Homer then replies that if that was a real nuclear war The Simpsons would be dead meat. Homer then wakes up the family again and they are still unsuccessful in timing. Bart then wakes Homer up for a nuclear war drill and him, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie trap Homer in the basement and decide to let him out in the morning.
