He embarrassed Principal Skinner in front of the whole kindergarten, also making them all laugh. Back at school, while his will-be-friend Milhouse was drinking soy milk, Bart made a funny gesture, making Milhouse spit the milk and finding him funny. Marge asked him to nurture her gifted abilities and thus, he was not helping Lisa one bit. Homer insisted on spending the money on an air conditioner as their stopgap solution ( Snowball 1 fanning some ice) was getting cranky. Realizing that it could have improved her intelligence, they had no choice but to try something else.Ī terrible heat wave hit Springfield and Homer felt hot while watching television. They tried to send Lisa to a private school, to which 75% of its students immediately got promoted to Grade One. The psychologist told Homer and Marge that they needed to nurture her gifted spirit. It was during discussions of Bart's future that the school psychologist realized the young Lisa completed a complicated puzzle of the Taj Mahal and said her age was three years and three-eighths. He drew a violent sketch of his feelings and Marge became worried that something was truly wrong with him. It starts with Bart having experiences at school, and how his initial enthusiasm was crushed by an uncaring teacher, who offended him because of his failure to recite the alphabet, eventually turning Bart into the troublemaker he is today. Lisa comments that it has been a good story but complains that it has nothing to do with the origins of the saxophone. Then Homer and Marge, again, play the piano and sing how things went better after that. He says that in 1990, after Bart's very first day at school, he felt very depressed by a threat from Jimbo, Groundskeeper Willie, and others. In a period of mourning, Lisa reveals that she cannot remember receiving her saxophone, so Homer recounts the instrument's origins. It lands in the middle of the street and is driven over by a car, a truck driven by Hans Moleman, jumped on by Nelson and run over by a man on a tricycle.

Because of the struggle, Bart inadvertently tosses the saxophone out the window. Bart enters Lisa's bedroom and tries to grab the saxophone from her. Homer asks her to stop to which Lisa responds that she has to have an hour of practice everyday.
#SIMPSONS ONE HAND CLAPPING MOVIE#
While Homer and Bart watch a TV movie called The Krusty the Klown Story: Booze, Drugs, Guns, Lies, Blackmail and Laughter, their laughs get interrupted by the noise played on Lisa's saxophone from her bedroom. Shortly after, we hear a clap from an unseen audience. Homer and Marge play the piano and sing a song of their past days. Meanwhile, Bart has a rough time after the first day of school (thanks to that uncaring teacher) but ends up becoming a school prankster.
