Bart: Oh wow, cool!
Lisa: Aw, cool! That is neato.
Marge: Such a violent motif.
Bart: Yeah, but it's just pretend violence, which is _actually_
beneficial for children. [kicks Lisa]
Lisa: Ow! [punches Bart]
Bart: Ow!
Marge: Hmm...
Guard: [laughs] There's no need to murmur, ma'am. Here at Itchy and
Scratchy Land we're just as concerned about violence as you are.
That's why we're always careful to show the consequences of
deadly mayhem so that we may educate as well as horrify.
Marge: _When_ do you show the consequences? On TV that mouse pulled out
that cat's lungs and played them like a bagpipe, but in the next
scene the cat was breathing comfortably.
Guard: Just like in real life.
[pause]
[pointing] Hey, look over there!
[family does so, he takes off quickly]
