| Bart and Lisa sit at opposite ends of the couch, watching TV. | |||
| TV set: | [weird music] We'll be right back, after this word. | ||
| Bart and Lisa immediately start fighting, cartoon style. (All you see | |||
| is a cloud of dust out of which assorted body parts briefly appear, | |||
| accompanied by yells of ``Take that!'' and ``Auugh!'') | |||
| TV set: | And now... | ||
| Bart and Lisa immediately stop fighting and return to their places. | |||
| TV set: | ... back to our show. | ||
| [sounds of gunfire, cars tires screeching, and a tremendous crash] | |||
| Bart and Lisa are fighting, and Maggie walks in. She wanders up to | |||
| the television set and changes the channel. Bart and Lisa freeze | |||
| in mid-fight. | |||
| Bart: | Hey! | ||
| Lisa: | Don't change the channel. | ||
| Bart: | We're watchin' that show. | ||
| Maggie turns the TV back to its original station, and Bart and Lisa | |||
| resume their fighting. Maggie watches them for a brief while, then | |||
| leaves. | |||
| Maggie sits between Bart and Lisa on the couch. They seem to be watching | |||
| something like the Lawrence Welk Show. Bart has the remote control on his | |||
| lap. | |||
| Lisa: | This is a dorky show, Bart. Change the channel. | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel. | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| During this argument, Maggie hops off the couch and heads for the TV set. | |||
| Meanwhile, the argument gets more heated. | |||
| Lisa: | Change the channel! | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!! | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Maggie changes the channel. We hear the Tracey Ullman Show theme. | |||
| Maggie changes the channel back. Bart and Lisa continue where they left | |||
| off. | |||
| Lisa: | Change the channel. | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel. | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel! | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel! | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel! | ||
| Bart: | No. | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!!! | ||
| Bart: | No! | ||
| Lisa: | Change the channel!!!! | ||
| Bart: | No!! | ||
| Homer, Lisa, Maggie, Marge, and Bart sit on the couch, in that order. | |||
| Marge knits. They're all watching TV. | |||
| Homer: | Well, here we are. The whole family. All together, sharing, getting | ||
| to know each other, exchanging ideas, stories and laughs, snuggling up, | |||
| bonding together as only a tightly-knit family can. Why, we're more | |||
| than a... | |||
| Bart: | Dad, you can stop now. The commercial's over. The show's back on. | ||
| Homer: | Oh. Oh, yeah. | ||
