1. The Simpsons.
Copy !req
2. Here you go, boy. Soup's on.
Copy !req
3. Whoa!
Copy !req
4. Hey, if you're out here,
Copy !req
5. then who's in there?
Copy !req
6. Whoa! A badger!
Copy !req
7. Sorry, man. You can't crash here.
Copy !req
8. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
9. Well, boy, looks like
Copy !req
10. you got yourself a roommate.
Copy !req
11. Come on, Lise. There's got to be a way
Copy !req
12. to lure that badger out.
Copy !req
13. Well, according to whatbadgerseat.com,
Copy !req
14. "Badgers subsist primarily
Copy !req
15. on a diet of stoats, voles, and marmots."
Copy !req
16. Hmm, stoats, stoats...
Copy !req
17. Stoats are weasels, Bart.
Copy !req
18. They don't come in cans.
Copy !req
19. Then what's this?
Copy !req
20. That says "corn," Bart.
Copy !req
21. Must you embarrass me?
Copy !req
22. Here we are,
Copy !req
23. "In a pinch, badgers have even
been known to eat woodpeckers."
Copy !req
24. Perfect! Hey, Todd,
Copy !req
25. can we borrow your woodpecker?
Copy !req
26. I guess so.
Copy !req
27. But we need him back by 6:00.
Copy !req
28. It's his birthday.
Copy !req
29. OK.
Copy !req
30. Television broken?
Copy !req
31. No, there's a badger in there.
Copy !req
32. Badger, my ass!
Copy !req
33. It's probably Milhouse.
Copy !req
34. Milhouse... Milhouse...
Copy !req
35. It's a badger, all right.
Copy !req
36. Or possibly a griffin.
Copy !req
37. Bart, do you have
any dynamite in your room?
Copy !req
38. - Tons.
- Get it.
Copy !req
39. No, Dad, we don't want to kill him.
Copy !req
40. Let's call animal control.
Copy !req
41. Great idea.
Copy !req
42. Then we should
call a doctor about this.
Copy !req
43. How did the badger do that
without ripping your shirt?
Copy !req
44. What am I, a tailor?
Copy !req
45. Your call
cannot be completed as dialed.
Copy !req
46. Please make sure you have
the correct area code.
Copy !req
47. Area code? But it's a local call!
Copy !req
48. The phone company ran out of numbers,
Copy !req
49. so they split the city
into two area codes.
Copy !req
50. Half the town
keeps the old 636 area code,
Copy !req
51. and our half gets 939.
Copy !req
52. 939? What the hell is that?
Copy !req
53. Oh, my life is ruined!
Copy !req
54. Jeez, you just have to remember
three extra numbers.
Copy !req
55. Oh, if only it were that easy, Marge.
Copy !req
56. Go away!
Copy !req
57. We got bigger problems now!
Copy !req
58. I'm not going to stand for this.
Copy !req
59. I'm going to call
the newspapers, the TV stations,
Copy !req
60. the gas stations, everybody!
Copy !req
61. I hate this new area code.
Copy !req
62. Like I don't have enough
to remember already.
Copy !req
63. Is that right?
Copy !req
64. Don't you miss the old 636... Carl?
Copy !req
65. I'm not sure which one's better.
Copy !req
66. The six is closer to the three,
Copy !req
67. so you got convenience there,
Copy !req
68. But the nine
has less to do with Satan,
Copy !req
69. which is a plus
in this religious world of ours.
Copy !req
70. What really burns me up
Copy !req
71. is they didn't give us
one word of warning.
Copy !req
72. What do you mean?
Copy !req
73. They ran those TV commercials about it
Copy !req
74. and that big radio campaign.
Copy !req
75. Don't forget the leaflets they dropped
Copy !req
76. from the space shuttle
Copy !req
77. and the two weeks we all spent
at area code camp.
Copy !req
78. Not a single word of warning.
Copy !req
79. And traffic's
all backed up
Copy !req
80. due to a mattress on the freeway.
Copy !req
81. A mattress? Uh-oh!
Copy !req
82. Joan Collins must be in town.
Copy !req
83. Oh, behave!
Copy !req
84. Joan Collins!
Copy !req
85. That girl sleeps with everybody!
Copy !req
86. OK, time to give away
Copy !req
87. free concert tickets.
Copy !req
88. What you talkin' about?
Copy !req
89. Whoa-ho. What we're
talkin' about, Gary,
Copy !req
90. is The Who!
Copy !req
91. We're giving away tickets
to next week's concert
Copy !req
92. at Springfield's historic.
Copy !req
93. Yahoo search engine arena!
Copy !req
94. The Who?
Copy !req
95. I love bands!
Copy !req
96. And now, we'll dial
our big winner at random.
Copy !req
97. Dialing at random!
Copy !req
98. OK, let's start
with five, five, five...
Copy !req
99. zero, one, one...
Copy !req
100. - Huh...
- ... and three!
Copy !req
101. That's my number!
Copy !req
102. Ahoy, hoy.
Copy !req
103. Hey... that's not me.
Copy !req
104. Dad, we're not
in their area code anymore.
Copy !req
105. Congratulations, you're gonna
Copy !req
106. rendezvous with The Who!
Copy !req
107. Oh, it's not fair!
Copy !req
108. I've been a fan of The Who
since the very beginning
Copy !req
109. when they were
The Hillbilly Bugger Boys.
Copy !req
110. You should call that radio
station and let 'em have it.
Copy !req
111. Good idea!
Copy !req
112. Why, you little...
Copy !req
113. I know that some of you are upset
Copy !req
114. about the area code change
Copy !req
115. especially those of you
covered with dynamite.
Copy !req
116. First, let me reassure you
Copy !req
117. your fears are groundless
Copy !req
118. and your complaints, moronic.
Copy !req
119. That's good.
Copy !req
120. This film will explain
everything to you
Copy !req
121. in words that you can understand.
Copy !req
122. Hi, I'm Phoney McRingring,
Copy !req
123. mascot and president
of the telephone company
Copy !req
124. and I'm here to explain
Copy !req
125. why the convenience
of one area code in...
Copy !req
126. Your town.
Copy !req
127. has been replaced
by the convenience
Copy !req
128. of two area codes.
Copy !req
129. Uh, I have a question, Phoney...
Copy !req
130. It's a movie, Dad.
Copy !req
131. Quiet, honey, daddy's asking
the man a question.
Copy !req
132. You're probably thinking,
Copy !req
133. "Sure, more area codes are great
Copy !req
134. and I don't mind paying
the extra hidden fees,
Copy !req
135. but how will I remember
all those numbers?"
Copy !req
136. Whoa!
Copy !req
137. Well, scientists have discovered
Copy !req
138. that even monkeys
can memorize ten numbers.
Copy !req
139. Are you stupider than a monkey?
Copy !req
140. How big of a monkey?
Copy !req
141. Of course you're not.
Copy !req
142. Well, I'm convinced.
Copy !req
143. A professional-looking film
like that has got to be right.
Copy !req
144. I agree. Two area codes
is more convenient.
Copy !req
145. - I like it.
- Wait a minute,
Copy !req
146. we haven't heard from me yet,
Copy !req
147. the nut with the dynamite!
Copy !req
148. The phone company
is bamboozling you.
Copy !req
149. I accuse the phone company
Copy !req
150. of making that film on purpose.
Copy !req
151. Well, of course we did.
Copy !req
152. Now, I'm not one to make trouble,
Copy !req
153. but it seems to me that everyone
Copy !req
154. who got to keep the old,
Copy !req
155. or classic 636 area code,
Copy !req
156. lives on the rich side of town!
Copy !req
157. Ooh, poppycock.
Copy !req
158. I never!
Copy !req
159. And, as usual,
Copy !req
160. we Joe 12-packs
Copy !req
161. get the royal screw job.
Copy !req
162. Homer's right!
Copy !req
163. We're getting the Joan Collins special.
Copy !req
164. Well, I've had it!
Copy !req
165. You rich snobs aren't
pushing us around any more!
Copy !req
166. And what are you pathetic slobs
going to do about it?
Copy !req
167. Well, I...
Copy !req
168. Oh, nice wiring, Bart.
Copy !req
169. It worked on the test corpse.
Copy !req
170. OK, plan B.
Copy !req
171. Fellow 939-ers,
Copy !req
172. I say we break off
and form our own city!
Copy !req
173. - Yes!
- We're with you, Homer!
Copy !req
174. Come on! Let's go!
Copy !req
175. Viva la revolucian!
Copy !req
176. No, who's stupid.
Copy !req
177. There, we're officially a city.
Copy !req
178. Now we just sit back
and wait for an NFL franchise.
Copy !req
179. Say, I couldn't help but overhear.
Copy !req
180. I represent the Arizona cardinals...
Copy !req
181. Keep walking.
Copy !req
182. Good decision there, Homer.
Copy !req
183. You showed a lot of poise.
Copy !req
184. Yeah, maybe you ought
to be mayor of New Springfield.
Copy !req
185. Mayor, eh?
Copy !req
186. The Mayor.
Copy !req
187. Starring Homer Simpson.
Copy !req
188. I reluctantly accept
Copy !req
189. this highly-paid glamorous job.
Copy !req
190. Presenting our new plaque.
Copy !req
191. I say the time for bitterness
has passed.
Copy !req
192. Let us extend to our brothers
in New Springfield
Copy !req
193. the olive branch of...
Copy !req
194. New Springfield rocks!
Copy !req
195. Go ahead and laugh.
Copy !req
196. We have a better town bird.
Copy !req
197. Oh, yeah? What is it?
Copy !req
198. The bluebird.
Copy !req
199. - Damn it.
- More wheatcakes, Mr. Mayor?
Copy !req
200. Read my lips... Yes.
Copy !req
201. Dad, you got syrup on your sash.
Copy !req
202. No problem.
Copy !req
203. If you ask me...
Copy !req
204. Stop right there.
Copy !req
205. It's stupid to divide the city
Copy !req
206. over something
as silly as an area code.
Copy !req
207. It'd be like
you and Mom splitting up
Copy !req
208. every time you have a fight.
Copy !req
209. Sweetie, you know your mother and I
Copy !req
210. only stay together
Copy !req
211. for the sake of my political career.
Copy !req
212. That's not true.
Copy !req
213. Big grins.
Copy !req
214. Mwah!
Copy !req
215. That'll play great in the sticks.
Copy !req
216. Oh, that was 50 already?
Copy !req
217. Go long!
Copy !req
218. Hey, look what I found,
Copy !req
219. a novelty flying disc.
Copy !req
220. Give it back.
Copy !req
221. That's my novelty flying disc.
Copy !req
222. You're in Olde Springfield now.
Copy !req
223. Everything on this side
of the park belongs to us.
Copy !req
224. Hey, his pants are in our park, too.
Copy !req
225. Get him!
Copy !req
226. My homework is in your park.
Copy !req
227. Let's do it!
Copy !req
228. Yoink!
Copy !req
229. What's does freedom mean to me?
Copy !req
230. All right, root beer, bananas
Copy !req
231. and toilet paper.
Copy !req
232. 50% out-of-towners' tax.
Copy !req
233. Out-of-towner tax?
Copy !req
234. I'm sorry, Mrs. Simpson,
Copy !req
235. but we have to charge
you foreign devils more.
Copy !req
236. All right, but this better be
Copy !req
237. the best toilet paper I've ever had.
Copy !req
238. Oh, no worries there.
Copy !req
239. That's Henderson's toilet paper.
Copy !req
240. Oh, why didn't you say so?
Copy !req
241. Hey, is there a bathroom here?
Copy !req
242. Not for you.
Copy !req
243. I don't know why,
Copy !req
244. but I just didn't feel comfortable
Copy !req
245. until I was back here
in New Springfield
Copy !req
246. with my own kind.
Copy !req
247. Mom!
Copy !req
248. They were looking at me
Copy !req
249. with their eyes.
Copy !req
250. As expected, New Springfield's
bold experiment
Copy !req
251. in slob rule is a disaster.
Copy !req
252. Hey, the TV man is talking about us.
Copy !req
253. A study shows
their crumbling economy
Copy !req
254. is due to their lazy attitude
and shoddy work.
Copy !req
255. How the hell did they find that out?
Copy !req
256. Scientists say they're also
Copy !req
257. less attractive physically
Copy !req
258. and while we speak
in a well-educated manner,
Copy !req
259. they tend to use low-brow
expressions like,
Copy !req
260. "Oh, yeah?"
and "Come here a minute."
Copy !req
261. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
262. They think
they're better than us, huh?
Copy !req
263. Bart, come here a minute.
Copy !req
264. - You come here a minute.
- Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
265. Dad, I don't think
this is such a good idea.
Copy !req
266. Thank you, Marge.
Copy !req
267. Now, let's see how Olde Snubfield does
Copy !req
268. without electricity.
Copy !req
269. Woo-hoo!
Copy !req
270. Oh, no, you can't do
heart surgery in the dark.
Copy !req
271. Sounds like a wager to me.
Copy !req
272. I'll take a piece of that.
Copy !req
273. I will now transport Sir Isaac Newton
Copy !req
274. into the modern day.
Copy !req
275. Warning,
power failure.
Copy !req
276. Aha. Ow, ow. Sweet Glayvin.
Copy !req
277. Oh, good god.
Hey! Watch it! Now, watch it!
Copy !req
278. Sir Isaac's legs are hurting.
Copy !req
279. In retaliation
for the power outage,
Copy !req
280. Olde Springfield patriots
Copy !req
281. have intercepted a beer truck
Copy !req
282. bound for New Springfield
Copy !req
283. and dumped all the beer in the river.
Copy !req
284. Those rich, snobby Indians.
Copy !req
285. Oh, there's nothing like revenge
Copy !req
286. for getting back at people.
Copy !req
287. I don't know, vengeance is pretty good.
Copy !req
288. Whoo-hoo, flush the water.
Copy !req
289. They got us now.
Copy !req
290. Without water, we're doomed.
Copy !req
291. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
292. What's that gold-colored
substance in the riverbed?
Copy !req
293. Why that's gold.
Copy !req
294. We're slightly richer.
Copy !req
295. Eureka!
Copy !req
296. With the money made from the gold,
Copy !req
297. Olde Springfield was able to buy
Copy !req
298. the Evian water factory
Copy !req
299. and fly it over here from France.
Copy !req
300. Thanks, Mayor Simpson.
Copy !req
301. Because of you, we're all
taking golden showers.
Copy !req
302. What?
Copy !req
303. We can't go on fighting
with Olde Springfield.
Copy !req
304. These people are our neighbors.
Copy !req
305. We see them every day.
Copy !req
306. You're right.
Copy !req
307. We've got to block them
from our sight
Copy !req
308. with a giant wall.
Copy !req
309. Like the one in Berlin?
Copy !req
310. Good idea.
Copy !req
311. We should call the guys
they used.
Copy !req
312. Homer.
Copy !req
313. It's ringing.
Copy !req
314. And I'd like to thank
Low Ball Construction
Copy !req
315. for building this amazing wall
Copy !req
316. from 90% recycled material.
Copy !req
317. - I'm so conflicted.
- About what?
Copy !req
318. Loyal citizens of New Springfield,
Copy !req
319. you stayed on my side of town
Copy !req
320. despite a total lack
of hospitals and schools
Copy !req
321. and a sewage nightmare
Copy !req
322. that threatens to consume us all.
Copy !req
323. How do we get our food?
Copy !req
324. All the roads are blocked.
Copy !req
325. Don't worry.
Copy !req
326. We have plenty of supplies
to get through tomorrow.
Copy !req
327. And then a wave of disease
should help to...
Copy !req
328. Hey!
Copy !req
329. Stop streaming over the wall!
Copy !req
330. At least wait till I'm through talking.
Copy !req
331. OK, now, as for food,
Copy !req
332. the following breeds of dog are edible.
Copy !req
333. - See ya!
- Bye, Homer!
Copy !req
334. Oh! I can't believe
Copy !req
335. all those rats fled my town.
Copy !req
336. I guess it's just us
and the tumbleweeds.
Copy !req
337. Well, Dad,
Copy !req
338. you're mayor of a ghost town.
Copy !req
339. Oh, I can't believe
Copy !req
340. those traitors abandoned us.
Copy !req
341. They couldn't take one lousy famine.
Copy !req
342. Dad, you're bleeding.
Copy !req
343. No problem.
Copy !req
344. Anyhow, those rats
will come crawling back.
Copy !req
345. We've got The Who playing here tonight.
Copy !req
346. Dad, the arena's in Olde Springfield.
Copy !req
347. Don't give up, Dad.
Copy !req
348. Maybe we can get The Who
to play here, instead.
Copy !req
349. Hey, maybe we could.
Copy !req
350. But we'll need some liquid persuasion.
Copy !req
351. Come on, Bart. We're going
to bring back The Who.
Copy !req
352. - Ohh...
- Can I help you?
Copy !req
353. Dad, the chloroform.
Copy !req
354. Oh, right.
Copy !req
355. I'll give you this bottle
of chloroform
Copy !req
356. if you'll take us to The Who.
Copy !req
357. Oh, so you want to see
The Who, huh?
Copy !req
358. Well, I'll take you to The Who.
Copy !req
359. Here's your Who!
Copy !req
360. I thought we fired that guard.
Copy !req
361. Oh, yeah, right.
I got fired by The Who.
Copy !req
362. Whatever you say, pal.
Copy !req
363. Wacko.
Copy !req
364. Wow, The Who!
Copy !req
365. Whoo!
Copy !req
366. Rock and roll!
Copy !req
367. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
368. Duh.
Copy !req
369. Trashing the hotel room.
Copy !req
370. But we promised
the desk clerk we'd be good.
Copy !req
371. Yeah, we don't want to lose
our pool privileges.
Copy !req
372. Whatever.
Copy !req
373. The point is, I'm Homer Simpson.
Copy !req
374. The mayor of New Springfield?
Copy !req
375. That's right.
Copy !req
376. The crazy mayor of New Springfield?
Copy !req
377. That's right.
Copy !req
378. And I implore you to move
your concert to our town.
Copy !req
379. Don't play Olde Springfield.
Copy !req
380. Or, as it is sometimes known, Sun City.
Copy !req
381. But we have a handshake agreement
Copy !req
382. with a concert promoter
Copy !req
383. and that's a sacred bond.
Copy !req
384. Sacred bond.
Copy !req
385. Come on, what happened
to the angry, defiant Who
Copy !req
386. of "My generation,"
"Won't get fooled again"
Copy !req
387. and "Mama's got a squeeze box"?
Copy !req
388. We know our songs, Homer.
Copy !req
389. But those Olde Springfield squares
Copy !req
390. are just going to make you
cut your hair,
Copy !req
391. turn down your music,
Copy !req
392. and wear frilly shirts
like Keith Partridge.
Copy !req
393. Keith Partridge?
Copy !req
394. Who huddle.
Copy !req
395. We'll do it.
Copy !req
396. Yeah!
Copy !req
397. Just send a cab for us.
Copy !req
398. Why, is something wrong with your legs?
Copy !req
399. You're right. The walk will do us good.
Copy !req
400. I opened for The Who at Woodstock.
Copy !req
401. I came out in a Beatle wig
with a ukulele.
Copy !req
402. Hendrix said he almost plotzed.
Copy !req
403. His exact words.
Copy !req
404. Oh, I never tire of that story.
Copy !req
405. Smithers, why did you iron
Copy !req
406. a crease in these dungarees?
Copy !req
407. I look like a square.
Copy !req
408. Uh, that crease is in your leg, sir.
Copy !req
409. Oh, so it is.
Copy !req
410. Yes...
Copy !req
411. Hmm, it's not like The Who to be tardy.
Copy !req
412. I'm worried.
Copy !req
413. What's that?
Copy !req
414. Argh! 'Tis The Who!
Copy !req
415. By my reckoning,
Copy !req
416. they're in the scurvy depths
of New Springfield.
Copy !req
417. Homer stole our rock performance.

421. I won't get to get
what I'm after.
Copy !req
422. Till the day I die.
Copy !req
423. How you doing out there,
New Springfield?
Copy !req
424. To be honest, it's a little chilly...
Copy !req
425. Get out of the way, Marge.
Copy !req
426. We were expecting
a bigger crowd, Homer.
Copy !req
427. Oh, don't worry, they'll be here soon
Copy !req
428. and then they'll see
who's got the better town.
Copy !req
429. Now, these are the tunes
I want you boys to play.
Copy !req
430. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
431. Homer, a lot of these
Copy !req
432. are grand funk railroad songs.
Copy !req
433. And we don't know "Pacman fever."
Copy !req
434. Oh, come on, it plays itself.
Copy !req
435. A Pacman fever.
Copy !req
436. A doodle-ee-do.
Copy !req
437. It's a-drivin' me

Copy !req
441. looking pretty good now, isn't it?
Copy !req
442. With our ample parking
Copy !req
443. and daily Who concerts.
Copy !req
444. - Daily?

Copy !req
445. Yeah, all right, enough chitchat.

Copy !req
448. You'll have to do bet...
Copy !req
449. Ow! Oh, why me?
Copy !req
450. People, please.
Copy !req
451. What's all this fighting about?
Copy !req
452. Apparently, they have
two different area codes.
Copy !req
453. Well, I'll be chuggered.
Copy !req
454. That's a sticky wicket.
Copy !req
455. Why not just buy telephones
Copy !req
456. with auto ring-up?
Copy !req
457. Or, as you yanks call it,
"speed-dial."
Copy !req
458. Radio shack has some great ones.
Copy !req
459. Ah, says you.

Copy !req
467. I'll tip my hat
to the new constitution.
Copy !req
468. Take a bow...
Copy !req
469. Well, Marge,
Copy !req
470. looks like
your insane experiment is over.
Copy !req
471. My experiment?
Copy !req
472. You're the one who came up
with this whole idea...
Copy !req
473. Just like yesterday.
Copy !req
474. Then I get on my knees.
Copy !req
475. And pray.
Copy !req
476. Yeah!
Copy !req
477. Meet the new boss.
Copy !req
478. Same as the old boss.
