1. Aah!
Copy !req
2. You know, Bart,
when I was your age,
Copy !req
3. I pulled a few boners.
Copy !req
4. But I think you'll find that people
are pretty decent
Copy !req
5. - if you give them half...
- Look! There it is...
Copy !req
6. - The head!
- Kill him!
Copy !req
7. This way!
Copy !req
8. They got us cornered, boy.
Copy !req
9. We'll never get away.
Give me the head.
Copy !req
10. No, Dad.
This whole thing was my fault.
Copy !req
11. - You run along.
- Son, we're in this mess together.
Copy !req
12. No matter how tempting it might be,
Copy !req
13. I can't let my only boy
Copy !req
14. get ripped limb from limb
by a bloodthirsty mob.
Copy !req
15. - Aw, Dad.
- We'll die together,
Copy !req
16. like a father and son should.
Copy !req
17. Look.
Now we've got 'em.
Copy !req
18. - Hey, that's Homer Simpson.
- And his kid, Bart.
Copy !req
19. - Let's kill them!
- String 'em up!
Copy !req
20. - Off the kid, man. Off him!
- Kill Bart!
Copy !req
21. - Kill Homer!
- Let's kill this guy!
Copy !req
22. Murderous mob,
Copy !req
23. I beg you to spare our lives.
Copy !req
24. At least until you've heard
the story of how we ended up
Copy !req
25. with the head
of our beloved town founder.
Copy !req
26. How long will this story take?
Copy !req
27. About 23 minutes and 5 seconds.
Copy !req
28. - It's too long!
- 23:05?
Copy !req
29. Well, all right. Go ahead.
Copy !req
30. Okay.
It all started Sunday morning.
Copy !req
31. Kids!
We're late for church.
Copy !req
32. Get your butts
down here right now!
Copy !req
33. Ready for inspection, Mom.
Copy !req
34. Very nice, Maggie.
Copy !req
35. And, Lisa, you look lovely.
Copy !req
36. Bart, assume the position.
Copy !req
37. Bart.
Copy !req
38. Now where's your father?
Copy !req
39. - Phillips has broken free.
- Get 'em. Get 'em!
Copy !req
40. - The 50, the 40, the 30, the 20, the 10...
- No!
Copy !req
41. - Homer!
- D'
Copy !req
42. A 64-yard run!
We've got an upset in the making!
Copy !req
43. No, we don't.
Try being objective for once in...?
Copy !req
44. - Let's go, Homer.
- But you don't understand, Marge.
Copy !req
45. I have 50 bucks riding on this game.
Copy !req
46. Homer, you promised me.
Copy !req
47. This isn't gambling, Marge.
Copy !req
48. - It's a lead-pipe cinch.
- Here's the kickoff.
Copy !req
49. Wolodarsky takes it at the five.
Copy !req
50. And my. He fumbles!
Copy !req
51. - No!
- Another touchdown!
Copy !req
52. Come on.
Copy !req
53. Why should I feel like a traffic cop
Copy !req
54. every Sunday morning?
Copy !req
55. I'm just trying
to get a little goodness
Copy !req
56. into the family.
Copy !req
57. Where is the game? Where is it?
Copy !req
58. Got Wolodarsky open in the end zone.
Copy !req
59. - Catch it. Catch it.
- It's complete. Touchdown!
Copy !req
60. All right!
Copy !req
61. Doctor,
we got a barn burner here.
Copy !req
62. This could be
the most remarkable comeback
Copy !req
63. since Lazarus rose from the dead.
Copy !req
64. Laza who?
Copy !req
65. Come on, everybody.
We're late.
Copy !req
66. Bart, I want you to promise me
Copy !req
67. you'll pay attention in Sunday school.
Copy !req
68. Bart. Bart?
Copy !req
69. - Bart!
- Whoa! Are you talking to me?
Copy !req
70. What's this?
A personal stereo.
Copy !req
71. Were you going to listen to rock music
in Sunday school?
Copy !req
72. Maybe.
Copy !req
73. Can you believe this, Homer? Homer?
Copy !req
74. - Homer!
- No, no, no!
Copy !req
75. We stink. We stink.
Copy !req
76. The 40, the 30,
the 20, the 10, touchdown!
Copy !req
77. Homer, were you planning
on sitting in the car
Copy !req
78. - till the game was over?
- Maybe.
Copy !req
79. It's because of your irreverent attitude
Copy !req
80. that Bart thinks he can sneak
headphones into Sunday school.
Copy !req
81. - Now move it!
- Now here's the kickoff.
Copy !req
82. Wolodarsky takes it at the five.
Copy !req
83. And, my. He fumbles!
Copy !req
84. Will my dog Pepper be there?
Copy !req
85. I'm sorry, but the answer is no.
Copy !req
86. - Why not?
- Because heaven is for people.
Copy !req
87. What about my cat Snowball?
Copy !req
88. I'm sorry, but the answer is no.
Copy !req
89. - Will there be cavemen in heaven?
- Certainly not.
Copy !req
90. Um, ma'am, what if you're
a really good person,
Copy !req
91. but you're in a really,
really bad fight,
Copy !req
92. and your leg gets gangrene,
and it has to be amputated,
Copy !req
93. will it be waiting
for you in heaven?
Copy !req
94. For the last time, Bart, yes!
Copy !req
95. And now, I'd like to
begin today's sermon,
Copy !req
96. which I have entitled,
Copy !req
97. "Gambling,
the Eighth Deadly Sin."
Copy !req
98. Today is Sunday, the Lord's day,
Copy !req
99. and yet, at this very moment,
Copy !req
100. millions of Americans
are not in the Lord's house.
Copy !req
101. They're in their own house
worshipping a false idol...
Copy !req
102. Professional football.
Lord...
Copy !req
103. It's a beautiful Sunday.
Copy !req
104. Perfect football weather
for this incredible game.
Copy !req
105. And by the way, this game
is being brought to you
Copy !req
106. by the good people at Duff beer.
Copy !req
107. You can't get enough
of that wonderful Duff.
Copy !req
108. Now they're
lining up for this crucial kick.
Copy !req
109. One final tick
of the clock remains.
Copy !req
110. If they win, it will cap
an amazing comeback.
Copy !req
111. But it's a 49-yard field goal
into the wind.
Copy !req
112. Make it! Make it!
Make it! Make it!
Copy !req
113. - The kick is up.
- Please, please, please, please!
Copy !req
114. Holy Toledo, it's good!
Copy !req
115. It's good! It's good!
It's good!
Copy !req
116. It's... good to see
you all in church.
Copy !req
117. - Please, be seated, Homer.
- Yeah, sit down, Homer.
Copy !req
118. The ventriloquist goes to heaven,
Copy !req
119. but the dummy doesn't.
Copy !req
120. - Me!
- Bart?
Copy !req
121. What about a robot
with a human brain?
Copy !req
122. I don't know!
All these questions!
Copy !req
123. Is a little blind faith
too much to ask?
Copy !req
124. Yay!
Copy !req
125. Don't forget next week.
Remember to read...
Copy !req
126. That was very nice, Father.
Copy !req
127. I was pleased you enjoyed it.
Copy !req
128. I seemed to have struck a chord
with you today, Homer.
Copy !req
129. What?
Yeah, you were great.
Copy !req
130. Homer.
Copy !req
131. Homer, you embarrassed us
Copy !req
132. in front of the whole congregation.
Copy !req
133. And today's sermon was one
you should have really listened to.
Copy !req
134. - What was it about?
- Gambling.
Copy !req
135. He didn't say that
under certain circumstances
Copy !req
136. it was all right, did he?
Copy !req
137. No! Look, I don't want
to talk about this anymore
Copy !req
138. in front of the kids.
Copy !req
139. Lisa, Bart,
Copy !req
140. what did you two learn
in Sunday school today?
Copy !req
141. The answers to deep
theological questions.
Copy !req
142. Yeah. Among other things,
apes can't get into heaven.
Copy !req
143. What?
Those cute little monkeys?
Copy !req
144. That's terrible.
Copy !req
145. - Who told you that?
- Our teacher.
Copy !req
146. I can understand
how they wouldn't let in
Copy !req
147. those wild jungle apes,
Copy !req
148. but what about those really
smart ones who live among us,
Copy !req
149. who roller-skate
and smoke cigars?
Copy !req
150. Cool, man.
"Space Mutants 4."
Copy !req
151. Drop me off!
Drop me off!
Copy !req
152. - No way, Jose.
- Marge, they're only space mutants.
Copy !req
153. I know what
those movies are like.
Copy !req
154. Killing innocent people,
eating human flesh.
Copy !req
155. You'll just get
a lot of bad ideas.
Copy !req
156. Hey, Dad.
Can I have five bucks?
Copy !req
157. I hope you're not planning
to see a certain movie
Copy !req
158. starring certain space mutants
Copy !req
159. that a certain mother
didn't want you to see.
Copy !req
160. Perish the thought.
Copy !req
161. Here you go, son.
Copy !req
162. Share the wealth.
That's what I always say.
Copy !req
163. Ooh!
Copy !req
164. Whoa! Whoa!
Copy !req
165. Ooh, cowabunga!
Copy !req
166. - Hey, hot dog!
- What?
Copy !req
167. Nice dismount, man.
Copy !req
168. Didn't hurt.
Copy !req
169. Yeah?
Well, do it again.
Copy !req
170. Nah. Might land on my face
and end up looking like you.
Copy !req
171. You little punk!
Copy !req
172. Hey, man, leave the kid alone.
I like him.
Copy !req
173. - You do?
- Yeah, you're witty.
Copy !req
174. - So what's your name, man?
- I'm Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
175. This here's Kearny,
and I'm Jimbo.
Copy !req
176. You don't need an introduction.
You're the worst kid in school.
Copy !req
177. - Thanks.
- Psst. Coast is clear.
Copy !req
178. You guys are sneakin' in?
Copy !req
179. Yeah.
Only saps pay to see movies.
Copy !req
180. Hey, Bart, come on!
Copy !req
181. But sneaking into a movie is
practically stealing, man.
Copy !req
182. - "Practically"?
- It is stealing.
Copy !req
183. Well, okay.
Copy !req
184. I just wanted to make sure
we weren't deluding ourselves.
Copy !req
185. Wait! I think
I hear something.
Copy !req
186. Come on.
Loosen up, babe.
Copy !req
187. There's nobody here
but you and me.
Copy !req
188. No. Stop it!
Copy !req
189. I think I hear something...
not human.
Copy !req
190. Let's get romantic.
Copy !req
191. Well, okay.
Copy !req
192. You little sneaks,
you're coming with me.
Copy !req
193. Next time you little
hoodlums try this,
Copy !req
194. - I'm calling your parents!
- Yeah?
Copy !req
195. Well, we don't wanna see
your crummy movie anyway.
Copy !req
196. Yeah.
We'll take our business elsewhere.
Copy !req
197. You know, Bart.
Copy !req
198. I've been kicked out of
all four "Space Mutant" movies.
Copy !req
199. Wow, man.
Copy !req
200. Three jumbo cherry squisheys,
Copy !req
201. and one double jumbo
original flavor, sir.
Copy !req
202. Okay.
Copy !req
203. Don't you kids take anything.
Copy !req
204. I'm watching you.
Copy !req
205. I've got eyes in the back of my head.
Copy !req
206. - Four fifty-two.
- Don't worry, guys. It's on me.
Copy !req
207. Share the wealth.
That's what I always say.
Copy !req
208. Guys?
Copy !req
209. Guys?
Copy !req
210. Hey, guys. Where'd you get
all that great stuff?
Copy !req
211. Five-finger discount, man.
Copy !req
212. You ripped it off?
Copy !req
213. Yeah. Thanks for
covering for us, man.
Copy !req
214. Go on, Bart.
Copy !req
215. But that guy founded Springfield.
Copy !req
216. He built our first hospital
out of logs and mud.
Copy !req
217. If it weren't for him,
all the settlers would have died
Copy !req
218. in the great blizzard of '48.
Copy !req
219. So?
Copy !req
220. So...
Copy !req
221. watch me hit him
right between the eyes.
Copy !req
222. Hey, what are you doing there?
Copy !req
223. Show a little respect,
you insolent little thugs.
Copy !req
224. - Ooh.
- We're really scared.
Copy !req
225. Hey! Hey, you!
Hey! Hey, you!
Copy !req
226. You know, when you
look up at clouds in the sky,
Copy !req
227. they start looking like stuff.
Copy !req
228. - No, they don't.
- Yeah, they do.
Copy !req
229. Like that one over there
looks just like a cherry bomb.
Copy !req
230. Hey, you're right.
And look at that one.
Copy !req
231. It looks like a guy
with a switchblade
Copy !req
232. stuck in his back.
Copy !req
233. Yeah, that one
looks like a school bus
Copy !req
234. going over a cliff in flames
Copy !req
235. with kids inside screaming.
Copy !req
236. That one looks just like
the statue of our town founder,
Copy !req
237. Jebediah Springfield.
Copy !req
238. - Does not.
- Does too.
Copy !req
239. I mean, without the head, of course.
Copy !req
240. Yeah.
Copy !req
241. I wish someone really would
cut his ugly old head off.
Copy !req
242. - You do?
- Yeah, that'd be cool.
Copy !req
243. Sure would cheese everybody off.
Copy !req
244. But, guys, come on.
Don't you remember history class?
Copy !req
245. Jebediah once killed
a bear with his bare hands.
Copy !req
246. Sorry.
Copy !req
247. We forgot how much you love
Jebediah Springfield.
Copy !req
248. - Yeah, he's your boyfriend.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
249. - Come on, guys. Knock it off.
- Beat it, Simpson.
Copy !req
250. Man, I thought you were cool.
Copy !req
251. Beat it, Simpson.
Copy !req
252. Man, I thought you were cool.
Copy !req
253. Aha!
Copy !req
254. Wow! Look at these
bowling balls, Maggie.
Copy !req
255. Can you think of a better
way for Daddy to spend
Copy !req
256. his hard-won 50 bucks?
Copy !req
257. Now I've seen everything.
Copy !req
258. Black, marbleized
with a liquid center.
Copy !req
259. "The Stealth Bowler:
Copy !req
260. The pins don't know
what hit them."
Copy !req
261. Dad, can I talk to you
about something?
Copy !req
262. Sure, boy.
What's on your mind?
Copy !req
263. Well, I was wondering.
Copy !req
264. How important is it
to be popular?
Copy !req
265. I'm glad you asked, son.
Copy !req
266. Being popular is the most
important thing in the world.
Copy !req
267. So, like, sometimes
you could do stuff
Copy !req
268. that you think is pretty bad
Copy !req
269. so other kids
will like you better?
Copy !req
270. You're not talking about
killing anyone, are you?
Copy !req
271. No.
Copy !req
272. - Are you?
- No!
Copy !req
273. Then run along, you little scamp.
Copy !req
274. A boy without mischief
Copy !req
275. is like a bowling ball
without a liquid center.
Copy !req
276. What have I done?
Copy !req
277. Bart, are you all right?
Copy !req
278. Yeah.
Top of the world, Ma.
Copy !req
279. Well, then,
come down for breakfast.
Copy !req
280. "The Hammer of Thor:
It will send your pins to...
Copy !req
281. Val-halla." Lisa?
Copy !req
282. Valhalla is where Vikings
go when they die.
Copy !req
283. That's some ball.
Copy !req
284. Good morning, everybody.
Copy !req
285. We interrupt
"Mambo in the Morning"
Copy !req
286. to bring you this
special news bulletin.
Copy !req
287. The statue
of Jebediah Springfield,
Copy !req
288. our illustrious town founder,
Copy !req
289. was brutally decapitated last night...
Copy !req
290. in an act of senseless vandalism.
Copy !req
291. We now go to Police Chief Wiggum
at City Hall.
Copy !req
292. Well, we have no witnesses,
no suspects, and no leads.
Copy !req
293. If anyone has any information,
Copy !req
294. please dial "O"
and ask for the police.
Copy !req
295. That number again, "O."
Copy !req
296. Stay tuned to this station
Copy !req
297. for further developments
as they break.
Copy !req
298. - It's just a statue.
- It's a statue of
Copy !req
299. the trailblazing founder
of our town.
Copy !req
300. It's a symbol
of what we can all do
Copy !req
301. if we put our minds to it.
Copy !req
302. Just a statue?
Copy !req
303. Is the Statue of Liberty just a statue?
Copy !req
304. Is the Leaning Tower of Pizza
just a statue?
Copy !req
305. School bus.
Copy !req
306. Come on, Lis.
School bus.
Copy !req
307. Go on, Lisa.
Copy !req
308. We've all got to be brave,
just like Jebediah
Copy !req
309. - when he killed that bear.
- It's so awful.
Copy !req
310. Okay, come on,
come on, everybody.
Copy !req
311. We gotta get on with our lives.
Copy !req
312. Let's try and put
this tragedy behind us.
Copy !req
313. You're right, Moe.
Copy !req
314. A beer, please, and make sure
there's a head on it.
Copy !req
315. I said it before,
and I'll say it again,
Copy !req
316. "Hell in a handbasket!"
Copy !req
317. I hope they find
the punk who did this,
Copy !req
318. and I hope
they cut his head off.
Copy !req
319. Yeah!
Copy !req
320. Hi, guys. What's up?
Copy !req
321. We were saying we'd love
to meet the guy
Copy !req
322. who cut off
the head of that statue.
Copy !req
323. Yeah, we wish he were
here right now.
Copy !req
324. Really?
Copy !req
325. Yeah, we'd break every bone
in his stupid little body.
Copy !req
326. Yeah, that's right, man.
Copy !req
327. - Limb by limb.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
328. What? But-But yesterday,
Copy !req
329. didn't you say it would be cool
Copy !req
330. to cut off the head,
Copy !req
331. and really cheese everybody off?
Copy !req
332. Yeah, that was
just cloud talk, man.
Copy !req
333. Yeah.
I mean, throwing rocks is one thing,
Copy !req
334. but I would never
cut the head off of a guy
Copy !req
335. who iced a bear
with his bare hands.
Copy !req
336. - So what's in the bag, Bart?
- My head.
Copy !req
337. I said, what's in the bag, Bart?
Copy !req
338. Go ahead, Bart. Tell them.
Copy !req
339. It's the head of Jebediah Springfield.
Copy !req
340. I gotta go!
Copy !req
341. Look what you've done.
Copy !req
342. You wanted to be popular.
Copy !req
343. Now you're the most
hated boy in town.
Copy !req
344. You're not really talking to me.
Copy !req
345. You're just my overactive imagination.
Copy !req
346. - I am, am I?
- Shut up.
Copy !req
347. I wanted them to like me.
Copy !req
348. The child seems rattled.
Copy !req
349. - Can you blame him?
- No. No, I can't.
Copy !req
350. There, there, Mr. Burns. Blow, sir.
Copy !req
351. Hey, Bart, where are you going?
Copy !req
352. - To my room.
- Why don't you watch "Krusty the Clown?"
Copy !req
353. There's someone
out there in Krustyland
Copy !req
354. who has committed an atrocity.
Copy !req
355. If you know who cut off
Jebediah's head...
Copy !req
356. I don't care if it's
your brother, your sister,
Copy !req
357. your daddy or your mommy...
Copy !req
358. Turn them in,
and Krusty will send you
Copy !req
359. a free slide whistle
just like Sideshow Bob's.
Copy !req
360. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
361. I hope you're not planning to do
what I think you're doing.
Copy !req
362. Sorry, man.
It's either you or me.
Copy !req
363. You know, Bart,
Copy !req
364. you don't have to found a town
to be a hero.
Copy !req
365. Sometimes a hero
could be a young boy
Copy !req
366. with the courage to stand up
and admit he's made a mistake.
Copy !req
367. Yeah, well, I'm running
a little short on courage right now.
Copy !req
368. Aah!
Copy !req
369. Anyway, think about it,
will you, son?
Copy !req
370. Jebediah Obediah
Zachariah Jedediah Springfield
Copy !req
371. came West in 1838.
Copy !req
372. Along the way,
he met a ferocious bear
Copy !req
373. and killed it
with his bare hands.
Copy !req
374. That's "B-A-R-E" hands.
Copy !req
375. Although modern historians
recently uncovered evidence
Copy !req
376. that the bear, in fact,
probably killed him.
Copy !req
377. - But whether bear killed man...
- Mom. Dad.
Copy !req
378. - I knew it all along!
- Why, Bart? Why?
Copy !req
379. Yeah, why?
You little...
Copy !req
380. Because I wanted some
really bad kids to like me.
Copy !req
381. Somehow I got the idea
that being popular
Copy !req
382. was the most important
thing in the world.
Copy !req
383. Where did you get
a ridiculous idea like that?
Copy !req
384. Lay off the boy, Marge.
Copy !req
385. He's a good kid.
Copy !req
386. Quit giving him the third degree.
Copy !req
387. Homer, did you
have something to do with this?
Copy !req
388. Well, maybe
I am a little responsible.
Copy !req
389. - A little?
- Come on, son.
Copy !req
390. Let's take the head thing
back to the authorities.
Copy !req
391. You know, Bart,
when I was your age,
Copy !req
392. I pulled a few boners.
Copy !req
393. But I think you'll find that
people are pretty decent
Copy !req
394. - if you give them half...
- Look! There it is...
Copy !req
395. - The head!
- Kill 'em!
Copy !req
396. - All right. All right.
- All right, already.
Copy !req
397. - We know this part.
- Yeah, right.
Copy !req
398. Well, that's my story.
Copy !req
399. And if you still wanna tear apart
Copy !req
400. this young Sunday school student
Copy !req
401. as he stands on the brink of salvation,
Copy !req
402. I await your wrath.
But I'd like to add one thing:
Copy !req
403. it wasn't until I removed
the head of Jebediah Springfield
Copy !req
404. that we realized we were
taking our heritage for granted.
Copy !req
405. That was a crime too.
Copy !req
406. One I think we are all guilty of.
Copy !req
407. - Well, the kid's got us there.
- Hey, he's right.
Copy !req
408. Got a point there.
Copy !req
409. And I know that I'll always feel
an inner shame far greater
Copy !req
410. than any punishment you could dish out.
Far, far greater.
Copy !req
411. Far, far, far, far greater.
Copy !req
412. Aw!
Copy !req
413. Somehow I don't feel
like killing anymore.
Copy !req
414. Neither do I.
Copy !req
415. Dad.
Copy !req
416. Forgive me, sir.
Copy !req
417. No problem, Bart.
Copy !req
418. Look!
It's glorious.
Copy !req
419. It's beautiful, man.
Copy !req
420. I love you, Smithers.
Copy !req
421. The feeling is more than mutual, sir.
Copy !req
422. Whoo!
Copy !req
423. Shh!
