Bart the General/Transcript

Transcript for Bart the General.
==Part 1: Baking Cupcakes==
(The episode starts in the Simpson house with Homer standing by the oven)
HOMER: Do I smell cupcakes? (he opens the oven door, and sees the cupcakes) Oooh, do I ever!
MARGE: Ah-ah, Homer. Lisa's making these for her teacher.
HOMER: Ah, say no more.
(Bart comes in the kitchen and opens the oven door to look at the cupcakes)
BART: Yum! Don't mind if I do!
(Marge grabs hold of Bart's shirt)
MARGE: Bart!
BART: Oh, man!
LISA: Keep your greasy mitts out of there!
MARGE: These are for Lisa's class.
LISA: It's Mrs. Hoover's birthday.
BART: You know, there are names for people like you!
LISA: No there aren't.
BART: Teacher's pet, apple polisher, butt kisser-
HOMER: Bart! You're saying “butt kisser” like it's a bad thing.
BART: Huh?
(Homer invites Bart to sit on his lap)
HOMER: Well, you see, boy, it never hurts to grease the wheels a little.
LISA: I'm not greasing the wheels, Dad. I like my teacher.
HOMER: (to Lisa) Sure, Lis. (to Bart) You see how it works, Bart? A cupcake here, a good grade there.
LISA: Dad, I get good grades because I'm smart and I pay attention and I study hard.
HOMER: Yeah, right, Lisa. It's the three roads to success, Bart: Work, brains, and (holds up a cupcake) hmm...
LISA: Oh, brother.
(The school bus pulls up and honks its horn)
BART: Uh-oh, school bus! Gotta go!
(Homer opens his mouth to eat the cupcake in his hand, but Lisa grabs it before Homer can bite it)
LISA: Heh, heh, heh.
HOMER: D'oh!
==Part 2: On the School Bus==
(Bart and Lisa enter the school bus)
BART: Yo, Otto, man!
OTTO: Yo, Bart dude!
BART: Hey, can you believe it, man? My sister here made a whole pile of cupcakes to butter up her teacher, and she won't give anybody else even one measly little crumb.
OTTO: That's bad news, man.
LISA: Here, Otto. I made an extra one for you.
OTTO: Oh, thanks, little lady.
LISA: You're welcome.
(Bart sits next to Lisa on the bus. The bus takes off and Lisa's cupcake box jumps. Children scream and laugh in happiness. Bart and Lisa grab the box)
BART: Whoa, better let me hold these, Lis.
LISA: Forget it.
BART: You sniveling toad! You little egg sucker!
LISA: Tell me more.
BART: Back-scratcher. Foot-licker. Honor student!
LISA: You'll never get one now, Mr. Name-Caller.
BART: All right, all right. Look, I'm sorry. I-I got upset. In the heat of the moment, I said some things I didn't mean.
LISA: You weren't thinking, were you?
BART: No.
LISA: I'm not a sniveling toad, am I?
BART: Not really.
LISA: I'm not a little egg sucker, am I?
BART: Of course not.
LISA: Then, what am I?
BART: A beautiful human being.
LISA: What do you like best about me?
BART: Well, I'd have to say your generous nature, your spirit of giving.
LISA: Well, open your mouth and close your eyes, and you will get a big surprise!
(Bart opens his mouth)
BART: Ahh!
(The bus jolts and one cupcake drops onto the floor. Lisa grabs it and throws it into Bart's mouth)
BART: Thanks, Lis! You're the best.
==Part 3: Nelson Muntz and the Weasels' Debut==
(The bus jolts and leaves the school)
LISA: Look, Jamie. Cupcakes.
YELLOW WEASEL: Ah, give me that!
(One of Nelson Muntz's weasels, the yellow weasel, grabs the box and eats the cupcakes)
LISA: Hey, give those back!
(Bart runs over to Lisa and the yellow weasel)
BART: Hey what’s the big idea? That’s my sister, man.
YELLOW WEASEL: So what?
BART: So give her back those cupcakes before I knock your block off!
LISA: Don't, Bart! He's a friend of Nelson Muntz!
(The yellow weasel drops the box of cupcakes on the ground and steps on it. Bart looks down in anger. Children around them start cheering. Bart and the yellow weasel stare at each other as the children continue to cheer. Bart jumps onto the yellow weasel and fights him. However, Bart is grabbed off of him by Nelson Muntz. Bart punches Nelson while swinging his fists blindly in all directions, but Nelson toughly throws Bart onto the grass)
BART: Wha-?
YELLOW WEASEL: Nelson, you're bleeding!
NELSON: Naw, happens all the time. Somebody else's blood splatters on me.
(He sniffs and realizes that the blood that is dripping from his nose is his own)
NELSON: Hey, wait a minute. (to Bart) You're right. You made me bleed my own blood!
(The children around Bart gasp while he winces)
BART: It was an accident, man. A terrible, ghastly mistake. Ask anybody.
(Nobody answers as a cold wind passes)
BART: Uh-oh. A cold wind.
(Principal Skinner arrives and walks over towards the children)
SKINNER: Hello, kids. Everything above the board here? Good. Play friendly, children.
(The school bell rings)
SKINNER: Uh-oh, there's your bell. Come along, now, all of you. No dawdling, now.
NELSON: I'll get you after school, man. (pinches Bart)
BART: But-
SKINNER: No, no, no. He'll get you after school, son. Now hurry up. It's time for class.
BART: But-
SKINNER: Scoot, young Simpson. There's learning afoot.
==Part 4: Bart's Nightmare of Nelson/In the Lunchroom/Bart's Dream of His Funeral==
(Bart enters inside the school. In Mrs. Krabappel's classroom, everyone except Bart is reading a book, while Bart dreams about what will happen when Nelson beats him up)
BART: Okay, Nelson, put up your dukes! (Nelson appears by Bart) Whaa!
(Bart runs away from Nelson in fear as he enters the school and closes the door. However, a giant Nelson destroys the door as he stomps in)
BART: Yikes!
(Bart throws several knives at Nelson, which are plastic and Nelson drags them off of his body)
NELSON: Ha, ha, ha!
(Bart starts shooting Nelson with a gun, but the bullets fall off of Nelson as they fail to shoot him)
NELSON: Ha, ha, ha!
BART: Oh!
(Bart throws the gun, which is caught by Nelson and he eats it whole. Bart screams as he runs up the stairs, but he is closely followed by Nelson. The stairs stop at a dead end and they fall as Nelson grabs Bart)
NELSON: Mmm! Lunchtime! Ha, ha, ha! Lunchtime!
(As Nelson swallows him whole, Bart screams while he travels down Nelson's esophagus. The nightmare ends as Milhouse wakes Bart up, telling him that it's lunchtime)
MILHOUSE: Lunchtime, Bart! It's lunchtime!
(Bart and Milhouse are in the school hallway, on their way to the lunchroom)
BART: I ain't gonna get out of the fourth grade alive.
MILHOUSE: You've gotta tell Principal Skinner, Bart.
BART: I can't squeal. It would violate the code of the schoolyard.
(The two enter the lunchroom)
LISA: Hey, everybody! Here comes my brother, Bart the bully-killer!
(Children cheer for Bart)
CHILD: You're our hero, Bart!
BART: Look, everybody. I would just assume you won't make a big deal out of this. I'm not sayin' I'm not a hero. I'm just saying that I fear for my safety.
(Nelson marches out of the crowd)
COWARD: Look out!
(All of the children run away, leaving Bart alone while Nelson looks at him)
BART: Nelson, it was all a mistake. This is how it happened, man. Listen up. You may get a kick out of it. My sister was making cupcakes this morning and-
NELSON: I'll see you at the flagpole at 3:15.
YELLOW WEASEL: And you better be prompt.
BLACK WEASEL: He has four other beatings scheduled this afternoon.
(Back in class, Bart wonders what other thing will happen when Nelson beats him up. Bart dreams that he is dead in a coffin holding his lunchbox, and his dead corpse is at a funeral parlor. Otto walks in first)
OTTO: Goodbye, little dude. He looks so lifelike, man. (Skinner walks in)
SKINNER: Yes. The school nurse did a wonderful job reconstructing his little face after the fight. Goodbye, son. I guess you were right. All that homework was a waste of your time.
(Otto and Skinner leave as Milhouse walks in)
MILHOUSE: Thanks, Bart. We got the day off from school for this.
(Milhouse leaves as Homer, Marge, and Maggie walk in)
HOMER: (happily) Yeah, and I got the day off from work.
MARGE: Homer!
HOMER: (sadly) Who wants a day off from work when I'm never gonna see my beloved son again?! Oh, Bart! Ohh, Baaaart!
(Homer leans onto the coffin and sobs)
MARGE: That's better, Homer. Be brave. Bye bye, Bart. You were always my special little guy. (sniffs)
(Marge holds up Maggie so she can see Bart's dead corpse. Marge then leaves after Maggie looks at the corpse as Lisa walks in with a cupcake)
LISA: Bart, here's that cupcake you wanted. I can't help but think if I had just given it to you in the first place, this whole horrible tragedy could have been avoided. I know you can't eat it now, so I'll just place it lovingly on your forehead.
NELSON: Hey, look. They got food at this thing. Here's one for the road, dude.
(Nelson punches Bart in the stomach and the dream ends)
==Part 5: Bart's First Fight with Nelson==
(The school bell rings. Outside, the clock shows “3:15”. Bart attempts to hide from Nelson and his weasels but he lands in front of them)
NELSON: Put 'em up.
(The three punch Bart until he is knocked on the floor)
BART: Boy, you sure taught me a lesson.
(Bart is dragged along)
BART: Thanks guys. I guess all that's left is a hearty handshake. Right guys?
NELSON: I'm gonna get you again tomorrow, Simpson!
(Bart is thrown in a dustbin)
WEASEL 2: Is 3:15 good for ya?
BART: Uh, not really.
WEASEL 2: Too bad.
(Bart is thrown down the street with the dustbin)
==Part 6: Marge and Homer's Fighting Advice==
(The dustbin arrives at the Simpson household. Bart groans and falls on the floor. He picks himself up and enters the house)
BART: Hi, mom, hi dad.
HOMER: Tough day at school, boy?
MARGE: Bart, what happened to you?
BART: Let's just say I payed the inevitable price for helping out my sister.
HOMER: So, you had a little scuffle, eh? He-he. Hope you won!
(Bart enters the bathroom and looks in the mirror)
BART: I'm gonna miss ya, big guy.
(Bart groans and goes into the bathtub. Homer peeks in)
HOMER: Bart, your mother has the fool idea that (slows down) you're upset about something.
(Pan to bathtub, where Bart is crying)
BART: Dad, I need help...please. Oh.
HOMER: Now, come on, Bart, we don't want your mother to see you crying.
BART: Oh, man.
HOMER: Here, let me dry those tears.
(A tear drops from Bart's eye, and Homer blows it away with a hairdryer)
HOMER: So, what's the problem, son?
BART: I had a run-in with....a bully.
Marge enters.
MARGE: A bully!
HOMER: Oh, come on Marge! I don't bug you when you're helping Lisa.
MARGE: Well, Bart, I hope you're going straight to the principal about this.
BART: I guess I could do that.
HOMER: What, and violate the code of the schoolyard?! I'd rather Bart die!
MARGE: What on earth are you talking about, Homer?!
HOMER: The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy to be a man!
(Bart looks at Homer and Marge fighting)
HOMER: Let's see. Don't tattle, always make fun of those different from you, never say anything unless everyone feels exactly the same way you do. And what else?
MARGE: Oh, Homer, that's ridiculous! Bart, instead of fighting why don't you try a little bit of understanding.
BART: What do you mean, mom?
HOMER: Yeah right, this ought to be good for a laugh!
MARGE: Shhh! This bully friend of yours, is he a little on the chunky side?
BART: Yeah, he's pretty chunkified all right.
MARGE: Mmmhmm. And I bet he doesn't do well in his studies either.
BART: No, he's pretty dumb. He's in all the same special classes I am.
MARGE: That's why he lashes out at the world.
HOMER: Oh, Marge.
MARGE: So tomorrow, instead of bickering with this boy, talk to him. He'll be surprised at how a little understanding will go.
(Homer pulls Bart out of the bathtub)
HOMER: Well, thank you very much Mrs. Maharishi Gandhi. Let's go boy.
(Marge growls. In the living room, Homer draws a simple face onto a grey punching bag)
HOMER: Now here's that boy of yours. Show me your stuff.
(Bart weakly punches the bag, much to Homer's surprise)
HOMER: No-no, not like that. Heeearrgh!
(Homer jumps onto the punching bag, causing Bart to wince. Homer grabs the skin of it with his teeth. He spits the skin out)
HOMER: See that boy, you didn't expect that, did you? And neither will he.
BART: You mean I should fight dirty, Dad?
HOMER: Unfortunately, son, we Simpsons sometimes have to bend the rules a little in order to hold our own.
BART: Amen.
HOMER: So next time this boy thinks you're gonna through a punch, you throw a glob of mud in his eye! And then you sock him when he's staggering around blinded!
BART: Yeah!
HOMER: And there's nothing wrong with hitting someone when his back is turned.
BART: Gotcha.
HOMER: And if you get the chance, get him right in the family jewels. That little doozy's been a Simpsons trademark for generations.
(Homer punches the bag again)
BART: Thanks, pap.
(Homer smiles)
==Part 7: Bart's Second Fight with Nelson==
(The next day, Bart has another encounter with Nelson Muntz)
BART: Whoa! (slips on mud)
NELSON: Put 'em up!
BART: Huh! (throws mud in Nelson's eye and punches him gently)
(Nelson wipes the mud off his face)
NELSON: Rrrr.
(Homer appears in a bubble)
HOMER: Remember the family jewels, son.
(Bart attempts to punch Nelson but is pushed away. Bart looks into the bubble, but Homer shrugs. Nelson then punches Bart continually. Homer winces in the bubble)
BART: (yelps) Oh no boys, not the can, please.
HOMER: D'oh.
(The trash can is sent down the path again until it stops at the Simpsons' house, where Lisa is sitting licking an ice cream. Lisa looks at Bart while he crawls out of the trash can)
LISA: Bart, you can't go on like this.
BART: I know. (coughs out his hat)
LISA: Why don't you go see Grampa?
BART: What can he do? (slaps himself)
LISA: He'll give you good advice, he's the toughest Simpson alive.
BART: He is?
LISA: Yes, remember the fight he put up when we put him in the home.
==Part 8: Abraham Simpson II Gives Bart Advice==
(The screen pans to the Springfield Retirement Castle)
BART: I'm here to see Grampa.
(Immediately, all the “Grampas” appear)
LADY: Half the people here are named “Grampa”.
BART: Well, Grampa Simpson then.
(All the other “Grampas” then growl and go inside their rooms)
LADY: Second floor, third dank room on the left.
BART: Thanks, lady.
(Bart goes upstairs. Abe is writing a letter on his typewriter)
ABE: Dear Advertisers, I am disgusted at the way old people are depicted on television. We are not all vibrant, fun-loving sex maniacs. Many of us are bitter, resentful individuals who remember the good old days, when entertainment was bland and inoffensive. (pans to door) The following is a list of words I never want to hear on television again: Number 1: Bra, Number 2: Horny, Number 3: Family jewels.
(Bart opens the door)
BART: Hi, Grampa.
ABE: (screams) Bart, what brings you here?
BART: I need some advice, Grampa. See, there's this bully at school, he keeps beating me up.
ABE: Let me tell ya something boy. If you don't stand up for yourself, bullies are gonna keep picking on ya for the rest of your life.
(Jasper opens the door)
JASPER: Simpson, give me the newspaper.
ABE: Why should I?
JASPER: I wanna do the crossword puzzle.
ABE: No, I wanna do the crossword puzzle!
JASPER: I said gimme that puzzle!
ABE: No!
JASPER: Gimme!
ABE: No!
JASPER: Gimme!
ABE: No!
(The two fight over the newspaper)
ABE: The kid's here!
(Jasper wins the newspaper.)
JASPER: He-he-he-he!
ABE: Well, I guess I can't help ya, but I know someone who can.
==Part 9: A Trip to Herman's==
(The screen pans to “Herman's Military Antiques”)
BART: Here?
ABE: Yep, this is it.
(Herman opens the door)
HERMAN: What's the password?
ABE: Let me in, you idiot!
HERMAN: Yeah, right you are.
(Pans to inside store, where the three walk to the counter, Bart gazing around in awe)
ABE: So Herman, has the large-type edition of this month's “Soldier of Fortune” come in yet?
HERMAN: Not yet. But can I interest you in some authentic Nazi underpants?
ABE: No! Actually we came over because I want you to meet my grandson, Bart.
HERMAN: Hello, young American.
BART: Hello, sir. Er, Mr. Herman.
HERMAN: Yes?
BART: (stuttering) Did you lose your arm in the war?
HERMAN: My arm? Well, lemme put it this way. Next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!
BART: (frightened) Yes, sir. I will.
ABE: Bart's got a problem with a local young bully named Nelson. I thought you could help him with some kind of strategy.
HERMAN: Strategy. Hmm...How many men do you have?
BART: None.
HERMAN: You'll need more. And you'll need to train them, hard. Now, let's see. (looks behind counter) Ah, OK! The key to Springfield has always been Elm Street. The Greeks knew it. The Carthaginians knew it. Now you know it. First, you'll need a declaration of war. That way, everything you do will be nice and legal. OK, I can use this one from the Franco-Prussian War. I'll just change “Otto von Bismarck” to read “Bart Simpson”. And then.....
BART: Psst. Grampa, I think this guy's a little nuts.
ABE: Oh, yeah? Well, General George S. Patton was a little nuts. And this guy is completely out of his mind!
(Pans to Herman, who is writing on the paper)
ABE: We can't fail!
==Part 10: The School Convenes==
(Pans to Bart's face and then pans to school. In Bart's class, a note is being passed around)
LEWIS: Psst. Pass it on.
(Lewis gives it to Milhouse, who looks at the note. It reads: “If you hate and fear Nelson, meet at Bart's treehouse. 1500 hrs (3pm).” Pans to Bart's treehouse, where many children, Herman, and Abe are waiting for Bart to arrive. Children chatter)
CHILD: I wonder what we're doin' here anyway.
ABE: I wonder where Bart is.
HERMAN: Yeah, (looks at watch) it's way past fifteen hundred hours.
(Pans to entrance of treehouse. Bart is entering, beaten up by Nelson yet again. Bart coughs out his hat and puts it on a peg. Bart goes behind a box)
BART: Oh, we all know why we're here, right?
MILHOUSE: No, why?
BART: To fight Nelson, the bully.
(Chattering begins)
BART: That guy's been tormenting all of us for years, and I, for one, am sick of it! I can't promise you victory. I can't promise you good times. But, the one thing I do know...
(Children leave)
BART: Whoa, whoa! All right! OK! I promise you victory! I promise you good times!
==Part 11: Training for the Fight==
(Children cheer. Pan to forest, where Bart is training his army)
BART: I got a B in arithmetic.
CHILDREN: I got a B in arithmetic.
BART: Would've got an A, but I was sick.
CHILDREN: Would've got an A, but I was sick.
(Pan to playground, where children are jumping to and from monkey bars. Milhouse falls down, he gets up, a child knocks him over. In another area, Bart is training his army on the climbing frame. Next, running around dustbins, where a child falls into one and tips over. Training in the forest again)
BART: We are rubber, you are glue.
CHILDREN: We are rubber, you are glue.
BART: It bounces off us, and sticks to you.
CHILDREN: It bounces off us, and sticks to you.
BART: Sound off!
CHILDREN: One, two!
BART: Sound off!
CHILDREN: Three, four!
(Next, Bart is standing in a small pond, where children are hopping across a stone to get to the other side. The stone is revealed to be a child's helmet. Children are walking along through mud, where Bart is watching. Bart has a blade of grass in his mouth, which he spits out. It's sunset and Bart is still training his army on the climbing frame again. Next day, Bart is showing his army the design of the water balloon. The balloon pops in Bart's hand)
BART:: Go!
(The army now has to pass a building with a guard dog in it, which is barking and growling. Pans to Bart talking to a young child)
BART: What's the matter with you, soldier?
COWARD: It's my nerves, sir. I just can't stand the barking anymore.
BART: Your nerves!
(Bart slaps the child and a tear drops from the child's eye)
BART: I won't have cowards in my army!
(Abe slaps him)
BART: Ow!
ABE: Sorry, Bart. You can push them out of a plane, you can march them off a cliff, you can send them off to die on some godforsaken rock, but for some reason you can't slap them. Now apologize to that boy right now.
BART: Sorry, man.
COWARD: It's cool.
(Back to marching in the forest again.)
BART: In English class I did the best.
CHILDREN: In English class I did the best.
BART: Because I cheated on the test.
CHILDREN: Because I cheated on the test.
BART: Sound off.
CHILDREN: One, two.
BART: I can't hear you!
CHILDREN: Three, four!
BART: All right! There's your enemy! Now hit him!
(Children hit a pillow)
BART: OK, next group! Martinez! Steinberg! O'Hara! Chang! Olajuwan! Herman!
(Herman rips the pillow apart with a gun. Bart watches)
HERMAN: (growls) Die! Die!
(Back to marching in the forest)
BART: We are happy, we are merry.
CHILDREN: We are happy, we are merry.
BART: We got a rhyming dictionary.
CHILDREN: We got a rhyming dictionary.
BART: Sound off.
BART AND CHILDREN: One, two.
BART: One more time.
BART AND CHILDREN: Three, four.
BART: Bring it on home, now...
BART AND CHILDREN: One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
==Part 12: Battle Preparations==
(Pan to Bart's treehouse where Herman, Abe, Lisa and Bart stand around a scale model of the site where the war begins, with salt and pepper shakers as the people)
MILHOUSE: Nelson's at the Elm Street video arcade.
BART: Intelligence indicates he shakes down kids for quarters at the arcade, then heads to the Kwik-E-Mart for a cherry Squishee.
HERMAN: And that's where we'll hit him. When he leaves the Kwik-E-Mart, we start the saturation bombing. Got the water balloons?
BART: 200 rounds, sir. (holds up a water balloon) Is it OK if they say “Happy Birthday” on the side?
HERMAN: I'd rather they say “Death From Above”, but I guess we're stuck. OK. The main force will be split into two groups. One will circle around this way to cut off the enemy's retreat and the other will drive in this way. Closing the trap. It's a classic pincer's movement. It can't fail against a 10-year old!
(Abe laughs)
LEWIS: Nelson's at the arcade, General.
BART: Battle stations!
HERMAN: I feel so alive!
ABE: You know, I thought I was too old. I thought my time had passed. I thought I'd never hear the screams of pain or see the look of terror in a young man's eyes. Thank heaven for children!
==Part 13: The Big Fight==
(Pan to Elm Street, where Bart is looking at Nelson and his weasels)
WEASEL 2: Hey, great Squishees.
WEASEL 1: What flavour did you get?
WEASEL 2: Blue.
NELSON: Hey, you two birds. You're going to be sucking all your meals through straws if you don't shut your traps.
(Bart walks out of the bush)
NELSON: Well, lookie here. Little Bart Simpson.
BART: Nelson, I'm afraid I'm going have to teach you a lesson.
NELSON: Ha! Oh, yeah? You and what army?
BART: This one.
(Bart's army appears out of bushes, buildings, trees, vans, etc.)
BART: Artillery. Commence saturation bombing!
(Children start throwing water balloons at Nelson and his weasels, shouting throughout. Bart's army chases the three through town, then past Evergreen Terrace. Homer goes out to see what is going on outside)
HOMER: All right, you kids! Keep it down! Am I making myself...
(Homer is hit by a water balloon from Abe. Herman is looking down at the war through binoculars)
ABE: He-he-he, got him.
HOMER: You! Up in the tree! The tall grey-haired kid. Get your butt down here right now!
(Abe hits Homer with a water balloon again. Homer goes inside and another water balloon is thrown and hits the door. Meanwhile, Nelson and his weasels are trapped)
WEASELS: No, wait!
WEASEL 1: Don't hurt us!
WEASEL 2: We surrender!
WEASEL 1: We were only following orders!
(This makes the army throw the water balloons at only Nelson. Later, children cheer at the sight of Milhouse pulling Nelson tied up in a red wagon. A kid runs over to kiss Lisa, and a photo is taken)
LISA: Ew! (slaps the boy) Knock it off!
(Cheering continues. Later, Bart goes over to Nelson who is still tied up in the wagon)
BART: At least you learned your lesson so now I'll untie you.
NELSON: The second you untie me, I'm gonna beat you to death, man.
BART: Well, if that's gonna be your attitude, then I'm not gonna untie you.
NELSON: Ha! You're gonna have to sometime!
BART: Uh-oh. He's right.
HERMAN: Don't you worry. I was ready for this little eventuality.
==Part 14: Finale==
(Inside the Simpsons' house, Nelson is tied up on the couch, watching TV with Homer, Lisa and Maggie. Herman, Bart and Abe are round a table with a paper)
HERMAN: Armistice Treaty, article four: Nelson is never again to raise his fists in anger. Article Five: Nelson recognizes Bart's right to exist. Article Six: Although Nelson shall have no official power he shall remain a figurehead of menace in the neighbourhood.
BART: Wow. It sounds good to me. OK, I'll sign.
HOMER: What about you, boy?
NELSON: All right, I'll sign.
(Marge enters)
MARGE: Are you boys through playing war?
BART: Yeah.
NELSON: Yes, Mrs. Simpson.
MARGE: Good. Then here's some cupcakes.
BART: Oh, boy!
HOMER: Oooh, cupcakes.
(Abe, Marge, Homer, Bart, Herman, Nelson, Lisa and Maggie are all eating cupcakes as the scene ends. Pan to Bart, sitting on a table in the library talking to the viewers)
BART: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II and the Star Wars trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there are lots of books in your library with cool, gory pictures. Well, good night, everybody. Peace, man.
