Transcript

[Bart and Lisa are watching The Itchy & Scratchy Show then Homer enters the room.]
Homer: What are you kids watching?
Lisa: It's Itchy & Scratchy.
Bart: Our favorite show.
[Homer gets the remote and turns the television off.]
Homer: Well, you're not watching it.
Bart: Aw, dad!
Lisa: Come on, Homer!
Homer: Nope. It's too violent. Go to something else.
[Homer gets out of the living room by running.]
Lisa: Now I'm really bored.
Bart: I know.
[Bart dismantles the television, gets the curtains into the frame then makes his hand puppet named Ed.]
Bart: Da-da-da-da-da-da-daaa! It's The Bart Simpson Show starring Bart Simpson featuring the Bart Simpson Orchestra and the Bart Simpson dancers!
[Lisa and Maggie clap.]
Bart: And now, here's the star of our show... Bart Simpson!
[Lisa and Maggie clap once again.]
Bart: Thanks, Ed. Funny things happened on the way to the studio tonight. I ran over my dad's head on my bike.
[Homer gets back in the living room with running.]
Homer: I thought I told you kids not to watch violent TV!
Lisa: It's not violent!
Bart: Oh, yeah?
Homer: Bart?
[Homer then pauses and looks at the TV screen.]
