Alright, I'll leave you in Bob in this locked room to get re-equated. Simpsons, there's no need for alarm. That's not for you to suck! Now, where was I? Right, no need to worry, I'm still technically sure Shanking Yet has Springfield Penitentiary. This is getting boring, either murderous or tell us how you got here. Very well. The Inanity of the Vanity License Plate PUNS Be Inanity of the Vanity License Plate PUNS. Vanity. Vanity. Let go of Vanity. Let go of Vanity. Was slowly driving me mad. So, when Montsono Labs asked for experimental subjects, I, gladly volunteered. My job was to make sure the experiments wouldn't be too painful for the test monkeys.

I don't know what we're doing here. Uh, we'll pick it up after lunch. I wrote up my results and went from subject to scientist. Look at me, I'm such a Bob! Such a Bob! Foolish boy, that's possible, I guess it. I'm here sip would have dissolved the whole in your stomach the size of a silver dollar. I make this dissolved. I make this dissolved. Don'ts gone, I, you know, watched it dissolve in hydroforka. Don'ts gone, I, you know, watched it dissolve in hydroforka. Yeah, get a yeah, get a yeah.

The spotted hawk accuses me. He complains of my gap. I too am not a bit tamed. I hoped it would be tamed. Tamed? I hope it would be tamed. Tamed? I hope it would be tamed. Tamed? I'd hoped it would be tamed. Tamed? Tamed sees! Tamed sees! I too am untranslatable, what with men leaves of grass. Very good, Lisa, you always were the one rose petal floating atop the cesspool that is the Simpsons.

Well, if you're done, our chief scientist has to get back to work. Our corn and the cob has become self-aware. Wait, wait, won't you visit me again? Let me show you, I really am trying to make a better world, Lisa. We can talk Walt Whitman. And Homer, I think you'd enjoy the company of the campus's lazy overfed squirrels. Overfed, I don't know this word. This is me, Lisa. We can discuss politely if I'd art. And if we must, jazz.

Mom, can I visit Si Cho Bob? Why would you want to do that? He's tried to kill us! You, he tried to kill you. And I refuse to concede a mind that thinks so much like mine can be all bad. Don't you think the bites that aren't evil are a little... ...potentious? Absolutely. We're talking about Lisa, right? Shut up! You shut up! This is the pinnacle of conversation around here! Fine, I'll take you. They have this cool sight class at the campus I sat in on. That was a sexual harassment seminar. That was a sexual harassment seminar. That's harassment. That's harassment. This harassment... This harassment... It doesn't matter I'm taking it past fail.

Blowing off steam in the craft's room, Marge. No, I'm not giving up on reaching those kids, and I might just have a secret weapon. Mm-hmm. Is it finger puppets? Maybe! Well, we haven't had finger puppets in this church since Reverend Brogan was arrested. But I suppose enough time has passed. And that's why Nancy now is the most popular girl in Promised Hill High. Mm. I'd prefer the modern thinking of Yolanda, yes. And I think I'd have a shot with Mabel maybe! I'm so tired of those kids sniggering. Uh-oh! It's one dog, Hank! Well, Nancy knows how to keep him away. They're stuck! Hmph!

Um... Can I take one of those girl puppets home? I won't do nothing to it. Oh! You say modified tomato, I say modified tomato. I say engineer, potato, you say engineer, potato, potato. Potato! Tomato! Tomato! Let's play some DNA. Yeah! Ha! That is my first non-evil laugh in years. Bob? There's one thing I gotta know. Are you plotting revenge? Are you plotting revenge? No. Plotting. No. Plotting. Plot against me. Plot against me. I don't plot revenge anymore. It's like love! If it happens, it happens.

Now! How about those smores? Dad? You already ate all the chocolate bars! That's why I gotta get the marshmallows down fast. I like how they cut them down from 140 characters to a more manageable 20 characters. Oh, another seminonumeral. I just wish I could connect with those teenagers since it seems like we'll never have any. Oh, March! Teen's can't control their urges. It's why there's never been a 10-year-old kid. That's why there's never been a teenage president. Are you saying I'm wasting my time? No, I'm saying you're wasting everyone's time. But it's a church thing, so that's a given.

Oh, well then maybe I need to give those kids a better example. Good night. Shut your eyes, they're too bright. Sorry. Kids, today we have a very special guest. My husband. I brought home her here to show that we can't and have abstained for two whole days. Two days? That's all. That means three days ago, the two of you made the blob with two backs. Listen, you punks. If you can't handle the image of our naked bodies in the tender act of Auga, you should never have come to the basement of this holy place. Ugh, he's touching her. They're practically doing it here. Ugh. Ow. Mm-mm. Foolsign the pledge. Just get your fat, heaving butt-hucks out of my head. Never.

All right, Bob, you've created 5,000 patents, so one hour of freedom. But remember, your every move will be watched by these unarmed docents. That block's gonna need its own ticket. I have a family membership. Well, that's your kid. Kiss it. Oh, yeah. Mm-mm. Pfft. Mm-mm. What next? Proctocumists? The plantinist? Or the alleged art of itchy and scratchy? Oh, I like the impressionists. The boy bands of the art world. But for you, Lisa, I shall face the red wire with Sanfah. Warmer, calder, warmer, warmer, calder, calder, calder. That's using your $300,000 MFA.

Oh. Let's go. Oh. Bob, you saved me. But how did you get the strength? Caughters work in this period was marked by heavy use of sheet metal painted to look deceptively airy. To sheet metal painted to look deceptively airy. Sheets metal! Sheets metal! Metal sheeting. Flywood. Metal sheeting. Flywood. Well put. Thank you. Answer the question.

Well, it is something I should have told you. You see, it occurred to me that if I can genetically modify fruits and vegetables, why can't I modify? Me? You've been changing your DNA? Well, at first just a peptide here and there. Carrot for my Presbyopia. Braumable for strength. And a touch of corn for highlights on my hair. So, how strong are you? Figurines. Get your porcelain figurines. Now, how about those impressionists?
