( doorbell rings )
WELL, SEYMOUR, I MADE IT
DESPITE YOUR DIRECTIONS.
SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS, WELCOME.
I HOPE YOU'RE PREPARED FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE LUNCHEON.
YEAH.
OH, YE GODS!
MY ROAST IS RUINED.
BUT WHAT IF...
I WERE TO PURCHASE FAST FOOD
AND DISGUISE IT AS MY OWN COOKING?
HO-HO-HO-HO-HO.

SEYMOUR!
SUPERINTENDENT!
WHY IS THERE SMOKE COMING OUT OF YOUR OVEN, SEYMOUR?
UH... OH! THAT ISN'T SMOKE.
IT'S STEAM.
STEAM FROM THE STEAMED CLAMS WE'RE HAVING.
MMM, STEAMED CLAMS.
SUPERINTENDENT, I HOPE YOU'RE READY
FOR MOUTH-WATERING HAMBURGERS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING STEAMED CLAMS.
OH, NO, I SAID "STEAMED HAMS."
THAT'S WHAT I CALL HAMBURGERS.
YOU CALL HAMBURGERS "STEAMED HAMS"?
IT'S A REGIONAL DIALECT.
WHAT REGION?
UH, UPSTATE NEW YORK.
REALLY? WELL, I'M FROM UTICA
AND I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE USE THE PHRASE "STEAMED HAMS."
OH, NOT IN UTICA, NO, IT'S AN ALBANY EXPRESSION.
I SEE.
YOU KNOW, THESE HAMBURGERS ARE QUITE SIMILAR
TO THE ONES THEY HAVE AT KRUSTY BURGER.
( laughing ): OH, NO.
PATENTED SKINNER BURGERS, OLD FAMILY RECIPE.
FOR STEAMED HAMS. YES.
YES, AND YOU CALL THEM STEAMED HAMS
DESPITE THE FACT THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY GRILLED.
Y-YOU KNOW...
ONE THING I SH...
EXCUSE ME FOR ONE SECOND.
OF COURSE.
AH, WELL, THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. I'M POOPED.
YES, I SHOULD BE...
GOOD LORD! WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?
AURORA BOREALIS.
AURORA BOREALIS?!
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
AT THIS TIME OF DAY
IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY
LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN?
YES.
MAY I SEE IT?
NO.
Skinner's mother: SEYMOUR, THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
NO, MOTHER, IT'S JUST THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
WELL, SEYMOUR, YOU ARE AN ODD FELLOW
BUT I MUST SAY, YOU STEAM A GOOD HAM.
Skinner's mother: HELP!
