1. The Simpsons
Copy !req
2. D'oh!
Copy !req
3. Here's your caption, boys. "Local Hero
Shuns Spotlight and Pitches In. "
Copy !req
4. What an angle!
Copy !req
5. I can't believe I'm spending
my Saturday picking up garbage.
Copy !req
6. I mean, half these bottles ain't even mine.
Copy !req
7. Let's have less conversation
and more sanitation.
Copy !req
8. Hey, where's Homer?
How'd he get out of this?
Copy !req
9. Hey, everybody.! Up here.!
Copy !req
10. Simpson, stop frolicking
and get to work.
Copy !req
11. Right away, Mr. Smithers.
Copy !req
12. I'll just walk across
these slippery rock-
Copy !req
13. Oh, no! He's going
over the falls!
Copy !req
14. Oh, good.
He snagged that tree branch.
Copy !req
15. Oh, no!
The branch broke off.
Copy !req
16. Oh, good. He can grab
onto them pointy rocks.
Copy !req
17. Oh, no. Them rocks broke his arms and legs!
Copy !req
18. Oh, good. Those helpful beavers
are swimming out to save him.
Copy !req
19. Oh, no. They're biting him
and stealing his pants.
Copy !req
20. Good lord.! He'll be
sucked into the turbine.
Copy !req
21. Smithers,
who was that corpse?
Copy !req
22. Homer Simpson, sir.
Copy !req
23. One of the finest, bravest men
ever to grace Sector 7G.
Copy !req
24. I'll cross him off the list.
Copy !req
25. That dummy
worked like a charm, Dad.
Copy !req
26. Best 600 bucks
I ever spent.
Copy !req
27. Come on, boy.
We've earned this Saturday.
Copy !req
28. Now let's make
the most of it!
Copy !req
29. Sixty-one.
Sixty-two. Sixty-three.
Copy !req
30. Marge, we can't tell you how sorry we are.
Copy !req
31. You have our deepest
condol-diddly-olences.
Copy !req
32. I'm sorry. I-I'm just nervous.
I didn't mean any disrespect.
Copy !req
33. - What are you talking about?
- You know. Uh-
Copy !req
34. Homer's passing.
Copy !req
35. Away.
Copy !req
36. - Into death.
- What?
Copy !req
37. That's ridiculous. Homer's not dead.
He's right out back in the hammock.
Copy !req
38. Oh, Marge.
Of course Homer's alive.
Copy !req
39. He's alive
in all our hearts.
Copy !req
40. Yes, Marge.
I can see him.
Copy !req
41. Hi, everybody!
Copy !req
42. Marge, I'm gonna give you the card
of our juvenile counselor.
Copy !req
43. A tombstone?
Copy !req
44. It came with the burial plot.
But that's not important.
Copy !req
45. The important thing
is Homer is dead.
Copy !req
46. We've been saving for this
since your wedding day.
Copy !req
47. Get out of here,
you ghouls!
Copy !req
48. Ayayayaya.!
Copy !req
49. Hmm?
Copy !req
50. Uh, excuse me. Sir?
I think there's been a mistake.
Copy !req
51. Oh, no.
No mistake.
Copy !req
52. Your electricity's in the name
of HomerJ. Simpson, deceased.
Copy !req
53. The juice stays off till you get
a job or a generator.
Copy !req
54. Oh, and, uh,
my deepest sympathies.
Copy !req
55. - Homer.
- That's my name.
Copy !req
56. When I asked you if that dummy was to fake
your own death, you told me no.
Copy !req
57. You go downtown first thing in the morning
and straighten this out.
Copy !req
58. Mom! Dad! Bart ran into
a door frame and bit his tongue!
Copy !req
59. What the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
60. Listen here!
My name is HomerJ. Simpson!
Copy !req
61. You guys think I'm dead,
but I'm not.
Copy !req
62. I want you to straighten
this out without a lot...
Copy !req
63. - of your bureaucratic red tape and mumbo jumbo!
- Okay, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
64. I'll just make the change here.
And you're all set.
Copy !req
65. I don't like your attitude,
you watercooler dictator.
Copy !req
66. What do you have in that secret government
file anyway? I have a right to read it.
Copy !req
67. You sure do.
Copy !req
68. "Marjorie.
Bartholomew, Lisa"-
Copy !req
69. Aha! See?
This thing is all screwed up!
Copy !req
70. Who the heck
is Margaret Simpson?
Copy !req
71. - Uh, your youngest daughter.
- "Uh, your youngest daughter. "
Copy !req
72. Well, how about this?
This thing says my mother's still alive!
Copy !req
73. She died when I was a kid!
See that stone angel up there?
Copy !req
74. That's my mother's grave!
Copy !req
75. My dad points it out
every time we drive by.
Copy !req
76. Mr. Simpson, uh, maybe you should
actually go up there.
Copy !req
77. Huh?
Copy !req
78. Oh, Mom. I'm sorry
I never come to see you.
Copy !req
79. I'm just not a cemetery person.
Copy !req
80. "Here lies"-
Copy !req
81. Walt Whitman?
Copy !req
82. Damn you, Walt Whitman!
Copy !req
83. I... hate... you,
Walt... freakin'... Whitman!
Copy !req
84. Leaves of Grass my ass!
Copy !req
85. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
86. Maybe it's that other grave.
Copy !req
87. The one that says "Simpson. "
Copy !req
88. Oh!
Copy !req
89. Why does my death keep
coming back to haunt me?
Copy !req
90. Oh!
Copy !req
91. You awful, awful man!
Copy !req
92. - Get out of my son's grave!
- I hate to rain on your parade, lady.
Copy !req
93. But this is my grave.
Hey-Wait a minute!
Copy !req
94. - Mom?
- Homer?
Copy !req
95. - I thought you were dead.
- I thought you were dead.
Copy !req
96. Well, dang blast it! Isn't anybody in this
dad-gummed cemetery dead?
Copy !req
97. I didn't want to cause a fuss,
but now that you mention it.
Copy !req
98. Oh.
Copy !req
99. Homer, you grew up so handsome.
Copy !req
100. Some people say
I look like Dan Aykroyd.
Copy !req
101. I can't believe you're here.
Copy !req
102. Dad always told me you died
while I was at the movies.
Copy !req
103. Oh! Oh, my poor baby.
Copy !req
104. You must've been so upset.
Copy !req
105. But I suppose Abe had his reasons.
Copy !req
106. Yeah. Well, where have
you been all this time?
Copy !req
107. Oh, it's a very complicated story.
Copy !req
108. Let's just enjoy this moment.
Copy !req
109. Mom, there's something
you should know about me.
Copy !req
110. I almost always
spoil the moment.
Copy !req
111. - I'm sorry.
- That's okay, darling.
Copy !req
112. It wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
113. Hey, everybody!
I got a big surprise for you!
Copy !req
114. Presenting... my mother!
Copy !req
115. - You're kidding!
- That's Grandma Simpson?
Copy !req
116. - Can you believe it?
- I thought she was-
Copy !req
117. - Hello.
- This is so weird.
Copy !req
118. It's like something out of Dickens.
Or Melrose Place.
Copy !req
119. Where have you been, Granny?
They freeze you or something?
Copy !req
120. Oh, my!
Such clever grandchildren.
Copy !req
121. So full of questions
and bright, shiny eyes.
Copy !req
122. I don't know what to say.
I finally have a mother-in-law.
Copy !req
123. No more living
vicariously through my girlfriends.
Copy !req
124. Hey!
Copy !req
125. Since you were a no-show
at all the big moments of my life...
Copy !req
126. you owe me years
of back presents!
Copy !req
127. Christmases, birthdays, Easters,
Kwanzaas, good report cards.
Copy !req
128. Hmm, 75 bucks a pop
plus interest and penalties.
Copy !req
129. You owe me... $22,000.
Copy !req
130. I'll Kwanzaa you.!
Copy !req
131. Homer, don't be
so hard on little-
Copy !req
132. What is his name?
Copy !req
133. This is my room.
This is my dresser.
Copy !req
134. It's where I keep my shirts
when I'm not wearing them.
Copy !req
135. Oh, yes.
Right in the drawers.
Copy !req
136. You remembered.
Copy !req
137. Oh, I've missed
moments like this...
Copy !req
138. Mom.
Copy !req
139. I saw all your awards, Lisa.
They're mighty impressive.
Copy !req
140. Aw, I just keep
'em out to bug Bart.
Copy !req
141. Don't be bashful.
When I was your age...
Copy !req
142. kids made fun of me because
I read at the ninth-grade level.
Copy !req
143. - Me too!
- Hey, Mom!
Copy !req
144. Look at me!
Look at what I can do!
Copy !req
145. I see you, Homer.
That's very nice.
Copy !req
146. Although, I hardly consider
A Separate Peace the ninth-grade level.
Copy !req
147. Yeah, more like preschool.
Copy !req
148. - I hateJohn Knowles.
- Me too.
Copy !req
149. Mom, you're not looking!
Copy !req
150. You know, Lisa, I feel like I have
an instant rapport with you.
Copy !req
151. You didn't dumb it down.
Copy !req
152. You said "rapport. "
Copy !req
153. Gotta run!
Grandma stuff!
Copy !req
154. Huh?
Copy !req
155. There. Now no one should be able to hear us.
Copy !req
156. - What?
- All right. We don't need the dryer.
Copy !req
157. - What?
- Just shut up and listen!
Copy !req
158. There's something
fishy about Grandma.
Copy !req
159. Whenever we ask her where she's been
all this time, she changes the subject.
Copy !req
160. And just now when a police car drove by,
she ran into the house.
Copy !req
161. Yeah, I don't
trust her either.
Copy !req
162. I was going through her purse.
Look what I found.
Copy !req
163. "Mona Simpson.
Mona Stevens.
Copy !req
164. "Martha Stewart.
Penelope Olsen.
Copy !req
165. Muddy Mae Suggins?"
Copy !req
166. These are the calling cards
of a con artist.
Copy !req
167. Woo-hoo! I'm so glad
to have my mom back.
Copy !req
168. I never realized
how much I missed her.
Copy !req
169. - She's nice.
- But?
Copy !req
170. I just don't think you
should get too excited...
Copy !req
171. about the woman who
abandoned you for 25 years.
Copy !req
172. - You could get hurt again.
- First, it wasn't 25 years.
Copy !req
173. It was 27 years. And second,
she had a very good reason.
Copy !req
174. - Which was?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
175. I guess I was just a horrible son
and no mother would want me.
Copy !req
176. Oh, Homie.
Copy !req
177. Come on! You're a sweet,
kind, loving man.
Copy !req
178. I'm sure you were
a wonderful son.
Copy !req
179. - Then why did she leave me?
- Let's find out.
Copy !req
180. Mother Simpson, we'd like to ask you
a few questions about your past.
Copy !req
181. Can't reminisce. Sleeping.
Copy !req
182. Spill it, Muddy Mae,
or we're calling the cops!
Copy !req
183. - Please don't!
- All right. Then we'll call your husband.
Copy !req
184. - Grampa!
- No! I'll talk!
Copy !req
185. I'll tell you everything.
I've wanted to tell you.
Copy !req
186. It all started in the '60s.
Copy !req
187. Take out wrenched ankle.
Copy !req
188. Mom! Mom!
Copy !req
189. Mom!
Copy !req
190. Oh, my little Homie Bear.
Copy !req
191. - Time for bed.
- Sing me my bedtime song, Mom.
Copy !req
192. Mm.
Copy !req
193. Darn tootin'!
Copy !req
194. Here's the tricky part.
Copy !req
195. Abe, isn't Homer cute?
Copy !req
196. Probably. I'm trying
to watch the Super Bowl.
Copy !req
197. If people don't support this thing,
it might not make it.
Copy !req
198. Joe Willie Namath
swaggering off the field...
Copy !req
199. his sideburns an apogee
of sculpted "sartorium"-
Copy !req
200. the foppish follicles pioneered
by Ambrose Burnside...
Copy !req
201. Appomattox, 1865.
Copy !req
202. His wild, untamed facial hair...
Copy !req
203. revealed a new world
of rebellion, of change-
Copy !req
204. - a world where doors
were open for women like me.
Copy !req
205. But Abe was stuck
in his button-down...
Copy !req
206. Plastic Fantastic Madison Avenue scene.
Copy !req
207. Look at them sideburns!
He looks like a girl.
Copy !req
208. Now, Johnny Unitas- there's a haircut
you could set your watch to.
Copy !req
209. So, Mother Simpson, where did your
newfound sense of irresponsibility take you?
Copy !req
210. I soon found people who shared
my views at the state college.
Copy !req
211. Anthrax, gangrene,
swimmer's ear.
Copy !req
212. Get your germ lab out of here!
Copy !req
213. - Now! Now!
How could I not become a radical...
Copy !req
214. when we were fighting
a force of pure evil?
Copy !req
215. Hey, hey, Mr. Burns.!
Enough already with the germs.
Copy !req
216. Ptooh their flower power-
Copy !req
217. it's no match for my glower power.
Copy !req
218. Well, that's some
nice glowering, Mr. "B."
Copy !req
219. We'd met the enemy,
and it was Montgomery Burns.
Copy !req
220. Drastic action had to be taken
to stop his war machine.
Copy !req
221. I put Homer to bed, Abe.
And now I'm going out.
Copy !req
222. - It could be a late night. I'm meeting my destiny.
- So long.
Copy !req
223. When this baby goes off,
Burns's lab is gonna be history, man!
Copy !req
224. Germ history!
Copy !req
225. Oh, man!
I got the munchies.
Copy !req
226. Oh! No!
Copy !req
227. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
228. Bronchial tubes clearing.
Asthma disappearing.
Copy !req
229. Acne... remains.
But asthma disappearing.
Copy !req
230. My germs!
Copy !req
231. My precious germs! They never harmed a soul.
They never even had a chance.
Copy !req
232. Whoever did this
will never get past me.
Copy !req
233. You poor man.
Let me help you up.
Copy !req
234. You just made
a very big mistake.
Copy !req
235. You'll spend the rest
of your life in pri-
Copy !req
236. My asthma's gone!
Listen to me breathe.
Copy !req
237. From that moment on,
my life as I knew it was over.
Copy !req
238. Only one member of the Springfield Seven
was identified.
Copy !req
239. She's been described
as a woman in her early 30s...
Copy !req
240. yellow complexion
and may be extremely helpful.
Copy !req
241. For Channel 6 News,
I'm Kenny Brockelstein.
Copy !req
242. Homer.
Copy !req
243. I'll miss you, Homer.
Copy !req
244. I thought
I dreamed that kiss.
Copy !req
245. I'm so sorry
I misjudged you, Mom.
Copy !req
246. You had to leave
to protect your family.
Copy !req
247. - How did you survive?
- Oh, I had help from my friends in the underground.
Copy !req
248. Jerry Rubin gave me a job marketing
his line of health shakes...
Copy !req
249. I proofread
Bobby Seale's cookbook...
Copy !req
250. and I ran credit checks
at Tom Hayden's Porsche dealership.
Copy !req
251. Wait a minute.
There's one thing I don't understand.
Copy !req
252. In all those years, why didn't you
ever try to contact me?
Copy !req
253. But I did. I sent you
a care package every week.
Copy !req
254. Oh, come on, Mom. We use that same line
on the kids when they're at camp.
Copy !req
255. But I did. I really did.
I'll prove it to you.
Copy !req
256. - Any undelivered mail for HomerJ. Simpson?
- No.
Copy !req
257. Oh, wait. This.
Copy !req
258. That's what happens when you don't
tip your letter carrier at Christmas.
Copy !req
259. Yes, I'd like to send this letter to
the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail.
Copy !req
260. Am I too late
for the 4:30 autogiro?
Copy !req
261. - Um, better look in the manual.
- Ignorance.
Copy !req
262. Wait a minute.
I know that woman.
Copy !req
263. But from when?
And in what capacity?
Copy !req
264. It's her.!
Copy !req
265. - At last!
- This book must be out of date.
Copy !req
266. I don't see Prussia,
Siam or autogiro.
Copy !req
267. Keep looking!
Copy !req
268. Are you sure this is the woman
you saw in the post office?
Copy !req
269. Absolutely. Who could forget
such a monstrous visage?
Copy !req
270. She has the sloping brow
and cranial bumpage of the career criminal.
Copy !req
271. Uh, sir, phrenology was dismissed
as quackery 160 years ago.
Copy !req
272. Of course you'd say that. You have
the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter.
Copy !req
273. At any rate, the F.B.I. will track down
this mystery woman...
Copy !req
274. and put her
behind bars.
Copy !req
275. - How does it happen, Joe?
- How does what happen?
Copy !req
276. How does a sweet young lady
mortgage her future...
Copy !req
277. for a bunch of scraggly ideals
and greasy-haired promises?
Copy !req
278. Maybe she thought the war in Southeast Asia
was so immoral her end justified the means.
Copy !req
279. Gee, Joe. You haven't been the same
since your son went crazy in Vietnam.
Copy !req
280. It's a pain that never ends.
Copy !req
281. - Seven!
- No, Dad. It's a rhetorical question.
Copy !req
282. Rhetorical, eh?
Copy !req
283. - Eight!
- Dad, do you even know what "rhetorical" means?
Copy !req
284. Do I know what
rhetorical means?
Copy !req
285. Quick, Grandma! Hide!
Copy !req
286. No door is gonna
keep me from my meddlin'!
Copy !req
287. Stand up straight, Bart.
Copy !req
288. Abe?
Copy !req
289. What the-
Copy !req
290. Now, here's a piece
of bad news.
Copy !req
291. Oh, Abe!
You've aged terribly.
Copy !req
292. What do you expect? You left me
to raise the boy on my own!
Copy !req
293. I had to leave! But you didn't
have to tell Homer I was dead!
Copy !req
294. It was either that or tell him
his mother was a wanted criminal!
Copy !req
295. You were a rotten wife,
and I'll never ever forgive you!
Copy !req
296. Can we have sex?
Please?
Copy !req
297. - Oh, Abe!
- Well, I tried. What's for supper?
Copy !req
298. Yeah. I might've seen her. It's hard to tell
from this old picture, you know?
Copy !req
299. Well, according to
our computer-aging program...
Copy !req
300. she should look about...
Copy !req
301. 25 years older.
Copy !req
302. Yeah, I seen her. Uh,
that is to say, I saw her.
Copy !req
303. Look at me, Grandma.
I'm a hippie. Peace, man.
Copy !req
304. Groovy.
Bomb Vietnam!
Copy !req
305. Four more years!
Up with people!
Copy !req
306. You know, Grandma, I used to think
maybe I was adopted.
Copy !req
307. I couldn't understand
how I fit into this family.
Copy !req
308. Now that I've met you,
I suddenly make a lot of sense.
Copy !req
309. I'm so glad to see the spirit of the '60s
is still alive in you kids.
Copy !req
310. Yep.
I saw her.
Copy !req
311. That is to say,
I seen her.
Copy !req
312. She seemed like a nice lady.
Copy !req
313. Well, that nice lady set the cause
of biological warfare back 30 years.
Copy !req
314. We're only now
finally caught up.
Copy !req
315. Two more ladies
come by earlier that day.
Copy !req
316. One was real pretty.
Copy !req
317. Tother, sort of plain.
Copy !req
318. Ma'am, we're gonna need your assistance
in locating this individual.
Copy !req
319. You're fresh.
Copy !req
320. Don't you want to play
"good cop, bad cop"?
Copy !req
321. - Ma'am, we're all good cops.
- I had no intention of playing the good cop.
Copy !req
322. Look, we know
you bought the tombstone.
Copy !req
323. We know the fugitive visited that tombstone.
Whose tombstone was it?
Copy !req
324. Just lift up
your coffee cups and see.
Copy !req
325. - Good lord!
- Put out an A.P. B...
Copy !req
326. on a Uosdwis R. Dewoh.
Copy !req
327. Uh, better start
with Greek town.
Copy !req
328. That's HomerJ. Simpson, Chief.
You're reading it upside down.
Copy !req
329. Uh, cancel that A.P.B.
Copy !req
330. But, uh- Oh, bring back
some of them, uh, gyros.
Copy !req
331. Uh, Chief, you're
talking into your wallet.
Copy !req
332. Grandma, have you ever thought
about moving back to Springfield?
Copy !req
333. You could live with Grampa again.
Copy !req
334. Oh, I'm a living joke.
Copy !req
335. You know, Lisa...
Copy !req
336. it might be nice to rest for a while.
Copy !req
337. Mom, there's nothing
to be alarmed about.
Copy !req
338. But could you take one last look
at the family and join me in the kitchen?
Copy !req
339. I've been waiting
25 years for this moment.
Copy !req
340. Huh?

341. I'm sorry, sir.
I must've taped over that.
Copy !req

I am the Lindbergh baby.
Copy !req
344. Waah! Waah! Goo, goo.
I miss my fly-fly dada.
Copy !req
345. Are you trying to stall us,
or are you just senile?
Copy !req
346. A little from column "A,"
a little from column "B."
Copy !req
347. Sir, she's gone!
Copy !req
348. - We made it, Homer!
- It's all thanks to our anonymous tipster.
Copy !req
349. But who are you?
And why did you tip us off?
Copy !req
350. Well, it's 'cause of your old lady
that I got rid of the asthma...
Copy !req
351. - that was keeping me out of the academy.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
352. Sure. Just think of me
as an anonymous friend...

of the Springfield Police...
Copy !req

you have a mother...
Copy !req

362. Oh.! Hurry up, man.!
Copy !req

has 20 minutes of juice left!

a part of me.
