1. D'oh! (screams)
Copy !req
2. Yay! (sighs)
Copy !req
3. You'll have to do a lot better than that,
Copy !req
4. especially since we've just been accepted
Copy !req
5. in the school band competition
at the county fair!
Copy !req
6. I'm sorry. I mean the state fair.
Copy !req
7. I hate to be a killjoy,
Copy !req
8. but do you really think we can win
Copy !req
9. playing "Stars and Stripes Forever"?
Copy !req
10. It's so beginner band
Copy !req
11. and we're advanced beginner band.
Copy !req
12. - This is band?
- Very well, Lisa.
Copy !req
13. What rousing Sousa march
would you have us play?
Copy !req
14. Well, I thought maybe,
for once, we could play a song
Copy !req
15. that wasn't written by Sousa.
Copy !req
16. You mean something just arranged by Sousa?
Copy !req
17. No. Something fresh and bold.
Copy !req
18. Well, darling, you have lost me.
Copy !req
19. How about something cool,
like "Camptown Races"?
Copy !req
20. Hey, Grandpa, the Civil War's over.
Copy !req
21. How about "Little Brown Jug"?
Copy !req
22. Oh! Stop with your devil music.
Copy !req
23. Lisa, this is all your fault.
Copy !req
24. Hey, the blond broad's got a point.
Copy !req
25. We need something
with a little ring-a-ding-ding.
Copy !req
26. Take your arm off me.
Copy !req
27. Ooh! This kitten's got claws.
Copy !req
28. OK, we'll do a different song.
Copy !req
29. Who cares? They all end up
sounding the same anyway.
Copy !req
30. What a fruit fly.
Copy !req
31. Vietnam veteran.
Copy !req
32. Do you have a military ID?
Copy !req
33. ID? Man, Charlie didn't ask for ID
Copy !req
34. when I fought at La Choy and Chun King.
Copy !req
35. I saw my best friend's head
explode at Margaret Cho.
Copy !req
36. Homer, give him the 50 cents.
Copy !req
37. Why should I?
Copy !req
38. Did my country give me a parade?
Copy !req
39. No, man! They spat at me and...
Copy !req
40. - Just go.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
41. This closes the saddest chapter
in American history.
Copy !req
42. I can't wait to do some shopping.
Copy !req
43. Look at all these innovative products.
Copy !req
44. Miracle shears.
Copy !req
45. Oh!
Copy !req
46. The drain bugger!
Copy !req
47. Huh?
Copy !req
48. Folks, how often have you
opened your morning paper
Copy !req
49. only to have the rubber band fly off
Copy !req
50. and hit you right in the eye?
Copy !req
51. Never, but it's my number one concern.
Copy !req
52. Well, with the Omnigogs system
Copy !req
53. those worries are a thing of the past.
Copy !req
54. - Oh!
- (gasping)
Copy !req
55. I'm all right, folks,
Copy !req
56. thanks to my Omnigogs!
Copy !req
57. A little late for Lenny.
Copy !req
58. Who are those pleasant old men?
Copy !req
59. It's B.T.O.
Copy !req
60. They're Canada's answer to E.L.P.
Copy !req
61. Their big hit was "T.C.B."
Copy !req
62. That's how we talked in the '70s.
Copy !req
63. We didn't have a moment to spare.
Copy !req
64. Hello, Springfield!
Copy !req
65. We're going to play
all your old favorites.
Copy !req
66. But first, we'd like to dip
into our new CD.
Copy !req
67. "Takin' Care Of Business"!
Copy !req
68. Don't worry, sir. We'll get to that one.
Copy !req
69. No talking! No new crap!
Copy !req
70. "Takin' Care Of Business" now!
Copy !req
71. Get to the working overtime part!
Copy !req
72. - Unbelievable.
- Dumb-ass.
Copy !req
73. Work out!
Copy !req
74. Oh!
Copy !req
75. Play "Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"!
Copy !req
76. We just did!
Copy !req
77. Whatever!
Copy !req
78. Be sure to stick around
Copy !req
79. for the battle
of the elementary school bands.
Copy !req
80. Oh!
Copy !req
81. Homer, Lisa's in that.
Copy !req
82. I stand by my disappointed groan.
Copy !req
83. Check out Lisa. She's a sax machine.
Copy !req
84. Makes me think I should have
done something with my life.
Copy !req
85. Oh, well.
Copy !req
86. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Copy !req
87. This is what comptrolling is all about.
Copy !req
88. Anybody got a building permit?
Copy !req
89. 'Cause we nailed it!
Copy !req
90. Way to blow, Lis!
Copy !req
91. That is the best version
of "Living in America"
Copy !req
92. I've ever heard.
Copy !req
93. Third best for me.
Copy !req
94. Well, unless there's another band
Copy !req
95. I think we have a winner.
Copy !req
96. Oh, wait.
Copy !req
97. There is another band— from Ogdenville.
Copy !req
98. Uh, please welcome the Ogdenville band.
Copy !req
99. "Stars and Stripes Forever"?
Copy !req
100. Oh, man. They're toast.
Copy !req
101. Oh! Glow Sticks?
Copy !req
102. But visual aids are against the rules.
Copy !req
103. Whoo, baby!
Copy !req
104. Well, it's not going to be easy
Copy !req
105. to pick a winner, but...
Copy !req
106. Ogdenville! Ogdenville!
Copy !req
107. But I think one school red,
white and blue us all away!
Copy !req
108. - (gasps) Oh.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
109. And the winner is... Ogdenville!
Copy !req
110. I hope you enjoy your plaque, cheater.
Copy !req
111. Well, I was going to give you
Copy !req
112. the good sportsmanship award,
Copy !req
113. but now I'm just going to be sick.
Copy !req
114. I can't believe those idiot judges
Copy !req
115. were impressed by glowing plastic tubes.
Copy !req
116. Look, Lisa!
Copy !req
117. It glows! Ooh.
Copy !req
118. Let's forget about the band contest
Copy !req
119. and just have fun at the state fair.
Copy !req
120. You mean state unfair.
Copy !req
121. Yeah, right, that's what I meant, Lisa.
Copy !req
122. - State unfair.
- Zing!
Copy !req
123. See, Marge?
Copy !req
124. I told you they could deep fry my shirt.
Copy !req
125. I didn't say they couldn't.
I said you shouldn't.
Copy !req
126. Step right up and see Duncan,
Copy !req
127. the Incredible Diving Horse!
Copy !req
128. I wish people would stop
telling me to step right up.
Copy !req
129. Looks like he's ready to dive, folks!
Copy !req
130. Another incredible performance
Copy !req
131. by this water-loving wonder horse!
Copy !req
132. What's that, Duncan?
Copy !req
133. You say you want to dive again?
Copy !req
134. Well...
Copy !req
135. This is clearly a case of animal cruelty.
Copy !req
136. Uh, do you have a permit for that?
Copy !req
137. No problem, sir. It's in my car.
Copy !req
138. You got to stop being so trusting, Chief.
Copy !req
139. I'd rather let 1,000 guilty men go free
Copy !req
140. than chase after them.
Copy !req
141. All right, show's over, folks.
Copy !req
142. I'm afraid this horse is going
Copy !req
143. to the dog food factory.
Copy !req
144. Good luck getting a horse to eat dog food.
Copy !req
145. You can't do that to Duncan.
Copy !req
146. It's not his fault
that his owner was a sleaze.
Copy !req
147. Look, I just want the horse
Copy !req
148. to have a good home or be food.
Copy !req
149. If you want to take him, fine with me.
Copy !req
150. Hmm.
Copy !req
151. Should the Simpsons get a horse?
Copy !req
152. Excuse me, but I believe
Copy !req
153. this family already had a horse
Copy !req
154. and the expense forced Homer
to work at the Kwik-E-Mart
Copy !req
155. with hilarious consequences.
Copy !req
156. Anybody care what this guy thinks?
Copy !req
157. No!
Copy !req
158. Tunnel!
Copy !req
159. Oh, my. Oh.
Copy !req
160. It's going to cost us $500
a week to keep Duncan.
Copy !req
161. But he'll bring us joy, Marge—
Copy !req
162. unlike all your silly gewgaws.
Copy !req
163. At least you don't have to feed
Copy !req
164. any of the stuff I bought at the fair...
Copy !req
165. Well, except the mop.
Copy !req
166. Marge, your pro-mop, anti-horse agenda
Copy !req
167. has been clear for some time.
Copy !req
168. But don't worry, I have a way
for Duncan to earn his keep.
Copy !req
169. Mm, that's terrific, Duncan.
Copy !req
170. You're 10 for 10.
Copy !req
171. Now let's look in the rule book
Copy !req
172. and see if horses can play in the NFL.
Copy !req
173. D'oh!
Copy !req
174. He's a diving horse—
Copy !req
175. maybe he could dive for pearls.
Copy !req
176. Pearls, eh?
Copy !req
177. Breakfast is served.
Copy !req
178. - Hey, Dad?
- Huh?
Copy !req
179. This horse is pretty fast.
Copy !req
180. Maybe we can race him.
Copy !req
181. Racehorse, eh?
Copy !req
182. Dear Mr. President...
Copy !req
183. What are you doing, Lisa?
Copy !req
184. Writing a letter to President Clinton
Copy !req
185. about that travesty of a band contest.
Copy !req
186. As a fellow sax player,
I'm sure he'll be outraged.
Copy !req
187. Honey, don't get obsessed with that.
Copy !req
188. Focus on the good things—
Copy !req
189. like this fire extinguisher
I got at the fair...
Copy !req
190. Mom, really it's...
Hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
191. It's the only fire extinguisher
Copy !req
192. endorsed by both Lynda Carter
and George Foreman.
Copy !req
193. I wonder what would happen
if they had a baby?
Copy !req
194. Dad, if we're going to race Duncan
Copy !req
195. shouldn't we hire a professional trainer?
Copy !req
196. Son, I learned everything I needed to know
Copy !req
197. from The Horse Whisperer.
Copy !req
198. Step one— seduce a lonely housewife.
Copy !req
199. Ma'am.
Copy !req
200. Now for the actual horse whispering.
Copy !req
201. When the race starts, run really fast.
Copy !req
202. Aw, come on! Come on!
There's got to a winner
Copy !req
203. on this floor somewhere.
Copy !req
204. Bingo!
Copy !req
205. Hey, let go, you lousy, stinkin'...
Copy !req
206. What?
Copy !req
207. You're...
Copy !req
208. beau-tee-full.
Copy !req
209. Uh-oh. This is a serious medical problem.
Copy !req
210. Uh, I got to go.
Copy !req
211. Just once I'd like to ride clockwise.
Copy !req
212. Really? I thought I was the only one.
Copy !req
213. Champion horse coming through.
Copy !req
214. - What the...
- (air horn blaring)
Copy !req
215. Good horse. Here's one taco
Copy !req
216. and you'll get another when you win.
Copy !req
217. Hey, where do you get those
metal dealies for his feet?
Copy !req
218. You mean horseshoes?
Copy !req
219. Hey, what's with the attitude?
I just want some dealies.
Copy !req
220. You really think that horse can
run a mile and a half?
Copy !req
221. He ran all the way here.
Copy !req
222. You can do it, Duncan.
Copy !req
223. I don't care if your odds are...
Copy !req
224. five million to one? Oh...
Copy !req
225. Don't worry, boy.
Copy !req
226. I'll love you even if you don't win.
Copy !req
227. That horse better win
Copy !req
228. or we're taking a trip to the glue factory
Copy !req
229. and he won't get to come.
Copy !req
230. Yeah, that's a great tour,
Copy !req
231. but you can't see it all in one day.
Copy !req
232. - Hey, be quiet.
- (bell rings)
Copy !req
233. And away they go!
Copy !req
234. - Go, Duncan!
- Go, number five!
Copy !req
235. - Go number five!
- Do it for Lenny!
Copy !req
236. It's Chock Full o' Drugs,
Copy !req
237. followed closely by Stalker
Copy !req
238. with Old Levis fading fast.
Copy !req
239. What's this?
Copy !req
240. Number five, Duncan,
Copy !req
241. the horse no one expected to do anything
Copy !req
242. isn't doing anything!
Copy !req
243. He hasn't even left the starting gate!
Copy !req
244. Come on, boy. I know you're scared,
Copy !req
245. but you can do this.
Copy !req
246. I believe in you!
Copy !req
247. Would you look at this?
Copy !req
248. The straggler, Duncan,
Copy !req
249. has exploded out of the gate
Copy !req
250. and is making a big move!
Copy !req
251. He's showing more heart
than any horse I've ever seen!
Copy !req
252. What a shame the race is already over.
Copy !req
253. Hmm.
Copy !req
254. Cheer up, son.
Copy !req
255. I thought you looked
Copy !req
256. damn good out there.
Copy !req
257. Oh, wait.
Copy !req
258. You were number five?
Copy !req
259. Ew! You st...
Copy !req
260. Damn good.
Copy !req
261. Duncan's really fast, Dad.
Copy !req
262. He was just intimidated
by those other horses.
Copy !req
263. Well, he's not going
to be intimidated anymore.
Copy !req
264. We're going to toughen him up.
Copy !req
265. Give him a new bad-ass attitude.
Copy !req
266. All those other horses will be shaking
Copy !req
267. in their horse dealies.
Copy !req
268. Hello. I'd like to speak
to President Clinton, please.
Copy !req
269. I wrote to him, and he never wrote back.
Copy !req
270. No, I don't want Al Gore.
Copy !req
271. Lisa, you've got to learn
that life isn't always fair.
Copy !req
272. Try to channel your disappointment
Copy !req
273. into something creative
Copy !req
274. like a sampler.
Copy !req
275. Is that Duncan?
Copy !req
276. Not anymore.
Copy !req
277. Ladies, say hello to...
Copy !req
278. Furious D?
Copy !req
279. He's the bad boy of racing.
Copy !req
280. He's got attitude and bad-itude.
Copy !req
281. So show him some latitude
Copy !req
282. and you'll win his gratitude.
Copy !req
283. - Only in America.
- Ew!
Copy !req
284. You used my bracelet for a nose ring!
Copy !req
285. Possessions are fleeting.
Copy !req
286. Why, look at that disgraceful beast.
Copy !req
287. Good lord.
Copy !req
288. What has become of the sport of kings?
Copy !req
289. Get bent.
Copy !req
290. That's my third monocle this week.
Copy !req
291. I simply must stop being so horrified.
Copy !req
292. So many horses.
Copy !req
293. I don't know who to vote for.
Copy !req
294. Can't I just bet that all the horses
Copy !req
295. will have a fun time?
Copy !req
296. Yeah, I think you want that line.
Copy !req
297. Whoa. He looks scary.
Copy !req
298. Yeah, I'm shaking in my silks.
Copy !req
299. Don't listen to them, D. Just remember,
Copy !req
300. you've got a new persona.
Copy !req
301. A new per-so-na.
Copy !req
302. - (bell rings)
And away they go.
Copy !req
303. OK, Lisa, I've got
Furious D across the board
Copy !req
304. boxed with the three and the eight
Copy !req
305. and wheeled up and down.
Copy !req
306. Mom, I think you might be
developing a gambling problem.
Copy !req
307. Hey, I'm watching you.
Copy !req
308. They're tightly bunched
Copy !req
309. as they round the far turn.
Copy !req
310. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
311. Hang on to your monocles
Copy !req
312. 'cause Furious D
Copy !req
313. is closing like a horse possessed.
Copy !req
314. Ahh!
Copy !req
315. That's it, D. Don't let anyone
push you around.
Copy !req
316. Be as bad as you want to be.
Copy !req
317. - And the winner— Furious D.
- (bell rings)
Copy !req
318. Oh, man, that horse
don't take no guff from nobody.
Copy !req
319. Guff?
- I mean, sh...
Copy !req
320. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
321. In your little faces!
Copy !req
322. Man, I got more trophies
Copy !req
323. than Wayne Gretzky and the Pope combined.
Copy !req
324. You're quite a trainer, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
325. Care to join us for a beer
in the jockey's lounge?
Copy !req
326. I've been waiting
all my life to hear that.
Copy !req
327. Hey, where'd you go?
Copy !req
328. Little man? (yelps)
Copy !req
329. What happened?
Copy !req
330. What is this place?
Copy !req
331. Welcome to the secret land of the jockeys.
Copy !req
332. Why are you talking like that?
Copy !req
333. These are our real voices.
Copy !req
334. (deeper) We only talk like this
on your surface world.
Copy !req
335. But you're respected athletes.
Copy !req
336. You own car dealerships
and marry beauty queens.
Copy !req
337. All a lie.
Copy !req
338. What woman would marry us?
Copy !req
339. We're freaks.
Copy !req
340. Freaks... Freaks... Freaks...
Copy !req
341. Ha!
Copy !req
342. - Ooh!
- Ha-ha!
Copy !req
343. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
344. My horse must lose?
Copy !req
345. And what if I refuse to lose?
Copy !req
346. We'll eat your brain.
Copy !req
347. Ow!
Copy !req
348. Ah! (whimpers)
Copy !req
349. Did that really happen
Copy !req
350. or was it just a wonderful dream?
Copy !req
351. No dream. Lose the race, fat boy.
Copy !req
352. Son, don't ask why
Copy !req
353. but you have to lose the big race.
Copy !req
354. You want me to lose the Springfield Derby?
Copy !req
355. But you always taught me
that winning was everything.
Copy !req
356. Oh, it is, it is,
Copy !req
357. but we've been pushing
that poor horse too hard.
Copy !req
358. Maybe, but, if Duncan wins the derby
Copy !req
359. he can spend the rest
of his days as a stud.
Copy !req
360. Well, it is a good life, believe me...
Copy !req
361. All right. We'll give it a shot.
Copy !req
362. I'll deal with those murderous trolls.
Copy !req
363. - Huh?
- I mean...
Copy !req
364. I'll deal with those murderous trolls.
Copy !req
365. Welcome
to the Springfield Derby—
Copy !req
366. the fifth and penultimate duel
of racing's triple crown.
Copy !req
367. Good luck today, Bill.
Copy !req
368. - (bell rings)
- And away they go.
Copy !req
369. Furious D takes the early lead.
Copy !req
370. Ow! Ooh! Oh!
Copy !req
371. What a shameful display
Copy !req
372. by these tiny hotheads.
Copy !req
373. Let's try to remember
the good little people
Copy !req
374. like James Madison
or Oscar-winner Linda Hunt.
Copy !req
375. Ow! Ack! Ow!
Copy !req
376. Oh, I, uh... what's going on?
Copy !req
377. Could it be? In a bizarre twist,
Copy !req
378. a horse is abusing a jockey.
Copy !req
379. Might this be the start of
Copy !req
380. a terrifying Planet of the Horses?
Copy !req
381. In this announcer's opinion,
almost certainly yes,
Copy !req
382. and away I go.
Copy !req
383. Go, son!
Copy !req
384. Do it for the normals!
Copy !req
385. I can't stress enough how easy it was
Copy !req
386. to win this prestigious race
and furthermore...
Copy !req
387. Hollywood is leading our kids
down a moral sewer. Got to go.
Copy !req
388. You must die!
Copy !req
389. Hey, need any help, Homer?
Copy !req
390. No, we're cool.
Copy !req
391. Marge, now!
Copy !req
392. Son, go get me a trash bag.
Copy !req
393. - Hey!
- Let us out!
Copy !req
394. - Let me out of here!
- Please!
Copy !req
395. We'll give you gold!
Copy !req
396. Now that you're champion
Copy !req
397. you have your pick of the fillies.
Copy !req
398. Yeah, she's the best.
Copy !req
399. Whoo, can you imagine
her face on her body?
Copy !req
400. President Clinton?
Copy !req
401. Yeah, hi. I'm here to see Lisa Simpson.
Copy !req
402. (gasps) You read my letter?
Copy !req
403. Much of it, yeah,
Copy !req
404. and those glow-sticks
were wrong, very wrong.
Copy !req
405. So I've personally overturned the results
Copy !req
406. of that band contest.
Copy !req
