ACT ONE
Leonard Nimoy is sitting behind a desk in a darkened room.
NIMOY
Hello, I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer . . . is no. Our story begins on a Friday morning, in a little town called Springfield . . .
He opens a book which has a picture of Homer in it. The drawing dissolves to Homer at the plant.
HOMER
T.G.I.F.! Guys, I'm off to Moe's.
LENNY
But Homer, it's ten in the morning!
HOMER
Don't worry, I have a plan. I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping its SPEED over fifty. And if its SPEED dropped, it would explode. I think it was called... "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down." First, I hook this common VCR into the security camera system like so, then I insert this old videotape of us working on a continuous loop. (The tape from the 1970's has Homer eating donuts in a "Sit On It" T-shirt, and talking to Lenny. Then, the tape abruptly cuts to Lenny doing a Saturday Night Fever style move - flares and all)
Pan out to Burns office, where he and Smithers watch the tape on the monitor.
BURNS
So, another Friday is upon us. What will you be doing Smithers? Something gay no doubt?
SMITHERS
What? What?
BURNS
You know: light-hearted, fancy-free, mothers lock up your daughters! Smithers is on the town! (chuckles)
