1. The Simpsons
Copy !req
2. D'oh!
Copy !req
3. Oh, all these new superheroes suck.
Copy !req
4. None of them could hold a candle
to Radioactive Man.
Copy !req
5. The only decent new one
is Radiation Dude.
Copy !req
6. - He's a cheap imitation of Radioactive Man.
- Explain.
Copy !req
7. The similarities are subtle, but many.
Copy !req
8. For example, Radioactive Man has
his famous catchphrase, "Up and Atom!"
Copy !req
9. With "at 'em" spelled
A-T-O-M, in a delicious pun.
Copy !req
10. - Go on.
- While Radiation Dude has a similar...
Copy !req
11. but lamer catchphrase,
"Up and let's go!"
Copy !req
12. So you kids fancy
yourselves experts, eh?
Copy !req
13. Well, between us we've read
all 814 issues of Radioactive Man.
Copy !req
14. Yeah, and we both have a special,
limited-edition issue...
Copy !req
15. where he and Fallout Boy
get killed on every page.
Copy !req
16. I suppose you know then,
that Hollywood is planning...
Copy !req
17. a feature film
about Radioactive Man.
Copy !req
18. I have got to do something...
Copy !req
19. about that
air conditioner suction.
Copy !req
20. Who's gonna play Radioactive Man?
Copy !req
21. I will tell you in
exactly seven minutes.
Copy !req
22. Okay. Here we are.
Alt dot nerd dot obsessive.
Copy !req
23. Need know star R.M. pic.
Copy !req
24. Yeah, I don't see why Rainier Wolfcastle
should be the star.
Copy !req
25. I think we should
bring back Dirk Richter.
Copy !req
26. Kids will want to see
the original Radioactive Man.
Copy !req
27. I keep telling you,
he's 73 years old and he's dead.
Copy !req
28. - Granted, but-
- Besides, we want to stay as far away from...
Copy !req
29. the campy '70s version as possible.
Copy !req
30. Billowing backpacks,
Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
31. It's the worst villain of them all!
The Scoutmaster!
Copy !req
32. - I see him, Fallout Boy.
- Go get 'em, Scouts.
Copy !req
33. Don't be afraid to use your nails, boys!
Copy !req
34. So, where can we shoot this picture?
Copy !req
35. We need a city that has
a nuclear reactor and a gorge...
Copy !req
36. and can guarantee us the full cooperation
of city officials.
Copy !req
37. I'll check Variety.
Copy !req
38. Wow. Look at that ad.
Copy !req
39. All right, this place must be hot.
They don't need a big ad...
Copy !req
40. - or even correct spelling.
- I agree with that logic.
Copy !req
41. Get me two plane tickets
to the state that Springfield is in.
Copy !req
42. Right. We have $30 million to spend.
Copy !req
43. We'll blow up our dams,
destroy forests- anything!
Copy !req
44. If there's a species of animal
that's causing you problems...
Copy !req
45. nosing around your camera,
we'll have it wiped out!
Copy !req
46. Look, we just want to make movies,
not kill things.
Copy !req
47. Right. We understand.
Copy !req
48. Students, I have an announcement.
Copy !req
49. One of your favorite
comic book heroes, "Radio Man"-
Copy !req
50. Radioactive Man, stupid!
Copy !req
51. Strange. I shouldn't have been able to hear that.
Copy !req
52. Anyway, a Hollywood studio
has decided to film...
Copy !req
53. the Radioactive Man movie
here in Springfield.
Copy !req
54. And, they will be holding auditions
to find a local youngster...
Copy !req
55. to play Fallout Boy.
Copy !req
56. Oh, and the air conditioner
will be fixed this afternoon.
Copy !req
57. Look behind you,
Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
58. The sun is exploding again!
Copy !req
59. Bart, why are you
talking like that?
Copy !req
60. Yeah, and who the hell
are you talkin' to?
Copy !req
61. Marge, do you have other men
in this house? Radioactive men?
Copy !req
62. I'm practicing
my Fallout Boy dialogue.
Copy !req
63. If I get his role,
I could finally come to terms...
Copy !req
64. with this funny little
muddle called Bart.
Copy !req
65. Ev-er-y-one is...
Copy !req
66. talk-ing a-bout...
Copy !req
67. Ra-di-o-ac-tive M-an...
Copy !req
68. y'all.
Copy !req
69. Wow! You mean, you were one
of the original Little Rascals?
Copy !req
70. - Yeah.
- Which one were you? The ugly one?
Copy !req
71. - Were you the ugly one?
- No, I was the tough kid. Smelly.
Copy !req
72. My shtick was lookin' into an exhaust pipe
and gettin' a face full of soot.
Copy !req
73. Nobody could do that better than me.
Copy !req
74. Of course, it was kinda hard
to think of reasons...
Copy !req
75. for me to look in that exhaust pipe
every time...
Copy !req
76. but, you know,
we had good writers.
Copy !req
77. William Faulkner can write an exhaust pipe
gag that would really make you think.
Copy !req
78. If you were such a big shot,
why aren't you still makin' movies?
Copy !req
79. Moe? Moe!
Copy !req
80. - Oh, no! My favorite aggie!
- Oh!
Copy !req
81. Ha?
Copy !req
82. Hmm? Oh.
Copy !req
83. You stole my bit! You-That's my bit, you-
Copy !req
84. Oh, you stole my bit!
Copy !req
85. Cut.! Oh, my God.!
Copy !req
86. He's killed the original Alfalfa!
Copy !req
87. Yeah. Luckily, Alfalfa was an orphan,
owned by the studio.
Copy !req
88. - Oh, I see.
- Yeah. That makes sense.
Copy !req
89. With wealthy Hollywood
people on the way...
Copy !req
90. local merchants can be forgiven
for raising their prices a little.
Copy !req
91. Help me, Radioactive Man.
Copy !req
92. Watch out, Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
93. - Totally awesome.
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
94. It's all in the delivery.
"Now is the winter of our discontent"-
Copy !req
95. Oh, no! Run!
Copy !req
96. Cool! Yeah.
Copy !req
97. Mom!
Don't make me do this!
Copy !req
98. - I don't wanna be an actor.
- Nonsense. You're going to be great.
Copy !req
99. Now take off those glasses,
so they can see your beautiful eyes.
Copy !req
100. At last the world is safe,
eh, Fallout Boy?
Copy !req
101. - Watch out!
- Next!
Copy !req
102. Ha-ha!
Hey, that hurts.
Copy !req
103. No wonder no one came
to my birthday party.
Copy !req
104. At last the world is safe...
Copy !req
105. - eh, Fallout Boy?
- What's for lunch tomorrow?
Copy !req
106. - Next.
- Chicken necks?
Copy !req
107. We're never going to find-Wait a minute.
Copy !req
108. That child has the exact qualities we're
looking for.! He's perfect.! What is his name?
Copy !req
109. I don't know. He just came
along with one of the others.
Copy !req
110. - He didn't sign up officially.
- Oh, forget him then.
Copy !req
111. It wouldn't be fair to the other children
who filled out their application forms in full.
Copy !req
112. Next!
Copy !req
113. At last the world is safe,
eh, Fallout Boy?
Copy !req
114. Watch out, Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
115. - Brilliant reading. Again?
- Watch out, Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
116. Fantastic! One more time!
Copy !req
117. - Watch out, Radioactive Man!
- Congratulations, Bart Simpson.
Copy !req
118. You're our new Fallout Boy.!
Copy !req
119. That's what I'd be saying to you
if you weren't an inch too short. Next!
Copy !req
120. I've got to grow an inch by tomorrow,
or I won't get that part.
Copy !req
121. Pull, you mighty stallions,
pull! Show me no mercy!
Copy !req
122. Oh!
Copy !req
123. Oh, I only grew half an inch.
I'm still too short.
Copy !req
124. Growing half an inch in one day
is still pretty good, Bart.
Copy !req
125. Yeah, that's how fast
Grampa's shrinking.
Copy !req
126. Oh, I'm as tall as I ever was.
Copy !req
127. Is there any way I can look taller
without actually being taller?
Copy !req
128. Good news, gentlemen.
I've grown that extra inch you wanted.
Copy !req
129. - Plus several feet more.
- We found our new Fallout Boy!
Copy !req
130. And he's right over there.
Copy !req
131. Huh?
Copy !req
132. Ladies and gentlemen...
Copy !req
133. meet America's new Fallout Boy!
Copy !req
134. Out of the way. Milhouse, baby!
Copy !req
135. Lionel Hutz, your new agent, bodyguard,
unauthorized biographer and drug dealer-
Copy !req
136. uh, keeper-awayer.
Copy !req
137. Leave me alone! Mom! Dad!
Copy !req
138. Make 'em stop!
Copy !req
139. - What is all this stuff?
- Uh, we've heard you've become a star.
Copy !req
140. We decided we better start
living in the fast lane.
Copy !req
141. What if I'm not a success?
How will you pay for all this?
Copy !req
142. I'm sorry. I can't hear you, son.
Copy !req
143. I'm wearing a Jacuzzi suit.
Copy !req
144. I just missed out...
Copy !req
145. on the greatest opportunity
of my entire life.
Copy !req
146. George Burns was right.
Show business is a hideous bitch goddess.
Copy !req
147. Cheer up, Bart. Milhouse is still
gonna need a true friend.
Copy !req
148. Someone to tell him he's great.
Someone to rub lotion on him.
Copy !req
149. Someone he can hurl whiskey bottles at
when he's feeling low.
Copy !req
150. You're right, Lise.
I can suck up to him...
Copy !req
151. like the religious people
suck up to God!
Copy !req
152. Guess what, kids?
Copy !req
153. They're gonna pay us $50 a day
to film some of the movie here.
Copy !req
154. Ah, we'll run that cable through here.
Copy !req
155. Careful, now. Hey.
Copy !req
156. Didn't you direct
Unnatural Discretion?
Copy !req
157. Well, yes, I did.
Copy !req
158. Hoo-whee! Whoo! Oh!
Copy !req
159. You know, I never
walk out of a movie, but, yuck!
Copy !req
160. I've got an idea, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
161. Why don't you get somethin' to eat
from our food truck?
Copy !req
162. - Hey.!
- M-Mr. Simpson?
Copy !req
163. You've gotta give me
the part of Krispy the Clown!
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry!
You're wrong for the part.
Copy !req
165. But look at my range!
Copy !req
166. I'm sorry. Krispy the Clown
has been cast.
Copy !req
167. But I will hire you for Angry the Clown,
Silly Sailor and Dr. Clownius.
Copy !req
168. I won't let you down!
Copy !req
169. Well, I might let you down
on Silly Sailor.
Copy !req
170. - Up and atom.
- Up and at them.
Copy !req
171. - Up and atom!
- Up and at them!
Copy !req
172. - Up and atom!
- Up and at them!
Copy !req
173. Better.
Copy !req
174. Hi, Milhouse!
Hey, I want you to know...
Copy !req
175. that I'm glad at least
one of us got the part.
Copy !req
176. Milhouse!
Copy !req
177. I didn't do it.
I wished him well. I wished him well!
Copy !req
178. Stupid dummy wasn't
supposed to explode yet.
Copy !req
179. There's the real Milhouse.
Copy !req
180. Milhouse! Hey, you're not Milhouse.
Copy !req
181. No, I'm just Milhouse
when he gets hurt. Ohh!
Copy !req
182. Okay. Let's get the real Milhouse
over here, under the X-ray truck.
Copy !req
183. Hi, Bart.
Copy !req
184. Hey, cool, Milhouse.
You get to be crushed by a truck.
Copy !req
185. It sounds like more fun
than it really is.
Copy !req
186. Hey! I- I think I'm lying
on a broken bottle!
Copy !req
187. Beautiful! Use it. Okay.
Fallout Boy, origin scene, take one-
Copy !req
188. Action.!
Copy !req
189. - Up and at them.
- Thanks for the help, mysterious stranger.
Copy !req
190. Say. I think those X-rays
gave me super powers.
Copy !req
191. And... cut.! That was perfect.!
Let's do it again.
Copy !req
192. Uh, these aren't real X-rays, are they?
Copy !req
193. Good question!
We'll check into that.
Copy !req
194. Okay. X-ray machine
to full power, and... action!
Copy !req
195. Uh, sir, why don't you
just use real cows?
Copy !req
196. Cows don't look like cows on film.
You gotta use horses.
Copy !req
197. What do you do if you want something
that looks like a horse?
Copy !req
198. Uh, usually we just tape
a bunch of cats together.
Copy !req
199. - You guys work on the movie?
- You're sayin' we're not working?
Copy !req
200. Oh, I always wanted
to be a Teamster.
Copy !req
201. So lazy and surly.
Copy !req
202. Mind if I relax next to ya?
Copy !req
203. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
204. Oh, here he comes. What is it now, Quimby?
Copy !req
205. Nothing. Nothing.
Only the, uh, city has just passed...
Copy !req
206. another tax on puffy directing pants.
Copy !req
207. But I don't wear puffy pants!
Copy !req
208. I meant a, uh, tax on
not wearing puffy pants.
Copy !req
209. - Oy!
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
210. Wow! You've really got it
made now, Milhouse.
Copy !req
211. - This is living!
- Is it, Bart?
Copy !req
212. - Is it really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
213. Ever since I became a movie star,
I've been miserable.
Copy !req
214. I had to get up at 5:00 a. m.
just for makeup.
Copy !req
215. I like the way the blush brings out
my cheekbones, but it's not worth it.
Copy !req
216. And making movies is
so horribly repetitive.
Copy !req
217. I've said "jiminy jillickers" so many times,
the words have lost all meaning.
Copy !req
218. We've got to do the jiminy jillickers
scene again, Milhouse.
Copy !req
219. But we already did it.
It took seven hours, but we did it.
Copy !req
220. It's done.
Copy !req
221. Yes! But we've got to do it
from different angles.
Copy !req
222. Again and again!
And again and again and again!
Copy !req
223. Yeah!
Copy !req
224. Ach! I can't believe
Silly Sailor beat us both up...
Copy !req
225. - and imprisoned us in his floating Aquaworld.
- Jiminy jillickers!
Copy !req
226. There, now,
there's no need for profanity, Fallout Boy.
Copy !req
227. Everyone in town has been gouging us
silly, but it's worth it.
Copy !req
228. - It's all up there on the screen.
- Yes.
Copy !req
229. That Milhouse is going to be big.!
Gabby Hayes big!
Copy !req
230. Okay, listen up, everybody.
This is the hardest...
Copy !req
231. most expensive scene in the movie,
and we only get one shot at it.
Copy !req
232. So we have to do it right.
Fallout Boy will untie Radioactive Man...
Copy !req
233. and pull him to safety...
Copy !req
234. moments before he's hit
with a 40-foot wall of sulfuric acid...
Copy !req
235. that will horribly burn
everything in its path.
Copy !req
236. Now, that's real acid,
so I want to see goggles, people.
Copy !req
237. - Real acid?
- Okay. Roll film!
Copy !req
238. Tip the acid vats.!
And... action.
Copy !req
239. Only Fallout Boy can save me now.
Copy !req
240. Where's Fallout Boy?
Copy !req
241. - Fallout Boy!
- Uh-oh.
Copy !req
242. My eyes.
The goggles do nothing.
Copy !req
243. Where in the hell is Milhouse?
Copy !req
244. That one shot cost us
a million dollars!
Copy !req
245. Where's the producer?
I want to talk about this coffee.
Copy !req
246. Milhouse!
Copy !req
247. Thanks to modern
editing techniques...
Copy !req
248. we can use existing footage
to complete the film without Milhouse.
Copy !req
249. Watch.
Copy !req
250. Looks like we're in trouble, Fallout Boy.
Copy !req
251. Jiminy jillickers,
Radioactive Man!
Copy !req
252. We'll have to fight our way out.
Are you ready?
Copy !req
253. Yes.
Copy !req
254. Seamless, huh?
Copy !req
255. - You're fired.
- And with good cause!
Copy !req
256. Go!
Copy !req
257. Okay. We can all stop worrying now.
Copy !req
258. These dogs never fail.
Copy !req
259. But... will they just find Milhouse,
or will they find him and kill him?
Copy !req
260. Well, they'll-
When they find him, they'll, um-
Copy !req
261. Excuse me, you didn't answer me.
You just trailed off.
Copy !req
262. Yeah. Yeah, I did kinda... trail off
there, didn't I?
Copy !req
263. I know Milhouse.
Copy !req
264. I'll just check all his old haunts.
Copy !req
265. - Have you seen Milhouse?
- No. Now, go away. We're racing...
Copy !req
266. for the title of
the Champion of the Universe.
Copy !req
267. All right!
Copy !req
268. - Yo! Doctor "S." Have you seen Milhouse today?
- No.
Copy !req
269. - Okay. Thanks.
- Wait.
Copy !req
270. Did you know
that there's a direct correlation...
Copy !req
271. between the decline of Spirograph
and the rise in gang activity?
Copy !req
272. - Think about it.
- I will.
Copy !req
273. No, you won't.
Copy !req
274. The only place left is the tree house.
Copy !req
275. - Aha!
- Stay away from me, Bart.
Copy !req
276. I mean it.
I'm not going back.
Copy !req
277. - I'm not cut out to be a star.
- But, Milhouse...
Copy !req
278. being a star is every
patriotic American's dream.
Copy !req
279. Not mine. It's a sham, Bart.
Copy !req
280. You get up on that movie screen
pretending to be a hero, but you're not.
Copy !req
281. The real heroes are out there, toiling
day and night on more important things.
Copy !req
282. - Television?
- No!
Copy !req
283. Curing heart disease
and wiping out world hunger.
Copy !req
284. But, Milhouse,
they haven't cured anything.
Copy !req
285. Heart disease and world hunger
are still rampant.
Copy !req
286. Those do-gooders are
all a bunch of pitiful losers.
Copy !req
287. Every last one of'em!
Want results?
Copy !req
288. You have to go to
the Schwarzeneggers, the Stallones...
Copy !req
289. and to a lesser extent,
the Van Dammes.
Copy !req
290. Mickey Rooney.!
Copy !req
291. Hi, Milhouse. The studio
sent me to talk to you...
Copy !req
292. being a former child star
myself, and...
Copy !req
293. the number-one box office draw
from 1939 through 1940!
Copy !req
294. Wow! Spanning two decades.
Copy !req
295. - How'd you find us?
- Uh, they tapped your tree house phone.
Copy !req
296. Milhouse.
Listen, you can't quit this movie.
Copy !req
297. I've seen your work.
It's good. Very, very good.
Copy !req
298. - Van Johnson good.
- I know I'm good.
Copy !req
299. - Movie stardom is just so hollow.
- Hollow?
Copy !req
300. The only thing in show business
that's hollow is the music industry.
Copy !req
301. Come on, Milhouse.
You have to do this.
Copy !req
302. If not for yourself, then
for the movie-going public...
Copy !req
303. and for the foreign markets that are
more important than ever nowadays.
Copy !req
304. And finally, for me...
Copy !req
305. the Mickster.
Copy !req
306. - No!
- All right. I tried.
Copy !req
307. Fortunately, we have a perfectly good
Fallout Boy right here.
Copy !req
308. Jiminy jillickers.
Copy !req
309. Jiminy jillickers.
Jiminy jillickers!
Copy !req
310. - We're shutting down production.
- Yeah, well, we only have $1,000 left anyway.
Copy !req
311. Ah, there's a $1,000
"leaving town" tax.
Copy !req
312. I hope you're all satisfied.
You bankrupted a bunch of naive movie folks.
Copy !req
313. Folks from a Hollywood
where values are different.
Copy !req
314. They weren't thinking
about the money.
Copy !req
315. They just wanted to tell a story.
A story about a radioactive man...
Copy !req
316. and you slick small-towners
took 'em for all they were worth.
Copy !req
317. Should we give them
some of their money back?
Copy !req
318. No.
Copy !req
319. Hurry, Mr. Rooney. We've got a disenchanted
little girl in a Jell-O Pudding commercial.
Copy !req
320. I could play that.
Copy !req
321. So, Milhouse. It must be
a little tough...
Copy !req
322. givin' up all that glamour
and comin' back to school, huh?
Copy !req
323. Quiet! Maybe I can get my citizenship.
Copy !req
324. We know you don't have
any more money left.
Copy !req
325. But that doesn't matter. Just take
whatever you need from our boutiques...
Copy !req
326. until you can get back on your feet.
Copy !req
327. Thank God we're back in Hollywood,
where people treat each other right.
Copy !req
328. Shh!
Copy !req
