONIGHT: SURPRISE TRIBUTE TO SEYMOUR SKINNER" beside lit windows. Inside the car, Carl grips the steering wheel and turns his head to look out at the starry night, passing a fence, trees and houses, and he speaks while looking out the window. > Tribute to Seymour Skinner. > Pull over, driver. Now, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/248582.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/252544 ## 4:17–4:27 Principal Skinner, a bald man with neat grey hair at the sides wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, stands on a stage holding a microphone in front of a red curtain with a banner reading "HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY PRINCIPAL SKINNER," with balloons on either side. In the foreground, a rows of seated audience members, including a woman with a tall brown hairdo, face the stage. Skinner speaks into the microphone, then gestures outward with his free arm extended toward the audience, while his mouth moves as he talks. > I know the school normally serves cake only on Thursdays, > and I'm also well aware that today is Friday. > Nevertheless, I have a surprise for you.

Principal Skinner, the grey-haired man in a suit, comes down the stage steps, waves to the seated audience, and stands beside the cake while Bart and Milhouse hold the cart, as Marge's tall blue beehive, Chief Wiggum in his police cap, and other clapping spectators watch. > I hope you all brought forks and plates. > Mm-hmm. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/269019.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/272564 ## 4:37–4:47 Principal Skinner, a neat grey-haired man in a blue suit and orange tie, stands beside a table in front of a red curtain, where a cake reading "Happy Anniversary Principal Skinner" with two candles marked 20 sits. Bart, the spiky-haired boy in a blue shirt, stands at the table, first gesturing toward the cake and then shaking hands with Skinner. Bart then takes a microphone from Skinner and holds it up, while Skinner speaks into a second microphone, and the two talk together. In the last frame Skinner moves to the left edge of the picture, leaving Bart standing behind him, while a small buzzer with a red light sits on the cake table next to the cake. > Oh, what the... An enjoyment buzzer. > Oh, thank you.

A boy in a blue cap, pink shirt and glasses stands at far right, and the audience in the foreground includes a tall blue beehive hairdo (Marge) and a bald yellow head (Homer). Skinner gestures toward the cake with his free hand, grins and then smirks, and in close-up he winks and then looks alarmed with his mouth open. > What a wonderful night to share with the people and the town that I love. > I have never been happier or prouder to be Seymour Skinner. > You're not Seymour Skinner.

A stern grey-haired man in a green military uniform walks out of a dark doorway, then stands before red, white and blue bunting and a wall sign with balloons as an older woman in a pink dress and pearls raises her hand and then clutches her head and reels back. Seated in the audience, a police officer in a cap and a woman with a tall brown hairdo watch, and on stage Bart and Milhouse stand beside a table draped with a white cloth. > Skinner. Skinner? I'm Skinner. > Seymour? > She's my mother. > Will someone remove that crazy man, please?

The two stand on a wooden stage before red curtains, and the second man's expression shifts from clenched teeth to an open-mouthed grimace as the pair edge slightly apart and then together while a cake sits on a draped table at right. Below them, an audience sits under balloons and a banner, with Marge's tall blue beehive visible among the seated crowd, and two small figures in blue stand near the stage steps. > No, no, he's... He's not crazy. > It's true.

Later he stands in an auditorium aisle, pointing toward a bald older man with grey sides in a dark suit and red tie, while Marge in her green dress and tall blue beehive and a crowd of seated townspeople, including a man in a green military uniform with medals, look on. > I'm... > I'm... an imposter. > That man is the real Seymour Skinner.

Homer stays fixed in close-up, staring with bulging eyes beside a cluster of colorful balloons in pink, green, blue and orange, with a green exit sign on the wall behind him. The picture then fades to black, and the final shot shows Springfield Elementary School at night under a purple sky, its windows glowing and an American flag flying on a pole out front. > Keep looking shocked and move slowly towards the cake.

Burns glares and speaks at the others, then a uniformed sergeant with grey hair enters in the foreground left, and Burns reaches out to grip the sergeant's hand while the seated woman sits with her eyes closed. The man in blue, a figure in a red-bearded costume with a green kilt, and the woman remain in place as Burns keeps talking and the handshake holds. > Now let's clear this up. Who exactly are you?

The soldier salutes with his right hand, then the man in the suit gestures with both hands, and the soldier turns to speak while the suited man listens with a blank, open-mouthed expression. > Sergeant Seymour Skinner, U.S. Army. > It's true. > I was in his platoon. But they said you were killed on that scouting mission. > No, just captured.

The center figure is an older man with grey hair at the sides, wearing a dark green uniform with sergeant's stripes and medals on his chest, who speaks with a grin, then lifts his hand to his chest and gestures as the group listens. Framed certificates with red and blue ribbon awards hang on the wall behind them in an office. > It's kind of a funny story, really. > After five years in a secret POW camp, I was sold to China for slave labor. > And since 77, I've been making sneakers at gunpoint in a sweatshop in Wuhan.

Bart is partly visible at the bottom edge. A grey-haired man in a dark green army uniform with medals and a sergeant's stripes stands center, with a bald older man in a dark suit at the far right and a man in a pale blue suit and pink shirt beside the uniformed man. Across the moment the uniformed man speaks, then gestures with both hands toward the man in the blue suit, while Marge and Homer glance at him and Marge's eyes widen as she looks toward him. No on-screen text is visible. > That's not a funny story. > Well, I guess you had to be there. > Anyhow, the U.N. shut the factory down last week, and the embassy shipped me home. > And here I am. So what's your story, Seymour, if that is your real name?

The man in the blue suit with a pink tie, shown from behind in the early moments, stands face to face with Skinner, who grimaces and then sets his jaw. Later the men shift position and the bald figure in the navy suit reaches out to rest a hand on the shoulder of the man in the blue suit, while Homer, Marge and Bart stand nearby with a uniformed older man in a dark green military jacket with medals. Framed certificates and a school picture hang on the wall behind them, and a red-and-white ribbon-like badge is visible on the wall. The group stands in a school office, with Bart gritting his teeth and shaking his head as the scene ends. > Well, obviously it isn't. > My real name is Armin Tamzerian. > I'm an orphan from Capital City, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/382257.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/387888 ## 6:34–6:44 Principal Skinner, in a blue suit and tie, sits in a red chair in his office before framed certificates with ribbons, first looking wide-eyed, then with eyes shut and mouth open as he gestures at his tie with one hand, and then grinning nervously. The scene blurs into a transition, and Troy McClure, with swept-back reddish hair and a black leather jacket, grips the handlebars of a motorcycle, grinning and smirking against a blue sky and brick buildings as the bike speeds past, then leans in with a hand raised near his face. > and those who recall my fight to outlaw teenage rudeness may be shocked to learn that I > myself was once a street punk.

He speeds past tan and brick buildings until he is knocked off the bike and ends up sprawled on the sidewalk beside a man in a grey suit and glasses, the orange satchel lying on the pavement, while a man in a long dark robe stands over him. Police officers in blue uniforms and caps then arrive, one holding out handcuffs, as the young man crouches to pick up the satchel. > Oh, yeah, the way I was headed, > it was just a matter of time before I wound up in front of a judge. > What the? > They gave me a choice.

The scene then moves to an office where a certificate hangs on the wall, and Troy McClure in a blue suit and orange tie gestures and talks to Bart and a bald, stooped old man with grey hair at the sides (Mr. Burns), while a grey-haired man in a green military uniform looks on. The screen fades to black, then shows silhouetted soldiers with rifles against palm trees and a red explosion. > Jail, the army, or apologizing to the judge and the old lady. > You know, of course, if I'd known there was a war going on, > I probably would have apologized.

In a sunset-lit jungle, helmeted soldiers in olive uniforms crouch behind a wooden crate marked U.S. ARMY and shoot amid tracer lines and bursts of flame. A soldier with swept-back hair sits behind a rock wall, combing his hair with a blue comb while a fireball streaks past and grenades hang from his vest, then he looks up wide-eyed and grimacing, holding the comb near his mouth.

A soldier in a helmet kneels over a wounded soldier with a brown pompadour who lies on the ground, and a line of soldiers fires rifles from the background, muzzle flashes and tracer streaks crossing the sky. The helmeted soldier then lets go and kneels beside the wounded man, who sits up, and the two kneel facing each other while a grenade-carrying soldier gestures with open hands. Sandbags marked with the letters RM and a grassy hillside are visible, and smoke puffs up from the ground. > Okay, who wants a piece of me? > You trying to get yourself killed, Tanzarian? > You've got your whole life ahead of you. > Don't you have any dreams? My dreams all involve combing my hair.

Troy raises a hand to his forehead while the other soldier leans in, then the helmeted soldier gestures and talks, and the scene cuts to a closer view of him gesturing as purple smoke and lightning appear behind him in a jungle setting with palm trees, a pink-and-orange sky, and a crate marked ARMY. He ends by grinning with his arms folded. > Oh, gosh, son. > Everybody's got dreams. I come from a town called Springfield, > and my dream is to go back and become principal of the elementary school. > Some people might call that a pretty corny dream, Sergeant.

The scene then shifts to a jungle clearing under a pink sky, with palm trees and a small blue rain cloud overhead, where he turns his head, talks, and finally grins with his teeth showing. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/463588.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/464631 ## 7:46–7:54 A stocky, grinning man in olive green army fatigues, a green helmet and a small x-shaped pin on his collar stands in a jungle clearing at sunset, with a grey rock cliff, palm trees and a pink-purple sky behind him. He gestures with an open hand while talking, and his expression shifts from smiling to mouth-open speech, with a second soldier in a green helmet partly visible at the right edge. Wooden crates stenciled U.S. and a blue metal case sit nearby, and in the last moment a blue puff of smoke appears behind him at the right. > Well, there's nothing corny about fresh-faced youngsters skipping to school, > scraping knees and spelling bees and pies cooling softly on the windowsill.

He gestures with an open hand, then grins and looks sideways, leans an arm on the crate, and later raises a finger as if making a point before settling back with a wide smile. In the final moments he places a hand on his chest and speaks with his mouth open, while a dark green tree trunk and a rocky grey wall stay behind him. > Well, sir, if that's corny, then corn me up.

The helicopter then spins wildly over green fields and orange roads, trailing rotor blur and smoke, while the swept-back-haired man grips the cabin handle and grins in close-up. > Sergeant Skinner took me under his wing and showed me that life was worth living. > I came to think of him as the big brother I never had. > He made me believe I might have a future after all.

A helmeted soldier runs with a rifle while others fire behind him, and a stocky soldier charges into a jungle as orange blasts erupt at his feet, ending in a large orange explosion. The scene then cuts to two white-helmeted military police standing at a table holding a grenade-like canister, a knife, a helmet with lettering, and a small object, while a Black man in khaki and a man in a blue jacket stand beside them and a row of soldiers look on, one MP raising a small item in his hand. > Ha! > And when they told us he was missing, presumed dead, my future died once again.

One MP holds up a pocket watch whose open lid shows a portrait of a stooped, grey-haired man with a hooked nose, and the man in fatigues then looks on as dog tags and a green pouch are laid out on a table next to a helmet, and one hand lifts the tags on a chain. The scene ends with Principal Skinner, neat grey hair, blue suit and orange tie, standing in an office beneath framed certificates. > My life lost all meaning. > Come on, get to the part where you steal his identity.

Behind him, Marge and a grey-haired, medal-wearing older man in a dark green military uniform watch as a thin man in a light blue suit with an orange tie talks and gestures, while a bald man in a dark navy suit stands at the right near a desk with a green lamp and framed certificates on the wall. Bart's expression shifts from wide-eyed and speaking to squinting and frowning, and in the later images he raises a hand and points, with no on-screen text visible. > I'm trying to explain how emotionally fragile I was. > Oh, it's one of those stories.

The sergeant then walks outdoors up a front path, holding a folded blue flag with white stars, past a tree and a two-storey house with a purple door and white porch railings. He pauses at the porch steps, then stands on the walk and finally holds the folded flag close to his chest in front of a garage. > Sergeant Skinner meant the world to me, and I... > I felt it was my duty to deliver the grim news to his mother.

The door opens onto a woman with curly auburn hair and a green cardigan, who looks at him with wide eyes and a fixed grin in a hallway with a green lamp, while the sergeant, holding a folded American flag with white stars on blue, speaks to her across the threshold with a house and garage visible across the street. The woman's expression shifts to a more uneasy, questioning look as the sergeant keeps talking and holding the flag. > Hello, I'm, uh, I'm... > Seymour? > Is that you? > I don't know why I did what I did.

A woman with a tall brown hairdo, a green top, and a turtleneck, who may be Mrs. Krabappel, stands in a doorway with a purple door and a green wall-lamp, looking sullen with half-closed eyes. The soldier then stands again outside the house, glancing aside with a pained look, and his face grows more strained, ending with his teeth clenched in a grimace. > I guess I couldn't bear to tell her about her son. > What I did was wrong, but I'd do it again.

The woman steps forward and clasps his arm and shoulder, then embraces him as he smiles and rests a hand on her back, and the two hug tightly in the doorway with a pale green railing and trees visible outside. The purple door and its brass handle remain on the left throughout, and a small yellow decorative banana-like ornament hangs on the door. > Yes, Mother, it's me! > You look different somehow. > But you must be Seymour. > Yes, you are Seymour.

He holds a folded American flag against his side while embracing her from behind, and she leans into him with her eyes closed. Over the sequence he keeps his arm around her and looks off to the side, while she stays pressed against him with a slight smile, and a neighborhood with green trees and houses shows through the open doorway. > As strange as it sounds, deep down I think she knew I wasn't her son, > but a lie made us both happier than the truth ever could have.

At the doorway she first smiles and touches his arm, then points down the hall and folds her arms, while the sergeant stands by and looks on. Inside, the woman stands on a green carpet in a hallway with a grandfather clock, framed pictures and a wooden staircase railing, as the sergeant walks forward with the flag and she clasps her hands, while a small on-screen hallway scene shows her stiff, arms-crossed pose. > You can have some lima beans as soon as you cleaned your room. > Go! > Upstairs, third door on the left. > Don't walk on the rocks! > Yes, Mother? > Don't judge her too harshly, Sergeant.

The officer moves leftward past a purple door, pausing near the doorway before stepping out of view while the man keeps watching. Nearby are an oval mirror on a small dresser beside a purple vase and a dish, twin wall sconces, and a wooden staircase at right.

In an office with two framed notices marked with red exclamation points on the wall and a red chair behind them, Skinner first stands with his mouth open, then gestures outward with both hands, and later presses a hand to his chest with eyes closed while speaking. The uniformed man listens with a tight, grimacing expression, then Skinner turns back toward him, mouth open and talking, while both stand still beside the desk, which has a nameplate reading Seymour Skinner. > She was a lonely old woman. If you must blame someone, blame me. > Well, that's pretty much what I was planning to do there, Armin. > Well, that's about it.

The nameplate reads Principal Skinner, with a red chair and two wall notices with red exclamation marks behind them. The older man talks and gestures, first with a hand at his side and later with a raised hand, while Skinner speaks, frowns and listens, and the older man ends with a slight smile as he continues talking. > I've dedicated myself to living out your dream. > I didn't dream anything about an aqua suit or a lavender shirt. > But you did take care of Mom. > A dagger! A dagger through my heart! Oh, here, Mother, let me help you.

A man in a blue suit with a pink shirt fusses over her, a grey-haired man in a dark green army uniform with sergeant stripes clasps her hand, and a woman in a purple jacket with curly dark hair watches from behind. The woman then jerks away from the men, throws her arms out wide and yells, while the uniformed man gestures at his chest and the suited man steps back with his hands held low. > Get your hands off me! Please, Mom. > You too, stranger! I'm your son. I have no son.

Later, in a room with a framed painting and window blinds, the older woman sits on a wooden chair and then stands with her hands on her hips, facing Homer and a balding man in a blue suit and a man in a teal jacket with swept-back brown hair. A grey-haired sergeant in a dark green army uniform with medals stands by the window, while a woman in purple watches from the side. The older woman gestures at the group, rubs her shoulder, and then the teal-jacketed man cups a hand to his mouth as the sergeant glances sideways at her, with a flat silhouette of a window and a rectangular framed painting of a red-helmeted racer on the wall. > Look, lady, you obviously have at least one son. > No. I have one stranger and one fraud. > Take it easy, Mom. I said back off. > You better do as she says. She's quick with a hat pin.

The man in light blue turns and walks away, then Mr. Burns grins and rests a hand on his shoulder as the group stands close together, Burns speaking. The scene then cuts to the exterior of a two-storey orange school building with purple columns, an American flag on a pole, and a sign above the entrance reading Springfield Elementary School. > Uh, well, I suppose I'll have to find a hotel. > I won't hear of it. > Tonight, you can sleep on the floor of your office.

A stubbled, grey-haired man in a white tank top, a one-off character rather than Principal Skinner, first lies under a blue blanket on the floor, then leans on a wooden counter and sits in a red armchair behind a wooden desk with a green lamp and framed medals on the wall. Bart sits across the desk and talks with him while the man slumps with eyes shut, then grimaces with wide eyes. > Hey, Armin. > Mr. Krabappel sent me. I forged my dad's signature on my report card. > Now, Bart, you know that's wrong.

Later he stands at the edge of a wooden desk facing a stubbly man with swept-back grey-brown hair in a white tank top, who sits in a red armchair beneath framed certificates. The man talks, grimaces and chews while Bart listens, and his gaze shifts and drops as he keeps speaking. > I don't see how me signing Homer's name is any different from you using Sergeant Skinner's > name. > I guess me punishing you would be somewhat hypocritical. > Why don't you just write a 30-word essay on what you've done?

The scene moves outside to the Kwik-E-Mart, where a cream station wagon and an orange car are parked in front of the store's sign. Inside, Marge, with her tall blue beehive, stands near the counter as Apu, in a green jacket, and a man in a purple shirt, who is signing a form with a pen, talk across the counter, with Apu gesturing as he speaks. > Hey, hey, hey. Easy there, you big imposter. > So, should I sign my original name? Just put an X, > then call yourself whatever the hell you want.

The man at the counter talks, presses a hand to his chest, and then looks uneasy as a pink milk carton and a round can sit on the counter. Marge, with her tall blue beehive, red bead necklace and green dress, appears beside a glass display case behind him, first reacting with a wide-eyed look and then a grimace, with shelves of colorful boxes and a partly visible poster behind them. > Well, now, there's no need for profanity. > My name may have changed, but I'm still the same man I was last week. > Not to us, you're not. > I mean, how would you feel if you suddenly found out Ned Flanders was an imposter?

The man raises his eyebrows, speaks, and rests his hand on his chin, while Marge stares wide-eyed, grimaces, and opens her mouth to talk before she falls silent. > Who's Ned Flanders? My next-door neighbor, religious guy. > Oh, you mean Reverend Lovejoy. No, I don't.

He holds up a small black object toward her, then turns to look at her and leans his head toward her while she stares with a grimace. As he looks away with a dejected expression, Marge raises her hand to his chin, and he finally turns back to speak, with shelves of goods and a partly visible sign reading "ETTES" and "OKE'M" behind them. > What I mean is, to me, you're just a stranger pretending to be something he's not. > I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel. > No, don't apologize.

In the first frames he speaks with his mouth open and eyes glancing sideways, then his expression turns solemn with eyes closed, before he resumes speaking with a fixed, strained grin. Seated behind him on the stage are two older men, and Marge with her tall blue beehive and other audience members watch from rows of seats in the foreground. > It's time I stopped pretending. > I've called this assembly to announce my retirement, > effective as of the end of this sentence.

Seated in a purple auditorium row behind him, Homer stares ahead and Ned Flanders in his green sweater, moustache and glasses watches with his mouth open, while Marge with her tall blue beehive, Bart, a woman with grey-violet hair and a red bow, and a woman with a blue bob and glasses look on, some with their mouths moving. The scene alternates between Skinner at the podium and the crowd reacting, with the audience's expressions tightening and softening as he speaks. > This sentence I'm speaking. > Right now. > Period.

Skinner speaks throughout, his mouth moving and his expression shifting from wide-eyed and strained to pained, then glancing down and looking sorrowful by the end, while the two seated men remain still and watch him. > I wrongfully usurped Sergeant Skinner's position, > and I suggest you consider him to replace me. > Thank you.

Burns talks and gestures with his mouth moving while the man in the sweater looks sideways, then speaks with his mouth open, and later Burns glances sideways and presses his lips together. The sweater man ends with a sly, closed-mouthed smile while Burns narrows his eyes, with no on-screen text or props visible. > Well, now, I don't know. > Skinner, do you know anything about being a principal? > Well, it's been my lifelong ambition. > And if a man pretending to be me could do it, well, then, logically, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/741366.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/743660 ## 12:27–12:34 Two men stand side by side against a red striped curtain. On the left, a grey-haired man in a maroon sweater and dark tie talks and gestures with both hands, grinning at times and reaching toward the other man. On the right, a bald man with grey sides of hair, a navy suit, red tie and red pocket square stands stiffly, listening with a skeptical, half-lidded stare, and his mouth opens to speak near the end. > the real me must be far more qualified. > Good enough.

Burns reaches the podium, speaks, and spreads both arms wide as the two men stand motionless. Then the view shifts to a seated audience where Homer, Marge, Bart and Ned Flanders watch with blank expressions, and Carl sits among the crowd. > Now let us welcome our new Principal Skinner, > Principal Seymour Skinner.

Burns and the sweater man stand clapping, while Homer, Bart, Marge and Ned Flanders in the audience applaud. Skinner then walks off through a door marked EXIT, and Burns and the sweater man move to the backstage area, where Burns guides the sweater man by the shoulder. Skinner is left standing beside the door and stacked wooden planks, looking uneasy, with a long pole leaning against the planks. > Ahem.

The brown-haired man steps out carrying an orange suitcase, then returns to the doorway, where he pulls a small brown wallet and a black pager from his pocket, shows the older man the pager, and finally holds up a fan of banknotes and hands bills and a small pink item to the older man, who holds a black pager. A pink teapot sits on a table inside the doorway. > Well, before I go, I've got some personal items for you. > You belong to the Radio Shack Battery Club. > Oh, ten Canadian dollars. That's a souvenir from your trip to upstate New York.

The older man first holds a black credit card and a banknote marked "CANA..." as he smiles, then stands by a small white table with a pink vase while the younger man, a suitcase at his feet, talks and gestures with a raised finger. Later the younger man looks down at a small round pocket watch in his hands, and the older man holds the same watch at the door handle while the younger man watches. > You've led quite a life, Tamzerian. It's your life. > I just kept it warm for you. > Oh, I nearly forgot. > Your pocket watch. Mother's picture is still inside. > Take good care of her.

Beside him, a younger man with brown hair and a purple shirt stands by a purple door and window, first raising his hand as if to wave, then bringing it up in a salute to his brow. > A winder every day.

A white-haired older woman in a blue cardigan and purple dress with a beaded necklace steps into the doorway holding a green fish with red fins, and she speaks as the man in the red sweater touches the door frame near her. She extends the fish toward the man in the lavender shirt, who takes it in both hands, and the three stand at the entrance as he holds the fish and the woman looks on. > I poached some fish for your trip, Mr. > Tamzerian. They're full of tiny bones, so I want you to be careful. > I will, Mother...

He reaches toward her chin, then raises a hand and speaks, and after a pause lowers his hand while they look at each other. He then pulls her into a side hug while lifting the fish near a purple shutter, and afterward he stands at the door holding the fish against his hip as she looks on. > Mrs. Skinner. > Well, I better be going.

The lavender-shirted man walks down a suburban sidewalk carrying the suitcase while the grey-haired woman watches him leave. Krabappel sits reading a book on a green sofa beneath a Paris poster, then goes to her door, opens it, and talks with the lavender-shirted man, who scratches his head and speaks as he stands in the doorway. > Good evening, Edna. > I know we were planning to see a film tonight, but instead I'm leaving town forever.

She peeks around the door frame, grimacing and smiling tightly while she clasps her hands near her chest, raises a finger to her mouth, and speaks with her mouth open and closing. Her expression shifts between wide-eyed worry and a sly smile as she leans in and out of view. > No, please. I don't care what you've done. > You're still a decent, honorable man.

He grips her shoulders and leans in with a toothy grin while she stares off with a stern expression, and he later holds her by the neck as he leans toward her. The scene then moves outside to a purple apartment building, where the man, carrying a brown suitcase, walks down the purple metal staircase past door 6 while the woman watches from the upper doorway. > That's the kind of talk that makes me want to marry you. > But instead, I'm leaving town forever. > Goodbye.

Inside a dim unit, he raises his arms, walks forward into the middle of the floor, reaches up to pull the hanging light bulb, then steps toward a green trunk with stenciled lettering that begins with 'PVT. A' and bends over it, placing his hands on its lid. Stacked cardboard boxes, a rolled green rug, and red and brown boxes line the walls beside him.

He puts the jacket on, zips it up, and stands talking, then walks over to a large blue tarp and pulls it away to reveal a black motorcycle with an orange emblem on its tank and a brown seat. > Well, it's time to pick up where I left off. > is a no-good street punk.

He circles around and pulls up near Bart, who holds a can, Milhouse, who has blue hair and glasses and holds a pink item, and an unnamed blond boy in a white shirt holding a lollipop, who all stare up at him. The white-lettered STOR-U-STUFF sign on the blue building and the unit number 124 stay visible throughout. > Principal Skinner? Up yours, children.

The scene then fades to black before Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a red jacket and blue tie, appears behind a desk holding papers, reading and looking up in a blue-walled studio. > Now to recap our top story in its entirety. > The adaptable citizens of Springfield have opened their hearts to Principal Seymour Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/880671.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/884425 ## 14:49–14:59 Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a red jacket and blue tie, sits at a desk against a teal wall holding a sheet of paper and reading from it. A framed portrait of a man in a blue suit and pink tie, with a flag and building behind him, hangs on the wall. Brockman glances up and turns toward the portrait, which then appears to swing or tilt until it shows only a blank white panel with a sliver of the image visible. Next the picture is upside down in a green frame, and Brockman looks at it and gestures with his hands while still holding the paper. > Skinner, who... not that one. > Idiots!

Before a bunting-draped civic building with a clock, the speaker gestures with his hands while the man in the sash gestures with one hand, and the crowd of townspeople in the foreground raises their arms and cheers. A man on the building's balcony waves an arm overhead, and red, white and blue pennants hang across the top of the scene. > Thank you. > Thank you. I must say, in many ways, > Springfield really beats the old slave labor camp.

The scene then moves to the living room, where Homer sits on the couch, Marge stands beside it, Bart and Lisa sit on the rug, and Maggie stands near Santa's Little Helper, all watching the broadcast with wide eyes. Over the following frames the stage stays static while the family members and the greyhound shift only slightly in position. > I admit Sergeant Skinner seems okay, but Mr. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E02/911953.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e02-the-principal-and-the-pauper/912578 ## 15:14–15:25 Bart and Lisa Simpson are in the living room, with Bart lying on his stomach on a purple rug in his orange shirt and blue shorts while Lisa sits up beside him in her orange skirt and pearl necklace. Lisa holds Bart's sneaker, grins, then turns to talk with her mouth open and hands outstretched, while Bart glances sideways and grimaces. Behind them, the legs of an adult in blue jeans are visible on a brown couch, and a woman in a green dress stands at the right edge. > Tamzerian pulled himself up from the streets and earned our respect and admiration. > He lied about his name. His name doesn't matter. > A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Beside him Lisa sits cross-legged on the rug in her red dress and pearl necklace, while Homer sits on the brown couch in his white shirt and Marge stands tall with her blue beehive next to the couch. Maggie sits on the rug with her pacifier and blue bow, and Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, stretches out at the lower right. Across the scene the family watches something off-screen to the left, with Homer's mouth open and Marge's eyebrows raised, and in the last frames Homer leans forward with his mouth wide open. The room has a purple lamp, a framed sailboat picture on the pink wall, and a small TV set in the foreground. > Not if you called him Stench Blossoms. Or crapweeds. > I'd sure I'd take out a dozen crapweeds for Valentine's Day. > I'd rather have candy. > Not if they were called scumdrops.

At the front, an older grey-haired man in a maroon sweater holds a blue stack of papers while a thin, bald man in a dark blue suit and red tie stands beside him. Over the frames the suited man turns his head toward the class and the blue papers shift between the two men in front of the chalkboard, with an American flag and a framed portrait on the wall. > Your new principal would like to say a few words. > Remember, you have to respect him. > He's a war hero. > Ha ha!

The scene then moves to a classroom with a US map and a First Aid chart, where Milhouse with blue hair and glasses and Bart in his orange shirt sit at desks among other pupils. A boy in a white polo shirt stands and faces forward as a red-sleeved arm points at him from above, and Bart slumps with his hand on his cheek before everyone stands together. > Thank you, Chalmers. > You know where I come from, > there's no better way to get acquainted than by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance > together. > Why don't you lead us, son? > Hey, America, you're so fine.

Bart stands with his hand on his chest, singing with his mouth opening and closing, then shifts his posture and rests his hands at his belly before standing with his arms at his sides. The curly-haired boy on the left and the woman on the right also have hands over their chests, with the boy grinning and the woman singing. Behind them are a green chalkboard, a bookshelf of books, and a bulletin board with papers pinned to it. > America.

The man in the sweater scowls, grits his teeth, and opens his mouth to speak several times while his expression hardens, and the bald man beside him stays still with a flat, unimpressed look. The scene stays static apart from the sweater-wearing man's mouth and expression changing across the moment. > Well, that's very concise, but it's an insult to everything I suffered for. > Now take a seat, Junior, > and listen to someone who gave their youth in service of their country.

The older man grimaces and speaks at first, then turns toward Krabappel, who narrows her eyes, grits her teeth and talks back as he listens with a stern expression. Their tense exchange continues against the dark board, with Krabappel's mouth opening and closing as she speaks. > Mrs. Crabapple, the pledge, please. > You haven't dealt with women for a long time, have you, Sergeant?

The scene then moves to a city intersection at dusk with traffic lights, parked cars, and a pedestrian on the corner. A man in a dark leather jacket and blue jeans, with short brown hair, rides a black and silver motorcycle toward a purple brick building. He stops and fiddles with the handlebars, then pushes the bike along the sidewalk past a boarded window and a Help Wanted sign. The motorcycle is parked beside a storefront marquee reading Topless Nudes, and the man turns to walk toward the pink entrance doors while the bike waits at the curb. > Are you asking me out? > Ah, 433rd Street, my old neighborhood. > Hmm. > Oh, yes.

Carl walks over to the sign man, then crosses to the right past the ticket window while the sign man gestures with one hand. Later, a bearded man in a blue cap and orange fur-trimmed coat walks in from the left, and a long-haired young man in a blue vest and green pants walks across the sidewalk while the sign man keeps gesturing. > Capital City's nakedest ladies.

NUDE! NUDE!, stands under a row of oval ceiling lights in a narrow space with blue walls, reading from a sheet of paper. He grins, gestures with an open hand, and at one point raises a finger, while a dark-haired man in a brown jacket steps up beside him and listens with a sly expression. A blue-shirted figure is partly visible at the left edge. > They're not even wearing a smile. > Not suggestively. > Yes, six, count them. > Six gorgeous ladies just dying for your leers and catcalls. > Yowza, yowza.

The woman reaches up to the clock face, then the man opens the door while she scowls, grimaces and points at the swinging brass pendulum. A small plate sits on a side table, and a wall mirror and a coat rack are nearby. > A bar, Mom. > I don't know what that is, but on Fridays, you come straight home after school. > Tonight is silhouette night.

The man turns and gestures toward the stairs, then bends down to pick up a small key from a pink box at the bottom step while the woman stands beside a grandfather clock and a side table holding a plate. The woman raises a hand to her face as the man gestures again, and the scene closes with both still in the hall. > I really just came home to change into a turtleneck. > Seymour, sit! > In the morning. Oh, Mom, I'm borrowing your car.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive, pushes a cart with Maggie, who sucks a pacifier and wears a blue bow, through the store to the checkout, where the scowling grey-haired woman stands beside the counter. A clerk with brown hair, a pink shirt and a white apron rings up the groceries as Marge talks to him and the grey-haired woman watches sourly. > Good morning, Agnes. > Hmm. > How's your new son working out?

An elderly woman with pale grey-blue hair piled high, purple beads and a blue jacket dominates the foreground, scowling, talking and then smirking, while a cashier with a tall brown hairdo in a green jacket speaks, leans over the counter and handles an item above a red laser scanner. Marge watches in silence, and the loaded shopping cart and groceries sit on the counter throughout. > middle-aged man in creation. > Hello, ladies. > Is this the line for people who want to badmouth Sergeant Skinner? > And have 10 items or less. 12, 11, 10.

Marge glances to the side, speaks, and grimaces with a nervous, wary expression while her face and eyes shift. Behind her a woman with a tall, swept-up brown hairdo, a green sweater and a green earring, who is not one of the regulars, stands in the aisle of a grocery store with shelves of boxes and snacks. Marge's hand rests on the cart handle, and the woman with the brown updo shifts her expression to a grimace and holds her hand to her chest as the scene ends. > Oh, now be fair, Edna. I liked Armand Tamzarian too, > but he was at least as big a weenie as Sergeant Skinner. > But he was our weenie. > Now there was a weenie you could be proud to call your son.

The old woman squints sideways, then grins with her teeth showing, and the scene moves in to a close view of her at the counter, where she glances aside, purses her lips, and then looks sour and unimpressed. Beside the register, a 'Frozen Snacks' sign and a small cash register and a display of candy are visible. > Did you ever tell him that?

Inside the car, Homer's expression shifts between wide-eyed alarm and a grim stare, and Selma and the grey-haired sister on the left remain mostly sidelong and unimpressed, with the one on the left at times speaking with her mouth open. The sky and a purple-tinged landscape are visible through the windshield, with a small white cloud drifting past the top right behind the rearview mirror. > Okay, once more. > Where are we going? To Capital City. > Why are you and the old lady in the car? > We're gonna talk Armin Tamzerian into coming back.

Beside them are an elderly woman with grey-lavender hair and purple beads, and a woman with a brown updo in a green cardigan with a green earring. Homer, eyes wide, opens his mouth as if shouting, then the group sits tensely, and Marge speaks and turns her head toward the others, while the grey-haired woman and the woman in green stare ahead without moving. > Why is Marge here? I came up with the idea. > And why am I here? > Because the streets of Capital City are no place for three unescorted ladies.

The passengers stare ahead with tense, sober expressions as Homer's mouth opens to speak and Grampa leans into view, with Bart's hand gripping the window frame. Through the windows a blue sky with a few clouds is visible behind them. > Why are the kids here? Because we couldn't find Grandpa to sit for them. > Why is Grandpa here? > Because Jasper didn't want to come by himself.

Homer's mouth opens as he speaks, then he narrows his eyes and grins with teeth showing, while the woman keeps a sideways, unimpressed look. The orange window frame, blue sky, white clouds and rearview mirror are visible, and a small white puff appears near Homer's face. > Fair enough.

On the right, one of Marge's twin sisters, Patty or Selma, with grey-violet hair and a purple bead necklace, purses her lips, scowls, and then sets her mouth in a grim line. The group is packed together against a red wooden-panelled wall, and Grampa's grin widens and shifts across the frames while the sister's expression sours. > Hello, beautiful. > In your dreams. We'll see about that.

They are gathered inside a warm wood-paneled room with orange-red walls. Marge's eyes shift from wide-eyed staring to narrowed and closed, the small figure grimaces with mouth open then squeezes shut its eyes, and the older woman keeps a sour sideways frown throughout, with no on-screen text visible. > Hello, beautiful.

Inside a living room, Grampa, an older lavender-haired woman, a woman with an auburn bob and green cardigan, Marge with her blue beehive holding Maggie in a blue bow, Homer in a white shirt, Lisa in her red dress, and Bart in his orange shirt stand around a brown-haired, stubbly man reclining on a couch with a pillow. He lifts a green bottle to his mouth and drinks, while a glass ashtray sits on the wooden coffee table, and the woman with the auburn bob speaks, showing her teeth. > My mind is made up. I'm not coming back. > And that's final. > Oh, Seymour. And I'm not Seymour. My name is Armin.

Bart, Lisa, Marge with Maggie, and Homer in a white shirt stand near the doorway, and an older man with white tufts of hair and a woman in a green coat stand beside them. The man then holds up a magazine with a colorful cover in one hand while gesturing with the bottle, and later bends over the bed to fish something out of it, while Marge and Homer react with wide eyes and Homer's mouth hangs open. On the nightstand sits a lamp, and a pot and a book lie on a table in the foreground. > This is Armin's apartment, Armin's liquor, Armin's copy of Swank, Armin's frozen peas. > Can I see your copy of Swank, Armin? Yes, you can.

The stubbled man reaches out and speaks while Homer holds up a glossy magazine, and he later stands with his arm extended, then sits on the green bed with his hands clasped and a grimace. Near the end, an elderly grey-haired woman in a blue jacket and purple necklace stands with her hands on her hips and speaks beside a white-bearded old man. > This is Armin's life, and maybe it's not perfect, but at least I'm back where I belong. > I was born a no-goodnik, and I'll die a no-goodnik. > Seymour! I didn't bring you up to use language like that!

She lets go, stands with her hands on her hips, and then points at him as he hunches forward, rubbing his neck, before the scene shifts to the two of them in a room with a pan on a stove. > Well, you didn't bring me up at all. The hell I didn't! > I've been taking care of you for 26 years! > I'm the only mother you've ever known. But you have your real son. > You're my real son.

She gestures with open hands, then reaches toward him, presses her hand to her chest, and points at him with an indignant expression while he listens, and in the final moment he grins nervously as she leans in close beside him. > You've been my son longer than he has, and he doesn't need me, and I don't need him. > Now you march yourself downstairs and get in that car. > Yes, Mother. And the rest of you, too.

The packed wagon pulls away down a suburban street past pink houses, a woman with orange curly hair in a pink vest, and a stocky man in a peach shirt, while Chief Wiggum in his police cap stands outside a building with a lavender door. > Yes, Mrs. Skinner. Yes, Mrs. Skinner.

Homer steps out of the car, then raises one arm and talks as Skinner stands beside him, later with an arm resting on Skinner's shoulder, and the crowd watches them, including a red-bearded man, a grey-haired woman, and a policeman in a cap at the right. The school's sign reads "Springfield Elementary School," and an American flag flies on a pole at the left. > Everybody, look! Look, Armin Tamzarian's back, and he's gonna take over the school again.

Later, Homer, bald and heavy in a white shirt and blue pants, gestures and talks in front of his family, with Marge's tall blue beehive, Bart, Lisa, Maggie with her pacifier, and Grampa grouped beside him, while a grey-haired man in a suit and a long-haired man with curly black hair stand nearby. > Now, hold on. > Armin Tamzarian is an unsavory character who played us all for chumps. > All right, all right.

Homer talks and gestures with his hand, and his mouth opens and closes as he speaks. Then a crowd gathers outside a building marked SCHOOL, where a heavy man in a purple suit with a MAYOR sash raises a hand to his head, a man with a red mustache in green overalls and a black-haired woman in a pink shirt gesture and talk, and a man in a red sweater stands in the doorway as a crowd reacts. > I don't care. > His mom doesn't care. Do any of you care? > You all seem to be forgetting that I am Seymour Skinner.

Behind him, a crowd of townspeople looks on, including Marge with her tall blue beehive, Maggie with a pacifier and blue bow, Homer in a white shirt, a police officer in a cap, and Edna Krabappel-like woman with a tall brown hairdo, plus an older woman with white curly hair and a purple beaded necklace. Skinner then grimaces with his arms outstretched again, and finally he lowers his gaze and lets his hands dangle at his sides with fingers splayed. > This is where I belong. > You can't ask me to disappear just because you like some other guy better. > I gave half my life for you people. > Aren't I entitled to a little dignity?

Homer, the bald man with stubble in a white shirt, stands near the front, with Marge's tall blue beehive and Bart and Lisa visible at the far left, and a man in a blue suit and a man in a light blue suit near the centre. Across the ten frames the crowd barely moves: the man in the light blue suit shifts his head slightly and his expression changes a little, while the rest of the group stays still and a woman in a purple outfit stands at the right edge. A low orange wooden barrier sits in the bottom left corner. > You're, uh... you're right, Sergeant.

Homer, in a white shirt and blue pants, moves into the foreground on the left, gesturing with a raised finger and then an open hand toward Burns while Burns and Skinner stay silent and a uniformed police officer stands at the far left. Homer's expression shifts from talking with an open mouth to a tight-lipped grin with narrowed eyes as the group remains standing together. > Well, I don't see any way out of this. Now, if you'll allow me, > I think I have a solution that'll satisfy the town and let Sergeant Skinner keep his > dignity. > But I'm a hero!

The crowd cheers and raises their arms as the car rolls slowly to the right toward a large brown boxcar at the edge of the scene. In the final moments, a band in red uniforms appears at the right, with a tuba player among them. > And we salute you for it. Now don't come back.

Among the crowd are Marge with her tall blue beehive, Lisa in her red dress, Bart in his orange shirt, a bearded man with red hair, and one of Marge's grey-violet-haired sisters, Patty or Selma, all raising their hands and cheering. The scene then moves outdoors to a station platform where the same crowd waves and cheers as a flatbed rail car carrying a tall tiered cake rolls along the tracks past a red-and-green signal light and a small wooden house. > I'm sorry, Seymour. It's nice you're alive, > but you're just not what I'm looking for in a son. > I'm glad you understand.

Skinner grins and then talks with a pained expression while Homer listens with a flat stare, and Skinner spreads his hands in a shrug as Homer gestures open-handed and grins. In the final moments a figure in dark clothing edges in from the left while Skinner looks down with his eyes closed. > This is a lovely gesture, > but we still have to face the fact that I'm not really Seymour Skinner. > Oh, no, we don't, Judge Snyder.

Principal Skinner, with neat grey hair, a grey-blue suit and an orange tie, stands in the right foreground looking toward the robed man, and the scene then shifts outdoors to Skinner alone in front of a house, a fence and a purple-topped structure, his mouth pursed. > I hereby confer upon you the name of Seymour Skinner, as well as his past, > present, future, and mother.

Behind him, a man with a moustache and glasses and a grey-haired man in a suit and bow tie look on. He speaks sternly with his mouth opening and closing, clenches his teeth and narrows his eyes, then leans toward the camera as he continues to speak in a menacing tone. > And I further decree that everything will be just like it was before all this happened, > and no one will ever mention it again, > under penalty of torture.

Across the moment the crowd lifts their arms and cheers, with the bald man raising both hands high and the child raising one arm, all with open mouths as they laugh and shout.
