"I love the way I've heard of you!" "So Bart, as you can see, from what I just said, everyone is a winner here." "A shirt from that rap concert." "Bart must've gone to the show." "But that means..." "Bart was never kidnapped!" "Lisa, I'm very glad you brought me this." "I'll see that it gets to the proper authorities." "Dad!" "?" "Why did you do that?" "Hollywood producers have paid me a fortune, which I've already lost, for the rights to Bart's story." "So I have to destroy anything that proves that story's not true." "Why did you burn up your shirt?" "What shirt?" "I don't see any shirt." "Burn, truth, burn." "Burn, truth, burn." "So you see, Principal Skinner, that's why I had to come to you." "Wait, why did your father burn his pants?" "It doesn't matter." "The point is, only with your help can I expose Bart's lies." "A chance to bring down Bart Simpson?" "Our school's second most-wanted criminal after the mysterious El Barto?" "Sign me up!" "Boys, let me tell ya." "Now that I'm commissioner, the shaves are hotter, the steaks are thicker and I've got my own private bathroom, so Lou here won't be using my sonic toothbrush on his rotten choppers" "Uh, listen, Commissioner." "Lisa Simpson came by the office today, asking questions about her brother's kidnapping." "Questions?" "Yes, as if she were trying to unravel a tapestry of deceit." "All right, people, we got a situation here." "Your daughter's gonna blow our whole deal sky high" "You leave Maggie to me." "No, Lisa." "Not her!" "She'll hunt us down relentlessly like a bloodhound mixed with a student loan officer." "Hey, I't leave this place!" "I get three square meals a day and trailer time with Springfield's craziest chicks." "Hey, I got the most to lose here." "I just printed up 10,000 business cards." "How am I going to pass all these out before she catches me?" "Give me a call sometime!" "Give me a call sometime!" "Here comes the panic!" "People, please." "The only way Lisa can bust me is if she finds someone who can prove I was at that rap show." "And I know just where she can find that someone." "Let's go cover our asses!" "Wait, before we go," "I took the liberty of making these embroidered conspiracy jackets for all of us." "Those jackets are beautiful." "We must never wear them." "Mr. Alcatraaaz, my name is Lisa Simpson and this is Principal Skinner." "Hi." "Would you mind showing us video footage of your last concert?" "No problem." "I've got a 200-inch plasma TV." "In my shoe closet." "I'm sharing a laugh with my new friends." "Homer is a fat load" "Homer is a fat load" "This proves Bart lied about being kidnapped." "Not yet." "Can we verify exactly what time Bart was at the show?" "If only we had the exact date." "Bingo!" "Thank you, Mr. Alcatraaaz." "Ain't nothin'." ""It is nothing."" "It's idiomatic, biatch." "All right, hand over the tape and nobody gets hurt." "This is hopeless." "My gun isn't even loaded." "Nuts!" "They're gonna release that tape and our hoax will be exposed." "I guess I'll go back to Baltimore and sell ribbon with my Daddy." "Ribbon!" "Get your ribbon!" "Great for presents!" "Why do we have to come clean?" "Nobody's been hurt." "Everyone's happier with the lie." "The lie is love." "Wait just a minute." "Love the Lie!" "The way I was raised, by Mom," "I learned the truth can't be swept under the rug." "That's a very noble sentiment, Lisa." "But for once in your life, can't you just be cool?" "Yeah, be cool." "Like us." "Coolee, coolee cool!" "C'mon, fool!" "Be coolee, coolee cool!" "Yo, put away your Glocks, man." "Yes, share with us the wisdom of the street, oh, mighty Alcatraaaz." "There are times in life when the truth ain't black nor white, but a subtler shade of gray, yo." "And when the path of justice is obscured by the fog of uncertainty, there is only one solution." "House party!" "I don't understand." "After all the corruption and deceit we've witnessed, how can everyone just party?" "Lisa, the world is a very complicated place" "When you get right down to it... cannonball!" "Do you think there's a place in the hip-hop world for a... 40-something elementary school administrator?" "Hell yes." "But I'm already payin' a guy for that." "Skinner!" "I order you to step off," "Dog!" "I think they're making fun of me, but my wife is very sick."
