[♪ melancholy music plays]

345
00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:08,189
Okay, kids, you win.

346
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:11,942
We'll leave our rewarding jobs
we're great at, and go back to…

347
00:19:12,026 --> 00:19:13,569
Oh, I can't say it.

348
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:15,321
Being parents.

349
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:16,572
Yeah.

350
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:18,240
-Yay!
-Yay!

351
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:20,701
Turn in your badges and hats.

352
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:25,122
And your hair plugs.

353
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:28,918
[grunting] Ow.

354
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:33,964
[Homer grunting in distance continues]

355
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:45,559
Yoko geri! Ushiro geri! Mawashi geri!

356
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:50,022
Konnichi-wow!

357
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:54,151
That's awesome, buddy.
You really earned that yellow belt.

358
00:19:54,235 --> 00:19:56,821
You guys are coming
to my karate demonstration, right?

359
00:19:56,904 --> 00:19:59,198
I wouldn't miss my little champ's moment

360
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:05,037
even if it was on a Sunday
during football, which it always is.

361
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:07,957
And I made popsicle stick puppets.

362
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:14,630
You made those? A child?
And not some elderly master craftsman?

363
00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:17,049
That's so creative.

364
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:22,138
I can't wait to see them in a play
with a socially-conscious plotline.

365
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:27,309
Me neither. Mommy and Daddy will sit
in the living room until you're ready.

366
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,731
They weren't faking, were they?

367
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:33,315
Don't know. Don't care.

368
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:39,655

369

374
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:07,516
a Welcome Tetrahedron, and galoshes.

Inside the tetrahedron,
you'll find your parking pass,

376
00:21:10,436 --> 00:21:13,606
the corporate hymnal, and 17 Polish zloty.

377
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:16,901
Please dispose of the galoshes
at your earliest convenience.

378
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,320
As you embark
on your professional journey,

379
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:23,949
lift your voice with me,
reciting the joyous words of our founder.

380
00:21:24,033 --> 00:21:29,997
Zog sinistrum lamentio, Cthulhu eternum!
Praise Enroy!
