Lindsey Naegle My four words are: "The Sands of Space".
Polystar Executive - Confused Krusty's old Hollywood flick? Why would you bring up that travesty of a film?
Lindsey Naegle - Happy It checks all the boxes. It's an outer space drama, with a cutting-edge score and we can reboot it into a trilogy.
Polystar Executive - Eye Roll Forget it, I'm not working with that clown again. We don't own the rights to that picture anyway.
Lindsey Naegle That's why we buy Krustylu Studios.

Bart - Confused It's me, Bart Simpson. I got you exonerated when Sideshow Bob framed you.
Krusty - Confused It's not ringing any bells.
Bart - Annoyed I helped convince you to become a television clown again after you faked your own death.
Krusty - Annoyed Wait a minute...you're the kid who exposed my tax evasion that led me to faking my own death!

Polystar Executive I'll get right to the point. We want to reboot "The Sands of Space".
Krusty - Eye Roll What a buncha schmucks! That movie was a total flop.
Polystar Executive Our research shows that after enough time has passed viewers will become nostalgic over anything, even movies they hate.
Krusty - Sad I couldn't handle watching The Sands of Space die all over again. It's my baby.
Polystar Executive - Happy We're prepared to make you a handsome offer to change your mind.
