The Bionic Boy Pt. 1
Tic Tock Simpson starts
Lisa: Skinny Palmer? Marbles Le Marquez? What are you doing here at my house?
Marbles Le Marquez: You’re looking slick, Downbeat.
Lisa: Ugh, can we rethink my jazz name? I really think I’m more fitting of a name like—
Skinny Palmer: Nope. Jazz names don’t change. You’re Downbeat for life.
Lisa: *sigh* Okay…Downbeat it is.
Marbles Le Marquez: Cheer up, Downbeat. Is Tic Tock around?
Lisa: Bart! Your jazz friends want you to come out and play!
Bart: What’s up, Daddy-Os?
Skinny Palmer: Tic Tock, the Skinny Palmer Trio is at a crossroads. We’ve never drawn crowds like when we had Tic Tock Simpson tappin’ the rat-a-tats and the clickety-clacks.
Marbles Le Marquez: Don’t forget the skibbity-scats.
Skinny Palmer: You see? We’re off our game. I even forgot the skibbity-scats. Though more specifically we are out of what I like to call jazz fuel.
Bart: Mary Jane?
Skinny Palmer: No, money!
Marbles Le Marquez: I’m picking up shifts disinfecting shoes at the Bowlarama, and let me tell you that place is a jazz funeral — but less fun.
Bart: Hmm, it’s gonna be tough to fit you guys into my schedule, but being famous was pretty awesome…
Skinny Palmer: Please, Bart.
Bart: Okay, I’ll rejoin the band. On one condition, I get to decide where we go to lunch.
Marbles Le Marquez: You only ever want Krusty Burger…and I’m a vegetarian.
Bart: I keep telling you, fries are a food group.
Make Tic Tock Simpson Sign Autographs for the Ladies- 4hrs
Tic Tock Simpson: So, I know how Lisa and I got our jazz names, but what about you guys?
Skinny Palmer: Oh, me? They call me “Skinny” because my metabolism is faster than “Jeep’s Blues” played double-time on the jump.
Tic Tock Simpson: Alright, I’m gonna assume that’s fast because I don’t want to look it up. What about you, Marbles?
Marbles Le Marquez: I would prefer not to say.
Skinny Palmer: He accidentally thought a marble was a grape and the rest is history.
Marbles Le Marquez: That’s why my teeth look like this.
The Bionic Boy Pt. 2
Tic Tock Simpson starts
Tic Tock Simpson: Ugh, guys I’m trying, but ever since I got carpal tunnel playing “Conflict of Enemies”, I haven’t been able to drum the same.
Skinny Palmer: Oh, you’ll be fine — carpal tunnel is no big deal.
Tic Tock Simpson: I played for sixty-three hours straight. Now my arm is blue and stiff enough to crack walnuts. *cracks a walnut*
Marbles Le Marquez: Well what about surgery? How much would it cost to fix it?
Tic Tock Simpson: They don’t take insurance for videogame-related injuries, so the surgery’s $78,000.
Marbles Le Marquez: I guess we’ll just have to do a benefit concert.
Skinny Palmer: A benefit concert?! Outta sight!
Marbles Le Marquez: *down low* In the pocket!
Tic Tock Simpson: No! Guys, stop. Enough with the benefit concerts. We already did that, remember? And I gave all the money to Lisa.
Marbles Le Marquez: So what do we do?
Tic Tock Simpson: It sounds too easy, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to just ask her…
Make Tic Tock Simpson Ask Lisa for the Money- 1hr
Lisa: Bart, there is no more money. The bridge has been repaired and I spent the extra on making it do that thing where it lifts up to let boats pass.
Tic Tock Simpson: Whoa, I love when bridges do that! I never thought you’d actually use the money to save the bridge. I thought you were going to just put it toward your college fund.
Lisa: $50,000 tuition to go to college online? No thanks.
The Bionic Boy Pt. 3
Tic Tock Simpson starts
Tic Tock Simpson: Sorry, guys. I talked to Downbeat, but she already spent the money.
Skinny Palmer: Man, that girl is always bringin’ us down. But it’s okay, because look at this ad I just discovered in the newspaper.
Tic Tock Simpson: Bionic prosthetics?
Marbles Le Marquez: And they’re free as long as you agree to take part in their medical study and sign a two hundred and sixteen page waiver of liability!
Skinny Palmer: Tic Tock, you’ll get your arm back and you’ll end up being an even better drummer.
Tic Tock Simpson: Never before have I loved a plan as much as this one! Well, besides the time we tricked Milhouse into putting his finger in that pencil sharpener.
Milhouse: And I didn’t even get to get a cool bionic finger out of it.
Make Tic Tock Simpson Get a Bionic Arm- 6hrs
Dr Hibbert: And Bart, that’s where we’ll make a deep incision and attach the bionic arm to the nerve cluster.
Tic Tock Simpson: Cool! Can I get a laser on it? Or an attachment that shoots out ninja stars?!
Dr Hibbert: *chuckles* All in due time, Bart. I just need a signature on this form from one of your parents.
Homer: Okay, signed.
Tic Tock Simpson: Where’d you come from?
Homer: Oh, I was just stopping by. Artery got clogged again so they did one of those routine open-heart oil changes on me.
Dr Hibbert: None of that was routine.
Homer: Well, good luck with the robo-arm. I’m off to get my routine bucket of chicken and barrel of beer.
The Bionic Boy Pt. 4
Tic Tock Simpson starts
Tic Tock Simpson: This new bionic arm is awesome! A little hard to control though.
Skinny Palmer: Yeah, you ripped out my car door and nearly killed my cat when you petted him.
Tic Tock Simpson: Let’s see how this Terminator arm does on the hi-hat.
Marbles Le Marquez: Real quick though, could you open this jar of pickles for me? These lil’ baby dills been callin’ my name, but the jar just won’t give.
Tic Tock Simpson: *jar shatters* You must have loosened it.
Make Tic Tock Simpson Do Some Bionic Drumming- 1hr
Skinny Palmer: Whoa, Tic Tock. You’re rocking those drums harder than that verbally abused kid in “Whiplash”!
Marbles Le Marquez: With that bionic arm going, I think I feel a jazz name change comin’. How does “Iron Jam” sound?
Tic Tock Simpson: I have no control over the arm! Help! It won’t stop! *drum smashes*
Skinny Palmer: Run! That arm thinks everything’s a drum!
The Bionic Boy Pt. 5
Tic Tock Simpson starts
Tic Tock Simpson: Doc, you gotta get this thing off me. It’s got a mind of its own!
Dr Hibbert: *chuckles* Oh, I should hope so. It sure wouldn’t be very useful in our study on bionic artificial intelligence if it didn’t. You did read the paperwork?
Tic Tock Simpson: Ahhhh! My hand keeps trying to steal your syringe off you and kill me with it!
Dr Hibbert: *scribbling notes* Wants to kill patient…knows what a syringe is…fascinating stuff.
Make Tic Tock Simpson Un-Get a Bionic Arm- 6hrs
Marbles Le Marquez: Well, some things just don’t work out. But I think we’ve learned a good lesson here.
Skinny Palmer: I don’t think I’ve learned anything.
Marbles Le Marquez: Always keep yourself at arm’s length from a bionic arm.
Skinny Palmer: Physically and figuratively.
Marbles Le Marquez: Right on.
Skinny Palmer: Indubitably.
Marbles Le Marquez: In the pocket.
Skinny Palmer: Boogie Woogie.
Marbles Le Marquez: You really need to have the last word don’t ya?
Skinny Palmer: Ab-so-lute-ly!
