JOURNAL ARCHIVE:
I think it was yesterday or the day before she was startled when she looked up to see me
and she was glad that it was not a bill but only an advertisement.
I chuckled at her zombie banter.

Last Exit to Springfield
Burns is permitted his requested opening tirade. Burns threatens dire events in fifteen minutes.
Burns and Smithers march down the corridors of power, past numerous security measures, eventually leading to a hidden control room. ``Oh, for God's sake!'' Burns realizes that they left the (dilapidated) back door open. With a ``From hell's heart, I stab at thee!'' Burns pushes the button. Power goes out all around town. Normal, law-abiding citizens instantly turn to looting. A moving electric billboard reads, ``Total blackout in Springfield.'' The strikers are not deterred. Lisa leads them in song.
On his balcony, Burns cups his ear. What? They're spirit is not broken?
Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing. They're not sad at all. They're actually singing! They sing without juicers. They sing without blenders. They sing without flunjers, capdabblers and smendlers!
-- ``Last Exit to Springfield''
Burns calls Homer to the negotiating table. He gives in on the dental plan, on one condition: That Homer resign as union president. Homer celebrates, doing a Three Stooges. Burns watches, perplexed. ``Smithers, I'm beginning to think that Homer Simpsons is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.''
Power returns to Springfield. Including the peep show district. And the fake vomit factory.
Sitting in the dentist's chair, Lisa smiles a toothy grin. The family are gathered around. Marge is pleased. ``You can hardly see the braces.'' Lisa responds, ``And that's the tooth!'' All laugh uproariously. The dentist notices, ``Whoops. I left the [laughing] gas on.'' He shuts it off. And they keep on laughing.

Man has climbed Mount Everest,
1:05:18
gone to the bottom of the ocean.
1:05:21
He has fired rockets to the moon.
1:05:23
Split the atom.
1:05:25
Achieved miracles
1:05:27
in every field of human endeavour...
except crime!
1:07:31
The underworld
will applaud for centuries!
1:07:34
- Cut the commercial!
- Get to the point!
1:07:36
It's pointless.
The depository's impregnable.
1:07:38
- The joint is bombproof, electrified...
- Bear with me, please!
1:07:43
Fort Knox is a bank. Like any other.
1:07:46
Larger, better protected perhaps,
but nonetheless a bank!
1:07:50
It can be... I think the expression is
1:07:52
blown.
1:07:54
My plan is foolproof, gentlemen!
1:07:57
I call it Operation Grand Slam.
1:08:00
I have devoted 15 years of my life to it.
1:08:04
Every detail has been
scrupulously prepared.
1:08:07
Every eventuality has been considered.
1:08:09
We'll operate on a split-second schedule.
1:08:12
Your organisation, Mr Midnight,
1:08:14
brought a batch of these canisters
across the Canadian border.
1:08:17
They contain Delta 9.
1:08:20
- Delta 9? What's that?
- An invisible nerve gas
1:08:23
which disperses 15 minutes after
inducing complete... unconsciousness
1:08:30
for 24 hours.
1:08:33
Tomorrow at dawn,
1:08:35
the flying circus of my personal pilot,
Miss Pussy Galore,
1:08:39
will spray it into the atmosphere.
1:08:44
Once the population, including
the military, has been immobilised
1:08:48
my task force,
which Mr Strap and his people
1:08:51
smuggled across
the Rio Grande from Mexico,
1:08:54
will approach Fort Knox
in motorised equipment
