1. ( clears throat )
Hello everyone.
Copy !req
2. You know, Halloween
is a very strange holiday.
Copy !req
3. Personally,
I don't understand it.
Copy !req
4. Kids worshipping ghosts,
pretending to be devils..
Copy !req
5. Things on TV that
are completely inappropriate
Copy !req
6. for younger viewers.
Copy !req
7. Things like
the following half-hour.
Copy !req
8. Nothing seems to bother my kids
Copy !req
9. but tonight's show—
Copy !req
10. which I totally
wash my hands of—
Copy !req
11. is really scary.
Copy !req
12. So, if you have
sensitive children
Copy !req
13. maybe you should tuck them
into bed early tonight
Copy !req
14. instead of writing us
angry letters tomorrow.
Copy !req
15. Thanks for your attention.
Copy !req
16. Ooh, what a haul this year.
Copy !req
17. I love Halloween.
Copy !req
18. Heh, heh.
Copy !req
19. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
20. Let's see what
the kids are up to.
Copy !req
21. and the policeman on the
other end of the phone said
Copy !req
22. "We have traced the call.
Copy !req
23. "It's coming from the floor
below you.
Copy !req
24. "Get out of the house!"
Copy !req
25. But it was too late.
Copy !req
26. End of story.
Copy !req
27. Yawn..I heard that
when I was in third grade.
Copy !req
28. It's not scary.
Copy !req
29. Is too!
Copy !req
30. Is not.
Copy !req
31. Is too!
Copy !req
32. - Is not!
- Is too.
Copy !req
33. Fine.
Copy !req
34. Then you tell one scarier.
Copy !req
35. Flashlight, please.
Copy !req
36. Here's a story
that's really scarifying.
Copy !req
37. Oh, brother.
Copy !req
38. I call it...
Copy !req
39. That's all of it.
Copy !req
40. Sign here.
Copy !req
41. There you are, my man
Copy !req
42. and a dollar
for yourself.
Copy !req
43. A buck.
Copy !req
44. I'm glad there's a curse
on this place.
Copy !req
45. Well, it's all ours.
Copy !req
46. I still can't believe
how inexpensive it was.
Copy !req
47. Motivated seller, Marge.
Copy !req
48. He certainly
must have been motivated.
Copy !req
49. Prime location,
18 bedrooms, a moat.
Copy !req
50. We shouldn't be able
to afford this.
Copy !req
51. So we got a good deal
for once.
Copy !req
52. Quit fighting it.
Copy !req
53. It just seems too good
to be true.
Copy !req
54. Ow! Mom, Bart threw
a book at me!
Copy !req
55. Did not.
Copy !req
56. Did too!
Copy !req
57. Did not!
Copy !req
58. Did too!
Copy !req
59. Male voice:
Get out!
Copy !req
60. What on Earth was that?
Copy !req
61. Probably just
the house settling.
Copy !req
62. Hmm, this kitchen certainly
could use a woman's touch.
Copy !req
63. Homer!
Copy !req
64. What's this thing
in the corner?
I dunno.
Copy !req
65. It looks like a vortex—
Copy !req
66. a gateway
into another dimension.
Copy !req
67. Ooh, a vortex.
Copy !req
68. Catch!
Copy !req
69. Hey, pretty slick.
Copy !req
70. Huh?
Copy !req
71. "Quit throwing your garbage
into our dimension."
Copy !req
72. Mom, Dad
Copy !req
73. Help!
Copy !req
74. Get out.
Copy !req
75. Okay, boy, let's see you
talk yourself out of this one.
Copy !req
76. I can feel an evil presence
in this house.
Copy !req
77. Evil?
Copy !req
78. Quiet, Lisa.
Copy !req
79. You're scaring
your mother.
Copy !req
80. Children,
get your coats.
Copy !req
81. We're leaving
this house right now.
Copy !req
82. Wait a minute, Marge.
Copy !req
83. It's only natural there
would be some things wrong
Copy !req
84. with an old house
like this.
Copy !req
85. It's a fixer-upper.
Copy !req
86. What's the problem?
We get a bunch of priests
in here...
Copy !req
87. I'm not going to live
in a house of evil just
to save a few dollars.
Copy !req
88. Don't be so stubborn!
Copy !req
89. We're not talking about
a few dollars.
Copy !req
90. We're talking about
a few thousand dollars!
Copy !req
91. It's got great
Copy !req
92. high ceilings.
Copy !req
93. Tell you what,
let's sleep on it, okay?
Copy !req
94. All right,
but if anything happens...
Copy !req
95. What could happen?
Copy !req
96. Mmm...
Copy !req
97. male voice:
They are all against you, Bart.
Copy !req
98. You must kill them all.
Copy !req
99. They all must die.
Copy !req
100. Are you my conscience?
Copy !req
101. I...
Copy !req
102. Yes, I am.
Copy !req
103. Lisa, Lisa.
Copy !req
104. The butcher knife, Lisa.
Copy !req
105. They are all against me.
Copy !req
106. They all must die.
Copy !req
107. Marge.
Copy !req
108. Oh, Marge?
Copy !req
109. I'm in the kitchen, Homer.
Copy !req
110. Die!
Copy !req
111. Die!
Copy !req
112. Everybody, die.
Copy !req
113. What's going on
out here?
Copy !req
114. Homer, Bart, Lisa, Maggie,
stop it!
Copy !req
115. Sorry, Mom.
Sorry, Bart.
Sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
116. That does it.
Copy !req
117. Children, get dressed.
We're leaving.
Copy !req
118. C'mon Marge, you said
you'd sleep on it.
Copy !req
119. I don't care what I said.
Copy !req
120. This family has had its
differences, and we've squabbled
Copy !req
121. but we never had
knife fights before
Copy !req
122. and I blame this house.
Copy !req
123. Mom, Dad, look!
Copy !req
124. It's an ancient
Indian burial ground.
Copy !req
125. Man, this place
has got everything.
Copy !req
126. An ancient Indian what?
Copy !req
127. Mr. Plute, Homer Simpson here.
Copy !req
128. When you sold me this house
Copy !req
129. you forgot to mention
one little thing.
Copy !req
130. You didn't tell me it was built
on an Indian burial ground!
Copy !req
131. No, you didn't!
Copy !req
132. Well, that's not
my recollection.
Copy !req
133. Yeah, well...
all right, good-bye.
Copy !req
134. He says he mentioned it
five or six times.
Copy !req
135. Let's go, children.
Copy !req
136. Aw, gee, Marge.
Copy !req
137. Homer.
Copy !req
138. You will die.
Copy !req
139. You will die slowly.
Copy !req
140. Your stomach will swell.
Copy !req
141. Your intestines
will rise and boil.
Copy !req
142. Your eyes will burst
Copy !req
143. and some horrible stuff—
Copy !req
144. possibly your brains—
Copy !req
145. will start coming out
through your nose.
Copy !req
146. Shush!
Copy !req
147. Shut up!
Copy !req
148. Quit trying to push us around!
Copy !req
149. Stop saying
those horrible things
Copy !req
150. and show some manners!
Copy !req
151. Look at me.
I've never been so angry.
Copy !req
152. My hands are shaking.
Copy !req
153. Better than
your eyes bursting.
Copy !req
154. - Do it again.
- What?
Copy !req
155. Make the walls bleed.
Copy !req
156. No.
Copy !req
157. Hey, man, we own you.
Copy !req
158. Let's see some blood.
Copy !req
159. I don't have to entertain you.
Copy !req
160. Come on, man, do it.
Copy !req
161. Do the blood thing.
Copy !req
162. C'mon! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Copy !req
163. Why are you trying to scare us?
Copy !req
164. Are you trying to keep us
from getting close to you?
Maybe even loving you?
Copy !req
165. Leave me alone.
Copy !req
166. Don't talk to her
like that.
Copy !req
167. Hey listen, lady...
Copy !req
168. Don't call me lady.
Copy !req
169. My name is Marge Simpson.
Copy !req
170. This is my family
and we're not going anywhere.
Copy !req
171. We're all going
to have to live together
Copy !req
172. so you better get used to it.
Please.
Copy !req
173. Can I have a minute
to think about this?
Copy !req
174. Sure.
Copy !req
175. Hmm...
Copy !req
176. Life with the Simpsons.
Copy !req
177. What choice do I have?
Copy !req
178. Wow.
Copy !req
179. Bitchin'!
Copy !req
180. It chose to destroy itself
Copy !req
181. rather than live with us.
Copy !req
182. You can't help
but feel a little rejected.
Copy !req
183. That wasn't scary at all, Bart.
Copy !req
184. Oh yeah? Well how about...
this severed finger?
Copy !req
185. Eww, baby spit.
Copy !req
186. Well that last story
was just a warm-up
Copy !req
187. for this macabre tale
Copy !req
188. which I call...
Copy !req
189. Homer, all these flies.
Copy !req
190. Not to worry.
Copy !req
191. I'll just turn on
the trusty bug zapper.
Copy !req
192. Ooh, that was a big mama.
Copy !req
193. That should just about do it.
Copy !req
194. Man alive,
there's nothing better
Copy !req
195. than a hamburger grilled
to perfection...
Copy !req
196. Cool, man!
Copy !req
197. Your burgers
are getting cold...
Copy !req
198. Holy moly.
Copy !req
199. Huh?
Copy !req
200. Greetings, Earthlings.
Copy !req
201. I am Kang.
Copy !req
202. Do not be frightened.
Copy !req
203. We mean you
no harm.
Copy !req
204. You speak
English.
Copy !req
205. I am actually
speaking Rigellian.
Copy !req
206. By an astonishing
coincidence
Copy !req
207. both of our languages
are exactly the same.
Copy !req
208. Well what are you gonna
do with us, man?
Copy !req
209. Kodos and I are taking you
to Rigel Four—
Copy !req
210. a world of infinite delights
to tantalize your senses
Copy !req
211. and challenge
your intellectual limitations.
Copy !req
212. Look, I know that to you
Copy !req
213. we Simpsons
are a lower order of life.
Copy !req
214. We face that prejudice
every day of our lives,
Copy !req
215. but we are happy
on our little planet.
Copy !req
216. We throw ourselves
on your mercy.
Please return us to...
Copy !req
217. Dinnertime.
Copy !req
218. Hey, get a load
of that spread.
Copy !req
219. Here you go, Earthlings.
Take all you want,
but eat all you take.
Copy !req
220. Thank you very much, mister..?
Copy !req
221. To pronounce it correctly
Copy !req
222. I would have to pull out
your tongue.
Copy !req
223. Eww.
Copy !req
224. Fried shrimp.
Copy !req
225. Sloppy Joes.
Copy !req
226. Smothered pork chops.
Copy !req
227. Look Homer, radish rosettes.
Copy !req
228. These are hard to make.
Copy !req
229. They're a very advanced race.
Copy !req
230. Come, Earthlings, eat.
Copy !req
231. Grow large with food.
Copy !req
232. There's something
not quite right about this.
Copy !req
233. The girl's right.
Copy !req
234. Let's get some apple sauce
out here for these pork chops.
Copy !req
235. What are you
looking at, buddy?
Copy !req
236. Your wife is
quite a dish.
Copy !req
237. Ooh, thanks.
Copy !req
238. It is our great pleasure
to provide you
Copy !req
239. with unlimited entertainment
on your intergalactic journey.
Copy !req
240. On this cable system
we receive over one million
Copy !req
241. channels from the furthest
reaches of the galaxy.
Copy !req
242. You get H.B.O.?
Copy !req
243. No. That would cost extra.
Copy !req
244. Here is
our crowning achievement
Copy !req
245. in amusement technology—
an electronic version
Copy !req
246. of what you call
table tennis.
Copy !req
247. Your paddles
have been replaced
by an electronic...
Copy !req
248. That's just Pong.
Copy !req
249. Get with the times, man.
Copy !req
250. Marge and I played that old
game before we were married.
Copy !req
251. We did build this
spaceship, you know.
Copy !req
252. Anyone from a species
Copy !req
253. that has mastered
intergalactic travel
Copy !req
254. raise your hand.
Copy !req
255. All right, then.
Copy !req
256. Sorry.
Copy !req
257. Your game is very nice.
Copy !req
258. Dinnertime.
Copy !req
259. Hey, how come we
never see you guys eat?
Copy !req
260. Oh, we wouldn't
want to spoil our appetite
Copy !req
261. for the great feast
when we land on Rigel Four.
Copy !req
262. Ooh, a feast!
Copy !req
263. Will we be invited?
Copy !req
264. Oh, you'll be at the feast.
Copy !req
265. I have a feeling
you'll be the guests of honor.
Copy !req
266. Tell us more about this feast.
Copy !req
267. No, no, eat now.
Copy !req
268. When we arrive
Copy !req
269. there will be
plenty of time
Copy !req
270. to chew the fat.
Copy !req
271. Very good, Earth boy.
Copy !req
272. Excellent, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
273. Excellent.
Copy !req
274. This will give the humans
the perfect flavor.
Copy !req
275. Stop! Don't you see
Copy !req
276. what's happening here?
Copy !req
277. They're fattening us up
so they can eat us!
Copy !req
278. Oh, come on, Lisa.
Copy !req
279. If you don't believe me,
then just look at this book
that I found.
Copy !req
280. Look! She's right!
Copy !req
281. Humans, you have stopped eating.
Copy !req
282. Listen, you big, stupid
space creature.
Copy !req
283. Nobody, but nobody
eats the Simpsons.
Copy !req
284. I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
285. Don't play dumb with me.
Copy !req
286. We found your book.
Copy !req
287. You mean this?
Copy !req
288. It's a harmless cookbook.
Copy !req
289. It's just a little dusty.
Copy !req
290. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
291. Aha!
Copy !req
292. Wait.
Copy !req
293. There's still more space dust
on here.
Copy !req
294. Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
295. You thought...
Copy !req
296. They thought we were
going to eat them.
Copy !req
297. Good God, is this
some kind of joke?
Copy !req
298. No. They're serious.
Copy !req
299. Well why were you trying
to make us eat all the time?
Copy !req
300. Make you eat?
Copy !req
301. We merely provided
a sumptuous banquet
Copy !req
302. and, frankly, you people
made pigs of yourselves.
Copy !req
303. I slaved in the kitchen
for days
Copy !req
304. for you people and...
Copy !req
305. Well, if you wanted to make
Shiroc the Preparer cry
Copy !req
306. mission accomplished.
Copy !req
307. You aren't the only beings
who have emotions, you know.
Copy !req
308. We offered you paradise.
Copy !req
309. You would have
experienced emotions
Copy !req
310. 100 times greater
than what you call love
Copy !req
311. and 1000 times greater
than what you call fun.
Copy !req
312. You would have been treated
like gods
Copy !req
313. and lived forever
in beauty
Copy !req
314. but, now, because of
your distrustful nature
Copy !req
315. that can never be.
Copy !req
316. For a superior race,
they really rub it in.
Copy !req
317. There were monsters
on that ship
Copy !req
318. and truly we were them.
Copy !req
319. Lisa, see what we mean when
we say 'you're too smart for
your own good?'
Copy !req
320. Way to go, Lise.
Copy !req
321. Yeah, thanks, Lisa.
Copy !req
322. Hello.
Copy !req
323. Something scary happening.
Copy !req
324. Hey, poindexter,
it's Halloween.
Copy !req
325. Put the book away.
Copy !req
326. For your information
Copy !req
327. I'm about to read you
a classic tale of terror
Copy !req
328. by Edgar Allan Poe.
Copy !req
329. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
330. That's a school book.
Copy !req
331. Don't worry, Bart,
you won't learn anything.
Copy !req
332. It's called "The Raven".
Copy !req
333. "Once upon a midnight dreary
Copy !req
334. "While I pondered,
weak and weary
Copy !req
335. "over many
a quaint and curious volume
Copy !req
336. "of forgotten lore—
Copy !req
337. "while I nodded,
nearly napping
Copy !req
338. "suddenly there came a tapping
Copy !req
339. as of some one gently rapping
Copy !req
340. rapping at my chamber door.
Copy !req
341. 'Tis some visitor..."
Copy !req
342. I muttered,
Copy !req
343. "... tapping at my chamber door;
Copy !req
344. Only this, and nothing more."
Copy !req
345. Are we scared yet?
Copy !req
346. Bart, he's establishing mood.
Copy !req
347. "Ah, distinctly I remember
Copy !req
348. "it was in the bleak December
Copy !req
349. "and each separate dying ember
Copy !req
350. "wrought its ghost
upon the floor.
Copy !req
351. "Eagerly I wished the morrow;
Copy !req
352. "vainly I had sought to borrow
Copy !req
353. from my books
surcease of sorrow—"
Copy !req
354. Huh?
Copy !req
355. Sorrow for the lost Lenore—"
Copy !req
356. Oh, Lenore.
Copy !req
357. "For the rare
and radiant maiden
Copy !req
358. "whom the angels named Lenore—
Copy !req
359. nameless here forevermore."
Copy !req
360. Ah!
Copy !req
361. "And the silken, sad
Copy !req
362. "uncertain rustling
Copy !req
363. "of each purple curtain
thrilled me—
Copy !req
364. "Filled me
with fantastic terrors
Copy !req
365. "never felt before;
Copy !req
366. "so that now, to still
the beating of my heart
Copy !req
367. "I stood repeating
Copy !req
368. 'tis a visitor entreating
entrance at my chamber door;
Copy !req
369. This is it,
and nothing more.
Copy !req
370. "Presently my soul
grew stronger;
Copy !req
371. "hesitating then no longer
Copy !req
372. Sir..
Copy !req
373. "Said I
Copy !req
374. or madam
Copy !req
375. truly your forgiveness
I implore;
Copy !req
376. but the fact is,
I was napping
Copy !req
377. and so gently you came rapping
and so faintly you came tapping
Copy !req
378. tapping at my chamber door.
Copy !req
379. That I scarce
was sure I heard you.
Copy !req
380. "Here I opened wide the door;"
Copy !req
381. This better be good.
Copy !req
382. "Darkness there,
and nothing more."
Copy !req
383. Huh?
Copy !req
384. You know what would have been
scarier than nothing?
Copy !req
385. What?
Copy !req
386. Anything!
Copy !req
387. "Back into the chamber turning
Copy !req
388. "all my soul within me burning
Copy !req
389. "Soon again I heard a tapping,
something louder than before:
Copy !req
390. Surely
Copy !req
391. " said I
Copy !req
392. surely that is something
Copy !req
393. at my window-lattice;
Copy !req
394. Let me see then,
what thereat is
Copy !req
395. and this mystery explore.
Copy !req
396. "Open here I flung the shutter
Copy !req
397. "When, with many
a flirt and flutter
Copy !req
398. "in there stepped
a stately raven
Copy !req
399. "of the saintly days of yore.
Copy !req
400. "Not the least obeisance
made he;
Copy !req
401. "Not a minute
stopped or stayed he
Copy !req
402. "but with mien of lord or lady
perched above my chamber
door—
Copy !req
403. "Perched upon a bust of pallas
just above my chamber door—
Copy !req
404. "perched, and sat,
and nothing more.
Copy !req
405. Though thy crest
Copy !req
406. be shorn and shaven, thou
Copy !req
407. "I said
Copy !req
408. art sure no craven;
Copy !req
409. ghastly, grim and ancient raven
Copy !req
410. wandering from
the nightly shore
Copy !req
411. Tell me
Copy !req
412. tell me
what thy lordly name is
Copy !req
413. on the night's
Plutonian shore.
Copy !req
414. Quoth the raven..."
Copy !req
415. Eat my shorts.
Copy !req
416. Bart, stop it.
Copy !req
417. He says "Nevermore"
Copy !req
418. and that's all he'll ever say.
