The Simpsons Movie Page #3

Synopsis: Homer adopts a pig who's run away from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered, naming the pig "Spider Pig." At the same time, the lake is protected after the audience sink the barge Green Day are on with garbage after they mention the environment. Meanwhile, Spider Pig's waste has filled up a silo in just 2 days, apparently with Homer's help. Homer can't get to the dump quickly so dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it. Russ Cargill, the villainous boss of the EPA, gives Arnold Schwarzenegger 5 options, forcing him to choose 4 (which is, unfortunately, to destroy Springfield) and putting a dome over Springfield to prevent evacuation. Homer, however, has escaped, along with his family. Can he stop the evil Cargill from annihilating his home town, and his family, who have been forced to return to Springfield?

Nothing.

This is Kent Brockman,

reporting to you on a crisis so serious...

...it has its own name

and theme music.

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.

Moment, please.

Now, as always, we end our news

on "The Lighter Side."

It's the time of year when

the swallows return to Springfield.

I think the thing I miss most

is a simple summer breeze.

Maggie?

We've got dome wax, dome polish,

dome freshener, all your dome needs...

...at Dome Depot,

located at the 105 and the dome.

Dome Depot!

Maggie got out! Maggie got out!

Maggie was right there,

just outside the dome.

Marge, she's right here.

This dome can play tricks on you.

You just have to keep calm and...

Oh, my God.

I'm out of the dome.

Fresh air! Freedom!

I'll write you. Lead good lives!

Good evening, this is Kent Brockman.

Efforts to find out

whose selfish crime...

...caused our entrapment

have been fruitless.

Until moments ago!

A shocking discovery has been made

here at Lake Springfield.

That could be anybody's pig-crap silo.

Homer, it was you.

You single-handedly killed this town.

I know. It's weird.

Just a reminder, this station does not

endorse vigilante justice.

Unless it gets results. Which it will.

You didn't listen to me

after I warned you.

Don't worry,

nobody watches this stupid show.

What's that ominous glow

in the distance?

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Marge, look. Those idiots

don't even know where we live.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

We want Homer! We want Homer!

You monster. You monster!

Did you see the news?

Honey, come on,

we have bigger problems.

But I'm so angry.

You're a woman.

You can hold on to it forever.

Okay.

Homer, you have to go out there,

face that mob...

...and apologize for what you did.

I would, but I'm afraid if I open the door,

they'll take all of you.

No, we won't. We just want Homer!

Well, maybe not you,

but they'll kill Grampa.

I'm part of the mob!

Teeny! Take out the baby.

Here, let me get that for you.

Stay back. I got a chain saw.

Bart!

Crawl across. Hurry.

But if they see you helping us,

they'll kill you.

I'm sure your father would

do the same for...

Point taken. Now, hustle your bustles.

Archers.

I'm using a red arrow

so I know who I kill.

No, Plopper.

If you push that, Daddy will die.

Hey, my luck's beginning to turn.

Wait! There's something I have to get.

- What'd you get?

- Our wedding video.

- We have a wedding video?

- Torch his gas tank!

We lost them.

Up here.

Get them! Get them!

Little help?

You know, the word "apology"...

...is tossed around a lot these days,

but when it comes from in here...

Mom, what are we gonna do?

Maggie, not now.

We'll play later.

The sinkhole. Follow me, kids!

- Geronimo!

- Sacajawea!

So long, losers!

The top of his head is still showing.

Claw at it!

Well, they're China's problem now.

Colin!

I can't hear you!

I never thought my life would have an

absolutely perfect moment, but this is...

Lisa's got a boyfriend

that she'll never see again!

- perfect.

- What do we do?

- Now we run.

I'm afraid we lost them, sir.

Damn it!

Well, then, you find them

and you get them back in the dome.

And so 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.

Sir, I'm afraid you've

gone mad with power.

Of course. Ever try going mad without

power? It's boring. No one listens to you.

- Bart, are you drinking whiskey?

- I'm troubled.

- Bart.

- I promise, I'll stop tomorrow.

You'll stop right now.

You come back here, little man.

I miss Flanders. There, I said it!

- Where's your father?

- He went out.

Let's quickly rebuild our lives

while he's gone.

Hey, guys?

What's the secret knock, again?

Look, I know I screwed up. This is big.

It's huge! We're homeless!

Our friends wanna kill us!

Before we can even stay

in the same room with you...

...I need to know what was

going through your mind...

...when you didn't listen to me...

...and dumped that silo in the lake.

Homer!

I don't know what to tell you, Marge.

I don't think about things.

I respect people who do...

...but I just try to make the days not hurt

until I get to crawl in next to you again.

I mean, oh.

Look, I'm really sorry.

But I'm more than just sorry...

...I'm prepared with a solution.

I've always been afraid I'd screw up our

lives so badly we'd need a backup plan.

And that plan is right here!

No.

Nope.

Bingo.

Bear with me.

Alaska?

Alaska. A place where you can't be

too fat or too drunk.

Where no one says things like:

"Let's see your high school

equivalency certificate."

I don't know, Homie.

I'm not saying it right.

Look, the thing is,

I can't start a new life alone.

And I've really come to like you guys.

I just don't see it.

Marge, in every marriage,

you get one chance to say:

"I need you to do this with me."

And there's only one answer

when somebody says that.

Okay, Homie, I'm with you.

Thank you, my sweetheart.

- Mom?

- Yes, honey?

You just bought

another load of crap...

...from the world's fattest

fertilizer salesman.

You'll pay for ruining

this golden family moment!

Homer!

How are we supposed to get to Alaska

without any money?

All right, son. If you don't believe in me,

believe in America.

America. Where any man can make

quick money with no questions asked.

Step right up and win my truck!

All you have to do is conquer

the Ball of Death.

- What's the catch?

- No catch.

Just ride the motorcycle

all the way around just one time.

Three tries for $ 10.

- Marge, how much money do we have?

- Ten dollars.

That counts as a try.

That's two.

And that's three.

Here's what I'll do,

because I like seeing you hurt yourself:

I'll give you one on the house.

- You're the best.

- Dad!

When you get to the top,

don't slow down, speed up!

- But that's when it's the scariest.

- Just do it!

Yes!

Yay, Dad!

I'll take that truck now.

Oh, man. My wives are gonna kill me.

Next stop, Alaska!

Day 37 under the dome.

We are facing intermittent

power failures which...

Okay, very funny.

I'm gonna turn the lights off again.

When they come back on,

I want all my booze back the way it was.

Yeah, okay. Okay.

I'm very proud of you, Bart.

Over 24 hours sober.

- You are, aren't you?

- I'll prove it.

We're giving your father another chance,

and we owe it to him to...

- Oh, my God.

- Can I help you?

We need diapers.

- Okay.

- No. No, we don't. We don't.

- Ladies' razorblades.

- Right.

No! No. No, we don't.

I forgot, we're European.

Just give us beef jerky.

Lots and lots of beef jerky.

That's right. That's what we need.

That's all we came in for.

Sure.

Oh, my God. There they are!

So you want some of my electricity,
