Homer: {Listen carefully and my words will shape images as clear as

[flash to Homer at work]
I was at my work station when suddenly --
[a voice comes over the PA]
Terrorist: Attention American workers: your plant has been taken over by
an all-star team of freelance terrorists.
[the lights go off; the emergency lighting comes on]
Homer: Not on _my_ shift! [jumps into an overhead vent]
[in Burns' office, terrorists prepare to kill bound and
gagged Lenny, Burns, and Carl]
[Homer arrives through a vent and karate chops them all]
Homer: Simpson ten, terrorists eight.
[the gagged captives laugh despite themselves]
Marge: Homer, tell the story right!
Homer: Oh, OK.
