1. D'
Copy !req
2. Aah!
Copy !req
3. And now, to top off
Copy !req
4. our most propane explosion-free
science week ever,
Copy !req
5. our grand finale: the launching
of a weather balloon.
Copy !req
6. Go, weather balloon!
Hurrah for science! Whoo!
Copy !req
7. Hurrah for science? Whoo?
Copy !req
8. Well, I can't say
I approve of the whoo,
Copy !req
9. but the hurrah
was quite heartening.
Copy !req
10. Release the balloon.
Copy !req
11. No!
Copy !req
12. I don't think
I really captured the eyes.
Copy !req
13. Bart, if you have a failing,
Copy !req
14. it's that you're
always demanding perfection.
Copy !req
15. If you have a failing.
Copy !req
16. Whoever brings down that balloon
Copy !req
17. doesn't have to learn fractions!
Copy !req
18. Careful, children.
That's my car.
Copy !req
19. Ha ha!
Copy !req
20. Destroy that balloon.
Copy !req
21. Aye.
Copy !req
22. Tango 14, we're being fired at.
Copy !req
23. I'm getting an exact I.D.
on the bogey now.
Copy !req
24. Iraqis again.
Copy !req
25. Launching sidewinder missile.
Copy !req
26. Missed him.
Copy !req
27. Launching second
sidewinder missile.
Copy !req
28. This is what happens
Copy !req
29. when you cut money
out of the military
Copy !req
30. and put it into health care!
Copy !req
31. It's a good program!
Copy !req
32. Just give it a chance.
That's all I ask!
Copy !req
33. It won't come down for months.
Copy !req
34. Curse the man
who invented helium.
Copy !req
35. Curse Pierre-Jules-Cesar
Janssen.
Copy !req
36. Now to find out who did this.
Copy !req
37. Bart, empty your pockets.
Copy !req
38. Empty my pockets, you say?
Copy !req
39. Well, certainly, but I fail
Copy !req
40. to see how...
Copy !req
41. Blueprints of the dummy,
Copy !req
42. notarized photos
of you making the dummy,
Copy !req
43. and an alternate wording
for the banner... Buttzilla.
Copy !req
44. Race you to Utah, Milhouse.
Copy !req
45. Okay.
Copy !req
46. I am going to punish you
for this, Bart.
Copy !req
47. And it won't just be
a simple caning this time.
Copy !req
48. Because you have impeded
science,
Copy !req
49. you must now aid science.
Copy !req
50. Yes. Starting tomorrow,
you will assist me
Copy !req
51. with my amateur astronomy,
taking down coordinates,
Copy !req
52. carrying equipment,
and so forth.
Copy !req
53. 4:30 in the morning.
Copy !req
54. There's a 4:30
in the morning now?
Copy !req
55. Top of the hour,
time for the morning news.
Copy !req
56. But of course,
there is no news yet.
Copy !req
57. Everyone's still asleep
in their comfy, comfy beds.
Copy !req
58. Good night, everybody.
Copy !req
59. Mom, will you make me breakfast?
Copy !req
60. There's a stuffed pepper in
the trash from last night.
Copy !req
61. Just rinse it good.
Copy !req
62. Come home, Lassie!
Copy !req
63. Here, boy!
Copy !req
64. Come on, girl!
Copy !req
65. Attaboy!
Copy !req
66. It's still dark.
Copy !req
67. Better use the generator.
Copy !req
68. There's nothing
more exciting than science.
Copy !req
69. You get all the fun
of sitting still,
Copy !req
70. being quiet,
writing down numbers,
Copy !req
71. paying attention.
Copy !req
72. Science has it all.
Copy !req
73. Is that the telescope we're
gonna be looking through?
Copy !req
74. Yes, but you won't
be looking through it.
Copy !req
75. I forbid it.
Copy !req
76. But you don't need a telescope
to enjoy astronomy, Bart.
Copy !req
77. There are all the constellations
you've heard so much about.
Copy !req
78. There's Orion, the Swan,
the Chariot Race.
Copy !req
79. Why don't they look anything
like their names?
Copy !req
80. Well, you do have
to use your imagination.
Copy !req
81. Look, there's
the three wise men.
Copy !req
82. Who names these things, anyway?
Copy !req
83. Whoever discovers them.
Copy !req
84. I've been hoping
I could find something
Copy !req
85. that would be named after me.
Copy !req
86. And you've never found anything?
Copy !req
87. Once, but by the time
I got to a phone
Copy !req
88. my discovery
had already been reported
Copy !req
89. by Principal Kahoutek.
Copy !req
90. I got back at him, though.
Copy !req
91. Him and that little boy of his.
Copy !req
92. Anyway, that's why I always keep
Copy !req
93. a cellular phone next to me.
Copy !req
94. Now, this morning,
we're gonna be mapping
Copy !req
95. a small square of sky
that's thought to be empty.
Copy !req
96. It's my hope that it's not.
Copy !req
97. So, what am I supposed
to do exactly?
Copy !req
98. Just write down my findings
as I give them to you.
Copy !req
99. Six hours,
19 minutes right ascension
Copy !req
100. 14 degrees,
22 minutes declination...
Copy !req
101. No sighting.
Copy !req
102. Six hours, 19 minutes,
right ascension,
Copy !req
103. 14 degrees,
23 minutes declination...
Copy !req
104. No sighting.
Copy !req
105. Six hours, 19 minutes
right ascension,
Copy !req
106. 14 degrees,
58 minutes declination...
Copy !req
107. No sighting.
Did you get that one, Bart?
Copy !req
108. - Hell, no.
- Good.
Copy !req
109. My stars!
Give me the phone quick!
Copy !req
110. Check out 6-19-14-59.
Copy !req
111. No. No, there's no need
for that.
Copy !req
112. It's already named after me.
Copy !req
113. It's getting pretty close
to the ground.
Copy !req
114. Maybe I can catch it.
Copy !req
115. Don't touch the telescope, Bart.
Copy !req
116. Even a slight change
in elevation
Copy !req
117. can destroy
a whole morning's work.
Copy !req
118. Whoo! All hands on deck!
Copy !req
119. Pirates off the port bow!
Copy !req
120. Hey.
Copy !req
121. Observatory?
This is Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
122. I see something in the sky
at 4-12-8
Copy !req
123. and the last number is seven.
Copy !req
124. Got you, my rumpy doppelganger.
Copy !req
125. I've got it. Hey...
Copy !req
126. What are you doing?
Give me that phone.
Copy !req
127. Congratulations, Bart.
Copy !req
128. You've just discovered a comet.
Copy !req
129. No!
Copy !req
130. No!
Copy !req
131. No!
Copy !req
132. And then I sped away
Copy !req
133. without anyone seeing
my license plate.
Copy !req
134. Sounds like you had
a good day today, Dad.
Copy !req
135. Yeah, except I forgot
to go to work.
Copy !req
136. What did you do today, Bart?
Copy !req
137. What didn't I do?
Copy !req
138. "Boy discovers comet."
Copy !req
139. What?
Copy !req
140. "A young Springfieldianite
Copy !req
141. "has discovered a new comet
Copy !req
142. to be known as
the Bart Simpson comet."
Copy !req
143. Honey, I'm so proud of you.
Copy !req
144. But then, you've always
been proud of me.
Copy !req
145. Yes.
Copy !req
146. Won't you join us, Bart?
Copy !req
147. I guess so.
Copy !req
148. As the first student
Copy !req
149. at Springfield Elementary
to discover a comet,
Copy !req
150. we're very proud
to make you a member
Copy !req
151. of our very select group.
Copy !req
152. Welcome to Super Friends.
Copy !req
153. Welcome, super friend.
Copy !req
154. I am called Ham,
since I enjoy ham radio.
Copy !req
155. This is E-mail,
Copy !req
156. Cosine,
Copy !req
157. Report Card,
Copy !req
158. Database,
Copy !req
159. and Lisa.
Copy !req
160. Your nickname will be Cosmos.
Copy !req
161. Well, I'm done eating.
Good-bye.
Copy !req
162. Good-bye, Cosmos.
Copy !req
163. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
164. Perhaps some night you
could show us your comet.
Copy !req
165. There it is right there.
Copy !req
166. I make it a point
never to turn my head
Copy !req
167. unless I expect
to see something, Bart.
Copy !req
168. Naturally, we can't see
your comet in broad daylight,
Copy !req
169. and without a telescope.
Copy !req
170. But you don't need
a stupid telescope.
Copy !req
171. It's right there.
Copy !req
172. No, no, no.
Copy !req
173. This isn't right at all.
Copy !req
174. It must be coming toward us
at a fantastic speed.
Copy !req
175. Don't you realize what's happening, Bart?
Copy !req
176. Your comet is gonna
collide with the earth,
Copy !req
177. and every living thing
in its path will be killed.
Copy !req
178. I knew you'd try
to find something wrong
Copy !req
179. with my comet, Lisa.
Copy !req
180. You've always been
petty and small,
Copy !req
181. right from the beginning.
Copy !req
182. We must alert
the proper authorities.
Copy !req
183. To the observatory!
Copy !req
184. We are the Super Friends!
Copy !req
185. Hey, shut up.
Copy !req
186. Dear God!
Copy !req
187. Warren, we've talked about you
Copy !req
188. hogging the eyepiece.
Copy !req
189. Sounds like
the doomsday whistle.
Copy !req
190. Ain't been blown
for nigh on to three years.
Copy !req
191. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Trouble a-brewing.
Copy !req
192. Fellow citizens,
Copy !req
193. when I learned
about the impending crisis,
Copy !req
194. I caught the very next plane
to Springfeld... Field.
Copy !req
195. First of all, yes,
there is a comet in the sky,
Copy !req
196. and, yes, it is going
to hit Springfield.
Copy !req
197. You, don't need to applaud that.
Copy !req
198. Now, here's what we think
the impact might look like.
Copy !req
199. Show them, Jerry.
Copy !req
200. Dear God, no!
Copy !req
201. Fortunately, we have a plan.
Copy !req
202. - Professor Frink.
- Good evening, ladies and...
Copy !req
203. Quit stalling!
What's the plan?
Copy !req
204. All right, just take your seat.
Just take your seat.
Copy !req
205. Now, working with former
Carter administration officials
Copy !req
206. and military men who were
forced into early retirement
Copy !req
207. for various reasons which we
won't go into here,
Copy !req
208. we have planned
this defense for the city.
Copy !req
209. As the comet hurtles
toward the city
Copy !req
210. our rocket will intercept it
and blow it to smithereens. Hey!
Copy !req
211. Dear God, no!
Copy !req
212. And that will be the end
of our Mr. Comet.
Copy !req
213. Yay! We're saved!
Copy !req
214. Will you all stop worrying
about that stupid comet?
Copy !req
215. It's going to be destroyed.
Copy !req
216. Didn't you hear what the guy
in the building said?
Copy !req
217. - But Dad, don't you think...
- Lisa.
Copy !req
218. The whole reason we
have elected officials
Copy !req
219. is so we don't have
to think all the time.
Copy !req
220. Just like that rain forest
scare a few years back.
Copy !req
221. Our officials saw
there was a problem
Copy !req
222. and they fixed it, didn't they?
Copy !req
223. No, Dad, I don't think...
Copy !req
224. There's that word again.
Copy !req
225. Homer, what if this
doesn't work?
Copy !req
226. Well, then,
I have a backup plan.
Copy !req
227. See, while the unprepared
Copy !req
228. are still sitting around
twiddling their thumbs
Copy !req
229. and going...
Copy !req
230. Dad, the plan!
Copy !req
231. I'm getting to that.
Copy !req
232. So, anyway, they're going...
Copy !req
233. - Dad!
- So, anyway, we get in our car
Copy !req
234. and take the bridge out of town,
Copy !req
235. while all the while,
they're still going...
Copy !req
236. Dad, they're firing the rocket!
Copy !req
237. All right!
Copy !req
238. It blew up the bridge!
Copy !req
239. We're doomed!
Copy !req
240. It's times like this
Copy !req
241. I wish I were a religious man.
Copy !req
242. It's all over, people!
Copy !req
243. We don't have a prayer!
Copy !req
244. And like Icarus,
Copy !req
245. the rocket foolishly soared
Copy !req
246. too high and lost control of
its servo-guidance mechanism
Copy !req
247. leaving us with some...
six hours to live.
Copy !req
248. So, let's go live now
Copy !req
249. to the charred remains
of the only bridge out of town
Copy !req
250. with Arnie Pie
and Arnie in the Sky.
Copy !req
251. With the bridge gone
and the airport
Copy !req
252. unfortunately on the other
side of the bridge,
Copy !req
253. a number of citizens
are attempting
Copy !req
254. to jump the gorge
with their cars.
Copy !req
255. It's a silent testament
to the "Never give up
Copy !req
256. and never think things out"
spirit of our citizens.
Copy !req
257. With our utter
annihilation imminent,
Copy !req
258. our federal government
has snapped into action.
Copy !req
259. We go live now, via satellite,
Copy !req
260. to the floor of the
United States congress.
Copy !req
261. Then it is unanimous, we are
going to approve the bill
Copy !req
262. to evacuate the town
of Springfield
Copy !req
263. in the great state of...
Copy !req
264. Wait a second, I want to tack on
a rider to that bill.
Copy !req
265. $30 million of taxpayer money
to support the perverted arts.
Copy !req
266. All in favor of the amended
Springfield/pervert bill?
Copy !req
267. Bill defeated.
Copy !req
268. I've said it before,
and I'll say it again:
Copy !req
269. Democracy simply doesn't work.
Copy !req
270. Now, over the years,
Copy !req
271. a newsman learns
a number of things
Copy !req
272. that for one reason or another,
he just cannot report.
Copy !req
273. It doesn't seem to matter now,
Copy !req
274. so the following people are gay:
Copy !req
275. Turn it off.
Copy !req
276. Just a second.
Copy !req
277. What's everyone
so worked up about?
Copy !req
278. So there's a comet.
Big deal.
Copy !req
279. It'll burn up in our atmosphere,
and what's ever left
Copy !req
280. will be no bigger
than a Chihuahua's head.
Copy !req
281. Wow, Dad, maybe you're right.
Copy !req
282. Of course I'm right.
Copy !req
283. If I'm not, may we all be
Copy !req
284. horribly crushed
from above somehow.
Copy !req
285. Okay, if you're
that worried about it,
Copy !req
286. let's go down
to the bomb shelter.
Copy !req
287. We have a bomb shelter?
Copy !req
288. Homer Simpson takes
care of his family.
Copy !req
289. Flanders, open up!
Copy !req
290. Hi-dee-ho-a-rooney, neighbor.
Copy !req
291. - What can I do you for?
- Get out of there.
Copy !req
292. - My family needs to use your bomb shelter.
- Homer!
Copy !req
293. I kind of figured
this might happen,
Copy !req
294. so I built the shelter
big enough for both our families.
Copy !req
295. No deal. Out.
Copy !req
296. Get in the shelter, Homer.
Copy !req
297. One more hour.
Copy !req
298. An hour?
Copy !req
299. I can't wait another hour.
Copy !req
300. What's keeping
that stupid comet?
Copy !req
301. There it is.
Copy !req
302. Well, howdely-doodely, neighbors.
Copy !req
303. Shouldn't you be in
your shelterinis by now?
Copy !req
304. We haven't got shelterinis.
Copy !req
305. We want in yours.
Copy !req
306. Well, sorry.
Copy !req
307. The shelter's kind of full.
Copy !req
308. Really?
Copy !req
309. Well, we'll just go off
someplace and die then.
Copy !req
310. Thanks.
Copy !req
311. Wait!
Copy !req
312. You know, I may regret this
when our air runs out
Copy !req
313. and we can't whistle
or stay alive, but...
Copy !req
314. What the hey.
Copy !req
315. I can't... get the...
Copy !req
316. I can't get the door closed.
Copy !req
317. Somebody's going
to have to get out.
Copy !req
318. I'd get out,
but I don't know where I am.
Copy !req
319. Hey, somebody's touching me.
Copy !req
320. - I am.
- Okay.
Copy !req
321. Okay, okay, let's figure out
who should stay.
Copy !req
322. Let's see. The world
of the future will need laughter,
Copy !req
323. so I'm in.
Copy !req
324. And they'll need somebody
to dispense drinks...
Copy !req
325. I.E., me.
Copy !req
326. And someone will have
to run the power.
Copy !req
327. You can do that, Homer.
Copy !req
328. Yeah.
Copy !req
329. I can do that.
Copy !req
330. Okay, let's start again.
Copy !req
331. We'll need laughter,
religious enlightenment,
Copy !req
332. gossip...
That's Mrs. Lovejoy.
Copy !req
333. Wait a minute, we all know the one thing
we won't need in the future...
Copy !req
334. Left-handed stores.
Copy !req
335. That's you, Flanders.
Copy !req
336. I'm terribly sorry.
Copy !req
337. Flanders is the only
useless person here.
Copy !req
338. If anyone dies,
it should be him.
Copy !req
339. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
340. Please forgive me.
Copy !req
341. So let's kick Flanders out.
Copy !req
342. Sorry.
Copy !req
343. Well, sir, sounds fair.
Copy !req
344. Toodle-oo, everybody.
Copy !req
345. I'll scream when
the comet gets here.
Copy !req
346. I'm coming with you, Neddy.
Copy !req
347. No, sweetheart.
Copy !req
348. You... You stay
here because...
Copy !req
349. Okay.
Copy !req
350. I might go mad with fear
out there,
Copy !req
351. so, Todd, I want you
to shoot Daddy
Copy !req
352. if he tries to get back in.
Copy !req
353. Okay, Dad.
Copy !req
354. Okay.
Copy !req
355. Hey, I got an idea.
Copy !req
356. We can play a game
to pass the time.
Copy !req
357. I'll make the sound
of a barnyard animal,
Copy !req
358. and you all try
to guess what it is.
Copy !req
359. - It's a pig.
- It's a cow, man.
Copy !req
360. - It's a pony.
- No, it's a goat.
Copy !req
361. You know,
one of them lady goats.
Copy !req
362. There are no lady goats.
A lady goat is a sheep.
Copy !req
363. - I believe she's right.
- You're crazy.
Copy !req
364. - Arr! What's it to you?
- What's it to me?
Copy !req
365. It's a pony.
Copy !req
366. Stop it! Stop it!
Copy !req
367. Can't you see this
barnyard noise guessing game
Copy !req
368. is tearing us apart?
Copy !req
369. Say, Moe, was it a duck?
Copy !req
370. No, no! Shut up! Shut up!
Copy !req
371. Stop it, stop it!
Copy !req
372. I can't take this anymore.
Copy !req
373. I can't let that brave man
out there die alone.
Copy !req
374. I'm surprised and disgusted
by all of you.
Copy !req
375. Especially his children.
Copy !req
376. I'm going out there.
Copy !req
377. And it was a baby ox.
Copy !req
378. He's right, you know.
Copy !req
379. About the ox?
Copy !req
380. About everything, damn it!
Copy !req
381. Hey, Homer, wait up.
Copy !req
382. I want to die too.
Copy !req
383. - If you are going, I am going.
- Me too.
Copy !req
384. I'm outta here. Make way.
Copy !req
385. Radio reception in there sucked.
Copy !req
386. Run!
Copy !req
387. - Look!
- It's breaking up!
Copy !req
388. Cool.
Copy !req
389. We're saved.
Copy !req
390. Sure makes you appreciate
Copy !req
391. the preciousness of life.
Copy !req
392. Let's go burn down
the observatory
Copy !req
393. so this'll never happen again.
Copy !req
394. I can't believe that extra-thick
layer of pollution
