Kill the Alligator and Run

[ All ] Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow! Hmm!

Here's the mail, Dad. That'll be three dollars for on-couch delivery.

And three makes three.

This isn't real money. It's printed by the Montana Militia.

It'll be real soon enough.

Ooh. My first issue of Self-Test Monthly.

Finally I get to find out what makes me tick.

I'm betting it's hunger and rage.

Yeah, but at what ratio?

"Are you a good driver?" Yes.

"Are you a good lover?"

Yes. Oh, I'm doing great!

Dad, those are just the names of the quizzes.

You're supposed to open the magazine.

My way is easier.

Why don't you be the quizmaster and ask other people the questions.

Ooh, quizmaster, yes. That would entertain me briefly.

Okay, Flanders, your love quiz score is... 61.

That makes you a... Frigid Frieda.

I took off 30 points for all that crying you did.

[ Sniffles ] Well, it was a little insensitive giving me a s*x test... seeing that my wife just passed away.

No way! When?

Six months ago.

You were at the funeral. You fell into the grave.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yeah. I saw a gopher. What a day.

-[ Bird Squawks ]

Okay, last question.

"Who is your favorite Backstreet Boy?"

Oh, the little rat-faced one.

No, no, no. Nick. He's so good to his mother.

According to this, you're both idiots.

Hey, thanks. What do we owe you?

Okay. "There's a black widow at your door...

"a rattlesnake at the window and a scorpion on the phone.

"Do you, 'A'- none of the below, 'B'-"

Homie, for God sakes, it's 2:00 a.m.

Fine. I'll take the next quiz.

"How long will you live?

In an average week, how many braised ribs do you eat?"

Marge, do you think that counts honey-braised?

I don't know! I'm trying to sleep!

Okay, "nonsmoker- add eight years." Hmm.

So according to this, I'll live to be- 42?

Oh, that's horrible!

I won't even live to see my children die.

[ Sobbing ]

Now what's wrong?

I've only got three more years to live.

Well, maybe you added it wrong. Let me have it.

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Mmm-mmm-mmm!

See? And these quizzes are never wrong, Marge.

They're put together by the finest scientists in the magazine business.

Oh, honey, don't panic.

If you just made a few lifestyle changes-

No! [ Sobbing ]

Can't sleep.

Gonna die.

Can't sleep. Gonna die.

We're back with legendary producer Robert Evans.

Now before you did The Godfather. there was Love Story. Tell us about that.

Ah, Love Story. The little picture that could.

Was Paramount chomping at the bit to make it? [ Chuckles ]

You better believe they weren't. But once that tearjerker hit John Q. Popcorn... it was boffo boo-hoo box office all the way.

And the critics loved it too. I remember Vincent Canby said-

I'm gonna kill you, Homer. You are so dead.

[ Screams ]

Now Chinatown was a classic.

But you had problems with the sequel, The Two Jakes?

Oh, boy. Disappointed? I had the blues like Chasen's had chili.

I said to myself, "Evans, you forgot Hollywood rule number one-  kill Homer Simpson."

[ Screams, Whimpers ]

Hey, what's all the screaming?

Some of us have grammar school in the morning, you know?

Maybe you should see a doctor, Homie. A head doctor.

I'm not crazy. It's the TV that's crazy! Aren't you, TV?

The crisis? Charlie Bluhdorn's birthday.

The solution? A snappy banner.

Out comes the phone, in flies Bobby Towne... and six drafts later, I had myself a party.

You see? Gibberish. All gibberish.

So tell me, are all you government inspectors so handsome and strapping?

Well, we've got a Soloflex down at H.Q.

Anyway, everything looks great, Mr. Burns.

I can't find a single violation or employee acting strangely.

[ Whimpers ] You got to hide me. Death is after me.

And I don't entirely trust these cowboys.

Is this man an employee?

Of course not.

He's just a harmless maniac... here to remind us of the precious gift of sanity.

Oh, God! What's he doing?

That's it. That's it. A mother can't die. And I'm a mother. See?

[ Nervous Laughing ]

[ Homer Whimpering ]

Sometimes. But the guy I really hate is your father.

I shouldn't have brought that up. I was just venting.

Anyhoo, I think your fear of death is causing your insomnia... which is provoking your erratic behavior.

Well, why isn't my baby gaining weight?

Because it's made of plastic.

I see.

What you need is a good, long rest. I suggest Florida.

Florida? But that's America's wang.

They prefer The Sunshine State.

Mom, Bart's sitting next to me!

Mom, Lisa's growing!

Quiet, you two. You know your father's had a breakdown.

My pockets hurt.

Okay, honey. We're almost to Palm Corners.

There'll be nothing to do but lie on the beach and relax.

It's our town's most famous resident, Captain Jack.

Look at the size of that gator.

Is he a man-eater?

Only convicts and hoboes.

Do you have any hobo chunks we can throw to him?

Afraid not. Now years ago...

Captain Jack helped build Palm Corners by dragging sticks and stones from the swamps.

Legend has it he designed the town flag.

Say hello. Captain Jack.

Oh, he can crawl up through my toilet any day.

Thank you!

It's the pimp of the nation, Kid Rock, tearing it up at spring break, y'all!

Now what we'd like to do next is bring it down for a minute.

Bring on the rappin' granny!

What? She's hilarious.

You know, a lot of my homies didn't make it to the party.

And we're gonna give props to the fallen by pouring a 40 on the curb.

[ Chattering ]

But this ain't no 40-ounce curb.

So we're gonna need 40 gallons, y'all!

And.Joe C.. would your mama want you stretching out that sweatshirt like that?

No, sir. Please don't tell Mama.

They called you a pig, Sheriff.

Well, I don't care what they call me... as long as they play "Fist of Rage."

That's a good song. [ Chuckles ]

Oh, thank goodness! Where were you?

Guess how many boobs I saw today, Marge?

Fifteen! Ohh!

I hope he didn't cause too much trouble, Sheriff.

Ah, boys will be boys.

I reckon he was just blowing off a little steam.

[ Chuckles ] Doesn't he talk funny?

[ Yawning ]

Hey, my insomnia, it's gone.

Check it out, Marge. I'm sane again.

And I owe it all to... spring break! Whoo!

Whoo! I'm an animal! Huh?

Hey, where is everyone?

Spring break is over. It's time to get back to our studies.

The world looks to us, the college students, for leadership.

Fine. Be nerds.

Did you really have to handcuff the children?

No, ma'am, I did not.

You seemed so understanding before.

What happened to "boys will be boys"?

Well you see, during spring break, the beer companies pay me to look the other way.

But for the rest of the year, I'm a real hard-ass.

Okay, sweet pea, you're next.

Good. [ Screaming ]

This family has hit a new low.

We're on the run from the law, totally lost... no car, no money, no clean clothes... and it's all your fault.

I love being married.

A diner?

It's perfect! We can hide out here until the heat's off.

You took the signs out of the window? That's pretty presumptuous.

How do you know I'm going to hire you?

Sorry.

I just want to be a broom boy so bad.

I like your attitude. You're hired. How about you, missy?

Do you want to be a mop girl?

Not really, no.

I like your honesty. You're hired.

And you two haven't said a word. I like that. You're hired.
