1. Aah!
Copy !req
2. Now class, I don't want
this field trip to be
Copy !req
3. a repeat of our infamous visit
Copy !req
4. to the Springfield State Prison.
Copy !req
5. So, I want you all
to be on your best behavior,
Copy !req
6. especially you, Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
7. Mrs. Krabappel,
I didn't unlock that door.
Copy !req
8. Sorry, little dudes.
Copy !req
9. Party hardy was tardy.
Copy !req
10. - All right, children. Count off.
- One, two, three.
Copy !req
11. - Hey, Otto. Hey, Ottoman.
- Hey, Bart dude.
Copy !req
12. Any new tattoos, Otto?
Copy !req
13. Funny you should ask, man.
Copy !req
14. This morning I woke up
with this one.
Copy !req
15. Cool. I want one.
Copy !req
16. Not till you're 14,
my little friend.
Copy !req
17. Bart! Bart Simpson!
Copy !req
18. Take your seat, Bart.
Copy !req
19. Please, Mrs. Krabappel,
not next to Wendell.
Copy !req
20. He pukes on every bus ride.
No offense, Wendell.
Copy !req
21. Be that as it may,
it's the only seat left,
Copy !req
22. so get in there!
Copy !req
23. Please try not to shake
the seat like that.
Copy !req
24. Now, class, remember.
Copy !req
25. Do not stick any part
of your body out the window.
Copy !req
26. We all know the tragic story
of the young man
Copy !req
27. who stuck his arm out the window
Copy !req
28. and had it ripped off by a big truck
coming in the other direction.
Copy !req
29. And I was that boy.
Copy !req
30. Bart Simpson, sit down!
Copy !req
31. I've had just about enough
of your tomfoolery.
Copy !req
32. I don't feel so hot.
Copy !req
33. Look, there's our school again.
Copy !req
34. - Otto, are you sure you...
- It's a shortcut, Mrs. K. Trust me.
Copy !req
35. Mrs. Krabappel!
Mrs. Krabappel!
Copy !req
36. Bart, not another word out of you,
Copy !req
37. or I'll subject you
to the humiliation
Copy !req
38. of making you sing
in front of the class.
Copy !req
39. - Can I pick the song?
- No.
Copy !req
40. The song will be "John Henry
Was a Steel Drivin' Man."
Copy !req
41. No.
Copy !req
42. We're gonna make you sing,
Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
43. Yeah, Bart Simpson,
we're gonna make you sing.
Copy !req
44. That's it, Bart.
Copy !req
45. Why can't you be more like...
Copy !req
46. Us, Mrs. Krabappel?
Copy !req
47. Yes, Sherri and Terri.
They know how to behave.
Copy !req
48. Da, da, da, da, da, da. Whoa!
Copy !req
49. Bart. Bart!
Copy !req
50. Okay, Bart. Enough!
Copy !req
51. Hey, Wendell,
you made it, buddy.
Copy !req
52. And so, this plant harnesses
the power of the atom
Copy !req
53. so that we have the energy
Copy !req
54. to run everything from
your favorite video game
Copy !req
55. to yummy cotton candy machines.
Copy !req
56. Let's learn more about
nuclear energy, shall we?
Copy !req
57. Lights.
Copy !req
58. When most people
think of nuclear energy,
Copy !req
59. they think of this.
Copy !req
60. But when we talk about
nuclear energy,
Copy !req
61. we really mean this.
Copy !req
62. But what exactly
is nuclear energy?
Copy !req
63. I don't know,
but I know someone who does.
Copy !req
64. - Smilin' Joe Fission.
- Hi, there, energy eaters.
Copy !req
65. I'm Smilin' Joe Fission,
your atomic tour guide...
Copy !req
66. to the strange and exciting world
of nuclear power.
Copy !req
67. And these are rods
of uranium 235. Hi, Rod.
Copy !req
68. Hi. Hey. Good to see ya.
Copy !req
69. Hey, you guys look hot.
Copy !req
70. - Of course we're hot.
- We're radioactive.
Copy !req
71. Well, how 'bout
a dip in the pool?
Copy !req
72. Yeah!
Last one in's the rotten rod!
Copy !req
73. The rods make the water
so hot it boils.
Copy !req
74. Ouch!
Copy !req
75. And the steam spins turbines
Copy !req
76. that generate energy.
Copy !req
77. Bart, sit down.
Copy !req
78. Whoops.
Copy !req
79. Looks like there's a little leftover
nuclear waste. No problem.
Copy !req
80. I'll just put it where nobody'll find it
for a million years.
Copy !req
81. So, now you know the whole true story
of nuclear energy,
Copy !req
82. our no longer
misunderstood friend.
Copy !req
83. So, keep on smilin'.
Copy !req
84. Now, let's have even more fun.
Copy !req
85. And, over here is
our thermal regulator.
Copy !req
86. To your right, if you look
through this window,
Copy !req
87. you'll see where our water rejoins the rest
of nature's biosphere.
Copy !req
88. Hey, Bart, our dad says
your dad is incompetent.
Copy !req
89. What does incompetent mean?
Copy !req
90. It means he spends more time
Copy !req
91. yakking and scarfing down
doughnuts than doing his job.
Copy !req
92. Okay. I thought
you were putting him down.
Copy !req
93. You know, I defy anyone
to tell the difference
Copy !req
94. between these doughnuts
and ones baked today.
Copy !req
95. My boy's supposed to be here
any second on a field trip.
Copy !req
96. They been through here yet?
Copy !req
97. Come on, Simpson.
Copy !req
98. If they wanted the kids
to see you sitting around
Copy !req
99. on your butt and stuffin' your face,
Copy !req
100. they'd take them
on a tour of your house.
Copy !req
101. You're right.
I gotta get where the action is.
Copy !req
102. Comin' through!
Copy !req
103. Hey, there's my dad.
Copy !req
104. Hey, Dad! Yo, Homer!
Woo! Woo! I'm up here!
Copy !req
105. Hi, boy!
Copy !req
106. All right.
Who's responsible for this?
Copy !req
107. I might have known it
was you, Simpson.
Copy !req
108. But, sir, I...
Copy !req
109. I don't want to hear
about it, Simpson. You're fired!
Copy !req
110. - Hi, girls.
- Hi, Daddy.
Copy !req
111. Here's a good job
at the fireworks factory.
Copy !req
112. Those perfectionists?
Forget it.
Copy !req
113. How 'bout this?
Copy !req
114. Supervising technician
at the toxic waste dump.
Copy !req
115. I'm no supervising technician. I'm a
technical supervisor.
Copy !req
116. I've never done anything
worthwhile in my life.
Copy !req
117. I'm a big, worthless nothing.
Copy !req
118. There, there, Homer.
You'll find a job.
Copy !req
119. You've caused plenty
of industrial accidents,
Copy !req
120. and you've always bounced back.
Copy !req
121. - Yeah, Dad, you can do it!
- Yeah, go for it, Dad.
Copy !req
122. You're right! I'm young,
I'm able-bodied,
Copy !req
123. and I'll take anything!
Copy !req
124. Watch out, Springfield.
Here I come.
Copy !req
125. Don't give up, Dad.
Copy !req
126. I'm just a technical supervisor
who cared too much.
Copy !req
127. - Moe's Tavern.
- Is Mr. Freely there?
Copy !req
128. - Who?
- Freely. First initials "I.P."
Copy !req
129. Hold on.
I'll check.
Copy !req
130. Is I.P. Freely here?
Copy !req
131. Hey, everybody!
I.P. Freely!
Copy !req
132. Wait a minute.
Listen to me, ya lousy bum.
Copy !req
133. When I get a hold of you, you're dead.
Copy !req
134. I swear I'm gonna
slice your heart in half.
Copy !req
135. You'll get that
punk someday, Moe.
Copy !req
136. I don't know.
Copy !req
137. He's tough to catch.
He keeps changing his name.
Copy !req
138. I think I'll have
another... Oops.
Copy !req
139. I'm a little low on funds.
Copy !req
140. Do you think you can
cover me just this once?
Copy !req
141. No, sorry.
Copy !req
142. W-Why not?
Copy !req
143. I think after all these years
I deserve an explanation.
Copy !req
144. I don't think you're
ever gonna get another job
Copy !req
145. and be able to pay me back.
Copy !req
146. Don't worry.
Copy !req
147. We're still friends.
Copy !req
148. - All you all right, Homer?
- I'm fine. I'm just thinking.
Copy !req
149. Well, I've been thinking too.
Copy !req
150. You know, Homer, you've always
been such a good provider,
Copy !req
151. but when we got married,
Copy !req
152. Mr. Berger promised I could
come back to my old job
Copy !req
153. anytime I wanted.
Copy !req
154. You think you can
still do that kind of work?
Copy !req
155. Sure. You never forget.
It's just like riding a bicycle.
Copy !req
156. Hey, Mama,
where's my fries already?
Copy !req
157. Dad, eat something.
It's got mustard on it.
Copy !req
158. All he does is lie there
like an unemployed whale.
Copy !req
159. I don't know what else to do.
Copy !req
160. There's only
one thing we can do:
Copy !req
161. take advantage of the old guy.
Copy !req
162. You gotta sign
my report card, Dad.
Copy !req
163. Loaftime,
Copy !req
164. the cable network
for the unemployed.
Copy !req
165. We'll be back with more tips
on how to win the lottery
Copy !req
166. right after this.
Copy !req
167. Unemployed? Out of work? Sober?
Copy !req
168. You sat around the house
all day, but now it's Duff time.
Copy !req
169. Duff, the beer that makes
the days fly by.
Copy !req
170. Now there's
a temporary solution.
Copy !req
171. There must be
some beer here somewhere.
Copy !req
172. Maybe in here.
Copy !req
173. Damn! I need money!
Copy !req
174. No.
What have I done?
Copy !req
175. I smashed open my little
boy's piggy bank, and for what?
Copy !req
176. A few measly cents.
Copy !req
177. Not even enough to buy one beer.
Copy !req
178. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
179. Let me count and make sure.
Not even close.
Copy !req
180. Dear family.
Copy !req
181. I am an utter failure,
and you'll be better off without me.
Copy !req
182. By the time you read this,
I will be in my watery grave.
Copy !req
183. I can only leave you with the words
my father gave me:
Copy !req
184. "Stand tall, have courage
and never give up."
Copy !req
185. I only hope I can provide
a better model...
Copy !req
186. in death than I did in life.
Copy !req
187. Warmest regards.
Copy !req
188. Love, Homer J. Simpson.
Copy !req
189. Nothing's easy.
Copy !req
190. Looks like young Simpson
is going to kill himself.
Copy !req
191. Well, maybe not.
Copy !req
192. Maybe he's just taking
his boulder for a walk.
Copy !req
193. - Mom! Mom! Wake up!
- We've been robbed!
Copy !req
194. - What?
- Someone swiped my piggy bank!
Copy !req
195. Your father's gone too!
Copy !req
196. Look what I found.
Copy !req
197. Almost there.
Copy !req
198. Hey, you idiot!
Watch where you're going!
Copy !req
199. Well, live and learn.
Copy !req
200. There he is!
Don't do it, Dad!
Copy !req
201. Boy, this intersection
is dangerous.
Copy !req
202. Someone ought to put
a stop sign here.
Copy !req
203. Homer.
Copy !req
204. How could you think
of killing yourself?
Copy !req
205. We love you.
Copy !req
206. - Yeah, Dad. We love you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
207. Kill myself?
Copy !req
208. Killing myself is
the last thing I'd ever do.
Copy !req
209. Now I have a purpose,
a reason to live.
Copy !req
210. I don't care who I have to face.
Copy !req
211. I don't care
who I have to fight.
Copy !req
212. I will not rest until
this street gets a stop sign!
Copy !req
213. Next on the agenda.
Police Chief Wiggum
Copy !req
214. will give us an update
on our graffiti problem.
Copy !req
215. Well, it's no secret
our city is under siege
Copy !req
216. by a graffiti vandal
known as "El Barto."
Copy !req
217. Police artists have
a composite sketch of the culprit.
Copy !req
218. If anyone has any information,
please contact us immediately.
Copy !req
219. Cool, man.
Copy !req
220. Tough customer.
Copy !req
221. Ooh, wouldn't want to run
into him in a dark alley.
Copy !req
222. And now, new business.
Copy !req
223. Homer Simpson, local resident,
has something. Mr. Simpson?
Copy !req
224. Don't be nervous.
We believe in you, Homer.
Copy !req
225. Ladies and gentlemen,
esteemed councilmen,
Copy !req
226. boys and girls, retired people
with nothing better to do.
Copy !req
227. Danger comes in many,
many forms,
Copy !req
228. from dinosaurs that tormented
our caveman ancestors to the...
Copy !req
229. Simpson, get to the point.
Copy !req
230. I think we should put a stop sign at
"D" Street and 12th.
Copy !req
231. - The other...
- All in favor?
Copy !req
232. - Aye.
- Approved. Meeting adjourned.
Copy !req
233. Coffee and maple logs
in the lobby.
Copy !req
234. Wow. They listened to me.
Copy !req
235. - All right, Dad!
- Way to go, Homer.
Copy !req
236. You did it, Homer.
Copy !req
237. If they think I'm gonna
stop at that stop sign,
Copy !req
238. they're sadly mistaken.
Copy !req
239. Homer, I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
240. Proud? Proud of what?
Copy !req
241. Well, everything.
Your dip sign, for instance.
Copy !req
242. Now people won't be
caught off guard
Copy !req
243. by that little "-" in the road.
Copy !req
244. What a great family,
but come on.
Copy !req
245. We all know
this is small potatoes.
Copy !req
246. There's a danger in this town
Copy !req
247. that is bigger than
all the dips put together.
Copy !req
248. - What, Dad?
- I'm talking about that.
Copy !req
249. You don't mean you're going
to take on your old bosses.
Copy !req
250. - Wow.
- Gee, Dad's a hero.
Copy !req
251. - What'd ya say, son?
- Nothin'.
Copy !req
252. That's okay.
Copy !req
253. I'll just assume you said
what I thought I heard you say.
Copy !req
254. He also brought you
the speed bump...
Copy !req
255. The dip sign,
Copy !req
256. the 15 miles per hour speed limit
on Main Street.
Copy !req
257. I give you the man whose very name
is synonymous with safety.
Copy !req
258. Homer Simpson!
Copy !req
259. - Homer! Homer!
- Thank you.
Copy !req
260. Unlike most of you,
I am not a nut.
Copy !req
261. Just a good, honest American
who opposes wrongdoing...
Copy !req
262. and especially carelessness
wherever they occur.
Copy !req
263. Look at that man.
Copy !req
264. He has the crowd
in the palm of his hand.
Copy !req
265. Haven't seen anything
like it since Jolson.
Copy !req
266. Who is he?
Copy !req
267. That's Homer Simpson, sir.
Copy !req
268. He used to work here
in the plant,
Copy !req
269. but we fired him
for gross incompetence.
Copy !req
270. So that's his little game.
Copy !req
271. Get this Simpson
character up here right now.
Copy !req
272. But Mr. Burns...
Copy !req
273. I said do it! Now do it!
Do it! Do it!
Copy !req
274. Our lives are at the hands
of men no smarter than you or I,
Copy !req
275. many of them, incompetent boobs.
Copy !req
276. I know this because
I worked alongside them,
Copy !req
277. gone bowling with them,
Copy !req
278. watched them pass me over
for promotions time and again.
Copy !req
279. And I say, this stinks! -
Copy !req
280. Hey. Hey, Simpson,
Burns wants to talk to you privately.
Copy !req
281. - Privately?
- Yes.
Copy !req
282. Stay here.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
283. Homer Simpson,
at last we meet. Same here.
Copy !req
284. Simpson, I want you to rejoin
our power plant family.
Copy !req
285. - Sorry. No can do.
- Hear me out, Simpson!
Copy !req
286. I don't want you to come back
as a technical supervisor
Copy !req
287. or supervising technician
Copy !req
288. or whatever the hell
you used to do.
Copy !req
289. I want you to be in charge
of safety here at the plant.
Copy !req
290. - Safety?
- But, sir, if truth be known,
Copy !req
291. I actually caused
more accidents around here
Copy !req
292. than any other employee.
Copy !req
293. There were even a few doozies
no one ever found out about.
Copy !req
294. The generous offer I'm making
is good for exactly...
Copy !req
295. 30 seconds, Simpson.
Copy !req
296. Me, in charge of safety?
Copy !req
297. This place could blow sky high.
Copy !req
298. Nah. I'll concentrate
on my work now.
Copy !req
299. Gee, this guy's desk
sure is big.
Copy !req
300. I can't let Marge support
the family.
Copy !req
301. This guy's got the cleanest
shirt I've ever seen.
Copy !req
302. What should I...
Copy !req
303. Simpson, time's up.
Copy !req
304. What the hey.
I'll take the job.
Copy !req
305. Excellent.
Copy !req
306. Your first duty will be
to step out on the balcony
Copy !req
307. and tell that crowd
this plant is safe.
Copy !req
308. - What?
- Go on, Homer.
Copy !req
309. Homer! Homer!
Homer! Homer! Homer!
Copy !req
310. Yeah, Homer!
Copy !req
311. Go, Dad!
Copy !req
312. Ladies and gentlemen,
this plant is...
Copy !req
313. Sit tight.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
314. I can't do it, Mr. Burns.
Copy !req
315. You mean, you're willing to give up
a good job and a raise
Copy !req
316. just for your principles?
Copy !req
317. When you put it that way,
it does sound a little farfetched,
Copy !req
318. but that's the lug
you're lookin' at!
Copy !req
319. And I vow to continue spending
every free minute I have...
Copy !req
320. crusading for safety!
Copy !req
321. Of course, I'd have a lot less
of those free minutes
Copy !req
322. if you gave me the job.
Copy !req
323. You're not as stupid
as you look or sound...
Copy !req
324. or our best testing indicates.
Copy !req
325. You've got the job.
Now get to work!
Copy !req
326. I'll get to work,
Copy !req
327. but first I have to say
good-bye to some friends.
Copy !req
328. Friends,
Copy !req
329. you have come to depend on me
as your safety watchdog
Copy !req
330. so you won't scrape yourself
or stub your toes
Copy !req
331. or blow yourselves up.
Copy !req
332. But you can't depend on me
all your life.
Copy !req
333. You have to learn that there's
a little Homer Simpson in all of us,
Copy !req
334. and I'm going to have to live
without your respect and awe.
Copy !req
335. The only reason
I'm telling you this is...
Copy !req
336. I'm going to be leaving you.
Copy !req
337. But don't worry.
Copy !req
338. I have just been appointed
Copy !req
339. the new safety inspector
at this very plant...
Copy !req
340. with a big, fat raise!
Copy !req
341. Hey, that's my pop up there!
Dad, watch out!
Copy !req
342. Whoa, easy!
Don't drop me.
Copy !req
343. - Be careful.
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
Copy !req
344. Shh.
Copy !req
