| Bart sits at the kitchen island, the cookie jar in front of him. | |||
| He checks that the coast is clear, then reaches for the jar. | |||
| Marge pops up behind him. | |||
| Marge: | Bart! | ||
| Bart: | Woaugh! | ||
| Bart has been caught with his hand literally in the cookie jar. | |||
| Marge: | Take your hand out of that cookie jar! | ||
| Bart does so, with a cookie in his hand. Marge slaps his hand (Bart | |||
| drops the cookie back into the jar) and replaces the lid. | |||
| Bart: | Oh, man. | ||
| Marge: | That jar is off-limits, Bart. | ||
| And if I catch you with so much as one cookie... | |||
| Bart: | [heavy sarcasm] Whoa, I'm scared. | ||
| Homer magically appears. | |||
| null: | Bart! | ||
| Homer leans in to make his point. | |||
| null: | [menacingly] Lay off those cookies. | ||
| Bart swallows hard. Marge and Homer leave. | |||
| Bart checks that the coast is clear and reaches into the jar, pulling out | |||
| a handful of cookies and dropping them on the counter. Lisa pops up from | |||
| behind the refrigerator. | |||
| null: | Mom! Dad! Bart's eating cookies! | ||
| Lisa (the snitch) makes her escape as Bart frantically tosses the cookies | |||
| back into the jar. | |||
| Bart: | Whew! | ||
| Then he spots a cookie still on the counter that eluded him. | |||
| Bart: | Yaaargh! | ||
| Bart covers it with a bowl just as Homer and Marge enter. | |||
| Marge: | What's under that bowl, Bart? | ||
| Bart: | Nuthin'. | ||
| null: | Lift up the bowl, boy. | ||
| Bart nervously drums his fingers. He reaches under the table and | |||
| produces two more bowls. He quickly shuffles the three bowls on | |||
| the table. | |||
| null: | [points] That one. | ||
| Bart lifts the near bowl. Nothing. He replaces the bowl. | |||
| Marge: | [points] That one. | ||
| Bart lifts the far bowl. Nothing. He replaces the bowl. | |||
| Bart: | Hey, look over there! | ||
| Like total idiots, Homer and Marge look behind them, and Bart takes | |||
| the opportunity to shuffle the bowls some more. | |||
| Marge: | What? | ||
| Bart: | Ohhhhhhhh, nuthin'. | ||
| Homer thinks he's figured it out. | |||
| null: | [excitedly, with glee] Middle one! Middle one! | ||
| Bart lifts it. Nothing. | |||
| null: | Huh? | ||
| Bart replaces the bowl. | |||
| Marge: | Oh well, I guess he's innocent. | ||
| Bart sees them out and returns... | |||
| Bart: | Huh? | ||
| ... to find Maggie shuffling the bowls. | |||
| Bart: | Uh... That one. | ||
| Nothing under the near bowl. | |||
| Bart: | Uh... That one. | ||
| Nothing under the far bowl. | |||
| Bart: | Then, that one! | ||
| Nothing under the middle bowl, either. | |||
| Bart: | Hey! Where's the cookie? | ||
| Maggie opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue, the cookie balanced | |||
| atop it. She then closes her mouth and munches away. | |||
