1. D'oh!
Copy !req
2. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
3. Mm, mm, mm.
Copy !req
4. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
5. Mmmmmm.
Copy !req
6. I have it goir on.
Copy !req
7. Ho-ho! Let the good times roll.
Copy !req
8. Good Lord! The rod up that mars butt
must have a rod up its butt.
Copy !req
9. Superintendent Chalmers, can I offer you
a cup of coffee-flavored Bevarine?
Copy !req
10. Yes. I take it gray,
with Creamium.
Copy !req
11. But first, before Skinner shows up,
I have a secret announcement.
Copy !req
12. In honor of Seymour's 20th year
as principal...
Copy !req
13. we've decided to hold
a surprise tribute Friday night.
Copy !req
14. It's my 20th year too.
Copy !req
15. The teachers' lounge
is for teachers, Willy.
Copy !req
16. And for the tribute, I need a volunteer
to present an oral report...
Copy !req
17. on Principal Skinner's life.
Copy !req
18. Miss Hoover,
which one is "oral"?
Copy !req
19. Out of your mouth, Ralph.
Volunteers.
Copy !req
20. - Thank you, Lisa.
- No, Miss Hoover. I'm Ralph.
Copy !req
21. I only need
one volunteer, Ralph.
Copy !req
22. Miss Hoover, which one is "one"?
Copy !req
23. Ralph and I could do
the report together.
Copy !req
24. - It's your funeral.
- Miss Hoover.
Copy !req
25. Bart, why are you doing that?
Copy !req
26. Our class is making refreshments
for Skinner's party.
Copy !req
27. - These are in honor of his army days.
- That explains the flags.
Copy !req
28. - What about the dog food?
- My theory is Skinner likes dog food.
Copy !req
29. Let's bake him a cake.
Copy !req
30. Ooh! A fresh batch
of America balls!
Copy !req
31. Seymour, tell me what time
it is, now!
Copy !req
32. 7:00, Friday night, Mother.
Copy !req
33. Time for our weekly silhouette.
Copy !req
34. No! Cutting out your ugly nose
gives me a hand cramp!
Copy !req
35. Oh, but you love
silhouette night.
Copy !req
36. And then we go through your bird book
and make up silly captions-
Copy !req
37. - Why are you all dressed up?
- I'm sick of this house, and I'm sick of you!
Copy !req
38. Tonight we're going
for a drive.
Copy !req
39. - Mmm, what's so special about tonight?
- Nothing!
Copy !req
40. - Put on your special suit and get in the car!
- Yes, Mother.
Copy !req
41. Why are we stopping
at my school, Mother?
Copy !req
42. - What does it say on that sign?
- I don't like your tone!
Copy !req
43. Surprise!
Copy !req
44. Happy anniversary, Son.
Copy !req
45. Oh, Mother.
Copy !req
46. You are still the master
of deception.
Copy !req
47. - I surely am.
- Ahhh.
Copy !req
48. "So, in 1966, a brave young man
named Seymour Skinner...
Copy !req
49. enlisted and shipped out to Vietnam,
where he rose to become platoon sergeant. "
Copy !req
50. - Ralph.
- Principal Skinner is an old man
who lives at the school.
Copy !req
51. - Lisa.
- " Sergeant Skinner was a hero.
Copy !req
52. He risked capture many times
behind enemy lines."
Copy !req
53. Teacher made me go to Principal
Skinner's office when I was dirty.
Copy !req
54. "And he survived
to make it back to Springfield...
Copy !req
55. where he became the fine educator
we salute tonight."
Copy !req
56. When I grow up, I wanna be
a principal or a caterpillar.
Copy !req
57. I love you,
Principal Skinner.
Copy !req
58. "Tribute to Seymour Skinner."
Pull over, driver.
Copy !req
59. Now, I know the school normally
serves cake only on Thursdays.
Copy !req
60. And I'm also well aware
that today is Friday.
Copy !req
61. Nevertheless, I have
a surprise for you.
Copy !req
62. - Mm-hmm!
Copy !req
63. - Ooh! What the-
Copy !req
64. An enjoyment buzzer.
Copy !req
65. Oh, thank you.
What a wonderful night...
Copy !req
66. to share with the people
and the town that I love.
Copy !req
67. I have never been happier or
prouder to be Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
68. You're not Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
69. - Skinner!
- Skinner?
Copy !req
70. - I'm Skinner.
- Seymour?
Copy !req
71. - Mother!
- She's my mother!
Copy !req
72. Will someone remove
that crazy man, please?
Copy !req
73. No. No. He's-
Copy !req
74. He's not crazy.
It's true.
Copy !req
75. I'm-
Copy !req
76. I'm... an impostor.
Copy !req
77. - That man is the real Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
78. Keep looking shocked
and move slowly towards the cake.
Copy !req
79. Now, let's clear this up.
Who exactly are you?
Copy !req
80. Sergeant Seymour Skinner,
U.S. Army.
Copy !req
81. It's true.
I was in his platoon.
Copy !req
82. But they said you were killed
on that scouting mission.
Copy !req
83. No, just captured.
It's kind of a funny story, really.
Copy !req
84. After five years
in a secret P.O.W. camp...
Copy !req
85. I was sold to China
for slave labor.
Copy !req
86. Since '77, I've been making
sneakers at gunpoint...
Copy !req
87. in a sweatshop in Huhan.
Copy !req
88. That's not a funny story.
Copy !req
89. Well, I guess
you had to be there.
Copy !req
90. Anyhow, the U.N. shut
the factory down last week...
Copy !req
91. and the embassy shipped me home,
and here I am.
Copy !req
92. So what's your story, Seymour,
if that is your real name?
Copy !req
93. Well, obviously it isn't.
My real name is Armin Tamzarian.
Copy !req
94. I'm an orphan from Capitol City,
and those who recall my fight...
Copy !req
95. to outlaw teenage rudeness
may be shocked to learn...
Copy !req
96. that I, myself,
was once a street punk.
Copy !req
97. - Yeah. The way I was headed,
it was just a matter of time...
Copy !req
98. before I wound up
in front of a judge.
Copy !req
99. - What the-
Copy !req
100. They gave me a choice:
Copy !req
101. Jail, the army, or apologizing
to the judge and the old lady.
Copy !req
102. Of course, if I'd known there was a war
going on, I probably would've apologized.
Copy !req
103. Okay, who wants a piece of me?
Copy !req
104. You trying to get
yourself killed, Tamzarian?
Copy !req
105. You've got your whole life ahead of you.
Don't you have any dreams?
Copy !req
106. My dreams all involve
combing my hair.
Copy !req
107. Oh, gosh, son.
Everybody's got dreams.
Copy !req
108. I come from a town
called Springfield.
Copy !req
109. And my dream is to go back and become
principal of the elementary school.
Copy !req
110. Some people might call that
a pretty corny dream, uh, Sergeant.
Copy !req
111. Well, there's nothing corny about
fresh-faced youngsters skipping to school...
Copy !req
112. scraping knees
and spelling bees...
Copy !req
113. and pies cooling softly
on the windowsill.
Copy !req
114. Well, sir, if that's corny,
then corn me up.
Copy !req
115. Sergeant Skinner
took me under his wing...
Copy !req
116. and showed me that life
was worth living.
Copy !req
117. I came to think ofhim as
the big brother I never had.
Copy !req
118. He made me believe
I might have a future after all.
Copy !req
119. Come on!
Copy !req
120. And when they told us
he was missing...
Copy !req
121. presumed dead,
my future died once again.
Copy !req
122. My life lost all meaning.
Copy !req
123. Come on! Get to the part
where you steal his identity.
Copy !req
124. I'm trying to explain
how emotionally fragile I was.
Copy !req
125. Oh, it's one of those stories.
Copy !req
126. Sergeant Skinner meant
the world to me.
Copy !req
127. And l-I felt it was my duty
to deliver the grim news to his mother.
Copy !req
128. Hello. I'm, uh- I'm-
Copy !req
129. Seymour, is that you?
Copy !req
130. I don't know why I did what I did.
Copy !req
131. I guess I couldn't bear
to tell her about her son.
Copy !req
132. What I did was wrong,
but... I'd do it again.
Copy !req
133. Yes, Mother, it's me.
Copy !req
134. You look different somehow.
Copy !req
135. But you must be Seymour.
Yes. You are Seymour.
Copy !req
136. As strange as it sounds...
Copy !req
137. deep down, I think she knew
I wasn't her son...
Copy !req
138. but the lie made us both happier
than the truth ever could have.
Copy !req
139. You can have some lima beans
as soon as you've cleaned your room.
Copy !req
140. Go! Upstairs,
third door on the left.
Copy !req
141. Don't walk on the rugs!
Copy !req
142. Yes, Mother.
Copy !req
143. Don't judge her too harshly, Sergeant.
She was a lonely old woman.
Copy !req
144. If you must blame someone,
blame me.
Copy !req
145. That's pretty much what I was planning
to do there, Armin.
Copy !req
146. Well, that's about it.
And so, for the past 26 years...
Copy !req
147. I've dedicated myself
to living out your dream.
Copy !req
148. I didn't dream anything
about an aqua suit...
Copy !req
149. or a lavender shirt,
but you did take care of Mom.
Copy !req
150. A dagger!
A dagger through my heart!
Copy !req
151. - Here, Mother. Let me help you.
- Get your hands off me!
Copy !req
152. - Please, Mom.
- You too, stranger!
Copy !req
153. - I'm your son.
- I have no son.
Copy !req
154. Look, lady, you obviously
have at least one son.
Copy !req
155. No! I have one stranger
and one fraud.
Copy !req
156. - Take it easy, Mom.
- I said, back off!
Copy !req
157. You better do as she says.
She's quick with a hatpin.
Copy !req
158. Uh, well, hey, I suppose
I'll have to find a hotel.
Copy !req
159. I won't hear of it. Tonight you can sleep
on the floor of your office.
Copy !req
160. Miss Krabappel sent me. I forged
my dad's signature on my report card.
Copy !req
161. Oh, now, Bart,
you know that's wrong.
Copy !req
162. I don't see how me signing
Homer's name is any different...
Copy !req
163. from you using
Sergeant Skinner's name.
Copy !req
164. I guess me punishing you
would be somewhat hypocritical.
Copy !req
165. Why don't you just write a 30-word essay
on what you've done?
Copy !req
166. Hey, hey, hey.
Easy there, you big impostor.
Copy !req
167. So, uh, um, should I
sign my original name?
Copy !req
168. Just put an "X," then call yourself
whatever the hell you want.
Copy !req
169. Well, now,
there's no need for profanity.
Copy !req
170. My name may have changed, but I'm
still the same man I was last week.
Copy !req
171. Not to us you're not.
I mean, how would you feel...
Copy !req
172. if you suddenly found out
Ned Flanders was an impostor?
Copy !req
173. - Who's Ned Flanders?
- My next-door neighbor. Religious guy?
Copy !req
174. - Oh, you mean Reverend Lovejoy.
- No, I don't!
Copy !req
175. What I mean is, to me
you're just a stranger...
Copy !req
176. - pretending to be something he's not.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
177. Oh, I'm sorry,
but that's just how I feel.
Copy !req
178. No, don't apologize.
It's time I stopped pretending.
Copy !req
179. I've called this assembly
to announce my retirement...
Copy !req
180. effective as of the end
of this sentence.
Copy !req
181. This sentence I'm speaking...
right now.
Copy !req
182. - Period.
Copy !req
183. I wrongfully usurped
Sergeant Skinner's position...
Copy !req
184. and I suggest you consider
him to replace me.
Copy !req
185. - Thank you.
- Well, now, I don't know.
Copy !req
186. Skinner, do you know anything
about being a principal?
Copy !req
187. Well, it's been
my lifelong ambition.
Copy !req
188. And if a man pretending
to be me could do it...
Copy !req
189. well, then, logically,
the real me must be far more qualified.
Copy !req
190. - Good enough.
- Armin Tamzariars reign of terror is over.
Copy !req
191. Now let us welcome our new Principal Skinner,
Principal Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
192. - Uh, him.
Copy !req
193. Well, before I go,
I've got some personal items for you.
Copy !req
194. You belong to
the Radio Shack Battery Club.
Copy !req
195. Oh, 10 Canadian dollars. That's a souvenir
from your trip to Upstate New York.
Copy !req
196. You've led quite a life, Tamzarian.
Copy !req
197. It's your life.
I just kept it warm for you.
Copy !req
198. Oh, I nearly forgot.
Your pocket watch.
Copy !req
199. Mother's picture is still inside.
Take good care of her.
Copy !req
200. I'll wind her every day.
Copy !req
201. I poached some fish
for your trip, Mr. Tamzarian.
Copy !req
202. They're full of tiny bones,
so I want you to be careful.
Copy !req
203. I will, Moth- uh, Mrs. Skinner.
Copy !req
204. Well, I'd better be going.
Copy !req
205. Good evening, Edna. I know we were
planning to see a film tonight...
Copy !req
206. but instead,
I'm leaving town forever.
Copy !req
207. No, please.
I don't care what you've done.
Copy !req
208. You're still a decent,
honorable man.
Copy !req
209. Mmm.
Copy !req
210. - That's the kind of talk that
makes me want to marry you.
- Oh!
Copy !req
211. But instead,
I'm leaving town forever.
Copy !req
212. - Good-bye.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
213. Well, it's time to pick up
where I left off-
Copy !req
214. as a no-good street punk.
Copy !req
215. - Principal Skinner?
- Up yours, children.
Copy !req
216. Now, to recap our top story
in its entirety.
Copy !req
217. "The adaptable citizens of Springfield
have opened their hearts...
Copy !req
218. to Principal Seymour Skinner,
who"-
Copy !req
219. Not that one.
Idiots.
Copy !req
220. Thank you. Thank you.
I must say, in many ways...
Copy !req
221. Springfield really beats
the old slave-labor camp.
Copy !req
222. I admit Sergeant Skinner
seems okay.
Copy !req
223. But Mr. Tamzarian pulled himself up
from the streets...
Copy !req
224. and earned our respect
and admiration.
Copy !req
225. - He lied about his name.
- His name doesn't matter.
Copy !req
226. "A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet."
Copy !req
227. - Not if you called 'em stench blossoms.
- Or crap weeds.
Copy !req
228. I'd sure hate to get a dozen
crap weeds for Valentine's Day.
Copy !req
229. - I'd rather have candy.
- Not if they were called scum drops.
Copy !req
230. Your new principal
would like to say a few words.
Copy !req
231. Remember, you have to
respect him.
Copy !req
232. - He's a war hero.
- Ha-ha!
Copy !req
233. Thank you, Chalmers.
Copy !req
234. Where I come from,
there's no better way to get acquainted...
Copy !req
235. than by reciting the Pledge
of Allegiance together.
Copy !req
236. Why don't you lead us, son?
Copy !req
237. Hey, America-
America.
Copy !req
238. Well, that's very concise...
Copy !req
239. but it's an insult
to everything I suffered for.
Copy !req
240. Now, take a seat, junior,
and listen to someone...
Copy !req
241. who gave their youth
in service of their country.
Copy !req
242. Mrs. Krabappel,
the pledge, please.
Copy !req
243. You haven't dealt with women
for a long time, have you, Sergeant?
Copy !req
244. Are you asking me out?
Copy !req
245. - Ah, 433rd Street.
Copy !req
246. My old neighborhood. Hmm.
Copy !req
247. "Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
248. Capitol City's nakedest ladies.
Copy !req
249. They're not even
wearing a smile.
Copy !req
250. Nod suggestively.
Yes, six. Count 'em.
Copy !req
251. Six gorgeous ladies
just dying...
Copy !req
252. for your leers and catcalls.
Copy !req
253. - Yowza, yowza."
Copy !req
254. Seymour, it's 7:30.
Where were you?
Copy !req
255. - A bar, Mom.
- I don't know what that is...
Copy !req
256. but on Fridays, you come
straight home after school!
Copy !req
257. Tonight is silhouette night.
Sit there.
Copy !req
258. I really just came home
to change into a turtleneck.
Copy !req
259. Seymour, sit!
Copy !req
260. In the morning.
Oh, Mom, I'm borrowing your car.
Copy !req
261. - Good morning, Agnes.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
262. Mmm, how's your new son
working out?
Copy !req
263. That child is the most disobedient,
smart-alecky, middle-aged man in creation!
Copy !req
264. Hello, ladies. Is this the line for people
who wanna bad-mouth Sergeant Skinner?
Copy !req
265. - And have 10 items or less.
- Twelve, 11, 10. The mars a weenie.
Copy !req
266. Oh, now, be fair, Edna.
I liked Armin Tamzarian too...
Copy !req
267. but he was at least as big a weenie
as Sergeant Skinner.
Copy !req
268. - But he was our weenie.
- Now, there was a weenie...
Copy !req
269. you could be proud
to call your son.
Copy !req
270. - Did you ever tell him that?
- Hmm.
Copy !req
271. Okay, once more,
where are we going?
Copy !req
272. - To Capitol City.
- And why are you and the old lady in the car?
Copy !req
273. We're gonna talk Armin Tamzarian
into coming back.
Copy !req
274. - And why is Marge here?
- I came up with the idea.
Copy !req
275. - And why am I here?
- Because the streets of Capitol City...
Copy !req
276. are no place for three
unescorted ladies.
Copy !req
277. - And why are the kids here?
- Because we couldn't find Grampa to sit for them.
Copy !req
278. - And why is Grampa here?
- 'CauseJasper didn't wanna come by himself.
Copy !req
279. - Fair enough.
- Hello, beautiful!
Copy !req
280. - In your dreams.
- We'll see about that.
Copy !req
281. Hello, beautiful.
Copy !req
282. My mind is made up.
I'm not coming back, and that's final.
Copy !req
283. - Oh, Seymour.
- And I'm not Seymour.
Copy !req
284. My name is Armin.
This is Armirs apartment...
Copy !req
285. Armirs liquor, Armirs copy of Swank,
Armirs frozen peas.
Copy !req
286. - Can I see your copy of Swank, Armin?
- Yes, you can.
Copy !req
287. This is Armirs life. Maybe it's not perfect,
but at least I'm back where I belong.
Copy !req
288. I was born a no-goodnik,
and I'll die a no-goodnik.
Copy !req
289. Seymour! I didn't bring you up
to use language like that!
Copy !req
290. - You didn't bring me up at all.
- The hell I didn't!
Copy !req
291. I've been taking care of you
for 26 years!
Copy !req
292. - I'm the only mother you've ever known!
- But you have your real son.
Copy !req
293. You're my real son!
Copy !req
294. You've been my son longer
than he has.
Copy !req
295. He doesn't need me,
and I don't need him!
Copy !req
296. You march yourself downstairs
and get in that car!
Copy !req
297. - Yes, Mother.
- And the rest of you too!
Copy !req
298. Yes, Mrs. Skinner.
Copy !req
299. Hey, everybody, look!
Armin Tamzariars back!
Copy !req
300. - And he's gonna take over the school again!
Copy !req
301. Now, hold on.
Copy !req
302. Armin Tamzarian is an unsavory character
who played us all for chumps.
Copy !req
303. All right, all right.
So he's a fraud.
Copy !req
304. I don't care. His mom doesn't care.
Do any of you care?
Copy !req
305. - Nope, not me.
- I guess not.
Copy !req
306. You all seem to be forgetting
that I am Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
307. This is where I belong.
Copy !req
308. You can't ask me to disappear
because you like some other guy better.
Copy !req
309. I gave half my life
for you people.
Copy !req
310. Arert I entitled
to a little dignity?
Copy !req
311. You're, uh-
You're right, Sergeant.
Copy !req
312. Well, I don't see
any way out of this.
Copy !req
313. Now, if you'll allow me,
I think I have a solution...
Copy !req
314. that'll satisfy the town and let
Sergeant Skinner keep his dignity.
Copy !req
315. - But I'm a hero!
Copy !req
316. - And we salute you for it. Now, don't come back.
Copy !req
317. - I'm sorry, Seymour.
Copy !req
318. It's nice you're alive, but you're just
not what I'm looking for in a son.
Copy !req
319. I'm glad you understand.
Copy !req
320. Well, this is
a lovely gesture, but...
Copy !req
321. we still have to face the fact
that I'm not really Seymour Skinner.
Copy !req
322. Oh, no, we don't.
Judge Snyder.
Copy !req
323. By authority of
the city of Springfield...
Copy !req
324. I hereby confer upon you
the name of Seymour Skinner...
Copy !req
325. as well as his past,
present, future and mother.
Copy !req
326. - Okay.
- And I further decree...
Copy !req
327. that everything will be
