Bart Simpson, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt and blue shorts, appears in a classroom, where he writes "PAIN IS NOT THE CLEANSER" over and over on a green chalkboard, with a wall clock and a red trash can nearby. Early frames show the blue sky with drifting clouds and the title card "THE SIMPSONS" fading in. Bart writes line after line, then turns and runs out through the door at the back of the room, leaving the chalkboard reading "THE CLEANSER" and "THE" on the lines beneath.

Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie appear first in a driveway beside a pink car and a yellow garage, with a mailbox on the lawn. Bart rides a skateboard on the pink car's roof while Homer stands beside it, then leans on its hood and flails his arms as a red car rolls toward him, and Homer runs into the house. Inside the living room, Bart's hand is on fire and Lisa and Marge react near the couch, then the whole family sits soaked on the couch amid rising smoke, with a puddle spreading across the striped rug.

No regular characters appear in this sequence, which is a title card: a retro television set with a pink background shows yellow lettering reading 'CREATED BY MATT GROENING', then 'DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS MATT GROENING SAM SIMON'. The screen then fades to black, and the scene cuts to an exterior view of the pink Springfield Mall building with its name in red letters on the facade, rows of parked cars in the lot below, and green shrubs at the corners.

Bart and Lisa stand outside the Goody New Shoes store in a shopping mall, with Homer, Marge and baby Maggie nearby near the storefront. Their family walks up to the shop, and Marge holds Maggie while Homer looks on. Bart and Lisa stand by the store window as the scene shifts to their close-up reactions, both looking unimpressed and sullen, with Bart's mouth open as if talking. Shelves of shoes and a red bench are visible inside, and the storefront sign reads GOODY NEW SHOES above a pink arch showing a cartoon girl holding shoes beside a brown dog. Credit text appears over the scene in the middle frames.

> Oh, look! This is a perfect chance to get you kids some nice church shoes.
> What do we need church shoes for? Jesus wore sandals.

A thin, balding salesman with a dark tie and white shirt, who is not one of the regulars, stands before them, gesturing and speaking, then rubbing his chin and smiling slightly. Across the frames the salesman's pose shifts from gesturing to thoughtful, while Marge's eyes roll and Bart and Lisa stay slumped and glum.

Lisa Simpson, in an orange dress and pearl necklace, sits on a red bench in a shoe store, first holding an orange sandal up to her face and laughing, then gesturing while talking and smirking. Bart Simpson, in an orange shirt, leans in beside her and watches with a flat expression. A shoe store clerk with grey hair swept over his head, a white shirt and a black tie stands among shoe shelves and a SALE sign, looking unimpressed, then lifts a grimy metal shoe-measuring device with green stains.

> Oh, rats!
> Talk about bad luck! I forgot to wear socks today.

Bart returns to the bus seat with a sullen expression, dangling a white-gloved hand over the seatback, while a credit reads "Produced by J. Michael Mendel, Bonita Pietila" over the frames of the shop and bus.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red beads, stands beside Maggie, the baby with a blue bow and pacifier, who is held against her green dress, and Marge laughs with her eyes closed in the early frames and then turns to look wide-eyed and worried. Later the scene shifts to the walkway with a 'SPORTS SHOP' sign, where Homer, in a white shirt and holding a stack of colorful boxes, stands facing the clipboard man; Marge and Maggie are visible at the left edge. Homer's expression moves from wide-eyed to a grinning, half-lidded smile as the clipboard man smiles and talks to him, and shoppers and a bearded man in a green sweater pass in the background.

> Yes. As long as it's tasteful. And never at someone, or with, and not...
> Excuse me, sir. Do you like to laugh?
> Why, yes. Yes, I do.

> Well, then you'll love our comedy festival.
> It's for a good cause. A rest home for pirates?
> No, Dad. It's to fight soil erosion.

In the last frames, a red-haired man in a grey turtleneck holding a clipboard and pencil, with a 'Use No Sounds' sign behind him, stands facing Bart, who is seen from behind as the man speaks, and Bart's expression turns uneasy as he glances back at the sign, which now has a 'Laugh Till You Care' booklet beside it.

The scene then shifts to a backstage area with wooden walls and a crate, where Krusty faces a man with cropped reddish-brown hair, an earring, and a green sweater under a teal vest.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a red nose, stands at a red desk holding a blue canister while Bart, in an orange shirt with spiky hair, watches him from the right. Krusty gestures, sighs and slumps, then ends up hunched forward with his gloved hands over his face as Bart looks on. The pink room has shelves of Krusty merchandise, a corkboard with a Kamp Krusty sign, and a round Krusty Brand Seal of Approval badge that appears on the board later.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair, white gloves, a red nose and a purple shirt, sits at a wooden desk beside Bart Simpson, who has spiky hair and wears an orange shirt. Beneath a corkboard with a Kamp Krusty sign and a Krusty Brand Seal of Approval badge, Bart holds a small dish and swab near Krusty's face while Krusty first hides his face in his hands, then grimaces, gestures with both hands, and raises a hand to his face. Bart later holds up a bottle labeled Krusty eye wash, and Krusty clutches his face in pain before both settle into a tense, unhappy stare.

> Ah, that burns! What the hell's on those things?
> Here, quick, use my Crusty eye wash.
> No, not in your life.

Bart Simpson and Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a red nose, appear first in front of the Simpsons' house, number 8 on its pink door, then in a blue-tiled bathroom where Krusty sits in a tub of suds with a cigar. A grey-haired man in a white shirt and pink tie scrubs Krusty's green hair while Bart lathers the side of it, then Bart holds a bottle and clasps his hands as the man lifts a soapy hand over Krusty's head. Krusty grimaces, opens his mouth and gestures with his cigar as the bubbles shift around the tub.

Krusty the Clown sits shirtless in a bubbly bathtub against a blue tiled wall, holding an unlit cigar, while Bart, in a red shirt and blue shorts, scrubs foam into Krusty's green hair and a heavy man with swept-back grey hair, white shirt and pink tie works on the other side of the hair. Krusty grimaces and stares sideways as the scrubbing goes on, and Bart's expression shifts from strained effort to a glum, downcast look as he stands at the tub's edge. Soap suds cover the tub rim and a teal soap dish is mounted on the tiles.

The man gestures with open hands and talks while Krusty responds, waving his cigar and at one point holding up a dripping white sock-like item from the water, as the man glances over at him. The setting includes a yellow shower curtain and a pink wall shelf holding bottles and a towel.

Bart scowls and pushes at the dispenser, then raises his hands to hold off Krusty, who leans in with his mouth open. Krusty then settles beside the grey-haired man, who smiles and rests a hand on Krusty's shoulder, before a large figure in a white shirt and blue trousers moves into the foreground and blocks the view.

The scene shifts to a bathtub seen from behind, where Krusty's green hair is visible above the bubbles, while Homer stands with wide eyes and an open mouth as a goldfish and a pink fish swim near his face, and the grey-haired man sits at the left edge. The view then returns to Bart, the monkey, Krusty, and the seated man, with Krusty puffing or holding his cigar and looking annoyed.

Krusty the Clown performs on a stage under a red spotlight, a smoking cigarette in his hand beside the microphone, while audience members in the foreground watch from behind chairs; he grimaces, opens his mouth to speak, and stretches one white-gloved arm wide. Then the crowd fills a dim tavern with round tables and glowing candles, where Chief Wiggum in his blue police uniform, Patty with grey-violet hair, Homer and Marge at the right, and Apu, all laugh with open mouths, and a jukebox glows in the back corner.

> I do not believe Winston Churchill would eat a Dervina schnitzel.

Krusty the Clown stands at a microphone on a wooden stage in a black jacket and black shirt, with a cigarette in his hand and green hair, first in a close-up with smoke curling up from the cigarette as he talks and gestures with his free arm on his hip. The view then pulls back to show him from behind, facing a bar crowd of seated patrons, including Chief Wiggum in his blue police uniform, Homer and Marge at a back table, a woman with grey-violet hair clapping at the front left, and a man in a blue sweater clapping at the right. Krusty keeps talking and gesturing, and the audience claps and laughs while the cigarette smoke drifts upward past the mic stand and orange drinks sit on the tables.

> Impeach Churchill!
> Well, here's one dollar those crooks aren't gonna get their hands on.

Krusty the Clown performs on a brick-walled stage in a spotlight, with Homer, Chief Wiggum, Mrs. Krabappel and Marge watching from candlelit tables in a dim club. He holds up a dollar bill at the microphone, then brings a small lighter to it while the audience sits in the foreground and background. By the end the bill is burning at its top corner, with a bright orange flame and a glowing red flicker visible in his raised hand.

> Uh, isn't that illegal? I don't care if it is illegal.

Principal Skinner, in a blue suit and pink tie, sits at a candlelit bar table with an elderly woman with lavender curls, a purple necklace and a purse, while Ned Flanders in a green sweater and suspenders stands nearby with a banknote held up, and Carl, a Black man in a light grey jacket, sits in the background. Skinner feeds dollar bills into a glowing pot-shaped candle on the table, where the bills catch fire and burn, and Skinner's expression turns to a grimace as he holds the money over the flame. Other patrons and small candle-lit tables are visible throughout the bar.

> I work like a thong for this.
> Oh, you're burning it all wrong, Seymour.
> It's my allowance, Mother, and I'll burn it the way I want.

Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, and Lisa Simpson sit and stand around a dining table with a glowing yellow lamp in a dim, red-roofed room. Homer, standing at left, first holds a brown object, then gestures with his hands while his expression turns angry and a red glow appears on the table. Marge, with her tall blue beehive, and Lisa, in her red dress and pearl necklace, sit at the table; Marge's red beads and Lisa's pearls are visible. Marge then counts or handles a stack of green dollar bills from a maroon purse on the table while speaking, and Lisa reaches for the money, which Lisa holds in her hand in the final frame.

Krusty, the clown with green hair and a red nose, stands at a raised podium while a seated audience including Homer, Marge in her blue beehive, and Mr. Burns in a dark suit and red tie raises flaming torches in a dim, red-lit hall. In the early moments the crowd holds its torches up and sways slightly, and the view then moves toward Krusty, who raises his own torch and gestures with his other hand, while a glowing lantern sits on the nearby table. Wooden chairs fill the foreground, and the torches keep flickering throughout.

The left man talks and gestures, then the man in purple leans in, reaches out and rests his hand over the other man's hand on the table, and the left man grimaces and looks uneasy. The man in purple then pulls his hand back and clasps his hands on the table as both men sit in silence, with a telephone on the wall and bottles on a shelf behind them.

Homer, Marge and Bart ride in a pink sedan driving down a suburban street lined with pink houses and hedges, with Homer at the wheel and Marge with her tall blue beehive beside him. Homer grins and talks animatedly as he drives, glancing sideways while Marge looks back at him, and Bart leans forward between them with a sour, skeptical expression. The car passes a pink house with a garage and a staircase-lined lawn, and the scene ends with Homer smirking as Marge and Bart react.

> From now on, I'm gonna be just like Krusty and tell it like it is.

A thin young man with reddish hair in a black t-shirt with a green alien logo and blue jeans stands outside Java the Hut beside a blonde woman in a light green dress holding a cup. The green awning lists coffee, lattes, bagels and pastries, and two silhouetted figures embrace in the window behind them, while parking meters flank the sidewalk. The man raises a cigarette to his mouth and exhales a drifting plume of smoke as the woman stands beside him and the silhouettes remain still.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a red nose, sits with arms crossed on a tan couch beside a grey-haired man in a black suit, white shirt and green tie who is not a regular and is not named here, and who gestures with open hands while talking. The man's hands move from open palms to fingers pinched together and back, and he pats or points toward Krusty's arm at times, while Krusty keeps his arms folded and grins. The couch sits before a yellow-green wall with a purple wall beside it, and a red swirling decoration hangs above.

The fire spreads to its rear, and the car keeps flaming as it rests on the heap. No on-screen text is visible.

> Canyonero.

A herd of brown deer, including a large buck with antlers, grazes and watches on a snowy field under a starry purple sky and a huge yellow moon. A red boxy SUV with glaring high beams speeds in and strikes a deer, which flips through the air in silhouette against the moon while others scatter. The scene then shows a dark bar sweeping across a red-and-white striped flag, followed by the word CANYONERO in black letters over the red vehicle's side.

> She blinds everybody with a super high beam.
> She's a squirrel squashed deer smack a driving machine.
> Canyonero.
> Yeah!
> Whoa.
> Canyonero.

## 21:48–21:58

No regular characters are shown; the scene is an animated title sequence with a red car, seen from behind, driving down a desert road toward a setting sun while flames sweep across a waving American flag with stars and stripes. The car is a boxy red vehicle with a white license plate, and it is framed by burning orange fire, with the word CANYONERO appearing in flaming letters across the top of the flag. The image gradually darkens to black, then the credits fade in on the black screen in orange letters, first reading 'Executive Producer MIKE SCULLY', then fading out and giving way to 'Executive Producers JAMES L. BROOKS, MATT GROENING, SAM SIMON'.

> Yeah!
> Canyonero.
> Yeah!
> Whoa, Canyonero.
> Whoa. Whoa!

Silhouetted audience members sit in rows of theater seats, with one large-haired figure on the left, facing a blank screen under ceiling lights. A projector beam sweeps across the dark room and lights the screen with a blue glow that reads GRACIE FILMS. The screen then shows the words IN ASSOCIATION WITH, followed by the 20th Century Fox Television logo with the line A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY, before the image fades to black.
