1. D'oh.
(screams)
Copy !req
2. Now, remember,
we have to leave nature
Copy !req
3. just the way we found it.
Copy !req
4. Everything we pack in, we pack out.
Copy !req
5. What if I have to do my business?
Copy !req
6. Use this plastic bag.
Copy !req
7. Oh, how come bears
can crap in the woods
Copy !req
8. and I can't?
Copy !req
9. Ah, we're so lucky to have
this untouched piece of paradise
Copy !req
10. so close to Springfield.
Copy !req
11. - (buzzing)
- (gasps) Bees!
Copy !req
12. They sound angry and Africanized.
Copy !req
13. OK, nobody panic.
Copy !req
14. There's plenty of spray for me.
Copy !req
15. - (tires squealing)
- That doesn't sound like bees.
Copy !req
16. Oh, my god!
Copy !req
17. It's a racetrack.
Copy !req
18. (gasps)
The bird sanctuary.
Copy !req
19. They ruined it.
Copy !req
20. No, they didn't.
Copy !req
21. They just surrounded it
with something wonderful.
Copy !req
22. Like a raisin covered in chocolate.
Copy !req
23. Or a monkey in a cowboy suit.
Copy !req
24. Hmm.
Whoa!
Copy !req
25. Hmm.
Whoa!
Copy !req
26. See?
Animals can get used to anything.
Copy !req
27. (squawks)
Start your engines!
Copy !req
28. Show us your boobs.
Show us your boobs.
Copy !req
29. Oh, you better do
what he says, Marge.
Copy !req
30. Cool!
Copy !req
31. Way to adapt, little guy.
Copy !req
32. Why do jerks think everyone wants
Copy !req
33. to see their stupid name?
Copy !req
34. Sorry to break up your picnic, folks.
Copy !req
35. I'm two-time
fast car champ Clay Babcock.
Copy !req
36. You're on fire!
Copy !req
37. Yeah, I have won a lot of races,
Copy !req
38. but it's all thanks to my crew, really.
Copy !req
39. Eh! Ah! Hoo! There it is.
Copy !req
40. Mr. Babcock, can I take a ride
in you car?
Copy !req
41. Well, my "A" car was just incinerated,
Copy !req
42. but, uh, you could ride in my "B" car.
Copy !req
43. I don't see why not.
Copy !req
44. Bart, these are the time trials
Copy !req
45. that determine the pole position.
Copy !req
46. Shouldn't you be keeping
your hands on the wheel?
Copy !req
47. Oh, sure, if you want to drive
Copy !req
48. the traditional way.
Copy !req
49. - Whoa!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
50. Boy, these cars are surprisingly roomy.
Copy !req
51. Yeah, we like to bring
our families along
Copy !req
52. on the longer races.
Copy !req
53. If I get tired, I let my wife drive.
Copy !req
54. She's good.
Copy !req
55. Get your feet off the upholstery.
Copy !req
56. Folks, I got some spare tickets
Copy !req
57. if you'd like
to stick around for the race.
Copy !req
58. That's very sweet,
Copy !req
59. but we have a full day
of hiking planned.
Copy !req
60. We can hike anytime.
Copy !req
61. This is our chance to see cars driving.
Copy !req
62. Oh.
Hmm.
Copy !req
63. Hi-diddly-ho,
pedal-to-the-metal-o-philes.
Copy !req
64. Flanders? Since when do you like
anything cool?
Copy !req
65. Well, I don't care for the speed,
Copy !req
66. but I can't get enough
of that safety gear.
Copy !req
67. Helmets, roll bars, caution flags.
Copy !req
68. I like the fresh air
Copy !req
69. and looking at
the poor people in the infield.
Copy !req
70. Dang, Cletus!
Copy !req
71. Why did you have to park
by my parents?
Copy !req
72. Now, honey, they's my parents, too.
Copy !req
73. Gentlemen,
Copy !req
74. start your engines!
Copy !req
75. Daddy, can we move closer?
Copy !req
76. Abso-not-ly, hot-roddy.
Copy !req
77. We're up here out of range
of the crashes
Copy !req
78. and the drivers cussing.
Copy !req
79. - Move your damn butt!
- Bite me!
Copy !req
80. Come on! Somebody crash!
Copy !req
81. Be patient, son.
Copy !req
82. A watched car never crashes.
Copy !req
83. - (crash)
- Oh, I missed one!
Copy !req
84. Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
85. The dice! The dice! The dice!
Copy !req
86. Eight seconds. Great job, boys.
Copy !req
87. Let's go! New tires! Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
88. We're going as fast as we can.
Copy !req
89. Hey, who are you?
Copy !req
90. Oh, how rude of me.
My name is...
Copy !req
91. My bad.
Copy !req
92. And now,
Copy !req
93. here's something for the guys.
Copy !req
94. Finally.
Copy !req
95. Let's hear it
Copy !req
96. for Fan-demonium!
Copy !req
97. Hey, racing fans,
Copy !req
98. who wants a free t-shirt?
Copy !req
99. - (all yelling)
- Me, me.
Copy !req
100. I do, I do.
Copy !req
101. Wait. No, I don't.
Copy !req
102. Hmm. A Ford
urinating on a Chevrolet.
Copy !req
103. Don't you usually laugh at everything?
Copy !req
104. Yes. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
105. Come on! Right here!
Copy !req
106. - Ow!
- (all gasping)
Copy !req
107. I'm OK, folks.
Copy !req
108. I need a shirt!
Copy !req
109. Give me a shirt!
Copy !req
110. Mommy has bosoms like that.
Copy !req
111. Yeah, I wish.
Copy !req
112. Neddy, I've had about all I can take
Copy !req
113. of Homer Simpson's torso.
Copy !req
114. I'll get some hot dogs.
Copy !req
115. No foot-longs.
Copy !req
116. I know.
Copy !req
117. - They make you uncomfortable.
- (Homer humming)
Copy !req
118. Well, I guess no one else
Copy !req
119. wants a t-shirt.
Copy !req
120. That's a damn lie and you know it!
Copy !req
121. Give me a shirt!
Copy !req
122. You heard him, girls.
Copy !req
123. Hey, t-shirt, t-shirt, t-shirt!
Copy !req
124. Fire!
Copy !req
125. Ooh! A bobby pin.
Copy !req
126. (gasping) Maude?
Copy !req
127. Oh, my lord! She's dead.
Copy !req
128. (gasps) Ah...
Copy !req
129. It's hard to believe
Copy !req
130. we're never going
to see Maude again.
Copy !req
131. And poor Ned didn't get a chance
to say good-bye.
Copy !req
132. Well, from now on, I'm never going
to let you leave the room
Copy !req
133. without telling you
how much I love you
Copy !req
134. and how truly special—
Copy !req
135. This is really eating up a lot time.
Copy !req
136. Maybe just a pat on the butt.
Copy !req
137. Yeah, that works.
Copy !req
138. Now, Homie, you know
Ned and the boys need us
Copy !req
139. and you know what that means.
Copy !req
140. I know.
Copy !req
141. No more being a jerk.
Copy !req
142. That's right.
Copy !req
143. In many ways, Maude Flanders
was a supporting player
Copy !req
144. in our lives.
Copy !req
145. She didn't grab our attention
Copy !req
146. with memorable catch phrases,
Copy !req
147. or comical accents.
Copy !req
148. - Aye.
- Arrgh.
Copy !req
149. But whether
you noticed her or not,
Copy !req
150. Maude was always there.
Copy !req
151. And we thought she always would be.
Copy !req
152. My friends, life is about change.
Copy !req
153. Just yesterday,
Apu was a lonely bachelor.
Copy !req
154. Yes, thank God, those days are over.
Copy !req
155. And the Van Houtens were enjoying
Copy !req
156. a storybook marriage.
Copy !req
157. Yeah. Lots of storybooks
have witches.
Copy !req
158. - Shut up, Kirk.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
159. And now the good people
at Fan-demonium,
Copy !req
160. as part of a generous settlement
Copy !req
161. will fire a 21 t-shirt salute.
Copy !req
162. Finally!
Copy !req
163. Ned, my friend, please know
that the Kwik-E-Mart
Copy !req
164. is there for you 24 hours a day.
Copy !req
165. Oh, thank you, Apu.
Copy !req
166. And I'm going to give you
Copy !req
167. all of Maude's
frequent-squishee points.
Copy !req
168. The boys at headquarters
will not like it,
Copy !req
169. but I'm getting pretty sick
of them and their Bombay attitude.
Copy !req
170. Yeah, that's enough there, 'pu.
Copy !req
171. Look, Ned, I know
we ain't hung out much,
Copy !req
172. uh, what with your insane fear
of drinking,
Copy !req
173. and me being banned
from the church and all,
Copy !req
174. but, uh, but that Maude,
she was really something.
Copy !req
175. Oh, wasn't she? Thank you, Moe.
I appreciate that.
Copy !req
176. No, I really mean it, though.
Copy !req
177. I mean, if it was you that died,
Copy !req
178. I would have been on her so fast.
Copy !req
179. What are you saying?
Copy !req
180. What? Nothing. She was hot!
Copy !req
181. What, you can't take a compliment?
Copy !req
182. You said "hot." You monster!
Copy !req
183. That's good. Now, let it out.
Copy !req
184. That's it. Let it out.
Copy !req
185. Send me to Maude.
Copy !req
186. That's it! Ah.
Copy !req
187. Oh, here I come, baby! Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
188. (Bart chuckles) Mmm.
Copy !req
189. Bart? Honey, I think you should go play
Copy !req
190. with Rod and Todd.
Copy !req
191. Aw, man, why does everything bad
have to happen to me?
Copy !req
192. When I'm feeling low,
Copy !req
193. you know what always cheers me up?
Copy !req
194. Is it love?
Copy !req
195. Kindness?
Copy !req
196. Ooh, tough room.
Copy !req
197. Video games! What do you got?
Copy !req
198. "Billy Graham's Bible Blaster"?
Copy !req
199. Keep firing! Convert the heathens!
Copy !req
200. - Got him.
- No, you just winged him
Copy !req
201. and made him a Unitarian.
Copy !req
202. Look out, Bart! The gentle Baha'i!
Copy !req
203. - (fanfare music plays)
- All right! Full conversion.
Copy !req
204. Thanks, guys.
This really cheered me up.
Copy !req
205. (male computerized voice)
Second coming. Reload, reload.
Copy !req
206. Can we play now?
Copy !req
207. You are playing. We're a team.
Copy !req
208. - Yay!
- Yay!
Copy !req
209. Now, if there's anything,
anything at all
Copy !req
210. I can do to help out.
Copy !req
211. Quit hogging Flanders.
Copy !req
212. I want to comfort him.
Copy !req
213. (laughs)
That's nice of you, Homer,
Copy !req
214. but... (sniffling) I think
I'll just go to bed.
Copy !req
215. Then I insist on walking you home.
Copy !req
216. Homer, this really isn't necessary.
Copy !req
217. Those feelings are normal, Ned.
Copy !req
218. They're part of the process.
Copy !req
219. Watch the sprinkler.
Copy !req
220. Hey, that's my sprinkler.
Copy !req
221. It's natural to feel that way,
Copy !req
222. but the sprinkler is gone.
Copy !req
223. It's time to let go.
Copy !req
224. I just bought that.
Copy !req
225. I know, I know.
Copy !req
226. It's never easy.
Copy !req
227. Do you want anything else?
Water? Chili fries?
Copy !req
228. How about some white noise?
Copy !req
229. - (imitating white noise)
- Oh, Homer...
Copy !req
230. (yawning)
you don't have to...
Copy !req
231. Sleep tight, Neddie.
Copy !req
232. - Ah... What the...
- (rock clanging)
Copy !req
233. Oh, you want a rock fight, eh?
(chuckles)
Copy !req
234. No, Homer! I just need to talk.
Copy !req
235. OK, be right down.
Copy !req
236. I just keep replaying
the whole thing in my head.
Copy !req
237. I can't believe
my last words to Maude
Copy !req
238. were "no foot-longs."
Copy !req
239. Yep, it would have been a lot better
Copy !req
240. if you'd said "I love you"
or "you're special".
Copy !req
241. You know, something sweet
instead of that hot dog crap.
Copy !req
242. If I'd only been a gentleman
Copy !req
243. and got the hot dogs myself,
Copy !req
244. she'd still be here.
Copy !req
245. Now, now, now,
don't beat yourself up.
Copy !req
246. I'm the one
who drove her out of her seat.
Copy !req
247. I'm the one who provoked
the lethal barrage of t-shirts.
Copy !req
248. I'm the one who parked
in the ambulance zone
Copy !req
249. preventing any possible resuscitation.
Copy !req
250. Ah, but, uh, there's no point
in playing the blame game.
Copy !req
251. Eh, you're right.
Copy !req
252. I just got to work
through the grief. (sighs)
Copy !req
253. There's not going to be
an easy answer.
Copy !req
254. Easy answer, eh?
Copy !req
255. Oh, yeah, that's it, baby.
Copy !req
256. That's the money shot.
Copy !req
257. Yeah, the camera loves you.
Copy !req
258. Oh-ho-ho, you tease, you.
(chuckles)
Copy !req
259. Why are you taping Flanders, Dad?
Copy !req
260. You'll see.
Copy !req
261. Do you even have a job anymore?
Copy !req
262. I think it's pretty obvious that I don't.
Copy !req
263. OK, I finished
the gardening sequence.
Copy !req
264. OK, from here, we star-wipe
Copy !req
265. to a glamor shot of Flanders
Copy !req
266. - paying his bills...
- (speaking indistinctly)
Copy !req
267. then we star-wipe to Flanders
brushing his...
Copy !req
268. Dad, there are other wipes
beside star-wipes.
Copy !req
269. Why eat hamburger
when you can have steak?
Copy !req
270. I'm taking my name off this thing.
Copy !req
271. So, how you doing, Ned?
Copy !req
272. Oh, it's been
a hard couple of months,
Copy !req
273. but I feel like I've turned a corner.
Copy !req
274. Well, that's all going to change,
Copy !req
275. - thanks to this tape.
- Tape?
Copy !req
276. Now, the audio needs
some tweaking
Copy !req
277. and there's some footage
of Maggie being born
Copy !req
278. that I couldn't get rid of...
Copy !req
279. Anyway, enjoy.
Copy !req
280. Single women of Springfield,
Copy !req
281. your prayers
have been flan-swered...
Copy !req
282. Ned Flan-swered, that is.
Copy !req
283. - Is this a dating video?
- Shush.
Copy !req
284. What would you say
about a man
Copy !req
285. who owns his own house
and his own car?
Copy !req
286. That's Ned Flanders...
Copy !req
287. a man who's not afraid to cry.
Copy !req
288. - Hey, Ned!
- (sobbing)
Copy !req
289. So that's why you maced me.
Copy !req
290. (chuckles)
Yeah.
Copy !req
291. Ned does everything with class.
Copy !req
292. Whether he's punching in
his ATM code...
Copy !req
293. or keeping clean in the shower.
Copy !req
294. Homer!
Copy !req
295. But don't take
my word for it.
Copy !req
296. Listen to this testimonial.
Copy !req
297. Oh, I would date Ned in a second
Copy !req
298. if I was a woman, or gay.
Copy !req
299. He looks like a cuddler, that Ned.
Copy !req
300. I—I like that.
Copy !req
301. I like to be held,
I like to be pampered...
Copy !req
302. So if you're tired
of dating the same old losers...
Copy !req
303. What are you doing, Homer?
Copy !req
304. Step up to the best.
Copy !req
305. Ned Flanders,
the man with the chest.
Copy !req
306. Eww...
Copy !req
307. Now, we'll just send this
to the dating service,
Copy !req
308. the chicks'll fall for you, and bam!
Copy !req
309. The healing begins.
Copy !req
310. Homer, you obviously went
to a lot of trouble, but dating?
Copy !req
311. It just feels way too soon.
Copy !req
312. Oh-ho-ho, that's great!
Copy !req
313. Chicks really dig sensitivity.
Copy !req
314. Did you get that, Bart?
Copy !req
315. - Got it.
- Beautiful. And star-wipe
Copy !req
316. and we're out.
Copy !req
317. Hmm...
Copy !req
318. Well, with triple word score, that's 90.
Copy !req
319. (laughs) I guess my luck
is starting to even out.
Copy !req
320. Ah, I'm just a Q without a U.
Copy !req
321. Mm.
Copy !req
322. Hello?
Copy !req
323. Mailman?
Copy !req
324. These are the women
who saw your videotape
Copy !req
325. and are interested.
Copy !req
326. And feel free to root around
In the one-nighter bin.
Copy !req
327. The bin is spoken for.
Copy !req
328. Are you going to call all those women?
Copy !req
329. No, the tapes will do just fine,
thank you.
Copy !req
330. Homer, I'm having second thoughts.
Copy !req
331. This feels so disloyal to Maude.
Copy !req
332. Oh, wake up, Ned.
Copy !req
333. You think Maude
isn't dating in heaven?
Copy !req
334. You think she would?
Copy !req
335. How could she not.
Copy !req
336. The place is full of eligible bachelors.
Copy !req
337. John Wayne, Tupac Shakur,
Sherlock Holmes...
Copy !req
338. (chuckles) Sherlock Holmes
was just a character.
Copy !req
339. He sure is.
Copy !req
340. OK, here goes nothing.
Copy !req
341. If you select me,
Copy !req
342. you'll get a lot more
than a Wharton MBA
Copy !req
343. pulling in 200K.
Copy !req
344. You'll get a woman
who's poised, articulate,
Copy !req
345. sophisticated, confident,
Copy !req
346. and highly sexual.
Copy !req
347. Hang on, I'm getting a fax.
Copy !req
348. Damn, I've just been indicted.
Copy !req
349. Looks like we're going to have
to reschedule.
Copy !req
350. - How's your July?
- Well, I—
Copy !req
351. Mine's terrible. Let's talk in August.
Copy !req
352. Mmm...
Copy !req
353. Dinner was delicious, Edna.
Copy !req
354. But I can't shake the feeling
Copy !req
355. that you're just using me
Copy !req
356. to get Principal Skinner jealous.
Copy !req
357. Oh, please.
Copy !req
358. I don't care what
Mr. Engaged-to-be-engaged thinks.
Copy !req
359. Hear that, Seymour?
Copy !req
360. Edna, this is childish.
Copy !req
361. Fine, then hang up.
Copy !req
362. I will hang up when he leaves.
Copy !req
363. Well, Diane,
I've sure enjoyed chatting with you
Copy !req
364. about your problems
with your mother.
Copy !req
365. Did you hear that, Foofie?
Copy !req
366. Sounds like somebody loves us.
Copy !req
367. - (chuckles)
Yes, he does.
Copy !req
368. Yeah, well, maybe
I'll call you again sometime.
Copy !req
369. Ooh, Foofie doesn't like
the sound of that "maybe"
Copy !req
370. 'cause him's a commitment dog.
Copy !req
371. Isn't him?
Copy !req
372. So how'd you do tonight, Romeo?
Copy !req
373. Well, I just can't relate
to the women of today, Homer.
Copy !req
374. Ah, it's probably me.
Copy !req
375. I'm about as exciting
as a baked potato.
Copy !req
376. You're darn right you are.
Copy !req
377. And you've got lots
of other great qualities, too.
Copy !req
378. That's right, Ned.
Copy !req
379. Those floozies we married
in Vegas were crazy about you.
Copy !req
380. What floozies?
What are you talking...
Copy !req
381. Marge, we're trying to help Ned.
Copy !req
382. Lord, I never question you,
Copy !req
383. but I've been wondering
Copy !req
384. if your decision to take Maude was...
Copy !req
385. well, wrong.
Copy !req
386. Unless this is part of your divine plan.
Copy !req
387. Oh... could you just give me
some kind of sign?
Copy !req
388. Anything?
Copy !req
389. Oh, and after all that
church chocolate I bought,
Copy !req
390. which by the way, was gritty
Copy !req
391. and had that white stuff on it.
(sniffles)
Copy !req
392. Well, I've had it.
Copy !req
393. Daddy, get up.
