No regular characters appear in this opening sequence. It begins on a black screen, then shows drifting tan clouds against a blue sky while the title text THE SIMPSONS forms and comes into focus in yellow letters. The clouds keep sliding across the view as the title remains visible. A yellow-outlined circular window then opens onto a cartoon view of Springfield, with a grey nuclear power plant cooling tower bearing an atom symbol, pink and orange buildings, green hills and red-and-yellow fields. The view pulls toward the plant and a sign reading Welcome to Springfield appears at the bottom, while a building labeled Springfield Elementary-style sign is visible beside the tower, and a large grey tower with an atom symbol sits in the foreground.

## 0:10–0:20

Bart, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt and blue shorts, writes "I will not scream for ice cream" over and over on a classroom chalkboard, seen through a purple window of Springfield Elementary School. As the lines fill the board, he grimaces, clutches his mouth, and bursts into a scream, then dashes out of the classroom door on the left. The scene opens on the school's orange facade, double doors, and sign reading "Springfield Elementary School," with a street and shop awning beside it.

Bart Simpson in an orange shirt skateboards out of the doors of Springfield Elementary School, then rides along a path past bushes and a tall glass building. Inside a control room with a CAUTION sign, Homer in a yellow protective suit and visor pulls a lever while Mr. Burns and Smithers, who wears glasses, watch from behind a counter. In a store, Marge with her tall blue beehive reads Mom Monthly and Frosted Krusty Flakes as Maggie, with her pacifier and blue bow, holds up a CHECKS sign at the register beside a heavy cashier in a pink shirt and grey apron.

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stands at the left behind a metal railing, while Maggie with her pacifier and blue bow peeks up beside her in the first frames. Marge looks on and gestures as the scene moves to a music room with orange walls and a bust on a shelf, where Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, conducts a band of students with a baton, and a bald man with stubble, a grey-haired background player, and a mop-haired boy play along. Lisa, wearing a red dress and pearl necklace, plays a light blue saxophone while two girls in purple dresses play flutes beside her. Mr. Burns scowls and waves his hand at the players, then Lisa walks away down a blue-tiled hallway with orange walls and posters, holding her saxophone, and she pauses near the closed double doors at the end, where a small purple item is visible on the floor.

Homer Simpson drives a pink car at night, first calm, then scowling and rubbing his eye as sparks flash around his head. The scene cuts to Bart Simpson on a skateboard along a city sidewalk past an orange brick building with an OPEN sign, raising his arms and gripping the leash of a brown dog while Apu Nahasapeemapetilon holds him steady. Barney, a heavy drunk with messy brown hair, stands beside bottles on the sidewalk, and Chief Wiggum later steadies Bart on his skateboard in front of a Krusty the Clown TV display, with a red-and-orange car passing a large statue of a figure near a street sign.

Later the seated family shifts, with Maggie moving to the left end of the couch, Marge at the right, and Lisa and Bart in the middle, before the scene settles. The television then displays a blue screen reading 'CREATED BY MATT GROENING', which changes to 'DEVELOPED BY JAMES L. BROOKS, MATT GROENING, SAM SIMON' in yellow letters.

A dark-haired man in a white robe and tie, not a recognizable regular, stands at a wooden pulpit flanked by pink-flowered arrangements in a stained-glass church, with a crowd of townspeople seated in pews before him. The scene moves from a wide exterior view of the church and its parked cars to the interior, where the speaker leans on the podium, gestures, and grimaces while the credits "Executive Producer DAVID S. COHEN" and "Co-Executive Producer GEORGE MEYER" appear over the scene. He keeps talking with his eyes glancing to the side, and a blue banner with a white marine creature hangs on the podium.

At the front, a man with neat black hair in a white robe speaks at a wooden lectern with a microphone, flanked by two potted green plants with pink flowers and a blue banner bearing a white bird, under a stained-glass window. He gestures with an open hand and then rests his hand on his chin, while the pew congregation shifts and glances around.

Afterward, Patty and Selma, Apu in a purple suit and Carl walk through a doorway in a hallway, and the pink car drives past a house with Lisa and Homer inside. On-screen text in the car reads 'Supervising Producer RON HAUGE'.

Homer Simpson drives a pink car with Marge Simpson, with her blue beehive, sitting in the back left beside Lisa, Maggie in her pink car seat, and Bart, who leans forward between the seats. Marge turns to speak with a sour, irritated look, and Homer grins and talks while steering, as the cast credits appear over the bottom of the scene: Supervising Producer Donick Cary, Producer Brian Scully, Producer Julie Thacker, and Co-Producer Tom Martin. The car passes houses and trees along a suburban street, and the group stays seated throughout, with Bart's expression shifting from wide-eyed to bored.

> Mom, can we go Catholic so we can get communion wapers and booze?
> No, no one's going Catholic.
> Three children is enough, thank you.
> Hang in there, son. I'm taking us out for our traditional Sunday brunch.

Lisa Simpson, in her pink dress, stands in a health food store aisle lined with soy products, tofu, Fiber Bites and Bran Munch boxes, and she first looks around and gestures with her hands near a "SAY IT ISN'T SOY" sign. She then moves to the counter, where a clerk with orange hair, a green apron and a green cap talks with her and she raises a finger, while a dark-haired boy pushes a cart in the background and a woman in a green hat is partly visible behind the counter. The "HEALTH FOODS" sign hangs above, and the caption "Consulting Producer FRANK MULA" appears over Lisa in the middle frames.

> Ah, this is my kind of aisle.

In a supermarket cereal aisle, a blond woman in a green cap, black jacket and blue jeans pushes a shopping cart beside a brown-haired boy in a dark jacket over a green shirt and teal shorts. The woman lifts and shows a box of Alfalfa Bits while the boy scowls, leans on the cart, then walks off to the left, presses a hand to his face, and returns to jab a finger at the box and raise his fist. Captions over the scene credit consulting producers David M. Stern, Tom Gammill and Max Pross, David Mirkin and John Swartzwelder, and shelves behind them hold Bran Munch, Healthy Charms, Fiber Bites and Raisin Chunks boxes.

A spiky-haired boy with a fake brown moustache, a blue jacket and a purple tie stands at the counter of the Kwik-E-Mart, picking fudge pieces off a tray with toothpicks and eating them while glancing sideways. Beside him, a woman with curly orange-red hair, a green cap and a green apron stands with her arms at her sides, watching him with a sour expression. As he keeps eating, the tray is emptied and he chews a piece with his moustache slipping, while on-screen credit captions appear over the scene.

> So, you say this product is known as fudge?
> Yes.
> Just like it was last week.
> If you're gonna get snippy, I'll take my business elsewhere.

Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair in a red dress, and Homer, the bald heavy man in a blue suit, are at the Kwik-E-Mart freezer case stacked with Kenny's Vanilla and other pint cartons. Homer leans in from the left while Lisa stands at the counter, then she reaches into the freezer and holds a carton while Homer, frowning and speaking, stretches his arm in to grab one from the shelves. Lisa grimaces, then sneezes with a puff of frosty breath, and afterward she winces and shivers with her arms braced on the cold freezer lid.

> Candy Warhol?
> Xavier Nugget? No, nothing made of dead guys.
> What's in the back?
> Hurry up, my hands are getting cold. Ah-choo!

Homer, in a dark blue suit, reaches into a frosted freezer case of colorful boxed treats in a grocery store while Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, stands nearby holding Maggie in her blue outfit and watching. Marge gradually steps closer and raises a hand toward him as Homer keeps working at the case, its shelves and bread racks visible behind them. Homer then lifts Lisa, in her red dress and spiky hair, out of the freezer and holds her under the arms as she grips a frosted carton while Marge looks on with alarm.

> Oh my goodness, Homer, get her out of there.

Homer, Marge, Lisa and baby Maggie stand together in the Kwik-E-Mart, with Homer holding a green tub of sherbet and looking dismayed while Lisa grimaces beside him. Homer then stands rigid in his blue suit as Lisa cowers and Marge looks on, before the scene shifts to Apu's counter, where the mustached store owner in a green apron and cap leans over the lobster tank and holds up a red lobster while Marge peers through the glass at the lobsters inside. Shelves of colorful packaged goods line the store behind them, and a black arrow sign is visible on the counter.

> Eugh, Sherbert Hoover.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset, leans over a seafood tank of live red lobsters in a blue sweater, prodding one with a thin stick while a mustached man with grey-blue hair, a green cap, and a green apron over a white shirt looks on. Homer then straightens up in a blue suit and green tie, lifts a lobster from the water so water splashes from it, and gestures as he talks with the fishmonger beneath a fishing net hung with red starfish and shrimp decorations. Nothing readable is written on screen.

> Ahem.
> Those are eight dollars a pound, Sport.
> Eight dollars a pound times eight, oh, five pounds is, um, let's see.

Homer, bald and wearing a blue suit with a green tie, stands at a fish counter and gestures with his hands while talking to a man in a green cap, white shirt and green apron who has a grey moustache and stands behind the counter. Homer's expression shifts from calm talking to wide-eyed, grinning anxiety, and he rubs his chin and then turns away. In the later images he steps back, sits down and grips the edge of a light blue counter, clutching his head with both hands as he grimaces. Behind them hang a net decorated with red starfish and shells, and a wall-mounted cabinet is visible.

> How many pounds in a gallon? Oh, I can't afford that.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a blue suit and green tie, starts at a grocery counter holding a red lobster, then the scene moves to the Simpson living room where Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, Lisa in a white hat and dress, Maggie in a blue bow, and Bart in a blue suit walk past a fish tank on a purple table. Homer follows them in, and then stands behind the aquarium holding the lobster up with one hand while raising the other in an excited gesture, with the orange goldfish swimming below him and a framed picture of Maggie on the pink wall.

> Unless...
> Achoo!
> I tell you, I'm a financial genius. I buy an eight dollar lobster,

Homer, in a dark blue suit and green tie, stands behind a purple table holding a fish tank, while Bart in a blue sweater and Lisa in a white dress stand to the left in a pink room with a framed Maggie portrait on the wall. In the first two images a red lobster hangs from the top edge of the tank, and a small ripple appears on the water's surface. The scene then holds on the three of them as Homer raises a thumb toward the tank and speaks, with Lisa glancing up at him and Bart looking on. The lobster is then seen clinging inside the tank among orange goldfish and green plants, with the top of the tank showing a filter and a tall lid.

> Lobsters need salt water.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a dark blue suit and green tie, holds up a blue canister labeled SALT above a fish tank in a pink room, grinning in the first frame. Over the next frames he pours from the canister into the water while the two orange goldfish and a reddish lobster-like creature with claws remain in the tank, and his face shows wide-eyed concern as he peers in. The lobster then creeps across the gravel and the fish swim around the blue rock formation while the blue cloud of salt spreads through the water. In the final frames Homer keeps pouring salt as the creature moves toward the upper left and the fish drift near the rock, with no on-screen text visible.

> Grab the fish. And I'm still fine-tuning.
> Uh-oh.
> Perfect.

Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa stand in the pink living room beside a fish tank on a purple table, with Homer grinning and Lisa grimacing as Homer reaches up to hold a small box near Marge's face. A close-up then shows Marge, with her blue beehive and red bead necklace, holding up a pointer at a sign reading "COLD TABLETS" while looking unimpressed. The scene cuts to an exterior view of the red-and-tan house with a brown garage door and mailbox, then to a close-up of a frying pan holding two fried eggs and several strips of bacon.

Homer Simpson, in a blue shirt and white apron, and Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and pink robe, stand at the kitchen stove, where Homer flips eggs and bacon in a frying pan while Marge leans in with her arm around him. Homer then raises the pan as steam billows up, and Lisa in a red dress enters from the right to dab her eyes with a tissue before standing beside the counter. A glass fish tank holds orange goldfish and a red lobster-like creature, and a white hen-shaped egg basket sits on a pink cabinet nearby.

Lisa Simpson, a girl with spiky yellow hair in a red dress and a pearl necklace, stands in a bright pink-walled room with a potted plant and a hanging basket, dabbing her face and mouth with a white tissue. Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and pink bathrobe, kneels beside her, holding the tissue to Lisa's face and resting a hand on her head while Lisa pulls a sour, sniffling face and blows her nose. Lisa then wipes her mouth and slumps with the tissue hanging from her hand as Marge stands and reaches toward her head, and a figure in a white robe on the right steps closer while Lisa stands looking glum. A wicker basket holding a ceramic hen with the number 33 sits on a small table to the left.

> How are you feeling, sweetie?
> Much better.

No characters appear in this scene, which shows the exterior of the Simpson house on a sunny day under a clear blue sky. The two-story house has a pink front door, a red chimney, a detached garage with a closed tan door, a wooden fence on the left, and a blue mailbox by the street.

## 5:11–5:19

No Simpsons regulars appear; this cartoon scene shows a large grey shark swimming over a blue seabed dotted with orange coral-like growths and purple rocks, while two divers in black wetsuits, blue fins and purple tanks swim above it. A third diver follows behind the shark, then the shark swims on past green seaweed, and it turns to bite into a clump of green kelp, its jaws open with red gums and sharp teeth, then chews on the leaves. Later the shark is seen head-on among drifting seaweed fronds with bubbles rising. The scene ends on a wide blue sea under purple hills, where a dark green leaf-shaped creature with a head and bubbles rising from it swims through the water.

> but none attacks its prey with more fury than the seaweed shark.
> The struggle is soon over.

Lisa and Marge are in Lisa's pink bedroom, where Lisa lies under a blue blanket and Marge stands in the doorway with her arms folded beside a dark television and a Jazz Fest poster on the wall. Marge's face shifts from a stern stare to wide-eyed alarm while Lisa glares, then grits her teeth and shouts. Before this, an olive-green blob drifts across rippling blue water in front of purple hills.

> Oh, you shouldn't be watching the learning channel.
> You need to take it easy. But I'm hardly learning at all.
> Why don't you play with one of Bart's video games instead?

Lisa lies in bed beside a nightstand with a lamp and alarm clock as Marge, with her tall blue beehive and red bead necklace, stands by her, then sets a grey video game console with two controllers on the blanket and leans over it with a grin. Lisa picks up the controllers and watches sullenly, and the scene ends on a television screen showing a green background with a wooden 'DASH DINGO' sign and an orange creature in a wide-brimmed hat stepping forward.

Lisa Simpson sits in bed in a green shirt with a white collar, holding a grey remote and watching a television in her pink bedroom beside a pink lamp with a half-lidded, unimpressed expression. On the screen, a red-orange dingo in a khaki hat stands on a desert floor facing a giant face of a man in a black wide-brimmed hat with a green band, whose expression shifts from smug to scowling, then shouting, grinning, and laughing with eyes squeezed shut before returning to a sly smile. Throughout, the man's mouth opens and closes as he speaks to the dingo while Lisa keeps watching with her hand on the remote.

Lisa Simpson, with her spiky hair and red dress, appears in a green shirt and white collar, lying in bed and holding a dark handheld game device with a cord, looking bored and then speaking. The scene shifts to a small orange fox-like character in a khaki safari hat and green shorts, who walks down a dirt path toward a wooden temple-like doorway flanked by carved stone pillars. He steps through the doorway and approaches a glowing green-and-black patterned urn on a pale stone tile, then grabs and lifts its lid as he turns toward it. Three black-clad masked ninja-like figures with red headbands leap out from behind the urn, swinging blue nunchucks, and attack the fox, who is knocked sprawling on the purple tiled floor while his hat tumbles aside.

> I am so scared.
> All right, I guess you're supposed to go through this stupid door.

Lisa Simpson sits up in her bed in her pink bedroom, holding a game controller plugged into a grey console on the blue bedspread, scowling at the television at first with her eyes half-closed and her mouth open as she talks. The scene then cuts to the Simpson house at night, with its lit windows and a pink car parked in the driveway. Back in the bedroom, Lisa sits cross-legged on the bed with wide eyes and an open mouth, gripping the controller as she watches the television. Notable objects include a Jazz Fest poster, a pink lamp, a red alarm clock on the nightstand, and a black television with rabbit-ear antennas.

Finally, a girl with star-shaped spiky hair in a green dress sits on a green bed in a pink and purple room holding a game controller, while the boy in a blue shirt and red shorts stands by a brown door, then holds out a book with a cover image toward her.

Lisa later sits alone reading, and a TV on a green stand shows a grinning man in a wide black hat with a green band who first looks forward and then laughs with eyes shut while Lisa watches him. The purple and pink walls, a framed picture, and a black video game controller with cables on the couch are visible throughout.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in only white briefs, stands in a blue-tiled bathroom beside a red door and a green toilet, clutching a large red lobster against his chest while an orange goldfish sits near his mouth with bubbles rising from it. Over the moment he grins, gasps and looks wide-eyed, then tightens his grip and hugs the lobster closer, with its claws raised by his face. He squeezes it tighter and tighter, pressing it against his shoulder and face as the lobster's antennae wave, and a small green bottle sits on a purple shelf on the wall behind him.

Lisa takes the paper and holds up a blank sheet, staring with a worried, wide-eyed look, before the book's cover appears, showing a grinning frog in a brown coat and cap with the title in view. Back in the room, Lisa sits with a bored, half-lidded expression and speaks while a curly-haired boy in a teal shirt and a blonde girl with a ponytail and a light-blue bow watch beside her.

Lisa Simpson, a girl with star-shaped spiky yellow hair in a red dress and pearl necklace, stands beside a counter and holds a folded paper while a brown-haired boy in a pink shirt smirks at her. Behind them, a red-haired plumber in green overalls kneels in a bathroom doorway, working on a toilet that spills water across the blue tiled floor beside a toolbox and wrench. Lisa lifts a green dollar bill, then lays money on the counter, and the boy watches as she turns back toward the bathroom with the paper and money in her hands while the plumber keeps bent over the toilet.

> Keep the change. Come here, you slippery rascals.

Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, appears in a pink living room with a Maggie portrait on the wall and a lobster tank on a purple table. He first leans over the tank, then reaches in and lifts a big red lobster out, cradling it against his chest while water drips from it. He carries the lobster across the room past the staircase and a purple kiddie pool, then crouches to set it down on the floor, where a box of sausages sits beside him. Finally he stands by the pool holding a string of sausages and dangling them over the water, with the lobster tank now empty.

> Good news, my delicious friend. You're going to be a free-range lobster.
> Come on, boy, dig in. They'll give you a big, strong thorax.

Homer, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt and blue jeans, stands in a pink living room holding a long brown segmented object over a pink inflatable pool, grinning and then talking excitedly. He lowers the object into the water, then lunges forward and tumbles headfirst into the pool, sending water splashing over the floor. He rises above the pool's edge, dripping and crying, then raises both hands in an angry gesture while water drips from his arms, with a purple aquarium table and framed portraits of Lisa and Maggie on the wall behind him.

A red cartoon lobster, the only character shown, swims in a bright blue sea under a pink sky. It starts with its large claws raised and antennae out, then turns and drifts sideways, tucking its claws in close to its body. Later it curls its claws up in front of its face and then raises one claw high as it rotates, with its tail fan visible at the edge of the water.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset in a white shirt with his red-haired fringe visible at the sides, sits in a small pink inflatable kiddie pool on a teal floor in the living room, with a purple side table and a staircase behind him. A reddish lobster is in the water beside him: he first gestures with his hands while staring at it, then grimaces, leans forward and splashes at the water, and in the later moments the lobster raises its claw as Homer, eyes shut, sputters water from his mouth and then grins and grabs his belly. A tall vase of red flowers sits on the stairs behind him in several of the frames.

Mrs. Krabappel, a teacher with a tall brown hairdo, stands at the front of a classroom with a stack of papers while pupils sit at desks, including a blond boy with a bowl cut in a blue shirt (Ralph) who grins while holding a sheet. The scene moves to a close-up of that paper, which bears the partly visible name 'Ralph Wiggum' and a red letter being marked, then back to the teacher stepping over to Lisa in her red dress and pearl necklace, handing her a graded paper while Lisa looks up. Lockers, a first aid chart on the wall and a boy in an orange shirt sit in the background.

Lisa fidgets, bites her finger and looks up with wide eyes, then turns her gaze aside as the teacher talks, points at Lisa and gestures with the papers, and at the end Mrs. Krabappel taps a finger on the stack while Lisa sits quietly. A boy in an orange shirt sits at the left edge, and a boy with spiky-free dark hair in a teal shirt peeks from the right behind a desk, with green lockers and a pink wall behind them.

A pot of boiling water steams on the stove as Marge lifts its grey lid with a mitt and gestures with her other hand, while Homer looks anxious and reluctant. Marge then turns to Homer with a grin and a recipe card on the cupboard behind her, and Homer crosses his arms around the lobster, still holding it.

Lisa, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair, a red dress and a pearl necklace, sits on a chair beside a desk in a booth with a scoreboard reading "RINGFIELD", "QUARTER" and "VISI" and popcorn scattered on the floor, while a bald older man in a dark suit and red tie stands behind a seated man with swept-back reddish hair, a blue suit and a pink shirt. The men gesture and react as Lisa talks, leans forward over the desk and grits her teeth, then she sits at a control panel with buttons in a room of bookshelves, a mantel clock and a potted plant, pressing buttons and grimacing while her expression sours and her mouth opens and closes. A blue telephone and a small green desk lamp sit on the desk.

> No, does it ever.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man in a blue suit with a hooked nose, and Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses, are joined by Lisa in a red dress with star-shaped spiky hair. In a room with a large dark screen and a panel reading SPRINGFIELD, QUARTER and VISITORS, scattered popcorn on the floor and a blue telephone on a red desk, Burns first rests a hand on the seated Smithers and gestures, then Lisa sits on a small orange chair before rising and walking off while Smithers stands by the panel. The scene ends with the three at a window with shattered glass and a purple frame, Burns scowling and speaking.

Lisa Simpson, with her star-shaped spiky hair and pearl necklace, stands at a broken-paned purple window beside a brown-haired man in a teal suit and orange tie and an older grey-haired man in a navy suit and red tie who leans on the sill. Inside a dingy classroom with a corkboard of pinned notices behind them, the older man glares, grins, and speaks while Lisa looks up at him with wide eyes and then parts her lips to speak. The man in the teal suit stays mostly still, glancing down and closing his eyes at one point, as the older man's expression shifts from scowling to smirking and the three remain framed in the window.

## 20:27–20:37

Mr. Burns, a frail stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, grips the shoulder of a bearded man with glasses and brown hair in a blue jacket as they stand in a corridor by a corkboard, then pushes open a door and leaves the bearded man out of view. The scene shifts to a stage with a red curtain, a podium and two flags, where Principal Skinner in a suit and orange tie holds up a large check from the Department of the State Treasurer, payable to Springfield Elementary School for $250,000 and signed Comptroller Atkins. Seated audience members in the rows below raise their hands and cheer as he holds the check overhead.

> Hmm?
> Idiot.
> I know a liquor store where we can cash this right now.

## 20:37–20:41

A close-up of a quiz paper pinned to a green-and-olive board, headed 'Lisa Simpson' with a large red 'A+++' at the top and a red pin-like object at the top edge. A yellow hand with a red marker (Homer's hand, as the scene shows only the hand) changes the grade: first it draws over the A+++ and then carves a red stroke down the page, turning the grade into a large red 'F' while the scribbled answer lines and checkboxes stay visible beneath it. No faces are shown, only the hand and the graded paper.

> And so, that's one grade I truly earned.

## 20:41–20:52

Homer Simpson, bald and heavy in a white shirt, sits at the blue-draped kitchen table holding a can, while Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, mops the checkered floor and Lisa Simpson, in her red dress and pearl necklace, stands by the green refrigerator. Brown muddy paw prints mark the clean floor. Marge mops steadily and glances over at Homer, who gestures with one hand and then grins, while Lisa looks up at her parents. The kitchen has a green toaster-style appliance, a blender, and a magnet-covered fridge displaying a child's drawing of a house and tree, with an F-marked paper stuck to the door.

> Who left these muddy claw prints on my clean floor?
> Sorry, Marge, Pinchy got all dirty in the yard chasing birds.
> But don't worry, I put him in a nice hot bath.

## 20:52–21:03

Marge, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, mops the checkered kitchen floor while Homer, in a white shirt, stands behind the blue counter holding a red can, with Lisa and Bart beside the green refrigerator. Homer looks toward the kids, then slumps forward onto the counter with his eyes closed, and later spreads his arms wide as Marge, Lisa and Bart watch him. In the final moment Homer has disappeared from behind the counter, leaving the red can behind and brown debris scattered across the floor.

> Hey, what smells so good?
> Yeah, Pinchy?
> Pinchy?

## 21:03–21:07

No characters appear in this night scene of the Simpsons' house, with its pink front door marked 8, arched windows, and pink car parked in the garage driveway on the right. The view slowly drifts sideways across the house, shifting the chimney and fence while the starry purple sky and trees stay in place. The windows glow warmly and no action or on-screen text occurs.

## 21:07–21:18

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, sits at the kitchen table in a pink-walled room and eats a red lobster on a green plate, with a fork in hand. At first he covers his face with one hand, then rests his chin in his hand, then leans back laughing with his mouth wide open and his eyes shut. He keeps eating, raising the fork with a bite of white meat on it, and then laughs again with his mouth open and a hand raised. A green framed window is on the left and a checkered-floored kitchen with cabinets is visible on the right.

> Oh man, that's good.
> Pass the butter.

## 21:18–21:30

Marge with her tall blue beehive, Bart in an orange shirt, Homer in a white shirt, and Lisa with spiky hair and a red dress sit at a dining table in a pink room with a green picture frame on the wall. Homer sits behind a red lobster on a plate, and Bart holds a green mug in his hand while Homer lifts a bit of food to his mouth with his eyes squeezed shut and then slumps forward. Homer gestures with his hand and rests his arm on the table, while Bart keeps lifting the mug and Marge watches with a stern look. Glasses of milk, plates, and silverware sit on the table.

> Are you gonna eat that all by yourself?
> Pinchy would have wanted it this way.
> My dear sweet Pinchy.

## 21:30–21:39

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, sits at a wooden table in a pink kitchen with a green pitcher and a stove in the background, holding a fork and a red lobster on a plate. He grimaces, then chews with his mouth open while gripping the fork, then closes his eyes and sighs as he chews. He keeps eating with a wary expression, then slumps and stares blankly with his mouth open, and finally sits with his hands resting on the lobster, gazing sadly at the plate.

> No more pain where you are now, boy.

## 21:39–21:48

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, sits at a wooden kitchen table in front of a pink wall, eating a large red lobster on a green plate. He first grips the lobster with both hands, then bites into it with his eyes closed, then recoils with his mouth open in alarm, and later laughs with his mouth wide open. He then looks worried, rubs his eyes and face, and finally covers his face with both hands. A small green pitcher, a blue glass and silverware sit on the table, and a green oven and checkered floor are visible at the right.

> Oh, God, that's tasty.
> I wish Pinchy were here to enjoy this.

No regular characters or one-off characters appear in these frames. The scene opens on the exterior of the Simpson house at night under a starry purple sky, with a pink car parked in the driveway beside the pink garage door and a pink front door. The view stays on the house while the pale blue lawn and fence remain unchanged, and the scene then fades to black. Over the black background, the credit 'Executive Producer MIKE SCULLY' in orange lettering fades in and holds, then is replaced by 'Executive Producers JAMES L. BROOKS, MATT GROENING, SAM SIMON' in the same orange lettering.

Silhouetted audience members sit in rows of seats in a darkened movie theater, facing a blue-lit screen with ceiling lights overhead, and none of them can be identified by name. A beam of projector light sweeps across the screen as the white title 'GRACIE FILMS' appears, followed by 'IN ASSOCIATION WITH' on a black background. The scene then shows a golden 20th Century Fox Television logo rising against a blue sky with searchlight beams, with 'A News Corporation Company' appearing beneath it, before the screen fades to black.
