Episode version

 * Shary Bobbins:
 * If there's a task that must be done,
 * Don't turn your tail and run.
 * Don't pout,
 * Don't sob,
 * Just do a half-assed job.


 * If you cut every corner,
 * It is really not so bad.
 * Everybody does it.
 * Even Mom and Dad.


 * If nobody sees it,
 * Then nobody gets mad.


 * Bart:
 * It's the American way.


 * Shary Bobbins:
 * The policeman on the beat
 * Needs some time to rest his feet.


 * Chief Wiggum:
 * Fighting crime is not my cup of tea.

 * And the clerk who runs the store
 * Can charge a little more
 * For meat...


 * Apu:
 * For meat...


 * Shary Bobbins:
 * And milk...


 * Apu:
 * And milk...

 * You'll have more time for play.
