Strike Out Pt. 1
Burnsum starts
Burnsum: I’m not made of money! Strongman, you’re only allowed one serving of gruel per performance.
Homer: This place is the worst! I started with mush, now gruel. What’s next, a thin broth? How can I maintain body mass on gruel?
The Human Donkey: Burnsum even took away my fluffy bed straw. I sleep on a bed of gravel now!
Marguerite: And my trapeze ropes were replaced with tree vines!
Homer: That does it. I’m calling a strike.
The Human Donkey: Here. Everyone carry a strike sign!
Homer: Ugh. I can’t lift a sign right now. Need more gruel.

Homer: Hey, Burnsum, we’re going on strike. Either improve the workplace conditions or we walk.
Burnsum: You dare threaten me? I could replace you just like that! *snaps his fingers* Oopsie. My snapping fingers fell off. That’s it, you’re all fired!
Marguerite: Where are you going to find replacements for us? Not just anyone can do the trapeze.
The Human Donkey: And you definitely won’t find another half-man half-donkey.
Comic Book Ram: Don’t be too sure about that.
The Human Donkey: You’re not half-donkey. You’re half ram!
Burnsum: You both have hooves. No one will know the difference. Besides, Springfield is full of freaks so I’ll be back up and running before nightfall.

The Human Donkey: It’s “hee-haw” and we’re not losers.
CBG: *dismounts trapeze* Taa-daa!
Marguerite: Dismounts should not tear down the entire big top. Let me show you how it’s done. *performs the trapeze*
Burnsum: Good. You’ve all decided to end your little strike.
Homer: No way, Burnsum, we’re just showing these replacements how to properly freak.
Marguerite: We are not coming back unless you meet our demands.
Homer: Put mush back on the menu!
Burnsum: Deal! One serving of mush per freak. Now, get dressed, we’re going on at eight o’clock.
Homer: We sure showed him.
Marguerite: *sigh* I wish you were as strong in negotiations as you are in other areas, my love.
Homer: What’s a “negotiation”? Is that the muscle in the back of the legs? Forget that. It’s all about the arms and pecs!
