The Simpsons - Next Time - Ben Rosenthal



1.  The Simpson family sits on its couch looking at each other awkwardly.

CAPTION
Next time on The Simpsons!


2.  Homer is asking a question, confused.

HOMER
Um, why are we just sitting here?

LISA
Because we have done everything.  Ever.  There is nothing left for us to do.


3.  Close up of Homer, scratching his head.

HOMER
Then why are we still here?


4.  A close up of Lisa.

LISA
Because for some reason we still make money.  Mountains and mountains of money.

5.  A close up of Marge, sobbing.

MARGE
Why won't they just let us die.


6.  Same as Panel 1, but Marge is sobbing in her hands.

CAPTION
That's next time on The Simpsons.

 The Simpsons ended for me after 8 seasons.  Everything after does not exist.  That is all.

    Marge's line is good value. Really takes the script from funny to sad. Horrific, even.
