BART
What are you doing Milhouse?

MILHOUSE
I’m choosing a side!

BART
What?! You can´t be true.

MILHOUSE
Why not,
Vladi will let me be at school any time I want.

BART
Vladi?!
Oh come on dude.
You can’t be serious.

MILHOUSE
No one cares about me in this town.
Why should I bother?

BART
Mill you know that’s not true...
I’m your friend.

MILHOUSE
It’s too late now.
(to the door) I’m ready!
(to Bart) If you want you can join me.

BART
Oh man...

MILHOUSE
So you’re not my friend.
I prepared a special show for this school!
I will blow up everything! Goodbye.


MILHOUSE leaves the library slamming the door.

EXT SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DAY

Two NINJAS hidden, approach the building. With oriental moves like Jackie Chan they roll over a bush and start to climb the building. Finally they break a window and enter.


INT SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY CORRIDOR DAY

The two NINJAS roll on the floor and hide behind closets. They work very synchronized helping each other with the moves. Two RUSSIAN soldiers appear at the corridor. The NINJAS apply them some Karate moves and put them out. The NINJAS approach the door of the Library. Two RUSSIAN SOLDIERS are guarding the door. Very efficiently the NINJAS put them away too.

INT SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY DAY

BART is trying to open the window to escape. The door slams and the two NINJAS enter the room.

BART
Ay Caramba!
I swear I wasn’t trying to escape...

One of the NINJAS shushes him. The other NINJA approaches the window and puts down an explosive charge, they jump over BART to protect him. The window explodes. The NINJAS take a small gismo that reveals to be a rolled cable that they fix to the wall. They grab BART and climb down to the street.

EXT SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DAY

The three touch down on the ground and run across the courtyard. One of the NINJAS explodes a smoke bomb to cover their moves. They jump over the fence and run to the park. They eventually stop. The two NINJAS take off the masks and finally reveal themselves as MARGE and MICHELLE OBAMA.

BART
Mum?!


MARGE
Oh well...
I’ve been learning new tricks
with my new best friend.


BART
Oprah Winfrey?


MICHELLE OBAMA
What?!


MARGE
Don’t you recognize Mrs President?


BART
Oh... you mean Mrs Clinton?!


MICHELLE OBAMA
Now... That’s it!
Can we take him back to school?

MOE is on the microphone.

MOE

NED FLANDERS walks to the microphone.

NED FLANDERS
Hi-dilly-ho! God helped my soul.

REVEREND LOVEJOY stands up irritated.

REVEREND LOVEJOY
Now... that’s cheating!

MOE
If you say so...
(To NED FLANDERS)

NED FLANDERS
We’re done-diddly-doodily Jesus.

MOE No winner today. I keep the prize money.

REVEREND LOVEJOY
That’s not fair!

MOE
Oh yes it is.
Read the small print next time.
Hey Obama, stage is yours.

BARAK OBAMA
Thank you Moe.
(turns to VLADIMIR PUTIN)
Now is time for you to release the hostages.

VLADIMIR PUTIN
There are no hostages...

HOMER grabs the collar of VLADIMIR PUTIN.

HOMER
Hey! I want my son back...
I want my little monkey!

VLADIMIR PUTIN
Hey calm down!
(to Russian soldier)
He wants his monkey.

VLADIMIR PUTIN snaps his fingers and a RUSSIAN SOLDIER brings a monkey wearing clothes like Bart. HOMER embraces the monkey.

HOMER
Bart, what have they done to you?!

BARAK OBAMA
Is this your son?!

HOMER (crying)
 It’s my son Bummer! It’s my son!

BARAK OBAMA
Hey Homie... call me Mr President!
(To Vladimir Putin) Where is the other kid?

MILHOUSE turns at the door.


MILHOUSE
Are you looking at me?

BARAK OBAMA
So there are no more hostages...
guys lets take the school back to the US.

MILHOUSE shows a radio transistor with a big red button.

MILHOUSE
No one is going to take the school
or I will blow it up.
If I can’t stay there, no one can.

EXT SPRINGFIELD PARK DAY

BART is with MICHELLE OBAMA and MARGE who are putting away the ninja clothes.

BART
Mum, you are my hero!
Thank you for convincing
Mrs President not to take me back to school.

MICHELLE OBAMA
Only this time kid.

MARGE
I’m glad you are OK Bart.

MICHELLE OBAMA We need to go to Moe’s Tavern to tell Bummer that he is safe.

MARGE
Bummer?

MICHELLE OBAMA
Better call him Mr President.

BART
Did you see Milhouse?

MARGE
Milhouse was at the school?

BART
No he left before me.
He is going to meet the Russian guy...

BART runs out.


MARGE
Bart wait... where are you going?

BART
I need to stop Milhouse!


INT MOE’S TAVERN DAY

Tension at the house. MILHOUSE is standing menacingly with the radio transistor.

BARAK OBAMA
What did you do with the kid?

VLADIMIR PUTIN
I just told him another point of view...
And I gave him what he wants.

HOMER (to the monkey)
Bart, do something he is your friend.

The MONKEY grabs a bowl of peanuts from the table and eats them in one go followed by a big burp.

HOMER
I love my boy!

MILHOUSE
He is not my friend... He is just a monkey!

HOMER
Hey! That’s not nice!

BARAK OBAMA
Let’s take back the school!

VLADIMIR PUTIN
If you do that
I will send more Russian stuff here!

BARAK OBAMA
What you are going to send?
Balalaikas?!


VLADIMIR PUTIN
I will send you something that you will never forget!

BARAK OBAMA
Oh yeah?!

VLADIMIR PUTIN
Yeah!

BARAK OBAMA jumps over VLADIMIR PUTIN and they start a fight. BARAK OBAMA has the advantage and manages to control VLADIMIR PUTIN.

MILHOUSE
Stop it! Release him!
I’ll count till three
and I will press this button! One... two...

Everybody stops. MILHOUSE is threatning with his finger over the red button of the radio controller. At this point BART appears jumping over MILHOUSE. They roll on the floor. The radio controller falls. Everybody starts to fight. MOE fights BARNEY GUMBLE. REVEREND LOVEJOY slaps NED FLANDERS.

REVEREND LOVEJOY
The other cheek! (slap)
The other cheek! (slap)
The other cheek! (slap).

NED FLANDERS
My turn Rev!

REVEREND LOVEJOY
No way Flanders! I’m forgiving you your sins!

NED FLANDERS
Hi-dilly-ho Hi-dilly-ok!

BART
You are not going to blast our friendship Mill!

MILHOUSE
I have new friends now!

MILHOUSE manages to crawl near the radio controller, when is ready to press the button a soft guitar tune starts playing "What a wonderful world" everybody stops. Under a light aura, appears MALIA. MALIA is on the guitar then appears LISA who is on saxophone playing the song, then NATASHA sings it in an angelic voice while MAGGIE shakes a rattle.

NATASHA (singing)
I see trees of green,
red roses too,
I see them bloom for me and you,
and I think to myself what a wonderful world (...)

Everybody starts to release the others and get emotional while they are listening the song. A rainbow appears then white clouds, birds and butterflies. Everybody with tears in their eyes starts to sing and embrace each other. LOUIS ARMSTRONG embraces NEIL ARMSTRONG (wearing his Astronaut suite, with the helmet under his arm. VLADIMIR PUTIN and BARAK OBAMA look to each other and jump into the arms of each other.

VALDIMIR PUTIN
Sorry Bummer!

BARAK OBAMA
Call me Mr President!

VLADIMIR PUTIN
I’ll call you anything you want.

BARAK OBAMA
Great. Now, take your stuff from Springfield. OK Comrade?

VLADIMIR PUTIN OK... Comrade.

In other point BART and MILHOUSE are close to each other.

MILHOUSE
Sorry Bart... I don’t know what I was thinking...

BART
No problem-o amigo!
I understand. It’s summertime.

MILHOUSE
How about to build a submarine?!

BART
Sounds great!
I know where we can find some extra power.
There are lot’s of Russian rockets at the schoolyard.



BART and MILHOUSE laugh and give a hug.
MILHOUSE You are my best friend!

BART
I know.


MICHELLE OBAMA and MARGE turn at the door. EVERYBODY is still singing.

MICHELLE OBAMA
Looks like they reached something here.

MARGE Isn’t wonderful?

MICHELLE OBAMA

A wonderful world.

We are back to BART and MILHOUSE.
