The Simpsons Movie Page #4

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?

do you?

Well, for once,

the rich white man is in control.

I have two buttons behind this desk.

One will supply your town with power,

the other releases the hounds.

Reach me. Make me your brother.

The hospital's generator

is about to give out.

Lives will be lost.

"Lives lost." Go on.

We got a convict we were gonna

fry tomorrow, but now we can't.

Tempting. Tempting.

Look, all our reasons mean nothing.

Just look into your heart

and you'll find the answer.

- First door on the right.

- Thank you.

What...? This isn't the way

I pictured Alaska at all!

Oh, that's better.

Homer!

Well, at least my poster

didn't get torn.

Welcome to Alaska. Here's $ 1000.

Well, it's about time! But why?

We pay every resident $ 1000...

...to allow oil companies to ravage

our state's natural beauty.

I'm home!

Oh, thanks.

What are you doing, Bart?

Just passing the time.

My boy loves Alaska so much,

he's applauding it.

- Lisa, why aren't you clapping?

- But, Dad...

Clap for Alaska!

Well, Marge, we're separated

from the kids by a wall of snow.

All my dreams are coming true.

We're going to need more birds.

Day 93 under the dome.

With necessities growing

dangerously low...

...who knows what spark will set off

this powder keg?

- Let's discuss Tuesdays with Morrie.

- Again?

If we don't get a new book,

I'm going to puke.

You're the five people

I'm going to meet in hell!

We're out of coffee!

I can't take another minute

in this dome!

Take that.

Oh, no! Blowback!

Look what they're doing to our dome.

You know what that is, sir?

- A crack?

- Exactly.

People got out of the dome before,

they're gonna get out again.

When they do, there's gonna be

hearings, investigations...

I'll have to go back to

making family comedies.

Don't worry,

I have a solution for you, sir.

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.

No. I need to know

what I'm approving.

Absolutely. But on the other hand,

knowing things is overrated.

Anyone can pick something

when they know what it is.

It takes real leadership to pick

something you're clueless about.

- Okay, I pick three.

- Try again.

- One. Five?

- Go higher. Too high.

- Three?

- You said three.

- Six? Two?

- There is no six. Double it.

- Four!

- As you wish, sir.

Are you tired of

the same old Grand Canyon?

Here we are, kids, the Grand Canyon.

It's so old and boring.

I want a new one. Now!

Hello. I'm Tom Hanks.

The U.S. government

has lost its credibility...

...so it's borrowing some of mine.

Tousle my hair, Mr. Hanks.

Sure thing, son.

Now, I'm pleased to tell you all

about the New Grand Canyon.

This weekend. East of Shelbyville

and south of Capitol City.

That's where Springfield is!

It's nowhere near where

anything is or ever was.

This is Tom Hanks, saying:

If you're going to pick a government

to trust, why not this one?

Did you see that?

Yes, they're going

to destroy Springfield.

But we're going to stop them.

Homie, get your clothes on. Homie?

I'm happy here. Screw Springfield!

I can't believe you'd say

something so selfish.

Marge, those people chased us

with pitchforks and torches.

Torches! At 4 in the afternoon!

- It was 7 at night.

- It was during Access Hollywood.

Which is on at 4 and 7.

Dad, how can you turn your back

on everyone who loved us?

Flanders helped

when we were in trouble.

Who cares what he did?

He's not your father.

I wish he was.

You don't mean that.

You worship me.

Oh, yeah?

Look what I did to your picture.

Look at it.

How-dilly-doo-dilly.

How-dilly-doo-dilly.

Why, you little...!

I'll strangle-angle you!

Diddily-diddily.

Bart, stop it! Leave this to me.

Homer...

...in every marriage,

you get one chance to say:

"I need you to do this with me."

That is the stupidest thing

I've ever heard.

Homer Simpson!

We're saving Springfield!

Listen to me, all of you.

We are staying.

We have a great life in Alaska...

...and we're never going

back to America again.

I have spoken!

Well, I guess I've let her

worry about me long enough.

Marge? Kids?

Okay, here goes.

Homer...

...I've always stood up for you.

When people point out your flaws...

...I always say:

"Well, sometimes you have to

stand back to appreciate a work of art."

Way back.

Lately, what's keeping us together...

...is my ability to overlook

everything you do.

And I overlook these things

because...

Because?

Well, that's the thing.

I just don't know how to finish

that sentence anymore.

So I'm leaving with the kids

to help Springfield...

...and we're never coming back.

And to prove to myself

that this is the end...

...I taped this over our wedding video.

Goodbye, Homie.

I love you.

Marge? Kids?

- So, Mom, what's our plan?

- What are you doing up there?

Looking through people's luggage.

I'm the mascot of an evil corporation.

Get down from there.

We have to keep a low profile...

...till we get to Seattle to tell the world

of the plot to destroy Springfield.

I don't know if you guys

should be talking so loud.

Oh, Lisa, it's not like the government

is listening to everybody's conversation.

Hi, I'm calling about

your Meat Lover's pizza.

I like meat, but I don't know

if I'm ready to love again.

- You hang up first.

- No, you hang up first.

Okay.

She hung up on me!

But we're fugitives. We should

just lay low till we get to Seattle.

Hey, everybody, I found one!

The government actually found

someone we're looking for!

Yeah, baby, yeah!

Homer Simpson...

...do you know why you are here?

Because my family cares more about

other people than they do about me.

Drink this liquid.

More, please.

Now we will cleanse your spirit...

...by the ancient Inuit art

of throat singing.

Throat singing?

How long are we doing this?

- Until you have an epiphany.

- Okay.

What's an epiphany?

Sudden realization of great truth.

Okay.

Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig

Does whatever a Spider-Pig does

Look out!

He's a Spider-Pig

Unless you have an epiphany...

...you will spend the remainder

of your days alone.

Epiphany, epiphany, epiphany.

Bananas are an excellent source

of potassium.

Americans will never embrace soccer?

More than two shakes

and it's playing with yourself?

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh, do whatever you want to me.

I don't care about myself anymore.

Because...?

Because other people

are just as important as me.

Without them, I'm nothing.

In order to save myself...

...I have to save Springfield!

That's it! Isn't it?

That was the most

incredible experience of my life.

And now to find my family,

save my town and drop 10 pounds!

Thank you, boob lady.

This is it, kids. Seattle.

Russ Cargill! Do you think he saw us?

Yes, I did.

Run! Run!

Run! Run!

Run! Run!

Jump! Jump!

Land! Land!

Rest! Rest!

Run! Run!

Now, I know we've had a rough day...

...but I'm sure we can put all that

behind us and...
