"Uh, don't you have anything healthy here?" "Oh, well, we do have some low-salt candy bars... and some reduced-fat soda." "And our beef jerky is now nearly rectum-free." "Hey." "These Powersauce bars look pretty healthy." "Oh, yes." "That is a new item." "No bar contains more applesauce." "Hmm." ""A bushel of apples packed in each bar..." ""plus the secret ingredient that unleashes... the awesome power of apples."" "Wow!" "[Mispronouncing] "Gym"?" "What's a "gym"?" "[Mispronounces] Oh." "A "gym."" "Ow." "Ow." "Boy, I'm feeling this."

"Bart's a tub." "Lisa's weak as a little girl." "And Maggie doesn't seem to be growing at all." " Now that's just not" " You too, Marge." "If you toned up a little, you'd probably get a lot more action. [Clicks Tongue]" "Homer, stop insulting us and eat your filth." "Food." "I mean food." "Sorry." "I only eat food in bar form." "When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power, I'm told." "That's why I'm compressing five pounds of spaghetti... into one handy, mouth-size bar." "[Gulps]" " Hmm."

"He helped me blast through the burn and ride the zone." "[Grunting]" "Yo, yo, Rainier, my man." "How you doir?" "I thought you'd be here pumping those guns." "We've come up with a killer promotion for Powersauce bars." " Picture this." "You" " I love it." " climb the highest mountain in Springfield." " The Murderhorn." "Are you crazy?" "That's suicide." "[Scoffs] Sure!" "For experienced mountain climbers." "But you're a movie star." "And you'll have the Powersauce edge." "Not for all the applesauce in Glückenschlabel." "My dad could do it." "He eats 50 dollars' won'th of Powersauce bars a day." "Overshoot the extreme." "Max the envelope and so on." "Wow." "He's really been paying attention to our slogans." "Brad, a word?" "New angle:" "Joe Schlub eats Powersauce bar, becomes world's mightiest man." "It's believable." "That's what I like about it." " Congratulations, sir." " Huh?" "You're gonna be the first man to climb the Murderhorn." "I am?" "Uh, no." "That's it over there." "[Gasps]" "Yeah." "That's it." "Just to the right of the one you're looking at." "[Whimpers]" "[Whimpers] Oh." "[Homer] Okay." "Mountain climbing supplies." "Rope." "Ice ax." "Heart medicine." "Son, don't go up that mountain." "You'll die up there, just like I did." "You? "Did"?" "Sure." "It was the winter of'28." "The Butter Baby Flapjack Company sponsored me and a fella named McAllister." "We were almost to the top when we ran low on supplies." "Heroically, I gave him the last short stack." "Then that glory hog took all the supplies and headed for the top alone." "[Screaming]" "I fell 8,000 feet onto a pile of jagged rocks." "Of course, folks were tougher in those days." "I was jitterbugging that very night." "But that skunk McAllister was never seen again." "But that skunk McAllister was never seen again." "If you're trying to scare me, it won't work." "I'm 100% focused on my goal." "Hey." "My hat has earflaps." "And when he reaches the top, Mr. Simpson here... will plant this Powersauce flag as an eternal symbol... of mars contempt for nature." "Wait." "Is "contempt" the word I want here?" "Homer, you're the world's greatest hero." "Do you owe it all to Powersauce?" "That's right, Brad and Neil." "I only eat Powersauce, the bar with "applesauceicity."" "Has anyone mentioned that Homer doesn't know anything about mountain climbing... and that this is all crazy?" "Well, yes." "A number of people." "But don't worry." "We're sending two Sherpas along as guides." "[Speaking Foreign Language]" "Aw." "Good-bye, everyone." " Don't touch my stuff." " Dad, wait." "You're not risking your life just to impress me, are you?" "Well, yeah." "Oh, cool." "Now get goir." "Chop-chop." "Remember our agreement." "He can't fail." " [Homer Wheezing] - [Oxygen Hissing]" "Oh, man." "This is hard." "Uh, Dad... shouldn't you save a couple bottles for when you're a little higher?" "Bart, this climb is the most difficult ordeal I have ever faced." "Don't get discouraged, Dad." "Only four vertical miles to go." "[Homer] D'oh!" "[Snoring]" "[Both Grunting]" "[Roaring]" "Huh?" "[Sighs]" "Wow." "Look how far I climbed." "And I'm not even tired." " [Kicking]" " Wake up, you lazy Sherpas." "We've got a mountain to climb." "[Foreign Language]" "This Powersauce newsbreak is brought to you by Powersauce." "Get sauced with Powersauce." "Neil?" "Our top story:" "Homer Simpson has just "powersauced" his way... past the halfway point of the Murderhorn." "Brad, could Homer have made it this far... without the engineered nutrition of six kinds of apples?" "No way, Neil." "Oh." "This just in." "Powersauce is amazing!" "[Mutters] Huh?" "What the" "Hey!" "You guys are dragging me up the mountain." "Brad and Neil were quite insistent you not die." " Frankly, we don't care." " So nobody believes I can do this, huh?" "Well, my son does." "And I'm not gonna let him down." "I'm going to climb this entire mountain on my own." "Then technically shouldn't you go back down and start all over?" "Shut up!" "You are so fired!" " Whoo-hoo!" " [Laughing]" "Homer Simpson here." "I've sent the Sherpas home, and I'm heading for the top- solo." "Are you crazy?" "You'll never make it." "The hell I won't." "You're forgetting I've got my Powersauce bars." "Wake up, Homer." "Those bars are just junk." "They're made of apple cores and Chinese newspapers." "Hey." "Deng Xiaoping died." "[Neil] Homer, listen to me." "Turn back now!" "Forget it." "I'll be at the top by noon." "Over and out." "Homer Simpson, defying all medical advice... has switched to Powersauce's archrival, the Vita-Peach Health Log." "Doctors say he may not have the mega-nutrients needed to stave off death." "Oh, Dad's gonna die, and it's all my fault." "I really need a good talking-to." "Don't worry, kids." "Your father will be okay..." " as long as he's with those Sherpas." " Uh, Mom." "[Groans]" "[Grunting]" "Eight." "[Panting]" "[Grunting]" "[Groans] Air's getting thin." "But I'm gonna make it." "Ooh." "Getting light-headed." "Good." "No heavy head to carry." "Wait."

"I made it all the way to" "Aw, crap!" "It just keeps going!" "[Sobbing] I give up." "You beat me, mountain!" "[Sighs] At least I won't freeze to death." "[Yelps]" ""Last entry:" "I have mountaineered to the utmost..." ""but the peak is unclimbable." ""Worse still, that treacherous skunk, Abe Simpson... stole my oxygen and tried to eat my left arm."" "Ew, Dad!" ""Tell my beloved wife my last thoughts were of her..." ""blinding and torturing Abe Simpson." "Cheerio."" "[Groans] My dad's a disgrace, just like Bart's dad!" "Me!" "[Sobs]" "This may not be the top, but it's as close as a Simpsors ever gonna get." "This is for you, Son." "[Grunting]" "[Gasping]" "Uh-oh." "Hey." "Wait a minute." "I'm on the top." "I actually did it!" "I climbed the unclimbable mountain!" "Bow down before me, everyone, for I am your king!" "Family to Dad." "Family to Dad." " Come in, Dad." " Uh, I'm pretty sure he's dead, little girl." "Here." "Have a Powersauce bar." "It's on the house." "Hey." "Something's comir down the mountain- fast!" "Oh, no!" "He fell!" "I can't look!"

"You're all crazy." "Crazy as a" "Okay." "Here's what I think happened." "Did you make it to the top, Dad?" "Huh?" "Did ya?" "Why don't you tell me, Son?" "See any interesting flags up there?" "All I see is a pole." "Maybe the flag fell off." "Ah, damn it!" "Forget about it, Homer." "You made it to the top." "You're the coolest dad ever." "Thanks, Bart. That makes it all won'thwhile." " Is that your wallet?" " D'oh!" " [Murmuring]" " Shh!"
