    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Bart fantasizes about riding on a raft with Huckleberry Finn. This is no accident, as the plot borrows heavily from Tom Sawyer. The night after he skips school, Tom and Huck sneak into a graveyard and witness a murder. The town accuses the drunk Muff Potter, but Tom is racked with guilt, knowing it was actually Injun Joe. Similarly, Bart skips school and witnesses the waiter's injury, later feeling guilty for not coming forward when Freddie Quimby is wrongfully accused.
    • Goofs
      Principal Skinner never bothers to simply ask Homer or Marge if Bart's note to leave school was authentic.
    • Quotes

      McGarnagle: Now tell them what you saw Billy.

      Billy: But I'm so scared McGarnagle.

      McGarnagle: You've gotta do this one for me Billy, McGarnagle.

      Billy: Okay for you McGarnagle.

      Chief: [later] Well McGarnagle, Billy is dead! They slit his throat from ear to ear.

      McGarnagle: Hey I'm trying to eat lunch here!

    Cho-Dah
    Bart joins Huckleberry Finn in a daydream, along with Abe Lincoln. He first rides a prison bus with some great schtick. Eventually he skips school and ends up at a rich man's house where a terrible assault has been committed (or so everyone thinks). Bart knows other wise but if he admits he skipped school, Skinner will crucify him. Lots of good fun. Homer end up on the jury, along with Ned. Very funny episode.
