Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing There Goes My Heroes
Nelson - Grim There he is! Bart's walking into that dive bar!
Kearney - Happy I've been waiting all afternoon for this. Excuse me, is your toilet bowl regulation size?
Jimbo - Happy Yeah, we want to make sure the opening will fit the head of an average boy.
Ramrod - Annoyed Bart, I assume these are the bullies we're about to give a world of pain.
Kearney Whoa, Bart, you're friends with these biker dudes?!
Meathook Oh no, he's not our friend — he's part of our gang.
Kearney - Surprised You're in a biker gang now?! This changes everything. Sidebar!
Nelson - Happy Sidebar!
Kearney Guys, now that Bart is a real gang member, we should recruit him to join our band of bullies.
Nelson - Sad So we can't give him a swirly?
Kearney Not today. Having a real gang member join us would lend some much-needed legitimacy to our operation, and potentially cut down on attacks by the older scary high school bullies.
Jimbo - Scared I hate those guys!
Dolph So we all agree...sidebar over!
Nelson - Happy Sidebar over!
Kearney - Happy Bart, we have a proposal: join our bully gang and we'll make you Springfield Elementary royalty.
Jimbo - Smug Instead of you being a swirlee, you'll get to be the swirler.
Kearney - Happy We'll even hunt down Milhouse if you want him to be your first victim.
Bart Hmm, this is all very intriguing. Do you guys have a cool hangout like Spiro's?
Nelson Prepare to have your mind blown. Follow me to the Stolen Bicycle Graveyard.
Meathook - Sad Man, new recruits are so unreliable. The moment you initiate 'em, every gang in town tries to poach 'em.

Nelson Our old hangout was under the football bleachers, but it got turned into a mass vaccination site.
Bart I dig the archway built out of beach cruisers. Nice touch.
Nelson So...? Will you become a bully?
Bart I think I'm gonna stick with Spiro's Heroes.
Dolph - Surprised Come on! What does Spiro's have that the Stolen Bicycle Graveyard doesn't?
Bart - Thinking Well, for one: they have a roof, WiFi, and soda direct from the tap...
Kearney - Sad We can't compete with solid WiFi!
Bart - Happy Look, we can still form a partnership. How about we have a truce? You guys promise to leave me alone, and as a member of Spiro's Heroes I can guarantee your protection.
Dolph Sidebar!
Nelson I think this is a good deal for us. That biker gang can help us scare off the older bullies when they try to mess with us.
Jimbo Agreed.
Bart Agreed.
Dolph Sidebar over!
Nelson - Grim Alright, Bart. We agree to your terms.
Bart Spitshake?
Nelson *spits in his hand* Pleasure doing business.
Bart - Curious Do you have any hand sanitizer by chance? Can't be too careful these days.
Nelson - Angry I want to punch you so bad right now...but I can't.
Bart - Happy See? The partnership's already working.

Stolen Bicycle Graveyard

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
Homer - Pained Marge, do we have to go to Kirk and Luann's game night?
Kirk - Annoyed Homer, you're already here. And we're about to start playing Occupiers of Anatolia!
Homer - Snobby Ugh, sounds complicated.
Kirk Okay everyone, flip your occupier cards to see who goes first!
Marge Wait, before we start, one quick question: can I build unlimited aqueducts or only one at a time?
Kirk As many as you want.
Bernice Hibbert What if I want to trade my occupier card when it's not my turn?
Kirk You just wait until it is your turn.
Dr. Hibbert If I roll a double-three, do I get sent to the cistern or do I send someone else to the cistern?
Kirk Depends if you have two or more barley bundles.
Homer - Skeptical Ugh, this board game hasn't even started and it already sucks! I wish I could be doing fun biker gang stuff like Bart.
Marge - Confused What biker gang stuff?

Homer - Sad Man, I wish I had a motorcycle so I could be in a cool gang...
Homer - Happy Wait a second, I do have a motorcycle! And it's a vintage 1955 Harley-Davidson! I won it at a '50s dance competition at a diner!

Homer - Dreamy But don't you remember my bucket list? Number one: eat a bucket of fried chicken. Number two: eat another bucket of fried chicken!
Marge - Deadpan And number three...

Spiro's

Pt. 3[edit]

Spiro - Happy We're glad you decided to stick with Spiro's Heroes, Bart. With you on board, we can really make a difference in this town.
Bart - Curious Okay, but we're also gonna be doing badass biker gang stuff, right? I mean, there has to be a nearby music festival we can ride through and terrorize.
Meathook - Happy Look Bart, we know you're not old enough to ride a hog, so instead we got you a Spiro's Heroes leather jacket and an electric bike.
Bart - Happy Whoa, the license plate says "El Barto".
Spiro It sure does.
Wilbur Nurple - Annoyed So this is the inner circle of Spiro's Heroes, huh? The gang that thinks they can operate on our turf?
Bart - Sad Uh oh. I know this guy. He's one of the most notorious gang members in greater Springfield. One time he chased the bullies and me all over town.
Ramrod - Annoyed I thought you ran FROM the bullies, not WITH them.
Bart - Sneaky I've lived many lives, Ramrod. Many lives.
Wilbur Nurple Your friend Bart is right. I'm the leader of The Purple Nurples gang.
Bart - Curious You do realize that Spiro's Heroes is a gang that does good? So...we don't really have beef with you.
Wilbur Nurple - Happy We Purple Nurples are the same way. We defend those who receive purple nurples.
Wilbur Nurple - Sad Unfortunately, that was a little too long to fit on the back of our jackets, so we had to shorten it.
Meathook - Angry This town only has room for one group of defenders against wet willies, swirlies, and purple nurples!
Ramrod - Angry Gang fight!

Spiro Then there's only one way to resolve this conflict: The Ball of Death.

Homer - Happy I'm here to join the Spiro's Heroes. I know I didn't pass the written test, but I found my old motorcycle, so they've got to let me in now.
Meathook - Annoyed Just because you have a bike doesn't make you one of us.
Spiro Now, who is representing the Purple Nurples in the Ball of Death?
Wilbur Nurple - Happy I will represent The Purple Nurples. And who is your champion?
Meathook - Sad Well, I would do it, but my arthritic knee's been acting up.
Ramrod - Surprised Uh, I don't want to take all the glory, ya know after all the glory I've taken recently with other stuff. So I'll let somebody else take this round of Ball of Death.
Spiro - Annoyed Porkchop, you in? Really? You won't even do it?
Homer - Curious Bart, what is this Ball of Death I keep hearing about? It's not dangerous, is it?
