Episode summary (from Wikipedia):

Spoiler: show

Mr. Burns decides to hold a good old-fashioned fire drill in order to excite things up around the Plant. Upon hearing the bells ring, the employees panic and fail to clear the plant within 15 minutes. Outraged, Burns declares that everyone will be subjected to a teamwork competition at Mt. Springfield. Homer ends up being partnered with Burns while Smithers has to journey on his own, fuming that he was not paired with his boss. The object of this competition is to reach a cabin at the top of the mountain; the last team to arrive will be fired.

Along the way, Burns talks Homer into cheating and they use a snowmobile to reach the cabin. Arriving several hours early, they settle down in the comfortable surroundings. Burns and Homer quickly become friends. However, while clinking their champagne glasses, they inadvertently cause an avalanche that buries the entire cabin. Despite Burns's attempt to operate a telegraph machine or Homer's attempt to dig through the snow, the pair remain trapped. The pair attempt further tunneling escapes, but each time they speak, they cause more avalanches that place even more snow between them and freedom. Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa meet Smithers and agree to help him proceed to the cabin, though they cause more stalling than helping.

Back in the cabin, Burns and Homer are besieged by cabin fever. They build snowmen to pass the time (though Burns insists they build real men out of snow) and clothe them at the expense of their own warmth. The other employees reach what appears to be their destination-- however, it is actually a ranger station and they begin to realize that something bad has happened to their colleagues. In the cabin, Homer and Burns stare at each other's eyes, filling their minds with paranoia. They are both driven mad and attempt to kill each other. After a vicious struggle, Burns ignites the cabin's propane tank, launching the building out of the snow and propelling it toward the horrified onlookers. Once it comes to a halt, Mr. Burns reminds everyone of the contest, and all the workers hurry inside.

Lenny is the last person in the cabin, and is told he is fired. Burns then decides that no one will be fired after all (although Lenny who is outside doesn't know that). The episode ends with Mr. Burns and Homer alternately laughing and glaring at each other.

Burns: Meltdown alert? Mad dog drill? Blimp attack? Ah... I think a good old-fashioned fire drill today.
[alarm goes off; most people just stare, intrigued]
Carl: All right, popcorn's ready!
[takes the bag out of the microwave and pours kernels in a bowl]
Homer: Hey... that's the fire alarm.
Carl: We gotta get out of here.
Lenny: Wait for me! [filling a cup at the cocoa machine] Come on, come on, come on!

Homer: So, Mr. Burns is gonna make us all go on a stupid corporate retreat up in the mountains to learn about teamwork. Which means we'll have to cancel our plans to hang around here.
Bart: Teamwork is overrated.
Homer: Huh?
Bart: Think about it. I mean, what team was Babe Ruth on? Who knows.
Lisa+Marge: Yankees.
Bart: Sharing is a bunch of bull, too. And helping others. And what's all this crap I've been hearing about tolerance?
Homer: Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Burns: And to show that I'm not playing favorites, both Smithers and I will be
participating. Who knows? I might be the unlucky one who gets fired. [under his breath] Not bloody likely.

Smithers: Now pair off as I draw your names. Lenny and... Carl.
Carl: Aw nuts! I mean, um... Aw nuts.

Burns: We have several hours before the others arrive, let's say we get comfy. [turns on the fusebox] Now we have electricity. [turns on the gas] This propane tank will supply us with heat. And this doorknob, properly turned, will allow us access to the cabin.
Homer: No going through the window for us!

Carl: According to the map, the cabin should be right here.
Lenny: Hey, maybe there is no cabin. Maybe it's one of them metaphorical things.
Carl: Oh yeah, yeah... Like maybe the cabin is the place inside each of us, created by our goodwill and teamwork.
Lenny: [in a flash of insight] Ohhh..... Nah, they said there would be sandwiches.

Homer: We could build snowmen.
Burns: No, I have a better idea! We could build real men, out of snow!
Homer: Oh. Okay...

Burns: Look at them. Smug and secure in their finery. Mocking us.
Homer: Uh, they're just snowmen, Mr. Burns.
Burns: Ah, snowmen have peepers. Peepers to watch. To watch for a moment of weakness and then BAFF comes the knock in the head and we're down!
Homer: [worriedly] What do we do??
Burns: Oh...wouldn't you like to know.

Burns: I'll kill you, you bloated museum of trechery!
Homer: You and what army?
[imagines Nazi snowmen behind Burns]
[gasps and shakes] Stand back! I have powers! [threateningly] Political powers!
Burns: [imagines dead world leaders behind Homer] Uuh!

LD -- if I may ask out of curiosity... do you have like a waiting list at this point of the requested episodes to use, and roughly how long might it be?

I have about 5 episodes on the list at the moment that have been previously requested.

Now this one is quality. The dialogue between Burns and Homer is gold!



That line cracks me up every time

One of you wonderful mods needs to sticky this thread, mmmkay?

Now Mr. Burns, say I wanted that dip over there.

Why you'd have to get up!

Wow Mr. Burns you really know how to cheat.

Yes, well I'm older than you are.

I love when Homer is the first one out of the building for the fire drill and then barricades the door shut.

top notch episode

Love that bit


Great ep all round

"I think I won, Mr. Burns."
"Oh you won all right.... you won more than you bargained for."
"Woo-hoo!"

a favorite moment of burns/homer is (although a different ep)
burns: (angrily) "if you don't come in to work tommorow, do not bother coming into work on monday
homer: (arms raised) WOOHOO! four day weekend!

actually church, that was between homer and marge

marge: homer, work called and they said if you don 't show up for work today don't bother coming in on monday
homer: woohoo! four day weekend!

i dont know why those fucking names are there

i'm sorry chud. i haven't watched the simpsons on a regular basis since probably early high school

neither have i, it's no excuse!

this episode is a prime example of the Simpsons at their peak. The Ranger is a phenomenal character. The delivery of his lines is pure comedic gold.


Marge: Excuse me, sir? I can't find my children.
Ranger: Have you checked the woods?
Marge: No.
Ranger: Hmm. Follow me. We'll take the chair lift. It'll give us an eagle-eye view of the area directly beneath the chair lift.

(The Ranger and Marge use a chair lift on the mountain to find Bart and Lisa.)
Ranger: I won't lie to you. Our chances of finding your children are slim to nil.
Lisa: (From below) Hi mom!
(Smithers and the kids are waving at Marge)
Marge: There they are! Let me down here.
Ranger: Sorry. There's no way off till we get to the top, and even then it's sort of tricky.
Marge: All right, kids, we'll meet you at the top! Just be careful!
Ranger: Uh, actually, I'm a little more concerned about us.
(A support beam for the lift chair snaps in half.)
Ranger: Um, do you know how to weld?


Ranger: Okay, search party. Before we set out, lets take a moment to humor the children. [To Bart & Lisa] Kids, your father's gonna be just fine. [To others] Okay, everybody, put on your corpse handling gloves. We've got two frozen bodies buried somewhere in this mountain.


and then this classic one

(Bart presses a red button on the electronic Smokey.)
Electronic Smokey: Only who can prevent forest fires?
(There is a stand with buttons for "You" and "Me", Bart presses "You")
Electronic Smokey: You pressed "You", referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is, "You".
Bart: Mom, can Lisa and I play outside -- away from the bear?

that "away from the bear" line always gets me
