Homer: Aw, cereal? You know I like my breakfast fried, or
chicken-fried.
Marge: It's that healthy cereal from Europe. Meuslix.
[spoons some from the bowl; it's viscous beige glop]
[the children shudder simultaneously]
They also make juicelix.
[Maggie takes a drink from her cup. The same gooey cereal
forms a messy strand between her face and the bottle]
[the doorbell rings]
Bart: It's Milhouse.
[the doorbell rings several more times]
And it sounds like he has big news! [runs out of the
room]
Homer: [spooning his cereal] Yugh.
Lisa: Yuch. [aside to Homer] I'll get us out of this.
[louder] Say Dad, wanna go see my project for the school
science fair.
Homer: [winks] No, Lisa. But I sure don't want to eat this
crappy breakfast. [Lisa and Homer run out of the room,
leaving Maggie trapped in juicelix like a tar baby]
Ralph: Fun toys are fun!
Teacher: Well-said, Ralph, but we're trying to come up with a name for a toy.
Janey: Mrs. Fun?
Teacher: Not bad.
Ralph: Fun?
Teacher: Ralph, there are no right or wrong answers, but if you don't pipe
down, I'm giving you an F.
Ralph: The before-teacher yelled at me, too.
Teacher: No one's yelling; we're just brainstorming names. Lisa, any ideas?
Lisa: [puts down book] Oh, a name with fun? Fungus, Funzo, Attila the Fun.
Teacher: [accusing] Lisa, are you doing math?!
Lisa: [nervous] Uh, just a few Venn diagrams.
Ralph: There's more under her chair!
