| The Simpsons family car (with luggage tied to the roof) skids to a halt | |||
| at a scenic viewpoint. | |||
| Homer: | Well, here we are! | ||
| The kids raise their heads from their comics. | |||
| Bart: | Where, Weenie Barn? | ||
| Lisa: | Yum! I'll have a couple of jumbo corn dogs, please. | ||
| Back to the front seats, where we see that Marge is also reading a | |||
| magazine. | |||
| Homer: | No, you little fools! We're at another scenic viewpoint! | ||
| Lisa: | [disappointed] Oh. | ||
| The heads go back into the comics. (Marge never raised hers.) | |||
| Homer: | [losing patience] Everybody out of the car. | ||
| No reaction. | |||
| Homer: | Now! | ||
| A mad dash for the door. Everybody hops out and stretches. (Maggie | |||
| stretches too far and falls over.) Everybody except Bart, who leans | |||
| against the car reading his comic book. Homer walks over, snatches | |||
| the comic book... | |||
| Homer: | Gimme that! | ||
| ... and tosses it over the cliff. Bart watches it sail into the | |||
| river below. | |||
| Bart: | [disappointed] Great. Now I'll | ||
| Marge and the girls discover a sign that reads ``Echo Canyon''. | |||
| Marge: | Oh, look, children. This canyon is famous for its echo! | ||
| Homer: | Well, whaddya know! | ||
| Marge: | Let's take turns shouting into the canyon. Lisa, you start. | ||
| Lisa: | Okay. [cups her hands around her mouth] Boooooorrrinnnnng! | ||
| Her voice echoes through the canyon. | |||
| Homer: | Lisa! | ||
| Maggie tugs on Homer's pant leg. Homer looks up and sees Bart | |||
| carefully balanced atop a huge boulder at the top of a nearby hill. | |||
| Bart: | Cool, man! | ||
| Homer: | Bart! | ||
| Bart loses his balance... | |||
| Bart: | Whoa! | ||
| ... and falls off the boulder, sending it crashing (*thud*) (*thud*) | |||
| down the hill towards the car. Homer screams. | |||
| The boulder reaches the bottom of the hill and luckily bounces right | |||
| over the family car. | |||
| Homer: | Whew. | ||
| Homer looks up the hill at Bart, who stands and waves guiltily. | |||
| Homer: | Why you little...! | ||
| Homer runs up the hill as Bart scoots off in a cloud of dust. | |||
| Homer chases Bart down a trail that leads into the canyon below. | |||
| Homer: | Bart! (Bart... Bart... Bart...) | ||
| Bart: | What? (What?... What?... What?...) | ||
| Homer: | I'm going to kill (kill... kill...) you! (you!... you!...) | ||
| Bart: | Don't have a cow, (cow... cow...) Homer! (Homer!... Homer!...) | ||
| Marge and the girls watch from the scenic viewpoint. | |||
| Marge: | That is a remarkable echo. | ||
| Lisa: | [not excited] Whatever you say, Mom. | ||
| Lisa and Maggie produce their magazines and resume reading. | |||
| Marge does the same. | |||
