Story

Homer and Marge go to a parent-teacher conference. Marge is told that Lisa is doing well, but Homer is told that Bart is making trouble. Bart's teacher, Mrs. Krabappel, wants Homer and Marge to control Bart better. When Homer and Marge go home, they find out that Bart has broken Grampa's false teeth. Homer makes him go up to his room with no dinner, but gives him pizza because he feels bad for Bart.

Bart buys a ticket to see the new Itchy & Scratchy movie. Homer makes Bart watch Maggie while he is gone. Bart does not watch her and Maggie crashes Homer's car. Homer becomes very angry and says that Bart can not watch the Itchy & Scratchy movie. Two months after the movie is first shown, Bart is the only kid in Springfield who has not seen the movie. Bart tries to go to a movie theater to see it, but the theater employees are told by Homer that Bart can not see it. Marge and Lisa try to tell Homer that Bart should see the movie, but Homer still does not want him to. Later, the movie is no longer shown in theaters. Homer tells Bart that he will be responsible and he will grow up to be a good man.

40 years later, Bart becomes the Chief Justice of the United States and Homer is a senior citizen. Homer sees that the Itchy & Scratchy movie is in theaters again and lets Bart see the movie for the first time.
