Okay, not proof.

I have drawings that I made of how he might have murdered her.
14

I think I really captured him in this one.
16
Help!

I'm stuck to the turlet!
19
Well, they do have nice manners, don't they, Homer?
20
That's my popsicle!
21
I'm aware of that!
22
Homer, you're embarrassing me, just like you did in that restaurant.
23
That's not fair, Mom.
24
You embarrassed yourself in the restaurant.

48
Oh, you liberals!
49
You may publicly heap praise on Al Gore, but privately, you thank God for a Ronald Reagan.

They're right, you know.
53
What's going on here?
54
Oh, Dad, you know as well as we do.

Flanders is the unquestioned lord and master of the world.

He's created an air-perfect society where there's no crime, hunger, or war, and all have access to the lively arts.
57
If that's your world, I don't want to live in it!
58
Foolish time-traveling Earthling, thinking his pathetic actions can alter the universe!

How do you take it, Mom?
126
You're a rock.
127
Oh, Lisa, I have my shortcomings.
128
Sometimes I forget to dust the bananas.
129
And once I got the wrong kind of yogurt, so I hid it behind a magazine at the checkout counter.
130
Well, you can borrow Bill until he gets back.

I really did.
140
Marge, what are you doing?

Vacuuming.

But it's not on.

Homer's out getting the champagne, but when he comes back, for some reason, there's a tree branch wedged into his mouth.

Hi, honey.
148
I'm back.
149
Hmm.
150
That is a disturbing dream.
151
It wasn't a dream.
152
Marge, the first thing we're going to have to learn how to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
153
Hey, sweetheart.
154
Remember the good times?
155
You okay, Arnie?
156
You and your stupid license plate game!
157
You'll notice a little something extra in your pay envelope this week, fellow stone cutter.
158
A walnut!
159
Somebody jammed a Canadian ring in here.
160
Here, Lenny.

There's a little trick with that machine.
163
Just take it and...
164
You stupid machine!
165
Thanks for the help, chosen one.
166
Thanks for the help.
167
I like that.
168
I like that fine.
169
The blades of this squishy machine must be cleaned twice a day to avoid botulism and trench mouth.

174
Well, now, wait a moment.
175
I made DCKM to protect this organization.
176
Now, now, hear me out.
177
Hear me out, T.
178
The society is only 1,500 years old, so it's not like we'll be giving up that much tradition.
179
We could just start a new secret organization in the abandoned Baskin Robbins across the street.
180
Go to hell, all you losers.
181
I don't need you anymore.
182
Hey, I don't think he's gonna miss us at all.
183
Boo!
184
A new baby.
185
This means I'll be the dreaded middle child sentenced to a life of neglect and indifference.
186
I know.
187
If I want to stand out, I'll have to become an overachiever, precocious, beyond my years.
188
Oops, that's redundant.
189
Hey, I'm getting the hang of this already.
190
Wait, what about Mrs. Comet?
191
There is no Mrs. Comet.
192
And so the mighty rocket,
193
carrying with it all of our hopes and dreams, smashed those hopes and.. scrambled those dreams like So many cheap hens' eggs.
194
And left us all with some...
195
six hours to live.
196
Hey, this TV doesn't work.
197
Oh, I'm afraid we can't get TV in here, Bartly-Dartly.
198
But we have enough food, air, and Sandy wipes to last for 50 years.
199
Got any magazines?
200
Sure did they do.
201
One copy of Ranger Rick, censored for your enjoyment.
202
The comet is looming huge in the sky now, hurtling toward us, threatening to wreak untold destruction.
203
Ocean Wells is doing it again.
204
He never gives up.
205
That young man has loads of potential.
206
Sorry, Cresty, we're out of water.
207
All we have left are these shaltines.
208
I'll take them.
209
What did I tell you, Marge?
210
We're living in a fast lane now.
211
From here on in, it's the primest rib, the sourest cream, and the horsiest radish.
212
Hey, is that you, Krusty?
213
Hey, remember the songs we always sang in prison?
214
Let's sing it now.
215
Oh!
216
How you gonna keep them down on the farm?
217
Farm.
218
After they seen Paris!
219
Hey, you still remember it?
220
Uh, yeah!
221
Let's sing some more of the songs we used to sing.
222
Okay, boy.
223
Here it comes.
224
Get ready.
225
Excuse me, mate.
226
We're trying to have our national championship here.
227
I'm aware of that.
228
That's right, Ponger.
229
Well spoken, young man.
230
I'll be going now.
231
I'm sure you want to get home to your ten-year-old American reruns.
232
Don't tell us who shot Jay-R!
233
Nice form.
234
I try to bring a little grace to everything I do.
235
Homer, come out from there.
236
Not until I regain my honor and manhood by getting myself out of debt.
237
You're not going to do that by sitting under that table.
238
Oh, aren't I?
239
Get your lemonade!
240
Ice-cold lemonade!
241
Homer, that's orange juice.
242
All right, shh.
243
You're driving away my business.
244
On the other hand, Elephant Man, which he produced but did not direct, didn't scare me at all.
245
You should have shown him knocking over a hut or destroying a Japanese city.
246
Maybe give him a knife at the end of his trunk.
247
Um, thanks.
248
I'll consider that for the sequel.
249
What the pool boy saw?
250
Take one.
251
Well, pool boy, how'd you like to scrub the algae off my bottom?
252
Oh, I'm hip to your pitch, hot mama.
253
Hmm, now what do we do?
254
Sir, if we do have one more candidate.
255
Excellent!
256
Yes, he can be my understudy.
257
And the winner for best Swedish film made by an eight-year-old, Lisa Simpson!
258
Homer Eaton Mein Haagen-Dazs.
259
Maggie, we won!
260
And neither of us knows if Keith is still alive thanks to mixed organs or vice versa.
261
And tonight, the following celebrities have been arrested.
262
While Heather Locklear-Fortesky remains at large.
263
Remember, if you see any celebrities, consider them dangerous.
264
He's right, sir.
265
The pups have to attend a formal engagement.
266
Oh, come on, Smithers.
267
It's tough subject matter, but it's still funny.
268
Um, excuse me.
269
I...
270
Oh, I'm sorry. So sorry.
271
I support your cause, really, I do.
272
I...
273
I'm so sorry.
274
Sorry.
275
SCAB!
276
Oh, now, really?
277
SCAB!
278
Look, I brought lemon bars.
279
The scab brought lemon bars!
280
Mmm!
281
Oh, look at this!
282
Mmm!
283
Yum!
284
That's all. For numbers.
285
That's why you need a wife in every state.
286
Am I right, kids?
287
You kids are no crap.
288
Oh!
289
I said it again.
290
And even though he was born with no limbs and a pineapple-shaped head,
291
he became the first American president to ever take his oath of office in the nude.
292
And that man's name was...
293
Well, who was it?
294
Who was it?
295
It was John Fitzgerald McBoing Boing.
296
I'm gonna guess Richard M.
297
Droopy drawers.
298
Alright, very good.
299
Coming up next here on Howard Stern, KKK guy, lesbian grandmothers, and Senator Alphonse D'Amato.
300
Listen to me!
301
Thank you, God.
302
Now can you do something about the blasphemous Fox Network?
303
Lisa, pass me that scarf.
304
I want to try the carrots blindfolded.
305
Get a lot of that T.J.
306
Hooker.
307
That is his worst toupee yet.
308
What was that?
309
March?
310
Is that you?
311
Yeah, I'm sorry I'm late.
312
Long day on the job.
313
Oh, hey, hey, March.
314
What?
315
What?
316
Uh, you don't have to take it off right away, officer.
317
Sir, maybe there's some police work to take care of here.
318
Oh, homie.
319
Yes, Dad, that was me.
About This Lesson
In this lesson, you will engage in English speaking practice through selected deleted scenes from The Simpsons Season 6. These scenes provide a fun and humorous context for learning, allowing you to practice your pronunciation and intonation. You will focus on phrases that depict everyday conversations, enabling you to sound more natural in your speech. By utilizing the shadowing technique, you'll enhance your listening and speaking skills while also grasping the emotional subtleties of the dialogue.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Waterproof - resistant to water; often used to describe clothing or accessories.
- Government healthcare liaison - a representative who communicates between government agencies and the public regarding healthcare.
- Embarrassed - feeling self-conscious or ashamed.

Practice Tips
To effectively use the shadowing technique with this video transcript, begin by listening to the scenes without looking at the script. This will help you to understand the rhythm and tone used by the characters. As you grasp the context, play the video again, this time pausing frequently to repeat what you hear. Focus on mimicking the pronunciation and intonation of the characters. Their dialogues are characterized by quick exchanges filled with humor and sarcasm, which can pose a challenge but also offers an exciting opportunity to improve your speaking skills.
Use shadowspeak as you practice, by allowing the audio to guide your speech rhythms. When you encounter phrases that showcase emotional reactions or exclamations—like "Help! Help! I'm stuck to the turlet!"—emphasize these moments as they are key to delivering natural sound and expression in conversational English. This will help you become more fluent and comfortable in everyday discussions. Lastly, aim to repeat each section until you feel confident, and feel free to record yourself to notice improvements in your English pronunciation.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
