Aah!

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

(BARNEY BELCHES)

- (WORK WHISTLE BLOWS)
- Aah!

(SCANNER BEEPS)

(PLAYING BLUES RIFF)

(TIRES SCREECH)

Mm.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

- (HORN AND TOY HORN HONK)
- What? Whatcha...

(TIRES SCREECH)

D'oh!

- (TIRES SCREECH)
- (GRUNTS)

(HUSHED): Who the hell are these people?



Why you... (FRUSTRATED GRUNTING)

Oh, my pâté de campagne!

My "Kick me" sign!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Oh, how could she? Why would she?

So many feelings, all of them anger.

Must drive them away.

Rage belongs on the road.

(SHOUTING GIBBERISH)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Where the hell's my phone?

Got to express my rage to
the person who enraged me:

my wife.

(PEOPLE MURMURING, SHOUTING)

Marge, I am so, so,

so, so angry.

Anger emoji, skull emoji,

eggplant emoji, because I hate eggplant.

Fire, fire, fire. Aah!

A fire-fire-fire hydrant!

Okay, Homer, stay calm.

Your seat belt will save you.

Wha?

Thank God I still got my airbag.

- Safety first.
- Hmm?

- Ah. (SNORING)
- (WHIMPERS)

Well, at least
I got shatter-proof glass.

Oh, it's shattering!

(DISTORTED): D'oh...!

(GASPS)

I'm soaring through
the air like an angel,

or a beautiful loogie.

How very majestic the
world looks from up here.

The sky, the ocean,

Ralph.

Bart's bald mommy is going to die.

That's her problem. (LAUGHS)

FEMALE VOICE: Homer? Yo, big man.

Now's not the time to chill.

What? Who the hell was that?

It's me, Maggie's Happy Little Elf doll.

Oh, yeah.

She calls you Goobie-Woo.

Of course she does. That's my damn name.

Okay. Sheesh, Goobie-Woo.

But how are you talking right now?

That's a little complicated.

You see,
I'm a projection of your psyche,

and you're in the middle of
a very traumatic life event.

Traumatic? What do you mean?
I feel great.

(HUMMING HAPPILY)

Homer. Homer,
what you're currently experiencing

is called post-traumatic elation.

- Is that like Post Raisin Bran?
- (GRUNTS)

Damn it, man,
you are literally in the middle

of a car accident!

What?! Oh, right.

Let me lay this out.

You and me are gonna
use this car ejection

for some self-reflection,
okay, my brother?

And that journey begins with

finding the source of your anger.

Now, gaze into that
little piece of glass.

I need a safe-deposit box.
Want to know why?

Well, that's why I got into
banking in the first place,

for the thrilling stories.

Well, this morning, I was on my break

- at the nuclear power plant...
- Uh-huh.

...so I went and got
myself a bag of chips.

Potato chips.

I feel like I'm at a
story slam right now.

They were so delicious
and salty and chompy,

and before long, they were all gone.

- No.
- Almost.

Oh, there's a twist?

But then I pulled out this,

a chip that looks exactly
like John Travolta.

And that's why I need
a safe-deposit box,

to protect this treasure forever.

Oh, don't study opera staging
in Vienna, they said.

Work in a bank, they said.

Mm-hmm. Mr. Simpson,
it looks like your family

already has a safe-deposit box.

Your wife rented it out
over a decade ago.

- Wow, you've got a wife.
- Wha?

Now, I'm not supposed to show you this,

but lucky for you right
now I'm super high.

"Last will and testament"?

Written by Clarence Bouvier,
your father-in-law.

Marge's dad left a will?

He never told me about that

in the four conversations we ever had.

It says here he set up a trust

to pay Marge Simpson,
ooh, $ , a month.

A thousand dollars? What? No.

No! What?!

No! No? What?

No.

And I can confirm that
your wife has been

receiving that money every
month since her father d*ed.

Marge has been getting
all that money for years,

and she never told me about it.

I-I don't know what to feel.

In these situations,
many of our customers

opt for extreme rage.

Well, I hate to just
follow the crowd, but...

(GROWLING ANGRILY)
(GRUMBLING, MUTTERING)

So that's why I was so mad.

And that's why I'm even angrier now.

For all these years,
Marge has been hiding money from me.

It's a blatant act of, of, uh...

The term is "financial infidelity."

And I can see how you'd be angry.

Oh, thank you.

- But it's the wrong emotion to feel.
- Damn it.

Homer, I'm gonna help you
work through this anger

so you can find peace.

Aw, work? That sounds like work.

How much time do I have?

I'd say about point-three seconds

judging by how fast you're flying
towards that tree.

- Aah!
- Oh, my God, we're airborne.

- Whoa!
- (ALL SCREAM)

I don't know which one
I'm more upset about,

that my wife has been keeping

a secret mountain of cash from me,

or that I'm about to die in a stupid,
violent car wreck.

Don't make me choose, Goobie-Woo.

(HOMER CRYING OUT)

Homer, you're spiraling.

Of course I'm spiraling.

I'm literally flying through the air.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Listen, I know you're feeling
all the feels right now,

but we're getting closer to
the real source of your rage.

What? I'm sorry, I'm eating my feelings.

Bad Homer.
Spit out that food, and those feelings.

(GRUNTS) What was Marge
spending that money on?

And why did she keep it
a secret from everybody?

LISA: Um, not everybody, Dad.

I hate to say it, but we've known about

Mom's secret cash for quite some time.

Yeah, that's why I laugh
myself to sleep every night.

What? And here I've been
worried sick about

your night giggles.

Let me tell you how we found out.

I was blowing off steam one day...

...and I saw that Mom was
getting $ , a month!


LISA: Then I explained to
Bart how decimal points work.


Then we asked Mom about it,
and she admitted


the whole thing.

So then tell me,
why did she keep the money a secret?

I don't think you can handle it.

- I can handle it.
- Okay.

The reason is...

(IMITATING MARGE):
Your father is an ape-faced butt monster


who eats booger
sandwiches and also sucks.


(LAUGHS)

Why, you little unreliable narrator!

Ow! Glass is sharp.

Oh, even my kids knew I was
being fiscally unmanned.

(NORMAL VOICE): Okay,
got to go, ape face.

See you at your funeral.

We'll be the kids running
around in our nice clothes,

poignantly unaware
of the finality of death.

Oh, that tree
can't get here fast enough.

(STRAINING)

Okay, Michael Phelps,

don't swim to your death just yet.

Don't you want to find
out what Marge been

spending the money on?

Oh, you bet I do.

Well, that's what I thought.
Give me your best guess.

I want to give her the
benefit of the doubt,

but I can't help but imagine the worst.

See you later. I'm off to earn
our only source of income.

He's gone. Robo-butler,
bring me a caviar hoagie.

(ROBOTIC VOICE): My word.
This is so expensive.

Mmm. Mmm-mmm.

You know what else I'm paying for?

Sexy handymen doing
chores around the house.

I got this feeling on the
summer day when you were gone


I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care

I love it

I don't care

I love it, I love it...

I don't know which I love more,

being rich or hiding it from my husband.

(ROBOTIC LAUGH)

Let us mock him through dance.

(RAPID MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

- ♪ I love it.
- (GROWLING ANGRILY)

Whew, Homer, I hesitate to ask,

but why does your brain think

that's what Marge is
doing with the money?

Because it's what I'd do.

Except the repairmen would
be my favorite rock stars:

Kiss, Bon Jovi, Men at Work,

because of their excellent work ethic.

- (GRUNTS)
- Stop!

Your wife is a much better
person than you are,

and she's been using the
money in a very different way.

So no robot butler?

You been wasting all your time

Throwing shade at Marge

You think behind your back
that, yeah


She's been living large

Well, I really, really
hate to burst your bubble, boo


All this time, she been spending

- ♪ All that cash on you
- On me? No way.

I'm sure that... Huh?

Homie, Homer, check your elf

You ain't too bright,
I'll explain the sitch


All them problems you
think you solved yourself


That was Marge, bitch

That was Marge, bitch

The time your bar tab
was forgiven by Moe


That was Marge, bitch

That time Dr. Hibbert
reattached your big toe


That was Marge, bitch

The time you got off of that DUI

That was Marge, bitch

I think by now you
know the reason why


Goobie-Woo in da house!

- Oh, my God.
- Whoo!

All this time, I've been thinking
the worst about Marge,

but she was using the money to save me.

Ya think?

And she only kept it a secret
to save your dumbass male pride.

Well, Goobie-Goobie-Woo,
now I can clearly see


I've got the greatest
wife and spouse


That there could ever be

And what's more... ♪ Huh?

Holy crap, I just flew past the tree!

You're gonna live, bitch

You're gonna live, bitch

You're gonna live, bitch

Yeah, I'm gonna live.

- (LAUGHS)
- Whoo!

Thank God, I don't have
to be mad at Marge anymore.

If anything,
you should be mad at Marge's dad.

- Huh?
- Oh, snap, I shouldn't have said that.

"Oh, snap"?
What do you mean, "Oh, snap"?

Oh, snap, why not? What do you know?

Nothing. And closure! (CHUCKLES)

Closure-closure, closure-closure.

Oh, no. I got to know
what Marge's dad did,

or said or rapped.

Aha, and I've got the
magical footage right here.

Don't look at it! You've come so far.

Inner peace has almost
defeated your outer rage.

You've got to be strong, man.

So if I look at that piece of glass,

I could change my fate

and perhaps even risk my very soul?

Well, I'm cool with that.

What the hell?!

But, Dad, Homer has a good heart,

and I'm going to marry him.

Oh, honey, this Simpson fellow
will never provide for you.

He has jackass written all over him.

Marge, do you have any turpentine?

It's not coming off.

Hmm.

His friends did that after
he fell asleep at a party.

Homer's the sweetest
person I've ever met.

Every time I look into his eyes,

I see someone who will
never stop loving me.

Oh... crap.

Look, I'm gonna leave you
something special in my will

to make sure you're okay,
because you've found

every father's worst nightmare:

true love with a true loser.

Loser? But I thought
Marge's dad liked me.

He was always warning me about

doors hitting my butt on the way out.

How dare he emasculate me
from beyond the grave?

Uh-huh. I told you not to look at it.

Wait, how could I remember that talk

between Marge and her dad
if I wasn't around to see it?

You can see stuff like that
'cause you're a ghost now.

You dead.

(GHOSTLIKE): D'oh...!

I tried to tell you,
and you didn't want to hear me.

You was eating your
feelings and carrying on.

Goobie-Woo knows what's good.

I'm gonna see this in every dream now.

Oh, my God, I'm in heaven now.

It's so huge, so majestic.

So red.

Ooh, it's one of heaven's
goaty-footed angels.

And look at that giant fork.

Probably for eating delicious,
heavenly s'mores.

Think again, pally.

- (FLESH SIZZLES)
- Ow!

Wait a second, I'm in hell? But why?

Because you committed
the deadly sin of wrath

against your father-in-law.

So what? Everybody hates
everybody these days.

Plus the rest of the seven deadly sins

all in the last half
second of your life.

Whoo-hoo! I hit for the cycle!

Okay, so this is where you check in

for your eternal punishments.

- Who are they?
- (LIVELY CHATTER)

That's our exchange program
we have with heaven.

We send them people condemned for sins

that aren't sins anymore.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER:
All aboard for those damned


for being gay between
BC and like ten years ago.


- It's about damn time.
- (ALL CHEER)

Make way for Miss Thing!

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Now arriving,
former residents of heaven


who are now considered
bad by today's standards.


Wherefore art I in hell?

I gave the world Othello.

Yeah, and performed it in blackface.

Get outta here.

(FIERCE GROWLING)

I didn't even actually write the plays!

Okay, Mr. Simpson,
looks like your punishment is

to be boiled alive for all eternity

- in a lake of blood.
- All right.

Just wait over there.

Oh, there's a line?

Hey, do you mind if I go ahead of you?

Yeah, in fact, I do mind.

_

Oh, for... Oh... (GROANING)

Fine, take this buzzer.

When we're ready for you,
it'll electrocute you

and set your torso aflame!

I know how buzzers work.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING, CRYING OUT)

Ooh, poker.

Oh, boy, I got-a the best hand.

I'm-a gonna win.

Ha! Nice bluff, Benito.

(LAUGHTER)

Marge's dead dad!

(GRUNTING)

You thought I wasn't worthy of Marge.

I'll k*ll you and send
you to super-hell!

Hey, hey, behave yourself.

We have standards here.

Shut up, Tom Selleck!

What Marge's dad did
to me was super-sucky.

It's probably the
reason he ended up here.

Actually, he ended up here
thanks to an unrelated

check forging scheme.

Checks. Remember them? (CHUCKLES)

Oh, crazy.

Homer, uh, let's you and me take a walk.

Walking? Oh, this really is hell.

- I want to show you something.
- (MAN GROANING)

Wow, another screen?

Yeah, this is hell. Screens everywhere.

Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Mercer.

He designs board games.

Oh, like Parker Brothers?

(LAUGHS) Yeah, like Parker Brothers. No.

You actually play that
mainstream corporate garbage?

You're so lucky to be meeting me today.

Seriously, I am so jealous of you.

Check this out.

My new game is gonna be a huge hit.

It combines the
Stratego-ness of Stratego,

the implicit sexual tension of Twister,

and the hard-driving
whimsy of Tic-Tac-Toe.

It's called Side-gammon.

Who's up for a game? Huh?

Oh, come on!

It's super complicated!

You'll be out before you know it,

and you'll be humiliated!

(GROWLS ANGRILY) Excuse me,
I have to go yell something

into your washer-dryer.

He really is brilliant,
and he has a good heart.

- I'm going to marry him.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

MERCER (IN OTHER ROOM):
I'm the Mozart of board games

and novelties!

Why, that guy's a total loser.

I don't want him to marry Lisa.

Wait, I was never as bad as him, was I?

(CHUCKLES) Actually, there was a time

when I would have
preferred that guy to you.

Plus, you know what?

We got an advance copy of Side-gammon,

- and it's not bad.
- Oh, my God.

I'm starting to see things
from another point of view.

Your point of view.

I didn't even know
other people had those.

You were just worried about Marge,

the way I'd be worried about Lisa.

No matter how old and dead we get,

we just want to make sure
our little girls are okay.

- (BUZZER BUZZING)
- D'oh!

FEMALE ANNOUNCER:
Homer Simpson, we are now ready


to boil you for eternity
in a lake of blood.


Wow, suddenly
that doesn't sound so good.

(ANGELIC CHOIR SINGS)

Eh, you just had an epiphany, pally,

which means you get
to go back to your life.

It's a dumb rule, but we need
a two-thirds vote to change it.

Which is also a dumb rule.

What can I say? Hell ain't perfect.

Homer, you're getting another chance.

Now, get the hell out of hell
and go back to my daughter.

You heard the man.
Let's get your ass home.

(ANGELIC CHOIR SINGS)

BOTH: Ow!

- Damn, that hurt.
- (GROANS)

You d*ed and went to hell.

Ralph knows.

Whee!

Thank you, Goobie-Woo.

I learned more tumbling through the air

than I ever did tumbling
through my life.

- (TIRES SCREECH)
- (SIREN WHOOPS)

- (GASPS) Dad!
- Homer!

Goobie-Woo. (GIGGLES)

Oh, Homie, thank God you're okay.

(HOMER GROANING)

Homer, I have to ask you,

why did you send me that angry text?

It doesn't matter.

I have since set aside my own ego

and learned to savor my many blessings.

And you, my darling,
are foremost amongst them.

I don't understand a thing he's saying.

(SHOUTING GIBBERISH)

He seems to be in a lot of pain.

Can't you give him something?

Absolutely not.

No can do till we get to the hospital.

(GROANING)

(MARGE SIGHS)

(SIGHS): Ah.

I guess I can go another
month without a new purse.

That's the end, bitch

That's the end, bitch

That's the end.

That's the end. (LAUGHS)

You see,
I'm a projection of your psyche,

and you're in the middle of

- a very traumatic life event.
- LISA: And cut.

Now we should move on to the part

where your character slaps Dad.

Wait a minute,
isn't that just a sound effect?

No, it's got to be real. Right, Lizzo?

Uh, seems a bit excessive to me,
but, hey, pshh, you're the kid.

You know what? If you're uncomfortable,

- you don't have to do it.
- (HOMER SIGHS)

I could do it for you. And action!

- (GRUNTS)
- Maybe a few more for safety?

(HOMER GRUNTING)

Whose safety?
(GRUNTS) I don't feel safe!

- (RHYTHMIC SLAPPING)
- Ow. Ow.

Why, you little...

- This b*at is fire.
- (HOMER CONTINUES GRUNTING)

Yo, Lisa, how 'bout I get Sasha Flute,

you get your saxamaphone,

and we, uh, jam?

I'd love to.

- (PLAYING SIMPSONS THEME)
- Ow. Ow.

Ow. Stop that.

Ow. Ow.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Why, you little...

Ow.

(MUSIC ENDS)

Shh!
