"(scoffs) Why won't you let me fail?" "What about you, Bart, Homer?" "Homer?" "Lethargy, skin spots, spongy gums-- this man's got scurvy." "But we've only been at sea one day." "When's the last time you had citrus?" "I had a mimosa at brunch a few years ago." "Well, Bart, while your father spends the next few days sucking out of the lemon barrel, you'll drink deep of the hearty grog of empowerment." "What does that mean?" "Mainly climbing." "Except for Wednesday night when we project a movie on the sails." "But, really, a lot of climbing." "(Gilbert and Sullivan's "We Sail the Ocean Blue" playing)" "Sheepshank, bowline, clove hitch... (Homer sucking)" "Dad, look, I did a round turn with two half hitches." "You lie!" "(gasps)" "Wait a minute." "Windswept hair, rugged tan, rough, calloused hands." "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

"Over, under, over, under, over, under, under, under, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, under, over, half hitch." "Well, the standard form is under, over, under, over, under, under, under, under, under, over, over, under, under, under, under, around, over, over, under..." "Fathers, sons, together we've made a lot of progress on this voyage." "I learned that left is called "port."" "I finally got over my sea sickness." "(retches)" "Terrific, Homer." "Just terrific." "But one sailor has truly taken to nautical life." "I hereby award Bart Simpson the post of midshipman." "(spits)" "Wow." "So now I can give orders?" "That's right, Mr. Midshipman." "Wait a minute." "I'm his father." "He can't order me around." "He's your superior officer, so he can and will order you around." "And what if I refuse?" "Oh...!" "I'm sorry we had to discipline you." "On the positive side, you won't miss out on the father/son hornpipe dance." "(playing accordion)" "Oh, I hate the Golden Age of Sail." "(whistles)" "Officer on deck!" "Seaman Homer, you're supposed to be swabbing the deck." "Why should I?" "It's just gonna get dirty again." "I'm in charge." "You do what I say." "Fine." "I'll swab whatever you say." "Look!" "I'm swabbing the deck." "I'm swabbing this giant tree that the sail grows out of." "Ooh!" "I'm swabbing the top of the ocean." "Ooh!" "Swab, swab, swab..." "Hey!" "What the...?" "Fantasy football has turned every man in this town into a trash-talking monster." "Oh, face it-- all men live in a sad world of profanity, boob jokes and tired comedy references." "Más cowbell!" "(laughter)" "There's only one thing that will shut these guys up." "You got to beat one of them at fantasy football." "(dramatic, epic sports theme music playing)" "Then that's what I'm gonna do." "NARRATOR:" "Game day." "As an icy mist rose from a package of defrosting hamburger meat, desktop gladiator Marge Simpson prepared to lead her husband's team against undefeated trash-talker Moe Szyslak." "Mom did everything:" "she checked injury lists, scouting reports, she even studied the tapes." "The tapes of The Real Housewives of Tampa Bay, where she watched star running back Lakwando Demarius get kicked out of his house after buying his wife the wrong color convertible." "That doesn't match my phone!" "Lakwando's mind won't be on the game." "And... benched." "And now to make my big move." "Homer's team e-mailed asking to start five kickers." "I was like, "Okay, it's, uh, your funeral."" "There would be no funeral." "High winds, unlocked by the savage power of climate change, allowed Marge's five kickers to launch a long-range campaign of three-point annihilation." "An 85-yard field goal?" "You got to be kidding me!" "Refresh, refresh." "But no amount of refreshing could alter the facts:" "Despite a breathtaking ignorance and a powerful dislike of the sport, a rookie housewife had defeated a savvy veteran, proving conclusively that fantasy football is basically just luck." "Ahoy, Midshipman." "I hope your voyage on The Relation Ship is proving interpersonally fruitful." "I don't know." "It's really hard when someone doesn't respect your authority." "Epiphany ho." "And I'm sure your father has been doing some growing and learning of his own." "♪ I found some booze in another dad's bag ♪" "♪ Drunk, drunk ♪" "♪ Drunk on a boat ♪" "Yi-yo-yu!" "(grunts) You don't need booze, Homer." "I went to sea because I'm a recovering alcoholic." "But out here on the waves, I no longer crave the sweet, warm, soothing flavors of yummy, yummy rummy." "(gulping)" "I love this boat!" "With all its pullies and flappies and..." "Everything has a name." "You know what, Homer?" "I've always wanted to eat a parrot." "What's the big deal?" "It's just like a green chicken!" "Yeah..." "NARRATOR:" "But fortune did not favor The Relation Ship, as the same winds that lofted Marge's fantasy field goals to victory now sent gales of doom toward this vessel of questionable therapeutic value." "(thunder rumbling)" "White lightnin' squall!" "Why is the captain just juggling?" "Okay, o-okay." "I can do this." "I can do this." "Someone count me in!" "I said count me in!" "Don't worry, I'll radio the Coast Guard for help." "The therapy bears!" "Look out for the therapy bears!" "Oh...!" "I'm a-comin', bears!" "Don't stand there gawking like a dang fool!" "Do somethin', boy!" "You criticized me!" "That's all I ever wanted, Daddy, honest parenting." "CLETUS:" "Aw..." "Now I'm the ship's highest-ranking officer." "It's up to me to get us to shore." "Dad, we can make it to harbor if we can just sail around that lighthouse." "Are you crazy?" "We'll never make it!" "Drop the anchor and wait out the storm!" "No, we need to sail." "I'm dropping the anchor!" "Can't you just do what I say?" "You've never done what I say-- ever!" "(booming, crashing)" "(gasps)" "(gulps, groans)" "(gasps)" "Now can we please respect each other?" "(booming, crashing)" "Yes, son." "We can." "Awaiting your orders, Mr. Midshipman!" "Put up the storm jib and haul in the main sheet!" "Aye aye, sir." "Another success story for The Relation Ship." "(glugging)" "(humming happily)" "(humming happily)" "So, did your sailing adventure help you work out your issues?" "Does this answer your question?" "(sailor's hornpipe music plays)" "Yar!" "Quite a hornpipe Thar be." "But, uh, surely you would never have gone on a sea adventure without your old friend, the Sea Captain." "Yar." "That's gonna hurt for a long time." "Yar."
