Once more and hurl! Aah!

I'll bet your biggest hurdle was
leaving your beloved hometown.

71
00:03:34,567 --> 00:03:38,300
All hurdles are the same size.
Man... who is this loser?

72
00:03:38,327 --> 00:03:40,401
I've got a secret, Bart.

73
00:03:40,414 --> 00:03:42,853
- That's good.
- Want to know what it is?

74
00:03:42,865 --> 00:03:43,892
No.

75
00:03:43,899 --> 00:03:48,412
My secret is I've been training for
this race and no one suspects.

76

Check it out:

and it'll change my life!

00:03:59,188 --> 00:04:00,095
Wow!

Two on us to win.

86

$20 on Milhouse.

87
00:04:17,913 --> 00:04:19,566
Milhouse?!
(scoffs)

88
00:04:19,588 --> 00:04:21,708
That's a
thousand-to-one odds.

89
00:04:21,724 --> 00:04:24,004
Perhaps I should take
my action to Willie.

90
00:04:24,017 --> 00:04:25,910

I ain't makin' book no more.

You are late with
the rent, Willie.

93
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:32,910
I'll have it by Friday, Mr. U.
I swear.

94
00:04:32,917 --> 00:04:34,277

of the Race around the School.

99
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:49,803

100
00:04:50,485 --> 00:04:53,218
Just, just go.
And they're off!

daughter, Fat Tony's nephew,</i>

106

- <i>Brockman's little girl...</i>
- (screams)

107
00:05:07,997 --> 00:05:09,570
<i>...and Jailbird's kid!</i>

108
00:05:09,591 --> 00:05:12,624
<i>The Frank Sinatra kid...
well, he's doing it his way!</i>

109
00:05:12,641 --> 00:05:16,433
Rounding out the pack are all
the kids that we never see.

110
00:05:16,451 --> 00:05:19,338
What's this? Milhouse
takes the lead?

111

<i>The same boy who sprained his shoulder

Uh-oh! If Milhouse wins this
race, we're out a fortune.

114
00:05:27,497 --> 00:05:31,150
Don't worry. The race takes a turn
through the trees where no one can see.

115
00:05:31,172 --> 00:05:33,525
When Milhouse gets there,
you know what to do.

116
00:05:33,545 --> 00:05:37,525
Oh, yeah. Totally.
I mean, it's so obvious.

117
00:05:37,553 --> 00:05:40,020
- Just punch him!
- Exactly.

118
00:05:40,026 --> 00:05:43,980
Right in the nnn...
fff... dee...?

119

nobody loves, is widening his lead!</i>

121

And what does he
have to jump over?

122
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,458
Nothing, that's what.
I'm out of here.

Good job, Edwin.

125

I'm doing it! I'm doing it!

126
00:06:02,357 --> 00:06:04,490
And when I win, I'm
changing my name.

127
00:06:04,503 --> 00:06:07,588
To something cool
like Winnie!

128
00:06:10,492 --> 00:06:13,561
Did you come to give
me a cup of water?

130
00:06:16,850 --> 00:06:21,368
The best day of my life just turned
into every other day of my life.

<i>Bart faced a terrible choice--</i>

132
00:06:26,095 --> 00:06:30,165
<i>take a beating with his friend
or slither off like a coward.</i>

133
00:06:30,192 --> 00:06:32,611
<i>And like he did with every
multiple choice question</i>

134
00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:36,394
<i>he ever saw,
Bart chose "B."</i>

(crowd cheering)

136
00:06:44,983 --> 00:06:47,219
The winner is Bart Simpson!

137
00:06:47,236 --> 00:06:48,842
LISA:
<i>Bart won a blue ribbon.</i>

138
00:06:48,855 --> 00:06:50,229
<i>But was it worth it?</i>

MARGE:
<i>Lisa! Bath time!</i>

140

LISA:
<i>Mom! I'm narrating!</i>

141
00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:56,270
MARGE:
<i>The water's gonna get cold!</i>

142
00:06:56,285 --> 00:06:57,819
LISA:
<i>Fine.</i>

143

<i>and into its housing,</i>

145
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:11,082
<i>the seeds of his comeuppance
flew out of the woods.</i>

146
00:07:11,106 --> 00:07:15,386
Son! What happened to you in the
dark place behind the school?

147
00:07:15,403 --> 00:07:16,689
Something good?

148
00:07:18,145 --> 00:07:20,858
I'm afraid I
don't remember.

149
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,095
Whew.

150
00:07:22,116 --> 00:07:24,496
Well, it looks like Milhouse
has traumatic amnesia.

151
00:07:24,508 --> 00:07:26,245
He may never remember
what happened to him.

152
00:07:26,261 --> 00:07:29,964
The most important thing is, the
race results are now official.

153
00:07:29,998 --> 00:07:33,536
Now I've got to look at some severe
cases of ice cream headache.

00:07:52,901 --> 00:07:54,268
(gasps)

157
00:07:54,288 --> 00:07:56,275
Help me, Bart!

158
00:07:57,699 --> 00:07:59,066
(screams)

159
00:07:59,094 --> 00:08:01,034
Help me, Bart!

160
00:08:01,055 --> 00:08:02,530
(shouts)

161
00:08:02,677 --> 00:08:03,444
(gasps)

162
00:08:03,464 --> 00:08:05,893
Help me, Bart!

163
00:08:07,836 --> 00:08:08,936
(gasping)

164
00:08:09,064 --> 00:08:11,997
Why am I having nightmares?
I'm no coward.

165
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:13,127
(screams)

166
00:08:13,174 --> 00:08:15,750
A chicken feather? Why
would you hand this to me?

167
00:08:15,784 --> 00:08:19,371
Oh, you must've figured out
I chickened out during the race.

168
00:08:19,393 --> 00:08:22,223
Well, who are you
to judge me?

169
00:08:22,763 --> 00:08:24,831
I suck? You suck!

170
00:08:24,852 --> 00:08:27,359
LISA: <i>While Bart was being
outwitted by a baby,</i>

171
00:08:27,382 --> 00:08:31,455
<i>something was coming to a
boil in our pop's brainpan.</i>

172
00:08:31,799 --> 00:08:36,329
Marge, if this stupid, one-reactor town
won't put on a fireworks show, I will.

173
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:37,997
I've mapped it out.

174
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:39,155
(laughs)

175
00:08:39,193 --> 00:08:41,305
- Hmm?
- (groans)

176
00:08:42,229 --> 00:08:45,980
Maybe we should just light
sparklers in the backyard.

177
00:08:45,993 --> 00:08:49,075
Eh, I've had my problems
with sparklers.

178
00:08:49,090 --> 00:08:51,231
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
Fun! Fun! Fun!

179
00:08:51,471 --> 00:08:52,905
(screams)

180
00:08:52,934 --> 00:08:55,834
LISA: <i>But Fourth of July fireworks
were a different story.</i>

181
00:08:55,847 --> 00:08:59,588
<i>They meant more to my dad
than my Mom could ever know.</i>

182
00:08:59,601 --> 00:09:01,468
<i>It was the one night
of every year</i>

183
00:09:01,488 --> 00:09:03,915
<i>that he couldn't hear
his parents argue.</i>

184
00:09:03,941 --> 00:09:08,596
<i>He figured it was because they loved
the fireworks just as much as he did.</i>

185
00:09:09,089 --> 00:09:10,549
I want to take a class!

186
00:09:10,572 --> 00:09:13,973
Why can't you be happy
ironing my shirts?!

187
00:09:14,002 --> 00:09:15,389
I need space!

188
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:18,209
Then close your eyes
and go to Hawaii!

189
00:09:19,246 --> 00:09:22,284
LISA: <i>With his mom gone,
Homer needed a hero,</i>

190
00:09:22,304 --> 00:09:25,442
<i>and no one was a bigger hero
than the magical little man</i>

191
00:09:25,462 --> 00:09:27,299
<i>behind the controls.</i>

192
00:09:27,336 --> 00:09:29,318
(fireworks whistling)

193
00:09:29,331 --> 00:09:32,774
- Are you God?
- No, no.

194
00:09:32,794 --> 00:09:36,340
But I shoot rockets
into his a-face.

195
00:09:36,364 --> 00:09:41,011
Here's-a my card. Don't
forget to treasure it.

196
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:43,602
Hmm.

197
00:09:43,608 --> 00:09:46,169
Now let's see. Which
pants have that card?

198
00:09:46,182 --> 00:09:48,395
Board shorts,
interested shorts.

199
00:09:48,416 --> 00:09:50,025
Here we are.

200
00:09:50,812 --> 00:09:52,520
Kaboom.

201
00:09:54,202 --> 00:09:57,255
Giuseppe, I want you to
come out of retirement

202
00:09:57,268 --> 00:10:00,091
for the greatest fireworks
show of your career.

203
00:10:00,104 --> 00:10:03,456
Why do you come here and
remind me of a time in my life

204
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:06,990
when I made a-tons of money
doing a-what I love?

205
00:10:07,003 --> 00:10:09,556
If the <i>Expendables</i> movies
have taught us anything,

206
00:10:09,569 --> 00:10:13,968
it's that people do their best work
after they're old and forgotten.

207
00:10:13,974 --> 00:10:17,820
Well, I am younger
than Sylvester Stallone.

208
00:10:17,838 --> 00:10:19,518
I will do it!

209
00:10:24,451 --> 00:10:27,555
- Hey, buddy.
- Bart, my truest friend.

210
00:10:27,582 --> 00:10:29,384
I brought you a cake.

211
00:10:29,397 --> 00:10:30,651
Read it.

212
00:10:30,671 --> 00:10:32,663
That's an odd message.

213
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,280
But who am I to
argue with icing?

214
00:10:35,295 --> 00:10:38,295
Will you watch <i>Cassidy
the Crocodile</i> with me?

215
00:10:38,314 --> 00:10:43,046
- Um, that's kind of a baby show.
- It's all I can handle now.

216
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:44,407
(sighs)

217
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,000
Henrietta Kitten?
Will you marry me?

218
00:10:49,023 --> 00:10:50,763
Meow, meow, maybe.

219
00:10:50,798 --> 00:10:53,628
Why would a kitten marry a crocodile?
Wouldn't it eat her?

220
00:10:53,648 --> 00:10:54,748
(shushes)

221
00:10:54,769 --> 00:10:57,349
Suspension of disbelief.

222
00:10:57,371 --> 00:11:00,158
Friends help friends
in trouble.

223
00:11:00,182 --> 00:11:02,861
No! Turn it off! It's
too intense for me!

224
00:11:02,884 --> 00:11:06,632
Some guys just can't
handle crocodiles.

225
00:11:06,658 --> 00:11:07,828
Is it over yet?

226
00:11:07,862 --> 00:11:09,162
(chicken clucks)

227
00:11:09,184 --> 00:11:12,002
And if you're dissatisfied
for any reason,

228
00:11:12,015 --> 00:11:15,824
I will refund your money
in the form of acorns.

229
00:11:18,372 --> 00:11:19,639
(groans)

230
00:11:19,661 --> 00:11:23,653
Hey, this gunpowder,
it has a-crystal meth in it.

231
00:11:23,678 --> 00:11:28,211
Crystal meth? Then what the heck did
I sell to them Colombian drug lords?

232
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:33,966
Brandine! We're feuding
with the Escobars again!

233
00:11:33,995 --> 00:11:36,663
Does that mean I ain't
talking to Maria?

234
00:11:36,683 --> 00:11:38,404
Duh! Yes.

235
00:11:38,419 --> 00:11:42,021
Homer, we will get the
fireworks someplace else.

236
00:11:42,477 --> 00:11:45,861
The pig's been eating
the C-4 blocks again!

237
00:11:45,894 --> 00:11:48,028
(burps)

238
00:11:48,616 --> 00:11:50,221
(dog barks)

239
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:54,253
We've invited a new athlete to
join our do-gooding dream team.

240
00:11:54,269 --> 00:11:57,898
Please welcome fleet-footed
phenom, Bart Simpson.

241
00:11:57,924 --> 00:11:59,870
(crowd cheering)

242
00:12:00,334 --> 00:12:02,456
Hey, everyone. I sure
got a lot of attention

243
00:12:02,469 --> 00:12:04,439
for winning this year's
Race around the School.

244
00:12:04,458 --> 00:12:06,467
(crowd cheering)

245
00:12:06,494 --> 00:12:08,274
Completely deserved!

246
00:12:08,303 --> 00:12:12,160
Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Mel. But I
am not here to talk about myself.

247
00:12:12,174 --> 00:12:14,705
Milhouse, would you
join me at the podium?

248
00:12:14,725 --> 00:12:16,065
(clamoring)

249
00:12:16,098 --> 00:12:19,025
What's going on? Seriously,
what-what's transpiring?

250
00:12:19,044 --> 00:12:20,385
I've got to set things straight.

251
00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:23,260
During that same race, my friend
Milhouse was in the lead,

252
00:12:23,273 --> 00:12:25,952
when something
horrible happened!

253
00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:31,505
LISA: <i>Bart knew the worst thing
to do was pile lie upon lie.</i>

254
00:12:31,526 --> 00:12:33,486
<i>And that's exactly
what he did.</i>

255
00:12:33,499 --> 00:12:35,001
Rather than try to figure
out what happened,

256
00:12:35,021 --> 00:12:36,634
Milhouse had the
courage to move on.

257
00:12:36,651 --> 00:12:38,271
To me, that's a hero.

258
00:12:38,278 --> 00:12:39,691
(crowd cheering)

259
00:12:39,714 --> 00:12:40,961
Nicely done.

260
00:12:40,988 --> 00:12:43,560
Now we will give out
free rubber bracelets.

261
00:12:43,579 --> 00:12:47,421
Do not wear them to bed. They smell
like truck tires. They're disgusting.

262
00:12:51,452 --> 00:12:52,999
Crotch or forehead?

263
00:12:53,028 --> 00:12:55,324
Uh, forehead for once.

264
00:12:55,669 --> 00:12:57,323
Wha...?

265
00:13:08,355 --> 00:13:10,382
Bart Simpson!

266
00:13:10,412 --> 00:13:13,180
You ran away when I
was getting beat up!

267
00:13:13,214 --> 00:13:14,487
(crowd booing)

268
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:17,057
- Bart's a coward!
- He lied to us!

269
00:13:17,072 --> 00:13:18,846
Stop the tattoo!

270
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:22,222
Uh, I could make it
a bag of groceries.

271
00:13:22,243 --> 00:13:24,790
All right, make sure there's
some French bread sticking out.

272
00:13:24,803 --> 00:13:27,466
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow!

273
00:13:30,861 --> 00:13:33,574
(crowd rabbling)

274
00:13:34,703 --> 00:13:37,210
Look how he runs now!

275
00:13:37,223 --> 00:13:39,816
LISA: <i>So Bart was
revealed as a coward.</i>

276
00:13:39,837 --> 00:13:42,992
<i>And now it seemed like the
whole world was against him.</i>

277
00:13:43,023 --> 00:13:44,481
(screams)

278
00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:46,227
(panting)

279
00:13:46,819 --> 00:13:49,479
MALE ANNOUNCER: <i>Have you ever
considered a reverse-equity mortgage?</i>

280
00:13:49,499 --> 00:13:51,686
That's what put
me in this dump!

281
00:13:51,704 --> 00:13:54,497
Grampa, everyone's
calling me a coward.

282
00:13:54,742 --> 00:13:56,239
Well, join the club.

283
00:13:56,262 --> 00:13:59,685
Anyone who makes it to old age
has got to be part-coward.

284
00:13:59,704 --> 00:14:01,901
Come on, you were
in World War II.

285
00:14:01,921 --> 00:14:04,344
Do you know how I
survived D-Day?

286
00:14:06,377 --> 00:14:07,370
(retches)

287
00:14:07,390 --> 00:14:09,887
Don't worry-- just a
day at the beach.

288
00:14:13,893 --> 00:14:17,743
I'll be back around 1946!

289
00:14:17,756 --> 00:14:20,107
But don't people
hate cowards?

290
00:14:20,113 --> 00:14:22,554
Sure do. But we
outlive the brave.

291
00:14:22,582 --> 00:14:26,263
Leaving us cowards to make
time with the heroes' widows.

292
00:14:26,282 --> 00:14:29,564
After Korea, I was
drowning in boobies.

293
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:31,853
Wow, that sounds
pretty sweet.

294
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:33,620
Well, there is a price.

295
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,777
Do you wake up sweating
in the middle of the night?

296
00:14:36,797 --> 00:14:39,097
- Yes.
- So do I.

297
00:14:39,123 --> 00:14:42,116
But I get back to sleep by
counting the men I let down.

298
00:14:42,129 --> 00:14:48,447
There's Jerry, Izzy, Brooklyn, the
O'Donnell boys, the lost ship PT-108,

299
00:14:48,481 --> 00:14:52,594
the Poor Buggers of Meatloaf
Ridge, the Andrew sisters...

300
00:14:52,611 --> 00:14:54,512
(snoring)

301
00:14:57,642 --> 00:14:59,032
(gasps)

302
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:05,640
I understand. You
have standards.

303
00:15:07,078 --> 00:15:08,153
(gasps)

304
00:15:09,027 --> 00:15:11,407
This is an angry sleepover.

305
00:15:11,420 --> 00:15:14,256
I'm only doing it 'cause
it was on the books.

306
00:15:15,101 --> 00:15:19,734
LISA <i>While Bart was in hell, Homer was
happily surrounded by fire and brimstone.</i>

307
00:15:19,918 --> 00:15:23,658
Okay, let's make
some fireworks.

308
00:15:23,678 --> 00:15:27,858
Now drive slowly and
a-carefully to my workshop.

309
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:30,985
It's in-a the
Cobblestone a-District.

310
00:15:34,772 --> 00:15:37,209
Oh, thank God--
a rickety bridge.

311
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:46,173

Saw everything you did.
Milhouse is the hero.
