This open and democratic discussion of the town's future is getting us nowhere.

It's time to let a wealthy businessman tell us what he plans to do.

What this town needs is more fun and games.
|
|
|
And the most fun kind of games are gaming games.
|
|

I shall build a "Center for Gaming," accompanied by rooms for sleeping and tables for eating and drinking.
|
|
He means a casino!
|
|
Oh, is that what it's called?
|
|
I'm afraid we'll have to say no, Mr. Burns. Springfield is a family town.

Getting a job at this casino was a great career move.
|
|
|
I've learned so much more about getting money out of drunks.
|

I think I'll open my own slots joint, if that's okay with you, Mr. Burns.
|

It's virtually a currency!

Hey, you. Don't leave the casino! You might feel sunlight on your neck or have to breathe non-smoke-filled air.
|
|
It's eight AM. I've been gambling all night.
|
|
|
But morning is the luckiest time of the day. A lot of times, bacon shows up.
|
|
It doesn't just "show up." I cook it by the metric ton!
|
|
Look, I want to keep gambling, but I think my wife might be giving birth right now.
|

Then start your kid off right in life, by putting all your savings on black.

Bringing my career record to 3 successes and 207 utter disasters.

We haven't seen so many jobs created here since the Feds built that dam in the Depression.
|
|
Is that the dam that burst in 1976 and destroyed downtown?
|
|
|
Focus on the positive. It also wiped out Shelbyville.

|
|
Smithers, it's wonderful that at my time of life, I have a chance to give back to the community...
|
|
|
By addicting them to gambling.
|
|
You're maybe too generous, sir.
|
|
The dealers cheat to help the players, the buffet is "All-you-can-carry-away-in-bag..."
|
|
|
And you give white tiger cubs to anyone who visits on their birthday.
|
|
|
Yes, I need an army of tiger poachers, but birthdays are special.
|
|
Sir, you've done something unheard of: created a casino that loses money.

|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
I wish everyone wasn't so excited about organized gambling.
|
|
|
Admit it, Marge. You don't like it when people have fun.
|
|
|
That's because fun equals dangerous.
|
|
Even the most fun thing in the world: knitting. I've poked myself so many times.
|
|
|
I'm going to do the one thing that's fun *and* safe.
|
|
Worry.

|
|
'Night, Marge. I'm headed to the casino.
|
|
|
Mmm. You know I like it better when you leave me alone with the children by going to Moe's.
|
|
But the casino never makes me feel bad about being there! At Moe's even the cockroaches are judgmental.
|
|
|
It's almost as if Mr. Burns set out to convince us to support legalized gambling no matter what.
|
|
But that's silly. Wealthy businessmen never have a hidden agenda. Otherwise I wouldn't be voting for Donald Trump.
|
|
|
Agreed, Marge. Let's all be distracted by fun games while rich people control our future.

Wonderful! Let's build a whole casino strip. More fun for every lout.
