Dialogue

edit
[First lines; The movie begins with the usual 20th Century Fox intro, with Ralph humming the tune, then appears with instruments. Then a screen purposely smallar than the screen of the viewers appears, and an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon plays.

Scratchy: We come in peace for cats and mice everywhere.
[Itchy harm Scratchy with an American flag and abandons him. Itchy laughs and crazy his helmet. Itchy travels back to Earth with Scratchy’s space-rocket. In the front page of "The Washington Post" says "Mouse Hero Returns This Everything To Save Cat". Itchy gets honored and get at parade]

He targeting nuclear missiles by "mistake" to the moon, Scratchy screams, allowing himself to swallow the missiles. After his stomach is full, the last missile stops at the stomach and takes a boot out of the tip and kicks Scratchy, who then explodes. The Simpsons are watching an Itchy & Scratchy movie at the cinema]

Lisa: Dad, we can't see the movie!
Homer: I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on TV for free! If you ask me, everybody in this theater is a giant sucker! [turns to face the camera and points straight forward, referring to the viewer] Especially you!
[The Simpsons opening intro then commences, except that instead of just the usual title floating towards the viewer though the clouds, Professor Frink files by on a flying bike with a banner attached, with the word “MOVIE” inscribed on it, forming the movie title]
Professor Frink: Movie on the big screen?

Marge: EPA, what could that be?
Comic Book Guy: I believe it's the sound the green lantern made when sinestro threw him into a vat of acid. EPA!
Marge: Yeah. Well, thanks for coming over.
Comic Book Guy: Thanks for giving me your pregnancy pants. I've never known comfort like this. [Snaps the waistband]

Bart: But girls might see my doodle.
Homer: [mocking] Oh, I see. Then I hereby declare you chicken for life.

[Bart set off through town on his skateboard naked. Bart's penis is covered almost all the time and Agnes urges residents not to look at Bart's penis]
Ralph: I like men now.
Agnes: Don't look where I'm pointing!
[The police named Chief Wiggum, Lou and Eddie chase him in the patrol car and see that Bart's naked and begins to hunt him and Lou trying to shoots a shot]
Wiggum: Stop in the name of American squeamishness!
[Lou disabled to shoot a skateboard one of the tires, which sends Bart crashes and flying in the air and lands on the window. Ned, Rod, and Todd are sat at a table at Krusty Burger]
Ned: Boys, before we eat, don't forget to thank the Lord for this bountiful... [Bart lands on the Krusty Burger’s window in front of them naked] Penis!
Rod and Todd: [together] Bountiful penis!
Todd: Amen.
Lou: Listen, kid, nobody likes wearing clothes in public, but, you know, it's the law.
[Lou takes down Bart from the window and straps him naked and put Bart handcuffed to a lamp-post]

[Homer pulls up]
Bart: Dad!
Homer: What seems to be the problem, officer?
Bart: Tell them you dared me to do it!
Wiggum: If that's true, then you should be the one taking the rap here, not your son.
Homer: And what happens to me if it's my fault?
Wiggum: You'll have to attend a one-hour parenting class.
Homer: It was all his idea! He's out of control, I tell you! I'm at my wit's ends! [Starts sobbing] It's so… [Continues sobbing, a shocked Bart is unhandcuffed]

Bart: Oh, this is the worst day of my life.
Homer: The worst day of your life so far.

Homer: You can't kill him if he’s wearing people clothes!

Marge: A thousand eyes. What could that be?
Grampa: Hmm, I'm pretty sure a thousand is a number.

[Homer hums as he combs the pig’s hair]
Homer: [to pig] You have so many looks.

Marge: Honey, that's great. But the very best thing is that he listens to you. Because nothing means more than for a man to… How did the pig tracks get on the ceiling?
Homer: [The tune of the Spider-Man theme song] Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever a Spider-Pig does. Can he swing, from a web? No he can't, he's a pig. Look out! He is a Spider-Pig.

[At night, combine their efforts to give a presentation called "An Irritating Truth" at Town Hall. Lisa presentation of the Lake Springfield, and Colin play the guitar]

Mayor Quimby: Agreed. [He bangs gavel]
Lisa: Okay, so here's the bottom line, if we don't change our ways right now, pollution in Lake Springfield will be at this level. [The lift goes up get stuck]
Lenny: That's not so bad.
Lisa: No, the lift is stuck. [Lift is higher, and higher and higher into the Town Hall] Am I getting though to anyone?
Krusty: Hell, yeah. We need a new one of those things.
Mayor Quimby: All in favour of a new scissor lift, say "aye".
All: [shouting] Aye!
Lisa: No! This lake is just one piece of trash away from a toxic nightmare! But I knew you wouldn't listen. So I took the liberty of pouring water from the lake in all your drinking glasses! [Everyone spits out their drinks in disgust]
Moe: This is why we should hate kids!
Mayor Quimby: This is serious, people. No more dumping in the lake. I hereby declare a state of emergency. Code black.
[Townspeople gasps]
Lenny: Black? That's the worst color there is. No offence there, Carl.
Carl: I get it all the time.
[Carl and Lenny put the compost on the nuclear power plant, and melting the dress. The townspeople tides Lake Springfield. Fat Tony drags a bag towards the lake to get rid of it; feet are poking out of the top and it obviously contains a murder victim]
Wiggum: Sorry, sorry, no dumping in the lake.
Tony: Fine. I will put my [air quotes] "yard trimmings" in a car compactor. [leaves]
Lou: Uh, Chief, I think there was a dead body in there.
Wiggum: I thought that too, until he said "yard trimmings". Ya gotta learn to listen, Lou.
[Mayor Quimby proves the effectiveness of Mayor's Aide]
Mayor Quimby: Let us now make sure this barrier is completely idiot proof. Cletus.
Cletus: Yes, um?
Mayor Quimby: Try to dump something in the lake.
Cletus: Okay. [He try to dumping a dead possum in the lake only to walk into the concrete barricade, but he cannot do it] I can't. I simply can't.
Mayor’s Aide: [all chattering] Brilliant. Very effective.

Marge: You can take Spider-Pig with you!
Homer: He's not Spider-Pig any more, he's Harry Plopper.

Cargill: [enters the Oval Office] Mr. President.
President: Ja, that is me.
Cargill: Pollution in Springfield has reached crisis levels.
President: Ach! I hate this job. Everything is "crisis this" and "end-of-the-world that"! No one opens with a joke! I miss Danny DeVito.
Cargill: You like joke, huh? Stop me if you've heard this one. [holds up cage with the mutant squirrel with many eyes]
President: [gasp] Look at all those angry eyes and giant teeth! It's like Christmas at the Kennedy Compound!
Cargill: You know, sir, when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing one of the most successful of the America to the least successful agency in government. And why did I take the job? 'Cause I'm a rich man, and wanted to give something back. Not the money, but something. So here's our chance to kick some ass for Mother Earth!
President: I'm listening.
Cargill: [gets out five files] Well, I've narrowed your choices down to 5 unthinkable options. Each will cause untold misery and-
President: [points to the third file] I pick number 3.
Cargill: You don't even wanna read 'em first?
President: I was elected to lead, not to read. Number 3!

[Springfield has been sealed in a dome]
Homer: D'ooooooooooohmmmmme!

Sideshow Mel: What ruthless madmen could have done this to us?!
Cargill: [over a speaker] The United States government. [appears on a large screen] My name is Russ Cargill, I'm head of the EPA.
[Crowd has confused looks]
Moe: The what?
Cargill: Environmental Protection Agency.
Lenny: Come again?
Cargill: Look, I'm a man on a big TV! Just listen! Springfield has become…
Man: Whoo! Springfield!
Cargill: …the most polluted city in the history of the planet.
Krusty: Drama queen!

Kent Brockman: This is Kent Brockman, reporting to you on a crisis so serious, it has its own name and theme music. [Trappuccino appears on the screen] The dome has put an end to life as we know it. The town is running low on supplies of everything from gasoline to Botox. [He melts] Moment, please. [He puts back on with a peg] Now, as always… [laughing] we end our news on "The Lighter Side." It's the time of year when the swallows return to Springfield.

Mob: Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Homer: [Looking at the angry mob] Marge! Look! Those idiots don't even know where we live!
Mob: [He turns around] Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Homer: D'oh!
Mob: We want Homer!

Homer: Stand back, I got a chainsaw! [He starts making chainsaw noises and then they see him through the holes and Homer stops] Uh-oh.

Lisa: [to Colin] I'd never my life would have an absolutely perfect moment, but this is-
Bart: [singing] Lisa's got a boyfriend that she'll never see again!
Lisa: [punches Bart in the face and he falls down] Perfect.

EPA Soldier: I'm afraid we lost them, sir.
Cargill: Damn it! [throws the binoculars at the dome, but it bounces back and hits him in the face] Ow! Well, then you find 'em, and you get 'em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft!
[Pause]
Soldier: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.
Cargill: Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, no one listens to you.

Marge: Bart, are you drinking whisky?
Bart: I'm troubled.
Marge: Bart!
Bart: I promise I'll stop tomorrow.
Marge: You'll stop right now!

[In afternoon, Springfield situation deteriorates even further. The townspeople are about to reach the breaking point after running low on supplies and tired, and being cut off from the outside air for 93 days]
Kent Brockman: Day 93 under the dome. With necessities growing dangerously low, who knows what spark will set off this powder keg?
[In Springfield Book Club, consisting of Helen Lovejoy, Cookie Kwan, Lindsey Naegle, Bernice Hibbert, Luann Van Houten, and Agnes Skinner]
Helen Lovejoy: Okay. Let's discuss Tuesdays with Morrie.

[Before he’s going to crack the dome, but he doesn't come off. He using from battering rams and jackhammers to shovels. Drederick Tatum using boxing gloves to crack the dome, but he doesn't come off either, he crack it faster and doesn't come off. Sea Captain trying to dolphin rams into the dome he doesn't come off]
Sea Captain: Yarr! Yarr!
[The townspeople gets crack a dome with a log, but he doesn't come off either and falls]
Ralph: [Blowing a bubbles] Take that! [Bubble gets squash by eye] Oh, no! Blowback!
[The townspeople continues trying to using from battering rams and jackhammers. Before, this is witnessed by Cargill from a security camera. He watched a TV from battering rams and jackhammers]
Cargill: Look what they're doing to our dome. [He changes the TV, he trying to do some tool, but he can't not do it. Krusty throw pies at dome, but he can not do it either. Stampy pushes a dome, but he can’t do it. But he was a crack doing the dome] You know what that is, sir?
President: A crack.
Cargill: Exactly. First take a problem. People got out of the dome before, they're gonna get out again. When they do, there's gonna be hearings, investigations…
President: [speaking German, normal voice] I'll have to go back to making family comedies. [Look at the picture he reads "Diaper Genie"] Ach!
Cargill: Don't worry, I have a solution for you, sir. [gets out five files] In fact, I have five solutions. You don't have to read them. You'll have deniability. I'll take care of it. You know nothing.
President: No. I need to know what I'm approving.
Cargill: Absolutely. But on the other hand, knowing thins is overrated. Anyone can pick something when they know what it is. It takes real leadership to pick something you're clueless about.
President: Okay, I pick three.
Cargill: Try again.
President: One.
Cargill: Go higher.
President: Five?
Cargill: Too high.
President: Three?
Cargill: You said three.
President: Six?
Cargill: There is no six.
President: Two?
Cargill: Double it.
President: Four!
Cargill: [hold up a Option 4] As you wish, sir. [This time, he opens a Option 4: Blow Up Springfield]

[Meanwhile, back at Seattle, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart arrive at a Seattle train station to inform the world of the EPA's plot]
Marge: This is it, kids. Seattle. [Russ Cargill appears] Russ Cargill! Do you think he saw us?
[Unknowingly, they are overheard by a robotic drone, used by the National Security Agency to spy on people's conversation and are immediately arrested by Cargill upon arrival]
Cargill: Yes, I did.

[At night, the dogs was sitting in fire with sticks, and Homer take dog's leash off and trying to get busy]
Homer: Now, I know we've had a rough day, but I'm sure we can put all that behind us and… [The dogs barking and attacks Homer, causing it to pain, he screams, he rips a clothes] That's my whipping arm! [The dogs run away] Oh, why does everything I whip leave me?
[At afternoon, it snowy outside, and Homer to start walking]
Homer: Must keep going. Must keep going. No, I can’t. I can’t keep going. Yes, you can. No, I can't! Oh, shut up! You shut up! No, you. No, you. No, you. Oh, real mature. How could you say that? Oh, what's the point? It’s hopeless. [He fall asleep, and the snow disappears at night. He wakes up to see how Medicine Woman's ghost in oracle]
Medicine Woman: Don't give up, Homer. You are closer than you think.
Homer: But which way do I go? [Medicine Woman swings a dress from side to side, and he stops] Much obliged.
[Homer get closer to Springfield, able to see the dome. While observing it to look, using imaginary binoculars that somehow work]

Krusty: Get out of here!
[Crowd threatens and throw rocks and tomatoes at Homer]

[Gets on a motorcycle and borrows the Rich Texan’s hat]
Grampa: Homer? What the hell are you doing now?
Homer: Risking my life to save people I hate for reasons I don't quite understand. Gotta go! [Speeds away] First, one stop.
[Ned, Rod, Todd, and Bart are praying, Homer breaks his motorcycle in front of the church]
Homer: Bart, son, do you think you can find in your heart to give your foolish old man one more chance?
Bart: Oh, I don't know.
Ned: It seems to me, son, your father saying he wants to spend his last minute with you.
[Homer smiles]
Bart: No! I can't do it. I want a father that's the same in the morning as he is at night. What's that word?
Rod and Todd: Consistency.
Bart: Thanks, losers. Sorry, Homer.
Homer: I'll let you hold the bomb.
[Bomb’s clock is at one minute]
Bart: My man knows me. [Laughs]
[Bart and Homer sped away]
Todd: I wish Homer was my father.
Ned: And I wish you didn't have the devil's curly hair.
[Todd crying]

Martin: I'm been taking your crap all my life! [He starts beating up the bullies with a wooden plank] This feels good, no wonder you do it. [He continues to beat up the bullies]
[Bart and Homer are on the dome]
Homer: Okay, Bart, you got one shot to throw that bomb through the hole.
Bart: Dad, in case I miss, I'm sorry I said that I wished you weren't my father.
Homer: I don't blame you, son. I wasn't much of a father, it must have started with the way my father raised me. Yes, it's clear to me. It's just been one long, unbroken cycle of…
Marge: [Shouting, holding a megaphone] Somebody throw the goddamn bomb!!!
[Speeds up after Marge tells them to throw the goddamn bomb]
Bart: [loses his grip on the motorcycle and grabs Homer’s top two hairs] Gah!
Homer: Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
[Homer’s two hairs snap and Bart grab Homer’s side hairs and buy snaps and Homer grabs Bart’s wrist, Bart gets ready to throw the bomb, everyone’s looking to see if the bomb makes it through the hole]
Otto: [He drink a water in a bottle] What? What's going on?
[Bart throws the bomb through the hole, causing it to high outside in ten seconds left on the timer]
Crowd: Yyyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
[Mere seconds, bomb falls back, but is bumping around the hole of the dome like a basketball hoop]
Crowd: [Waving his arms and he gasps] No no no no no no no no!!! [At the end of jumping, the bomb doesn’t fall in the hole before it detonates. Crowd stop waving his arms and he collective sighs of relief. The bomb explosion in the dome, he blow the trees]
Homer: We did it, boy!
Bart: Uh, dad? [The dome starts cracking]
Homer: [notices] Aahhhhhhhhh!
[A cracks the dome in a glass, Homer tried to avoid the cracking dome, but he and Bart fell off the dome on one of the pieces, and ride back down by falling cracking his glass in the dome. He save from cracking the glass, and Homer and Bart trying to splinter with three pieces of the glass. He fly off down to the P of the Springfield sign, and one of the cooling towers at the nuclear power plant and land it to the slope of Springfield Gorge and the jump into the canyon]
Homer and Bart: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! [The two of them speed of the cliff of the gorge and don't get to the other side]

[Bart and Homer slingshot backs up and land on the other side of the gorge, and he stops a motorcycle as the end of the broken ambulance to the tree]
Homer and Bart: Woo-hoo!
[The dome smashes apart for good, and exploded. Shatters completely into tiny harmless pieces, and everyone cheered and chattering]
Wiggum: It's amazing no one was hurt.
Dr. Nick: [Thud. As he crushed an exceptionally large piece of giant glass] Bye, everybody. [He dies groan]

Bart: Now that was a great father-son activity!
Cargill: [levels a shotgun at Homer and Bart] Hello, Homer.
Homer: So, we meet at last, whoever you are!
Cargill: There's a couple of things they don't teach you in Harvard Business School. One is how to cope with defeat; the other is how to handle a shotgun. I'm going to do both right now.
Bart: Wait! If you kill my dad, you'll never know where the treasure is buried.
Cargill: What treasure?
Bart: The treasure of Imawiener.
Cargill: I'm a wiener?
Homer: Classic.
Cargill: [last words] Well, always leave them laughing. Goodbye, sir.
[As he is about to shoot Homer, a rock knocks Cargill out. We see Maggie up on the cliff]
Homer: [relieved] Maggie! What a great little accident you turned out to be!
[Maggie winks, does a hand gun gesture at Homer, and walks off]

Homer: Steady, steady… steady…
[Bart remembers what happens to Homer last time]
Bart: Uh, Dad? [Hands Homer some safety goggles]
