[Bart awakens and realizes he has not studied for his test today.]
Bart: Otto man, I have a test I am so not ready for! Could you help out your pal and crash the bus?
Otto: Whoa! Sorry, Bart dude, state law prohibits me from crashing the bus on purpose. But who knows, you may get lucky and we could have an accident!
Bart: [talking to himself] No need to panic. Just pal up with some brain, sponge the answers, then I am back on Easy Street!
Sherri: Look! It is Bart Simpson.
Terri: I will bet he did not study for the test, and now he is trying to play up to us!
Bart: Good morning, girls!
Sherri & Terri: [sweetly in unison] Good morning, Bart!
Bart: Who is up for a power cram session? I will go first. What was the name of the Pilgrims' ship?
Sherri: The Spirit of St. Louis.
Bart: Where was their original destination?
Terri: Sunny Acapulco.
Bart: And why did they leave England?
Sherri: Giant rats.
[Sherri & Terri snicker to themselves as Bart is writing in a notebook.]
Bart: Cool, history is coming alive!
[School bus arrives at Springfield Elementary. Students exit bus.]
Martin Prince: As a natural enemy, I do not know why I am doing this, but I feel obliged to tell you that the information you just received is grossly erroneous.
Bart: Speak English, man!
Martin: A blindfolded chimp with a pencil in his teeth stands a better chance at passing this test than you do!
Bart: [dejectedly] Thanks for the pep talk, Poindexter.

[Bart's bedroom. He has feigned illness to get out of a test.]
Lisa: Everybody knows you are faking it.
Bart: Well, everybody had better keep their mouth shut!
Lisa: You cannot run away from your responsibilities forever. You are bound to fail that test sooner or later.
Bart: I got my bases covered.
[Bart picks up phone and dials Milhouse.]
Bart: Milhouse, my man! How was school? I missed Lewis shooting milk out of his nose? You do not say? Listen, on the history test, what did you get for Question #1? OK, how about Question #2?
Bart is writing down Milhouse's fed answers. Scene changes to Springfield Elementary, where Bart is confidently writing on the test.
Bart: I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Bart hands over test to Mrs. Krabappel, who marks it up.
Edna Krabappel: I cannot believe it! This is even worse than Milhouse's exam! Bart Simpson, I warned you!

[Bart in class. He is stressed at contemplating the seriousness of this situation.]
Dr. Pryor: [echoing in Bart's mind] I am afraid my recommendation is for Bart Simpson to repeat the fourth grade.
Edna Krabappel: Class, the topic is world literature...
[Bart imagines the future, Edna Krabappel is now elderly.]
Edna Krabappel {aged:} The topic is world literature. Let us start with Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Can anyone tell me the name of the pirate... Bart Simpson Senior?
[Bart is now a full-grown man]
Bart Simpson Senior: Ah, lady, come on. My kid has the chicken pox, my wife has been nagging me for a new car and I need a root canal. So can you please cut me some slack and stop asking me for the name of that stupid pirate?
[Bart Simpson Junior (who bears an uncanny resemblance to his father at that age) is seated next to his father, and is presumably a more serious student.]
Bart Simpson Junior: [whispering] Long John Silver, Dad!
Edna Krabappel: I heard that, Bart Junior! I want to see both of you after class!
Bart Sr & Bart Jr: [in unison] D'OH!

Bart: Woo hoo! A snow day! Last one out is a rotten egg!
[Bart is stopped by Lisa.]
Lisa: I heard you praying last night. You asked God to make it so that He would close the school and He did. I do not know much about the existence of God, but I do know this; He is a force more powerful than Mom and Dad put together and you owe Him big.

[Bart has had to hide himself in the basement in order to shield himself from the tempation of the fun people are having outdoors with the snow day.]
Bart: [talking to himself] Concentrate, man! Do you want to be held back? OK, Chapter 4. The Founders decided they had enough of British oppression and decided to secede from England...
[July 4th, 1776. Bart imagines himself a member of the First Continental Congress witnessing the declaration.]
Thomas Jefferson: We hold these truths to be self-evident.
Bart: [talking to himself] We hold these truths to be self-evident.
Thomas Jefferson: That all men are created equal.
Bart: [talking to himself] That all men are created equal.
Thomas Jefferson: That from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable...
John Adams: Hey, look everybody! It's snowing!
Samuel Chase: In the middle of July?
Roger Sherman: It's a miracle.
Benjamin Franklin: Fellas, I've invented something fun... the sled.
John Adams: Hey, look everybody! John Hancock's writing his name in the snow!

[Bart in class. Students are finishing their history tests and submit them to the teacher.]
Martin: Later, Mrs. K.
Mrs. Krabappel: Martin? OK, Bart, time is up. Hand over your test.
Bart: Mrs. Krabappel, could you please grade this right now?
Mrs. Krabappel: Very well, let me get out "Old Red".
Mrs. Krabappel produces a red pen and begins marking up the test.
Mrs. Krabappel: That's 59, Bart, another F.
Bart: Oh, no. I can't believe it.
Mrs. Krabappel: Yes, I know, another year, oh, it's gonna be hell.
[Bart looks at the test paper and breaks down in tears]
Mrs. Krabappel: Bart, what's the matter? I would think you'd be used to failing by now.
Bart: [still crying] No..you don't understand. I really tried this time. I really tried! This is as good as I can do, and I still failed!
Mrs. Krabappel: Well, a 59 is a high F.
Bart: Who am I kidding? I really am a failure! Now I know how George Washington felt when he surrendered Fort Necessity to the French in 1754.
Mrs. Krabappel: What?
Bart: You know, 1754. The famous defeat to the French.
Mrs. Krabappel skims through a history textbook.
Mrs. Krabappel: My God, Bart, you're right!
Bart: So?
Mrs. Krabappel: You demonstrated applied knowledge! And due to the difficulty and relative obscurity of that reference, you deserve an extra point on that exam. It's only fair.
Bart: [overjoyed] You mean I passed?
Mrs. Krabappel: Just barely.
Bart: I passed! I got a D minus! I passed!! All right! [Kisses Mrs. Krabappel and runs out of the school] I passed, I passed, I passed! I got a D minus! I passed! I got a D minus! I passed! I got a D minus! I passed, I passed, I... [Frowns suddenly] ...KISSED THE TEACHER?!!
