The Inventor and the Mover

Chapter 3: Homer Wants His Job Back

Meanwhile in Mr. Burns' office, we find Homer demanding for his job back, saying "Mr. Burns, I want my job back!" while pointing straight at him. Mr Burns asks him why he should give him his job back, to which Homer replies with, "I was distracted because the one I loved dumped me the day before, but now we're back together so I won't get distracted anymore." Burns isn't impressed so he starts to say before Smithers whispers in his ear, "Bah! That's the worst excuse I've ever heard!" After hearing Smithers, Burns lets out a sigh and says, "But you have worked here for a long time, I'll have to get back to you on this matter. I'll call you once I made up my mind."

An hour later, Homer is sitting on the couch when Herb walks in talking to himself saying, "Which pet should I experiment with..? The dog or the cat.. Dogs are more friendly, but cats have a lot to think about." Homer looks at him and says, "What's going on, my love?" Herb looks at his lover, smiles, sits next to him, places a hand on his cheek, and says, "I've got an idea for a new invention. It's a pet translator." "Is it going to be like your baby translator?", Homer asks him, "Yes, and that does worry me..do you think anybody would buy it?" Herb says to him. "I know me, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and my dad often wonder what Santa's Little Helper is saying, and Lisa does have issues with Snowball II." Homer tells his brother.

Once it's seven PM, Homer, Marge, Herb, and the kids are eating dinner in the dining room. Suddenly the kitchen phone rings, Homer tells them that he'll get it as it might be Mr. Burns. Herb asks him if he got his job back, and Homer says, "I'll find out." Homer enters the kitchen, answers the phone, and hears Mr. Burns say, "Hello Simpson. I've thought about what you said.", "And do I get my job back?" asks Homer, "Yes. I better not regret this!"
