Brodka: I thought I told you, don't return for busted merchandise!
Homer: What are you doing to my son?
Brodka: I'm afraid your son broke the eleventh commandment: Thou shalt
not steal.
Marge: That's crazy. Bart's not a shoplifter: he's just a little boy.
Brodka: Oh, sure, _now_ he's just a little boy stealing little toys.
But some day, he'll be a grown man stealing stadiums and -- and
quarries.
Marge: My son may not be perfect, but I know in my heart he's not a
shoplifter.
[Brodka puts in the videotape and starts playing it]
Marge: Fine, play the tape. Then everyone can see you've got the wrong
boy.
[surveillance camera shows Bart standing in front of video
games]
Bart: [blocking the TV] Wait! Mom, I don't want you to see this.
[behind him, the tape plays on the wall of TVs for sale]
I did it.
[the camera repeatedly shows him stealing the game; the crowd
murmurs]
Marge: Oh, Bart.
