Homer, a bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, and Bart, a spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, appear in a suburban driveway beside a pink car in front of a yellow garage. The scene opens on drifting clouds where the orange title "THE SIMPSONS" gradually forms, then shows Homer stepping out of the pink car's open door while Bart rolls in on a skateboard and then a red bicycle. Homer then lunges forward with his arms outstretched as a red car enters the bottom right corner.

Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon'.

A pilot in a olive-green shirt with a wristwatch grips the controls of a cockpit with a stern expression, and the scene cuts to a brown plane marked UNICEF flying across a blue sky past clouds. A jet appears at the right edge, then a formation of five dark fighter jets flies overhead, and the view returns to the pilot, who grits his teeth while holding the controls, with on-screen credits reading "Co-Executive Producer GEORGE MEYER" and then "Co-Executive Producer DAVID S. COHEN."

A uniformed pilot with a thin moustache sits in the cockpit of a grey jet marked with a red-and-white circular insignia, while another dark jet fires at a tan UNICEF cargo plane, which trails smoke and is hit by missiles as fighters circle the sky. Inside the cargo plane, a muscular, light-haired man in an olive uniform and wristwatch grips the controls, then runs toward a stack of pink UNICEF crates as flames blast a ragged hole through the fuselage wall. Visible on-screen text includes 'UNICEF' painted on the plane and printed on the crates.

> They won't stop me from delivering these Unicef pennies.

A muscular man with a pale flat-top haircut and olive-green uniform strains inside a burning circular tunnel, first pushing against a wall of pink boxes labeled UNICEF, then hoisting a wooden pallet of the boxes overhead and carrying it while flames surround him. He later stands shirtless and open-jacketed amid the fire, and a man in profile with pale hair watches a UNICEF box drift down under a white parachute over green fields, with smoke rising from a burning area below.

> Yes!
> Go, Pennies. Help the puny children who need you.

A purple lamp, a teal telephone and a framed sailboat picture are visible in the room.

> Wow, McBain is really buffed up. You could grate cheese on those abs.

Chief Wiggum sits at a red picnic table under a banner reading "Annual Policeman's Picnic" while fellow officers stand nearby, and Homer drives his orange car past with Bart, Maggie, Lisa and Marge in the back. The scene shifts to a table under a "Annual Mafia Picnic" banner, where a chef, a man in a purple suit and fedora, a sunglasses-wearing man and a dark-haired man in a blazer gather around a grey-haired seated man, and the dark-haired man in the blazer pulls a pistol that fires a red flash at him. The view returns to the police picnic, where two officers hold a grill tool and a hot dog while Wiggum is splattered with orange mustard as the hot dog is squeezed, and the mafia men then stand around the table with drinks and an ice bucket as the dark-haired man keeps his pistol raised.

## 2:04–2:17

Chief Wiggum, the fat police chief, sits at a picnic table splattered with orange mustard, flanked by two uniformed officers, one a Black man in a cap and one a thin officer holding a sandwich. Wiggum, smeared with mustard, spreads more with a knife and grins as the credits change from 'Produced by J. Michael Mendel and Bonita Pietila' to 'Produced by Richard Raynis' and then 'Produced by Richard Sakai and Denise Sirkot'. The scene then cuts to four men at a picnic table in a park, one in a purple jacket and plaid pants, and then to a red station wagon with a roof rack and a green netting trailing behind it, driving across a field past people in red caps, with the credit 'Written by John Swartzwelder' on screen.

> Oh, the joke's on you. We borrowed that jar from your table.
> So you just shot your own mustard.
> Ah, nuts.
> Ooh, still plenty of parking.

## 2:17–2:27

At a picnic table set out in a park, Homer, in a white shirt, stands beside a dark-haired man in a pink shirt and tie and a girl with spiky hair and a red bead necklace, all reaching over the food. Homer grumbles, then bites into a sandwich while the man looks on, and the table holds cookies, a cake, pies, hot dogs, and a bowl of macaroni salad. In the wide view that follows, a blue vintage car with a gold ornament rolls across the grass past a lake, and two boys in the grass, one with dark hair and one blond in a blue jacket and red pants, duck down and then run from the car as it moves toward them.

> Nice to see you, Homer. Yeah, out of my way, whoever you are.
> You're blocking the food.

Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, wears a pink visor and green shirt and sits in the back of a blue limousine, reading a folded map and holding a small paper. Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses, is seen through the front window, and Bart, the spiky-haired boy, pops up through the sunroof grinning and pointing while Burns glances up in alarm. Outside on a grassy lawn beside a tree, the limousine sits near a pink kite whose string is tangled in loose loops on the grass.

> Ah, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned picnic.
> How's my kite doing, Smithies? Oh, it's soaring majestically, sir.
> You're it!
> You'll see about that. After him, Smithies!

## 2:41–2:53

Bart, in his orange shirt and blue shorts, stands apart from a group of kids in a grassy field, with Milhouse (blue hair and glasses) on the right and a red-haired boy in a blue shirt and blue jeans facing him. Earlier, a blond boy in a blue shirt and red pants runs and waves his arms along a dirt road toward a wood-paneled station wagon, seen from behind the steering wheel with a hood ornament, and then the scene shifts to the field. The group stays in place as Bart gestures with one arm and the red-haired boy and Milhouse keep watching him, with pine trees, rocks and pink-tinged hills behind them.

> You're not it!
> Gentlemen, the game is capture the flag.
> Rod, ladies pick first.
> Okay, I choose... Todd.

## 2:53–3:05

Bart, in his red shirt, stands in a grassy clearing with trees, a grey rock and pine trees behind him, facing a group of kids: Milhouse in a purple shirt and red glasses, Nelson in a pink shirt and blue vest, a curly-haired boy in a yellow shirt and teal pants, a blond boy in a blue jacket, and two girls, one with a pigtail in overalls and one with long straight brown hair. Milhouse gestures with a raised hand while Bart turns to address the group, then Bart points off to the side with a wide-eyed look. Nelson leans in beside the curly-haired boy with a smirk, and Milhouse rubs his chin and points toward Nelson as the group watches.

> Oh, oh, oh, Bert, Bert, Bert! Over here, over here!
> Um, I'll take... Nelson.
> Saving the best for last, huh, Bert?

Bart and Nelson stand on a grassy field with rocks and pine trees, joined by Ned Flanders, who walks in and stands among a group that includes Milhouse, a red-haired boy in a blue shirt, a red-haired girl in a pink top, a girl with long purple hair and a pink bow, and a dark-haired boy at the right edge. The red-haired boy points toward the rocks while Ned stands with his hands on his hips, then rubs his chin and looks off to the side in a close-up, with his green sweater, pink collar, glasses and moustache visible against the blue sky.

> Yeah, that must be it. I picked my dad.
> Do you want to play Capture the Flag, Daddy?
> Sports on a Sunday.
> Hmm.
> I better check with Reverend... Just play the damn game, Ned.

Ned Flanders, in a green sweater and glasses, stands at the left of an open grassy park, with Nelson in a blue vest and pink shirt and Bart in his red shirt beside him, and two curly red-haired children in the foreground. Bart talks and looks wide-eyed while Nelson smirks and glances sideways, and then the scene cuts to Homer sprawled on the grass beside a grey portable toilet, with empty red cans and litter scattered nearby. The scene returns to Nelson and Bart in close view, with Nelson smirking and Bart staring and speaking with an alarmed expression.

> Yeah, well, you get a grown-up and so do we.
> I pick my dad.
> Him?
> You'd be surprised.
> He gets pretty competitive when he's drinking.

## 3:27–3:40

Homer, shirtless and grimacing, lies stretched out in blue pants against a light blue wall while Bart, in an orange-red shirt, leans over him with his hands pressed on Homer's belly and eyes wide. Bart and Homer then turn to look at each other, and the view widens to a grassy park with rocks and trees where Ned Flanders, in a green sweater and glasses, stands beside a small sapling holding a white flag that reads FLANDERS. Two one-off kids stand nearby, one in pink and one in blue with red hair, while Bart gestures toward them and Homer watches with a sour look.

> Come on, Dad. We're playing capture the flag.
> Sorry, son. Daddy's down for the day.
> Why don't you go capture me some more potato salad?
> But Rod picked his dad.
> It's a matter of family honor.

Homer, shirtless in blue pants, and Bart, in a red shirt, are on a grassy lawn beside a tall white refrigerator, with Homer slumped on the ground and Bart seated beside him. Homer struggles upright and pushes against the fridge while Bart stands watching, then Homer walks off to the right as Bart moves left. A heavy man in a blue shirt with reddish hair tied back sits on the step of an open blue booth, reading a comic book whose cover says "ZEBRA GIRL", as scattered cans, a red cloth and a plate of food lie on the grass.

> Flanders is playing.
> Why didn't you say so?
> Uh...
> Oh, it appears I will have to find a new Fortress of Solitude.

## 3:53–4:04

Homer, a bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, and Bart, a spiky-haired boy in a red shirt and blue shorts, are outdoors on a grassy field beside a large grey boulder, with a white flag reading SIMPSON on a stick and a group of children walking in the background. Homer first presses his palms against the rock while Bart joins him with his hands on it, then both kneel and talk, Homer looking worried and Bart gesturing with his hands. Bart later claps his hands together and then points at the rock as Homer leans in beside him.

> Okay, Dad, they've got our flag guarded pretty good.
> I agree.
> Let's surrender.
> No, wait. I have a plan. But I'll need your underpants.

Homer kneels on the grass beside Bart, who stands before a large grey-pink rock in a grassy clearing, and Homer talks to him with a worried look. Milhouse, in a pink shirt and red shorts with glasses and blue hair, stands near a girl with long purple hair and a pink bow, while a man in a black shirt and purple cap watches from the left. Bart is then lifted up beside the man, and a white bird flies across the scene as Homer pops up over the rock and then walks off to the right past a torn white banner on a tree branch.

> All right, but don't lose them. They're my only pair.
> I got it! I got the flag!

## 4:14–4:26

Homer, bald and heavyset in a white shirt and blue pants, walks through a grassy park holding a paper with partial lettering reading 'SIMPSON' and then moves out of view behind a tree. Nearby, a group of kids crowds around a small child on the grass while a tall man in a purple beanie and black skull shirt stands by, and in a wooded field Milhouse, with blue hair and red-framed glasses in a pink shirt, holds up a grey cloth-like item, examines it, and gestures while speaking.

> Stupid kids.
> This isn't the flag. It looks more like...
> Eww!

Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, sits on the grass pinned by a purple-capped kid in a black shirt and a brown-haired boy in a maroon vest, while Milhouse in a pink shirt, red shorts and blue cap stands by with a small pink-bowed kid nearby and a flip-flop lies on the ground. Homer, in a white shirt and blue pants, walks in holding a paper with partly legible lettering, then Milhouse runs off across the grass as the group shrinks into the distance. Homer moves on alone past evergreens, clutching the paper, and is seen from above crossing a big open field while the kids stand at the edge of the grass.

> Suckers. Go, Dad!

Homer, in a white shirt and blue trousers, holds up a sign reading SIMPSON on a grassy field, then runs ahead of a group of children chasing him, with Bart among them. Bart drops to all fours on the grass while Homer collapses face-down on the path, where a girl with long purple hair and a boy with blue hair and glasses (Milhouse) stand over him. Finally the children pile onto the prone Homer as trees, bushes, and a white-edged path surround them.

> Come on, Dad, just a few more feet. Show him what you got!

Homer lies sprawled on the lawn, arms out and mouth open, while pine trees and bushes rise behind him, and a girl in a lilac dress and a boy in an orange shirt crowd in around him as a figure in a black shirt and jeans stands over him.

Milhouse, in his blue hair, red glasses and pink shirt, stands among them, and a girl with a purple bob and pink bow and an afro-haired boy in a striped shirt are nearby. Homer's arms twitch and he slowly lifts his head and raises his arms, with eggs and bits of shell scattered around him, as the children lean in and Milhouse points at him. Bart, in his orange shirt, stands at the bottom left of the crowd and then appears alone in a close-up, looking worried in front of trees and a blue sky.

> Hey, he's trying to turn over!

Bart then shuts his eyes and grimaces against a backdrop of trees and purple hills, the scene fades to black, and a two-story house with a pink door and pink garage door appears at dusk under a purple sky with its upstairs windows lit.

Homer Simpson lies in bed under a red and pink blanket, his eyes wide and his mouth pressed shut, then his gaze drifts aside and his eyelids droop as he sits in a purple-framed bed against a pink wall. Later he sits up and turns toward Marge, a woman with a tall blue beehive in a pink nightgown, who holds a open green book in both hands. Homer's expression tightens and his mouth opens to speak, and Marge glances sideways at him while he stares back, both beside a purple bedpost and a light blue pillow.

> Oh, Marge, how could you let me let myself go like this?
> Me?
> I'm not the one who puts butter in your coffee.

Homer, bald and heavyset, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive, are in their pink bedroom, Marge propped up in bed reading a green book under a red blanket while Homer sits up beside her. Homer's expression shifts from worried to indignant, and he stands up from the bed in his white underwear, then clenches his fist and speaks emphatically before relaxing, while Marge keeps reading and glances sideways at him. A framed portrait of Bart and Lisa hangs on the wall above the bed, and a lamp sits on the nightstand.

> Yeah, well, I've humiliated my son for the last time.
> I'm going to get into shape. Whatever you say, sweetie.
> No, I mean it. I'm really serious this time.

Homer, bald and in a yellow-skinned bare-chested state, and Marge, with her tall blue beehive, are first seen in bed in a dim blue bedroom beneath framed family portraits, after an opening exterior view of the purple-lit house with its pink garage door. Homer lies wide-eyed and worried on his pillow, then sits up, reaches toward the blue-shaded bedside lamp, and grips the shade with one hand while his other hand rests on his hip. He then stands and moves out of the bed, and by the end only his yellow arm and head are visible at the left edge while Marge sleeps on under the blue blanket.

Homer sits on the front steps of a green two-story house with a pink arched door, with Santa's Little Helper lying beside him under a purple dusk sky and a dark hedge to the right. He bends over and ties the laces of his blue-and-white sneakers in close-up, then his face fills the view as he grips a pale grey band on his head with wide, staring eyes.

Homer Simpson, in a grey tracksuit and white headband, crouches in the pink doorway of a blue-arched house and reaches toward Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound sitting on the front walk. He then stands up straight, looking worried, while Snowball II, the black cat, dashes in from the bushes on the right. Homer then steps forward and walks off to the right across the path, arms folded over his chest.

> Okay, boy. I want you to keep this exercise thing under your hat.
> That way I won't be embarrassed if I fail.
> Oh, great. Now the cat knows.

Homer Simpson, in a grey tracksuit with a white headband and blue sneakers, is pulled along a blue sidewalk outside a house by Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, which is gripping his sweatpants with its teeth. He stumbles, jogs, and then gets dragged into a crawl, collapsing face-down near a wooden fence post, then glances up at a light blue mailbox labeled FLANDERS. Afterward the dog hauls him backward across the living room carpet past a sofa, lamp, and a framed photo of Bart on a side table, until Homer ends up sprawled on the floor with the dog tugging at his trouser leg.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a white nightcap and a grey bathrobe, lies in bed in a dim blue bedroom, propped against the headboard beside a framed photo of Bart, a boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt, on the nightstand. He starts with wide eyes and a worried, tense expression, then grimaces and grits his teeth, and his mouth opens and closes as he speaks. His eyes droop and he slumps, looking exhausted and strained, before he sits up again with a startled stare. Lamps with pale shades and a curtained window sit behind him, and the framed photo stays in place throughout.

> Look, son.
> Daddy got in shape.

Homer, wearing a grey fur-collared robe and a white fur-trimmed headband, sits in a dim blue bedroom with two lamps and a framed picture of a ghostly figure on the wall. He grimaces, speaks with his mouth open, clenches a fist, then glances sideways with a pursed mouth and wide eyes. Santa's Little Helper, the orange-brown greyhound, rises from the couch at left and looks toward him as Homer scowls and then stares out, bewildered.

> I've got to keep trying.
> Or I could just move that picture.
> No, the picture looked good where it was.

Homer, the bald heavy man in a grey hooded sweatsuit and white headband, is first seen sitting on the floor of a dim purple living room while Santa's Little Helper, the brown greyhound, tugs at his slippered foot. Homer then lies back on the carpet, still gripped by the dog, and later slumps on his side with the dog nosing at his feet, while a framed portrait of Marge hangs on the wall and a small book lies on the floor by the nightstand. The scene then switches outdoors, where Homer, in the same grey sweatsuit and headband, stands on a sidewalk in front of houses, gesturing with one fist raised and mouth open, then turns his head and looks off to the side with his hand clenched at his chest.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a grey hooded sweatsuit, white headband and blue sneakers, jogs along a suburban street at dusk past mailboxes and houses while Santa's Little Helper, the family's brown greyhound, runs alongside him. Behind him a boy in a blue cap and green jacket pedals a red bicycle with a basket of newspapers, and later a worker in a purple shirt loads papers from the back of a white truck marked SPRINGFIELD NEWS. Homer keeps running and glances around, and a bundle of newspapers is tossed through the air above the street, with a red-roofed mailbox on a wooden post by the sidewalk. A brief blended transition shows the same street overlapping with the scene, with Homer standing by the mailbox while the dog runs past.

Apu closes his eyes and turns his head, then grins with his teeth showing and raises a finger, with a cash register and a green dollar-sign sign beside him. He then lifts a large jar with a red lid labeled "EF KY" as the man stares wide-eyed.

Homer Simpson, wearing a white headband and white shirt, lies on a red inclined bench in a gym, first with a small blue object held to his mouth and then with it between his teeth, while his eyes roll upward. Two men in red-and-black jackets with a logo stand over him: a tall man with long dark hair and a ponytail, and a man in a suit and red tie with swept-back reddish hair, who looks down at him. Later Homer stands upright behind a glass partition, a small blue object in his hand, smiling and wide-eyed, while Bart, in an orange shirt, looks on beside the two men. Bright ceiling lamps and a row of red exercise equipment fill the room, and small brown flecks drift through the blue background above the bench.

> Congratulations, sir.
> Huh? You're gonna be the first man to climb the murder horn.
> I am.

Homer, in a white shirt and white fur-trimmed headband, stands at a window with Bart in an orange shirt and two men in red-and-black Powersauce jackets, one with swept-back brown hair and a tie, the other with long black hair. The group looks out over a town with purple-pink mountains, then the swept-back man points out the window while Homer and he talk. Later, the swept-back man grips Homer's chin and shoulder as Homer speaks with his mouth open, while the Powersauce logo shows on the man's jacket.

> Uh, no, that's it over there.
> Yeah, that's it.

Homer, wearing a white headband and white shirt, stands with Bart and two men in red-and-black POWERSAUCE jackets in a room with a large window showing snowy purple mountains in the rain, and Homer looks alarmed while Bart gives a thumbs up. The scene then cuts to a rain-streaked, blurred close-up of Homer's face, followed by a black screen. Finally, a two-story house with a brown roof, a pink door, and a pink car in the driveway appears, with a small blue figure near the mailbox.

Homer kneels in a pink room beside a red sofa and a wooden chest, with a blue OXYGEN tank and an orange pill bottle on the floor, reaching toward the chest as Grampa, in a pink sweater, grey trousers and red slippers, stands behind him. Grampa spreads his arms, then stands by a rainy window with his hands on his hips and later clasped at his chest, while Homer kneels by the tank and looks up at him. An ice axe leans against the chest, and the window shows a wet street and houses outside.

The elderly man gestures toward the window, then the scene blurs and shifts to two men climbing a snowy mountain while holding a long rope: a bald-headed man in a blue fur-collared jacket and backpack, and a man with reddish hair and a moustache in a blue sweater. They trudge upslope through falling snow, leaning into the rope against the blue sky and white clouds.

Homer holds out a black can labeled "Flapjacks in Oil" that the moustached man takes, and the man looks uneasy as he lifts a gloved hand to his moustache and eats from the can. Snowy peaks and a pale blue sky with white clouds fill the background.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, watches through a pink window with purple frames while Maggie, with her pacifier and blue bow, peers from a small inset at the left edge. Then Homer, in an orange parka, blue pants, fur-lined hat, blue gloves and a brown backpack, climbs a jagged purple mountain under white clouds, moving from the rock face onto a snowy cliff, and finally sprawls flat on a ledge with his arms outstretched and his pack on his back.

> Oh, air's getting thin, but I'm gonna make it.

## 17:34–17:42

Homer, the bald, heavy man with stubble in an orange parka, blue gloves and a fur-lined orange hat with a brown backpack, clings to a steep purple rock face against a blue sky with white clouds. He reaches up with his blue-gloved hand, grimacing and gritting his teeth, then his mouth opens as he looks strained and dizzy. He keeps climbing, pressing his face and gloved hand against the rock, and at the end he grips a ledge with a clenched fist while his expression tightens.

> Ooh, getting lightheaded.
> Good.

Homer Simpson, wearing an orange jacket, blue gloves, an orange-and-grey fur-trimmed winter hat and a brown backpack, clings to a purple rock face against a blue sky with white clouds. He grips the rock with his blue-gloved hand, grinning and then looking wide-eyed and alarmed while his mouth opens and closes as he speaks. In the final frames he slips down the rock face, his legs and boots dropping past the rock's edge as he falls away from the cliff.

Homer, first in an orange jacket, fur-trimmed hat and brown backpack, climbs a long escalator up a pink rocky mountain under a yellow sky. Partway up he is now in a blue tuxedo and top hat, waving, and at the top he grins with both arms raised before riding a blue ram with curled horns across the sky.

Homer Simpson, a small yellow cartoon figure in a grey suit, top hat and red bow tie, first rides a blue horned creature and then is carried in the grip of a large white furry yeti, who grins and holds him against its chest. Later the yeti walks across a pink rocky landscape under purple-tinted clouds, then pumps a blue hand-operated pump on a pink mound, lifting Homer upward on its piston while it raises one arm and laughs.

Homer, the bald heavyset man with stubble, wearing a top hat, a suit and a red bow tie, is first seen floating through a sky of purple-grey clouds with a startled expression. He then appears standing on a grey stand beneath a large pink bubble-blowing wand amid floating golden bubbles, and he rises up onto the stand's top as the wand sits above him. Next he is trapped inside a golden bubble, which rests on a pink ring-shaped base, while he stands stiffly in his suit and hat. In the final frames he is shown in close-up, outside the bubble, with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression against a pale blue sky with a bubble and clouds behind him.

A bald, heavy yellow-skinned man in an orange jacket, blue trousers and a brown backpack sprawls face-down on a sloping purple rock face under a blue sky, then clings there while a white goat with curved horns and a shaggy white animal approach him beside a dropped black radio and a folded green map. He then climbs a snow-dusted purple mountain in falling snow, gripping an ice axe with one raised arm and hauling his body upward toward the peak.

Homer, bundled in an orange parka, fur-lined hat, blue gloves and a brown backpack, clings to a purple icy rock face as snow falls around him, shouting and straining while gripping an ice axe. He then slips and sprawls flat across the jagged purple ridge, digging his axe into the rock to hold on as he struggles forward through the swirling snow. Under a pale cloud and blue sky, he keeps inching along the rock, pulling himself ahead with his gloved hands and axe.

Homer, wearing an orange parka, blue gloves, a fur-trimmed hat and a brown backpack, is on a snowy mountainside during a blizzard. He pulls himself up out of a snow drift, weeping and gripping an ice axe, then slides face-first down the slope with his arms outstretched, tumbling and turning as the snow falls. He keeps sliding downhill, eyes wide and mouth open in dismay, with the ice axe still in his hand.

Homer, in a red parka, fur hat and backpack, and a frozen, icicle-coated man with a moustache and teal sweater are first shown in darkness, after two glowing white eyes drift across the black screen. The scene is a purple ice cave where Homer holds up a lantern, shivers and wipes his mouth while the frosty man in the sweater gapes and gestures. Homer then sits on the ice beside the stiff companion, whose booted feet stick out, with the lantern at his side.

Grampa, in a red coat, blue gloves and a fur-trimmed hat, sits in a purple cave-like space reading a green book titled Journal of C.W. McAllister, tears streaming down his face as his eyes shift and he stares ahead. The scene then moves to a close-up of the open book, its handwritten pages marked by a red ribbon bookmark, with lines reading 'I have mountaineered to the utmost, but the peak is unclimbable' and a complaint that Abe Simpson stole his oxygen and tried to eat his left arm.

An elderly man in an orange parka, red hat and blue scarf, with grey curly hair and stubble, weeps in a purple icy cave while a frozen body in a green sweater lies nearby with a gloved hand extended. The moment opens on a journal page marked "Last entry" under a dark pointing finger, then cuts to the crying man, who pauses, opens his mouth to speak and then reads from a green book titled "Journal of ... Allister" as tears stream down his face. Snow and frost cover the scene, and the journal text describes a failed mountain climb and a treacherous skunk who stole oxygen.

Grampa, the wrinkled old man with white tufts of hair in a fur hat and red parka, kneels on the ice of a purple cave, reading aloud from a green book with small text while blue mittens hold it open. Across from him sits a frozen, icy-blue man with a moustache and green sweater, likely Ned Flanders, his boots and clothes crusted with icicles, his hands raised in front of him and his mouth open. A lit lantern rests on the ice between them. As Grampa keeps reading, his mouth moves and his expression shifts from calm to troubled, while the frozen man's hands gesture and his wide-eyed face stays frozen in alarm.

A lone climber in an orange jacket and blue trousers stands near a small white flag on a jagged, snow-streaked purple mountain peak against a blue sky and drifting clouds. Dust and smoke puffs billow around the rocky summit as a large slab of rock breaks loose and tumbles past, while a small dark-clothed figure appears on the slope beside the flag. The climber stays on the summit with the flag as the clouds keep drifting and the dark figure settles nearby.

Homer Simpson, bald and stubbled in an orange parka, fur-lined hat and brown backpack, stands on a snowy mountaintop under cloudy blue sky, his face frosted with ice and breath steaming from his mouth as he shouts and gestures with excitement. Behind him to the right sits a frozen, blue-tinged man in a grey-green jacket and hiking boots, slumped on the snow and apparently dead, who remains motionless throughout. Homer's expression shifts from wide-eyed shock to a grinning, proud shout, and he turns his head from side to side, while the snow-dusted rocks and clouds around him stay unchanged.

He then offers her a can labeled POWER from his hand, and she looks at it sideways as he grins. The scene cuts to Bart, in a red hooded jacket, squinting through a large telescope on a tripod while Lisa stands beside him looking on, and he opens his mouth as he looks through it.

Homer's expression shifts from smug to laughing, and the scene cuts to a close-up of a purple mountain peak with a thin flagpole on top under a cloudy blue sky. Back on the clearing, Bart squints through the telescope while Homer stands arms crossed with a sour look, then Homer takes the eyepiece himself, looking through it as Bart watches.
