1. The Simpsons.
Copy !req
2. I hope you all are enjoying
Copy !req
3. your ride to and tour
Copy !req
4. of the Springfield Shopper newspaper.
Copy !req
5. Groundskeeper Willie
and I will stay behind
Copy !req
6. to remove
all traces of asbestos
Copy !req
7. and the word "evolution"
from our school.
Copy !req
8. Next stop, Margaritaville! Uh-
Copy !req
9. - Oh, they're still here.
- Yes.
Copy !req
10. Now I'd like to ask each child
to pair up with
Copy !req
11. a buddy so no one gets lost.
Copy !req
12. Come to think of it,
I haven't seen Uter
Copy !req
13. since the last field trip.
Copy !req
14. Uter?
Copy !req
15. I don't remember any Uter.
Copy !req
16. Silly name. Uter.
Copy !req
17. Dad, it's great that
you volunteered to drive.
Copy !req
18. But how did you
get out of work?
Copy !req
19. Don't worry, sweetie.
Daddy's got it covered.
Copy !req
20. I work hard for the money.
Copy !req
21. So hard for the money.
Copy !req
22. Oh, I something,
something money.
Copy !req
23. Come on
give me lots of honey.
Copy !req
24. Now, there's an employee, Smithers.
Copy !req
25. A smile on his lips
and a song in his heart.
Copy !req
26. Promote him.
Copy !req
27. Turn tape over!
Copy !req
28. Hey, I know
how we can have some fun.
Copy !req
29. I spy with my little eye...
Copy !req
30. something beginning with "D."
Copy !req
31. Dingus!
Copy !req
32. God bless you, Nelson Muntz.
Copy !req
33. I'm no hero.
Copy !req
34. I just like to hit people
in the head.
Copy !req
35. Hey, you!
Copy !req
36. You cut me off!
Copy !req
37. Oh, yeah! You!
Copy !req
38. Dad! That's an ambulance!
Copy !req
39. Oh, right!
Copy !req
40. Ambulance!
Copy !req
41. Think you're so big
with your siren
Copy !req
42. and your letters on backwards!
Copy !req
43. Here we are, kids. The zoo.
Copy !req
44. Well, that's great, Dad.
Copy !req
45. Except you were supposed
to drive us to the newspaper.
Copy !req
46. Welcome
to the Springfield Shopper,
Copy !req
47. established in 1883.
Copy !req
48. The newspaper was founded
by Johnny Newspaperseed,
Copy !req
49. a 14-year-old boy
Copy !req
50. who roamed America
founding newspapers.
Copy !req
51. If he's so smart,
how come he's dead?
Copy !req
52. Over the years,
the shopper merged
Copy !req
53. with the Springfield Times,
Post, Globe, Herald,
Copy !req
54. Jewish News
and Hot Sex Weekly
Copy !req
55. to become Springfield's
number-one newspaper.
Copy !req
56. Wow! A bustling
metropolitan newsroom
Copy !req
57. funneling scoops
from all over the globe.
Copy !req
58. Hi! Are you interested
Copy !req
59. in a subscription
to the Shopper?
Copy !req
60. Low introductory rates!
Copy !req
61. No, please you gotta help ol' Gil.
Copy !req
62. What's it gonna take
to keep you on the phone?
Copy !req
63. Dance for you?
But you wouldn't even see it.
Copy !req
64. Yeah. All right.
Copy !req
65. I'm dancin'!
Copy !req
66. And this is our
comic strip department.
Copy !req
67. Who here reads Mary Worth?
Copy !req
68. Let's move on.
Copy !req
69. This is where we store
Ann Landers and Dear Abby
Copy !req
70. for their 23 hours
of daily sleep.
Copy !req
71. My advice is to free us
or let us die!
Copy !req
72. Check it out, Dad.
You can print out the headline
Copy !req
73. from the day you were born.
Copy !req
74. Ooh! Pointless nostalgia!
Copy !req
75. I'd sure hate to be him.
Copy !req
76. And to protect Mother Earth,
Copy !req
77. each copy contains a certain
percentage of recycled paper.
Copy !req
78. And what percent is that?
Copy !req
79. Zero! Zero's a percent!
Copy !req
80. Hey, I smell cake.
Cake that says...
Copy !req
81. "farewell" and...
Copy !req
82. "best wishes!"
Copy !req
83. Your old man
has an awesome nose.
Copy !req
84. Oh, that's nothing.
He can hear pudding.
Copy !req
85. So, Mimi, this little shindig
is our way of saying farewell
Copy !req
86. to our favorite food critic.
Copy !req
87. What can I say except thanks
for the predictable champagne,
Copy !req
88. pizza that's hardly numero uno
Copy !req
89. and ice-cream cake
which reminds us,
Copy !req
90. why make 31 flavors when
you can't get vanilla right?
Copy !req
91. I wouldn't want
to be married to her.
Copy !req
92. I mean, again.
Copy !req
93. Who are you, and why are you
ruining my retirement party?
Copy !req
94. I'll have you know,
I wandered off from the tour.
Copy !req
95. Well, at least
you like the food.
Copy !req
96. Oh, I like food, all right.
Copy !req
97. I like pizza, I like bagels
Copy !req
98. I like hot dogs
with mustard and beer
Copy !req
99. I get the picture.
Copy !req
100. I'll eat eggplant
Copy !req
101. I could even eat
a baby deer.
Copy !req
102. La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la la-la.
Copy !req
103. Who's that baby deer
on the lawn there.
Copy !req
104. - Enough already!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
105. Hey, listen.
Copy !req
106. I just had a thought.
Copy !req
107. We're looking
for a new food critic,
Copy !req
108. someone who doesn't immediately
pooh-pooh everything he eats.
Copy !req
109. No, it usually
takes a few hours.
Copy !req
110. Uh, look...
Copy !req
111. I'd like to give you a tryout.
Copy !req
112. Write a 500-word sample review.
Copy !req
113. If it passes muster,
we'll put you on staff.
Copy !req
114. Thanks for the chance.
Copy !req
115. You won't never regret this,
Mr. Editing Guy.
Copy !req
116. You know, Homie,
the "e" doesn't work
Copy !req
117. on that typewriter.
Copy !req
118. We don't need no stinkin' "e."
Copy !req
119. "Restaurant review." No.
Copy !req
120. "Eatery evaluation." No.
Copy !req
121. "Food box - Go or no go,
Copy !req
122. by Homer." No.
Copy !req
123. Earl... no! Bill Simpson!
Copy !req
124. Well, what do you think?
Copy !req
125. This is a joke, right?
Copy !req
126. I mean,
this is the stupidest thing
Copy !req
127. I've ever read.
Copy !req
128. What's wrong with it?
Copy !req
129. Well, you keep using words
Copy !req
130. like "pasghetti"
and "momatoes."
Copy !req
131. You make numerous
threatening references to the U.N.
Copy !req
132. And at the end, you repeat
the words "screw Flanders"
Copy !req
133. over and over again.
Copy !req
134. Oh, it's so hard
to get to 500 words.
Copy !req
135. Oh, look, Homer, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
136. No! You're right! It's a joke!
Copy !req
137. Everyone laugh
at the funny joke! Ha-ha!
Copy !req
138. I'll be right back
with the real review.
Copy !req
139. Still not clean.
Stink of failure still on me.
Copy !req
140. Dad, I'm sorry the editor
didn't like your review.
Copy !req
141. I'll help you write
a new review
Copy !req
142. if you'll just let me
use the bathroom!
Copy !req
143. Still not clean.
Still not clean!
Copy !req
144. Okay, what restaurant
did we review?
Copy !req
145. Well, we went
to Pate Labelle last week.
Copy !req
146. - How about that?
- Great. Now let me think.
Copy !req
147. The food was...
Copy !req
148. Mmm... not undelicious.
Copy !req
149. The food is delicious.
Copy !req
150. That's brilliant!
Copy !req
151. Then I had the sweet,
sweet chocolate mousse.
Copy !req
152. Really,
the only word for it is...
Copy !req
153. Hmm. What's the English
equivalent for...
Copy !req
154. I'd say "transcendent."
Copy !req
155. How about
"groin-grabbingly transcendent"?
Copy !req
156. Er, I don't think so.
Copy !req
157. We make a good team.
Copy !req
158. A groin-grabbingly good team.
Copy !req
159. Four hundred and ninety seven,
Copy !req
160. four hundred
and ninety eight words.
Copy !req
161. How about "screw Flanders"?
Copy !req
162. Bon appetit.
Copy !req
163. Er, both's good.
Copy !req
164. Not bad! Not bad at all!
Copy !req
165. We're gonna run
this on page one...
Copy !req
166. of section H2.
Copy !req
167. Whoo-hoo! Stop the presses!
Copy !req
168. Okay, start the presses!
Copy !req
169. That takes four hours.
Copy !req
170. Whatever. I'll be at Moe's.
Copy !req
171. This is so exciting, Homie!
Your first restaurant review!
Copy !req
172. Marge. Shh!
Copy !req
173. It's important that no one
knows that I'm a food critic.
Copy !req
174. Hear that, Maude?
Homer's a critic!
Copy !req
175. Homer's a critic. Pass it on.
Copy !req
176. Did you hear? Homer's a critic.
Copy !req
177. Quit changing the subject!
Copy !req
178. Where is Uter?
Copy !req
179. Oh! We just want closure.
Copy !req
180. Arr! Here you are.
Copy !req
181. One critic's special.
Copy !req
182. Er, if anything appears
to be movin',
Copy !req
183. that's just freshness. Arr.
Copy !req
184. Can you believe it, Marge?
Copy !req
185. This job is the greatest.
Copy !req
186. They're paying me to eat!
Copy !req
187. Yeah. Now if you could
just get somebody
Copy !req
188. to pay you
for scratching your butt,
Copy !req
189. we'll be on easy street.
Copy !req
190. Why, you little...
Copy !req
191. Wow! My first published
article, whew,
Copy !req
192. although someone else's
name is on it.
Copy !req
193. He-he. Welcome
to the humiliating world
Copy !req
194. of professional writing.
Copy !req
195. But this is only the beginning.
Copy !req
196. Welcome to Planet Springfield!
Copy !req
197. The restaurant owned
by me, Chuck Norris,
Copy !req
198. Johnny Carson's third wife
and the Russian mafia.
Copy !req
199. Each Planet Springfield
Copy !req
200. is filled with priceless
Hollywood gewgaws.
Copy !req
201. There's the coffee mug
Copy !req
202. from Heartbeeps!
Copy !req
203. And there's the cane
Copy !req
204. from Citizen Kane!
Copy !req
205. Wait a minute.
There was no cane
Copy !req
206. in Citizen Kane.
Copy !req
207. And there's that awful script
Copy !req
208. from The Cable Guy.
Copy !req
209. Lemme see. Stupid script!
Copy !req
210. Nearly wrecked
Jim Carrey's career!
Copy !req
211. You...
Copy !req
212. I'm gonna... what?
Copy !req
213. The food is exquisite!
Copy !req
214. And the view is... beautiful...
Copy !req
215. inspirational...
Copy !req
216. nauseating.
Copy !req
217. Hey, Homer! Great call
on that chicken place!
Copy !req
218. And on that rib place!
Copy !req
219. I never knew
everything was so good!
Copy !req
220. Look, Marge.
I'm making a difference
Copy !req
221. in people's lives.
Copy !req
222. Yes, Simpson, your love
of food is contagious.
Copy !req
223. I've never felt jollier.
Copy !req
224. There go my shin bones again.
Copy !req
225. Hey, Homer! Come here.
Copy !req
226. Are you gonna fire me
Copy !req
227. for swiping office supplies?
Copy !req
228. No.
Copy !req
229. Some of your fellow critics
wanted to meet you.
Copy !req
230. This is Garth Trelawney, TV critic.
Copy !req
231. Why, you... you made them
cancel Platypus Man...
Copy !req
232. Homer!
Copy !req
233. This is our theater critic,
Copy !req
234. Daphne Beaumont.
Copy !req
235. and the Cosby Mysteries!
Copy !req
236. That show had
limitless possibilities!
Copy !req
237. - Homer, please!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
238. Jamie Killday,
farm supply critic.
Copy !req
239. Just got back from
the Gopher Poison show
Copy !req
240. in Paris. Let me tell you
something, people.
Copy !req
241. The days of clubbing them
with a baseball bat are over!
Copy !req
242. For you, perhaps.
Copy !req
243. Listen, we've been meaning
to have a talk
Copy !req
244. with you about your reviews.
Copy !req
245. Everything's a rave!
Nine thumbs up?
Copy !req
246. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
247. I've given out my share
of bad reviews.
Copy !req
248. Oh! The only bad review
you gave was
Copy !req
249. to a slice of pizza
you found under the couch.
Copy !req
250. It lost some points
'cause it had a hot wheel on it.
Copy !req
251. Oh, good Lord, man.
You're a critic!
Copy !req
252. You don't have to like
everything,
Copy !req
253. e.g., my latest review.
Copy !req
254. "We see John Deere has come out
Copy !req
255. with this year's
line of rototillers.
Copy !req
256. Surprise, surprise,
they're green!
Copy !req
257. I say it's time to send
John Deere a 'Dear John."'
Copy !req
258. - Oh, that's classic!
- You don't have to patronize me.
Copy !req
259. Aaa... okay.
Copy !req
260. Lord, thy daughters...
Copy !req
261. Goneril, Regan and Cordelia.
Copy !req
262. What is this, merry old England
or petticoat junction?
Copy !req
263. Hey! Lighten up. It's a comedy.
Copy !req
264. - No, it's not.
- It's not?
Copy !req
265. Hmm. This pea soup
is as weak as the acting
Copy !req
266. and nowhere near as hammy.
Copy !req
267. Dad! That's so mean!
Copy !req
268. The other critics
told me to be mean,
Copy !req
269. and you should always
give in to peer pressure.
Copy !req
270. But what if someone bad
tells me to...
Copy !req
271. Always!
Copy !req
272. Whoa! This material stinks!
Copy !req
273. I'm gonna have to punch it up
on the fly.
Copy !req
274. Oh, I got one!
How do you make a King Lear?
Copy !req
275. Put the queen in a bikini!
Copy !req
276. Here's another one.
Knock, knock. Who's there?
Copy !req
277. "Juliet."Juliet who?"
Copy !req
278. Juliet so much pasta fazool,
Copy !req
279. Romeo doesn't want her anymore!
Copy !req
280. Whoa, tough crowd!
They're booing Shakespeare!
Copy !req
281. Uh, not bad...
Copy !req
282. if lasagna is Italian
for "pile of puke"!
Copy !req
283. Aah! I chopp-a you good!
Copy !req
284. Well, I hope you cut me better
Copy !req
285. than you did
these string beans.
Copy !req
286. Hmm. I seem to be missing
a piece of my ear. Touché.
Copy !req
287. Who wants pork chops?
Copy !req
288. Sorry, Marge.
Copy !req
289. I'm afraid this gets my lowest
Copy !req
290. rating ever! Seven thumbs up.
Copy !req
291. You always liked my pork chops.
Copy !req
292. Marge, I'm sorry,
but your cooking's
Copy !req
293. only got two moves...
Copy !req
294. shake and bake.
Copy !req
295. You like shake 'n bake!
Copy !req
296. You used to put
it in your coffee!
Copy !req
297. People change, Marge.
Copy !req
298. My palate has grown
more sophisticated.
Copy !req
299. Oh, yeah? What's a palate?
Copy !req
300. Oh, it's a...
Copy !req
301. special time
in a boy's life when...
Copy !req
302. Gotta go!
Copy !req
303. So come to The Legless Frog...
Copy !req
304. if you want to get sick and die
Copy !req
305. and leave
a big, garlicky corpse!
Copy !req
306. P.S., parking was ample.
Copy !req
307. Dad, you're being cruel for no reason.
What will people think?
Copy !req
308. People will think
what I tell them to think,
Copy !req
309. when you tell me
what to tell them to think.
Copy !req
310. Not anymore.
I don't want to be partners
Copy !req
311. with a man
who thinks like that.
Copy !req
312. Nobody talks to me that way!
I'm Homer Simpson,
Copy !req
313. the most powerful food critic in town,
Copy !req
314. who will never
get his comeuppance!
Copy !req
315. You hear me?
No comeuppance!
Copy !req
316. We'll be right back.
Copy !req
317. I don't need Lisa
to write a good review.
Copy !req
318. The food at
The Gilded Truffle really...
Copy !req
319. uh-what's a good word?
Copy !req
320. Sucks! That's great!
Copy !req
321. And the bread was really...
Copy !req
322. Come on!
Help me out here!
Copy !req
323. - Ruff!
- Rough?
Copy !req
324. I don't know. You've been
pitchin' that all night.
Copy !req
325. - Chewy?
- Chewy!
Copy !req
326. That's inspired!
Copy !req
327. Homer, what gives
with this review?
Copy !req
328. You say "the salad
tastes like bark"
Copy !req
329. and the potatoes
were very "grrrrr!"
Copy !req
330. This reads like
it was written by a dog.
Copy !req
331. Are you crazy?
A dog can't type.
Copy !req
332. Unfortunately.
Copy !req
333. Listen, you gotta shape up!
Next week
Copy !req
334. is the Taste of Springfield festival.
Copy !req
335. You'll be reviewing
every restaurant in town.
Copy !req
336. Remember,
people have certain expectations
Copy !req
337. about the "Life Ways" section.
Copy !req
338. Really? Like what?
Copy !req
339. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
340. Astrology, Broom-Hilda,
vacation horror stories,
Copy !req
341. articles about
chronic fatigue syndrome...
Copy !req
342. you know, chick crap.
Copy !req
343. Homer, he's outta control.
He gave me a bad review!
Copy !req
344. So, my friend
put a horse head on his bed.
Copy !req
345. He ate the head
and gave it a bad review!
Copy !req
346. True story.
Copy !req
347. Arr, well, I've had it with Homer!
Copy !req
348. His bad reviews
are sinkin' our businesses.
Copy !req
349. Then, why did you put yours
in the window?
Copy !req
350. Arr, it covered up the "D"
from the health inspector.
Copy !req
351. Well, I say we ban Homer
from our restaurants.
Copy !req
352. No. That would be impolite.
Copy !req
353. I say we kill him!
Copy !req
354. Now, hold on a minute.
Copy !req
355. Are we restauranteurs,
or are we murderers?
Copy !req
356. Does that answer your question?
Copy !req
357. We'll kill him at
The Taste of Springfield festival.
Copy !req
358. We'll give Homer
all he can eat,
Copy !req
359. till he can eat no more.
Copy !req
360. Then, he'll get
his just dessert.
Copy !req
361. This will be Homer Simpson's
last lagniappe.
Copy !req
362. Come on!
You're gonna kill him with a pastry?
Copy !req
363. I've seen this man
eat a bowl of change.
Copy !req
364. This eclair has
over one million calories.
Copy !req
365. Twenty-five pounds of butter
per square inch.
Copy !req
366. Covered with chocolate
Copy !req
367. so dark, light cannot escape
its surface.
Copy !req
368. No, no, no!
Copy !req
369. This is just a picture.
Copy !req
370. But Homer Simpson
will find the real thing
Copy !req
371. both delicious and deadly.
Copy !req
372. Ah, yes! Death by chocolate.
Copy !req
373. And poison.
I'll stick in some poison.
Copy !req
374. Homie, my woman's intuition's acting u.
Copy !req
375. Something bad's going to happen
if you go in there.
Copy !req
376. Oh, Marge, something bad
usually happens to me
Copy !req
377. when I go in anywhere.
Copy !req
378. A bat. Now, that's a new one!
Copy !req
379. So what are you up to,
young lady?
Copy !req
380. I'm reviewing the festival
for our school paper.
Copy !req
381. Oh. Well, I'm glad to see
my ex-partner
Copy !req
382. is doing so well without me.
Copy !req
383. Pedestrian.
Copy !req
384. Uninspired.
Copy !req
385. I didn't say stop.
Copy !req
386. Lard ho!
Copy !req
387. Arr, 'tis a good sign.
Copy !req
388. Homer's unfastened
the top button on his pants.
Copy !req

402. Only your father could take
a part-time job
Copy !req
403. at a small-town paper
and wind up

of international assassins.
Copy !req
405. We can find him faster
