Script[]

(Fade in to the Simpson's living room, where Homer and Lisa are watching TV while Santa's Little Helper is laying down with a dog biscuit in his mouth. Lightning is heard and the screen flashes, while Santa's Little Helper lifts his head up and is listening to the lightning in an alert behavior. Bart comes in with his Butterfinger.)

Homer: (The lights turned into a blackout, and only Santa's Little Helper, Bart, Lisa, and Homer's eyeballs are seen on a black screen.) Huh! What happened to the lights?!

Lisa: It's just a power outage, Dad.

(The screen flashes, lightning is heard again, and we see Bart taking a bite from his Butterfinger while Homer gets scared a bit by the crunching sound of Bart, Lisa looks at Bart, and Santa's Little Helper still has an alert expression on his face.)

Homer: (Gets scared from the crunching sound, then the screen shows their eyeballs again.) Huh! What was that?!!

Lisa: It's just Bart eating a Butterfinger.

Homer: Ooh, it sounds like he's right over... (The screen flashes and lightning is heard once again, showing Homer jumping to Bart's spot next to Santa's Little Helper, and Bart jumps to Homer's spot on the couch. As they take turns, Santa's Little Helper backs away from Homer, and Lisa is watching Homer and Bart take turns. Homer didn't catch the Butterfinger on time, because Bart still has it in his hand.) here!

(The screen shows their eyeballs once again.)

Homer: Ohh. Bart: Ha, ha, ha!

Homer: Aww, how about a bite, little buddy?

(Bart, who still has the Butterfinger in his hand, takes Santa's Little Helper's biscuit out of his mouth, who yawns, and gives it to Homer, who doesn't know that he's eating a dog treat.)

Bart: Well, OK, Homer. Just one.

(Homer takes a bite out of the dog biscuit, which is more crunchier than Bart's Butterfinger, and realizes that it tastes different.)

Homer: Hey, this tastes just like a...

(The lights came back on in the living room. Homer sees the bite he made in the biscuit, which he freaks out about as crumbs come out of his mouth. Bart and Lisa watch, while Santa's Little Helper has a surprised look on his face and whimpers.)

Homer: ...Dog biscuit!

(Cut to the Butterfinger sequence.)

Announcer: Get a crispity, crunchity, peanut buttery burst in every bite of Butterfinger!

(Cut back to Bart and Lisa, who are on the couch. Lisa is staring at Bart as he says the catchphrase.)

Bart: Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger.

(Bart takes another bite from his Butterfinger.)

(Zoom out to Homer and Santa's Little Helper while Bart and Lisa are still on the couch. Homer is wiping the dog biscuit taste off of his tongue and Santa's Little Helper is laying down with his bitten biscuit again. His head lifts up and has a shocked expression on his face. As Homer wipes the biscuit taste off, he makes noises with his tongue out. The scene fades out.)
