 Homer was skeptical about the translator idea and reluctant to loan Herb any money, but [[Marge]], [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] convinced him to give Herb's idea a chance. After spending hours working with [[Maggie]], Herb built a prototype translator and demonstrated it for the family. When Maggie babbled, the translator said that she wanted attention and entertainment and then translated Maggie's babbles as Lisa played Peek-A-Boo with her. Homer was still doubtful about the translator, but the other family members were impressed and Marge said that every mother in the country was going to want one.
-Herb then took his prototype translator to a baby convention, where it proved to be a big hit and brought in so many orders that Herb made his fortune back. Afterwards, Herb paid Homer back the $2,000 he had borrowed and gave gifts to Marge, Bart and Lisa (when the translator said that Maggie wanted what the dog was eating, Herb promised to get her something nice). As for Homer, Herb forgave him, said that Homer could call him "brother" again, and gave him the [[Spinemelter 2000]] vibrating chair that he had originally wanted to spend the money on.

 == History ==
-Herb tried to invent something that would make him rich again so he decides to invent a translator for babies. Since Herb had no money, Herb asked [[Homer]] if he could have $2,000. After Herb managed to build a working model, he showed it off and got a lot of money for it. Since Homer gave him the money, Homer got $2,000 and a [[Spine Melter 2000]].
+After losing his [[Powell Motors|car company]] due to the [[The Homer|unsaleable car]] that [[Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?|Homer designed]], Herb lived as a bum for a time. Still optimistic, however, he said that all a man really needed to make it was an idea. When Herb saw a young mother in a park struggling to figure out what her baby wanted, Herb had his idea: to make a device that would translate baby talk into regular speech. Herb told his fellow bums about the idea, and they pointed out that even with the idea, he was still a bum. Herb realized that he also needed money to get his idea off the ground. When Herb saw a newspaper headline saying that Homer had won a $2,000 award at [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|work]], he decided to pay the [[Simpson family]] a visit and ask Homer for a loan.
