Dialogue[edit]
| Between September 6, 2022 and September 14, 2022
|
|
My name is Robert Terwilliger, your new director. Complete transparency...I'm a convicted felon.
|
|
Convicted of what?
|
|
|
Faking my own death, rigging an election, a bunch of attempted murders...
|
|
Don't forget the time you tried to frame me for robbery.
|
|
And you want this guy to direct your movie?
|
|
|
Would you rather star in a flop directed by Krusty, or in a blockbuster hit directed by a hardened criminal?
|
|
My agent said I'm one flop away from hosting game shows, so I choose the criminal!
|
|
|
Alas, I can not change my past, but I can forge a new future. Your futures. For the better. Now, are there any objections before we begin?
|
|
Just one... Are you going to try and kill Bart again?
|
|
|
If there's time. Now, let's take this scene from the top.

|
Hydrangea, in this scene I want to feel your anger as if your very life was at stake.
|
|
|
What makes you angry in real life? We'll use that as inspiration.
|
|
Well, sometimes Magnesium Man takes my lunch, even though my name is clearly written on it.
|
|
Good! Imagine that the Pain Lords are actually Magnesium Man coming for your lunch. It's up to you to stop him. And...action!
|
|
If you want this Love Gem, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers you human filth!
|
|
|
Cut! That was terrific.
|
|
*eating Hydrangea's lunch* Yeah, great job, Hydrangea.
|
|
|
Leave. My. Lunch. Alone! *tackles Magnesium Man*
|
|
Magnesium Man and Hydrangea are fighting on set? We need to stop them!
|
|
|
Don't be a fool! I've just given birth to brilliant performances! Keep rolling cameras!

|
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
I guess deep down I'm still that scared little girl who couldn't help her sister when she needed it most.
|
|
You're a stronger person now, and I know you won't let us down.
|
|
|
Cut! Quetzelica, I need to see tears in this scene. The audience should be mourning your self-doubt.
|
|
|
And Black Voodoo, don't rush it. We want to feel the tension before we know your true feelings. Now, take it from the top.
|
|
|
Wow, Bob, how did you become such a good director?
|
|
|
Working the Krusty Show helped, but it wasn't until prison that I learned how to remove hesitancy. Now I see a vision and just go for it.
|
|
Is that why all the best actors are reformed inmates?
|
|
|
If they were in my cell block, then yes.

|
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
|
Attention all! It's time for our big helicopter scene. We only get one shot at this, so let's give it our best.
|
|
Whoa, mama! That thing is awesome!
|
|
|
Hands off. The military is lending us their prototype for promotional purposes only.
|
|
This is the Ultra RX Kill-O-Bird 5000. It costs two hundred million taxpayer dollars.
|
|
Why risk it in a movie?
|
|
|
Son, putting high-tech military machinery on the big screen is the greatest recruitment tool we have.
|
|
Why, if I let you fly this puppy, I'll bet you'd want to join the Air Force!
|
|
|
Damn straight, I would!
|
|
Excuse me, that's my son, and he's a minor.
|
|
Of course, we wouldn't dream of recruiting minors.
|
|
|
*hands Bart a pamphlet* *whispers* Psst, come see me when Sergeant Wet Blanket isn't on duty.

Before we start filming, safety regulations require me to inspect the helicopter.
|
|
|
Knock yourself out.
|
|
You idiots! You've just given Sideshow Bob access to a helicopter he can use to escape.
|
|
That's ridiculous.
|
|
And here's an ending for your movie: the convicted felon flies off into the sunset.
|
|
|
Wait, you're leaving without even trying to kill me?
|
|
*sigh* I'd love to, Bart. But this movie has me a little burnt out.
|
|
|
If you want, I could try and cut your head off with the helicopter blades as I take off.
|
|
Nah, no need to force it.

|
|
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
We just lost our director! How will I know what motivations to use?
|
|
|
Who's going to tell me I did a great job after each scene even when I didn't?
|
|
|
And how will I know whether the camera is picking up my muscle definition?
|
|
Pfft, we all know those muscles are implants.
|
|
You take that back!
|
|
|
Only when you take that six pack back to the plastic surgeon!
|
|
The crew is tearing itself apart. It looks like your movie is once again a mess, Krusty.
|
|
*sigh* I never thought it'd come to this, but it's time to do the one thing I was avoiding.
|
|
Run that clown nose of yours through the dishwasher?
|
|
|
Okay, two things. That and it's time I actually tried to direct this movie.

|
I like you.
|
|
We all like you.
|
|
|
Really? I guess that blows that theory. Anyway, we've got an ending to shoot and that's exactly what we're gonna do!
|
|
I can't believe you don't like us.
|
|
|
Forget I said that.
|
|
I don't see how we can.
|
|
|
Oy vey. This is gonna be worse than I thought.

|
|
Kent Brockman, coming to you live from the red carpet of Polystar Pictures' "The Sands of Space" premiere...
|
|
This is the big night, Krusty. How are you feeling?
|
|
|
I'm feeling really confident about the picture.
|
|
Most directors would be a nervous wreck. What's your secret?
|
|
|
Someone once inspired me to remove all hesitancy and just go for my vision. That's what I did.
|
|
|
Was this inspiration your interim director who stole a multi-million-dollar helicopter in an elaborate prison escape?
|
|
|
Inspiration comes in many forms. No more questions.

|
Ladies and gentlemen, the reviews are in, and it's a hit!
|
|
A "hit" to the head, because that's what you'd have to have suffered to ever consider seeing this flop.
|
|
|
Where's it fall flat? The writing, the acting, the directing...?
|
|
|
Why don't we let this local comic book salesman sum it up for us.
|
|
Worst. Movie. Ever.
|
|
|
And there you have it.
