Simpsons episode 3G01 -- a great episode guest starring
David Duchovny,
Gillian Anderson, and
Leonard Nimoy.
The story is that
Homer sees an alien in the forrest and is visited by
Mulder and
Scully from
The X-files who investigate his claim. They give up but Homer proves them and the rest of
Springfield right one friday night. The alien, however, turns out to be be
Mr. Burns. The story is told by Leonard Nimoy.
Imortant quotes:
.
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.
Homer:
"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, the bus
would explode! I think it was called... "The bus that couldn't slow
down.""
Lisa:
"All right! It's time for ABC's "TGIF" lineup!"
Bart:
"Lis, when you get a little older, you'll learn that Friday is just
another day between NBC's "Must See Thursday" and CBS' " Saturday
night craporama.""
Scully:
"Now, we're going to run a few tests. This is a simple lie
detector. I'll ask you a few yes or no questions and you just
answer truthfully. Do you understand?"
Homer:
"Yes."
(the
polygraph explodes)
Interesting notes:
An alien lineup is held which contains the following:
Mulder's
FBI badge shows him in a
red speedo -- a reference to when Mulder did wear on in the episode
