Mickey Rooney addresses the people of Springfield before they go:<BR/><BR/>Rooney: Well, I hope you're all satisfied. You bankrupted a bunch of naive movie folks -- folks from a Hollywood where values are...different. They weren't thinking about the money. They just wanted to tell a story, a story about a radioactive man, and you slick small-towners took 'em for all they were worth.<BR/>(...) <BR/>[the helicopter swings by overhead]<BR/> Pilot: Hurry, Mr. Rooney! We've got a disenchanted little girl in a Jell-O Pudding commercial!<BR/>Rooney: I could play that...[grabs the rope ladder]<BR/>(...)<BR/>In Hollywood, an assembled crowd welcomes back the troubled production with open arms. An actor hugs the assistant and says, "We know you don't have any more money left, but that doesn't matter. Just take whatever you need from our boutiques until you can get back on your feet." The assistant sighs, "Thank God we're back in Hollywood where people treat each other right."Dennis Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233729780363740881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-47331125335089592192008-11-22T09:32:00.000-08:002008-11-22T09:32:00.000-08:00And, of course, no Mormon's live in California and...And, of course, no Mormon's live in California and contribute to political causes.
