Krusty the Clown: Whoopsy! Heh, heh. My fault. I'm covering one of Wolfcastle's shifts while he's on location. We thought having celebrites serving the bean juice would help to increase business.

Krusty: Hey kid, would you mind not sending my paying customers out of here with their hearts in their hands? I'm barely staying afloat here.

Lisa: That's too bad. You I know, the coffee houses of old were packed to the rafters with poet-loving patrons.

Krusty: That's it! Starting tomorrow night I'll exploit, er, showcase your angstfilled prose.

Lisa: You mean I can have a forum to vent all the turmoil within?

Moe: Huh? Oh, no. I just caught a whiff of Barney's stink, but you did inspire me, kid. I got an idea...

Krusty: So, whaddya think?

Lisa: You can forget it! I don't mind hosting the show, but not dressed like Mike Tyson, It's insulting to my beatnik roots and vegetarian lifestyle.

Krusty: Come on, kid. You gotta do it. I'm starting to lose customers to that lousy Moe. Besides I've already printed up the signs! "Little Lisa the Pugilistic Poet Takes on any and all Comers." After you bout with Prince last week, the crowd is blood-thirsty. They just wanna see you take some poor sap apart, live, on stage. Figuratively speaking, of course. Although, if you really wanna hurt 'Im, so much the better. Ouch!

Krusty: Hey, come back here! Those trunks are rented!
