You're crazy, Bart.
|
You're never gonna make it.
|
Spare me your lectures, ladies.
|
Oh, no! He's hurt!
|
Let's get outta here!
|
Oh, my little boy, .
|
Come on Marge, we're mad at 'im.
|
Are you all right?
|
Better than all right, I got stitches.
|
Probably a scar, too.
|
Mrs. Simpson, Bart tells me he injured himself training for a career in death defiance?
|
Hey, Otto! Can I use that microphone?
|
Bart, in this ward are the children who have been hurt by imitating stunts they saw on television, movies and the legitimate stage.
|
This little boy broke his leg trying to fly like Superman.
|
This boy's brother hit him in the head with a wrench, mimicking a recent TV wrestling match.
|
I won't even subject you to the horrors of our Three Stooges ward.
|
Gee, I never realized TV was such a dangerous influence.
|
Well, as tragic as all this is, it's a small price to pay for countless hours of top-notch entertainment.
|
Amen! Well, Bart, has Dr. Hibbert made his point?
|
He certainly has, Dad. I learned a real lesson here today. Thank you. Dr. Hibbert.
|
I did it!
|
Oh man, you're the king.
|
Thank you. How 'bout a hand for these brave little animals?
|
Oh, hi, kids. Thanks.
|
Okay, field trippers. Off the bus.
|
What's the matter, Bart?
|
I'm runnin' on empty, Milhouse. You kids get a kick out of my jumps, and I love you for it, but it's all too easy.
|
There's got to be a challenge out there worthy of me.
|
Hello, children, and welcome to Springfield Gorge.
|
Man, this thing's pretty gnarly. I bet you could throw a dead body in there, and no one'd ever find it.
|
Otto, I'm gonna leap over Springfield Gorge on my skateboard.
|
You know, Bart, as the only adult here, I feel I should say something.
|
But I want to tell them about my jump.
|
Oh, okay.
|
May I have you attention, please. This Saturday I will be jumping over Springfield Gorge on my skateboard. There is a good possibility I will plunge to my bloody death. Hope to see you there, thank you.
|
Springfield Gorge? Bart, you'll be killed!
|
Lisa, I don't know how to explain this, but I get the same thrill out of jumping over stuff that you do from... reading.
|
Please, before you do anything, there's someone I'd like you to talk to.
|
Thank you for arranging this, Dr. Hibbert.
|
Oh anything I can do to stem the tide of entertainment-related injury. Now, children you're about to meet the world's greatest daredevil, Lance Murdock.
|
Lance, this is Lisa and Bart Simpson. Bart is one of your biggest fans.
|
It's an honor, Lance. How you feeling?
|
Ow! Doc, I heard a snap.
|
Hmm. I'm afraid the bone's broken. Well, that's all of them.
|
Don't worry, partner. I've broken that thumb dozens of times. Hey, I bet you'd like an autograph. Nurse.
|
Who should I make this out to?
|
Just Bart will be fine, sir.
|
To Bart: Thanks for visiting me at Springfield General Hospital. Your visit was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day. Your pal, Captain Lance Murdock.
|
Wow, man! Thanks, Lance.
|
You're welcome. Take this thing out of my mouth now.
|
Mr. Murdock, my brother is thinking about jumping Springfield Gorge on a skateboard.
|
Could you leave me with the young'uns, please?
|
What's the matter?
|
You didn't mean that. Bart, this isn't one of those phoney-baloney promises I don't expect you to keep. If you make this promise, you have to keep it.
|
Now let me start by saying... good for you, son. It's always good to see young people taking an interest in danger. Now, a lot of people are gonna be telling you you're crazy, and maybe they're right. But the fact of the matter is: bones heal, chicks dig scars, and the United States of America has the best doctor to daredevil ratio in the world.
|
But Captain Murdock!
|
Thanks, Lance.
|
You're welcome, little pardner. On your way out, tell the nurse I'm ready for my sponge bath. Another fringe benefit. Nurse.
|
Springfield Gorge? I thought we settled this daredevil junk.
|
Squealer.
|
I'm sorry, Bart. But if you got hurt or died, despite the extra attention I'd receive, I'd miss you.
|
Bart, I forbid you to jump over that gorge.
|
You can't.
|
I can and do. Go to your room, Bart! There, I've done it. I'm glad somebody finally stepped in and put an end to this nonsense once and for all.
|
Hey, man, you can tell me not to do it, but there's no way you can watch me twenty-four hours a day. And the minute your back is turned, I'm grabbing my skateboard and headin' for that gorge.
|
He's got us, Marge. There's nothing we can do. He's as good as dead.
|
Homer, you're his father. You've got to try and reason with him.
|
Oh, that never works. He's a goner.
|
Oh, come on, Homer. A heart to heart talk with your son, you've got to try.
|
Okay, okay. I'll try.
|
Bart? Bart?
|
Bart! What are you doing?
|
Ah, nothing.
|
You were on your way to jump the gorge, weren't you?
|
Look, I know I can't stop you. The only thing I can do is ask you to promise me you won't jump the gorge.
|
Okay, I promise.
|
'Cause if you don't, I'll never believe anything you say, ever again.
|
Aw, come on.
|
I mean it, boy.
|
Well, okay, Dad. I promise. I will not jump Springfield Gorge.
|
That's my boy.
|
How'd it go, Homer?
|
You know, Marge, we got a pretty good kid there.
|
Well, he's got a pretty good father.
|
Where is he? I thought he said noon.
|
Aw, he's just doing this to build the suspense.
|
Whoa, what a showman.
|
Look, there he is!
|
Hey, boy. Wanna toss the old --
|
Why that little liar! I should... and I was gonna play pickle with him.
|
Hey, what gives?
|
Boy, I've tried ordering you, I've tried punishing you, and God help me, I even tried reasoning with you, and the only thing left for me to do is for me to jump the gorge myself.
|
What? Why?
|
Because that way you'll see what it's like to witness a family member stupidly risking his life for no good reason.
|
But, Dad, you'll never make it.
|
Don't you think I know that?
|
Goodbye, son.
|
Wait, dad. Don't do it. I won't jump anymore, I promise.
|
Ohhh, thank God. Thank God. Thank God.
|
I love you, Dad.
