| Homer and the kids walk through an aquarium exhibit. Behind them is | |||
| a wall of glass, through which we see seaweed floating and the | |||
| occasional fish. | |||
| Homer: | Stick close by, kids, and I'll explain everything you need to know about | ||
| the briny deep. | |||
| Lisa: | [with reverence] I want to see a giant squid attack a sperm whale and | ||
| battle to the death. | |||
| Bart: | I want to swim free with the fishes. | ||
| Bart produces a pair of swim trunks. | |||
| Bart: | I brought my lucky red swim trunks. | ||
| Homer: | All right, can the chatter and listen up. | ||
| Close-up on Homer as he plays tour guide. | |||
| Homer: | Here, we have the hideous Moray eel. | ||
| The eel swims out of its hiding place, then scoots off. | |||
| Homer: | And over here, we have the tasty but repulsive sea bass. | ||
| The resemblance to Homer is uncanny. | |||
| Lisa: | [points offscreen] Yuck! What the hell is that? | ||
| Homer turns and reacts. | |||
| Homer: | Bart! | ||
| In the tank floats Bart, who gurgles... | |||
| Bart: | Come on in! The water's fine! | ||
| Bart floats in the tank as the girls and Homer watch. Maggie sits on | |||
| the railing. | |||
| Homer: | [pointing at Bart] Boy! You come out of that tank right now! | ||
| Lisa: | Do some tricks, Bart! | ||
| A shark swims past, Bart riding it like a horse. | |||
| Lisa: | Oh! | ||
| The girls applaud. Homer turns his back and folds his arms. | |||
| Homer: | [grumbles] Stop that. It only encourages him. | ||
| The shark swims past again, Bart standing on one leg on the shark's back. | |||
| Lisa: | Ah! | ||
| The girls applaud. Homer defiantly closes his eyes. | |||
| Lisa: | Dad, you gotta see this! | ||
| Homer turns around, opens his eyes, and gasps. | |||
| The shark swims past slowly, Bart's limp head hanging out of its mouth. | |||
| Homer and the girls are on the aquarium roof looking into the tank. | |||
| Lisa: | Bart should be coming up for air any minute now. Look, I see something! | ||
| In the water floats a pair of swim trunks. Homer fishes it out. | |||
| Homer: | [sadly] Lucky red swim trunks... | ||
| Lisa: | [sadly] Well, the trunks were lucky, even if Bart wasn't... | ||
| Bart's head pops out of the water. | |||
| Bart: | I'll take those. | ||
| The girls smile with relief. Bart leaps out (naked), grabs the | |||
| swim trunks... | |||
| Bart: | Thank you very much. | ||
| ... and scurries off. | |||
| Homer: | [trying to contain his anger] Bart... Come over here... | ||
| Bart is back in the pool, as a shark circles him menacingly. | |||
| Bart: | I'd like to accomodate you, Homer, but I'm afraid it's safer in here. | ||
