Sideshow Bob: My name is Robert Terwilliger, your new director. Complete transparency…I'm a convicted felon.
Airshot: Convicted of what?
Sideshow Bob: Faking my own death, rigging an election, a bunch of attempted murders…
Krusty: Don't forget the time you tried to frame me for robbery.
Airshot: And you want this guy to direct your movie?
Sideshow Bob: Would you rather star in a flop directed by Krusty, or in a blockbuster hit directed by a hardened criminal?
Moby Man: My agent said I'm one flop away from hosting game shows, so I choose the criminal!
Sideshow Bob: Alas, I can not change my past, but I can forge a new future. Your futures. For the better. Now, are there any objections before we begin?
Homer: Just one… Are you going to try and kill Bart again?
Sideshow Bob: If there's time. Now, let's take this scene from the top.

Hydrangea: Well, sometimes Magnesium Man takes my lunch, even though my name is clearly written on it.
Sideshow Bob: Good! Imagine that the Pain Lords are actually Magnesium Man coming for your lunch. It's up to you to stop him. And…action!
Hydrangea: If you want this Love Gem, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers you human filth!
Sideshow Bob: Cut! That was terrific.
Magnesium Man: *eating Hydrangea's lunch* Yeah, great job, Hydrangea.
Hydrangea: Leave. My. Lunch. Alone! *tackles Magnesium Man*
Krusty: Magnesium Man and Hydrangea are fighting on set? We need to stop them!

Quetzelica: I guess deep down I'm still that scared little girl who couldn't help her sister when she needed it most.
Black Voodoo: You're a stronger person now, and I know you won't let us down.
Sideshow Bob: Cut! Quetzelica, I need to see tears in this scene. The audience should be mourning your self-doubt.
Sideshow Bob: And Black Voodoo, don't rush it. We want to feel the tension before we know your true feelings. Now, take it from the top.
Krusty: Wow, Bob, how did you become such a good director?
Sideshow Bob: Working the Krusty Show helped, but it wasn't until prison that I learned how to remove hesitancy. Now I see a vision and just go for it.

Sideshow Bob: Attention all! It's time for our big helicopter scene. We only get one shot at this, so let's give it our best.
Bart: Whoa, mama! That thing is awesome!
Sideshow Bob: Hands off. The military is lending us their prototype for promotional purposes only.
The General: This is the Ultra RX Kill-O-Bird 5000. It costs two hundred million taxpayer dollars.
Bart: Why risk it in a movie?
The General: Son, putting high-tech military machinery on the big screen is the greatest recruitment tool we have.
The General: Why, if I let you fly this puppy, I'll bet you'd want to join the Air Force!
Bart: Damn straight, I would!
Marge: Excuse me, that's my son, and he's a minor.

Sideshow Bob: And here's an ending for your movie: the convicted felon flies off into the sunset.
Bart: Wait, you're leaving without even trying to kill me?

Chinnos: We just lost our director! How will I know what motivations to use?
Airshot: Who's going to tell me I did a great job after each scene even when I didn't?
Moby Man: And how will I know whether the camera is picking up my muscle definition?
Black Voodoo: Pfft, we all know those muscles are implants.
Moby Man: You take that back!
Black Voodoo: Only when you take that six pack back to the plastic surgeon!
Bart: The crew is tearing itself apart. It looks like your movie is once again a mess, Krusty.

Polystar Executive: Yes, but you went over budget. Now we can place the blame squarely on you and Polystar Pictures gets to save face.

Polystar Executive: Yep. So congratulations on making a real stinker.
Krusty: Congratulations?! My reputation is ruined!
