Oh, why do we have to meet
the new neighbors now?

It's the NFL preseason.

The starters will be playing
for the whole first quarter.

We have to meet the new neighbors

before they hear about us
from the old neighbors.

Hey, I have friends
in this neighborhood.

There's the guy whose
lawn I used as a shortcut,

the guy whose mailbox
crashed into our car,

and Mrs. Bad Halloween Candy.

If my candy is so bad,

why you take so much of it?

Look, the people
who know us are a lost cause,

but these new people don't know us,

so it is really important to me
to make a good impression.

Oh, don't worry, Mom, my butt is clean

and ready to be seen.

[GASPS]

Anne Blackburn. Charmed.

[GROANS]

You're not upset?

No. I'm Thayer.

So happy to leave the city

and be around real people.

- [GOOFY LAUGH]
- Yarr.

Uh, yes!

I'm Marge, and this is Homer.

It's been so long since I made a basket

for people moving in.

- _
- Hmm.

Love this town. Can't believe it has

three Lard Lad locations.

Uh, one of those is police only,
so back off, pal.

So, what do you do?

Something that makes me

look like a nothing, I bet.

Ha. I own a sports car dealership

in north Springfield.
Hey, drop by anytime.

I just had a fantasy about this car.

And d*ck Van d*ke.

Well, my friend, perhaps I could

set you up with something.

Those cars are expensive,
and we're still paying off

my new spatula.

Look, most people don't buy.
I don't care.

Just pop in for a look, stretch out,

chug a smartwater in
the front seat on us.

Can I get a test drive

in front of everyone I
went to high school with?

Of course.

Whoa-ho, that's quite a grip.

See, Marge?
Strangling the boy has paid off.

Just kidding. I don't do that anymore.

Times have changed.

Hey, do you play pickleball?

Is that the game like tennis
but you don't have to run?

Well, you do have to move a little.

- Then no.
- Aw, that's too bad,

'cause where I play, there's this great

- ice cream place across the st...
- I'm in!

Saturday at : . I will drive.

[CLANGING]

And while the boys
are hanging out, Marge,

how about a massage?

Sure, but I have to warn you,

my fingers aren't that strong.

No, no, we get massages

while we chat through the face holes,
my treat.

Listen, pal, if you're moving
into this neighborhood,

there is one thing I've
got to warn you about.

Howdily-doodily. I brought bibles

for the new arrivals.

[CHUCKLES] Who's that stupid guy?

Exactly.

If you're being bullied,

just know it will get better.

It will get better.

And when you're older, get rich

and wedgie their egos.

me into not bullying.

to give you a high five.

Professor, you've taught me
a very important lesson.

Adults can be nerds, too.

- Nerd!
- I'm telling.

Ah. Too late.

Good one, Nelson.

- Don't tell me what's good.
- [GROANS]

Don't worry, Milhouse,
that assembly taught me

just what to do.

Nelson, I understand
that you're struggling, too.

That's right, I am struggling...

with your lack of fountain rides.

It was Nelson.
He's really out of control.

[SKINNER] [OVER P.A.] Attention,

Ow! My stamp-collecting arm.

[NELSON] Haw-haw.

I think I might know a way to help you.

How are you gonna help me with a bully?

Yeah, Lisa.

You can't even squish a bug.

[CRYING] That poor bug.

It was a raisin.

[MILHOUSE] That poor raisin.

It never should have left Fresno.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[PANTING] You probably couldn't tell,

but I've never played before.

- I, um...
- Hold on.

All right, I started to suspect

when you tried to eat
the pickleball, Homer.

Nothing should be named
food that isn't food.

[CHUCKLES] Well, I love hanging out

with someone so straightforward.

Confidentially, in my business,

I meet a lot of frauds and phonies.

I hate phonies.

At least I pretend to
because I think it's cool.

So why are you interested in me?

Is it to sell me a car I can't afford?

No, I'm not like that, Homer.

These cars, they sell themselves.

I just want to be your friend.

Well, uh...

Eh... um...

I believe you.

Could I drive it?

[CHUCKLES] Homer?

Yes?

Are you ready for the ride of your life?

I was born ready.

Then I lost interest for a long time.

But I'm ready now.

D'oh!

[GROANS]

[GRUNTING]

Now, no worries.

Each Lambuggini comes with
a tub of Fatso grease.

Just got to apply it.

Ah.

Wow. Wow!

Well, don't look now, Homer,

but you just became a lambo man.

Come on, a loser like me? Never.

Hey, now, would I give a loser

a bottle of genuine Lambuggini wine?

I would not.

Wine from a car? Whoa.

Don't you be getting
no fancy ideas, Homer.

You want to suckle booze,
you come to Mama Moe.

Uh, the car can sense that

you're having an unpleasant thought.

Oh, no, not fresh air!

[MOE SCREAMS]

Why are you being so nice to me?

Well, I like you, Homer.
You live next door,

and we love our house.

Just needs a few tweaks.

Tweaks, tweaks, tweaks, tweaks, tweaks.

And, uh, I really want us to be friends.

Well, I want to believe you.

All right, I understand.
You're not sure.

But there is another guy who
does want to be my buddy.

[GASPS] Another offer? Is it serious?

Oh, yeah.
He's been circling for a while.

I said I'd get back to him by : .

Okay, okay, friends it is.
I'll sign anything.

You just became my lambro.

[LAUGHS] I don't get it.

Well, Marge, you can have
your Lennys and your Carls,

little men with puny cars to match.

He was trying to trick you

What? No. What? No. What?!

Oh, don't make fun of me, Lis.

Oh, man, I miss kindergarten,

Give me your lunch money.

Why do you need lunch money?

You guys go home for lunch.

We can do this the easy way,

That's it. We're kindergarteners.

We can use the regular entrance.

I don't think Mr. Nelson Muntz
will be bothering you anymore.

Nelson, you been eating

Aw, I used to have a pen,

but my wife got it in the divorce.

Hey, no pen, no sale.

Aw, no, no, no!

Dang it. I would have been able

to pay the rent on my shoes.

Just tell me how long your renovation

is really gonna take.

Quite simply,
it depends on how long it takes

the bathroom tile to
arrive from Singapore.

What the...? I thought we were friends.

We drove fast together.

You know what, you're right, Homer.

We'll reduce the noise,
we'll start later,

and while we're working on the house,

why don't you use one of our lambos?

Long as you want.

Oh... my... fob.

[CHUCKLES] So, uh, are we good?

We are, but my wife might
take a little convincing.

Just take her and the family for a ride.

room for the kids.

Wait, you guys are friends now?

there is to learn about Lisa.

It made me realize if someone
doesn't help her family,

and soon, she's gonna go off the rails

in a very bad way.

And I've learned that Hubert
is desperate for approval,

so I can control him
with pumpkin stickers.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Yes. I matter.

Anyway, when I was doxing your daughter,

I learned a very interesting thing

about this street.

Your home sits on the site

where Jebediah Springfield
founded this town.

Eh, we better stop here
'cause the horses are dead.

Spring, field?

We'll call it Fieldspring.

So this street is a historical landmark.

All their renovations are not permitted.

Parenthetically, Homer,

you can never fix your house again.

Win-win!

Attention. I am here to return a car.

Homer, buddy, I thought we were friends.

I've learned that my only true friends

are those tragic souls at Moe's.

Now go fob yourself!

Well, I guess I made a mistake, Homer.

I thought you were a lambo man.

News flash. I was wrong.

You know, I've learned something.

There's no such thing as a "lambo man,"

just rich jerks with stupid cars.

Oh, my God, he's right.

This doesn't make my
junk look any bigger.

You know what? Forget it.

I'm gonna date somebody my own age.

you don't need a fancy car.
