Line 24:
The Simpsons go out to dinner to celebrate [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] getting his first test "A" grade; however, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]'s credit card is rejected and, after a failed escape attempt, the family are made to sing for customers to work off their bill. After Homer reveals that he sold the back seats of his car for gasoline money (which he spent on a novelty car horn), he and [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] seek advice from financial planner Lindsay Naegle, who informs them that, due to poor money management by Homer, the family have multiple mortgages and will need to declare bankruptcy several times.
Meanwhile, [[Mr. Burns]] is looking to amuse him while his assistant, [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]], is in [[New Mexico]] performing in a Malibu Stacy musical that he wrote. When Homer asks if he can have a raise, Burns offers him cash in exchange for throwing pudding at [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]]. He does so, amusing Burns, who makes Homer his "prank monkey". Burns pays Homer to perform embarrassing and cruel tasks, such as pretending to be a baby who "made a boom boom" at the sports stadium restroom, and eating a mint condition ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' #1 in front of [[Comic Book Guy]], eventually having Homer masquerade as the Springfield Zoo's new female [[Giant panda|panda]], Sim-Sim, and is electrocuted by animal handlers before being raped by the zoo's male panda, Ping-Ping.
[[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] discovers what Homer has been doing and convinces him his dignity is more important than money. She suggests donating the money he has earned to needy children, so he spends it on toys at Costington's Department Store. [[Mr. Costington]], impressed by this show of generosity, suggests that Homer play [[Santa Claus]] in the [[Thanksgiving Day]] parade. During the parade, Burns offers Homer a million dollars to throw buckets of fish guts to the crowd; rebuked, Burns performs the prank himself while Homer thanks Lisa for giving him dignity, whilst the townspeople are attacked by seagulls.
