Oh, it's so hard being me.
Spelling, having siblings like these.
- Hey!
- Ah!
Patty, what are you doing here?
I don't feel like spelling today.
- Hmph.
- Hmph.
No.
I don't feel like doing it.
No matter how you try, I will not spell.
- Okay.
- See, just you, we, you, you just always got to say something.
You're just being a pest.
A P-E-S-T, pest!
- Huh!
- Bart!
- Huh?
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, Bart, Benji and I don't feel like spelling.
(Bart mumbling) (Benji gasps) - What?
Of course, I agree with you.
Spelling is the most fun when we do it with our friends and we work together.
(Bart mumbling) - Right, but Patty keeps dropping things on me.
(Bart mumbling) - I only drop things 'cause I learned how to spell from you guys.
(Bart and Benji gasping) - What, you have been imitating us?
- Yeah.
- This whole time?
- Yeah.
- Huh?
What?
I, what?
I just, I just thought you were being mean.
- Mean?
You're my heroes.
(Bart and Benji gasp) - Oh my goodness.
(Bart mumbles in awe) You think that we are your heroes?
(Bart mumbles) - Mmhmm.
- I guess it's true what they say.
Not all heroes wear capes, (Bart mumbles) except for you, I think you have a cape on.
(Bart mumbles) (Patty and Benji chuckle) Alright.
Well, you know what?
I think that calls for one last word to spell.
(Bart mumbles) Go for it, Bart.
(twinkling sound) (Bart sounds out a word) - Best.
(Benji gasps) - Just like best friends.
(Bart mumbles) That's us!
We're best friends!
(Bart gasps) Bring it in everyone.
Let's just have a hug.
Now, everyone smile for the camera, I set the timer.
I set it for like a minute so it's about ready to go, Here we go, ready?
(Bart mumbles) Are you smiling?
Bart, look at the camera!
(Bart mumbles) Here we go!
(quiet jazz music) It's going to go any second, just wait.
(quiet jazz continues) Keep holding, (laughs) keep holding it.
(quiet jazz continues) (Patty laughs) Don't laugh!
(camera shutter clicks) (Jazz music plays louder)
