ANNOUNCER: Intramural softball,
where even the most overweight tubbo
can pretend to be an athlete.
(dramatic music plays)
-Play ball! -(drunken clamoring)
You play ball!
-Hey! Oh! -Hey! Oh! This guy!
Those Indian Point Nuclear jerks,
they think they're so great because their fallout radius includes Manhattan.
How many Mets games can you postpone?
Fuggettabowtit!
-Hey! -Oh!
-Pizza! -Tattoos!
Verrazzano Bridge!
Everyone is so out of shape.
It's like watching maple syrup play softball.
Yeah, Dad hit a home run five minutes ago
and he's still rounding second.
(dramatic music plays)
Let's just call it a triple.
Oh. (grunts)
The triple, the most exciting play in baseball.
Except this time.
Fun fact-- the odds of a baseball hitting a bird
are one in a billion, but I've seen it four times.
-(crowd cheering) -MAN: We're out of beer!
Burnsie, old buddy, you care for a cigar?
Oh, thanks, but no.
If I inhale warmed air, I tend to float away.
(sighs) You ever think we're watching
the last generation of nukemen?
No one wants to go into this dirty business anymore.
Fiddle-faddle, nuclear power is the industry of tomorrow.
Oh, yeah? Says who?
Life magazine, The Saturday Evening Stenograph,
and "Professor Noodle-Strudel and the Dove Soap March of Comedy."
Me? I'm thinking of getting into, uh, to solar.
I won't use it myself,
I'll sell it to the poor people and the musicians.
Oh, not me.
I vow that nuclear power will continue
long after my body is gone
and my brain is in a shark that can walk on land.
I'll educate a new generation of nuclear workers.
And I'll find those bright-eyed radio-activists
at my alma mater-- Yale.

Hey! Yo!
-I'm eatin' Mister Softee over here! -(horn honks)
Hey, kayak on the Hudson!

Well, I am here to offer you money.
I'd like to endow a Department of Nuclear Plant Management.
Wonderful. Of course we can't do nuclear.
Our students are highly-entitled wusses.
You'd be creating a space for violence to happen.
How about funding a chair in the non-narrative cinema
of self-identified pansexuals?
What? What? What? What? What?!
We also need to hire more deans
to decide which Halloween costumes are appropriate.
Eight deans should do it.
(sputters) Is this still a coven of capitalism
where evil money can acquire a patina of virtue?
Yes, that's in our charter.
But with an issue as hetero-patriarchal as nuclear power,
we'll have to hire multicultural empathizers,
build a new safe space.
Not so fast.
We insist on a chair of anti-nuclear studies
and a nuclear-neutral curriculum pathway.
Absolutely, Teddy.
We run all decisions past the squash team.
Also the fencing team, water polo,
and Handsome Dan the mascot.
(goofy laughter)
Release me, you hound.
(goofy laughter) Oh, yeah.

This was the home of ruthless media disruptor Samuel F.B. Morse.
-Who's his successor? That fellow? -"Fellow"?
That word is cisgender-normative, okay?
You're worse than Hitler!
Too late for flattery.
I'm not giving this school a dime.

Living, but you'd better hurry.

Ah, nothing relaxes me like a stiff drink

Ugh. Has everything in this school surrendered to diversity?
Yale's on its way out.
That's why I started my own line of colleges.
287 campuses.
We took over all the old Circuit Citys.
Really?
Using teachers these holier than thou Ivies fired for cause.
I celebrated Columbus Day.
I, uh, referred to God as "He."
I got five students pregnant.
Hmm, I could start my own college.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We can't talk business in here.
Just general schemes for world domination.
Fraternal handshake?
Oh, all right.
You are on my radar.
(slurping)
(grunting)
-(crackling) -What you doing, Mr. B?
I never want to see the word "Yale" again.
We're changing all our locks to Schlage.
Eh, to be honest, I'm thinking of starting my own college.
You can make a big fat profit.
-A for-profit college? -Eh, that's where I went.
University of Phoenix, Oklahoma in Washington State.
At least that's where it was last month. It moves around quite a bit.
-A for-profit college? -You said that already, sir.
A for-profit college?!
-("Pomp and Circumstance" plays) -Excellent.
Kudos.
(chuckles)
And now for your first economics lesson.
So long, suckers!
(screaming)
Boola Boola?
(sinister chuckle) Moola moola.
The world is faster than ever,
and you can't make it without a college degree.
But for some reason worthy students don't always get in.
Students these days don't have four years to waste

If only our faculty could be hired so easily.
Oh, but we already have a faculty-- them!
Sir, these people can barely run the plant,
much less teach on the side.
Smithers, when you think of teachers, what do you think of?
Low-paid workforce with no health care in a toxic environment.
And there you have them.
Just pull them off one-by-one till the power stops.
We'll be fine.
(Marge hums)
What are you teaching, Dad?
I'm giving lectures on what I do at work.
Well, what do you do at work?
Well, I... you know, the button stuff.
-Have you prepared a reading list? -I have to read?
-No, it's for them. -Whoo-hoo!
(groans)
But what are you actually gonna say to them?
I'll start with the life cycle of the atom.
A baby atom is called a "neutron,"
when it turns professional, it becomes a proton.
And if it runs for office, it's an electron.
(Lisa gulping, sighs)
Lisa, did you just drink that?
(slurred) How'd you guess?
No, "sheriously." Oh, wow.
Wow, my first slurred word.
Dad, a college education is important.
It's my only hope for getting me out of this--
pardon me, Mom-- dump.
Lisa, go to bed right now.
-Oh, keep your pants on, lady. Dad! -(gasps)
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad!
I believe in higher education.
You are a teacher.
If you make a joke out of it,
(voice breaking) you are crushing my only hope.
(sobbing)
As the good kid here, I have to point out she's acting very badly.
For shame.
Lisa, sweetie, my professor money's
going into your college fund.
Ooh, that's good, I guess. How much is in it now?
Depends on what we do with Grampa after he dies.
Just burn me!
Ooh, well, that's the most expensive option I'm considering.

When do I throw this in the air?
You're a professor, so you don't throw it.
In fact, you hardly ever wear it.
Geez, I had this custom-made.
-Apartheid's over, Lenny. -It worked!
Mm-hmm.
Man, copying is so hard.
-Any questions? -Yes. What does it mean?
Uh, what do you think it means?
Remember, there are no wrong answers.
Well, I would guess that, uh,
three neutrons coming out when only one went in,
uh, leads to some kind of chain reaction.
Wrong. There's always a class clown.

Yes, that's it. Go on outside.
I'm totally unqualified.
I don't even know how to get outside from here.
That's the answer!
Oh, wait.
-Hey, what's the matter, Professor? -He don't know what to teach his class.
Homer's just not cut out to be a pedagogue.
That's easy. You just got to register.

Oh, you said "pedagogue."

LISA: I can help you, Dad.
Aw, if it isn't Daddy's little wino.

Oh, they were great. They inspired me.
And the best part is where they show the real guy over the credits.
He looks just like the actor but fatter.
-(snoring) -(door slams)
Okay, listen up.
All it takes to be a great teacher is to care.
And I care. So I'm a great teacher.
I don't like you, and you don't like me,
but I'm your only ticket out of the barrio.

May I ask why?
I... well, I...

No, Andre. You don't get to throw your life away.
I'll be here for every class.
-Carpe diem. -Carpe diem.
Just what does that mean, by the way?
Fish for a dime, my friend.

How much are we charging for hugs, Smithers?
Five dollars, but, uh, I'll give you one for free.
-Quiet. -Monty, I want to buy the whole school.
But it must include Homer Simpson.
He is a great teacher.
But first I must find out how much he's worth to the plant.
(whispers indistinctly)
I see. It seems I owe you $100,000.
Great lecture, Professor S.
I finally understand how gamma rays turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk.
Always remember the equation, "gamma equals green."
Man, I wish you were my father, Dad.
Uh, Simpson, I've sold your contract.
No! You cannot stop me from teaching.
I was going to paint houses in the summer.
Nothing will stop the greatest teacher in the world from painting houses!
Oh, calm down.
You'll be working for this man at his private estate.
What? Me?
-Alone? Without my kids? -Yes.
Sounds good. Who are you?
The owner of more for-profit colleges than anyone in the world.
These students are going to miss you.
Thank you!
I just want to say,
each and every one of you gets an incomplete!
-I can't hear him. Can you? -Nope.

Uh, use the map!
D'oh!
Homer Simpson.
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: Voice does not match file from 1989.
(1989 Homer voice): Let's go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes.
Welcome, Homer Simpson.
Whoa.
Hmm.
Hmm? You unload your own dishwasher?
Yeah. If you don't, you get a funny smell.
Now, come in. Are you tired from your trip?
Let's get you a refreshing cryofreeze.
Rejuvenating, huh?
It opens your pores.
-Uh, what happens if I pee in this? -Are you just asking?
-Or did you already pee in it? -I'm asking for a friend.
So what's our next activity?
I hope it's not square dancing.
I'd like you to meet the rest of my guests.
Hmm.
Homer, say hello to the greatest educators in the world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.
The solar system is over four and a half billion years old.
Jeopardy! champion of champions, Ken Jennings.
Who is "glad to meet you"?
Financial educator Suze Orman.
You are not allowed to buy a Mercedes
until you pay off your credit cards.
Great, now you tell me.
Screenwriting guru Robert McKee.
Welcome to the act three climax,
resolution of story and subplots.
I expect you're wondering why I've assembled a team
of the world's greatest teachers.
-To teach something. -To somebody.
Well, there are only six basic plots.
Rise-fall, fall-rise,
steady fall, steady rise,
black cop-white cop, and stop that wedding.
Well, here's what I'm up to.
This is Sallie.
And these are Sallie.
And those are Sallie!
And those... are Sullys.
Robot replicas of the greatest pilot of all time.
He lost all their bags. No one talks about that.
You are the greatest living educators, of humans.
But now you must face the greatest challenge of your lives--
Can you teach an artificial intelligence?
To teach a robot.
Now you've compounded my interest.
That was a very useful time cut.
Now, let's find out what's going on.
Leave that to me, Robert. What's going on?
I'll tell you, and I won't kill you afterwards.
What? This is a student loan application.
Mm. Sallie...
Sallie Mae?
The Federal Student Loan Program?
You're creating an army of robots so advanced
-that they can get student loans. -That's right.
These stu-bots-- or ro-dents, if you prefer--
will attend the universities I've been buying up
and funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to me.
That's it. As Americans,
it's our duty to either stop evil billionaires
or elect them to the highest office.
Well, we've done it.
You're all up to your polyurethane necks in debt
and heading to Yale.
Follow me.
SALLIES: Boola Boola. Boola Boola.
Good luck, Homer.
Will I see you at the last minute saving the day?
Nah, too clichéd.
The Sallies have blended right in.
We've got 12 productions of The Crucible going,
and the deepest Division III women's lacrosse team
the world has ever seen.
(Homer murmuring)
They're perfect students in every way.
And that's their weakness.
Bleep, blop, bloop.
Bleep, bloop, blorp.
I am a robot, too.
My father was a toaster.
He's in botface.
That's unbelievably offensive.
-Microaggression. -Cultural appropriation.
-Offensive. -Offensive.
ALL: Offensive.
Dear Lord, those teachers made them too human.
You've ruined me. Well, not completely.
I still have my health.
So, how much will it cost if my daughter applies in ten years?
-$2,000. -That's not so bad.
-That's the application fee. -Oh, yeah.
Lisa, do you see them?
The rings of Saturn.
I do.
The question is, what is five-sixths?
Marge, listen to me. You can't fix stupid.
You have to kill him for the insurance.
I've always said these tags are pointless.
