Milhouse Van Houten: When using the telephone, be polite. Give your name and be friendly.

Bart: Hello, my name is Stuart Pidme. You can call me "Stu".

[On the other end of the call is Moe, at Moe's Tavern.]

Moe Szyslak: Hiya, Stu. How can I help you?

Milhouse: [continuing the lesson] Always be clear and concise.

Bart: I'm looking for Miss Suring. Her first name is Ann.

[The scene shifts back to Moe's Tavern, where Moe calls out for Bart's party.]

Moe: Got a phone call here. Stu Pidme for Ann Suring. Anyone know Stu Pidme?

Barney Gumble: I know you, Moe. [laughs]

[On the phone, Bart also laughs. Moe realizes he's been pranked.]

Moe: [angry] Yeah, yeah ... Very funny.

[Back at Bart's house, Milhouse keeps on with the lesson.]

Milhouse: If you've misdialed, apologize.

Bart: [still on the phone with Moe] I'm sorry. This must be the wrong number.

Moe: [mollified] Aw, that's okay, kid. That was the nicest crank call I ever had.

Milhouse: [concluding the lesson] Manners do matter!
