Well, Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions..
Ah, superintendent Chalmers, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!
Hmm.
Oh ye gods! My roast is ruined! ..but what if, I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Hohoho, delightfully devilish, Seymour.
I-
Skinner, with his crazy explanations! Superintendent's gonna need his medication! When he hears skinners lame exaggerations there'll be trouble in town tonight!
SEYMOUR!
Superintendent! I was just.. just stretching my calves on the windowsill! Isometric excercise! Care to join me?
Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour?
D'oh! That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having! Mm, steamed clams!
Phew!
Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers!
I thought we were having steamed clams.
Oho, no, I said steamed hams! That's what I call hamburgers!
You call hamburgers steamed hams?
Yes! It's a... regional dialect.
Uh huh. What region?
Uhh.. upstate New York.
Really? Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams."
Oho, no, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.
I see.
Yknow, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.
Dohohoho, no! Patented skinner-burgers! Old family recipe!
..for steamed hams?
Yes!
Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
Y-eh.. Yknow, I... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.
Of course.
Ah! Well, that was wonderful. Good times were had by all, I'm pooped!
Yes, I should be- Good Lord what is happening in there?
Aurora Borealis?
A-- Aurora Borealis?
At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes!
...May I see it?
...No.
Seymour! The house is on fire!
No, Mother, it's just the northern lights.
Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say- you steam a good ham.
Help! Heellpp!
