[after Milhouse has fled the picture, the director and producer are conferencing with an editor]
Editor : Thanks to modern editing techniques, we can use existing footage to complete the film without Milhouse!
[the producer and director stare blankly at him]
Editor : [chuckling] Watch.
[He plays a rough cut of the footage, which shows Radioactive Man in a cave, surrounded by muscular thugs looking for a fight. He whispers to an unseen Fallout Boy]
Radioactive Man : Looks like we're in trouble... Fallout Boy.
[the scene cuts to a shot of Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy standing in a field]
Milhouse Van Houten : Jiminy jillikers, Radioactive Man!
[the scene returns to the cave]
Radioactive Man : We'll have to fight our way out; are you ready?
[the scene cuts again, this time to a shot of Fallout Boy sitting on a couch at home]
Milhouse Van Houten : [beat] Yes.
[the scene changes yet again to a shot of Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy fighting aliens on the Moon]
Editor : [as the rough cut ends] Seamless, huh?
Producer : [beat] You're fired.
Editor : And with good cause!
[Note: this moment is, in fact, recycled footage of the editor from an earlier point in this scene]
