Milhouse: Hey Bart, let’s go to my house. A bunch of my relatives are in town for my birthday party this weekend.
Bart: That sounds great! But you know what sounds even greater? We go to MY house and finish planning my latest Skinner prank.
Milhouse: But Bart, my pretty cousin Annika is back in town. *wink*
Bart: As tempting as that sounds to my pre-tween hormones — whatever they are — you’re forgetting the banana pecking order. Of which you are most certainly second.
Milhouse: Oh, okay. You know I’m a sucker for fruit prioritization.

Birthday Party for One Pt. 1

Milhouse: Hey, Bart. This prank looks like an ordinary crowbar.
Bart: It is an ordinary crowbar, doofus. The prank is in this crate I found behind Professor Frink’s lab marked “W.M.H.”
Milhouse: What’s W.M.H.?
Bart: Weapons of Mass Humiliation. At least I hope that’s what it means. Anyway, give me that crowbar.
Milhouse: You’re not gonna hit me with it, are you?
Bart: No, I’m going to open the crate!
Milhouse: *hands over crowbar*
Bart: Then I’m gonna hit you with it.

Skinner: Alright, children, march into your classrooms. Single file, Indi——uh, indi-genous-people-don’t-find-the-comparison-insensitive style.
Bart: Hey Skinner, look over here.
Skinner: What is that, Simpson? A contraption? A gadget? Or some sort of gizmo?
Bart: Just a little extracurricular science experiment.
Skinner: It better not be for the science fair. I cut that out of the budget last year—AAGGHHH!

Kearney: Magnifique!
Nelson: Haw haw… HAW!
Milhouse: Three haws? Now’s my chance to take advantage of an unprecedented era of good feelings. Attention please! Come one, come all to a birthday extravaganza. All are welcome!

Bart: Happy Birthday, Milhouse!
Milhouse: Thanks, Bart. Great party, huh?
Bart: Not really. All I see are Van Houtens. It’s like a sea of blue hair and big noses.
Milhouse: Well, it makes the face painter’s job easy.
Bart: But where are all the kids?
Milhouse: They should be here soon. They’re probably all on twenty-four hour jobs.

Bart: I, for one, am having a great time at your party, but I wish there were other kids here.

Bart: Maybe if your Dad stopped asking him to just make balloon animal pangolins.
Kirk: He’s a practitioner of the elastic arts! Don’t take the gig if you won’t twist the rig!
Bart: So, I don’t think anyone else is coming to the party.
Milhouse: No, you’re probably right.

Birthday Party for One Pt. 4

Bart: It may be the sugar shock, but I think I see the face of an angel.
Milhouse: Close. It’s my cousin Annika.
Annika: Pathetic American slobs. No wonder your national pastime is diabetes.
Bart: Would you like to share a cupcake?

Milhouse: She’s probably the coolest Van Houten in history.
Bart: Catch up, boy, we’re way past that. Her kind of cool can’t be contained. Anyone in close proximity to her would start to exude cool.
Milhouse: They would, wouldn’t they…?

Birthday Party for One Pt. 5
Auto starts

Milhouse: Please, Annika. Pleeeaaaaaasssseeee!
Annika: No, Milhouse. I will not pretend to be your girlfriend. You know we’re related, right?
Milhouse: We’re not any closer than my parents. Or yours.
Annika: But you’re a fourth grader and I’m an older teenager of an indiscriminate age.
Milhouse: Exactly. Besides, it would really cut down on my swirly per diem.
Annika: Wait, do you get bullied in school?
Milhouse: I wouldn’t say bullied. My friends act violently to express their affection. For hurting me.
Annika: *sigh* Fine. I will go along with your ruse. Pretending to be something I’m not should make me fit right in here in America.
