Title sequence
Couch :- Grampa is sleeping on the foldout sofa, and only manages to utter a "huh?" before the family folds back the sofa over him. They sit, as if nothing happened.
On a sunny day at the SNPP at 8 am, Mr. Burns strolls gleefully into his office, whistling.
Smithers: Good morning, sir. Care for some coffee?
Burns: [joyful] No, the promise of a new day is more than enough exhilaration for me.
[time passes, and Burns gradually loses his energy]
[at 11:30, his head bangs on his desk]
Burns: [exhausted] Smithers... coffee.
-- "Mountain of Madness"
A sip is all that's needed to boost his batteries.
Burns: We need some excitement around here!
Smithers: Chinese checkers or domestic, sir?
Burns: No, no. Something fun. Something the men will enjoy... like a safety drill! But what kind?
-- That sounds like a lot of fun indeed, "Mountain of Madness"
Burns: Meltdown alert? Mad dog drill? Blimp attack? Ah... I think a good old-fashioned fire drill today.
[alarm goes off; most people just stare, intrigued]
Carl: All right, popcorn's ready! [takes the bag out of the microwave and pours kernels in a bowl]
Homer: Hey... that's the fire alarm.
Carl: We gotta get out of here.
Lenny: Wait for me! [filling a cup at the cocoa machine] Come on, come on, come on!
-- Why save your life when there's cocoa?, "Mountain of Madness"
All around the plant, it's panic and havoc. One man grabs an extinguisher, and proceeds to hit anyone nearing him.
Homer storms into his sector and frantically tries to decide which framed picture on his panel he should rescue. Out of all the family photos, he chooses a black and white of himself dressed like a cowboy.
Mr. Burns and Smithers stand outside the plant, waiting for Burns' victims to evacuate.
Burns: Is it supposed to take this long? What's a good time for a mass evacuation of the entire plant?
Smithers: Forty five seconds.
Burns: And what's our time so far?
Smithers: I don't know, sir. This stopwatch only goes up to fifteen minutes.
Burns: Damnation! What kind of slow coaches do I have working for me?
[Homer runs out the door]
-- Does that answer your question?, "Mountain of Madness"
Homer shuts the door and secures it with a bench, before he runs, panting, to his boss.
Homer: I think I won, Mr. Burns.
Burns: Yes. [hauntingly] You won, all right. You won more than you bargained for.
Homer: Woo-hoo!

Title sequence
Couch :- Grampa is sleeping on the foldout sofa, and only manages to utter a "huh?" before the family folds back the sofa over him. They sit, as if nothing happened.
At a snow-covered Mt. Useful, the family tries to park the stationwagon, but it only succeeds in slipping around on the ice, bumping into cars. Homer finally decides to park it somewhere in the proximity of their intended parking space.
Mr. Burns hosts the event, preparing his employess for what will be "the most arduous and back-breaking weekend of their life." At that point, he notices Homer has brought his family, which he was not supposed to do. At any rate, since it's too late to take them back, they'll have to stay there. The kids moan.
Marge: Don't worry, kids. This is a national park. We can have lots of fun!
Ranger: Oh, I'm afraid that's no longer true, ma'am. Budget cutbacks have forced us to eliminate anything the least bit entertaining.
[long pause]
Well, uh, see ya.

Original Airdate on FOX: 02-Feb-97
The ranger and Marge step inside the cabin (no, the other one).
Ranger: Hey, what is going on here? Who are you people? This is a lookout post. Where is Ranger McFadden?
Drunk: [slurred] I was just happy to see some of the nice people!
Ranger: Quiet, you drunk. Where's ranger McFadden?
McFadden: Right here, sir. Right behind the drunk.
-- "Mountain of Madness"
Smithers figures out they must be in the wrong place, and the ranger points out to the only other cabin, which is just over... well, it used to be where that big mount of snow is standing now. McFadden takes a look at the sismograph.
McFadden: [whistles] Look at all these avalanches. Do you think they could have buried the cabin?
Ranger: Well, I'll tell you one thing: they didn't come here for the mountain music festival. March 14th to 18th.
-- Good luck when the tuba starts playing, "Mountain of Madness"
Back at the "undersnow" cabin for one last time, Mr. Burns and Homer are sitting and staring at each other, drifting into madness and paranoia.
Hmm. Look at his eyes. He's trying to hypnotize me, but not in the good Las Vegas way.
-- Homer, "Mountain of Madness"
Finally, Burns suspects Homer is trying to bump him off. He grabs a a fireplace poker and arms himself, thinking "He can't kill me if I kill him first!"
Burns: I'll kill you, you bloated museum of trechery!
Homer: You and what army? [imagines Nazi snowmen behind Burns] [gasps and shakes] Stand back! I have powers! [threateningly] Political powers!
Burns: [imagines dead world leaders behind Homer] Uuh!
-- Slightly revised history with Gandhi playing kick-boxing, "Mountain of Madness"
Homer, Burns and their hallucenated armys go head to head. After much fighting, Mr. Burns prepares to hit Homer with the fireplace poker but only hits the Propane tank. Cracks develop on the rattling tank, and the cabin is jet-launched in a rocket-like manner. Through the snow shoots the cabin.
Meanwhile, everyone at the lookout post is preparing to rescue airborne Mr. Burns and Homer.
Ranger: Okay, search party, before we set out, let's take a moment to humor the children. [to Bart and Lisa] Kids, your father's gonna be just fine! Okay, everybody, put on your corpse-handling gloves, we've got two frozen bodies buried somewhere in this mountain.
Bart: Did you hear that, Lis'? Dad's gonna be just fine.
