Title: “The Noisome Neighbor”
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HANK, PEGGY, and BOBBY sitting on the couch, watching TV. The sound of loud, obnoxious music suddenly blares through the walls, causing the family to jump.
HANK: (shouting over the noise) What in the name of propane is that racket?
PEGGY: (covering her ears) It sounds like a herd of elephants playing electric guitars!
BOBBY: (excitedly) Cool! Maybe it’s a rock band!
Hank gets up, visibly annoyed, and heads to the window to investigate.
EXT. HILL BACKYARD - CONTINUOUS
Hank peers over the fence to see their new neighbor, CHAD, a free-spirited, eccentric musician, setting up a massive speaker system in his backyard.
HANK: (yelling) Hey, Chad! Could you turn it down a notch? We’re trying to watch “Arlen’s Most Interesting Lawnmowers”!
CHAD: (grinning) Sorry, Hank! I’m just testing out my new sound system for my one-man band, “Chad and the Chadettes”!
Chad strikes a dramatic pose, holding an air guitar, as the music blares even louder.
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Hank returns to the couch, shaking his head.
HANK: (sighing) I swear, that guy’s got more speakers than sense.
PEGGY: (nodding) We need to do something before Bobby starts thinking he’s the next Jimi Hendrix.
BOBBY: (already air-guitaring) Too late!
The doorbell rings. Hank opens it to reveal DALE, BILL, and BOOMHAUER, all wearing earplugs.
DALE: (muffled) Hank, we can’t hear ourselves think over here! It’s like living next to a rock concert!
BOOMHAUER: (fast-talking) Man, I tell you what, dang ol’ noise pollution, man, can’t even hear my own dang ol’ thoughts, man.
BILL: (nodding) I thought I was going deaf, but it turns out it’s just Chad.
Hank, determined, rallies the group.
HANK: Alright, fellas. It’s time to show Chad that Arlen isn’t ready for Woodstock 2.0. Let’s go have a word with him.
EXT. CHAD’S BACKYARD - MOMENTS LATER
The group approaches Chad, who is now wearing a flashy sequined jacket and practicing his dance moves.
HANK: (firmly) Chad, we appreciate your enthusiasm, but the whole neighborhood doesn’t need to hear your audition for “America’s Got Talent.”
CHAD: (laughing) Come on, guys! Music is meant to be shared!
DALE: (deadpan) So are ear infections, but we don’t go around spreading those.
Chad considers this, then turns down the volume slightly.
CHAD: Alright, alright. I’ll keep it down. But you guys should come to my show next week! It’s gonna be epic!
The group exchanges skeptical glances.
BILL: (whispering to Hank) Do you think he takes requests?
HANK: (smirking) Only if it’s for silence.
The group chuckles as they head back to Hank’s house, the music now a distant hum.
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - LATER
The family settles back on the couch, enjoying the peace and quiet.
PEGGY: (content) Ah, the sweet sound of silence.
BOBBY: (disappointed) I was just getting into it.
HANK: (smiling) Don’t worry, Bobby. There’s plenty of time for rock and roll… just not during “Arlen’s Most Interesting Lawnmowers.”
The family laughs as the camera zooms out, capturing the serene suburban scene.
FADE OUT.

Title: The One with the Giant Marshmallow
INT. CENTRAL PERK - DAY
The gang is gathered at their usual spot. ROSS is reading a book about dinosaurs, CHANDLER is sipping coffee, JOEY is trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube, MONICA is organizing sugar packets, PHOEBE is tuning her guitar, and RACHEL is behind the counter.
JOEY: (frustrated) I just don’t get it! How do you solve this thing?
CHANDLER: (sarcastically) Have you tried using your brain?
JOEY: (seriously) I did, but it didn’t fit in the cube.
ROSS looks up from his book, intrigued.
ROSS: You know, the Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by a Hungarian architect named Ernő Rubik.
PHOEBE: (excitedly) Oh! I once dated a guy named Ernő. He was a magician! Or maybe he just disappeared… I can’t remember.
RACHEL approaches the group with a tray of coffee.
RACHEL: Guys, you won’t believe what just happened. A giant marshmallow rolled down the street and crashed into the coffee shop!
MONICA: (concerned) Is everyone okay?
RACHEL: Yeah, but now there’s a marshmallow the size of a car blocking the entrance.
CHANDLER: (deadpan) Well, that’s one way to keep the customers stuck inside.
The gang rushes to the window to see the marshmallow.
JOEY: (excited) It’s like a dream come true! A marshmallow that big could make the world’s largest s’more!
PHOEBE: (singing) ♪ Giant marshmallow, rolling down the street, squishy and sweet, can’t be beat! ♪
ROSS, ever the scientist, is examining the marshmallow closely.
ROSS: This is fascinating. The molecular structure must be incredibly unique to maintain such a size without collapsing.
MONICA: (practical) We need to get rid of it. It’s blocking the entrance and people can’t get in or out.
CHANDLER: (smirking) Maybe we can just eat our way out. Joey, you start.
JOEY eagerly takes a bite of the marshmallow.
JOEY: (mouth full) It’s delicious! But it’s gonna take a while.
PHOEBE: (bright idea) I know! We can use it as a stage for a marshmallow concert!
RACHEL: (laughing) A marshmallow concert? What would that even look like?
PHOEBE: (seriously) Well, I’d play my guitar, and the marshmallow would be my backup singer. It’d be a sweet gig!
The gang laughs, and the scene ends with them brainstorming ridiculous ideas to deal with the marshmallow.
FADE OUT.

Title: “The Litmus Test of Love”
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with Homer lounging on the couch, surrounded by empty donut boxes. Marge enters, holding a small science kit.
MARGE: (excitedly) Homer, look what I got for Lisa’s science project! It’s a litmus test kit!
HOMER: (confused) A what-now test? Is it like a taste test? Because I’m always up for those!
MARGE: (patiently) No, Homer. A litmus test is used to determine if something is acidic or basic.
HOMER: (grinning) Oh, like when I eat too many chili dogs and my stomach feels like it’s hosting a fireworks show?
MARGE: (sighs) Sort of, but more scientific.
LISA enters, holding a clipboard.
LISA: (enthusiastically) Mom, Dad, I’m going to use the litmus test to see if our tap water is safe to drink!
HOMER: (alarmed) Wait, you mean we’ve been drinking unsafe water all this time? I thought the funny taste was just Springfield’s charm!
LISA: (rolling her eyes) No, Dad. It’s just a precaution.
BART enters, holding a suspicious-looking bottle.
BART: Hey, Lisa, can I use your litmus test to see if this mystery soda I made is drinkable?
LISA: (skeptical) What’s in it, Bart?
BART: (proudly) A little of this, a little of that, and a whole lot of “don’t ask.”
LISA: (sighs) Fine, but don’t blame me if you turn into a mutant.
BART: (grinning) Cool! I’ve always wanted a third arm!
CUT TO: KITCHEN TABLE - LATER
Lisa is setting up the litmus test. Homer, Marge, and Bart watch eagerly.
LISA: (explaining) Okay, if the paper turns red, it’s acidic. If it turns blue, it’s basic.
HOMER: (whispering to Marge) I hope it turns donut-colored.
Lisa dips the litmus paper into the tap water. It turns a neutral green.
LISA: (relieved) Looks like our water is safe!
HOMER: (cheering) Woohoo! No more bottled water for us!
Bart dips another strip into his mystery soda. The paper turns a violent shade of purple, then bursts into flames.
BART: (impressed) Awesome! It’s like a science experiment and a fireworks show!
MARGE: (concerned) Bart, what did you put in that soda?
BART: (shrugging) Just some stuff I found under the sink.
HOMER: (proudly) That’s my boy! Always thinking outside the box… and under the sink.
LISA: (facepalming) I’m going to need more litmus paper.
BART: (grinning) And I’m going to need more soda bottles!
The family laughs as the camera pulls back, showing the chaos of the kitchen.
FADE OUT.
END OF SCENE.

Title: “The Great Arlen Cheese Roll”
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
Hank Hill is sitting on the couch, polishing his beloved propane grill manual. Peggy Hill enters, holding a flyer with excitement.
PEGGY: Hank, have you heard about the Arlen Cheese Roll?
HANK: (confused) Cheese roll? Peggy, I don’t think cheese should be rolling anywhere.
PEGGY: (enthusiastic) It’s a new event in town! People chase a giant wheel of cheese down the hill. The winner gets a lifetime supply of… cheese!
HANK: (skeptical) Peggy, I sell propane and propane accessories, not cheese accessories.
BOBBY: (bursting in) Did someone say cheese? I’m in!
INT. ARLEN HILL - DAY
The townsfolk gather at the top of a steep hill. A giant wheel of cheese, glistening in the sun, stands ready. Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer are there, wearing mismatched athletic gear.
DALE: (whispering) I heard this cheese is government-issued. It’s a conspiracy to make us all lactose intolerant!
BOOMHAUER: (fast-talking) Man, I tell you what, that dang ol’ cheese, man, it’s gonna roll, man, like a dang ol’ tumbleweed, man.
BILL: (nervous) I just hope I don’t roll faster than the cheese.
HANK: (to Peggy) I still don’t understand why we’re doing this.
PEGGY: (smiling) It’s about community, Hank. And cheese.
The MAYOR steps up with a megaphone.
MAYOR: On your marks, get set… cheese!
The cheese is released, and chaos ensues. People tumble, roll, and slide down the hill in pursuit of the cheese. Bobby is surprisingly agile, dodging and weaving through the crowd.
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - EVENING
Hank, Peggy, and Bobby are back home, covered in grass stains and bits of cheese.
HANK: (sighing) Well, that was something.
BOBBY: (proudly) I got a piece of the cheese, Dad! It’s like winning a trophy, but tastier.
PEGGY: (laughing) See, Hank? It was fun. And we all got a little exercise.
HANK: (smiling) I guess you’re right, Peggy. But next time, let’s stick to propane. It’s less… cheesy.
They all laugh as the camera pans out, showing the cheese wheel resting on the coffee table, a symbol of their unexpected adventure.
FADE OUT.

Title: “Jeopardy in Arlen”
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HANK, PEGGY, BOBBY, and LUANNE sitting in the living room. The TV is on, and the “Jeopardy!” theme song plays. PEGGY is particularly excited, bouncing slightly in her seat.
PEGGY: (clapping) Oh, I just love “Jeopardy!” It’s the only show where I can truly shine!
HANK: (smirking) Peggy, you do know you’re not actually on the show, right?
PEGGY: (confidently) Not yet, Hank. But one day, Alex Trebek will call my name!
BOBBY is munching on a bag of chips, looking intrigued.
BOBBY: Mom, what would your “Jeopardy!” category be?
PEGGY: (without hesitation) “Peggy Hill’s World of Words.” I am, after all, a substitute Spanish teacher.
LUANNE: (cheerfully) I’d pick “Hair Care and Hairspray.” I know all about that!
The TV host announces the categories, and one of them is “Propane and Propane Accessories.” HANK’s eyes light up.
HANK: (excitedly) Now, that’s a category I can get behind!
PEGGY: (teasing) Hank, you can’t answer the questions from the couch.
HANK: (determined) Watch me.
The first question in the category appears: “This is the primary component of propane.” HANK jumps up, pointing at the TV.
HANK: (shouting) What is butane?!
PEGGY, BOBBY, and LUANNE look at him, confused.
PEGGY: (correcting) Hank, it’s “What is propane?”
HANK: (embarrassed) Oh, right. I got too excited.
BOBBY chuckles, and PEGGY pats HANK on the back.
BOBBY: (grinning) Dad, maybe you should stick to grilling.
The next question appears: “This accessory helps control the flow of propane.” HANK is ready to redeem himself.
HANK: (confidently) What is a regulator?
PEGGY nods approvingly, and HANK beams with pride.
LUANNE: (innocently) I thought it was a hose.
Everyone laughs, and the scene ends with PEGGY giving HANK a playful nudge.
PEGGY: (smiling) See, Hank? You’d be great on “Jeopardy!” too.
HANK: (grinning) As long as it’s about propane, Peggy. As long as it’s about propane.
The camera zooms out as the family continues to watch the show, and the “Jeopardy!” theme plays softly in the background.
FADE OUT.

Title: “Jeopardize This!”
INT. SIMPSONS LIVING ROOM - DAY
The camera pans over the Simpson family sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the TV. The familiar theme of “Jeopardy!” plays in the background.
ALEX TREBEK (ON TV): Welcome back to Jeopardy! Our categories are: “Famous Inventors,” “World Capitals,” “Potent Potables,” and “Things Homer Should Know.”
HOMER: (leaning forward) Ooh, I love this show! I always get the answers right… when I’m not playing.
BART: (smirking) Yeah, Dad, you’re a real genius when it comes to yelling at the TV.
LISA: (rolling her eyes) Maybe you should try out for the show, Dad. You could win big!
HOMER: (thoughtful) Hmm, I do like winning… and big.
The camera cuts to a fantasy sequence: Homer on the “Jeopardy!” stage, wearing a tuxedo two sizes too small.
ALEX TREBEK (IN FANTASY): And for our final question, Homer, the category is “Things Homer Should Know.” The answer is: “This is the name of your wife.”
HOMER (IN FANTASY): (sweating) Uh… uh… who is… Marge?
The fantasy sequence ends abruptly as Homer snaps back to reality.
MARGE: (walking in with a laundry basket) Homer, are you daydreaming about being on “Jeopardy!” again?
HOMER: (sheepishly) Maybe… but this time I got your name right!
MARGE: (smiling) Well, that’s a start.
Suddenly, the phone rings. Homer picks it up.
HOMER: (excitedly) Hello? Yes, this is Homer Simpson… Uh-huh… Really? I’m going to be on “Jeopardy!”? Woo-hoo!
The family cheers, except for Bart, who looks skeptical.
BART: (whispering to Lisa) I give him five minutes before he says something embarrassing.
LISA: (nodding) You’re being generous.
INT. JEOPARDY! STUDIO - DAY
Homer stands behind the podium, looking nervous but determined. The audience is filled with familiar Springfield faces.
ALEX TREBEK: And now, our returning champion, Homer Simpson!
The audience claps politely. Homer waves awkwardly.
ALEX TREBEK: Homer, your first question in “Things Homer Should Know”: This is the name of your favorite beer.
HOMER: (confidently) What is Duff?
ALEX TREBEK: Correct!
The audience erupts in cheers. Homer beams with pride.
ALEX TREBEK: Next question: This is the name of your eldest child.
HOMER: (pausing) Uh… who is… Bart?
ALEX TREBEK: Correct again!
Bart stands up in the audience, pumping his fist.
BART: That’s my dad!
ALEX TREBEK: And for the final question: This is the name of the town you live in.
HOMER: (sweating bullets) Uh… uh… what is… Springfield?
ALEX TREBEK: Correct! Homer, you’ve won!
The audience goes wild. Homer jumps up and down, knocking over his podium.
HOMER: (shouting) I did it! I really did it!
The camera cuts to the Simpson family celebrating at home, Homer holding a giant check.
MARGE: (hugging Homer) I’m so proud of you, Homie!
HOMER: (grinning) And I didn’t even have to jeopardize anything!
The family laughs as the scene fades out with the classic “Simpsons” theme playing.

Title: The One with the Jeopardized Jeopardy
INT. CENTRAL PERK - DAY
The gang is gathered around their usual couch. ROSS is holding a strange-looking device that resembles a remote control with a giant red button. CHANDLER is sipping his coffee, MONICA is organizing sugar packets, RACHEL is flipping through a magazine, JOEY is staring at the ceiling, and PHOEBE is knitting a scarf that seems to have no end.
ROSS: (excitedly) Guys, you won’t believe what I found at the museum’s gift shop! It’s a “Jeopardize” button!
CHANDLER: (sarcastically) Oh, great. Just what we needed. A button that turns us into Alex Trebek.
MONICA: (curious) What does it do, Ross?
ROSS: (proudly) Well, according to the instructions, it jeopardizes any situation you point it at.
JOEY: (confused) So, like, it makes things more dangerous?
PHOEBE: (enthusiastically) Or maybe it turns everything into a game show! I love game shows!
RACHEL: (skeptical) Ross, are you sure this isn’t just a regular remote with a fancy sticker?
ROSS: (defensive) No, no! It’s real! Watch this.
Ross points the device at the coffee machine and presses the button. The machine starts spewing coffee everywhere like a geyser.
MONICA: (panicking) Ross! My clean floors!
CHANDLER: (deadpan) Well, that certainly jeopardized our caffeine intake.
Ross quickly presses the button again, and the coffee machine stops its eruption.
ROSS: (sheepishly) Okay, maybe it needs a little fine-tuning.
PHOEBE: (excited) Let me try! I want to jeopardize something!
Phoebe grabs the device and points it at Joey, pressing the button. Suddenly, Joey starts speaking in rapid-fire trivia questions.
JOEY: (fast-paced) What is the capital of France? Who invented the lightbulb? What is the square root of 144?
RACHEL: (laughing) Joey, you’re like a walking Jeopardy board!
CHANDLER: (smirking) I always knew there was a genius trapped inside that head. Turns out, it was just trapped behind a “Jeopardize” button.
Phoebe presses the button again, and Joey returns to normal, looking bewildered.
JOEY: (dazed) Whoa, what just happened? And why do I suddenly know how to spell “antidisestablishmentarianism”?
MONICA: (grinning) This thing is amazing! Let’s see what else it can do.
Monica points the device at the sugar packets and presses the button. The packets start organizing themselves into a perfect pyramid.
CHANDLER: (impressed) Well, that’s one way to sweeten the deal.
Rachel takes the device and points it at the magazine she’s holding. She presses the button, and the magazine pages start flipping rapidly, creating a mini tornado of paper.
RACHEL: (giggling) It’s like a fashion whirlwind!
ROSS: (proudly) See? I told you it was cool!
Suddenly, the device starts beeping loudly and flashing red.
ROSS: (panicking) Uh-oh. I think we might have over-jeopardized it.
The device starts vibrating uncontrollably, and the gang scrambles to avoid it as it bounces around the coffee shop.
PHOEBE: (shouting) It’s like a game of hot potato, but with more danger!
Finally, the device lands in a cup of coffee, short-circuiting with a dramatic sizzle.
CHANDLER: (deadpan) Well, I guess that’s one way to brew up some excitement.
The gang laughs as they gather around the now-defunct device, shaking their heads at yet another day of chaos in Central Perk.
FADE OUT.

Title: “Homer’s Apology Tour”
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HOMER sitting on the couch, surrounded by a mountain of empty donut boxes. MARGE enters, arms crossed, looking unimpressed.
MARGE: (sighs) Homer, do you know what today is?
HOMER: (mouth full) Uh, National Donut Day?
MARGE: (shakes head) No, it’s the day you promised to apologize to everyone you’ve wronged this week.
HOMER: (confused) I did?
MARGE: Yes, and I made a list. (hands him a long scroll)
Homer unrolls the scroll, and it rolls across the floor, out the door, and down the street.
HOMER: (gulp) That’s a lot of apologizing.
MARGE: (sternly) You better get started.
CUT TO:
EXT. SPRINGFIELD - VARIOUS LOCATIONS - DAY
MONTAGE of Homer on his apology tour:
INT. MOE’S TAVERN
Homer approaches MOE, who is cleaning a glass.
HOMER: Moe, I’m sorry for… whatever I did.
MOE: (grumbling) You drank all my beer and replaced it with root beer.
HOMER: (sheepish) But root beer’s delicious!
Moe glares at him. Homer backs away slowly.
EXT. NED FLANDERS’ HOUSE
Homer rings the doorbell. NED answers, smiling.
HOMER: Ned, I’m sorry for borrowing your lawnmower and turning it into a margarita mixer.
NED: (cheerful) No problem, neighborino! Just return it when you’re done.
HOMER: (confused) Uh, I already did.
NED looks over at his lawn, where the lawnmower is now a frothy mess.
INT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY - PRINCIPAL SKINNER’S OFFICE
Homer sits across from PRINCIPAL SKINNER.
HOMER: Sorry for eating all the cafeteria food, Principal Skinner.
SKINNER: (exasperated) Homer, that was supposed to last the entire semester!
HOMER: (shrugging) I was hungry.
EXT. SIMPSONS’ BACKYARD
Homer approaches BART, who is sitting in a treehouse.
HOMER: Bart, I’m sorry for… wait, what did I do to you?
BART: (smirking) You ate my science project.
HOMER: (defensive) In my defense, it looked like a delicious cake.
BART: (rolling eyes) It was a volcano.
CUT TO:
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - EVENING
Homer returns home, exhausted. MARGE is waiting.
MARGE: How did it go?
HOMER: (collapsing on the couch) I think I apologized to everyone.
MARGE: (smiling) I’m proud of you, Homer.
HOMER: (grinning) Thanks, Marge. Now, can I have a donut?
MARGE: (handing him a donut) Only if you promise not to apologize for eating it.
HOMER: (taking a bite) Mmm… apology-free donut.
They both laugh as the screen fades to black, with the sound of Homer munching happily.
THE END.

INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HANK HILL sitting on the couch, reading a propane magazine. PEGGY HILL is in the kitchen, preparing a bizarre concoction that involves a blender, a pineapple, and what appears to be a shoe.
BOBBY HILL enters the room, wearing a helmet made out of a colander and holding a spatula like a scepter.
BOBBY: (excitedly) Dad, I declare myself the King of the Kitchen!
HANK: (without looking up) Bobby, you can’t be king of the kitchen. That’s where your mother rules with an iron skillet.
PEGGY: (shouting from the kitchen) And a wooden spoon, Hank!
BOBBY: But Dad, I have the royal spatula!
HANK: (sighs) Bobby, a spatula does not a king make.
Suddenly, DALE GRIBBLE bursts through the door, wearing a tinfoil hat and holding a walkie-talkie.
DALE: (frantically) Hank! The squirrels are planning a coup! They’re after the propane!
HANK: (deadpan) Dale, squirrels don’t use propane.
DALE: (whispering) That’s what they want you to think.
BOOMHAUER enters, speaking in his usual rapid-fire, barely comprehensible manner.
BOOMHAUER: (pointing at Dale) Dang ol’ man, Dale, you gotta lay off that dang ol’ conspiracy juice, man.
PEGGY: (holding up the blender) Does anyone want to try my new recipe? It’s a pineapple-shoe smoothie!
HANK: (grimacing) Peggy, I think I’ll pass. I prefer my shoes on my feet and my pineapples… not in a blender.
LUANNE enters, carrying a large cardboard box labeled “Caution: Live Snakes.”
LUANNE: Uncle Hank, can you help me with my new pet snake? I named him Mr. Slithers!
HANK: (alarmed) Luanne, why do you have a box of snakes in my living room?
LUANNE: (cheerfully) Because Mr. Slithers gets lonely!
HANK: (exasperated) This house is turning into a zoo!
BOBBY: (still wearing the colander) A royal zoo, Dad!
DALE: (nodding) With squirrel spies.
The doorbell rings. HANK gets up, opens the door, and finds BILL standing there, holding a cake that’s clearly been dropped.
BILL: (sheepishly) I brought cake. It’s a little… deconstructed.
HANK: (sighs) Bill, why is it every time you bring cake, it looks like it went through a blender?
PEGGY: (proudly) Speaking of blenders…
HANK: (interrupting) No, Peggy, no more blender talk.
The camera zooms out as everyone gathers in the living room, with Bobby still declaring himself king, Dale whispering about squirrels, and Peggy offering her smoothie to a reluctant Bill.
FADE OUT.

Title: “The One with the Baby Naming Fiasco”
INT. CENTRAL PERK - DAY
The gang is gathered at their usual spot. ROSS is pacing nervously, holding a baby name book. RACHEL is sipping her coffee, MONICA and CHANDLER are whispering to each other, and JOEY is trying to balance a muffin on his nose. PHOEBE is strumming her guitar, seemingly in her own world.
ROSS: (frantically) Okay, guys, I need your help. We have to pick a name for the baby today!
RACHEL: (calmly) Ross, the baby isn’t due for another three months.
ROSS: (panicking) But what if it comes early? We can’t just call it “Baby” forever!
JOEY: (muffin falls) Why not? I think “Baby” is a great name. It’s like, “Hey, Baby!” (winks)
MONICA: (sarcastically) Yeah, and when it grows up, it can be “Hey, Adult!”
CHANDLER: (mock serious) Or “Hey, Middle-Aged Person!”
PHOEBE: (suddenly interested) Ooh, how about “Banjo”? It’s unique and musical!
ROSS: (confused) Banjo? For a baby?
PHOEBE: (nodding) Yeah! And if they become a rock star, they can be “Banjo the Great!”
RACHEL: (laughing) I think we should stick to something a little more… traditional.
JOEY: (raising hand) Ooh, ooh! How about “Joey”? It’s a classic.
CHANDLER: (deadpan) Yes, because every child dreams of being named after a struggling actor.
JOEY: (proudly) Hey, I’m not struggling. I’m just… pacing myself.
MONICA: (to Ross) What about family names? Any good ones there?
ROSS: (thinking) Well, there’s “Mortimer.”
CHANDLER: (snickering) Mortimer? Sounds like a butler in a haunted mansion.
PHOEBE: (excited) Or a ghost! “Mortimer the Friendly Ghost!”
RACHEL: (rolling eyes) Okay, okay. How about something simple, like “Emma”?
ROSS: (considering) Emma… I like it. It’s sweet and not ghostly at all.
JOEY: (disappointed) But what about “Banjo”?
PHOEBE: (patting Joey) Don’t worry, Joey. We can save “Banjo” for your future kids.
JOEY: (brightening up) Yeah! Banjo Tribbiani. Sounds like a rock star already!
CHANDLER: (smirking) Or a really confused musician.
ROSS: (relieved) Okay, Emma it is. Thanks, guys. I feel much better now.
RACHEL: (smiling) See? Crisis averted.
PHOEBE: (strumming guitar) ♪ Emma, Emma, not a ghost or a butler ♪
JOEY: (joining in) ♪ But maybe a rock star, with a sidekick named Banjo ♪
The gang laughs as the scene fades out, with Joey and Phoebe continuing their impromptu song.

Title: “The Progeny Predicament”
INT. SIMPSONS LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with Homer sitting on the couch, surrounded by a mountain of potato chips and a half-empty can of Duff beer. The TV is blaring, but Homer’s eyes are glued to a letter in his hand.
HOMER: (reading aloud) “Congratulations! You’ve been selected to participate in the Springfield Progeny Program!”
Marge enters, carrying a laundry basket.
MARGE: Homer, what’s that letter you’re holding?
HOMER: (excitedly) Marge, it’s a chance to see what our kids will look like in the future! They take a picture of us and use some fancy computer magic to show us our future grandkids!
MARGE: (skeptical) I don’t know, Homer. That sounds like one of those things that’s going to end up with you in a treehouse, covered in bees.
HOMER: (defensive) Not this time, Marge! This is science!
Bart and Lisa enter, overhearing the conversation.
BART: (grinning) Future grandkids, huh? I bet mine will be riding skateboards and causing chaos all over Springfield!
LISA: (rolling her eyes) Or maybe they’ll be solving world hunger and winning Nobel Prizes.
HOMER: (interrupting) Enough chit-chat! Let’s get to the future!
Homer pulls out a Polaroid camera and snaps a picture of himself and Marge. The camera spits out a photo, which Homer eagerly feeds into a small, outdated computer.
COMPUTER VOICE: (robotic) Processing… processing… progeny prediction complete.
The screen flickers, and an image of a futuristic Springfield appears, with a mix of Bart and Lisa’s features on various children.
MARGE: (pointing) Look, Homer! That one has your eyes and my hair!
HOMER: (proudly) And that one’s got my appetite! Look at him devour that virtual donut!
Suddenly, the screen glitches, and the images start to morph uncontrollably, creating bizarre combinations of Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa.
BART: (laughing) Whoa, that one’s got three eyes and a unibrow!
LISA: (giggling) And that one looks like it’s part Simpson, part potato!
HOMER: (panicking) Oh no! The computer’s gone haywire!
The computer sparks and smokes, and the screen goes black. Homer looks at the family sheepishly.
HOMER: (sheepish) Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the future holds the old-fashioned way.
MARGE: (smiling) And maybe next time, we’ll leave the science to the scientists.
The family laughs together as the camera pulls back, revealing Maggie in the corner, playing with a toy computer that’s sparking in sync with Homer’s.
MAGGIE: (sucking on her pacifier, innocently)
The scene fades out with the classic “Simpsons” theme playing in the background.

Title: “Flagged for Laughter”
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HANK HILL sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine titled “Vexillology Monthly.” PEGGY HILL enters, carrying a laundry basket.
PEGGY: (curious) Hank, what on earth are you reading?
HANK: (proudly) It’s a magazine about vexillology, Peggy. The study of flags. Did you know that every flag has a story?
PEGGY: (teasing) Oh, I thought you were just looking for new ways to sell propane and propane accessories.
BOBBY HILL enters, holding a homemade flag with a poorly drawn picture of a hamburger.
BOBBY: Dad, look! I made a flag for my room. It’s the flag of Bobbyland!
HANK: (squinting) Bobby, is that a hamburger?
BOBBY: (enthusiastic) Yep! It’s the national dish of Bobbyland.
HANK: (deadpan) Well, son, I guess that makes sense. But remember, a flag should represent something meaningful.
BOBBY: (thinking) How about a propane tank?
HANK: (beaming) Now that’s a flag I can get behind!
PEGGY: (rolling her eyes) Oh, brother.
INT. ALLEY BEHIND HILL HOUSE - DAY
Hank, DALE, BILL, and BOOMHAUER are standing around, each holding a different flag.
DALE: (conspiratorial) You know, Hank, I heard the government uses flags to communicate with aliens.
HANK: (sighing) Dale, that’s not how flags work.
BOOMHAUER: (fast-talking) Man, I tell you what, dang ol’ flags, man, they got them colors and stripes, man, like NASCAR, you know?
BILL: (holding a flag with a picture of a sandwich) I made a flag for my lunch. It’s the flag of Billtopia!
HANK: (shaking his head) Bill, that’s just a napkin with mustard on it.
DALE: (holding a flag with a picture of a bug) And this is the flag of Dale’s Bug Kingdom. Long may it wave!
HANK: (exasperated) You guys are missing the point. Flags should symbolize something important.
BOOMHAUER: (nodding) Yeah, man, like ol’ Texas, man, got that lone star, man, yeehaw!
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
The family gathers around the TV, watching a documentary on flags. Bobby is still holding his hamburger flag.
TV ANNOUNCER: (voiceover) Flags have been used throughout history to unite people and inspire nations.
BOBBY: (whispering to Hank) Dad, do you think Bobbyland could inspire people?
HANK: (smiling) Well, Bobby, if a hamburger can bring people together, then maybe it can.
PEGGY: (chuckling) As long as it doesn’t bring them together for indigestion.
The family laughs as the camera zooms out, showing the various homemade flags scattered around the room.
FADE OUT.
THE END.

Title: “Rambunctious Rodeo”
INT. HILL LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HANK, PEGGY, and BOBBY sitting in the living room. The TV is on, showing a commercial for a local rodeo. The announcer’s voice booms through the room.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.): “Come on down to Arlen’s Annual Rambunctious Rodeo! Fun for the whole family!”
The commercial ends, and Bobby jumps up excitedly.
BOBBY: Dad, can we go to the rodeo? I want to see the clowns!
HANK: (sighs) Bobby, you know how I feel about clowns. They’re just grown men in oversized shoes. It’s unnatural.
PEGGY: Oh, Hank, let the boy have some fun. Besides, I hear they have a new event this year: the “Rambunctious Roundup.”
HANK: (raising an eyebrow) Rambunctious Roundup? Sounds like a bunch of nonsense.
BOBBY: (pleading) Please, Dad? I promise I won’t ask for any cotton candy this time.
Hank looks at Peggy, who gives him a hopeful smile.
HANK: (reluctantly) Alright, alright. We’ll go. But no clowns near me, Bobby. I mean it.
EXT. ARLEN RODEO GROUNDS - DAY
The Hill family arrives at the rodeo. The place is bustling with activity. Clowns are juggling, cowboys are practicing their lasso skills, and the smell of popcorn fills the air.
BOBBY spots a clown and runs over excitedly, while HANK keeps a safe distance, eyeing the clown suspiciously.
PEGGY: (pointing) Look, Hank! There’s the Rambunctious Roundup arena.
They walk over to see a group of contestants, each holding a large inflatable animal. The announcer steps up to the microphone.
ANNOUNCER: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first-ever Rambunctious Roundup! Our contestants will race to corral these inflatable critters into the pen. The winner gets a year’s supply of propane!”
Hank’s eyes light up at the mention of propane.
HANK: (to Peggy) Did you hear that? A year’s supply of propane! I could grill every day!
PEGGY: (smirking) Well, Hank, why don’t you give it a try?
Hank hesitates, but the thought of free propane is too tempting. He steps forward, joining the contestants.
EXT. RODEO ARENA - MOMENTS LATER
The whistle blows, and the contestants, including Hank, start herding their inflatable animals. It’s chaos as the inflatable creatures bounce around unpredictably.
Hank is determined, but his inflatable cow keeps slipping away. Meanwhile, Bobby is cheering from the sidelines.
BOBBY: Go, Dad! You can do it!
Hank finally manages to corral his inflatable cow, but just as he’s about to secure it, a clown on a unicycle zooms past, causing Hank to stumble.
HANK: (frustrated) Dang it, clown!
The crowd laughs, and Hank, now covered in dust, manages to push the inflatable cow into the pen just in time.
ANNOUNCER: “And the winner is… Hank Hill!”
The crowd cheers, and Hank, despite his dusty appearance, beams with pride.
HANK: (to Peggy) Well, I guess clowns aren’t all bad… as long as they stay on their unicycles.
Peggy and Bobby join Hank in the arena, and they all share a laugh as the scene fades out.
FADE OUT.

Title: “The Great Springfield Impute”
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with HOMER sitting on the couch, surrounded by a mountain of donuts. He’s attempting to balance them on his head, but they keep falling off. MARGE enters, holding a mysterious-looking device that resembles a cross between a blender and a toaster.
MARGE: (excitedly) Homer, look what I found at the Springfield Swap Meet! It’s an Impute Machine!
HOMER: (confused) An Impute Machine? Does it make donuts?
MARGE: (rolling her eyes) No, silly. It’s supposed to improve your intelligence by imputing knowledge directly into your brain!
HOMER: (intrigued) So, you’re saying I could finally understand why the chicken crossed the road?
MARGE: (nodding) Exactly!
BART and LISA enter, curious about the commotion.
BART: (skeptical) Sounds like a scam, Mom. Remember the time Dad bought that “Instant Genius” hat and it just made him speak in Pig Latin?
HOMER: (defensive) Ix-nay on the at-hay, Bart!
LISA: (thoughtful) Well, it could be interesting to try. Maybe we can finally teach Dad some basic math.
HOMER: (excited) Math? I love math! Especially when it involves counting donuts.
MARGE: (smiling) Alright, Homer. Let’s give it a try.
Marge places the Impute Machine on Homer’s head. It hums to life, lights flashing wildly. Suddenly, the room fills with a cacophony of random sounds: a cow mooing, a train whistle, and inexplicably, the sound of a rubber duck squeaking.
HOMER: (dazed) I feel… smarter? Or maybe just hungrier.
BART: (snickering) Quick, Dad! What’s the capital of France?
HOMER: (confidently) Donutville!
LISA: (facepalming) I think the machine might be broken.
Suddenly, the machine sparks and starts spewing out random objects: a rubber chicken, a tiny Eiffel Tower, and a live goldfish that flops onto the carpet.
MARGE: (panicking) Oh no! It’s gone haywire!
HOMER: (delighted) Free stuff! This is the best machine ever!
The chaos continues as the machine spits out more bizarre items: a sombrero, a kazoo, and a miniature replica of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
BART: (laughing) This is better than TV!
LISA: (trying to be rational) We need to turn it off before it fills the house with nonsense!
MARGE rushes to unplug the machine, but not before it ejects one final item: a giant inflatable donut that lands squarely on Homer’s head.
HOMER: (muffled, from under the donut) I knew it! The Impute Machine does make donuts!
The family bursts into laughter as the scene fades out, leaving the living room a delightful mess of random objects and one very happy Homer.
FADE OUT.

Title: “The Debilitating Dilemma”
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - DAY
The scene opens with Homer lounging on the couch, surrounded by empty snack bags. Marge enters, holding a letter with a concerned expression.
MARGE: Homer, we got a letter from the Springfield Health Department. They’re offering free health screenings at the community center.
HOMER: (munching on chips) Free? My favorite price! But I’m as healthy as a horse. A horse that eats donuts and watches TV all day.
MARGE: (sighs) Homer, it’s important. You’ve been complaining about feeling tired lately.
HOMER: (yawning) I’m not tired, Marge. I’m just conserving energy for when I really need it… like when the remote is out of reach.
Bart and Lisa enter, overhearing the conversation.
BART: Dad, you should go. What if they find out you have some weird disease that makes you allergic to work?
LISA: Or maybe they’ll discover you’re the first human to survive solely on pork rinds and beer.
HOMER: (proudly) I’d be a medical marvel!
INT. SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY CENTER - DAY
Homer is sitting in a waiting area, surrounded by other Springfield residents. Dr. Hibbert approaches with a clipboard.
DR. HIBBERT: (chuckling) Well, Homer, let’s see what we’ve got here. According to your results, you have a condition called “Debilitating Laziness.”
HOMER: (alarmed) Debilitating Laziness? Is it serious, Doc?
DR. HIBBERT: (laughing) Only if you consider getting off the couch a life-threatening activity.
Homer looks relieved, then thoughtful.
HOMER: So, what’s the cure? More TV? Less work?
DR. HIBBERT: (smiling) I’d recommend a little exercise and maybe cutting back on the donuts.
HOMER: (horrified) Cut back on donuts? That’s like asking a fish to cut back on water!
Dr. Hibbert walks away, still chuckling. Homer stands up, determined.
HOMER: (to himself) Alright, Homer, time to show them you’re not lazy. You’re just… energy efficient!
INT. SIMPSONS’ LIVING ROOM - LATER
Homer returns home, wearing a headband and sweatbands, looking ready to exercise. Marge, Bart, and Lisa watch him with skepticism.
MARGE: Homer, are you really going to exercise?
HOMER: (confidently) You bet, Marge! I’m going to run… to the fridge and back!
Homer jogs to the fridge, grabs a donut, and jogs back to the couch, collapsing with a satisfied sigh.
BART: (sarcastically) Wow, Dad, you’re like the Flash… if the Flash stopped for snacks every five seconds.
LISA: At this rate, you’ll be in shape by the time I’m president.
HOMER: (munching) Hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day. But it probably had a lot of pizza.
The family laughs as the camera zooms out, showing Homer happily munching on his donut, with the rest of the family shaking their heads in amusement.
FADE OUT.

Title: “The Great Propane Debate”
INT. STRICKLAND PROPANE - DAY
The scene opens with HANK HILL standing proudly behind the counter at Strickland Propane. He’s meticulously arranging propane brochures when DALE GRIBBLE bursts in, wearing his usual sunglasses and cap, looking more conspiratorial than ever.
DALE: Hank! We have a situation on our hands. The government is trying to replace propane with… (dramatic pause) …electricity!
HANK: (incredulous) Dale, propane is the future of clean energy. Who told you this nonsense?
DALE: (leaning in) My sources, Hank. My sources.
BOOMHAUER and BILL enter, overhearing the conversation.
BOOMHAUER: (rapidly) Man, I tell you what, dang ol’ government, man, always tryin’ to mess with a good thing, talkin’ ‘bout dang ol’ electricity, man.
BILL: (confused) Wait, are we talking about those electric cars? I thought they ran on batteries, not… (pauses, thinking hard) …not electricity.
HANK: (sighs) Bill, batteries are electricity.
BILL: (eyes wide) Oh, I thought they were just… you know, little boxes of energy.
PEGGY HILL enters with a clipboard, looking official.
PEGGY: Hank, I’ve been doing some research for my next article in the Arlen Bystander. Did you know that propane is not just for grilling? It can be used for… (checks notes) …flamethrowers!
HANK: (alarmed) Peggy! We don’t advertise that here. Strickland Propane is about safe, clean energy, not… (lowers voice) …flamethrowers.
DALE: (excited) Flamethrowers, you say? I could use one of those for pest control. Imagine the efficiency!
HANK: (sternly) Dale, the only pests you have are the ones in your head.
The door swings open again, and LUCKY enters, looking unusually excited.
LUCKY: Y’all hear about the new electric barbecue grill? It’s supposed to be the next big thing.
HANK: (horrified) Electric barbecue? That’s like… like a steak without the sizzle!
LUCKY: (shrugging) I dunno, Hank. I heard it cooks evenly and doesn’t need propane.
Hank looks around at his friends, realizing this is a battle for the soul of grilling.
HANK: (determined) Gentlemen, we have to show Arlen the true power of propane. We’ll have a cook-off! Propane versus electricity!
The gang nods in agreement, each one more excited than the last.
BOOMHAUER: (rapidly) Man, I tell you what, dang ol’ cook-off, man, propane gonna win, man, talkin’ ‘bout flavor, man.
BILL: (enthusiastic) I’ll bring the potato salad!
DALE: (conspiratorial) And I’ll bring… the truth.
Hank rolls his eyes but smiles, knowing that this is one battle he’s ready to fight.
HANK: Alright, let’s show them what propane can do!
The scene ends with the gang heading out, ready to defend the honor of propane with comedic determination.
FADE OUT.

Title: The One with the Eloquent Joey
INT. CENTRAL PERK - DAY
The gang is gathered at their usual spot. ROSS is reading a book, RACHEL is flipping through a magazine, MONICA is sipping her coffee, and CHANDLER is trying to balance a spoon on his nose. PHOEBE is strumming her guitar softly. JOEY bursts in, looking unusually confident.
JOEY: (with a flourish) Greetings, my esteemed companions!
Everyone looks up, surprised by Joey’s sudden eloquence.
CHANDLER: (spoon falls off his nose) Whoa, who replaced Joey with a Shakespearean actor?
JOEY: (smiling) Ah, Chandler, my dear friend, I have embarked on a journey of linguistic enlightenment!
RACHEL: (confused) Linguistic what-now?
JOEY: (proudly) I’ve decided to expand my vocabulary. I found this app that teaches you new words every day. It’s like a word-a-day calendar, but, you know, for your phone.
PHOEBE: (excited) Ooh, say something fancy!
JOEY: (clears throat) My dear Phoebe, your musical prowess is nothing short of prodigious, and your melodies are as mellifluous as a nightingale’s song.
PHOEBE: (awed) Wow, Joey, that was beautiful! I have no idea what you said, but it sounded amazing!
MONICA: (teasing) So, Joey, what’s the word of the day?
JOEY: (thinking hard) Uh… it’s… “perspicacious.”
ROSS: (impressed) Wow, Joey, that’s a pretty advanced word. Do you know what it means?
JOEY: (confidently) Of course! It means… (pauses) …someone who can see through walls?
The group bursts into laughter.
CHANDLER: (sarcastic) Yes, Joey, because who doesn’t want to be known for their X-ray vision?
JOEY: (defensive) Hey, I’m still learning! But soon, I’ll be the most perspicacious guy in the room!
RACHEL: (smiling) Well, Joey, we love you just the way you are, even if you can’t see through walls.
Joey grins sheepishly as the group continues to chuckle. The camera pulls back, showing the gang enjoying their time together, with Joey still trying to impress them with his newfound vocabulary.
FADE OUT.
