I can't help but feel that if we had gotten to know each other better, my leaving would actually have meant something.
|
Well, we have one quick stop and then it's on to Capital City.
|
I can't believe it. Our baby sister in the big city.
|
I'll call you every day.
|
I'll call you, too.
|
Look, he can use a horn.
|
Oh, shut up.
|
... Some may say that I have been given a bad break in life -- little education, bald as a cue ball, ten years on the same job for the same salary -- but today, as I leave for Capital City, I consider myself the luckiest mascot on the face of the Earth!
|
With the fickle fans already forgetting me, I was ready to take the biggest step of my life.
|
Well kids, there it is, Capital City.
|
Look! The Crosstown Bridge!

|
FROM CAPITAL CITY, MY HOME SWEET HOME / CAPITAL CITY... THAT HAPPYTOWN CITY / IT'S CAPITAL CITY, MY HOME, SWEET, SWINGIN' HOME"
|
Capital City -- yeah!
|
Awww. Come to bed, Homie.
|
Sorry, honey. I'm just a little nervous.
|
We would talk about it always. For the first time in our lives, Marge fell asleep before I did.
|
Okay, here are your tickets. They're supposed to be good. You're sitting with the player's wives. And don't forget to cheer for me.
|
See you after the game, when you're a big star.
|
Bart was strangely quiet. Later he explained he was confused by feelings of respect for me. That wouldn't last.
|
Omigod! I don't believe it. It's really you, the Capital City "Goofball."
|
Hello, Dancin' Homer. Glad to have you aboard. If there's anything I can do for you just squeeze the wheeze.
|
The fifth inning will be yours. Everyone is settled in, they've had a coupla beers; the game is official. It's a pretty important inning.
|
Wow, the fifth.
|
It's also the inning I wish I had a zipper on the front of this thing, if you know what I mean.
|
Right, Mr. Goofball.
|
Hey, call me plain ol' "Goof". So what exactly do you have planned for us?
|
Well, I get up, I dance, I spell out the name of the city... all to the tune of Baby Elephant Walk.
|
Aah, Mancini. The mascot's best friend. Well, see you on that field. I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down.
|
Well, hello, everybody. Dave Glass talkin' at ya. We've got great weather here tonight under the Dome.
|
Let's see. Upper, upper, upper mezzanine. Hmmm. Yes, these must be ours.
|
These seats stink!
|
You'd think the player's wives would be a little closer to the action.
|
Actually, this section is for the player's ex-wives.
|
And then I found out that all the while there was this bimbo in Kansas City.
|
Throw at his head!
|
Who'd've thought it? A free ticket to a big league park but I was too tense to enjoy the game. Every ounce of concentration I possessed was focused on the task at hand.
|
Red hots! Get your read hots here!
|
Oooh, red hots.
|
Ladies and gentlemen. Capital City's newest sensation, Dancin' Homer!
|
Mmm, these do taste better at the ballpark. Uh oh.
|
There he is!
|
I was graceful. I was witty. Brother, I was somethin'.
|
But they didn't care.
|
What's with these people? Why are they sitting on their hands?
|
Mom, what's he doing wrong?
|
I don't know.
|
It was so quiet you could hear each individual smart-ass remark.
|
This guy doesn't make me want to cheer.
|
Gee, I really pity him. Making a fool of himself in front of so many people.
|
These cornball antics may play in the sticks, but this is Capital City!
|
The only applause I got was for dragging my carcass out of there.
|
Hey, Mr. Showmanship! The owner wants to see you in his office right now.
|
I'm sorry, young man; you're just not ready. Pick up your check at the front office... and for God's sake, put some clothes on!
|
Well, I guess it's back to good old Springfield.
|
Would you like some fruit juice?
|
But I can't go back! Not after I've seen the bright lights of Capital City. I'll wither and die like a hothouse flower.
|
Now stop it you two. And don't look too down. I'm sure this is hard enough for your father.
|
What a family.
|
My wife and kids stood by me. On the way home I realized how little that helped.
|
So that's it. The costume's buried now. As my son would say, I'm one sad ape-like dude.
|
What a saga.
|
Hey, you guys are hanging on my every word. I've become the center of attention.
|
Yeah, it's riveting.
|
Tell it again, Homer.
|
Okay. I wonder why stories of degradation and humiliation make you more popular.
|
I don't know. They just do.
|
Bust my hump all week... stupid grass... supposed to be the boy's job.
|
Now, now, Homer. Bart's busy working on his science project.
|
You heard the lady, Homer. So please mow quietly. Genius at work.
|

5433,19,6,"Ned Flanders: (PLEASANTLY) Hey there
|
H'lo, Flanders.
|
Doing a little yard work, huh?
|
Who told? Marge! Beer me!
|
Say Simpson, I-I've got some time-release granules that'll get rid of that crabgrass in just a half-a-jif.
|
Crabgrass? What are you talking about? Where?
|
Well, ooh, there... there... and uh there's a big patch over there.
|
There's nothing wrong with crabgrass! It just has a bad name, that's all. Everyone would love it if it had a cute name like... uh... elfgrass.
|
Well, you may be right!
|
Marge! Where's the Duff?
|
Don't toy with me, woman.
