-The zookeeper asked the audience to welcome the new panda, Sim-Sim, and they applauded. Homer as Sim-Sim emerged from his cave, and then, coached by Burns, started dancing the {{w|Lindy Hop}}. Homer's dancing was so energetic that the zookeeper called for trainers to "calm her down" with electrical prods. As the trainers repeatedly zapped Homer with their prods, the zookeeper assured the audience that "Because of their thick, thick hides, pandas only feel the slightest tickle from these powerful electric shocks." Homer, however, lacking a panda's thick hide, felt the full jolt of the shocks and screamed in pain, but his screams went unheard as they were muffled by the panda suit. At one point, Homer made a "no more" gesture to one of the trainers, but she said, "Oh, she's saying 'I love you'", which drew more cheers from the audience. The shocks continued to the point where smoke was billowing out from the eyeholes of Homer's panda suit and Homer collapsed from the pain. [[Lisa]], watching from the audience, became concerned and said, "Something's wrong. Terribly wrong!"

The zookeeper said, "With any luck, these two will become very, very close, if you know what I mean." As Ping-Ping advanced on him, Homer called for help from Mr. Burns, but Burns just kept laughing as he watched from behind the scenes. Homer then tried to run away from Ping-Ping, but he tripped and ended up sprawled over a rock with his behind in the air, which to a panda signifies readiness to mate. The zookeeper noticed Homer's position and said, "Oh, look, she's presenting! We thought this would take years to happen!" Ping-Ping took Homer up on the inadvertent offer, grabbed Homer by the costume's hind legs, and started dragging him to his cave, to screams from Homer and loud cheers and whistles from the audience. The zookeeper pressed a button on the remote he was holding, and the framework's curtain (with a graphic reading "SHHH! Pandas Need Their Sleep!") came down, covering the viewing area as Homer kept screaming and the sounds of a struggle continued. The zookeeper said, "Ping-Ping just asked Sim-Sim to marry him, and I think she just said yes", which drew still more applause from the audience. Homer made one last try to get away and actually got halfway out from behind the curtain. However, Ping-Ping quickly pulled him back inside, in spite of Homer's digging his costume's claws into the ground in a futile attempt to stay out of Ping-Ping's clutches. [[Moe]], in the audience watching the spectacle, said, "Ha! You ain't goin' nowhere, cutie."
