1. Come on, Mom.
Copy !req
2. Yeah, Mom.
Hurry up.
Copy !req
3. All right.
How about "he"?
Copy !req
4. Two points.
Your turn, dear.
Copy !req
5. How could anyone make a word
out of these lousy letters?
Copy !req
6. Wait.
Here's a good one. "Do."
Copy !req
7. "Id."
Triple word score.
Copy !req
8. Hey, no abbreviations.
Copy !req
9. Not I.D., Dad. "Id." It's a word.
Copy !req
10. As in,
"This game is stup-id."
Copy !req
11. Hey, shut up, boy.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, Bart. You're supposed to be
developing verbal abilities
Copy !req
13. for your big aptitude test
tomorrow.
Copy !req
14. We could look this "id" thing
up in the dictionary.
Copy !req
15. We got one?
Copy !req
16. I think it's under
the short leg of the couch.
Copy !req
17. "Id: Along with the ego
and the superego,
Copy !req
18. one of three components
of the psyche."
Copy !req
19. - Get outta here.
- My turn. "Kwyjibo."
Copy !req
20. K-W-Y-J-I-B-O.
Copy !req
21. Twenty-two points,
plus triple word score,
Copy !req
22. plus 50 points for using
all my letters.
Copy !req
23. Game's over. I'm outta here.
Copy !req
24. Wait a minute,
you little cheater.
Copy !req
25. You're not going anywhere
Copy !req
26. until you tell me
what a "kwyjibo" is.
Copy !req
27. "Kwyjibo." -
Copy !req
28. A big, dumb, balding,
Copy !req
29. North American ape with no chin.
Copy !req
30. And a short temper.
Copy !req
31. I'll show you a big,
dumb, balding ape!
Copy !req
32. Kwyjibo on the loose.
Copy !req
33. You there. No chewing gum
on school grounds.
Copy !req
34. In the trash can with it.
Copy !req
35. Principal Skinner,
Copy !req
36. one of my fellow children
is vandalizing school property.
Copy !req
37. Where?
Copy !req
38. Over there, sir. See?
Copy !req
39. Look out, Bart.
Here comes Skinner.
Copy !req
40. Yikes!
Copy !req
41. Whoever did this
is in very deep trouble.
Copy !req
42. And a sloppy speller, too.
Copy !req
43. The preferred spelling
of "wiener" is w-i-e-n-e-r,
Copy !req
44. although "e-i"
is an acceptable ethnic variant.
Copy !req
45. Good point.
Boys, let's see your hands.
Copy !req
46. Good. Okay.
Simpson?
Copy !req
47. You might say you
caught him red-handed.
Copy !req
48. Simpson, you and I are going
to have a little talk.
Copy !req
49. Same time, same place?
Copy !req
50. Yes. In my office
after school.
Copy !req
51. Ooh!
Copy !req
52. Bart, I hope you won't bear some sort of
simpleminded grudge against me.
Copy !req
53. I was merely trying to fend off
the desecration of the school building.
Copy !req
54. - Eat my shorts.
- Pardon?
Copy !req
55. Now, I don't want you
to worry, class.
Copy !req
56. These tests will have
no effect on your grades.
Copy !req
57. They merely determine
your future social status
Copy !req
58. and financial success. If any.
Copy !req
59. Mrs. Krabappel, isn't Bart
supposed to face the window
Copy !req
60. so he won't be tempted to look
at his neighbor's paper?
Copy !req
61. You're right, Martin. Bart?
Copy !req
62. Remember to visualize
the complex problems, and relax.
Copy !req
63. The test will start... now!
Copy !req
64. "At 7:30 a.m.,
Copy !req
65. "an express train traveling
60 miles an hour
Copy !req
66. leaves Santa Fe bound for Phoenix,
520 miles away."
Copy !req
67. Shh! Visualize it, Bart.
Copy !req
68. "At the same time,
Copy !req
69. "a local train traveling
30 miles an hour
Copy !req
70. "and carrying 40 passengers
Copy !req
71. "leaves Phoenix bound
for Santa Fe.
Copy !req
72. "It's eight cars long
and always carries
Copy !req
73. "the same number
of passengers in each car.
Copy !req
74. "An hour later,
a number of passengers
Copy !req
75. "equal to half the number
of minutes past the hour get off,
Copy !req
76. "but three times as many
plus six get on.
Copy !req
77. "At the second stop,
Copy !req
78. "half the passengers
plus two get off,
Copy !req
79. but twice as many get on as got on
at the first stop."
Copy !req
80. Oof!
Copy !req
81. - Ticket, please.
- I don't have a ticket.
Copy !req
82. Come with me, boy.
Copy !req
83. - We've got a stowaway, sir.
- I'll pay. How much?
Copy !req
84. Twice the fare
from Tucson to Flagstaff
Copy !req
85. minus two-thirds of the fare
from Albuquerque to El Paso.
Copy !req
86. Whoa!
Copy !req
87. Bart, there are students
in this class with a chance to do well.
Copy !req
88. Will you stop bothering them?
Copy !req
89. He's not bothering me,
Mrs. Krabappel. I'm finished.
Copy !req
90. May I go outside
and read under a tree?
Copy !req
91. Certainly, Martin.
Copy !req
92. What are you looking at, Bart?
Copy !req
93. Are those naughty dogs
back again?
Copy !req
94. You have 20 minutes, class.
Copy !req
95. He's a good boy now,
and he's getting better,
Copy !req
96. and sometimes even the best sheep
stray from the flock
Copy !req
97. and need to be hugged
extra hard.
Copy !req
98. That's exactly the kind of crapola
that's lousing him up.
Copy !req
99. Hey, look at this.
"I am a wiener."
Copy !req
100. He sure is.
Copy !req
101. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson are here.
Copy !req
102. Send them in.
Copy !req
103. Hello again, Principal Skinner.
Copy !req
104. What have you done
this time, boy?
Copy !req
105. I caught your son
defacing school property this morning.
Copy !req
106. We estimate the damage
at $75, and frankly,
Copy !req
107. we think it's terribly unfair that
other taxpayers should foot the bill.
Copy !req
108. Yeah, it's a crummy system,
but what are you gonna do?
Copy !req
109. No. He can't mean that.
Copy !req
110. My wife thinks you want me
to pay for it.
Copy !req
111. That was the idea.
Copy !req
112. By itself, something like this
might not call for an extreme penalty,
Copy !req
113. but this is not
an isolated incident.
Copy !req
114. Bart's behavior is unruly.
Copy !req
115. He's frequently absent
from school,
Copy !req
116. then gives teachers
pathetic excuse notes
Copy !req
117. that are obviously childish forgeries
when compared to...
Copy !req
118. Well, at any rate,
it is my reluctant decision...
Copy !req
119. Mr. Skinner, Dr. Pryor
is here to see you.
Copy !req
120. - He says it's urgent.
- Send him in.
Copy !req
121. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, this is
our district psychiatrist,
Copy !req
122. Dr. J. Loren Pryor.
Copy !req
123. What do we need
a psychiatrist for?
Copy !req
124. We know our kid is nuts.
Copy !req
125. On the contrary.
Copy !req
126. I have some very exciting
news for all of us.
Copy !req
127. This aptitude test
we administered this morning
Copy !req
128. has revealed that
the young Bart here
Copy !req
129. is what we call a "gifted child."
Copy !req
130. A what?
Copy !req
131. Your son is a genius,
Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
132. - Bart?
- This lunkhead?
Copy !req
133. - Impossible.
- No, no, we're quite certain.
Copy !req
134. The child is not supposed
to know his own IQ, of course,
Copy !req
135. but, you can see
it's beyond the range of any doubt.
Copy !req
136. 912!
Copy !req
137. No, you have it
upside down. It's 216.
Copy !req
138. That's still amazingly high.
Copy !req
139. Tell me, Bart,
are you ever bored in school?
Copy !req
140. You bet.
Copy !req
141. Ever feel a little frustrated?
Copy !req
142. All the time, sir.
Copy !req
143. Do you ever dream
of leaving your class...
Copy !req
144. to pursue your own
intellectual development
Copy !req
145. on an independent basis?
Copy !req
146. Wow! It's like you're
reading my mind, man.
Copy !req
147. You see, when a child
with Bart's intellect
Copy !req
148. is forced to slow down to the pace
of a normal person,
Copy !req
149. he's probably going to lash out
in ways like these.
Copy !req
150. I think we should retest him.
Copy !req
151. We should move him
to another school.
Copy !req
152. Ooh. Better yet.
Copy !req
153. Bart, we'd like you
to try a kind of school
Copy !req
154. that doesn't rely on grades and rules
and bells and buzzers.
Copy !req
155. A school without walls,
Copy !req
156. where you do as much
or as little of the assignments
Copy !req
157. as you feel you need to.
Copy !req
158. - Does that sound good, Bart?
- Sign me up, Doc.
Copy !req
159. Excellent. We're all set then.
Copy !req
160. Here's all the information
you need.
Copy !req
161. Show up around nine-ish.
Copy !req
162. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson,
congratulations once again.
Copy !req
163. I think we're all
in a mood to celebrate.
Copy !req
164. Doc, this is all too much.
Copy !req
165. I mean, my son a genius?
How does it happen?
Copy !req
166. Well, genius-level intelligence
Copy !req
167. is usually the result
of heredity and environment.
Copy !req
168. Although, in some cases,
it's a total mystery.
Copy !req
169. Aw, come on, Mom.
Copy !req
170. You look very intelligent, dear.
Copy !req
171. No way!
Copy !req
172. How about a tie, son?
Copy !req
173. Everybody knows
boy geniuses wear ties.
Copy !req
174. You're stifling
my creativity, Dad.
Copy !req
175. - Sorry, boy.
- Bart, this is a big day for you.
Copy !req
176. Why don't you eat something
a little more nutritious?
Copy !req
177. Nonsense, Marge.
Copy !req
178. Frosty Krusty Flakes are what
got him where he is today.
Copy !req
179. It could be one
of these chemicals here
Copy !req
180. that makes him so smart.
Copy !req
181. Lisa, maybe you should
try some of this.
Copy !req
182. Homer!
Copy !req
183. I'm just saying why not have
two geniuses in the family?
Copy !req
184. Sort of a spare, in case
Bart's brain blows up.
Copy !req
185. I don't care what that
stupid test says, Bart.
Copy !req
186. You're a dimwit.
Copy !req
187. Maybe so, but from now on,
Copy !req
188. this dimwit is on easy street.
Copy !req
189. No rush, Dad.
Take the scenic route.
Copy !req
190. Gotcha.
Copy !req
191. No. Ties.
Copy !req
192. Don't worry, son.
You can have mine.
Copy !req
193. Here. Let me show you
how to put on a tie.
Copy !req
194. The hook goes over the top
and these things go in there.
Copy !req
195. Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
196. You kissed me.
Copy !req
197. There's nothing wrong
Copy !req
198. with a father kissing
his son... I think.
Copy !req
199. Now go on, boy,
and pay attention.
Copy !req
200. Because if you do,
Copy !req
201. one day you may
achieve something
Copy !req
202. that we Simpsons have dreamed about
for generations.
Copy !req
203. You may outsmart someone.
Copy !req
204. You must be Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
205. I'm Ms. Melon,
your learning coordinator.
Copy !req
206. Let me say right at the start that
we have one rule here:
Copy !req
207. Make your own rules.
Copy !req
208. If you feel sleepy, take a nap.
Copy !req
209. If you get bored,
Copy !req
210. feel free to take out
a book and start reading.
Copy !req
211. - What should I read, ma'am?
- Anything you want, Bart.
Copy !req
212. A comic book?
Copy !req
213. How did this get mixed in here?
Copy !req
214. We used it last week
Copy !req
215. as a prop in a film
we made about illiteracy.
Copy !req
216. Bart, these are the students who will
share your work area.
Copy !req
217. This is Ethan Foley.
Copy !req
218. O Memsahib, Bart.
Rabbi has memo.
Copy !req
219. What?
Copy !req
220. Ethan's very good
with palindromes.
Copy !req
221. You know, sentences
spelled the same
Copy !req
222. backwards and forwards.
Copy !req
223. And this is Sidney Swift.
Copy !req
224. - Trabing norm doog.
- What's your problem?
Copy !req
225. Don't mind Sidney.
Copy !req
226. He's just speaking
in backwards phonetics today.
Copy !req
227. He said,
"Good morning, Bart."
Copy !req
228. - And this is Cecile Shapiro.
- Hi, Bart.
Copy !req
229. Cool hamsters.
What are their names?
Copy !req
230. Hamster Number One
has been infected
Copy !req
231. with a staphylococci virus.
Copy !req
232. Hamster Number Two
is the control hamster.
Copy !req
233. Hi, little control hamster.
Copy !req
234. I wouldn't get too attached, Bart.
Copy !req
235. We're dissecting him next week.
Copy !req
236. Discover your desks, people.
Copy !req
237. Now let's all welcome
the newest member
Copy !req
238. of our collective experience,
Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
239. And now we can continue
our debate from yesterday.
Copy !req
240. When we left off,
Calvin and Tanya were arguing
Copy !req
241. that free will is an illusion.
Copy !req
242. If you ask me,
humankind has freedom,
Copy !req
243. a freedom fraught
with paradoxes.
Copy !req
244. Freud shows how childhood shapes
our subconscious mind,
Copy !req
245. but this helps us
to think for ourselves.
Copy !req
246. Very good, Ian.
Copy !req
247. Does anyone else
have an example of a paradox?
Copy !req
248. Without law and order,
man has no freedom.
Copy !req
249. If you want peace,
you must prepare for war.
Copy !req
250. Well, it seems
the smartest child in the class
Copy !req
251. is also the quietest.
Copy !req
252. Bart, what other paradoxes
affect our lives?
Copy !req
253. Well, you're damned if you do,
Copy !req
254. and you're damned if you don't.
Copy !req
255. Well, I guess that
would be a paradox too.
Copy !req
256. Thank you, Bart.
Copy !req
257. Tell you what, Bart.
Copy !req
258. I'll trade you the weight
of a bowling ball
Copy !req
259. on the eighth moon
of Jupiter from my lunch
Copy !req
260. for the weight of a feather
on the second moon of Neptune
Copy !req
261. from your lunch.
Copy !req
262. - Well, okay.
- There you go!
Copy !req
263. I'll trade you
1,000 picoliters of my milk
Copy !req
264. for 4 gills of yours.
Copy !req
265. - Well, all right.
- Anything you say.
Copy !req
266. Bart, would you
wager your cupcake against my...
Copy !req
267. Save your breath.
Copy !req
268. What do you think
of the new kid?
Copy !req
269. A rather mediocre genius.
Copy !req
270. Yes, not very bright at all.
Copy !req
271. So, how was it?
Copy !req
272. - Os-os.
- What?
Copy !req
273. - That's backwards for so-so.
- Wow.
Copy !req
274. What are you reading there?
Comic books?
Copy !req
275. Guess you don't want to overheat
the old noggin?
Copy !req
276. Tell you what.
Copy !req
277. To celebrate your first day
of genius school,
Copy !req
278. what do you say we go out for a round
of frosty chocolate milkshakes?
Copy !req
279. All righty!
Copy !req
280. Bart, I feel so bad for going
so many years without...
Copy !req
281. What's that word where you encourage
something to grow?
Copy !req
282. - Nurturing.
- Nurturing your brilliant brain,
Copy !req
283. so I got tickets
to the opera tonight.
Copy !req
284. Hurry up. Get dressed.
It starts at 8:00.
Copy !req
285. Mom.
Not tonight.
Copy !req
286. Come on, Bart, your
mother's only trying to help,
Copy !req
287. so go ahead and enjoy the show.
Copy !req
288. Homer, you're going too.
Copy !req
289. But I'm not a genius.
Why should I suffer?
Copy !req
290. Hey, Lis, keep an eye out for
the guy with the peanuts.
Copy !req
291. There's no guy
with peanuts, dear.
Copy !req
292. Jeez. No beer.
No opera dogs.
Copy !req
293. Shh!
Copy !req
294. Bart, stop fooling around.
Copy !req
295. Homer, stop encouraging him.
Copy !req
296. Don't stifle the boy, Marge.
Copy !req
297. We're supposed to encourage him.
Copy !req
298. Shush!
Copy !req
299. Shh!
Copy !req
300. - Who's the lard butt?
- He's the bullfighter.
Copy !req
301. No way a bull's gonna miss
a target that big, man.
Copy !req
302. Who are those people?
Copy !req
303. P.U. When is this over?
Copy !req
304. It ain't over till
the fat lady sings.
Copy !req
305. Is that one fat enough
for you, son?
Copy !req
306. Let's go get a burger.
Copy !req
307. So, "Y" equals "R" cubed
over three.
Copy !req
308. And if you determine
the rate of change
Copy !req
309. in this curve correctly,
Copy !req
310. I think you will be
pleasantly surprised.
Copy !req
311. Don't you get it, Bart?
Copy !req
312. Derivative D-Y equals
three R squared,
Copy !req
313. D R over three,
Copy !req
314. or R squared D R, or R D R R.
Copy !req
315. Har-dee-har-har.
Get it?
Copy !req
316. Yeah.
Copy !req
317. Hi, guys.
Great to see ya.
Copy !req
318. - Get lost, Poindexter.
- Yeah, beat it, Professor.
Copy !req
319. Why don't you go build
a rocket ship, brainiac?
Copy !req
320. Well, come on, you two.
Don't forget about the film festival.
Copy !req
321. - The what?
- Sorry, Bart.
Copy !req
322. Your mother bought us tickets
to a snooty movie
Copy !req
323. directed by
some Swedish meatball.
Copy !req
324. No.
Copy !req
325. Well, I guess we don't
have to do that.
Copy !req
326. Um, look, Dad.
I got something to tell you.
Copy !req
327. Can it wait, son?
It's getting kinda dark.
Copy !req
328. All right, Homer.
Come on, baby.
Copy !req
329. Right across the plate.
Let me feel the wind.
Copy !req
330. Whoa! Strike two!
Two and two.
Copy !req
331. Can you still
see the ball, Bart?
Copy !req
332. Don't worry, Home boy.
You're not that fast.
Copy !req
333. You don't think so?
Copy !req
334. Well, here comes some real heat.
Copy !req
335. Whoa! Yeah, strike three!
You're outta there!
Copy !req
336. So, what was it you
wanted to tell me, son?
Copy !req
337. Nothing, Pop.
Copy !req
338. I'm still trying to get you
a lab partner, Bart.
Copy !req
339. If we don't get any volunteers soon,
I'll assign somebody.
Copy !req
340. Say, what's that?
It looks dangerous.
Copy !req
341. Well, it's really pretty
top secret, ma'am.
Copy !req
342. All right, keep going.
Copy !req
343. But you do know what happens
Copy !req
344. when you mix
acids and bases, right?
Copy !req
345. 'Course I do.
Copy !req
346. Sorry.
Copy !req
347. Now, Bart, we want to emphasize that
nobody's angry about this.
Copy !req
348. We're... We're just concerned.
Copy !req
349. When a young man with a 216 IQ
Copy !req
350. can't make
a simple experiment work,
Copy !req
351. well, it doesn't take
a Bart Simpson to figure out
Copy !req
352. that something's wrong.
Copy !req
353. Tell me. Is the class moving
too slowly for you?
Copy !req
354. Lord, no.
Copy !req
355. Well, then, what can
we do to make you happy?
Copy !req
356. I wanna go back to my old class.
Copy !req
357. But, Bart, don't you
remember the boredom,
Copy !req
358. the ennui,
the intellectual malaise?
Copy !req
359. Yeah, well, you know, kinda, um,
Copy !req
360. but I was thinking
I could go undercover.
Copy !req
361. Undercover?
Bart, I'm intrigued. Go on.
Copy !req
362. Well, I could pretend
I'm a regular dumb kid.
Copy !req
363. You know, to study them
Copy !req
364. and all the stuff they do
with each other.
Copy !req
365. You know, see what
makes them tick.
Copy !req
366. I see. Like Jane Goodall
and the chimps.
Copy !req
367. Yeah.
Copy !req
368. This is most impressive, Bart.
Copy !req
369. You write up your proposal
while I talk to Principal Skinner.
Copy !req
370. - Proposal?
- You know, outline your project,
Copy !req
371. what you hope to achieve,
what you'll require to do it.
Copy !req
372. Gotcha, man.
Copy !req
373. "'My proposal' by Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
374. "I want to pretend...
Copy !req
375. "I am a regular dumb kid.
Period.
Copy !req
376. By this, I hope..."
Copy !req
377. No.
"For this, I will..."
Copy !req
378. "Require..."
Copy !req
379. Man.
Copy !req
380. "'My Confession'
by Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
381. "I am a regular dumb kid.
Period.
Copy !req
382. I cheated on my intelligence test.
Period."
Copy !req
383. Finished already?
Copy !req
384. Principal Skinner will be
very interested to...
Copy !req
385. You know,
Copy !req
386. you misspelled
"confession."
Copy !req
387. Hey, lookin' good, Bart.
Copy !req
388. Bart, what happened?
Copy !req
389. I had a little accident
in chemistry today.
Copy !req
390. Well, I bet it's nothing
a little turpentine won't take off.
Copy !req
391. Come on, son.
Copy !req
392. Don't be discouraged, son.
Copy !req
393. I bet Einstein turned
himself all sorts of colors
Copy !req
394. before he invented
the lightbulb.
Copy !req
395. Dad, I gotta tell you something.
Copy !req
396. Hope you won't be too mad.
Copy !req
397. - What is it, son?
- I'm not a genius, Dad.
Copy !req
398. What?
Copy !req
399. I cheated on
the intelligence test.
Copy !req
400. I'm sorry.
But I just want to say
Copy !req
401. that the past few weeks
have been great.
Copy !req
402. Me and you have
done stuff together.
Copy !req
403. You've helped me out
with things,
Copy !req
404. and we're closer
than we've ever been.
Copy !req
405. I love you, Dad.
Copy !req
406. And I think if something
can bring us that close,
Copy !req
407. it can't possibly be bad.
Copy !req
408. Why, you little...
Copy !req
409. What's going on out there?
Copy !req
410. I think Bart's stupid again,
Mom.
Copy !req
411. Well.
Copy !req
412. You can't stay in there forever!
Copy !req
413. I can try.
Copy !req
414. March your butt
right out here, now!
Copy !req
415. - No way, man.
- But...
Copy !req
416. Son, if you don't come out,
Copy !req
417. I can't hug you and kiss you
and make you feel all better.
Copy !req
418. You think I'm dumb enough
to fall for that?
Copy !req
419. I'm insulted.
Copy !req
420. Shh!
