Difference between revisions of "Hard Times"

A [[Newscaster (Hard Times)|newscaster]] (voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]]) reports on (and jokes about) the loss of all of [[Mr. Burns]]' money. The television that the story is shown on gets carried away by [[Lenny]] and [[Carl]]. Burns watches in deep sorrow as all his possessions get sold off and taken away (even [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] take away [[Smithers]]). [[File:Hard Times 2.png|250px|thumb|The logo with [[Milhouse]]]] Burns stands outside the padlocked gate of his old mansion, which gets carried away by helicopters. Burns then takes a walk in [[Springfield Park]] and watches people getting along like Smithers butlering Patty and Selma, [[Nelson]] pushing [[Martin]] and [[Krusty]] pushing [[Plopper]] on the swing set. Even [[Chief Wiggum]] and [[Snake]] are holding hands (though they are handcuffed together, but they still smile) and holding bottles of Coke. He passes by [[Maggie]] and [[Baby Gerald]] getting along while [[Gil]] gives out Cokes behind him. [[Apu]] grabs two armfuls of Cokes and then spots Mr. Burns and sympathizes with him. He walks up to him and gives him one of his Coke bottles. Burns takes a sip, catches a football and gets carried off by Lenny and Carl as the Simpsons look at him, and [[Bart]] gives [[Homer]] ''his'' Coke. [[Jimbo]] is seen flying a kite made out of the artwork that he purchased from Burns' sale with [[Milhouse]] riding it. The kite bumps into the Coke bottle logo, and Milhouse says, "Uh, sorry, Coke."
