{{TB|All right students, as you know assemblies mean I have dispiriting news.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|Government funding is better for sports than academics, so we are now focusing on that. Seems the teachers that always wore sweat pants were ahead of the curve.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Scared}}
{{TB|Sports? I’m allergic to those. And dust. And cotton. And my own hair.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|This isn’t easy for any of us. I have to attend a seminar on the proper operation of a whistle.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|What if there’s an exam at the end?!}}

{{TB|I now have a whole new relationship with sports. It’s based on mutual respect!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|It’s still school. Haven't you noticed “Coach” Largo is waving a baton?}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|But my shots are going in. That’s a thing my shots don't normally do!}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|Don’t forget to check out the store, where a fine selection of limited time sports items are now available!}}

{{Table|

{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|Milhouse, you’re really enjoying basketball. You remind me of me when I first discovered the joy of following rules.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|I love the swish sound when the ball goes in the net. Reminds me of the sound my legs make when I wear corduroy pants.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|How odd. Anyway, we acquired an outdoor court. For half price - it's a half-court.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Excited}}
{{TB|This is great! I feel like Dr. J! Not the player, my "private talks" doctor. He plays in a league with other therapists!}}

{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I can’t believe you get special treatment 'cause you’re good at basketball. It’s almost like this school doesn't appreciate pranking at all.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|You could join me. You know, like how up until now I’ve done everything you want?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Please. Our relationship is based on your blind obedience. That’s why it works.}}

{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Excited}}
{{TB|Hey Bart, did you change your mind? Who's that guy?}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon}}
{{TB|This blue-haired, weak-eyed, quiver-voiced kid is who you’ve been bragging about?!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Sneaky}}
{{TB|Milhouse, this is Anger Watkins, a famous sports reporter with an even more famous short temper. He wants to watch you. Don’t be nervous because he’s totally judging you.}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon}}
{{TB|I’m judging you, this school, and even those clouds. You call that cumulonimbus? Please! I find better fluff in my navel after wearing a wool sweater. Now shoot the ball, four eyes!}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Milhouse Practice Very Nervously|2 hours|the [[Outdoor Half-Court]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon}}
{{TB|I've been covering basketball a long time, but I'm not even sure how to describe this pathetic display.}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I need to go home, heat up some canned ravioli, and then sit down and write an apology note to my eyes for making them watch this garbage! I can already tell this is going to be a four stress ball night!}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|Angry sportscaster Anger Watkins can now be purchased from the store!}}

=== Pt. 4 ===
{{Table|

{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Bart, why would you do this?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|I thought a famous sportscaster mocking you would be funny. And, I’m proud to say, my instincts were right. You should be happy for me.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|I finally found something that made me feel good and then you made me feel bad about it.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Scared}}
{{TB|Wow! I think… I think… I think I’m about to stand up for myself.}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Milhouse Fight Bart|4 hours|the [[Outdoor Half-Court]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{THT|After starting the job|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|I can't believe it! The blue-haired boy has attacked his friend with the same level of intense fury I use to brush my teeth.}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|The foundations of their friendship have been hit with an explosion of anger that seems to have simmered longer than a well-made tomato sauce!}}
{{Tapped Out Anger Watkins Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I see now I may be somewhat responsible for this. I need a diversion so the guilt can’t sink in. How about some road rage? That always works!}}
{{THT|After finishing the task|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|OK Milhouse, it took being punched in the guts to realize I may have been wrong. I'm sorry. I was jealous of how good you were at b-ball.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|I prefer if you call it “my mad hoop skills”. But I forgive you. Van Houtens can’t hold grudges, or in my Dad’s case, jobs.}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|Does Bart ever give basketball a chance? Is Anger Watkins even a real character? Tune in to The Simpsons this Sunday 8/7C on FOX!}}
