Before this, the opening title card 'The Simpsons' appears over drifting clouds in a blue sky, with the letters coming into view one after another. > The Simpsons Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/1043.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/6048 ## 0:12–0:25 Homer, in a yellow protective suit with a visor and orange harness, works a control booth beneath a CAUTION sign and a glowing green rod while Mr. Burns and Smithers watch from behind the console. Marge, with her tall blue beehive, reads a Mom Monthly magazine at a Kwik-E-Mart checkout beside a CHECKS sign, while Maggie, with a pacifier and blue bow, is laid on the counter by a cashier in a grey apron and later sits in a wire shopping cart that Marge pushes and gestures beside. Visible objects include a Frosted Krusty Flakes box on the magazine cover and a yellow soda bottle on the counter.

Lisa then runs down an orange-walled hallway carrying the saxophone, past a bust of a composer and posters. Outside, Bart in an orange shirt opens the door of a pink car in a driveway beside a yellow garage, and Homer, bald with a white shirt and blue pants, stands by the car before bending down to fiddle with the door, with a mailbox and a brown wall nearby.

In the early part of the scene Homer, in a white shirt and blue pants, stands by a red bed-like couch near a door while Bart and Lisa are caught in a burst of fire in the foreground as Marge reaches out toward the lamp. The scene then shifts to the family sitting together on the couch, with Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart sitting close and smiling. The screen then cuts to a blue television displaying the yellow text "CREATED BY MATT GROENING", followed by a second screen reading "DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS MATT GROENING SAM SIMON".

He points, then raises his arms and the ball in triumph, and the screen bursts into a yellow flash. It then cuts to a soccer match, with players in yellow and red kits running on a field in front of a packed stadium. > Open wide for some soccer! > The Canonet of Soccer Association is coming to Springfield.

On a packed-stadium pitch, a player in an orange shirt and a player in a red shirt chase the ball, while a player in blue shorts and socks kicks it and a goalkeeper in green lunges and misses it as the ball rolls into the net. A referee in a black suit raises a pistol beside a scoreboard reading time and a quarter with Duff beer signs, and the green-shirted player leaps with arms raised before a Duff Beer blimp drifts over a purple sky. The player then high-fives a bus driver in a blue cap leaning from a bus window. > It's all here. Fast kicking, low scoring, and ties. > You bet.

The scene then cuts to the Simpson living room, where Bart lies on a striped rug beside Lisa, who wears a pearl necklace, as Marge holds Maggie on the couch and Homer stands behind them. Bart pushes up and turns toward Homer as the credit lines "Co-Executive Producer" with the names George Meyer, David S. Cohen and Richard Appel appear across the bottom, and Homer stands with a hand on his hip while the family looks on. > Hey, Dad, how come you never taken us to see a soccer game? > I don't know.

The fireworks keep bursting and fading behind them while the faces shift and smile or squint at the viewer. Near the end a small red-haired figure drifts across the screen before a moustached man takes over the view, with the bright bursts continuing throughout. > You'll see all your favorite soccer stars like Arriaga, Arriaga 2, > Barriaga, Aruglia, and Pizzotza.

He then raises both fists in excitement, and on the television a soccer ball and then a green-and-blue globe roll across a stadium pitch with a dark-haired man's head peeking over them. Mexican and Portuguese flags slide in and sit side by side over the globe, and the screen finally bursts into a white starburst on orange. > Oh, I never heard it out, people. And they'll all be signing autographs. > Woo-hoo! > This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. > Mexico or Portugal.

The scene then cuts to an aerial view of the oval Springfield Stadium, its arena surrounded by parked cars and scattered debris, while a crowd gathers outside. The stadium's marquee reads "SPRINGFIELD STADIUM. TONIGHT: SOCCER. TOMORROW: MONSTERS OF POETRY." > Can we go, Dad? Please, Dad, please, Dad, can we go? > Can we go, huh, please? > Yes, yes, oh, God, yes!

The scene then moves to Marge and Bart at a railing overlooking a green stadium field under floodlights, where a dark-haired man in a white shirt and red bow tie stands and Bart reaches out toward him. White credit text over the scene reads 'Consulting Producers Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein', 'Consultant John Swartzwelder', 'Supervising Director Jim Reardon', and 'Produced by Colin A.B.V. Lewis' followed by 'J. Michael Mendel Bonita Pietila'. > Oh, I'll kill myself if Portugal doesn't win. > It's hard to believe this used to be an internment camp. > Yo, Paella man, wing one up here.

Bart, in an orange shirt, and Lisa, in a red dress and pearls, sit in stadium seats beside a bald man in a green shirt, Bart eating from a bowl while Lisa holds a small black object and speaks, with the credit 'Produced by Richard Raynis' on screen. The scene then shifts to a stadium where a Black soccer player in a white kit with number 7 waves and steps up to a microphone while a suited man with a red tie stands beside him, with players and a referee lined up behind. > Hey, look, it's Pele. > Pele is king of the soccer field.

He then walks onto a grassy pitch holding a dollar-sign ball as a man in a blue suit and red tie receives it, and the player walks away across the field while the suited man follows, with the credit Directed by Pete Michels shown and green-shirted players watching from the sidelines. > use Crestfield wax paper.

On a green pitch with a white centre circle, green-shirted players dribble and pass a black-and-white ball among red-shirted opponents, moving it toward the middle and back across the circle. Between plays, the packed stands cheer with raised fists, including fat Chief Wiggum in his blue police cap and a man with blue hair, while the ball keeps travelling across the pitch.

Players in green and red kits, none clearly named, pass and kick a black-and-white ball around a central center circle, with a white halfway line dividing the field. The ball moves from the center to the left side, then a green-shirted player kicks it near the circle and it rolls toward the left edge, while the red-shirted players on the right side shift their positions and the stadium floodlights stand above the crowd.

At first the crowd cheers with raised arms and waving green and red pennants beneath tall floodlight towers and a small booth. Over the moment the energy fades, the arms drop, and Barney and the others settle into bored, sullen expressions, with Barney's hand moving up to his face. > Boring. > Come on, you schnorrers. Do something.

He holds his white-gloved hands up beside his face and his mouth opens wide, then shifts into a clenched, gritted-teeth grimace, then opens again as his expression stays wide-eyed and anxious. Throughout the sequence he keeps repeating this agitated, pleading pose, with the crowd behind him remaining in place.

He starts with his mouth open as if speaking, then purses his lips, lets his eyes droop and close, and tightens his mouth into a grimace, before grinning with his teeth showing and settling back into a flat, bored expression with his mouth closed. > Halfback passes to the center. > Back to the wing. > Back to the center. > Center holds it. > Holds it.

A Black man in a brown jacket, white shirt and teal tie, with a magnifying glass or microphone in hand, sits beside him at the desk, with the heads of two people in the foreground along the bottom. He leans forward, speaks animatedly, gestures with an open hand raised, then grows more agitated, with his mouth open and eyes wide. A round wall clock hangs on the blue paneled wall behind them. > Halfback passes to center. Back to wing, back to center. > Center holds it! Holds it! > Holds it! I can't bear this any longer. I'm leaving.

Ned Flanders, with his moustache, glasses and green sweater, stands in the crowd and gestures while a grey-haired man in a green turtleneck sits in the foreground beside a staircase. Moe turns to Ned, opens his mouth, then grips Ned's head with both hands as Ned's face strains and the green-sweatered man looks on. Ned keeps talking while Moe holds on, and the scene ends with a brown-haired man in a dark green shirt shouting and pointing at the green-sweatered man as Moe clenches a fist. > Yeah, not before me, you ain't. > Now, now, there's plenty of exits for everyone. > Oh, that's it. You're dead, pal. > Hey, now. That's uncalled for. That's your hole, Skinner.

He gapes in shock, and the crowd erupts into a flailing melee of waving arms and open-mouthed shouting fans, with a man in a striped green shirt and a bee-costumed figure among them. The scene settles as Ned Flanders, with his moustache, glasses and green sweater, leans over the seats at the left while a red-bearded man in green overalls gestures angrily beside a seated man with his feet up. > I call this a soccer riot.

The overalled man gestures and grabs the cap-wearing man's arm, then the brown-jacketed man holds up a rolled purple object as the group turns hostile. The scene shifts to a crowded stadium under floodlights where men shout and fight, then to two white-gi karate fighters with black belts sparring on a green mat, and finally to a spiky blue-haired boy in a white shirt cowering on wooden stairs amid flying debris while a red-sweatered boy carries a pink-shirted boy down the steps past onlookers. > Come on, boys, let's take him to school.

A brown-haired man in a vest grapples with Milhouse on the steps, and a stocky red-bearded man in a tank top and striped cap swings a metal pipe at a terrified man in a red jacket while Homer throws his arms wide. Fans tumble over seats and thrown debris litters the stairs and rows, with a bloodied spot on the steps. > Homer, we've got to get out of here. Oh, but I want to do some rioting. > Jobbers? Cob milk, your maca! > All done.

A man in a red jacket and a thin man in a light blue shirt stand by a blue car that bursts into flames, with a passenger in the back and a crowd running past. The camera-free scene then pulls back to a snowy Springfield at night under a full moon, where many houses burn and smoke columns rise while small figures run through the streets. > What began as a traditional soccer riot has escalated into a citywide orgy of destruction.

Behind him, a group pushes a red car, someone hoists a metal trash can overhead, and a bottle flies out of a pink house's window. A brown dog trots along the sidewalk, a door hangs off its hinges at the blue house with the striped awning, and a man carries something from the porch while Brockman ends with a wide-eyed grin. > Reacting swiftly, Mayor Quimby has declared mob rule. > So for the next several years, it's every family for itself.

Ned raises a finger and then reaches toward the door as the man walks off with the TV past a planter and a boxy window. Behind barred windows, Homer slumps in a chair in the living room, while Marge, Lisa and Bart look out with worried expressions, Marge covering her cheek with her hand and Bart spreading his arms wide. > Excuse me, sir. I think you've got my TV. > Sir? > Somebody's got to stop them. > Let's wait until they burn the school down. > Oh, my God. > Homer, they're right next door. > Relax, Marge.

In the living room, Homer leans on the back of a couch while Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, grips her face in alarm in front of the fireplace. The tin swings down toward the bowl, and the goldfish leaps out of the water in a spray of droplets. > Watch the fish, Marge.

The moment cuts to a blue van parked outside a house, its side plate reading EX-CON HOME SECURITY with the slogan From the Big House... To Your House. Back inside, the salesman talks and gestures, holding a small case in one hand and reaching toward a remote control on a table, while Marge and Homer watch. > Looks like you called me just in time. > This home isn't secure at all. > What did I tell you, Marge?

The man talks and gestures, shifting his stance and placing a hand at his hip, as Marge stares at him. The scene then moves to Marge in the kitchen beside a purple lamp and a turquoise telephone, with a brown grocery bag on the counter behind her, as she looks off to the side and raises a hand to her chin. > Intruders could come in down the chimney, > through the mail slot even hidden in your grocery. > Did you change the locks when you moved in?

Later he stands in the room with his hands behind his back, gesturing with an open hand and then placing a hand on his chest while Homer and Marge look on. Visible details include a framed sailboat picture, a window with yellow curtains, a small TV on the left, a bookshelf on the right, and a round framed portrait on the wall behind him. > I thought not. All the previous owners of this house could still be in here somewhere. > What do you recommend? > Well, a lot of companies would put in a pretty system that looks good, > but doesn't provide any real protection.

He moves to the window, which shows a wooden fence and a tree, and points outside, then lifts a small oval portrait from the pink wall. Back on the sofa, Homer talks and raises a finger as Marge looks on, with a turntable on a purple shelf by the window and a red lamp nearby. > Oh, let's get that. But if you really want to sleep easy at night, > I recommend sealing off every door and window with bulletproof lucite. > Wouldn't we all suffocate? > Well, I should hope not.

The scene then moves outside to the Simpsons' front door with its WELCOME mat, where the salesman hurries up the walkway carrying a brown briefcase while Homer, in his white shirt and blue pants, waves a hand from the doorway. The two then stand talking on the porch, Homer leaning in the open purple-trimmed doorway with his hands on his hips and gesturing, as the salesman holds his briefcase and gestures back. > And you can have it all for just $500. > $500? > Oh, forget it. > But surely you can't put a price on your family's lives. > I wouldn't have thought so either, but here we are.

Marge, in her green dress and red bead necklace, stands with her hands clasped while Homer talks, then Homer pulls her close and embraces her. The pair then sit together on the blue-carpeted staircase beneath a framed picture, holding hands, with Homer grinning and speaking as Marge looks up at him. > Homer, we need something to protect this family. > I couldn't agree more, Marjorie.

Homer first grins broadly at the viewer, then his grin tightens into a stern stare as he lifts a large gun and aims its barrel toward the viewer, and the picture fades to black. When the scene returns, Homer grips a heavy weapon up near his face and then levels a handgun with a glare, while a NEW tag hangs on the wall behind him. > Would you like to buy your deadliest gun, please? > Aisle six, next to the sympathy cards.

Homer then raises a large black revolver high and grins while aiming it, and the clerk ducks down behind the counter. Finally Homer holds the revolver's barrel against his own head, with handguns and revolvers resting on the counter below. > Whoa, careful there, Annie Oakley. I don't have to be careful. > I got a gun. > Well, you'll probably want the accessory kit, holster, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/370996.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/373707 ## 6:17–6:28 Homer, in a white shirt, stands in a gun shop beside a balding man with a thin moustache, green shirt and red tie who works behind the counter. Homer first looks skeptical in front of an aisle sign and a Confederate flag while the clerk holds up a brown holster, a bandolier, a blue funnel-shaped piece and a blue tube-like device with a metal frame, and Homer grins and points at the display. Later, at the counter, the clerk hoists a large grey cylindrical gun attachment while Homer watches, with NRA Flags boxes, an 'Assorted Duck Decoys' sign and 'AISLE' signs visible in the shop. > bandolier, silencer, loudener, speed cocker. > Ooh, I'd like the sound of that. > And this is for shooting down police helicopters.

Across the counter, a bald, moustached shopkeeper in a light green shirt and red tie holds a black handgun up in one hand, then Homer grabs the gun and the two struggle over it on the counter, with Homer's face turning angry and the shopkeeper's gripping it tightly. Rifles hang on a rack in the window behind them, and pistols are mounted on the wall to the right, with a small American flag hanging at the left edge of the frame. > Oh, I don't need anything like that. > Yet. > Just give me my gun.

A bald, mustached clerk in a teal shirt and maroon tie grips a handgun, and Homer grabs the other end of it and jabs a finger in his direction before the clerk pushes it back at him. Homer then walks off past a glass case of candy toward a barred door, exits the shop, and climbs into the driver's seat of a pink car parked outside beneath the "BLOODBATH & BEYOND GUN SHOP" sign. > But I'm mad now.

In the later images the view dissolves into a blurred, tinted overlay with Homer's mouth open and his teeth showing, and the scene then cuts to a two-story house with a garage, arched windows and a front lawn at dusk. The house stays on screen as the frames gradually darken and drift, ending on a closer view of the same house.

Homer, the bald heavy man in light blue pyjamas, appears in the open doorway on the right, looking on as Lisa sits up, yawns and turns toward him while he stands with a sheepish expression. The room has a lamp, an alarm clock on the nightstand, and a framed clown picture on the wall. > It's 3 a.m. > Can't you mutter in your room? > March kicked me out Uh, all right.

She sinks back under the blue blanket and lies down with a pillow over her head, and Homer steps out of the doorway and leaves the room, leaving the bed, lamp, alarm clock and music stand in view. The painting of a clown and a dog hangs on the wall above the bed. > Go ahead. > Pushy kids think they can tell me what to do in my house. > I tell you parents these days they don't know how to rear children.

He raises a hand to his mouth, chewing and grimacing with wide eyes, then leans back in the chair, grinning tensely as his gaze drifts sideways. The yard stays the same throughout, with no visible on-screen text. > Uh-oh. > How am I supposed to last five days without shooting something?

A white truck with a red target logo and partly visible 'DEPARTMENT' lettering drives past from left to right, its driver in a green cap visible in the cab. Afterward, a group of white ducks waddles across the street in front of him while the sun drifts to the right.

Over the moment, white rabbits hop across the sidewalk and street behind him, the sun shifts position in the sky and seems to move across the scene, and a bicycle wheel rolls into view at the left edge. By the end, Patty and Selma, grey-violet haired twins, ride a tandem bicycle past him, with the bike passing from left to right in front of his chair. > You take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/455246.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/458375 ## 7:42–7:51 Homer sits in a green-and-white woven lawn chair on the grass with his back to us, while Patty and Selma pedal a bicycle past at first and then leave. Ned Flanders, with his moustache, glasses and green sweater, leans over Homer's head from a red riding mower that pulls up beside the chair and then drives off down the street.

He then kicks the door and peers through the bars at a bald, mustached man in a mint shirt and red tie, who walks away into the shop past gun displays and an aisle sign. Homer runs in past the wall-mounted pistols toward the restroom door, while the man walks over to the glass counter of handguns and leans on it. > come on, open up! > Oh, that's just dumb.

Rifles hang on the wall behind them and handguns sit in glass cases below, while the clerk writes on a paper form with a pen and later holds a clipboard and pen. Homer shifts from a wide-eyed, uneasy look to leaning on the counter with his arms folded and then gesturing with a grin, while the clerk glances up and keeps working through the paperwork. > Now, I believe you have some sort of firearm for me. > Well, let's see here. > According to your background check, you've been in a mental institution.

The man in green holds a printed sheet with film-strip edges and reads from it while Homer first stares and speaks with his mouth open, then looks dazed. Homer leans in with a scowl and clenched teeth, the man raises a finger to Homer's face to hush him, and Homer grips the paper with an angry expression. > Yeah. > Frequent problems with alcohol. > Oh, yeah. > You beat up President Bush. Former president.

The scene shifts to the pink living room, where Marge with her tall blue beehive sits on the brown couch while Bart, Lisa and Maggie lie on a colorful rug in front of a television, and Homer stands nearby beside a red lamp and a hanging tree ornament. Homer speaks and gestures, then Marge closes her eyes and sighs. > Potentially dangerous? > Relax, that just limits you to three handguns or less. > Woo-hoo! > Close your eyes, Marge. I've got a surprise for you.

Homer, first seen in a close view of his face and gun barrel, stands pointing a black handgun at Marge, who sits on the brown couch with a wide-eyed, startled look while a pink wall, a lamp and an orange vase decorate the room. Homer then turns to the right, holding the gun up in front of an arched doorway with a window onto a yard, grinning and pointing it toward the viewer while the scene ends with a close view of the revolver. The children on the rug remain still, one holding a bowl and the other a slice of food. > Okay, open your eyes. > Hey, it's a handgun! Isn't it great? > This is the trigger, and this is the thing you point at whenever you want to die.

Lisa, with her star-shaped spiky hair and pearl necklace, and Bart, in his orange shirt with arms folded, sit on a colorful rug beside baby Maggie, who plays with wooden blocks and sucks a pacifier. Homer, bald and stubbled in a white shirt, stands by the pink wall with a hanging orange and teal vase, rubbing his chin and looking uneasy. Later, Lisa sits leaning back against Bart, who sits behind her; Lisa looks off with a sly expression while Bart glances sideways, then grins and points toward the arched brown doorway, as if suggesting something. Lamps, bookshelves and a pink room with a brown door fill the background. > Homer, I don't want guns in my house. > Don't you remember when Maggie shot Mr. Burns? > I thought Smithers did it. That would have made a lot more sense. > Hey, Dad, can I borrow the gun tomorrow? > I want to scare that old security guard at the bank.

Homer first holds a revolver up beside a pink wall with a hanging ornament, then Marge takes the gun and points it while Homer raises his hands in protest. The two struggle as Marge pushes Homer's face away and grips the gun, which ends up dangling from her hand near a lamp and telephone. Marge then wraps her arms around Homer while he stretches his arms out wide and she holds the revolver away from him. > Only if you clean your room. > No! > No one's using this gun. > The TV said you're 58% more likely to shoot a family member than an intruder.

Beside him, Lisa Simpson, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair and a pearl necklace, stands in front of a bookshelf and a stereo, her eyes wide and her mouth open as she speaks, then grimacing with clenched teeth and looking sideways before speaking again. > TV said that? > But I have to have a gun. It's in the Constitution. > Dad, the Second Amendment is just a remnant from revolutionary days. > It has no meaning today. > You couldn't be more wrong, Lisa.

Homer stands with his hands on his hips, gestures with an open hand, then crosses his arms and leans forward, shouting and glaring while Lisa stands with her arms out to the side. He jabs a finger at her and then reaches toward her, with a small oval mirror on the wall showing a reflection of a woman with a tall blue beehive, and Lisa responds with a tight-lipped, unimpressed look. > If I didn't have this gun, > the King of England could just walk in here anytime he wants and start shoving you around. > You want that? > Huh? > Do you? > No. All right, then.

Homer first holds up a framed portrait of Marge and then crosses his arms and grins while Lisa glares. Marge grabs a black handgun and Homer lunges to pin her arm and clutch her shoulders while she raises the gun overhead, then the two struggle together by the speaker stack and bookshelf. Homer releases her, and Marge ends up holding the gun at her side while Homer stands with a worried expression beside her. > I'm sorry, Homer. No weapons.

He stays in place while his expression shifts across the moment: wide-eyed and grimacing, then mouth open as he speaks, eyes squeezed shut and teeth bared, and finally he raises one hand with fingers pinched together as he gestures and talks. Nothing else in the scene changes around him. > A gun is not a weapon, Marge. It's a tool, > like a butcher knife or a harpoon or an alligator. > You just need more education on this subject.

At first Homer looks startled with his mouth open, then he steps up beside her, grinning, resting a hand on her shoulder and gesturing with a pointing finger as he talks. Marge glances sideways with a wary, half-closed-eyed expression while Homer keeps gesturing, and a yellow curtain, a purple shelf holding books and an orange-capped container, and a small electronic device sit behind them. > Tell you what, you come with me to an NRA meeting, > and if you still don't think guns are great, we'll argue some more.

The bald man is later held at the stanchions as Carl, a police officer, and Homer look on, and the bald man walks off to the right while the officer points at him.

The speaker, a man with a brown hair and a moustache-less face, holds up a black assault rifle, tilting and gesturing with it while his mouth opens to speak, then shifts the rifle higher and sways it in front of the eagle-and-circle seal. Flags stand on either side of the stage, and the podium front shows a red, white and blue rosette. > Assault weapons have gotten a lot of bad press lately, > but they're manufactured for a reason.

Seated in the audience, Marge with her tall blue beehive and Homer in his white shirt watch with their arms crossed, while Krusty in his pink shirt and green pants and a man in a green sweater look on, and Moe keeps glaring and speaking. > Uh, hi, I'm Moe S.

In the close views he grips the lectern, scowls, points off to one side and gestures with one hand, and Krusty in his clown makeup, green hair and pink shirt, and a blue-haired, bespectacled man in a striped sweater watch and react beside him. The wide view then shows the crowd, including Marge's tall blue beehive, raising their arms and cheering as the American and another flag flank the stage and the banner reading 'NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION' hangs above Moe. > Whatever did you do, Moe?

Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt, rises from the folding chairs at left and raises a hand in a wave while Marge's tall blue beehive is visible nearby, and Moe keeps glaring and talking into the microphone as Homer stands waving among the rows of seats. > Hi, I'm Homer S.

Marge, sitting upright at first, turns her head toward Homer as he grips the front of his shirt and leans in, and their exchange plays out with Marge's mouth opening in protest and Homer's brow furrowing. Homer then clasps his hands together, pleading and grimacing, while Marge looks away with a sour, unimpressed expression. The scene ends on a cut to a man in a white lab coat, orange-tinted goggles and headphones aiming a revolver toward the viewer beside a light switch and a door with a small window. > Oh, come on, be fair, Marge.

Targets are riddled with bullet holes, and a fallen silhouette target lies on the floor with spent shells scattered around it. A blue-grey-haired woman in a purple dress and a green-shirted man in a gun belt stand behind the glass, and Homer takes aim with a pistol, pausing as the scene closes on the firing booth with red light switches on the walls and an EXIT sign above the door.

Red-tinted beams hit cans of Blizz Cola, spraying dark splatter, and then the scene shifts to the Kwik-E-Mart's snack bar, where a young clerk behind a counter marked with blood watches Homer aim the gun. Homer then walks across the parking lot toward the store, gun in hand and a blue item under his arm, and steps into the doorway beneath the Kwik-E-Mart sign and its Duff Beer and Jackpot posters. > Sorry. > My fault.

Homer points a black handgun at Apu, who raises both hands in surrender while standing behind the counter with a sign reading NO: CHECKS, CREDIT CARDS, FOOD STAMPS. Homer holds the gun up at Apu, then turns to face the counter as the scene shifts to a close view of the cash register, the CASH mat, and Apu with his hands raised beside a window showing rain, while Homer, now at the snack shelves, aims the gun at him. > Don't shoot. > Just take the money and get out. > What? > Oh, Appu, I would never. > Or would I?

The screen blurs into a hazy wash as the view shifts to the Simpson house, a large yellow mansion with a red roof and steps, where Marge, with her tall blue beehive, stands at the open front door beside a figure in a dark uniform and cap, who holds a smoking object. Marge then raises a hand to her head as the smoke drifts up, with a small 'HOME' sign visible on the lawn at the right edge. > I've already gone this far. > I wonder what my life would be like if I robbed the Quickie Mart.

Homer then turns his attention away from the porch, and in the following scenes he is seen in a car in front of a Kwik-E-Mart storefront, its sign reading MART and a sign advertising beer, gripping the steering wheel while biting into a large sandwich, first grinning and then chomping with his mouth wide open. > I'll do it. I'll rob the Quickie Mart. > All right, put your... Oh! Oh, well. > I'll rob it next time.

Lisa stands in front of the car in the early frames, then Homer enters from the top right edge and moves down beside the car. Lisa looks up, then points upward with her arm, and Homer stands with his hands at his sides, looking up. A large orange basketball sits on a brown tiled rooftop-like surface in the lower right, with a dark puddle-like stain on the pavement near the car. > Can you help me get my ball down from the roof, Dad? > Sure thing, honey.

Homer first looks up at the roof, then raises a handgun and fires it upward, a wisp of smoke rising from the barrel. A large orange basketball flies up past the chimney, then drops and bounces onto the driveway beside Lisa, who watches with a wary expression. Homer keeps the gun raised, and as the ball flattens on the pavement, Lisa looks up at it. Homer then lowers the gun toward her and she grabs his leg and pushes against him, glaring, while he looks back up at the roof. > You want me to get the cat down? > No, thanks.

Bart tosses plates from the doorway area and Homer fires, then the close-up shows Homer glaring and grimacing as shards of a shattered plate scatter around his head. Blue sky, a pink house with a dark roof, a green hedge, and a stack of plates on the porch are visible. > Pull! > Missed one, Dad. > See you in hell, dinner plate.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stands in the kitchen holding a glass of spaghetti, chewing and then speaking with her mouth open as she glances sideways, and the scene shows a kitchen with a pink utensil rack, a wall basket of bread, and a red coffee grinder on the counter. > Mmm. > I'm... > Does anyone know where all my dinner plates went?

Homer raises a black revolver beside his head with a grin while Bart looks on, then lowers it with his eyes closed. The scene moves to the kitchen, where Homer sits at the blue-draped table holding the black cat Snowball II while Marge, arms folded, Lisa and Maggie watch, and Homer then turns toward Bart, who sits at the table. > Um... > You probably left them at work. On another topic, > guess who has picked to host the next NRA get-together? > Homer, I told you this morning, no guns at the dinner table. > You said the breakfast table. It's the same table.

Bart and Lisa sit at the table with muffin tins, a pan and jars of food nearby, while Maggie stands behind them near the counter. Homer then grins while pointing at the gun, and in the last frame he clutches his chest in pain as a red glow flashes from the gun, with a framed portrait of Marge pinned to the corkboard behind the table. > Listen, if it'll make you feel any better, I'll put the safety on. > Oops, guess it was already on Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/792667.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/797046 ## 13:22–13:35 Homer sits at the blue kitchen table holding a revolver, then sets it down and gestures with his hands while looking alarmed. A spinning knife wheel by the counter throws a blade that strikes a corkboard photo of Marge, who has a tall blue beehive and a red bead necklace, and bullet holes already mark the picture. The scene then moves to the family at the dinner table: Lisa, Bart, Homer, Maggie in her high chair with a pacifier, and Marge, who all look on at bowls and casserole dishes of food. > Yeah, I better just put it down > No offense bomb, > but that was pretty cool homer I think you'd agree that I've put up with a lot Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/803511.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/808725 ## 13:35–13:46 Homer, the bald man in a white shirt seen from behind, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stand at a kitchen counter beside a purple toaster while Marge glances at him, opens her mouth in alarm, then shuts her eyes and grimaces. Homer turns to face the pink utensils hanging on a rail by the microwave, then Lisa and Bart appear seated at a blue table with glasses of noodles and a muffin tin, both frowning with arms folded.

Marge clasps her hands together and pleads, then gestures with an open hand while Homer looks on, worried. In the final frames Homer stands alone behind the revolver on the table, with a microwave, pink utensils on a rack and a green star-shaped sticker on the white fridge behind him. > if you really care about me and the children, please, > please get rid of the gun.

Homer then gets up and embraces Marge, who smiles with her eyes closed, and the hug tightens as they hold each other close, with Marge resting her head on his shoulder at the end. Kitchen details such as a microwave, a coffee maker, and pink utensils hang on the wall behind them. > All right, Marge. > I'll do it. > For you. > I'm a lucky woman. > And I'm a wonderful man.

Bart, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt, reaches up high on a tall grocery shelf stocked with boxes while Milhouse, the blue-haired boy with glasses, watches from below. Bart then stretches over a store freezer, reaching down into it while Milhouse stands on a checkered floor with his arms out, looking agitated. Visible items include a microwave, a pink spatula on the wall, and cereal boxes and frozen food in the freezer. > I don't feel them. You said there'd be fudgicals, Bart. > Where's the fudgicals?

He stares down at the gun while his hand rests near the produce, and the scene is set in a kitchen with a wall plaque reading "GOD BLESS THIS" and purple cabinets. > First, it's fudge-sickle, and I know they're up here. > I just need a better foothold. > Hello. > And the next marksman is...

Homer raises a hand and grabs the revolver with Marge while he talks, with a wall calendar and a teapot on a cabinet in the background. > Oh, I see Bart gets to have a gun.

Beside her, Homer Simpson, bald with a white shirt and a large nose, appears at the edge of the scene in the last frames, his eyes wide and nervous as he looks toward her. Marge's expression shifts from stern glaring to grimacing with gritted teeth, while Homer stays still, looking uneasy against the pink wall with a dark wooden arrow sign. > Of all the terrible things you've ever done in your life, this is the worst, > the most despicable.

Marge first faces Homer closely, then in the middle frames she holds a revolver at her side while Homer looks worried. Later Homer clutches his hands together as Marge grabs at him and then turns away, and finally Marge carries baby Maggie, with a pacifier and blue bow, and walks past Lisa in her red dress and Bart in his orange shirt toward the archway, while Homer stays behind and watches them leave. > Until you decide what's more important, your gun or your family. > We can't live in the same house. > Come on, kids.

Homer, bald and heavy in a white shirt and blue pants, stands in the adjacent archway beside the green refrigerator, gesturing with an open hand while holding a brown object, then shifts to a more defiant stance with hands on his hips and a scowl. Near the end he turns his back and walks away down the hallway past a small table, toward a closed door. A red flower arrangement sits in a pot on a purple cabinet at right. > So this is the thanks I get for protecting my family? > Then go. > I'll be just fine.

Selma, with grey-violet hair, appears in the doorway of room 1599 and holds up a small card reading MOTEL, which Marge then looks at closely. The family waits in the hallway as Selma stays at the open door, showing the card. > I've left Homer. Thank God. > So we need a place to spend the night. > Try the sleep easy motel.

The scene closes on a pale green house with a pink arched door and a sign reading GUN WARMING TONIGHT, Nachos, Rifles, Alcohol, NRA, with the sign and house held still across the last frames. > Uh, we have a gentleman caller. > Hey, this TV's not broken.

He turns and walks toward the front door, where a wall coat rack and a small red bench sit, and opens the door to find Moe, the grey-haired bartender in a blue shirt and bow tie, standing outside under a night sky. Moe holds up a brown paper bag and speaks to Homer as Homer stands in the doorway with his back to the viewer. > They're here, they're here! > Hiya, Homer. I brung you a big bag of irregular Oreos.

The scene then cuts to a red pickup driving at night past a row of cars and the glowing 'FAZY' sign of the Sleep-Eazy Motel, with Marge's blue beehive visible inside, before a matchbook reading 'SLEEP-EAZY MOTEL 555-1000' and 'STRIKING' fills the screen. > I don't see what's wrong with this one. > Oh.

Lisa stands with a suitcase and Bart sits on a bag while the women, including a lavender-haired woman in a black dress, a white-haired woman in green fishnets, a curly-haired woman in a pink top and pink boots, and a blonde woman in a red dress, look on. Marge then steps through the office door, pausing in the doorway before going back out, while Bart stays slumped on the pavement and a green bottle sits on the ground nearby. > Looking for a good time, sailor?

Finally, a dark-haired man in a suit and a moustached man with reddish hair and a tank top with a tattoo stand beside a potted plant, the moustached man frowning and moving his mouth. > I've never seen such recklessness. > You might have hurt someone. > Are you some kind of moron?

Krusty jabs his white-gloved finger toward Homer and gesticulates while scowling, shouting and speaking in turns, while Homer looks wary and then glances sideways, his expression tense. Krusty's finger wags and jabs repeatedly as he lectures him, with a dark round vent or hatch visible in the wall beside the arched doorway behind Homer. > Hey, yuts. > Guns aren't toys. > They're for family protection, hunting dangerous or delicious animals, > and keeping the King of England out of your face.

Carl, a Black man in a purple puffy jacket, joins them, gesturing and talking with the remote in hand while Homer stands with his arms folded. The scene then cuts to an exterior where Homer sits alone on the front step of a pale green house with a lilac arched door, its windows glowing yellow. > Right. > Now, since you're no longer a member, please go outside until the meeting is over.

Beside a pool, a man in a green cap and white shirt works a long net to skim a green-clothed body floating face down in the water while Marge and Maggie watch from the railing. The family then enters a motel room with two beds under pink spreads, a dresser and a small TV, and Bart walks toward the TV as dark red stains mark the orange carpet. > Hey, we got a pool. > Can we go swimming, Mom? > Mmm, not right now, dear. > Wow, the TV's going to operate it. And so is the Bible.

Lisa smiles, then closes the book and spreads her hands in a shrug as Bart leans toward a pink-shaded lamp and picks up a pink telephone receiver to his ear. The bedroom also shows the dark blue TV screen and a purple bed. > I'd like to order a wake-up call, please.

He talks on the phone, grinning and rolling his eyes, then hangs up by setting the receiver down on the wooden sideboard, where the pink phone rests with its cord dangling. He turns away with his eyes closed and a smirk, then looks back toward the viewer with a sly, half-lidded expression as the phone sits on the sideboard behind him. > 3 a.m. > For every room except this one. > That's right. > Good night. > Always love trying out new material on the road.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive, is seen sitting on a chair by the window as a white crib stands nearby, after the scene opens outside the Sleep-E-Zy Motel, whose sign reads 'Hourly Rates Adult Movies' above a 'No Vacancy' sign. > No way are you going to beat me this time, Lise. > Yes, I am. Come on, Spotty. > Come on.

The view then cuts to the exterior of the Simpson house at night, its windows glowing warmly, with a pink car parked in the driveway beside a mailbox. Across the final frames, the upstairs and downstairs windows go dark one by one, starting with the left-side window and then the arched windows, until the house is left mostly dim.

He raises and gestures with the gun, pointing it forward and waving it while he talks, and then keeps gesturing at the room. Visible objects include a red chair and blue table on the left, a red lamp, a sink-like vanity with a plate on the right, framed pictures on the walls, and a pail near the bottom of the stairs. > Oh, this gun cost me everything. My wife, my kids. > Everything but my precious, precious gun.

The opening frames show only two small glowing white eyes in pitch darkness. The scene then cuts to a close-up of a small grey box mounted in a jagged hole in a pale green wall, with a red light blinking on and off and a round blue lens at its center, while cracks and specks surround it. > This stinks. > I want my family back. > Hey, is that a camera in the ceiling? > No. > Go back to sleep. > This bed is making me nauseous. Why won't it stop?

They grimace and tremble as the bed shakes, and Marge's eyes dart nervously before she turns and carries the plank toward the twin beds, where the girl lies in the second bed. A dark red stain sits on the orange floor as she lifts the plank and glances around anxiously. > Honey, it'll be morning soon. Try to get some sleep. > Oh, I'm sorry. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E05/1141140.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e05-the-cartridge-family/1145728 ## 19:11–19:22 Herb in a purple suit and a red-haired woman in a red dress stand in a doorway as Marge, with her blue beehive and green dress, turns to face them while holding a wooden plank, with paintings of Krusty on the wall. Marge then turns toward the closed door as Herb peeks out, and the scene cuts to a pink car with glowing headlights at night, where Homer, in his white shirt, grips the steering wheel beneath a flashing Sleep-Easy Motel sign with an 'Hourly rates' placard. Homer then looks down and holds up a small blue object in his hand. > Are you planning to stay the whole night? > Yes. > All right. > Vote Quimby.

He first stands at a doorway on the balcony, then moves along the walkway and leans out over the railing, shouting toward the ground. Later he steps back toward the open doorway at the top of the stairs and holds onto the door frame, and in the final images he stays at the doorway with one hand raised to his mouth. The starry purple sky, the lit pool sign and the dark asphalt below stay unchanged throughout. > Marge? Sorry. > Marge? Oh, sorry. > Marge? Vote Quimby. > Sorry. > Down here, Homer! Oh, Marge, there's so many things I want to yell to you! > Come down here!

Then Homer, bald with stubble in a white shirt and blue jeans, and Marge sit side by side on a pink bed in a bedroom with a wardrobe, a colorful painting on the wall and a nightstand, holding hands while Homer talks and looks worried. Homer's mouth opens and closes as he gazes sideways and Marge looks off with a flat expression. Outside, a two-storey green motel-style building with lit windows and pink railings stands under a purple night sky, with a staircase leading up to it. > Okay! > Oh, honey, please come home. > I need you. > It's dark in the house and I'm hungry and lonesome, > and there's no one there to hear my various witty remarks. > What about the gun?

Homer, bald and wearing a white shirt, stands beside a bed with a pink quilt and a framed painting of a clown, and he clenches his fist near his ear, scowling, then grimaces, shuts his eyes tightly, and looks wide-eyed and startled with his mouth agape. He then looks worried and wide-eyed, raising his hand to his ear before ending up staring to the side with his mouth open, while the pink lamp on the wall stays in place behind him. > It's gone for good, Marge. > I finally realized what's the point of having a gun for protection if you've got no one to > protect.

Homer, in a white shirt and blue jeans, faces Marge, who wears a green dress and a red beaded necklace, and they hold hands, then Homer wraps his arms around her in an embrace while she leans her head against him. They pull apart and hold hands again, smiling, and Marge turns toward the open orange door at the right. In the final moments Bart in green pajamas and Lisa in a teal dress appear in the doorway behind the bed, cheering with their arms raised while Homer and Marge keep holding hands. > Oh, homie. > Come on, kids. > We're going home. > Yay!

Homer and Marge stand at a wooden counter while a brown-haired woman in a white tank top hands over a pink slip. A scruffy man with a mustache, earring and tattoo leans in, then bites into a wedge of food from a white box, mouth wide, and finally holds up the greasy empty box, with a cash register and a spike of receipts on the counter. > Okey-dokey. Here's your bill and your continental breakfast.

The robed man grimaces and cries out while held in place, and a stained-vest clerk behind a "Cash Only" register raises his hands in alarm. > All right, everybody, hands up. You give me the cash drawer. > Do what he says. I'm too rich to die.

A dark-haired man in a white karate gi with a belt, holding a knife near his head, stands in front of a reddish-haired man in a blue vest, who has his hands raised. The karate man then walks away from the blinds and through a purple doorway marked 'Adult Movies' with a 'No Vacancy' sign, while Troy McClure's raised arm stays at the right edge. The sign swings on its hanging bracket as the scene settles, with a trash can, a litter pile and a blue vending machine on the sidewalk. > Freeze, bad guy! > Vote Quimby!

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress with red beads, stands nearby, going from a wide-eyed grimace to a scowl while a potted bare tree sits at the right. The gun is suddenly snatched away by a yellow hand from the left edge while Homer throws his hands up and Marge gasps. > Okay, man, don't shoot. > Chill. > Homer, you said you got rid of the gun. You lied to me. > Again. > I know I said that, but what I secretly meant was... > Yoink!

Homer lifts a cardboard box of shells labeled SHOT-RITE, then the stranger takes it from him as shells fall toward the floor. Moe, Carl, an elderly woman in purple who resembles Patty or Selma, and a kneeling man in a green sweater aim guns and a rifle at the stranger from beside the shuttered window. > The joke's on you, buddy. There's no bullets in that thing. > Yo, give me the bullets. > Okay, don't shoot. > Drop it!

In the middle, Carl, a Black man in a purple shirt, and an older woman in a purple dress are holding weapons, while Moe, grey-haired in a blue apron, stands in the back doorway. A man in a green sweater with a rifle and a red-haired man in blue overalls move around the floor, and the scene shifts to a close view of Homer and Marge looking nervous. Then the man in the green sweater gestures toward a shelf of cards at the counter while a bearded clerk in a white tank top watches. Finally Lisa, in a red dress and pearl necklace, points at the armed man as the clerk looks on. > Boy! > How did you know we were being robbed? > The clerk here pressed the silent alarm, and we picked it up on our scanner. > Did anyone stop that robber?

The scene shifts to a close view of a revolver with a brown wooden grip lying on the olive ground beside a small orange-and-white cigarette butt. A yellow hand then picks up the revolver, and the final moment shows only the shotgun barrel at the top edge above the cigarette butt on the ground. > No, I don't think so.

Homer holds a dark handgun with a brown grip and gestures with it while speaking, while Marge keeps her arms crossed and looks skeptical. Homer's expression shifts from downcast to wide-eyed and grinning, and he waves his free hand as he talks, with the gun held out between them the whole time. > I'm sorry I lied to you, Marge, but this gun had a hold on me. > I felt this incredible surge of power, like God must feel when he's holding a gun.

Homer holds a dark-handled hammer-like object near the wall, first gesturing and talking with wide eyes, then grinning and drawing back, and later pressing the dark handle against the wall next to Marge's hand on the branch. Marge watches him with a flat, skeptical look while Homer's expression shifts between nervous grimaces, open-mouthed talking and a smirking, eyes-closed grin. In the final moments Homer stands with his hand outstretched toward the wall as Marge looks on unimpressed. > So please, get rid of it, because I know I'll be able to get rid of it. > I'll just lie to you again and again.

Bart in an orange shirt and Lisa in a red dress walk through the screen door into a lit house at night as Marge watches from beside the plant. Marge then holds up a dark object by one end, looks at it, and lowers it toward the trash can.

She then steps into the open room, a wood-panelled space with a wall calendar showing a lake picture, a red cabinet, and a blue sign with snowy red lettering, where she raises the revolver, then lowers her free hand to her chest while holding a brown purse at her hip with her eyes half-closed.
