1
00:00:05,027 --> 00:00:06,585
Lisa the Iconoclast

2
00:00:33,827 --> 00:00:35,260
Seventeen ninety-six.

3
00:00:35,427 --> 00:00:38,260
A fiercely determined band
of pioneers leaves Maryland...

4
00:00:38,427 --> 00:00:41,146
...after misinterpreting
a passage in the Bible.

5
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:43,775
Their destination? New Sodom.

6
00:00:43,947 --> 00:00:45,539
This is their story.

7
00:00:45,707 --> 00:00:47,026
This is gonna be great.

8
00:00:47,187 --> 00:00:50,179
I hope they show when they traded
guns to the Indians for corn...

9
00:00:50,347 --> 00:00:52,463
...and the Indians shot them
and took the corn.

10
00:00:53,507 --> 00:00:54,940
Egad, a monster.

11
00:00:55,107 --> 00:00:58,861
- It's a horrible fiend.
- It's some sort of land cow.

12
00:00:59,027 --> 00:01:01,985
Stand back, fellow settlers.

13
00:01:15,947 --> 00:01:18,142
You've saved
our fledgling community.

14
00:01:18,307 --> 00:01:22,016
Mr. Springfield, how can I
hope to achieve such greatness?

15
00:01:25,547 --> 00:01:29,620
A noble spirit embiggens
the smallest man.

16
00:01:30,267 --> 00:01:33,816
- Springfield rules.
- Way to go, Springfield.

17
00:01:33,987 --> 00:01:37,059
Embiggens? Never heard that word
before I moved to Springfield.

18
00:01:37,227 --> 00:01:39,866
I don't know why.
It's a perfectly cromulent word.

19
00:01:43,587 --> 00:01:48,103
Now, as you all know, Springfield's
200th birthday is only a week away.

20
00:01:48,267 --> 00:01:51,100
Every class will do its part
to make our local bicentennial...

21
00:01:51,267 --> 00:01:53,542
...just as memorable
as our national bicentennial.

22
00:01:53,707 --> 00:01:56,221
Of course, you children
are too young to remember that.

23
00:01:56,387 --> 00:01:58,264
With the possible
exception of Kearney.

24
00:01:58,627 --> 00:02:02,939
Those tall ships really lifted
the nation's spirits after Watergate.

25
00:02:03,107 --> 00:02:06,179
To celebrate our bicentennial,
all 20 of you will write an essay...

26
00:02:06,347 --> 00:02:07,826
...about Jebediah Springfield.

27
00:02:07,987 --> 00:02:10,706
And the best 18 will be put on file
in the school library...

28
00:02:10,867 --> 00:02:12,778
...available to anyone
who requests them.

29
00:02:12,947 --> 00:02:15,142
- Can we do illustrations?
- No.

30
00:02:16,587 --> 00:02:21,138
Hey, they need volunteers to play
old-timey people in the parade.

31
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:24,822
Look, I can be a butter churner,
a typhoid carrier...

32
00:02:24,987 --> 00:02:27,421
An apprentice!
I think I'll be an apprentice, Marge.

33
00:02:27,587 --> 00:02:31,057
- What kind of apprentice?
- That's for my master to decide.

34
00:02:31,227 --> 00:02:33,263
How about town crier?
You'd be great at that.

35
00:02:33,427 --> 00:02:34,621
- You think so?
- Yeah, Dad.

36
00:02:34,787 --> 00:02:37,824
You're a big, fat loudmouth.
And you can walk when you have to.

37
00:02:37,987 --> 00:02:42,538
Well, if you kids believe in me
that much, I'll give it my best shot.

38
00:02:59,787 --> 00:03:03,018
Dangerous river crossings
threatened life and limb...

39
00:03:03,187 --> 00:03:06,623
...but helped our Founding Fathers
save on bridge tolls.

40
00:03:06,787 --> 00:03:09,665
Excuse me. I didn't mean
to startle you...

41
00:03:09,827 --> 00:03:13,900
...but I do love to talk Jebediah,
even when I'm drinking my chicory.

42
00:03:14,067 --> 00:03:16,706
- I'm the curator, Hollis Hurlbut.
- Hi, I'm Lisa Simpson.

43
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:19,062
I'm here to research
a report on Jebediah.

44
00:03:19,227 --> 00:03:20,216
You're in for a treat.

45
00:03:20,387 --> 00:03:24,300
You know, some historians consider
Jebediah Springfield a minor patriot...

46
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:27,903
...but I think you'll find he's easily
the equal of William Dawes...

47
00:03:28,067 --> 00:03:29,659
...or even Samuel Otis.

48
00:03:34,987 --> 00:03:38,741
Congratulations, Ned.
You are our new town crier.

49
00:03:38,907 --> 00:03:42,661
May your shrill, nasal voice ring
throughout our streets and brains.

50
00:03:42,827 --> 00:03:45,739
Well, thankily-dank, mayor.
I shan't disappoint.

51
00:03:45,907 --> 00:03:49,502
Hear ye. Hear ye.
I declare myself pickled tink...

52
00:03:49,667 --> 00:03:55,185
...about Springfield's bicen-citally,
ti-tin-toodily, rin-tin-tennial day.

53
00:03:55,347 --> 00:03:58,145
You suck-diddly-uck, Flanders.
Give me that.

54
00:03:58,867 --> 00:04:00,346
Hear ye, hear ye.

55
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:04,182
Ye olde town crier
proclaimed crappy by all.

56
00:04:04,347 --> 00:04:09,421
Chooseth Homer Simpson,
and he shalt rock thy world.

57
00:04:09,587 --> 00:04:11,305
Good God, he is fabulous.

58
00:04:11,467 --> 00:04:14,504
He's embiggened that role
with his cromulent performance.

59
00:04:14,667 --> 00:04:16,100
Topnotch criering, I admit.

60
00:04:16,267 --> 00:04:19,657
But the hat and bell belong
to Flanders, so no dice.

61
00:04:19,827 --> 00:04:21,419
Oh, they're just family heirlooms.

62
00:04:21,587 --> 00:04:24,147
That shouldn't stand in the way
of Homer taking my job...

63
00:04:24,307 --> 00:04:26,025
Less chat, more hat.

64
00:04:28,667 --> 00:04:34,299
Hear ye, hear ye. The Homer
Broadcasting System is on the air.

65
00:04:34,467 --> 00:04:37,379
All hollering all the time.
I'm gonna make the...

66
00:04:37,547 --> 00:04:39,777
You're to restrict your criering
to the parade...

67
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:42,700
...and preapproved publicity events.
- Okay.

68
00:04:46,707 --> 00:04:49,267
This case holds
our most treasured exhibit.

69
00:04:49,427 --> 00:04:52,100
Objects owned and used by Jebediah.

70
00:04:52,307 --> 00:04:55,822
Here's his fife, upon which he
sounded the sweet note of freedom.

71
00:04:55,987 --> 00:04:59,104
His hatchet, with which he hacked
at the chains of oppression.

72
00:04:59,267 --> 00:05:02,339
And his chamber pot.

73
00:05:03,747 --> 00:05:07,786
Excuse me.
My microwave johnnycakes are ready.

74
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:28,938
"The Secret Confessions
of Jebediah Springfield"?

75
00:05:29,187 --> 00:05:33,385
"Know ye who read this there is more
to my life than history records."

76
00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:36,778
Firstly, I did not tame
the legendary buffalo.

77
00:05:36,947 --> 00:05:39,063
It was already tame, I merely shot it.

78
00:05:39,747 --> 00:05:44,502
Secondly, I have not always been
known as Jebediah Springfield.

79
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:50,458
Until 1796, I was Hans Sprungfeld,
murderous pirate.

80
00:05:50,627 --> 00:05:54,700
And the half-wits of this town
will never learn the truth.

81
00:05:59,387 --> 00:06:02,777
Oh, my God.
Our town hero is a fraud.

82
00:06:02,947 --> 00:06:05,666
"I write this confession so that
my infamy will live on...

83
00:06:05,827 --> 00:06:10,582
...long after my body has succumbed
to my infectious diphtheria."

84
00:06:20,587 --> 00:06:22,703
Here's johnnycakes.

85
00:06:23,987 --> 00:06:26,182
Is everything okay?
You look a bit flushed.

86
00:06:26,347 --> 00:06:29,020
Oh, it's just the excitement
of studying Jebediah.

87
00:06:29,187 --> 00:06:32,702
Sounds like you've come down
with a serious case of Jebeditis.

88
00:06:33,507 --> 00:06:35,941
Just when I was getting
over my Chester A. Arthuritis.

89
00:06:37,587 --> 00:06:41,375
- Did...? You had arthritis?
- No.

90
00:06:44,547 --> 00:06:48,335
- Hear ye, hear ye. What's for breakfast?
- Toast.

91
00:06:48,507 --> 00:06:50,418
I don't understand thee, Marge.

92
00:06:51,307 --> 00:06:52,979
Ye olde toast.

93
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:57,545
What would you say
if I told you that Jebediah Springfield...

94
00:06:57,707 --> 00:06:59,698
...wasn't as great
as he's cracked up to be?

95
00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:03,826
Look, Jebediah was really
a vicious pirate named Hans Sprungfeld.

96
00:07:03,987 --> 00:07:07,866
His tongue was bitten off
by a Turk in a grog-house fight.

97
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:12,020
No tongue, eh? How did he talk
and eat and laugh and love?

98
00:07:12,187 --> 00:07:14,826
He had a prosthetic tongue
made out of silver.

99
00:07:15,347 --> 00:07:17,383
Yes, that would do.

100
00:07:17,547 --> 00:07:19,856
He was one of the evilest men
of the 1780s.

101
00:07:20,027 --> 00:07:22,063
He even tried to kill
George Washington.

102
00:07:22,227 --> 00:07:23,740
The dastard!

103
00:07:29,267 --> 00:07:31,019
- Give me all your money.
- Never.

104
00:07:47,547 --> 00:07:49,503
I got the white stars you wanted.

105
00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:52,864
But I couldn't find any red hearts,
yellow moons or green clovers.

106
00:07:53,027 --> 00:07:56,702
Well, I'll use it,
but I'm not paying for it.

107
00:07:57,747 --> 00:07:59,703
The next time Hans Sprungfeld
was seen...

108
00:07:59,867 --> 00:08:02,700
...he had changed his name
to Jebediah Springfield.

109
00:08:02,867 --> 00:08:06,223
Lisa, honey, when my family
first came to this state...

110
00:08:06,387 --> 00:08:09,902
...they had a choice of living
in Springfield or Stenchburg.

111
00:08:10,067 --> 00:08:11,819
You know why
they chose Springfield?

112
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:17,224
Because everyone knows Jebediah
Springfield was a true hero, end of story.

113
00:08:17,947 --> 00:08:20,177
- I believe you, honey.
- You do?

114
00:08:20,347 --> 00:08:22,907
Of course. You're always right
about this type of thing.

115
00:08:23,067 --> 00:08:27,583
- For once, I want in on the ground floor.
- Oh, thanks, Dad.

116
00:08:28,147 --> 00:08:31,344
Ralph, A. Janey, A.

117
00:08:31,507 --> 00:08:37,218
And, Lisa, for your essay,
"Jebediah Springfield: Super-Fraud," F.

118
00:08:37,387 --> 00:08:38,376
But it's all true.

119
00:08:38,827 --> 00:08:42,740
This is nothing but dead-white-male
bashing from a PC thug.

120
00:08:42,907 --> 00:08:46,502
It's women like you who keep
the rest of us from landing a husband.

121
00:08:46,907 --> 00:08:49,421
Well, nice talking to you.

122
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:55,461
Lisa?

123
00:08:55,627 --> 00:08:57,936
Ms. Hoover thought
I made the whole thing up.

124
00:08:58,107 --> 00:09:00,541
She called me a PC thug.

125
00:09:00,747 --> 00:09:03,944
Well, I've been called a greasy thug too.
And it never stops hurting.

126
00:09:04,107 --> 00:09:07,258
So here's what we're gonna do.
Grease ourselves up real good...

127
00:09:07,427 --> 00:09:10,146
...and trash that place
with a baseball bat.

128
00:09:10,587 --> 00:09:12,020
That won't help, Dad.

129
00:09:12,187 --> 00:09:15,179
- No one's ever gonna believe me.
- But you have proof.

130
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:18,305
- We'll get the confession out of his fife.
- We could?

131
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:20,981
We can use the baseball bat
to smash open the case.

132
00:09:21,147 --> 00:09:22,739
No baseball bat.

133
00:09:25,307 --> 00:09:27,980
- Hi, Mr. Hurlbut.
- Oh, you're back.

134
00:09:28,147 --> 00:09:30,058
And you brought a friend.

135
00:09:30,227 --> 00:09:32,422
Town crier. I'd like to ask you
a few questions.

136
00:09:32,587 --> 00:09:34,862
One, where's the fife?
And two, give me the fife.

137
00:09:35,027 --> 00:09:38,576
Hey, stop. I've got nothing but respect
for the office of town crier...

138
00:09:38,747 --> 00:09:40,817
...but this is well outside
your jurisdiction.

139
00:09:40,987 --> 00:09:44,218
Oh, yeah? Well, put this in your fife
and smoke it.

140
00:09:44,587 --> 00:09:47,545
- What the...?
- That's Jebediah's secret confession.

141
00:09:47,707 --> 00:09:50,380
It proves he was a fraud.

142
00:09:52,387 --> 00:09:56,096
"The Secret Confessions
of Jebediah Springfield..."

143
00:09:56,427 --> 00:09:59,817
I think, Lisa, that you've been
taken in by an obvious forgery.

144
00:09:59,987 --> 00:10:03,457
Unfortunately, historical research
is plagued by these sort of hoaxes.

145
00:10:03,627 --> 00:10:07,586
This so-called confession is just
as phony as the Howard Hughes will...

146
00:10:07,747 --> 00:10:10,864
...the Hitler Diaries
or the Emancipation Retraction.

147
00:10:11,387 --> 00:10:15,380
But it explains why there's
no record of Jebediah before 1795.

148
00:10:15,547 --> 00:10:21,019
- He was Hans Sprungfeld until then.
- That's preposterous. Now get out.

149
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:23,826
You're banned
from this historical society.

150
00:10:23,987 --> 00:10:28,583
You, and your children
and your children's children.

151
00:10:28,947 --> 00:10:30,221
For three months.

152
00:10:36,907 --> 00:10:38,420
I'm not gonna give up.

153
00:10:38,587 --> 00:10:41,545
I refuse to believe that everyone
refuses to believe the truth.

154
00:10:45,827 --> 00:10:48,785
- I'd like 25 copies on goldenrod.
- Right.

155
00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:50,778
- Twenty-five on canary.
- Canary.

156
00:10:50,947 --> 00:10:54,019
Twenty-five on saffron,
and 25 on paella.

157
00:10:54,227 --> 00:10:56,104
Okay, 100 yellow.

158
00:10:56,267 --> 00:10:58,098
You don't have to help me
with this, Dad.

159
00:10:58,267 --> 00:11:01,020
Sure I do. I always believe
in helping the little guy.

160
00:11:01,187 --> 00:11:03,143
And you're the littlest guy I know.

161
00:11:03,307 --> 00:11:06,299
Question: Is your name Ridley Scott
or James Cameron?

162
00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:07,456
No, it's Homer.

163
00:11:07,627 --> 00:11:10,664
Then I would thank you to stop
peering at my screenplay, Homer.

164
00:11:10,827 --> 00:11:13,466
If I see a movie where
computers threaten our liberties...

165
00:11:13,627 --> 00:11:15,379
...I will know that you stole my idea.

166
00:11:15,547 --> 00:11:16,821
I'm just waiting for my kid.

167
00:11:16,987 --> 00:11:18,340
Mental note: Steal his idea.

168
00:11:22,547 --> 00:11:24,981
Hi, Apu.
Can I put this poster in your window?

169
00:11:25,147 --> 00:11:27,058
Well, of course you can,
you little pixie.

170
00:11:27,227 --> 00:11:30,458
Oh, you are just as sweet
as the sticks which bear your name.

171
00:11:32,467 --> 00:11:35,300
No, no, no!
Take that down.

172
00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:38,777
As a semi-legal immigrant, your poster
could land me in a predicament...

173
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:41,222
...as red-hot as the candies
which bear that name.

174
00:11:43,347 --> 00:11:47,056
- He wouldn't let me put it up.
- Okay. Well, that's not gonna stop us.

175
00:11:47,267 --> 00:11:49,622
I know a much better way
to get attention.

176
00:11:50,347 --> 00:11:51,666
Hear ye, hear ye.

177
00:11:51,867 --> 00:11:55,303
My daughter has something
to tell you about Jebediah Springfield.

178
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:57,816
The little cutie
wants to do something cute.

179
00:11:57,987 --> 00:12:00,547
Shut up, you bums. Shut up.

180
00:12:01,107 --> 00:12:02,699
Go ahead, angel.

181
00:12:03,947 --> 00:12:07,337
Jebediah Springfield was nothing more
than an evil, bloodthirsty pirate...

182
00:12:07,507 --> 00:12:08,860
...who hated this town.

183
00:12:09,827 --> 00:12:11,624
Good God.

184
00:12:12,067 --> 00:12:15,537
Homer, you know, I support
most any prejudice you can name.

185
00:12:15,707 --> 00:12:17,857
But your hero-phobia sickens me.

186
00:12:18,027 --> 00:12:21,417
You ain't welcome here no more.
Barney, show them the exit.

187
00:12:21,627 --> 00:12:22,901
There's an exit?

188
00:12:23,067 --> 00:12:26,616
"Evil, bloodthirsty pirate."
Hello, Town Jubilation Committee?

189
00:12:26,787 --> 00:12:29,699
Yeah, I got something
that's gonna make you a lot less jubilant.

190
00:12:32,507 --> 00:12:36,056
Can't you understand, little girl?
Jebediah was no criminal.

191
00:12:36,227 --> 00:12:38,946
That's right. The reason they say
he had a silver tongue...

192
00:12:39,107 --> 00:12:41,063
...is because
he was such a fine speaker.

193
00:12:41,267 --> 00:12:43,383
That's a myth
that got mixed up with the truth.

194
00:12:43,547 --> 00:12:45,902
You are tampering
with forces you can't understand.

195
00:12:46,067 --> 00:12:48,706
We have major corporations
sponsoring this event.

196
00:12:48,907 --> 00:12:52,343
I hope you know you're sponsoring
a celebration for a murderous pirate.

197
00:12:52,547 --> 00:12:57,667
A pirate? Well, that's hardly the image
we want for Long John Silver's.

198
00:12:57,907 --> 00:13:00,182
Well, I see no way of settling this.

199
00:13:00,347 --> 00:13:03,066
I say we imprison them
for the duration of our bicentennial.

200
00:13:03,227 --> 00:13:05,502
There is one way.
Get the silver tongue.

201
00:13:05,667 --> 00:13:08,784
If Jebediah's who I say he is,
then it should still be in his grave.

202
00:13:10,147 --> 00:13:13,503
- Opening his grave? That's unorthodox.
- I guess. Human decency prevents...

203
00:13:13,707 --> 00:13:16,505
Dig him up. Dig up that corpse.

204
00:13:16,707 --> 00:13:18,982
If you really love Jebediah Springfield...

205
00:13:19,147 --> 00:13:22,776
...you'll haul his bones out of the ground
to prove my daughter wrong.

206
00:13:22,987 --> 00:13:25,103
Dig up his grave.
Pull out his tongue.

207
00:13:25,307 --> 00:13:28,538
Can't we have one meeting that
doesn't end with us digging up a corpse?

208
00:13:42,667 --> 00:13:45,898
Now, Lisa, when you see
there's no silver tongue in there...

209
00:13:46,067 --> 00:13:48,535
...will you stop trying to ruin
Jebediah's reputation?

210
00:13:48,707 --> 00:13:50,777
- Yes.
- What do we win if the tongue is there?

211
00:13:50,947 --> 00:13:53,017
- Credibility.
- Oh, what a gyp.

212
00:14:02,707 --> 00:14:05,221
Jebediah Springfield
has been replaced with a skeleton.

213
00:14:05,387 --> 00:14:07,855
No, that's the skeleton of Jebediah.

214
00:14:08,067 --> 00:14:09,978
Gotcha, gotcha. Okay.

215
00:14:10,147 --> 00:14:12,456
Well, let's start looking
for that silver tongue.

216
00:14:12,627 --> 00:14:14,219
Don't forget to look in his shoes.

217
00:14:14,427 --> 00:14:16,418
Sometimes things I lose
turn up in my shoes.

218
00:14:16,587 --> 00:14:20,102
Actually, if it's anywhere,
it would be lodged in the sinus.

219
00:14:21,027 --> 00:14:22,585
All right. Here goes.

220
00:14:22,747 --> 00:14:25,625
Forgive us, Jebediah.
We mean no disrespect.

221
00:14:29,067 --> 00:14:31,979
Well, that settles that.
There is no silver tongue.

222
00:14:32,147 --> 00:14:35,219
Is there, Bonesy? Oh, I wish, chief.
With that kind of dough...

223
00:14:35,387 --> 00:14:36,866
...I could buy me some eyeballs.

224
00:14:37,907 --> 00:14:41,024
That's the spirit, Bonesy. Why don't
you sing a song for the people?

225
00:14:41,187 --> 00:14:43,064
All right.

226
00:14:51,507 --> 00:14:53,384
I was so sure.

227
00:14:53,547 --> 00:14:55,742
Hear ye. Everybody
makes mistakes. Let's go.

228
00:14:55,907 --> 00:15:00,378
Not so fast, Simpson.
This foul business was all your fault.

229
00:15:00,547 --> 00:15:04,938
By the power vested in me, I hereby
strip you of your ceremonial bell...

230
00:15:05,107 --> 00:15:08,144
No! No!

231
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:11,141
- And tricorner hat.

232
00:15:11,307 --> 00:15:14,743
You will have the hat cleaned
and then return it.

233
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:22,984
Oh, Dad, I'm really sorry.

234
00:15:23,147 --> 00:15:25,263
I know how much
you wanted to be in the parade.

235
00:15:25,427 --> 00:15:26,985
Oh, it's not your fault, honey.

236
00:15:27,147 --> 00:15:29,297
I'm supposed to be
the responsible one.

237
00:15:29,467 --> 00:15:32,220
I shouldn't have let you
let me get carried away.

238
00:15:45,947 --> 00:15:48,700
Why did you dig up
the bones of the past?

239
00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:51,546
Why did you disturb
the ghosts of history?

240
00:15:51,827 --> 00:15:53,545
I... I...

241
00:15:56,267 --> 00:15:58,417
General Washington?

242
00:15:58,907 --> 00:16:01,705
You did some good work
exposing Jebediah, Lisa.

243
00:16:01,867 --> 00:16:03,459
Don't stop now.

244
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:05,783
There's just one piece left
in the puzzle.

245
00:16:05,987 --> 00:16:09,741
But I've caused so much trouble already,
General Washington. I can't go on.

246
00:16:09,947 --> 00:16:13,826
We had quitters in the Revolution too.
We called them Kentuckians.

247
00:16:13,987 --> 00:16:17,377
Well, I'll just have to find another
little girl to be president.

248
00:16:17,547 --> 00:16:19,663
What's your friend Janey's number?

249
00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:22,700
No, not Janey. She'll pack
the Supreme Court with boys.

250
00:16:23,747 --> 00:16:27,342
Oh, let me help you, George Washington.
I still want to help you.

251
00:16:27,507 --> 00:16:30,579
"I want to help you,
George Washington"?

252
00:16:30,747 --> 00:16:33,136
Even your dreams are square.

253
00:16:37,027 --> 00:16:39,097
Can you open my milk, Mommy?

254
00:16:39,587 --> 00:16:42,863
I'm not Mommy, Ralph.
I'm Ms. Hoover.

255
00:16:53,227 --> 00:16:56,697
The missing piece of the puzzle.
I've got it.

256
00:17:04,947 --> 00:17:07,541
You? What are you doing here?

257
00:17:07,747 --> 00:17:10,056
I was right about Jebediah,
and now I can prove it.

258
00:17:10,227 --> 00:17:12,218
Oh, please. Not that claptrap again.

259
00:17:12,387 --> 00:17:15,902
Haven't you hurt Jebediah enough
with your childish tales of pirate ships...

260
00:17:16,067 --> 00:17:19,343
...and fisticuffs and a silver tongue
that can't be found?

261
00:17:19,547 --> 00:17:22,015
- That's because you stole it.
- That's a lie.

262
00:17:22,227 --> 00:17:26,379
I'm an antiquarian, damn it.
It's my job to seek out the truth.

263
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,896
But when you found the truth,
you couldn't take it.

264
00:17:29,067 --> 00:17:31,900
You couldn't stand that you
devoted your life to a fraud...

265
00:17:32,067 --> 00:17:33,898
...so you covered it up, didn't you?

266
00:17:34,107 --> 00:17:36,382
- Didn't you?
- No, no, that's preposterous.

267
00:17:36,547 --> 00:17:40,335
- I mean, I couldn't. You can't.
- Stop it!

268
00:17:40,507 --> 00:17:42,225
Where's the silver tongue?

269
00:17:56,227 --> 00:17:58,616
I thought no one would ever find it.

270
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:00,937
When I pried open the coffin,
it was there.

271
00:18:01,107 --> 00:18:03,667
That shiny tongue,
sticking out of his mouth...

272
00:18:03,827 --> 00:18:08,059
...razzing my entire career, my life.

273
00:18:08,507 --> 00:18:11,499
Before the dust could settle,
I pocketed it.

274
00:18:11,707 --> 00:18:13,618
- But I thought I had you fooled.
- You did.

275
00:18:13,787 --> 00:18:15,857
Until I realized
that Jebediah's confession...

276
00:18:16,027 --> 00:18:18,382
...was saying more
than he meant it to.

277
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:22,743
How else could he have gotten this?

278
00:18:25,707 --> 00:18:29,495
Sprungfeld must have taken it with him
when he ran off after the fight.

279
00:18:30,747 --> 00:18:34,023
- Exactly.
- This celebration is a sham.

280
00:18:34,187 --> 00:18:35,666
And it's all my fault.

281
00:18:35,827 --> 00:18:39,376
We've got to get the word out
to every man, woman and child in town.

282
00:18:53,027 --> 00:18:57,703
Stop! Stop everything!
Stop the parade!

283
00:18:57,907 --> 00:19:00,467
- What?
- What's going on here?

284
00:19:00,627 --> 00:19:04,097
- This is highly unorthodox.
- This is Lisa Simpson.

285
00:19:04,307 --> 00:19:08,061
She's discovered something very
important about Jebediah Springfield...

286
00:19:08,227 --> 00:19:09,785
...that you need to hear.

287
00:19:12,907 --> 00:19:15,546
People of Springfield...

288
00:19:15,707 --> 00:19:17,823
...I don't know quite how to say this.

289
00:19:18,027 --> 00:19:22,066
Don't be shy, little girl. Think of Jebediah
and the words will come.

290
00:19:22,267 --> 00:19:25,384
I did a lot of research
on Jebediah Springfield and...

291
00:19:25,587 --> 00:19:28,897
- I think I can pick her off.
- Wait. Let's see what she has to say.

292
00:19:32,747 --> 00:19:34,180
Jebediah Springfield was...

293
00:19:36,107 --> 00:19:38,177
Jebediah was...

294
00:19:43,027 --> 00:19:44,016
...great.

295
00:19:44,307 --> 00:19:49,256
I just wanted to say
that I've done some research...

296
00:19:49,427 --> 00:19:51,543
...and he was great.

297
00:19:56,707 --> 00:19:58,299
Yeah.

298
00:19:59,227 --> 00:20:01,536
- Well said.
- Great speech.

299
00:20:01,707 --> 00:20:03,823
Jebediah would be proud of you.

300
00:20:10,547 --> 00:20:11,821
Why didn't you tell them?

301
00:20:11,987 --> 00:20:14,296
Because the myth
of Jebediah has value too.

302
00:20:14,467 --> 00:20:16,856
It's brought out the best
in everyone in this town.

303
00:20:17,027 --> 00:20:22,021
Regardless of who said it, a noble
spirit embiggens the smallest man.

304
00:20:32,427 --> 00:20:33,826
Well, hey, it's Homer.

305
00:20:33,987 --> 00:20:36,865
- Good to see you, neighbor...
- Get lost.

306
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:39,222
Hear ye, hear ye.

307
00:20:39,387 --> 00:20:41,218
Hear ye!

308
00:20:41,427 --> 00:20:43,065
He is not the official town crier.

309
00:20:43,227 --> 00:20:44,865
Police, do something.

310
00:20:45,027 --> 00:20:47,780
Well, I'd like to, ma'am,
but he's too damn good.

311
00:20:47,947 --> 00:20:51,542
Let him march, boys.
Let the man march.

312
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:11,455
It's that team of Jebediah Springfield

313
00:21:11,627 --> 00:21:15,222
Whip them horses, let them wagons roll

314
00:21:15,387 --> 00:21:19,380
That a people might embiggen America

315
00:21:19,547 --> 00:21:25,224
That a man might embiggen his soul

316
00:21:25,387 --> 00:21:27,218
His soul

317
00:21:27,387 --> 00:21:32,620
His soul
