## Prologue: The Opening Theme Tune Intro

Male Robotic Voices: ***The Simpsons***

Clancy: ***back again for season 32***

[Rock And Roll Version Of *The Simpsons* Theme Tune In Background]

There’s a billboard that reads: *Always trust other people's wishes*

Ralph is enjoying his strawberry ice cream treat while Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney are sawing off the head of the statue of Jebediah Springfield, but the head lands right on Ralph’s head.

Ralph: AAAAAAAAAAAH!

Bart is seen writing *I will not tell fibs* 28 times on the chalkboard.

[School Bell Ringing]

Bart skateboards outta the school building, all the way back home to the Simpson family’s house.

Dewy is conducting the student’s music while Lisa is playing her saxophone uncontrollably while walking out the door.

Homer is seen working at the Nuclear Power Plant while Mr. Burns, Smithers, Lenny and Carl are watching above him, and he finds a green radiation orb.

[Steam Whistle Sounds]

Homer leaves to drive back home from work.

Marge and Maggie are grocery shopping, but the cashier picks up Maggie and scans her by mistake and Marge rescues her immediately.

Homer is driving around while Bart is still skateboarding.

Marge and Maggie are now driving back home to their house.

Outside the Simpson family’s house, Homer is standing by the open garage, just as Lisa scoots right past him on her bicycle.

Homer: “D’oh!”

The Simpson family’s car is just about to pull right into the driveway.

Homer: AAAAAAAAAAAH!

Homer rushes right back inside the house, and the 5 members of The Simpson family are about to sit on the sofa, but it comes to life and begins looking them and smiling at them.

## Scene 1: The Simpson family's house

Marge is packing Bart and Lisa's lunches in their lunch boxes.

[Wireless Telephone Ringing]

Marge: "Lisa, could you get the telephone, please?"

Lisa: "Sure, Mom, I got it."

Lisa answers the wireless telephone.

Lisa (on the wireless telehpone): "Hello?"

Rita (on her smart phone): "Why hello, Lisa, it's your Grandma Rita, is your father there?"

Lisa (on the wireless telephone): "No, Grandma Rita, Dad went to work at the Nuclear Power Plant and Bart and I are about to leave for school, can you please take a message?"

Rita (on her smart phone): "Just tell your father that your Grandma Jackie doesn't have very much longer to live."

Lisa's heart sinks right in her chest just as she knows Jackie's time might come real soon.

Rita (on her smart phone): "Lisa, are you still there?"

Lisa (holding back her tear drops): "Uh......yeah.....I'm........right......here."

Rita (on her smart phone): "Did you get the message about your Grandma Jackie?"

Lisa (on the wireless telephone): "Yes, Grandma Rita, I'll make sure to give Dad that message, well Bart and I gotta go to school, bye, Grandma Rita."

Lisa and Rita both hang up.

Marge: "Lisa, who was that on the telephone?"

Lisa: "That was Grandma Rita, Mom, Grandma Jackie's not doing too well and she might be on the verge of.....of....[Teared Up] I just can't say it."

Marge puts Lisa's lunch box down and places her right hand on her right shoulder.

Marge: "I understand that your 1st grandmother's super special to you, tell you what, I'll speak with your father, and right after school we'll see to paying Grandma Jackie a visit."

Lisa: "Okay, Mom,"

Bart: "thanks a bunch."

Bart and Lisa grab their lunch boxes and go right out the front door and drive around on the Springfield Elementary School bus on their way to the Springfield Elementary School building.

### Springfield Elementary School/the lunch room

Janey: "Are you alright, Lisa?"

Sadie: "You seem a bit distracted."

Lisa: "No, you guys, it's mine, Bart and Maggie's Grandma Jackie, she's in Springfield General Hospital, I think she might be-"

Lisa: "Oh crap."

Sherri: "Don't worry about it, Lisa,"

Terri: "she's in Springfield General Hospital, right?"

Cut to Bart, Milhouse and the other students from Carol Berrara's class.......

Milhouse: "Wasn't it super thrilling how Radioactive Man destroyed the evil spider king?"

Bart: "Oh yeah, Milhouse, it was super thrilling."

Marge enters the Springfield Elementary School lunch room.

Marge: "Come on, Bart and Lisa, let's go."

Bart: "Okay, Mom,"

Lisa: "here we come."

Bart and Lisa follow Marge (with Maggie) and drive around on their way to the Nuclear Power Plant.

Bart: "Where are we going, Mom?"

Marge: "We're picking up your father from the Nuclear Power Plant and heading up to Springfield General Hospital where your Grandma Jackie's stationed, I recieved a telephone call from your Aunt Patty, your Aunt Selma, your Uncle Boris and your Grandma Rita today and she doesn't have much time left, it'll be a relief if she's still alive when we get there so you kids can see her and tell her goodbye as well."

### The Nuclear Power Plant

Lenny: "Hey, Homer,"

Carl: "your wife and 3 kids are here to pick you up."

Homer: "Goodbye, you guys, thanks a bunch for everything."

Smithers: "No problem, Homer,"

Mr. Burns: "everything's under proper control."

Homer gets right into the Simpson family's car and Lisa's doing her spelling vocabulary.

Marge: "Lisa, spell the word *cupcake*."

Lisa: "C-U-P-C-A-K-E."

Marge: "That's correct, now spell the word comic."

Lisa: "C-O-M-I-C."

Marge: "Correct again."

The Simpson family's car pulls right up at the parking lot of Springfield General Hospital.

Homer: "Okay, here we are."

### Outside Springfield General Hospital

Bart: [Gulps Nervously]

Lisa: "Bart, what's the matter with you?"

Bart: "It's just that I don't like hospitals that much, Lisa."

Lisa: "Don't worry about it, Bart, we're right with you, I'm pretty sure a smiling face from Grandma Jackie can cheer you up a bit."

Bart, Lisa, Marge (with Maggie) and Homer walk right up to the receptionist woman.

Homer: "We're here to pay my mother in law a visit."

Receptionist Woman: "She's upstairs in room 236, take the elevator to the 5th floor, it'll be the 2nd room on your right down the hallway."

Homer: "Thanks a bunch, ma'am."

The Simpson family members go right in the elevator and go right up to Jackie's hospital room and see Patty and Selma hunched right over Jackie's hospital bed in silent tear drops and they're terribly upset that they didn't even see the Simpson family members come right in.

Marge: "Mom, Patty, Selma, Boris, Ling, Rita, guys, we're here."

Dr. Hibbert: "Marge, this isn't easy for us to tell you,"

Dr. Nick: "but your mother's gone for good right now."

The entire family looks around at Jackie's death bed.

Lisa: [Gasps In Shock]

Lisa: [Sobbing SIlently]

Lisa runs right outta Jackie's hospital room.

Marge: "Lisa, come back here."

[Crash!]

Marge: "Lisa, are you alright?"

Nurse Number 1: "What's going on around here?"

Marge: "Oh thank goodness you're here, my 2nd born daughter, a bit freaked out over the passing of their 1st grandmother, ran right out in the hallway and had a bit of an accident here."

Nurse Number 2: "Well let's get your daughter checked out then."

The nurses check out Lisa and they find no scrapes or bruises all over her entire body.

Homer: "Marge, what just happened to Lisa?"

Marge: "Lisa had a bit of an accident, Homer, but the nurses tested her just perfectly fine."

Fade to another black screen.......

Fox Network Announcer: "Don't go away, The Simpsons will be right back, right after these commercial breaks."

End of commercial breaks.......

Fox Network Announcer: "And now, back to *The Simpsons*, on Fox Network."

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

The Simpson family are now at the dinner table and Marge had just opened up 2 cans of Manhattan clam chowder and veggie noodle soup for their dinner meals, but nobody's in the mood for eating anything in particular, especially not Lisa.

Lisa: "It's just not fair, 1st our 1st cat, Snowball 1 left me, then my jazz mentor, Bleeding Gums Murphy, then our 2nd cat, Snowball 2, then our 3rd cat, Snowball 3, then our 4th cat, Snowball IV, then the 4th grade class hamster, Snuffy and now Grandma Jackie, why did she need to pass away?"

Marge: "Well, Lisa, just like the 2 Mrs. Flanderses, your Vegas mother, your jazz mentor, our 4 cats, your Great Aunt Gladys and your Grampa Simpson, my mother's in the skies of heaven right now, but I agree with you, [Teared Up] why did she need to pass away so soon?"

Lisa: "Can I be excused?"

Bart, Maggie, Marge and Homer nod their heads to say yes in agreement.

Cut to Lisa looking at a photo album with Jackie's memories.......

Marge (from in the dining room, speaking with Patty on the wireless telephone): "Patty, I don't know if I want the casket open or not."

Lisa: "I sure hope I don't get to see Grandma Jackie's deceased body again, that was very disturbing."

Marge: "Okay, a closed casket funeral ceremony it is."

### The Springfield Elementary School playground

Janey: "How's your grandmother, Lisa?"

Lisa: "She passed away right before we even made it to visit her in Springfield General Hospital."

Sadie: "Oh wow,"

Felicia: "we're terribly sorry."

Lisa: "Thanks a bunch."

### Elizabeth Hoover's 2nd grade classroom

Lisa: "Miss Hoover, you don't need to give me any homework right now."

Elizabeth: "Of course I don't need to, Lisa, but you need to heal yourself, I lost my father last year, so I know how it really feels, you just hang in there, they'll get better in the nick of time."

Meanwhile right after Bart and Lisa left home from school to go to Jackie's funeral service at the 1st Church of Springfield.......

### The 1st Church of Springfield

Lisa: [Thinking] "At least I don't get to see Grandma Jackie's deceased body again,"

Bart: [Thinking] "Neither do I."

The Simpson family members go right inside where Jackie's funeral ceremony's taking place.

Timothy: "We're all here to honor the memories of Jacqueline Ingrid Bouvier, a loving and caring mother and grandmother to Marge Simpson, Patty and Selma Bouvier Jones, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson and Ling Bouvier and mother in law to Boris Jones."

Patty goes right up to the podium.

Patty: "What I remember most about our mother, is that 1 time during the Christmas Holidays, she was the 1 listening to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and was relaxing her fingers in the armchair."

Selma goes right up to the podium.

Selma: "On that 1 Thanksgiving holiday, Mom couldn't say much 'cause she had laryngitis so we had to say everything for her in the 1st place, she said to our sister, Marge and I quote:  *I have laryngitis and it hurts to talk, you never do anything right,* you just can't make that up."

[Crowd Gasping In Surprise And Amazement]

Timothy: "And now, Jackie's closed casket will now be taken to Springfield Cemetery where she'll be taken up to the skies of heaven to be reunited with her sister, Gladys Gurney."

The Springfield residents take Jackie's closed casket right over to Springfield Cemetery where she's buried right next to Gladys's grave.

Lisa: "At least Grandma Jackie's with Great Aunt Gladys and Grampa Simpson in the skies of heaven right now,"

Bart: "and at least we still have her memorable treasures."
