Treehouse of Horror XXXI transcript

## Prologue: The opening *Treehouse of Horror* intro

Bart and Lisa (with Maggie in her super safe stroller) are walking around on their way home from trick or treating.

Bart's dressed up as a pirate, Lisa's dressed up as the Statue of Liberty and Maggie's dressed up like a butterfly.

Bart: "Man, I'm so lucky to be finished trick or treating."

Lisa: "So am I, Bart, (they stop right by their house.) it sure is good to be back home again."

Bart: "Now we can relax ourselves and enjoy the show."

## Scene 1: The Springfield Laboratory

John: "What you're all about to see is my new invention: it can make many different copies of anybody or anything that you wish to see in your entire life, behold, the 1, the only, Duplicating Machine."

Milhouse: "Oh wow, I saw 1 of those in a science fiction movie myself."

John: "Lisa, step right up and let me test this machine on you."

Lisa walks right up to the Duplicating Machine.

Lisa: "Yes, Professor Frink? what would you like me to do here?"

John: "Just go right inside this machine and it'll make a clone of yourself."

Lisa goes right inside the Duplicating Machine 700.

John: "***Observe*** and ***watch*** what happens."

John pulls down the lever and a clone of Lisa appears and the real Lisa's outta the machine for now.

John: "it works, it really works!"

Lisa: "Hey, who are you? you look just like me."

Lisa Clone: "That's 'cause I'm your clone, your exact copy."

Lisa: "Would you care to join me, Janey, Sherri, Terri and the others for movie night?"

Lisa Clone: "Movie night? (we see an evil grin on her face) I think ***not***."

Lisa: "Oh my word, what kind of clone are you?!?"

The Lisa clone begins walking around on her way out to cause lots of trouble in Springfield.

Lisa: "Come on, Bart, we gotta go out there and stop my clone right before Mom and Dad find out about this."

Bart and Lisa (with Maggie in her super safe stroller) walk around outside to catch up with the Lisa clone.

Bart: "There she is,"

Lisa: "let's get her!"

Bart and Lisa (along with Maggie) chase right after the Lisa clone and finally catch her in the nick of time.

Lisa Clone: "Hey, get off me!"

Bart: "Now it's time to take you back home with all of us so we can see who the real Lisa is."

Bart, Lisa (with Maggie in her super safe stroller) and the Lisa clone walk around on their way back home to the Simpson family's house.

Lenny: "Oh wow, 2 Lisas?"

Ned: "but which 1's the real Lisa?"

Krusty: "and where did that duplicating machine come from?"

### Back home at the Simpson family's house

Bart: "Mom, Dad,"

Lisa: "there's something we gotta show you guys."

The Lisa clone shows up and Marge and Homer are shocked about it.

Marge: "Oh my word,"

Homer: "this can't be right, we can't have 2 Lisa's in our house."

Bart: "Well, Mom and Dad, just sit back and relax ourselves and we'll give you the test of who the real Lisa is: the real Lisa tells you the truth and the fraud Lisa tells you a fib."

Marge: "Now let's see: Lisa, who would you say is the real you."

Lisa: "She would say that I was the real Lisa,"

Lisa Clone: "and she would say that she was the real Lisa."

Homer: "Well obviously, the real Lisa's got no wind-up key in her back side, but the fraud Lisa's got a wind-up key in her back side, so the fraud Lisa's none other than number 2."

Bart: "Man, Dad's absoutely right all along."

Lisa: "Thanks a bunch, Bart, now to get rid of my clone for good."

Lisa gets rid of the Lisa clone and makes her disappear for good.

Marge: "Well that sure takes good care of that."

Homer: "No more clones in sight."
