Chalk Board Gag:

THE CAFETERIA DEEP FRYER IS NOT A TOY


Storyline:

Bart receives a letter written in blood from an anonymous writer, saying "I'm going to Kill You". He becomes paranoid, suspecting everyone including his neighbors, his teacher, and even his family members. But isn't it obvious? The person behind this is Sideshow Bob! Released from prison and on parole, he begins to plot his revenge against the little boy, Bart Simpson.

After being set free, Sideshow Bob launches a campaign to terrorize Bart Simpson. The Simpsons family seeks help from the FBI and joined the Witness Relocation Program, which moves them to Terror Lake, turning around all their stinking lives. Sideshow Bob, as smart as he is, strapped himself underneath the Simpsons car, accompanies the Simpsons to their new life.

"The Simpsons", renamed as "The Thomsons", are given a brandnew houseboat as their new home. During midnight, Sideshow Bob ties up everybody except Bart. He cuts the anchor as sets the boat adrift, then enters Bart's room with a knife to gut him. Bart escapes out of the window, but is trapped on the edge of the boat. As a last request, Bart requests Sideshow Bob to sing "H.M.S. Pinafore", while the boat sails back to Springfield, where Chief Wiggum arrests Sideshow Bob for attempted murder.

Homer: Oh my god! Someone's trying to kill me! aeh...! Oh wait... It's for Bart...


Chief Wiggum: Well, I'd like to help you m'am, but I'm afraid there's no law against mailing threatening letters.
Marge: I'm pretty sure there is!

Lawyer: Be honest...!
Others: *more people raises hand*
Patty: *raises hand too* - Ah... she's always leaving the toilet seat up...


Lawyer: If released, will you pose any threat to one Bart Simpson?
Sideshow Bob: Bart Simpson?! Ah... the spirited little scam who twice foiled my evil schemes, then sent me to this danked urine soaked hellhold...!
Parole Judge: Uh... we object to the term urine soaked hellhold when you could've said peepee soaked heckhold.
Sideshow Bob: Cheefully withdrawn...
Laywer: Well, what about that tatoo on your chest? Doesn't it say Die, Bart, Die?
Sideshow Bob: No, that's German for 'The Bart, The".
Parole Judge: No one who speaks German can be an evil man! Parole Granted!


Chief Wiggum: Once a man is in your home, anything you do to him is nice *blink* and legal.
Homer: Is that so... Oh Flanders, won't you join me in my kitchen? Heh, heh heh...

Ned Flanders: *Comes in* - Hidily hey!
Homer: Go home!
Ned Flanders: Didilly doo!

Ned Flanders: Oh, isn't that nice!
Sideshow Bob: Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Lisa Simpson, that little baby Simpson. That is all.
Homer: Woohoo! Did you hear, Bart? Hey... oh...


Homer: Wow! A houseboat! You know the great thing is, if you don't like your neighbors, you can just pull up the anchor and sail some place else! Heheheheh!
*All the other houseboats drive away*


Sideshow Bob: Hello Bart!
Bart: Ah! Mom! Dad!
Sideshow Bob: Your family can't help you now!
*Homer still sleeping after Sideshow Bob tied him up*
Lisa: Oh no! Dad's been drugged!
Marge: No he hasn't!


Bart: Take him away, boys!
Chief Wiggum: Hey I'm the chief here! Bake'em away, toys!
Lou: What'd you say chief?
Chief Wiggum: Do what the kid says...


Notes:

There were 14 threatening letters sent to Bart, 13 of them from Sideshow Bob, 1 of them from Homer, after Bart tatooed his butt with "WIDE LOAD"

There were 13 rakes on the floor while Sideshow Bob stepped on them and said "euh".

But he only steps on nine rakes when he reaches the Thompson's houseboat.

Things that stepped over Sideshow Bob in the middle of the road: 21 soldiers, elephants that say "Terror Lake Salutes Hannibal Crossing the Alps"

Sideshow Bob's Tattoos: "Die, Bart, Die", "Ouch Man!" (with Bart's head on a skateboard), a skull and crossbones, "LUV" (on one hand), "HAT" (pronounced Hate, on the other hand - actually, the A is the phonetic, a long "a" with the line above it).

The episode parodies the film Cape Fear and contains elements of Psycho (when Sideshow Bob stays at the Bates Motel in Terror Lake).

The options given the Simpsons for places where they can stay: Cape Feare, Terror Lake, New Horrorfield, Screamville (which Homer misheard as Icecreamville).
