1. D'oh!
Copy !req
2. Ladies
and gentlemen,
Copy !req
3. the Springfield Mall
in conjunction with
Copy !req
4. Nostalgia Licensing
Corporation
Copy !req
5. is proud to present...
the stars of "Bonanza"!
Copy !req
6. Thank you. I just
wish Ben and Hoss
Copy !req
7. and Little Joe
and Hop Sing and Sheriff Roy
Copy !req
8. and all of your favorites
could be alive today
Copy !req
9. to see
this wonderful turnout.
Copy !req
10. You know, on the series
Copy !req
11. we were always trying
to kill the Cartwrights.
Copy !req
12. But it looks like
father time
Copy !req
13. took care of that
for us, right?
Copy !req
14. Am I right, folks?
Copy !req
15. Oh, this sucks.
Copy !req
16. Weren't there three Indians
last year?
Copy !req
17. Look, Marge!
Copy !req
18. They opened a new
high-tech gadget store!
Copy !req
19. - You love high-tech gadgets.
- No, I don't.
Copy !req
20. Like bull, you don't.
Come on.
Copy !req
21. Homer, please!
You're hurting my arm!
Copy !req
22. (laughs)
No, I'm not!
Copy !req
23. Hey, Lis.
Copy !req
24. Check out this
space-age toothbrush.
Copy !req
25. That's an electric
nostril groomer.
Copy !req
26. Night vision goggles?
Copy !req
27. A bathroom scale
from a Soviet sub?
Copy !req
28. A suede briefcase case?
Copy !req
29. Mm. Anyone who needs
this kind of status symbol
Copy !req
30. must have some terrible
emotional problems.
Copy !req
31. (gasps)
Marge, look!
Copy !req
32. "The world's best jacket."
Copy !req
33. if I had this,
it would show everybody!
Copy !req
34. (growling maniacally)
Show everybody!
Copy !req
35. Yes, finally!
Copy !req
36. I would like to return
your "ultimate belt."
Copy !req
37. I see. Do you have
a "receipt," sir?
Copy !req
38. No, I do not have
a receipt.
Copy !req
39. I won it as a door prize
at the Star Trek convention
Copy !req
40. although I find their choice
of prize highly illogical
Copy !req
41. as the average Trekker
Copy !req
42. has no use for
a medium-sized belt.
Copy !req
43. Whoa, whoa! A fat,
sarcastic "Star Trek" fan.
Copy !req
44. You must be a devil
with the ladies.
Copy !req
45. Hey, I— that— Oh...
Copy !req
46. Gee, I hate to let
you down, Casanova,
Copy !req
47. but no receipt,
no return.
Copy !req
48. I'll give you
four bucks for it.
Copy !req
49. Very well.
I must hurry back
Copy !req
50. to my comic book store
Copy !req
51. where I dispense the insults
rather than absorb them.
Copy !req
52. Wow! I bet if God
wore pants
Copy !req
53. he'd have a belt
like that!
Copy !req
54. This isn't a belt.
Copy !req
55. It's a tactical
pants-retaining system.
Copy !req
56. Check it out:
Compass, matches,
Copy !req
57. whistle, saw,
panic button, squirrel snare,
Copy !req
58. radon/lie detector,
sphygmomanometer,
Copy !req
59. and it's even got
turn signals.
Copy !req
60. Hey, Simpson.
Copy !req
61. Want to trade belts?
Copy !req
62. Well, not really
Copy !req
63. 'cause yours is just
a piece of extension cord.
Copy !req
64. Hey, dude, he's ragging
on your cord.
Copy !req
65. Get him.
Copy !req
66. No running.
Copy !req
67. Time for a little
evasive action.
Copy !req
68. Hey!
Copy !req
69. He's turning left!
Copy !req
70. Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Copy !req
71. I was hoping
it wouldn't come to this
Copy !req
72. but you guys asked for it.
Copy !req
73. Can't you read?
Copy !req
74. Call the police!
Copy !req
75. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
76. Looking good, son.
Copy !req
77. Hey! What happened
to your belt?
Copy !req
78. Some bullies beat me up
and took it.
Copy !req
79. Son, there's only one thing
punks like that understand—
Copy !req
80. squealing.
Copy !req
81. You've got to squeal
to every teacher
Copy !req
82. and every grown-up
you can find.
Copy !req
83. Coming to me
was a good start.
Copy !req
84. But then they'll just
beat me up even worse!
Copy !req
85. Yes. They are a clever bunch.
Copy !req
86. I know. I'll squeal for you—
to their parents.
Copy !req
87. That's for telling me
how to raise my lousy kid.
Copy !req
88. And this is for
the crummy life
Copy !req
89. I've had to live.
Copy !req
90. The thing is—
(grunts)
Copy !req
91. Bart really loves
that belt, and—
Copy !req
92. Hey, something's wrong
with this guy.
Copy !req
93. He's not falling down!
Copy !req
94. - (shotgun cocking)
Fun's over, fellas.
Copy !req
95. If you're gonna beat up
my friend in my bar
Copy !req
96. there's a
two-drink minimum.
Copy !req
97. Geez, Homer,
I never seen
Copy !req
98. a guy stand up to that
kind of punishment.
Copy !req
99. I mean, you took
a three-man pounding
Copy !req
100. and didn't even fall down.
Copy !req
101. Big deal. I didn't even
get my kid's belt back.
Copy !req
102. The only thing a loser
like me is good for
Copy !req
103. is taking beatings.
Copy !req
104. There you go!
That's the spirit!
Copy !req
105. Homer, I've seen
prizefighters
Copy !req
106. couldn't take a punch
half as good as you.
Copy !req
107. You know, boxing might be
right up your alley.
Copy !req
108. - Really?
- Oh, please!
Copy !req
109. It's
the good life, Homer.
Copy !req
110. Some of these boxers
Copy !req
111. they eat steak and
lobster and salad bar
Copy !req
112. all in a single meal.
Copy !req
113. (gasps)
Dressing?
Copy !req
114. Their choice.
Copy !req
115. You really think
I could do it?
Copy !req
116. Well, I don't know.
Copy !req
117. Are you man enough to test
every one of your limits?
Copy !req
118. - Yes.
- And are you man enough
Copy !req
119. to throw a punch,
should the opportunity arise?
Copy !req
120. - Yes!
- And are you
Copy !req
121. man enough to give me
a 60% cut?
Copy !req
122. - Yes!
- I'll take it.
Copy !req
123. Woo-hoo!
Copy !req
124. Now Homer,
Copy !req
125. if I'm going to manage
your boxing career,
Copy !req
126. I want you to have
complete faith in me.
Copy !req
127. Here, let me show you something.
Copy !req
128. Wow, I've never
been in here before.
Copy !req
129. Yeah, well, when I realized
Copy !req
130. we hadn't had no ladies in here
since 1979
Copy !req
131. I turned it into an office.
Copy !req
132. You used to be a boxer
just like me?
Copy !req
133. Yep. They called me
"Kid Gorgeous."
Copy !req
134. Later on, it was
"Kid Presentable."
Copy !req
135. Then "Kid Gruesome,"
Copy !req
136. and finally, "Kid Moe."
Copy !req
137. Hey, what's this?
Copy !req
138. Aw, that's my old
spit bucket.
Copy !req
139. Yeah, I've been meaning
to empty that out.
Copy !req
140. (gasps)
You know Lucius Sweet?
Copy !req
141. He's one of
the biggest names in boxing.
Copy !req
142. He's exactly as rich
and as famous
Copy !req
143. as Don King and he looks
just like him too.
Copy !req
144. Yeah, he was my manager.
Copy !req
145. Back when I was gorgeous,
everybody wanted a piece of me,
Copy !req
146. but somehow I just never made it
to the big time.
Copy !req
147. Why not?
Copy !req
148. 'Cause I got knocked out
40 times in a row.
Copy !req
149. That plus politics.
You know, it's all politics.
Copy !req
150. Lousy Democrats.
Copy !req
151. Homer, of all
the crazy ideas you've had
Copy !req
152. this one ranks
somewhere in the middle.
Copy !req
153. You're 38 years old.
Copy !req
154. You don't know how to box
Copy !req
155. and you haven't gotten
any exercise since grade school.
Copy !req
156. Before you even consider this,
I insist you consult a doctor.
Copy !req
157. No problemo.
Copy !req
158. A competent doctor!
Copy !req
159. D'oh!
Copy !req
160. Well, sir, you more than meet
Copy !req
161. every one of this state's
requirements
Copy !req
162. to box, wrestle
or be shot out of a cannon.
Copy !req
163. (growling)
That's what we get
Copy !req
164. for living in a state
founded by circus freaks.
Copy !req
165. You have an absolutely unique
genetic condition
Copy !req
166. known as
"Homer Simpson syndrome."
Copy !req
167. Oh, why me?
Copy !req
168. Don't worry,
it's quite beneficial.
Copy !req
169. Your brain is cushioned
by a layer of fluid
Copy !req
170. one-eighth of an inch thicker
than normal.
Copy !req
171. It's almost as if you're wearing
Copy !req
172. a football helmet
inside your head.
Copy !req
173. Why, I could wallop you all day
with this surgical 2x4
Copy !req
174. without ever knocking you down,
but I have other appointments.
Copy !req
175. All right, Homer
let's see the left.
Copy !req
176. O-kay.
Copy !req
177. Let's see the right.
Copy !req
178. Just a second.
Copy !req
179. When you're ready.
Copy !req
180. All right.
Copy !req
181. I'm ready.
Copy !req
182. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
183. All right.
Copy !req
184. Wait a minute.
Just a second.
Copy !req
185. Okay, punching isn't your thing,
but that's okay.
Copy !req
186. You're not that kind
of fighter.
Copy !req
187. What you're going to do
is stand there
Copy !req
188. while your opponent gets
exhausted from overpunching.
Copy !req
189. Then I can just push him over.
Copy !req
190. That's right, and if the ref's
not looking
Copy !req
191. you can kick him
a couple of times.
Copy !req
192. - Who's gonna knock you down?
- No one.
Copy !req
193. - When are you gonna fight back?
- Never!
Copy !req
194. - What are you gonna do?
- Nothing!
Copy !req
195. That's my boy!
Copy !req
196. Man, you'd never get me
into a ring.
Copy !req
197. Boxing causes brain damage.
Copy !req
198. Okay, you're fighting
a guy named Boxcar Bob.
Copy !req
199. Brawled his way up
from the boxcars, did he?
Copy !req
200. No, not yet.
Copy !req
201. He still lives
at the train yard
Copy !req
202. but he's a hungry
young fighter.
Copy !req
203. In fact, he's actually
fighting for a sandwich.
Copy !req
204. Homer, I want you to
have my lucky mitts.
Copy !req
205. I hope you do better
with them than I did.
Copy !req
206. Gee, thanks, Moe.
Copy !req
207. What's this?
Copy !req
208. Ah, that's the barbed wire.
Copy !req
209. We called that
"the stinger."
Copy !req
210. They don't let you
use that no more.
Copy !req
211. Now, no matter
how much he hits you,
Copy !req
212. you don't do
nothing, okay?
Copy !req
213. You don't want
to get drawn
Copy !req
214. into a boxing
match here.
Copy !req
215. Way to go, Dad!
Take those punches!
Copy !req
216. Man, that tramp's
got the energy of a hobo.
Copy !req
217. Yeah, he never
stops punching
Copy !req
218. except to check
out his bindle.
Copy !req
219. Okay, Homer, he's tired.
He's tired.
Copy !req
220. Now's your chance.
Nudge him, nudge him.
Copy !req
221. Hello, Moe.
Copy !req
222. Delightful to see you again.
Copy !req
223. Lucius! Hey, what's a glitterati
like you doing in my dump?
Copy !req
224. I thought you were managing
the champ.
Copy !req
225. Yes, managing Drederick
has been my highest priority
Copy !req
226. even though he is
temporarily incarcerated
Copy !req
227. for pushing his mother
down the stairs,
Copy !req
228. but with his
impending release
Copy !req
229. I've been strategizing
for his glorious return
Copy !req
230. to the shores of fistiana.
Copy !req
231. Uh... what?
Copy !req
232. His comeback fight.
Copy !req
233. You know— boxing?
Copy !req
234. Oh, man. Yeah.
Copy !req
235. Well, who's donating his body
for that one, huh?
Copy !req
236. Well, word is you manage
a stalwart young pugilist
Copy !req
237. who cannot be knocked down.
Copy !req
238. Homer?
Copy !req
239. You want Homer to fight Tatum?
Copy !req
240. Well, the fans are weary
of fights that are over
Copy !req
241. before they have
an opportunity
Copy !req
242. to even get drunk.
Copy !req
243. I just need a body
Copy !req
244. who can sustain
verticality
Copy !req
245. for three rounds.
Copy !req
246. Yeah, but Homer's no boxer.
Copy !req
247. He's just a freak.
Copy !req
248. Tatum will fustigate him.
Copy !req
249. Well, fustigation aside, Moe,
Copy !req
250. you've got a choice.
Copy !req
251. You can either sit here
in the ladies' room
Copy !req
252. with your faded memories,
Copy !req
253. or you can take your last shot
at the big time
Copy !req
254. and I can make it happen.
Copy !req
255. Three rounds.
That's all I ask.
Copy !req
256. I got to be honest
with you, Homer.
Copy !req
257. I didn't bring you up here
to show you my new tar paper.
Copy !req
258. You didn't?
Copy !req
259. No. Homer,
how would you like
Copy !req
260. to be heavyweight champion
of the world?
Copy !req
261. - Oh, sure.
- Great.
Copy !req
262. All you got to do
is fight Drederick Tatum.
Copy !req
263. It's this Saturday.
Here's your parking pass.
Copy !req
264. Ooh. "General."
Copy !req
265. Who's Drederick Tatum,
anyway?
Copy !req
266. - Is he another hobo?
- Uh... you know what?
Copy !req
267. I'm gonna have to
check on that.
Copy !req
268. Well, I trust you, Moe.
Copy !req
269. If you say I can
beat this guy
Copy !req
270. then he doesn't
stand a chance.
Copy !req
271. Hey, guys, come on.
Shut up.
Copy !req
272. We didn't know
you were here.
Copy !req
273. - Sorry, champ.
- It was Jerry.
Copy !req
274. Champ, champ.
Copy !req
275. Do you feel remorse
for your crime?
Copy !req
276. Oh, yes.
Believe me, my God,
Copy !req
277. if I could turn back the clock
on my mother's stair pushing,
Copy !req
278. I would certainly reconsider it.
Copy !req
279. Drederick, what do you think
of Homer Simpson?
Copy !req
280. I think he's a good man,
I like him.
Copy !req
281. I got nothing against him,
Copy !req
282. but I'm definitely gonna
make orphans of his children.
Copy !req
283. You know,
they do have a mother, champ.
Copy !req
284. Yes, but I would imagine
that she would die of grief.
Copy !req
285. Thank you, thank you
Copy !req
286. but the champ has no time
for further queries.
Copy !req
287. This parole hearing
is over.
Copy !req
288. I wanted to know what it was
like in prison.
Copy !req
289. Homer,
why are they saying
Copy !req
290. you're going to fight
Drederick Tatum?
Copy !req
291. Uh... well...
Copy !req
292. I was gonna
surprise you, but...
Copy !req
293. happy anniversary, baby!
Copy !req
294. Have you lost your mind?
Copy !req
295. Oh, come on!
Copy !req
296. I'll make a fortune
for one night's work.
Copy !req
297. We can have all the things
we always dreamed of—
Copy !req
298. a snooty butler,
carpeted carports,
Copy !req
299. those blue cupcakes
they sell sometimes—
Copy !req
300. But you'll get killed.
Copy !req
301. Marge, will you
let me finish?
Copy !req
302. Plug-in room
deodorizers,
Copy !req
303. front and rear spoilers
for the car.
Copy !req
304. Mom's right, Dad.
Copy !req
305. The odds against you winning
are a thousand to one.
Copy !req
306. I don't think
it's that unlikely.
Copy !req
307. Those are the odds
they're giving in Vegas.
Copy !req
308. All right
Copy !req
309. I think we've heard
just about enough
Copy !req
310. from Mr. Newspaper today.
Copy !req
311. Society put
Drederick Tatum away
Copy !req
312. for his brutal crime,
Copy !req
313. but he's paid his debt,
Copy !req
314. and now he's going
to get revenge
Copy !req
315. on Homer Simpson.
Copy !req
316. Yay!
Copy !req
317. That's your daddy.
Copy !req
318. T-shirts. Get your T-shirts.
Copy !req
319. Tell them where you've been
by wearing a T-shirt.
Copy !req
320. You'll be okay, Dad.
Copy !req
321. Just make sure he hits you
an even number of times
Copy !req
322. so you don't end up
with amnesia.
Copy !req
323. Moe, I'm so glad
I found you.
Copy !req
324. Please, promise me
you won't let Homer get hurt.
Copy !req
325. Hey, I'm not the
villain here, okay?
Copy !req
326. If Homer gets killed
in the ring tonight,
Copy !req
327. it will be because of
your negative attitude.
Copy !req
328. - There, I said it.
- Listen to me!
Copy !req
329. The instant that Homer's
in any kind of danger,
Copy !req
330. I want you to
throw in this towel
Copy !req
331. and stop the fight!
Copy !req
332. All right, all right,
all right, I promise, okay?
Copy !req
333. Thank you.
Copy !req
334. Celebrities at ringside tonight:
Copy !req
335. star of the "McBain"
action films
Copy !req
336. and feature player in the
Hollywood prostitution scandal,
Copy !req
337. Rainier Wolfcastle!
Copy !req
338. TV anchorman and
Springfield institution,
Copy !req
339. Mr. Kent Brockman!
Copy !req
340. This just in:
Go to hell.
Copy !req
341. From the world
of organized crime,
Copy !req
342. say hello to
Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico!
Copy !req
343. And the ruiner
of events worldwide—
Copy !req
344. title fights, the Super Bowl
and the Nixon funeral—
Copy !req
345. ladies and gentlemen,
the Fan Man.
Copy !req
346. Ah, cripes.
Copy !req
347. Now I've got to comb
this side over.
Copy !req
348. All right, Homer,
I'm not gonna lie to you—
Copy !req
349. there's a good chance
you can beat Tatum
Copy !req
350. but you've got to visualize
how you're gonna win, okay?
Copy !req
351. Gotcha.
Copy !req
352. A congenital heart defect
has apparently felled Tatum
Copy !req
353. moments before he could
step into the ring.
Copy !req
354. And now, please welcome back
into decent society,
Copy !req
355. ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
356. the heavyweight champion
of the world,
Copy !req
357. Drederick Tatum!
Copy !req
358. Let's get ready to rumble!
Copy !req
359. And to challenge
the irresistible force
Copy !req
360. of Tatum
Copy !req
361. we have the immovable object.
Copy !req
362. He's been called
"the brick hithouse"
Copy !req
363. and is also known as
"the southern dandy,"
Copy !req
364. Homer Simpson!
Copy !req
365. Your boy looks
a little soft, Moe.
Copy !req
366. You do remember
our arrangement?
Copy !req
367. Yeah, don't worry.
Copy !req
368. You'll get your
three rounds.
Copy !req
369. Stupendous.
Copy !req
370. Because if he goes down
before that bell rings,
Copy !req
371. your future's going with him.
Copy !req
372. Okey-doke. Future
down the crapper. Gotcha.
Copy !req
373. Due to popular demand,
Copy !req
374. we will forgo
our national anthem.
Copy !req
375. And now, ladies and gentlemen
Copy !req
376. l-l-l-let's get ready
to rumb-l-l-le!
Copy !req
377. Okay, Homer, nothing
to be worried about. Just—
Copy !req
378. Wow! I've never seen Dad
hit somebody like that before.
Copy !req
379. What are you
talking about?
Copy !req
380. Isn't Dad the one
in the black trunks?
