Well, children, it's the last day of school. All Yea! Here are your grades. Oh, no, Mrs. Krabappel. If I don't get a "C" average, my dad won't let me go to Kamp Krusty. Well, it isn't fair to the other children, but all right. Much obliged, doll! Laughing Oh, Bart Simpson, I'm gonna miss you. Attention, everyone. This is Principal Skinner. I trust you all remembered to bring in your implements of destruction. Skinner: Now, let's trash this dump. Rock Somebody put a torch to these permanent records. Quickly, now. Vocalizing Continues Wake up, boy. Groans, Gasps I dreamt it was the last day of school. Well, it is. Oh, how do I know this isn't Some beautiful dream too? Ow! You know, a pinch is more traditional. Loud Gobbling, Belching Homer, you do remember your promise to the children? Sure do! When you're I 8, you're out the door! No, Dad, you promised if Bart and I got "C" averages, we could go to Kamp Krusty. And with no false modesty, you're lookin' at one happy camper. Nervous Chuckling Yeah. Remember, when you see my report card, they got this new grading system this year. It now goes, "D," "B," "A," "C." Listen, boy, we have an understanding, and you'd better keep your end of it. I don't think I'd be any kind of a father If you got D's, and I let you go to Kamp Krusty. But, Dad! if you want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. Man Seventeen, 32-- D'oh! five-- D'oh! eight-- Whoo-hoo! 47. D'oh! Skinner On P.A. Attention, students. Please clear out your lockers into the waste baskets provided. Thirty-six, 24, 36. Ha, ha, ha. Cracks Knuckles Now, let's see what we got here. Ah, my gym shorts. Here are your final report cards.

Grunting The dirt's not coming off!. Panting Okay. Calm down. This must just be a little typo. Nervous Giggle Oh, Miss Hoover! There appears to be a mistake on my report card. You gave me a B-plus in conduct? Now, Lisa, everyone needs a blotch on their permanent record. Perhaps I'm not making myself clear. Hysterical Giggle I think you should reconsider. Lisa, you're hurting me! Mrs. Krabappel, in figuring out my final grades... I hope you'll note that all Of my textbooks are being returned... in excellent condition-- in some cases, still in their original wrappings. Duly noted. I'd also like to add, as I gaze upon your beauty... I've never seen an angel fly so low. Forget it, short pants. Mrs. Krabappel, if I don't get at least a "C" average... I can't go to Kamp Krusty! Have a "D"-lightful summer! Laughing Five! Four! Three! Two! Don't open your mouth. One! Bell Ringing Cheering Wait a minute! You didn't learn how World w*r I ended. We won! Yea! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!

Three whole months Of Spaghetti Os and daytime TV! So, Bart, will you be joining me in the bucolic splendor of Kamp Krusty? You bet. Check out this hand. All aces. Laughing A-plus!

Honest lnjun! Chortling Well, here goes nothin'. Clattering D'oh! Stupid roller skate. Well, Dad, here's my report card. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. A-plus? You don't think much of me, do you, boy? No, sir. You know, a "D" turns into a "B" so easily. You just got greedy. So I won't get to go to camp? Now, Bart, we made this deal because I thought it would help you get good grades. And you didn't. But why should you pay for my mistake? You mean I can go? Yeah. I didn't want you hanging around all summer anyway. Oh, Dad, you're the best father a boy could ever have! Thanks, son. Now, you've got little hands. Can you reach under that mower and pull out that skate? Engine Starts Phew. Never mind. Humming Bart, where's your bathing suit? I'm gonna swim "nekkid." You're what? Ah, sure, there'll be a couple Of up-tight counselors... who won't dig the Bart philosophy... but I feel the human body is a thing of beauty. Marge, am I crazy or is my back getting hairier? Before I go to camp, I'll need boosters for malaria... German measles, encephalitis, Hansen's disease-- Oh, now, I'm afraid what we have here is an advanced case of hypochondria. There's only one known cure-- a "wowwipop." Chuckling Don't patronize me, Doctor. It's our last family dinner for six weeks... but I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Loud Gulping, Snorting Sobbing Oh, I'm going to miss this! Sniffles Hey, hands off my pickle! I don't see your name on it, boy. No, but-- Oh, yeah? Check... mate! Always thinking two moves ahead.

Lisa: Our arts and crafts center is, in actuality, a Dickensian workhouse. Come on, wimps! These Gucci wallets have to be on the streets of Hong Kong by Friday. Lisa: Bart makes it through the days relying on his unwavering belief... that Krusty the Clown will come through. Krusty is coming. Krusty is coming. Krusty's coming. But I am far more pessimistic. I am not sure lf this letter will reach you as our lines of communication have been cut. Giddyap! Now the effort of writing Has made me lightheaded... so I close by saying, "Save us! Save us now!'"

I am so Krunchy the Clown! Belches All right. That's it. I've been scorched by Krusty before. I got a rapid heartbeat from those Krusty Brand vitamins. My Krusty calculator didn't have a seven or an eight! And Krusty's autobiography was self-serving with many glaring omissions. But this time, he's gone too far! We want Krusty! We want Krusty! We want Krusty! Yeah, we want Krunchy! We want Krunchy! I thought you said you broke their spirits. We did. You broke nothing. Bart Let's get 'em! To the hydrofoil!

We have a place for babies like you-- the box! All right, let "ham-ateur" night in Dixie commence. I'm sorry, Llewellyn, I just-- I just don't see why Blanche should shove a broken bottle in Stanley's face. Couldn't she just take his abuse with gentle good humor? Marge, your ride's here.

Let's rehearse the bottle scene. Oh! Let's not and say we did. Hmm? Muttering Lines So, what time does this play start? Why? Are you going? Well, I gotta go, don't I? I'm sure you won't enjoy it. There's nothing about bowling in the play. Oh, wait, there is. Probably not much of it. Why can't you be a little more supportive? 'Cause I don't care, okay? I can't fake an interest in this... and I'm an expert at faking an interest in your kooky projects. What "kooky projects"? You know, the painting class... the first aid course, the whole Lamaze thing. Why didn't you tell me you felt this way? You know I would never do anything to hurt your feelings. Good night.

We have seen nothing but razzle-dazzle here today... three visits from Morganna the Kissing Bandit... and the astonishing return of Jim Brown. Whoo-hoo! Is that what I think it is? Mm-hmm. I found... a penny! Could this be the best day of my life? Laughing Looks like we have a new champion. Ah, my beloved family. How was church? Muttering Snorting I, on the other hand, have been having the best day of my life... and I owe it all to skipping church. That's a terrible thing to say! Kids, your father doesn't really mean that. Like fun I don't. Marge, I'm never going to church again! Homer, are you actually giving up your faith? No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, yes. I can't believe you're giving up church, Homer. Hey, what's the big deal about going to some building every Sunday? I mean, isn't God everywhere? Amen, brother. And don't you think that the Almighty has better things to worry about... than where one little guy spends one measly hour of his week? Tell it, Daddy. And what if we pick the wrong religion? Every week we're just making God madder and madder. Testify! Groaning Lord, my husband is by no means perfect... but he's a kind, decent man. Please show him the error of his ways. Marge, come to bed. No, Homer. He doesn't mean to be sacrilegious, Lord. He just likes to sleep in on Sundays. Marge. Come to bed, Marge. Whispering Lord, please. He's not a bad person, Lord, really.

Does St. Louis still have a team? No, they moved to Phoenix. Oh, yeah. You know what I really hate about church? Those boring sermons. Oh, I couldn't agree more. That Reverend Lovejoy really displeases me. I think I'll give him a canker sore. Give him one for me. I will. So I figure I should just try to live right-- Purring and worship you in my own way. Homer, it's a deal. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to appear on a tortilla in Mexico. Dad, can I ask you a question? Sure, honey. Why are you dedicating your life to blasphemy? Don't worry, sweetheart. If I'm wrong, I'll recant on my deathbed. Hello, my animal friends. Peace be with you. Guys, please, could you give me five minutes? Reverend Lovejoy, I had a bit Of an ulterior motive in inviting you to dinner. Shouts What? No, it's nothing bad. I'm just concerned because my husband hasn't been attending your services lately. Well, I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing... but then God himself told me I should seek a new path. Oh, really? Yeah. He appeared before me in a dream... and I knew that was special because I usually dream about naked... Marge. Groans So, Homer, you saw the big cheese? What'd he look like? Perfect teeth, nice smell, a class act all the way. Homer, you're crazy! Tell him this is all crazy. Homer, I'd like you to remember Matthew 7:26. The foolish man who built his house on sand. And you remember... Matthew 21 :1 7. "And he left them and went out of the city into Bethany and he lodged there"? Yeah. Think about it. Hello, work? This is Homer Simpson.

He had long hair and some wild ideas... and he didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was-- I forget. But the point is-- I forget that too. Marge, you know who I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car. Kids, could you wait outside for us? Homer, please don't make me choose between my man and my god... because you just can't win.

He sold his ride on the Duff blimp. But that ride meant everything to him! Singing Sadly I'll do it. Did you see Tina Epstein? Whoa! If you're gonna binge, you'd better purge. Uh-oh. Amber Dempsey. In the same week... she was Pork Princess and Little Miss Kosher. She's beautiful. Wait. She's about to bring out the big g*ns. Eyelash implants. I thought those were illegal. Not in Paraguay. There's no way I can beat this girl. She's the Jack Nicklaus Of the pageant circuit. Oh, I don't know that she's as attractive as Jack Nicklaus. Humming I meant because they both win all the time, Mom. Oh. Well, yes. That's what I meant too. Well, tell you what. This afternoon...

Anyway... to turn on the store's "severe tire damage" spikes, here's Little Miss Springfield. Fanfare Oh, dear. It would be a shame If that pretty dress got wet. I'd say the greater danger is her scepter acting as a lightning rod. Unless it's made out of plastic. Thunderclap Nope. Metal. Ladies and gentlemen, Little Miss Springfield has been struck by lightning. Man: Doctor, what is Amber's condition? Oh, she'll be fine. In fact... she's already won the Little Miss lntensive Care Pageant. Congratulations, Lisa. You're the new Little Miss Springfield. Here's your scepter. Oop! Laughing just kidding. Here you go. Oop! Laughing just kidding. Yelling I deserved that. That doesn't look like her body. The torso used to be Dr. Ruth. Her head is on a pike in the Chamber of Horrors. Wolf Howling Wolf Whistles Hi, fellas. Love that "chewing gum" walk. Very Wrigley. As Little Miss Springfield, it's my pleasure to welcome you to America... the land of opportunity. Actually, they're being deported.

I'm gonna be riding on a pack of cigarettes? Mm-hmm. We think you're the perfect spokesmodel for Laramies. It's part of our new campaign. Mmm, classy. Gasps You see, Lisa, it's been an unlucky year for Laramie. A lot of the people who smoke our product have been... well, dying. And we need young smokers to take their place. I don't wanna be a spokesperson for a cigarette company! But you're a role model To young people. And we're thinking of retiring Menthol Moose. Coughs, Spits Bless you, boys. Homer, those are ice cream men. I know. Gasps Stop this float! Tires Screech What's the holdup? Go! I'm tired of being a corporate shill. Grunts From now on, I will speak out... against the evils in society... from dog-napping to cigarettes. Lisa: Before I sing the national anthem...

Grunting Continues Gentlemen, we need to get Lisa Simpson out... and Amber Dempsey back in. But this glorified, crossing-guard-of-a-police Chief won't get off his big fat can. Is it okay if I open these potato chips? Groans Gentlemen, our prayers have been answered. Take a look at our Little Miss Springfield's pageant application. Roxy, bring in a bottle of champagne. Yeah, and some dip for these chips or somethin'. Lisa Simpson is no longer Little Miss Springfield. She was stripped of her crown in a ceremony earlier today. Well, that's obviously the wrong footage. Uh, but it does seem the father of the deposed beauty queen, Homer Simpson... filled out the pageant application incorrectly. In the area under "Do not write in this space," he wrote, "Okay." If it wasn't for me, you'd still be queen. You must hate me. Dad, do you remember why you entered me in that pageant? I don't know. Was I drunk? Possibly. But the point is, you wanted me to feel better about myself, and I do. Really? Uh-huh. Will you remember this the next time I wreck your life? It's a deal. And now, my exclusive interview with His Holiness, Pope John Paul I. That's it. I cannot work under these conditions. If anybody wants me, I'll be downstairs at McDougal's. Call the weekend guy. I don't care.
