Before this, the scene opens on a blue sky with drifting clouds, where the title "THE SIMPSONS" appears in orange letters and builds up word by word. > The Simpsons Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/1043.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/6048 ## 0:12–0:25 Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and baby Maggie appear first in the driveway by the yellow garage, where Bart opens the door of a pink car while Lisa rides a red tricycle past with a stack of books, and Homer stands by the car before ducking his head against its side. The scene then moves indoors to a purple bedroom where Homer, startled, flings out an arm beside a red bed with a cup on it, and to a living room with a brown couch and a sailboat painting, where the family gathers and Marge, Homer and the children move along the back of the couch. The couch back is then shown with Homer hanging from it while Bart, Lisa and Maggie stand on top, and Marge stands behind them on the couch's edge.

In the next moments the dog stops and holds a blue object in its mouth, then the scene cuts to a blue-screen television set in the foreground showing the yellow text "CREATED BY MATT GROENING" that stays on screen. The text then changes to "DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS MATT GROENING SAM SIMON" and remains there until the end, while a sailboat painting hangs on the pink wall above the couch.

Before this, a large yellow sign reading "SPRINGFIELD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT / NO CRASHES SINCE TUESDAY" stands in front of the airport building, and a passenger jet flies overhead past the control tower. The terminal shows a clock above the "WELCOME TO SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT" sign and a pink car visible through the doors. > Thanks for letting me skip school to see the team come back from the championship, Dad.

Homer points toward the Arrivals and Departures board and later reaches out toward Bart beside the Baggage Claim sign, with a rolling suitcase and luggage on the carousel nearby. Bart, in his orange shirt, stands beside Homer as a crowd of travelers passes behind them, and a girl with a purple hairdo stands by the carousel as the scene moves toward it. > I always say, a boy can learn more at an airport than he can at any school.

The uniformed man holds a folder and points toward the cap-wearing man with a nervous look, then laughs and clutches his stomach as Homer moves toward the left edge. On-screen captions credit the consulting producers Jace Richdale, Kevin Curran, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. > Hey, I need to see your claim checks for that luggage. > Oh, of course. I have it right here. > I'll need to see yours, too.

The young man gestures and argues, then the bald man grabs his shirt and pushes nose to nose with him, and the redhead lunges and pins him against her shoulder. The young man slumps to his knees and then collapses face-down on the floor, dropping his folders, as the redhead stands over him holding a small blue birdhouse-like object. > You got it! I'll take your word for it. You're just doing your job!

Next, at a newsstand, a mustached man in a black cap and green shirt rests his chin on his hand while Apu, in a green jacket, holds up a small yellow item and talks, then grins and hands it over to a grey-haired clerk. Text overlays read 'JUST CRICHTON AND KING BOOKSTORE' on the sign and 'Produced by J. Michael Mendel, Bonita Pietila' followed by 'Richard Raynis' in the credits. > Do you have anything by Robert Ludlow? > Get out. > Look at the outrageous markup, you magnificent bastard. > I salute you.

Next, a woman with a reddish-brown bob and an olive top sits on the floor by a blue box, grimacing and reaching toward it, before the scene cuts to an airport where a woman in a purple coat buys from a snack machine beside a sign reading SNACKS, and a bald man in a blue suit and red tie carrying a briefcase and bag walks out of the AIRPORT BAR. > I just got a bunch of fruity Easter eggs. > Eww! Another liver transplant!

He bends down to the floor to pick up a small red object, then sits up and holds it in front of him, turning it over and gripping it against his round belly. The white on-screen credit 'Written by Steve O'Donnell' appears over the lower part of the scene. > Oh, no, not again! > You're not getting away that easy, little fella.

Homer glances around and points toward the line as the robed man reads from the pamphlet. A man in a blue suit then holds up a small book with a cross on its cover and presses it toward Homer, with a framed poster of Paris and a flag on the wall behind them. > Have you heard of Krishna Consciousness? > This part is a crazy man. > Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

A man in a dark blue suit holding a Bible joins them briefly, and then they stop before a woman with a reddish bob in a grey top and black skirt, who holds a blue pamphlet beside a grey-haired man in a grey shirt and black tie. The woman gestures with the pamphlet, and Homer reaches out and takes it, then looks at it. > Right, that'll work. > A new and better life awaits you on our distant home planet, Plastonia. > Hmm, makes sense. Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/108859.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/111361 ## 1:55–2:04 Homer, bald and heavy in a white shirt and blue pants, stands beside Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange-red shirt, while a woman with a reddish bob in a grey blouse and dark skirt and a man with short grey-brown hair in a grey shirt and black tie look on against a lilac wall. Homer holds a blue pamphlet titled "THE MOVEMENTARIANS" with "THE LEADER" printed beneath a portrait of a man above a mountain lodge scene. Homer talks and grins while the woman smiles and speaks, Bart glances up and then sulks with half-lidded eyes, and the man smirks, then grins and speaks as the group keeps standing in place. > We're having a free get acquainted session at a resort this weekend. > How much is this free resort weekend? > It's free. > And when is this weekend? It's this weekend.

Homer holds a blue pamphlet while talking excitedly, and the two adults listen with skeptical expressions before Homer grabs Bart's hand and pulls him away. As they hurry off, Homer raises the blue flyer, which shows a cartoon figure, while Bart is dragged along behind him. > Uh-huh. And how much does it cost? > Um, it's free. > I see. And when is it? It's this weekend. > And what are you charging for this free weekend? > Come on, Dad, the team's arriving. > It's free, right?

In the plane's doorway, Carl, a Black man in a red cardigan, gestures expansively as a man with swept-back hair in a blue blazer and a red-haired man in a red jacket stand beside him. The group then steps down toward the waiting crowd, the men with bags leading the way and the spectators stretching behind them. > Hey, look! > There's a big crowd to welcome us back, even though we lost. > Hey, I'll give you something to cry about, you loser.

Moe then jabs a finger outward while a man in a red sweater with glasses is pressed close beside him, and a young man in a red cap and green shirt shouts with his arm raised. The scene shifts to a passenger jet's boarding stairs on a tarmac, where a crowd jostles a man in a red sweater and blue pants being carried overhead, and a man in a red-and-white outfit holds a large orange foam "#1" finger. Small objects like bags and debris fly through the air as passengers climb toward the plane's open door. > You can't catch a football! > Let's see if he can catch a rock!

From an overhead view, the jet sits on a runway with passengers clustered near its boarding stairs, then tilts sideways as its wing catches fire, sending up grey smoke and a blue slide dangles from the fuselage while a figure runs below. The scene then cuts to the Simpsons' two-storey green house at night, with a purple sky, lit windows, a pink garage door and a pink front door.

Marge reads a blue pamphlet, Maggie eats from a bowl, Homer turns and talks while Lisa watches him, and Bart sips from a glass. The scene then shifts to Homer alone at the table, fork raised in one hand, talking and chewing over a plate of food beside a glass of water, with a yellow curtain and a starburst clock on the wall behind him. > Hmm. > I've never heard of these movementarians. > Are they some kind of church? > Who cares what it is? The point is these are some decent, > generous people that I can take advantage of. > But what if they try to talk us into something?

Marge reads a blue book with a picture of a food dish on its cover while Maggie eats from a bowl in her high chair. Homer sits at the table with a plate of food and a glass of water, first looking up with a blank stare, then grinning and talking with his mouth open, and later slumping forward with his eyes half-closed and his head drooping toward the plate. Marge's expression shifts to a wary, sidelong look as she holds the book, and the green kitchen stove with its clock and the yellow carrot-patterned curtain stay in view throughout. > Marge, Marge, Marge. > Remember when those smooth-talking guys tried to sell me a timeshare vacation condo? > You bought four of them. Thank God the check bounced. > So I beat the system.

Later, Homer drives a white van along a red dirt road toward a log building as a woman in a gray skirt and a man in a gray shirt and tie stand by the road, and Lisa rides beside him. The couple then walk away past a wooden 'WELCOME CENTER' sign, followed by a red-haired woman in a pink top and a heavyset figure in a maroon striped shirt and blue shorts. > Watch yourself, Ted. You're the highly suggestible type. > Yes, I am the highly suggestible type. > Welcome, brother.

A woman in a purple dress tumbles aside on the left, and a red-haired woman in a grey blouse and dark skirt flails as the car passes, while a man in a grey suit and tie walks along the roadside. The car then comes to a stop and Homer sits on a grassy bank beneath a large tree beside a blue lake, a tackle box at his side. He casts a fishing line out over the water repeatedly, reeling it back in and casting again, with a small lure visible in the lake and the mountains and clouds behind. > Out of my way, jerk ass! > Na na na na na na na na fishing.

A man with short brown hair in a grey shirt and black tie and a woman with a reddish bob in a matching outfit stand beside him as he grins, gestures with one hand and points with the rod. The two strangers then stand side by side under a blue sky with clouds, the woman with her mouth open as if speaking, while Homer keeps talking and smiling. > Fishing, fishing. > Hi, how are you? > Fishing. > It certainly is a beautiful day. > We should thank the leader.

Beside him, an unfamiliar woman with a short reddish-orange bob, a grey shirt and a black tie stands against a blue sky with clouds and pine trees; she talks animatedly, tilting her head and smiling, then gestures with both open hands raised and looks upward, sometimes pressing one hand to her cheek and sometimes pursing her lips as she speaks. > Who the hell is that? Some kind of leader? > Yes. > He's the head of our perfect family. and when our galactic vehicle is complete, > he will take us to our new home, Blistonia.

A man with short light-brown hair, a grey shirt, black tie and grey trousers stands beside a woman with an orange bob, grey blouse, black tie and grey skirt. The man gestures with open hands and clasps his hands together while talking, and the woman stands with her hands at her sides and then clasps hers at her chest. Homer glances up at them and then speaks while clutching the rod, and the woman gestures with her hands and shrugs with her palms out. > Why don't you come chat with us about the leader at the welcome center? > Will there be beer? Beer is not allowed. > Oh, may no function beer well without. > Would you rather have beer or complete and utter contentment?

The man grins, gestures with an open hand, and then turns to face the viewer with a wide, toothy grin while Homer's eyes widen and his mouth hangs open in alarm, with a red lure dangling on the tree and pine-covered mountains behind them. > What kind of beer? The leader knows how miserable you, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie are. > Really? I'm surprised about Maggie. > Just come up and watch her orientation film. > You're free to leave at any time.

Next, a lodge-style building with a stone chimney, a water tower and a sign reading WELCOME CENTER sits among pine trees. Inside a dim tent, a crowd on benches watches a television showing a white ship with a blue stripe against an orange sky, with Homer's bald head visible at the lower left. > Wow, a free movie! Thanks! Out of my way, jerkass! > Once we collect enough money for fuel, > our leader will throw open the doors of the Forbidden Barn, > where we will all board our intergalactic vehicle, rows 1 through 31st.

The ramp then retracts and the ship rises on a thin cable over a green field with a purple barn and a tree, climbing through pink and purple clouds, past a crescent moon, and into a starry night sky. The ship hovers beneath a large orange and green globe labeled "BLISSTONIA" in blue letters. > Upon our arrival, we will begin our new perfect lives on Blistonia, > well known for its high levels of bliss. > Hey, I don't know about you, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/265891.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/270896 ## 4:37–4:47 Carl, a Black man in a grey jacket and pink sweater, and Barney, a heavy man with messy brown hair and an orange-red shirt, sit on a wooden bench in a crowded hall while Carl talks and gestures, then stands up and steps forward as Barney looks on. The audience sits in rows behind them, and a television on a cart stands at the front beside a woman in a pink skirt. The scene ends on a man with short dark hair and a white collar, seen from behind, staring at a blue wall with rain-like streaks. > but they're not exactly winning me over with these lousy production values here. > I'm gonna slip out. > Uh, you're free to leave whenever you want, but would you mind telling us why? > Oh, I just didn't, uh, I didn't think, um, oh, it's, it's, it's pretty good.

Over several moments he speaks, lifts a hand, and then looks around as the people in the rows behind him watch. In the later frames, Sideshow Bob-like spiky red hair is not present; instead a woman with a green bone-topped hairdo and a green lei, a man in a red visor with headphones and a dark beard, and a man with a thick moustache and a wide-eyed stare sit close together in the front row. The final wide shot shows the packed room with a small black television on a cart near the right side, a woman in a blue skirt beside it, and a man in a red sweater watching the screen. > Man, this whole place puffs into wacky tobacco. > I'm outta here. > Going somewhere?

He talks with his mouth open, then puts his hands on his hips and fidgets at his waistband before stepping backward and tilting his head, slipping lower among the seated spectators. Nearby, a woman with a tall teal beehive, a woman with a red beret and a man with a red tie also watch. > Though you're free to do so. > Uh, now, just rearranging my underwear. > Ah, there it is.

A spotlight beam sweeps over the crowd and some figures shift and turn their heads toward the screen. Near the end, the white caption "SIX HOURS LATER" appears across the bottom of the scene while the audience remains fixed in place. > When you surrender yourself to the movementarians, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/307599.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/311770 ## 5:16–5:26 Several people sit in rows on wooden benches in a dim hall, including a goateed man in a white jacket and a woman in a green cardigan with a brown updo, plus a man in a dark suit with an orange tie, a bow-tied man in a blue shirt and black apron, and a blue-haired older woman with a beard. The crowd looks ahead with wide eyes as the bow-tied man leans forward, grins, then narrows his eyes into a scowl.

Over the moment Carl's mouth opens wide and his eyes stay round, while Barney's eyes squeeze shut in one frame and his mouth gapes as he shouts or sings. A row of unnamed onlookers sits in the background, several with mouths open and eyes wide.

Homer talks and gestures with his open hands, grimacing and grinning while his eyes dart toward the man on the left, who sits with his hands clasped, scowls, and at one point bares his teeth and speaks sharply. Homer's expression shifts between nervous grins, a grimace, and a slack open-mouthed look as he keeps gesturing, and the woman on the right stays motionless with her gaze fixed ahead. > Wait, I'm confused about the movie. > So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up? > What are you talking about? There's nothing like that in there. > You see, when I get bored, I make up my own movie.

Homer talks and gestures, then the woman lifts a hand and points as Homer's expression turns to a startled look. Homer gets up and runs through an open orange door toward a green outdoor landscape of evergreen trees and pink mountains, while the seated woman watches. Once Homer has left the frame, the doorway shows only the empty scene, and Homer is seen running across the grass outside, arms outstretched. > I have a very short attention span. But our point is very simple. > You see when... Oh, look, a bird!

A grey-haired man in a shirt and black tie and a woman with short orange hair stand in front of the circle, first facing each other and then turning toward the seated group. The standing man gestures with outstretched arms, then points at Barney, who grins and then grimaces while the others watch. > The circle of judgment never fails to destroy their self-esteem. > Then he'll be ours to mold. > Let the judgment begin.

Among a group of other seated people, Homer starts with a closed-mouth smile and a sideways glance, then opens his mouth to speak, grins with teeth showing, and finally laughs with his eyes squeezed shut while the others watch. The scene has no visible on-screen text. > Moron, tight up. Unfectious faction! > Hell yeah, I guess I could lose a few pounds. > And I can be kinda thick sometimes.

Skinner speaks with a stern look as Homer's wide eyes and open mouth turn toward him, then Homer leans back, narrows his eyes and grins with his mouth wide open. The group sits on a wooden floor in a room with a window and wooden-framed walls. > You've failed at everything you've ever tried. > Whoa, you've got my number on that one, buddy. > This is a smart group.

Homer leans forward and points at Apu while Moe talks, then reaches out to push at Apu's face, and afterward he settles back in his chair smiling, with Moe still seated and speaking to the group. > And your stink brings tears to my eyes. > Now, wait a minute, Moe. > Oh, my mistake.

A grey-haired man in a shirt and tie and an orange-haired woman in a bob stand near a door, watching Homer, and the man speaks while the woman looks up. Bowls, spoons and a portrait hang on the wooden walls. > Why isn't our low protein gruel wearing down its resistance like all the others? > It doesn't wear down your resistance if you eat a whole month's supply. > He even ate mine.

Beside him, a man with messy dark hair in a green sweater vest and a bow-tied man with glasses and a green jacket eat too, and the bow-tied man slumps face-down onto the table with his spoon still in hand while Homer keeps eating. Afterward, two people in blue shirts and black ties stand near a wooden door and tree trunk, the man with greying hair raising a hand as the woman with a short orange bob looks on. > You gonna finish that, Boney? > Oh, grizzly. > Let's try the chant. > Everyone loves a droning repetitive chant. > Attention, everyone. > Let's all give thanks to the leader for this glorious day.

Seated diners include a man in a teal jacket and orange tie, a green-haired Krusty with a bone through his hair, and a woman with a large afro, while Homer, bald in a white shirt, looks on and raises a knife in the final moment. > The leader is good.

The man touches his chin, then raises a clenched fist and gestures while the woman frowns, speaks, and spreads her arms. Over the moment they keep talking and gesturing in front of the door. > It's no use. > He's obviously the most powerful mind we've ever dealt with. > Or, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-leader. > Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-leader.

Homer lifts a bowl to his face, eats from it with a blue-stained mouth, then sets it down, rises, and thrusts both fists up and shouts with his arms raised in front of a window showing falling rain and pine trees. He then holds his fists up with his eyes shut and finishes with both arms flung wide, his mouth still stained blue. > Leader! > I mean, leader!

The screen then goes black before showing the Simpson family at their pink dining room table: Marge, Maggie in a high chair, Homer, Lisa and Bart eating from plates of food. Homer gestures with both arms and talks with his mouth open as the others listen, with Marge reaching for her fork and Bart and Lisa looking on. > I love the leader! > You what? Come again, Marge? You what? > I've joined the movementarians, and so have all of you.

Later Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, leans in from the table beside Maggie, the baby with a pacifier and blue bow, looking at Homer and speaking to him. The exterior of the Simpson house, with its pink front door and pink garage door, opens the moment under a purple sky. > We what? > All I had to give them was our life savings, the deed to the house, > and a commitment of ten trillion years of labor. > I can't go along with this, Homer.

The family sits in a pink dining room with a green refrigerator and a plate of food in front of each of them. Homer, first scowling and then wide-eyed and sputtering as he speaks, is the focus, while Marge and the kids react with side glances and tense expressions, and in the final stretch Homer leans forward with his hands on the table as Marge and Lisa look on warily. > Marge, when I join an underground cult, I expect a little support from my family. > Dad, do you think you might have been brainwashed? > I have not been brainwashed. > Kill the girl. > Kill the girl.

He gestures with his hands, grimaces, raises and lowers his arms in exaggerated shrugs, and mouths words with a wide-eyed, skeptical expression, then falls quiet with his hands resting at the edge of the table while he looks off to the side. > So we get bored someplace else every Sunday. > Does this really change our day-to-day lives? > Of course not, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/480063.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/481523 ## 8:04–8:11 Homer, Marge, Maggie, Lisa and Bart sit around the dining table in the pink kitchen with an arched doorway and a colorful shelf behind them, with plates of food, glasses and a bowl on the table. Homer, in his white shirt, gestures with both hands as he talks, with his mouth open and then grinning, while Marge sits beside Maggie, who is in a high chair with a pacifier, and Lisa and Bart look on. Later Marge stands up with her arms crossed and talks while Homer raises his palms in a shrugging gesture, then Homer sits back down and Marge keeps speaking with her arms folded. > except that we're all moving to the movementarian agricultural compound to be near the > leader and serve him.

The Black man holds the Deed document up for the family as he speaks, and the group stays crowded around the table throughout the scene while the family's expressions remain fixed and attentive. Food plates, drinking glasses and a bowl sit on the table, and the pink dining room has an arched doorway behind them. > Oh, yes, you are.

Homer talks and gestures at the document with his hand, first pointing at it and then waving his arm toward the table, while Marge and Maggie watch. Plates of meatballs and mashed potatoes, glasses of water and a bowl of potatoes sit on the table throughout.

He raises his hands to gesture, one holding the paper and the other making a V-sign, then goes back to reading and speaking. The graphic gives way to a picture of a scowling, grey-skinned man in a white tank top with a cigarette, who appears beside him on the screen before the scene ends with Brockman reading again. > Springfield has been overrun by a strange and almost certainly evil sect calling > themselves the movementarians. > In exchange for your home and all your money, > The leader of this way-out and wrong religion claims he'll take believers away on his Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/501751.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/506131 ## 8:31–8:42 Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a dark red jacket and blue tie, sits at a desk on a TV screen, reading from a stack of papers while a framed portrait of a dark-haired man in a white tank top with a cigarette hangs on the right. He alternates between a droopy-eyed, flat expression and wide-eyed speaking, his mouth opening and closing as he talks. Partway through, a yellow hand enters from the left holding a white card, and he takes it and holds it in both hands above a blank white sheet on the desk. > spaceship to the planet Blistonia. > Excuse my editorial laugh. > But, ladies and gentlemen, I've just learned of a change in this station's management.

The portrait then changes to a man with swept-back reddish hair in a tunic, and Brockman's eyes widen and his mouth opens as he speaks, then he grins and sets the card down. In the final moments he spreads both arms wide over the desk, where a stack of papers rests, while his expression shifts between a strained grin and an open-mouthed exclamation. > Welcome, movementarians. > Continue to improve our lives.

The robed man stops, gestures toward the bunks and turns to speak, and the family halts beside the bunks as he talks, with Homer grinning and Marge scowling. The room has teal walls, a wooden floor, and a framed picture on the wall. > Homer Simpson, your family will be housed here for the first 100,000 years. > Then something might open up in a double. > Huh, why even unpack? > Dad and all these other people are obviously the products of mental conditioning.

Lisa swings her legs, glances sideways and talks while Bart looks at her, then she turns her head and eyes toward him with a grimace and a moment of blank, pondering expressions. Bunk bed frame, pillow, blue bag and a window with a pale sky are visible in the bedroom.

Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, appears at the left in the middle frames, cupping his hand to his ear and shouting while Bart looks on with wide eyes. Bart then talks with Lisa, rubs his hands together and grins with a sly, scheming expression, and at the end he leans forward over a dark object at the bottom of the frame while Lisa looks on. > Yeah, maybe it'll wear off, like his interest in CB radio. > That's a negatory good buddy. > I kind of think it's cool. > Just pretend you're in a zombie movie. > Besides, this is just another place for me to wreak my special brand of hysterical havoc.

Near the end he raises a fist to his mouth, then returns to open-handed gestures as he keeps addressing the unseen crowd. > designed to take away the money of fools. > Let us say the Lord's Prayer 40 times, but first, let's pass the collection plate.

Homer and Marge, both in grey-brown robes with white collars, then stand in a green field with mountains and pine trees behind them, Homer gesturing with open hands and speaking while Marge looks on. Later Lisa and Bart join the rows of workers picking lima beans, and a red pickup with a large framed portrait of a bearded man on its side appears behind them. A woman with a red basket and a figure in a pink hat with a long black-haired companion bend over the crop, while Homer and Marge stand upright among the rows. The moment ends with the workers still stooped in the field and the red truck and portrait in the background. > See, Marge? Our lives are so much better now. > You two, stop talking and resume the lima bean harvest. > When we got married, you promised me my harvesting days were over.

Behind them, a group of workers in grey smocks harvest a green field beside a large red barn, and Moe, the grey-haired bartender, leads them with a pointing arm. Marge's expression stays wide-eyed and open-mouthed through the early frames, then the scene shifts to the field, where a bald-headed figure with a teal-colored hairdo and a few others bend over crops as the barn's double doors stand in the background. Moe then straightens, turns toward the barn and points his arm out, with his mouth open as if calling to the others, while workers stand together in the field, with the barn doors and the blue sky behind them. > Whoa! > What's going on?

Homer starts with his eyes closed and mouth open, then opens his eyes wide and speaks, while Lisa, wearing a pearl necklace, glances sideways and at times opens her mouth in an astonished or sceptical look. Across the sequence Homer keeps talking with his mouth moving and his eyes rolling upward, and Lisa turns her head toward him and then looks back out, with no visible text or notable objects beyond the trees and clouds. > We toil in the fields and he rides around in a Rolls Royce? > Yes, it would be nice to be by American, but what are you gonna do?

Homer gestures with one hand, then clasps his hands together as he speaks, his mouth opening and closing. The scene then shifts to a close-up of a Springfield Shopper newspaper with the headlines "Springfield Shopper Purchased by Evil Cult" and "Check Out Our New Cult Lifestyle Section," showing a portrait of a dark-haired man. > Oh, look who the new pet is. > I've never been so happy. > Smithies, why haven't I heard of this The Leader?

Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses, a purple bow tie and a green jacket, stands beside the desk and speaks, then is seen up close, talking and grinning.

Burns sits with his hands clasped and speaks with a sly, grinning expression, then tilts his head back and laughs with eyes shut, hands still pressed together. In the later part of the moment he turns back to a calm, scheming look with a smirk while Smithers keeps smiling, and the window behind shows a rainy sky. A brief ghostly, translucent overlay appears in the middle of the moment, showing a second green-tinted figure and a faded Smithers beside Burns, before the scene returns to the desk. > Uh, Frame: https://ultrahouse3k.com/img/S09E13/677969.jpg Page: https://ultrahouse3k.com/episode/s09e13-the-joy-of-sect/681514 ## 11:26–11:35 Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, sits in a tall red armchair behind a desk, while Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses and a purple bow tie, stands beside the desk at right under a brass nameplate reading C.M. BURNS. Rain streaks the window behind them. Smithers gestures and talks at first, then stands still and looks on as Burns leans forward, opens his mouth to speak, and gestures with both hands. Burns then sits back, flicks his fingers and lifts a hand as he talks, and the scene ends with Smithers grinning and Burns sitting back with a sly expression, with papers on the desk in front of him. > sir, you have to tell me what your plan is or nothing will happen Oh, yes, of course, > the plan You seen me as a god, right, Smithers? > Absolutely, sir You'd kneel before me?

Burns gestures with a pointing finger and speaks, then sits at the desk writing with a pencil. In the final moment he holds up a sheet of paper showing a large stylized letter K, resting a pencil on a notepad, while Smithers looks on from the right edge of the frame in front of a window showing a rainy sky. > Boy, would I Yes, then I'll form my own religion with its own symbol. > We'll use this special K. > I believe that's already a breakfast cereal, sir.

The scene opens on a glowing B-tree emblem on a teal hill under a starry purple sky, with flying sleighs crossing overhead, then cuts to figures in glowing bubbles and a tall white-robed figure above a sea of red-clad spectators.

Smithers, a thin man with glasses and a pink bow tie, raises his arms before a yellow tree-shaped logo, then spreads them toward a packed crowd. Outside the glass building, beside a red marquee reading "THE NEW GOD", Smithers gestures toward a muscular golden statue of a bearded man. > Ladies and gentlemen, behold your new god, Mr. > Burns.

Earlier, two huge blue statues flank a stage above a crowd and a row of blue-uniformed figures with black heads, then the man spreads his arms and speaks while Smithers claps his hands together, raises both arms, and finally stoops low to grip the man's hand. > Ahoy, ahoy, lowly mortals. > In addition to working for me, you may now praise me as your almighty. > Amen, sir. > Hmm.

Burns bursts into flames, flailing his arms while Smithers recoils with his hands raised, and Burns collapses into a smoking puddle that Smithers steps on. The scene ends with a wide view of the building, a small figure smoldering on a ledge, and a close-up of Smithers looking on with a wary expression. > Uh, we'll try this again tomorrow.

Between these scenes, a man with swept-back brown hair and a green sweater holds up a Special K box beside a blond man in a white coat under a 'The New God' sign, and at the end Homer kneels on grass as a crowd of white-robed followers bows before a large portrait on a lakeside stage. > Ah, he's all right.

Beside them, a stout, reddish-haired man in a white veil and grey robe holds a bouquet of pink flowers, while a one-off character with black curly hair, an orange cap and headphones stands close at his side. The two men lean toward each other, grinning and talking, and the stout man gestures with the flowers while the group stays in place. > Hey, remember our agreement. > I'm the man. > You're the man!

Bart raises his hand, then lowers it and folds his arms, glancing sideways and speaking while Lisa looks unimpressed and Krabappel grins widely over her book.

She throws her arms into the air, yelling with eyes shut, and then lifts a brown desk with a blue top into the air, as a red-haired student peeks up from behind her desk. > You're wrong!

Stacked books and a chalkboard reading "Leadership Starts with Leader" sit behind them in a pink-walled classroom, with a portrait on the wall. The woman smiles and talks while leaning toward Lisa, who looks up and then stands alone against a wood-paneled wall, looking uneasy and grimacing. > You used to be such a good student. > Don't you want to please your teachers and get good grades? > Ugh. > Grades? > We love him.

The scene then shifts to a large purple, green-tufted man in a grey robe who stands on a blue mat with his arms spread, while kneeling children in grey robes look up at him beneath a framed portrait.

Later, Lisa, Bart, Maggie, Marge and Homer stand together in matching white robes, Marge gesturing toward the bunk beds, before Marge turns back to the camera-facing view alone, smiling and talking with her hands clasped near her chest, with a framed picture and a ceiling lamp visible in the room. > No! > All righty.

The man raises a hand and gestures while the two talk, then he turns to face her and extends his arm outward toward a snowy field. He drops to the ground and crawls beneath a barbed-wire fence of wooden X-shaped posts, with a skeleton lying on the snow beyond it, and his outstretched arm reaches into the scene. > I'm leaving this place and you'd better step aside. > Lady, people are free to go whenever they wish.

In the earlier moments, an old man in a blue suit and red bow tie runs down a school hallway lined with lockers, and a figure in a dark suit with a briefcase tumbles inside the round vehicle pod. The red truck, with its ladder and hose-reel pods, then drives down a street, lined by parked cars including a purple one, while its occupants cling to its sides. Visible signage reads SPRINGFIELD LAWYER-HOUSE on the building and SPRINGFIELD LAWYER TRUCK on the vehicle. > Attention all citizens.

A framed portrait of the Simpsons family hangs on the mint-green wall behind him. He keeps reading with his mouth moving and his eyes wide, then near the end he glances off to the side and lifts the paper, shifting his posture slightly. > Even though the leader himself is completely non-violent, > he urges you to be as violent as you like in capturing the Simpsons.

An orange-haired woman with headphones and a clipboard crosses the set on the left, and a cameraman with headphones works a blue studio unit on a tripod on the right. The suited man reaches across to tap the anchor's arm, the anchor scowls and reads a sheet of paper, and the two keep glancing at each other as the anchor's frown deepens. > What are you doing? > They're not here, you idiots. > Idiots?

In the first frames Marge looks toward the trophies and then turns to the children, leaning in and grinning with a slight smirk as she speaks to them. Bart, in his orange shirt, looks up at her, and Lisa, in her red dress with pearl necklace, grins widely. In the later frames Marge leans toward the children and smiles knowingly, and Maggie, in her blue outfit with a pacifier, stares forward. The final frames show the three children seated together, grinning and wide-eyed, bound at the wrists behind their backs. A green exit sign and a longhorn skull hang on the wall, with a traffic light and a stained-glass lamp above. > Even more than your parents? > Yeah, of course, absolutely. > All right already.

In the final frames, a row of bicycles hangs in a room, and Marge stands on the right of a scene in a diner-like room with Lisa (red dress, star-shaped hair) and Maggie (blue bow) seated at a table, and Bart (orange shirt) and a figure in a red shirt nearby. The pink and blue bikes, plus a small pink tricycle, are seen floating and rotating in the air as Lisa and Bart look on. Glass trophies sit on a shelf behind Marge in the early frames. > But do you love the leader more than having your very own brand new hover bikes?

The three start out with mouths open and wide eyes, then grin and smile in turn while their hands stay behind their backs. Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, steps into a doorway beside a glass display cabinet holding a blue trophy and a gold trophy, leaning in and smiling while the three kids glance over at her. In the final frames she stands in front of the cabinet with a sour, squinting look while Bart and Lisa look on with their mouths open, and a small gold trophy and a blue trophy sit on the shelves behind her. > What do you have to say about the leader now? > Huh? > Huh? Hell, damn. Who are the leader? He can fly and leap as far as I'm concerned. > And who do you love now? Hover bikes! > Mm, close enough.

Marge bends down toward the children as they stare ahead. Then Marge stands back up and watches, and the three kids sit on their bikes in a room with a stop sign and a TV on a shelf. The bikes tip over and the children, Bart in orange, Lisa in red, and Maggie in blue, tumble to the floor in a heap, with the bikes slid across the tiles. Marge then closes her eyes, clasps her hands to her chest and laughs, and grins with a wide-eyed look. Tall, thin Smithers, who wears glasses and a red shirt and tie, stands behind the kids in the later frames. Bikes are also tangled on the floor, along with a stop sign and a license plate reading 091-695 on the wall. > Yay! > Sorry, kids. There's no such thing as hover bikes. > They're just a couple of huffies on a fishing line.

Lisa first sits on a bike, then stands with Bart while Ned combs his moustache and Marge gestures with both hands. A thin man with dark hair in a red shirt and dark tie watches from behind them as Marge reaches toward the children and Lisa stretches an arm out, and Maggie sits on the floor at the left. > But we heard them hovering. > Oh, I'm afraid I played a dirty part in this little charade. > Can we at least keep the bikes? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. > They'll do back at the store by six. Get off them. > Get off, off, get off.

Across from him, a stocky red-bearded man with a bushy red moustache, green overalls and a grey shirt first stands, then sits backward on a second purple chair with his arms folded over the chair back, scowling and talking with his mouth open. He keeps glaring and speaking in close, unchanging posture, with his arms still crossed. > All right. > Now, what's so old-fired great about your fancy pants leader?

Homer talks and glances sideways while the bearded man leans in, grinning and speaking, and Homer's eyes roll as his mouth opens and closes. The bearded man's grin fades to a stern look as Homer falls silent, with two darts stuck in the wall beside them. > The leader knows all and sees all. > Ooh, well, that is impressive. And he's going to take us to a wonderful new planet.

Willie talks and gestures with his free hand beneath a 'HANG ON' cat poster and a small race car picture on the wall. Later Ned Flanders, in a green sweater and glasses, stands behind a bar pouring a draft beer into a glass mug from a tap while a red feathered headdress hangs on the wall behind him. > Oh, this leader, he sounds like a grand fella. > Willie, I'm not sure we're making any headway here. > Just shut up, woman. He's talking about my leader. > Uh, maybe we should take a little break-a-rooney, huh? > Anyone like a draft beer? Beer?

A bartender in green sleeves pours a frothy draft into a light blue mug, and Homer looks on wide-eyed while talking with Marge, who gives him a sly, sidelong look. The scene then closes on the foamy mug held in a green-sleeved hand and set down on the bar. > Would you like a tall, frosty one, Homer?

He clenches his teeth and squeezes his eyes shut, then his face tightens and he grimaces with his head tilted, before he turns his head and gazes sideways with a wary, strained look. He opens his mouth as if speaking, then his eyes widen and he stares ahead with his mouth slightly open, as he struggles against the urge to give in. > No, must resist temptation.

The view then shifts to his large white-shirted belly cinched with a brown rope belt, and finally to his bare-legged, blue-trousered legs tied together at the ankles with rope, standing beside a purple-topped bench on a tiled floor. Only the rope bindings and the bench are notable objects; no on-screen text is visible. > Go ahead, give in. > Beer, beer. > These cotton polyplents are so comfortable.

The man raises the mug toward Homer's open mouth as Homer stares and gapes, tongue out, and foam spills into his mouth in a bar with mugs on a shelf behind. The scene then cuts to an older bald man in a purple suit and green tie, with white hair at the sides, walking out of a door flanked by two men in dark suits, one carrying an orange briefcase, while a 'STOP' sign and a 'YIELD' sign hang on the walls. > Go on, Homer. > Our commandments clearly state that beer is all right. > Try some.

Marge in a green dress with red beads and Milhouse with blue hair and green glasses watch from nearby, next to shelves of trophies and posters of a red race car and a 'HANG ON!' sign. Earlier, the scene opens in a crowded bar with a pool table, a foosball table, and a bartender area, and the suited men move in on Homer as he is pulled away. > Ow. > This man is coming with us.

A pink station wagon with Marge in a green dress and blue beehive, plus other passengers, pulls up behind, and Marge stands beside the robed man and then points at a tall, neatly-haired man in a grey robe. In a close-up, Marge glares and points at him while he looks on with a smirk. Behind them, a crowd of robed, white-clad people raises their arms and cheers as Homer is embraced by one of the robed people, with the grey-suited men standing nearby. > Homer, come back! > That's my husband! > He's our husband now.

He then grabs the handles of the barn doors and swings them open to reveal a large purple-and-yellow flying saucer inside a wooden barn, with a crowd of townspeople with their backs to the viewer watching from the foreground.

He then hurries to a flying saucer inside a metal hangar and presses a glowing panel on its underside, which flashes blue, orange and red as the craft's lights pulse. The robed crowd behind him stares up in alarm as the saucer lights up. > Homer Simpson, because of your lack of faith, > you've ruined mankind's chance for salvation. > Nice going there, Homer.

The saucer's panels fall away until only its wooden frame is left, and a plump man with swept-back reddish hair rides a rotor-powered contraption hung with dollar-sign money bags over the crowd. In the final shots he sits on the contraption munching a candy bar, while the robed crowd gazes up with worried, open-mouthed expressions.

The contraption rises over the crowd, drifts across the sky, and then shrinks into the distance over pine forests, a farmhouse with a red truck, and a gate sign, while the robed crowd walks along a dirt path toward the gate. > Come back!

Money sacks marked with green dollar signs tumble from a purple metal frame and pile up on the sloping roof and porch, and the robed man glances up and gasps beside a leafy green bush, with a red barrel-like object and a tree visible near the porch. > Stranger, you're a trespassion on my dirt farm. > Do you happen to need a messiah? > No, but I'll take them sacks of money from you.

Outdoors among mountains and trees, Ned Flanders in his green sweater and moustache keeps a hand on the shoulder of a dark-haired man in a black shirt, who then holds up a white collar strip while they talk. > Wow!
