Lisa
[talking about the pollution of Lake Springfield while trying to work a faulty scissorlift]
Am I getting through to anyone?
Krusty
Hell yeah! We need a new one of those things!
MQ Mayor Quimby
All in favor of the new scissorlift say aye.
Lisa
No! This lake is just one piece of trash away from a toxic nightmare! But I knew you wouldn't listen, so I took the liberty of pouring water from the lake in all your drinking glasses.
Moe
[Everyone spits out their water in disgust]
This is why we should hate kids!
MQ Mayor Quimby
This is serious, people! No more dumping in the lake! I hereby declare a state of emergency: CODE BLACK!
LL Lenny Leonard
[The crowd gasps]
Black?! That's the worst color there is! [to Carl] No offense there, Carl.
Carl
[not even shaken]
Nah, I get it all the time.
SM Sideshow Mel
[After the dome is placed over Springfield] [hitting the dome with his bone]
What ruthless madmen could have done this to us?!
Russ Cargill
The United States Government. [appears on a holographic screen on the side of the dome] My name is Russ Cargill. I'm head of the EPA.
Moe
[Everyone murmurs in confusion]
The what?
Russ Cargill
The Environmental Protection Agency.
Russ Cargill
Look, I'm a man on a big TV! Just listen! Springfield has become...
RS Random Springfield Citizen
Woo! Springfield!
Russ Cargill
...the most polluted city in the history of the planet.
Krusty
Drama queen!
Russ Cargill
To prevent your poisons from spreading, the government has sealed you all within this dome. Believe me, it's the last thing we wanted to do. I mean, I do own the company that made the dome, but that's beside the point.
Moe
What, are you telling us we're trapped like rats?!
Russ Cargill
No, rats couldn't be trapped this easily. You're trapped like... carrots.
Lisa
Wait! We couldn't be more polluted - everyone stopped dumping in the lake.
Russ Cargill
Apparently, someone didn't get the message.
Homer
[to Plopper]
Act natural.
Carl
Hey, buddy, sooner or later, people are gonna come by and discover this!
Russ Cargill
You don't need to worry about that. We found a way to take you off the map.
GV GPS Voice
[cuts to a man in his car with a GPS map]
Coming up on your right... [Springfield is removed from the map] nothing.
Marge
Homer, you have to go out there, face that mob, and apologize for what you did.
Homer
I would, but I'm afraid that if I open the door, they'll take all of you.
Carl
[offscreen]
No we won't. We just want Homer!
Homer
Well maybe not you... but they'll kill Grandpa!
G Grandpa
[offscreen]
I'm part of the mob!
