Bart walks up to his locker and when he opens it he covers his face in anticipation of something happening but nothing does. Nelson is down the hall.

Nelson: HAHA you're scared to do anything.

Bart runs up to Jayson at lunch and demands to know when and how he's going to do something. Jayson tells Bart he can but it will cost him.

Bart: How Much?

Jayson: About 500 dollars. (He starts smoking a cigar)

Bart: (Thinks) 500 dollars I don't have that kind of money unless.

Skinner: Jayson no smoking on school grounds. Have you ever seen our school motto? (He points to a sign saying school motto: keep it outside)

Homer is making a checklist of things to use his 5000 dollars on. The checklist has buy Flanders Leftorium, send Flanders Family on a permanent bible retreat, offer to help Flanders move, and buy all of Flanders stuff.

Homer: Hmmm what else? Hey Marge how many cars do you think we can buy with 5000 dollars? (Bart runs up to Homer)

Bart: Dad you have 5000 dollars so you'll have no problem giving me 500 dollars right?

Homer: Why did you kill someone?

Bart: No, I need it for school.

Homer: What's going on in school?

Bart: It's this one kid he is bothering me.

Homer: Just talk to him and get to know him better.

Bart: That wouldn't work he's bullying me around.

Homer: I'm sure he's just insecure about himself.

Bart: He keeps picking on me.

Homer: Pick on him back.

Bart: I can't he's going to surprise me and play a prank on me at some point.

Homer: Don't worry he won't hurt you.

Bart: Dad he's a bully.

Homer: (Shocked) Bully, why didn't you say that before? Of course I'll give you the 500 dollars to help get rid of him. As soon as I get it.

Bart walks up to Jayson and tells him that he will have the 500 dollars as soon as his dad gets it.

Jayson: (Sounding like a mafia boss) Well you better or else (he smiles and jumps up scaring Bart) Capisce.

Bart: (Gulps) Yes.

Marge and Homer talk in the kitchen alone.

Marge: Homer please normally I wouldn't ask you to pay that much money for anything but this Sunday's services will be outside because they said the Church is not safe to be in anymore.

Homer: Don't worry what's the problem with having the service out in the beautiful outdoors.

At Sunday Service its thundering and pouring rain. Everybody is all soaking wet and cold. Homer, Marge, and Bart are all trying to wrap themselves up in blankets. Maggie is nice and warm hiding in Marge's hair.

Rev. Lovejoy: Jesus is punishing the ones who haven't paid towards helping rebuild our Church. Now lets all thank the lord for making this Beautiful day. (A big clap of thunder roars after he says that) (Homer starts to look like he may be changing his mind)

The doorbell rings at the Simpson's house and Marge answers it. Flanders, Rev. Lovejoy, and Helen are at the door. They said that they need 5000 dollars more and if Homer doesn't give the money to them that they will need to start going to Shelbyville Church. Marge lets them in.

Marge: Homer Rev. Lovejoy wants to talk to you.

Rev. Lovejoy: Homer we know how much money means to you. All were asking is for you to pay 5000 dollars so we can have a church again.

Marge: I don't want to have to drive 45 minutes to get to church.

Homer: Your right church is not worth 45 minutes.

Rev. Lovejoy: Were also willing to reimburse some of the money spent back to you when we get the church built.

Flanders: Please Homer do the honorable Christian thing and give the money to church so we can pray again.

Homer: (Giving in) Ok I'll do it.

Marge: I love you Homer.

Homer: Anything to get some.

Bart sits by himself at lunch because Milhouse thinks Jayson is cooler. Jayson starts throwing food at Bart. Bart walks up to Jayson and says he's going to have the money soon. Jayson said until he sees the money he going to pull pranks on him. Suddenly when Bart walks back to his table Jayson had a string tied from one table to the other and Bart couldn't see it so he trips and all the kids laugh at him.

Bart goes up to Homer and wonders when his money will get here. Homer tells him that he's going to give it to the church but he has some advice for Bart.

Bart: Really you have some advice.

Homer: Yeah. Go ask your Mother.

Bart: (Disappointed) Oh.

Bart goes up to his mother but she's busy helping Flanders out on how to design the new church and so he goes up to Lisa's Room for help.

Bart: Mom, Dad didn't help but I know you have first hand experience of being bullied and picked on.

Lisa: I could help you but you know maybe this will help you to know what its like to be bullied and picked on.

Bart: What are you saying?

Lisa: Maybe you stop being a prankster.

Bart: Nah that wouldn't happen.

Lisa: Anyway what I do is just start to ignore them and soon they go away.

Bart: Thanks that's great advice.

Bart walks into school and anytime he sees Jayson he just keeps walking and ignores him. At Lunch he ignores Jayson again. But Jayson walks up to him after school.

Jayson: The guys and I are ready to call a truce between us.

Bart: Really.

Jayson: Yeah we can't be enemies. Besides think of what we can do together.

Bart: You're right together we are an unstoppable prank force.

Bart and Jayson walk back to where Milhouse and the rest of the guys are at but Bart notices they all have water balloons.

Bart: Guys what's going on? (He gets attacked by the Water balloons and soaked)

Kids: Truce.

Jayson: Bart, you fell for one of the older tricks in the prank book don't trust the enemy. This isn't the end it's just the beginning. See you tomorrow same place same time. (Laughs)

Homer is sitting on his couch when the doorbell rings.

Homer: Its here. (He goes and opens the door)

Man: Are you Homer Simpson?

Homer: Yes.

Man: Well congratulations-

Homer: Yes.

Man: You have won-

Homer: Yes.

Man: a check for-

Homer: Yes.

Man: 5000 dollars.

Homer: Yes.

Man: (Starts laughing) just kidding smile you're on candid camera.

Homer: What.

Man: You haven't won any money.

Homer: But you sent me a letter saying that I won 5000 dollars.

Man: Yeah we really fooled you. Hope it wasn't too cruel of a joke to tease you winning money. (They all runaway quickly)

Homer: (Still not believing) (He runs outside) Wait come back I can change. (Moans) They're not coming back. (He closes the door but as soon as he does that the doorbell rings and the man with the check is back at his door)

Homer: Oh you came back I really did win.

Man: No I just dropped my pen in your house. (They quickly take off again)
