Int.Day.Simpson House.
A nice sunny spring morning. Alarm clock goes off at 7:00 a.m. as Homer wakes up and checks his wrist watch to make sure the clock is correct then he checks the date showing Apr. 15. 2014.
Homer:
Woohoo!
Homer checks to see if Marge is still sleeping but doesn’t see her. Homer ignores it and with a smile Homer starts getting dressed.
Cut to:
INT.DAY.SIMPSON HOUSE. – Kitchen.
Homer with a big smile sees Marge cooking breakfast and Lisa and Bart waiting for their breakfast at the table.
Homer:
(rubbing Lisa’s head)
Gooood morning family. Lisa my sweet little nerd, love you sweety.
Lisa expressed a confused look.
Homer:
Bartman! You-
Homer attempts to rub Bart’s head but the spikey hair hurts Homer’s hand.
Homer:
Ow! Why you li-(remembering he’s in a good mood). I mean my sweet little porcupine son. How are those F’s coming along? Getting them style right?!
Homer laughs then walks toward Marge.
Homer:
My Margerine, my beau-(sees Marge is not looking her best). My Margie..
Marge:
Mhhhhhhhh.
Maggie who is sitting on her high chair next to Homer pulls on Homer’s shirt to grab his attention.
Homer:
Aww and how can I forget Maggie. Maybe it’s just because who doesn’t talk.
Homer laughs and sits waiting for his pancakes. The rest of the family look at Homer with a worried look.
Homer:
Why is everyone looking so worried for? Pancakes got burned? (laughs) It’s okay, I’ll still eat them.
Homer laughs again but the family still give Homer a worried look. Lisa looks at Bart then at Marge to see if they’ll say anything and realize that they won’t.
Lisa:
Ugghh, fiiine. I’ll just ask it. Did you forget it’s Saturday morning?
Marge:
Yeah, usually what you do on Saturdays is wake up at noon to yell at one of us for 30 minutes about how it’s Saturday morning and you should use this time to sleep as much as you want and then you go back to sleep for 5 more hours!
Homer:
(elbowing Bart and laughs)
Ooooh women…right Bart?
Bart:
They’re right, Homer. When you do finally decide to get up, you take over the tv and watch a marathon of your lameass cop shows.
Homer:
Bart! I don’t care much about you using that kind of language but never use that language to describe my favorite form of amateur camera recording tv show things!
Marge:
Wait a minute…is today that Annual Hot Dog Festival you drag us to every year.
Homer:
(drools)
Mmmmm hot dogs.
Homer starts drooling.
Homer:
No! Those are every Spring!
Lisa:
Uhh…dad.
Homer:
Yes, saxomophone lady?
Lisa:
We ARE on Spring.
A shocked Homer looks at his watch to look at the date then take a minute to count.
Homer:
Well, we have something to do next week guys.
The entire family moans in displeasure.
Homer:
Seriously guys, today is the date.
Bart:
What you’re gonna sign up for the gym fatso?
Homer:
No!
Lisa:
You’re gonna take me to the library?!
Homer:
No-no-no
Marge:
You’re taking me to Rancho Relaxo?!
Homer:
Noooo.
Entire family looks at Maggie. Maggie sucks on pascifier.
Homer:
Anyway today is the I’ll watch the new Captain USA movie! You guys have no idea how long I’ve waited for this.
Lisa:
But dad I thought you hated comic books.
Homer:
Oh Lisa, Captain USA is a movie not a comic book.
Bart:
Can I tag along dad?
Homer:
It’s a date..
Ned Flanders walks by the Simpsons’ kitchen. Marge sees Ned.
Marge:
Oh hey Ned..
Ned:
Hey there Marge…Simpsons. Such a nice morning, mmm nice morning to work on some good ol house duuuties.
Homer sees Ned carrying a bucket of paint.
Homer:
Hey Flanders…watcha gonna do…paint?!
Homer and Bart laugh.
Ned:
Oh that’s right neighboreeno. I have to repaint the old chimney. Edna pointed out on how the old texture of the house makes her feel like we’re living in some kind of…get this…church.
Ned makes a disgusted noise.
Lisa:
And what’s wrong with that?
Ned:
Knowing Edna’s uhh…mannerism are not quiet like mine and I don’t think it’s right to impose my beliefs on her.
Marge:
That’s very thoughtful, Ned.
Ned:
(looking straight at Lisa)
Yeah seeing how many non-believers are always complaining of how we impose our salvations on them.
Lisa:
As a Buddhist, I’m not going to comment on that with a counter-arguing.
Homer:
Lisa, what did I tell about those chatrooms?!
Lisa rolls her eyes.
Ned:
Except for one thing.
Marge:
What is it?
Ned:
At this age of mine, doing this all by myself will take a toll on me. Maybe even take years out of my age.
Marge:
Oohh, well maybe we have a man in the house that will be glad to help.
Homer:
Well Bart…looks like you won’t be able to make it to the movie today I’m sorry about your lose.
Bart:
She was talking about you dingus!
Marge:
Homer will be very glad to help you.
Ned:
Ohohokoloy-dokoly! I’ll see you in jiffy Homer. Yous guys have a nice day.
Ned walks away slowly. Lisa and Bart walk out of the kitchen.
Homer:
(angry)
You volunteered me to help Flanders?! You know how I feel about that.
Marge:
Shhh, knowing his speed he may not be too far enough and he might hear us.
Ned stops as he hears Homer and Marge. Homer and Marge freeze as they try to wait to hear Flanders continue walking. Ned continues walking.
Homer:
(angry)
I told you already I was going to watch the new Captain USA movie!
Marge:
Oh for crying outloud, you don’t even know who he is!
Homer:
Yes I do! I happen to be a fan, especially when he fights that octopus robot guy!
Marge:
That’s Tarantula Man!
Homer:
The one where he fights that clown guy!
Marge:
That’s Owlman! Look Homer, just help Flanders real quick and then I’ll go watch the movie with you tonight.
Homer:
But I was going with Bart!
Marge:
Fiine, go with Bart then!
Homer:
Ohhh Bart…
Bart walks in.
Marge:
Not now!
Bart walks back out.
Homer:
Oooh fiine. But if Flanders starts talking about his kids I am so out of there.
Marge:
Besides you can go some other day. Why didn’t you go yesterday?
Homer:
(Annoyed)
I was working, Marge..
Marge:
Maybe you should’ve gone after work instead of going at Moe’s.
Homer:

Bart:
Milhouse, we have to watch the new Captain USA movie. How much money do you have on you?
Milhouse:
Nothing Bart you know I always have nothing.
Bart:
Milhouse I was expecting you to have some since I bought you some Krusty Burgers yesterday.
Milhouse:
No you didn’t you only said that and ended up eating both of them!
Lisa slowly walks in Bart’s room.
Lisa:
Do I hear a certain brother needs some quick cash?
Lisa gives an evil laugh. Lisa then pulls out cash.
Bart:

Edna:
Come in Mr. Simpson, Ned will be ready in a bit.
Homer walks in.
Homer:
So how long do you think this is gonna take?
Edna:
Knowing Ned, it’ll probably take all day. Ned is a hard worker which is why I appreciate about him. He’s given me a new outlook on life.
Edna begins ranting on how she has a new positive outlook but all Homer is thinking about is a spoof of Captain USA and Cops. Ned walks in.

Marge:
Hey Neddie! I’m sorry for what happened, is Edna ok?
Ned:
Oh no-no Marge, your tubby husband here accidentally but still murdered her just like he did to my first wife!
Homer:
Oh c’mon Flanders it was just an accident.
Marge:
Yes Ned, Homer might be inconsiderate but I’m sure he didn’t mean to.
Ned:
Ever since you moved in next Homer, everything in my life has changed for the worse. You are one big walking back luck charm?
Homer:
Would it really be called “charm” if it’s bad luck?

Ahhh, I’m taking the boys and we’re moving far-far away from you!
Ned walks away.

At Edna’s funeral, Bart is making a speech about Ms. K.
Bart:
I know I’ll definitely miss Ms. K. The way she would reward me detention the way no other teacher would. No other teach can make getting into trouble so fun. The way she understood how we had no interest in things she thought so she would teach it unenthusiastically.
All the bullys look down and cry.
Principal Skinner now making a speech.
Skinner:
Yes, I know for a fact every single staff member of the school will miss Edna. But I-I would always miss her since the day she left me. At least I had some comfort level knowing I can always see her smile somehow. But now all I have is her picture that we see here. Ned you were only lucky guy for stealing my Edna.
Agnus Skinner:
(to herself)
Ugh, what is this, The Notebook?
Skinner:
Mother, I can hear you.
Homer gets up as if he’s walking toward the podium and looks at Ned. Ned gives him a nasty look so Homer sits back down.
Ned walks to the podium.
Ned:
And just like last time, me and the boys will have to start a new chapter. Except this time, we’ll do it in another town. I don’t think I can bear to risk mine or my boys lifes in this city.
Ned mad dogs Homer.

Marge:
Hey Ned..
Ned:
Marge..
Ned continues working.
Marge:
I really hope you didn’t have to move out.
Ned:
Neither did I but by the events of the last few days, I feel like it’s best for the family.
Marge:
Can you at least find it in your heart to forgive Homer?
Ned:
No can do Marge.
Marge:
Oh please Ned, just give him a chance to be the most sincere Homer he can be. He’s been in his bed all the day.
Ned:
He’s in bed all day weekends anyway.
Marge:
Yes except you know he’s depressed because he won’t even argue about how he should sleep some more. He just stays there…quiet.
Ned:
(sighs)
Fine, I’ll let him give me the last words he’s got.
Marge:
Oh thank you, Ned. He’ll be out soon.

INT.DAY.SIMPSON HOUSE.-homer’s bedroom.

Really? he said that?
Marge:
Yes Homer, he did.
Homer:
woohoo!
Marge:
But Homer…you have to be the most sincere that you can be. Even if you feel like it wasn’t entirely your fault. Just say sorry but say it like you mean it.
Homer:
Well Marge…I KNOW what sincere means and I’ll have you know that I don’t have a problem with that.
Homer rushes out.
cut to:
EXT.DAY.FLANDER’S HOUSE.
Homer:
Hey Flanders.
Ned:
Homer..
Awkward silence.
Homer:
Nice uhh…truck…good for uhh…carrying…stuff.
Ned:
Yes, a lot of stuff. Life’s worth of stuff.
Homer:
Listen Ned..
Ned:
Hmmm?
Homer:
I really feel bad for your second wife-
Ned:
Just call her my wife.
Homer:
I’m really sorry about your wife. I should’ve just let you eat that hot dog then maybe those hot dogs wouldn’t have slipped and neither maybe neither would’ve Edna.
Ned:
I think this is as sincere as you’re gonna get.
Ned helps the boys to the truck.
Homer:
Wait Flanders!
Ned:
What, Homer?!
Homer stays quiet a bit.
Homer:
Ooooooh. I’m really sorry for being sort of responsible about your wife’s death. But c’mon Ned you shouldn’t be superficial about this and stop being my friend. You-you’re my best friend Flanders and you’re always admirable. Your a great dad to your kids, whom respect you. Unlike my kids so much…lousy Bart. And you’re too strong of a person to let this get a holf you. You were a great single dad back when Maude passed and you could still be one now. You have two great kids who need you to be strong and be the Flanders you’ve always been, the Flanders who I want to be like when I grow up. Which is what I’ve never been able to do, grow up. But I see you and how you carry yourself and I learn each and everyday how to grow up all over again. Don’t move Fladers, Springfield needs you, your kids need you to stay, the church needs you, and most importantly for me I need you.
Homer gets on his knees and puts his hands together.
Homer:
Please Flanders and I am very sorry.
Marge watching Homer from the kitchen as she starts crying.
Ned:
Ooh Homer, get up.
Homer gets up.
Ned:
I already rented the truck, it’ll be ashamed if I use it for nothing at all.
Homer’s brain echoes Flanders saying “Nothing at all.”
Ned:
Nothint at all!
Homer:
Why are you repeating that.
Ned:
(smiles)
Cuz I know it disturbs you. You know I still prefer Springfield much better than Shelbyville?
Homer:
You were moving to Shelbyville?!
Homer quietly laughs, as he sees Ned noticing so he stops.
Ned does Edna’s siganture “Ha!”.
Homer and Ned laugh.
Homer:
So listen Ned, if I help you put all your things back in your house and invite you to a movie, will you uhh…you know…stay?
Ned stays quiet.
Homer:
This is the last week Captain USA is in theatres..
Ned:
(to Rod and Tod)
Boys, grabs your things and place them back in the house!
Homer:
Woohoo!
Homer offers Ned a hug and Ned hugs back.

You know I only have one question..

Oh I don’t know! Soome kinda army guy?
Ned:
You don’t know? But you had a whole week to get to know him. Why didn’t you?
Homer:
Cuz I was working..
Ned:
Oh I don’t know about that..
Homer:
Hey c’mon I thought you said you only had one question.
Ned laughs.
