[4/13/2015 11:53:41 PM] Rebecca: hmmmmmm i see (the wheels are turning lol) they could have broken up, but still cared for each other a lot and remained close friends, but when waylon sr. and his wife get together, mr burns is like really jealous and resentful [4/13/2015 11:53:57 PM] Rebecca: lol yeah i remember that "this was as half baked as your idea of me having children" [4/13/2015 11:54:01 PM] Rebecca: brush with greatness [4/13/2015 11:54:32 PM] SchemingMinor: Yeah. I think the only reason why Smither Sr. had a wife was it was the 1950s [4/13/2015 11:54:41 PM] SchemingMinor: They had to keep up appearances. [4/13/2015 11:54:46 PM] SchemingMinor: But then he actually fell in love with her [4/13/2015 11:56:23 PM] Rebecca: kinda the opposite of what happened to waylon jr in secrets of a successful marriage, where he tried getting married and staying with a woman but it 100% didn't work out [4/13/2015 11:56:54 PM] SchemingMinor: both for appearances and to hide their sexuality. A lavender marrage as it is called [4/13/2015 11:57:03 PM] SchemingMinor: But in this case Sr. is bisexual [4/13/2015 11:57:30 PM] SchemingMinor: I could see Burns grow incresingly bitter and agitated but not hating him outright. [4/13/2015 11:57:41 PM] SchemingMinor: Especially after the birth of Jr. [4/13/2015 11:58:13 PM] SchemingMinor: Like I could see Burns ask Smithers to spend one last night with him for old times sakes. [4/14/2015 12:00:50 AM] SchemingMinor: I had this scenario [4/14/2015 12:01:13 AM] SchemingMinor: Like during a Christmas Party Smithers Sr. asks Burns to join them before their break [4/14/2015 12:01:40 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns just sits in the office going over the books. Contimplating, trying to hide his recent bitterness [4/14/2015 12:02:09 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers will have a son soon, this will be the first Christmas that he doesn't spend with Burns [4/14/2015 12:02:18 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns is just steaming [4/14/2015 12:02:36 AM] SchemingMinor: So Smithers asks him to join the party and join them. [4/14/2015 12:02:53 AM] Rebecca: (finally saw the pic hahaha i have seen that before >_> their hair really is backwards haha) [4/14/2015 12:02:55 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns mutters under his breath, silent. Smithers knows what is going on. [4/14/2015 12:03:14 AM] Rebecca: that sounds pretty realistic tbh, mr. burns is very possessive [4/14/2015 12:03:43 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns decides that he would rather have a private party. [4/14/2015 12:03:47 AM] SchemingMinor: Just him and Smithers. [4/14/2015 12:03:53 AM] SchemingMinor: He asks for one last night. [4/14/2015 12:04:45 AM] SchemingMinor: Next morning he's wrapped in Smither's fur coat and outside, staring off into the distance. He growls "I gave you off isn't that good enough for you!?" [4/14/2015 12:04:56 AM] SchemingMinor: So much tension. [4/14/2015 12:05:04 AM] SchemingMinor: The lovemaking was bittersweet. [4/14/2015 12:05:17 AM] SchemingMinor: Another reason why he hates Christmas [4/14/2015 12:08:21 AM] Rebecca: i wonder if the blunder years was the first time mr. burns met waylon jr. or if he had met him before [4/14/2015 12:08:39 AM] Rebecca: like i wonder if he was so resentful based on your headcanons that if he like refused to visit him? [4/14/2015 12:08:43 AM] Rebecca: or if he did anyway [4/14/2015 12:08:49 AM] SchemingMinor: I think he may have grown irritated with Smithers Sr. bringing him there. [4/14/2015 12:08:57 AM] SchemingMinor: Like first off he hates kids [4/14/2015 12:09:12 AM] SchemingMinor: second off it may be that Smithers Sr. was bringing him there all the time [4/14/2015 12:09:15 AM] Rebecca: same XD you get that vibe even just from that scene in the episode [4/14/2015 12:09:23 AM] Rebecca: plus, yeah, he hates kids

After the Kinsey Interview...

[4/14/2015 11:46:59 PM] Rebecca: but yeah i wonder if it became a source of tension for them after a while [4/14/2015 11:47:33 PM] SchemingMinor: the interview? [4/14/2015 11:47:43 PM] Rebecca: yeah [4/14/2015 11:47:43 PM] SchemingMinor: It could have very well be. [4/14/2015 11:47:51 PM] Rebecca: if smithers wanted to be more honest but burns kept shushing him [4/14/2015 11:48:05 PM | Edited 11:48:16 PM] SchemingMinor: They wanted to keep a private life, but their curiosity in knowledge made them paranoid? [4/14/2015 11:48:39 PM] SchemingMinor: And they were probably a bit scared knowing that information was out there [4/14/2015 11:48:54 PM] SchemingMinor: but it didn't bother them all too much [4/14/2015 11:49:10 PM] SchemingMinor: I think it may have been the trust issues. [4/14/2015 11:49:52 PM] SchemingMinor: Like Burns didn't entirely wanted Smithers to tell them what was going on, but Smithers wanted to be more humble about the interview [4/14/2015 11:50:17 PM] SchemingMinor: And Smithers had to calm Burns' fear. [4/14/2015 11:50:34 PM] SchemingMinor: He knew Burns was fightened but Burns doesn't outright show it. [4/14/2015 11:50:41 PM] SchemingMinor: Instead Burns yells. [4/14/2015 11:50:55 PM] SchemingMinor: He usually yells when he is frustrated.

[4/14/2015 11:51:33 PM] SchemingMinor: Like I could see them trying to become intimate after the interview and Burns keeps pushing him away[4/14/2015 11:52:31 PM] Rebecca: yeah i bet maybe he would be so paranoid about someone finding out that the idea wouldn't leave his head so right after he was still feeling really uncomfortable about it [4/14/2015 11:52:44 PM | Edited 11:53:55 PM] SchemingMinor: Kind of reminds me of Marge and Homer at the end of Bart gets hit by a car with the trust issues [4/14/2015 11:53:08 PM | Edited 11:53:36 PM] SchemingMinor: Like if Burns tries to supress the feelings with more work [4/14/2015 11:53:19 PM] SchemingMinor: And then their sex life starts to suffer [4/14/2015 11:54:58 PM] SchemingMinor: It suffers so much that Smithers tries so much to seduce him during work [4/14/2015 11:55:16 PM] SchemingMinor: he tries to embody that dangerous element of public sex [4/14/2015 11:55:32 PM] Rebecca: especially interesting tactic with mr. burns having the public places kink [4/14/2015 11:55:52 PM | Edited 11:56:22 PM] SchemingMinor: Like first it happens in private quarters but then he notices that Burns is not responding, so then he ups the ante to try something on his level [4/14/2015 11:56:04 PM] SchemingMinor: And Burns gets even more paranoid [4/14/2015 11:56:36 PM] SchemingMinor: Like a full on grab in the hallway. [4/14/2015 11:56:55 PM] SchemingMinor: Burns grabs his tie and almost slaps him [4/14/2015 11:57:10 PM] SchemingMinor: Their signals get mixed [4/14/2015 11:57:45 PM] SchemingMinor: And At that time I think Smithers realizes that they need to do something fast [4/15/2015 12:00:23 AM | Edited 12:00:31 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers being stern yet humble has no clue what to do since it is out of his element. He's a bit bold but this being the 1950s he has to figure out how to salvage Burns from overworking himself. [4/15/2015 12:01:39 AM] Rebecca: yeah like even if not to save the relationship just to save mr burns from burning himself out [4/15/2015 12:02:28 AM] SchemingMinor: I think he notices when Burns starts to transform every conversation into power plant outputs and financial loopholes [4/15/2015 12:02:38 AM] SchemingMinor: Like Burns is shaking visibly [4/15/2015 12:02:51 AM] Rebecca: deny, deny, deny, change the subject, but you can tell he's stressing out about it [4/15/2015 12:02:59 AM] SchemingMinor: His writing is hurried and scribbled. [4/15/2015 12:03:14 AM] SchemingMinor: He downs coffee after coffee [4/15/2015 12:03:41 AM] SchemingMinor: every time Smithers tries to take him away, it work for a second until he goes back to the books [4/15/2015 12:04:08 AM] SchemingMinor: I think Smithers snaps [4/15/2015 12:04:23 AM] SchemingMinor: And he yells, throwing all of the papers and charts to the ground. [4/15/2015 12:04:34 AM] SchemingMinor: He wrecks the entire workspace [4/15/2015 12:04:41 AM] SchemingMinor: Shouting at Burns. [4/15/2015 12:04:47 AM] SchemingMinor: He can see it is not working. [4/15/2015 12:05:07 AM] SchemingMinor: So he grabs Burns' shaking hands, and presses them to his cheeks [4/15/2015 12:05:40 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns just stares. He has that yard long stare [4/15/2015 12:06:08 AM] SchemingMinor: He keeps telling Smithers that everything needs to be on time because time is always money. [4/15/2015 12:06:21 AM] SchemingMinor: And if they get ahead of the curve they will make record profits [4/15/2015 12:07:24 AM] SchemingMinor: Like Burns loses touch with himself [4/15/2015 12:07:45 AM] SchemingMinor: And not only does Smithers fears for his health and their relationship, but he misses Burns. [4/15/2015 12:10:33 AM] SchemingMinor: I kind of wonder how he tries to get him back though [4/15/2015 12:10:48 AM] SchemingMinor: Like does he take him out on a date? Plays music? Goes through memories? [4/15/2015 12:12:00 AM] Rebecca: yeah like try to take him to a favourite place or something? [4/15/2015 12:12:25 AM] SchemingMinor: Hmm. [4/15/2015 12:12:49 AM] SchemingMinor: maybe the first place where they had their date [4/15/2015 12:12:59 AM] SchemingMinor: or the overlook at Springfield [4/15/2015 12:13:39 AM] SchemingMinor: I think the first couple of tries may not work but Smithers Sr. notices that Burns is starting to snap out of it. [4/15/2015 12:13:44 AM] Rebecca: like the place where artie takes marge after the prom? [4/15/2015 12:13:49 AM] SchemingMinor: perhaps [4/15/2015 12:13:56 AM] SchemingMinor: Makeout Mountain was it? [4/15/2015 12:14:00 AM] Rebecca: something like that lol [4/15/2015 12:14:36 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns mentions something how all of that electricity is his work fueling their homes and that he needs to increase production. [4/15/2015 12:14:47 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers says that they are leeching off of him [4/15/2015 12:15:00 AM] SchemingMinor: Something among those lines [4/15/2015 12:15:11 AM] SchemingMinor: He tries to steer the conversation away from work [4/15/2015 12:15:45 AM] SchemingMinor: And I think he gets frustrated and shouts, LOOK THAT IS YOU. THAT IS MONTY BURNS [4/15/2015 12:15:51 AM] SchemingMinor: ALL OF THAT [4/15/2015 12:15:54 AM] SchemingMinor: MONTY BURNS [4/15/2015 12:15:59 AM] SchemingMinor: NOT THE PLANT [4/15/2015 12:16:01 AM] SchemingMinor: YOU [4/15/2015 12:16:30 AM] SchemingMinor: THIS IS OUR DREAM [4/15/2015 12:16:37 AM] SchemingMinor: WE DID THIS [4/15/2015 12:16:40 AM | Edited 12:16:47 AM] SchemingMinor: something like that [4/15/2015 12:19:00 AM] Rebecca: i could maybe see smithers standing up for himself and giving burns an ultimatum [4/15/2015 12:19:16 AM] SchemingMinor: Yeah [4/15/2015 12:19:33 AM] SchemingMinor: Or he forgets that Burns is squeemish to emotions and starts to silently cry [4/15/2015 12:19:54 AM] SchemingMinor: and that snaps Burns out of his haze. [4/15/2015 12:20:00 AM] SchemingMinor: Like what ultimatium? [4/15/2015 12:23:07 AM] Rebecca: i guess just like "ok are we still a couple or not" [4/15/2015 12:23:27 AM] Rebecca: "cuz if we're not then that's kind of important and a big problem" [4/15/2015 12:24:20 AM] Rebecca: i bet smithers would be very fed up by now [4/15/2015 12:24:34 AM] Rebecca: he's tried and tried but you know burns he would not hardly even budge [4/15/2015 12:24:41 AM] Rebecca: doesn't let on his emotions or anything [4/15/2015 12:24:43 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns probably just stares [4/15/2015 12:24:54 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers is unsure if he reached him or not [4/15/2015 12:25:09 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns probably mutters something. [4/15/2015 12:25:15 AM] SchemingMinor: Like atom bomb [4/15/2015 12:25:22 AM] SchemingMinor: or study parlor [4/15/2015 12:25:38 AM] SchemingMinor: Oh wait! [4/15/2015 12:25:44 AM] SchemingMinor: Project Teacup [4/15/2015 12:25:50 AM] SchemingMinor: Like in my outline [4/15/2015 12:26:07 AM] SchemingMinor: And Smithers asks him to repeat himself [4/15/2015 12:26:48 AM] SchemingMinor: And Monty does. Then it hits Smithers. He is curious [4/15/2015 12:26:58 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns is mentioning the place that they first met [4/15/2015 12:27:04 AM | Edited 12:27:12 AM] SchemingMinor: and perhaps fell in love [4/15/2015 12:27:22 AM] SchemingMinor: Or he could mention Springfield University [4/15/2015 12:27:27 AM] SchemingMinor: and wants to take him there [4/15/2015 12:27:52 AM] Rebecca: i think if they did work together on something like project teacup that could explain a difference in the dynamic between those two and waylon jr [4/15/2015 12:28:04 AM] Rebecca: cuz like if they met on a project like that, they started as equals [4/15/2015 12:28:11 AM] Rebecca: but waylon jr has always been his assistant, below him [4/15/2015 12:28:25 AM] SchemingMinor: Well in the fic, Burns was a benefactor [4/15/2015 12:28:37 AM] SchemingMinor: He started lording his power over the scientists [4/15/2015 12:28:43 AM] SchemingMinor: Waylon got fed up [4/15/2015 12:28:56 AM] Rebecca: oh right i remember reading something like he just bought his way through everything [4/15/2015 12:29:08 AM] Rebecca: and just used his funding to get himself in everywhere [4/15/2015 12:29:11 AM] SchemingMinor: And he found out that Burns lied about the physics degree [4/15/2015 12:29:24 AM] SchemingMinor: But they clashed. [4/15/2015 12:29:48 AM | Edited 12:30:09 AM] SchemingMinor: I think that clashing dynamic is what made him harbor respect, and the same one that brings him back to earth [4/15/2015 12:29:59 AM] SchemingMinor: Like after Burns overworks himself [4/15/2015 12:30:34 AM] Rebecca: (right so nvm that previous comment then lol) [4/15/2015 12:31:15 AM] SchemingMinor: But Waylon's emotions probably bubble to the surface and it makes Burns uncomfortable. [4/15/2015 12:31:20 AM] SchemingMinor: But not entirely. [4/15/2015 12:31:38 AM] SchemingMinor: Somehow he seems like these emotions don;t bother him as much as one from a stranger [4/15/2015 12:32:46 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns probably grinds out, "good heavens. Stop your blubbering." [4/15/2015 12:33:14 AM] SchemingMinor: but it could go either way [4/15/2015 12:33:51 AM] SchemingMinor: Like they watch the lights over Springfield and make small talk together [4/15/2015 12:34:16 AM] SchemingMinor: And it slowly starts to remind Burns of that first time he returned after the war. [4/15/2015 12:34:33 AM] SchemingMinor: And they stared at the town trying to plot where the plant goes [4/15/2015 12:36:16 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns finally says [4/15/2015 12:36:22 AM] SchemingMinor: So this is us. [4/15/2015 12:39:04 AM] SchemingMinor: Like Waylon could mention [4/15/2015 12:39:10 AM] SchemingMinor: I brought us something [4/15/2015 12:39:21 AM] SchemingMinor: And he goes to the car and brings out the lunchbox [4/15/2015 12:39:35 AM | Edited 12:40:15 AM] SchemingMinor: flips it open and hands Burns a letter in an envalope [4/15/2015 12:39:44 AM] SchemingMinor: The letter is heavy and new [4/15/2015 12:42:44 AM] SchemingMinor: And he says in a dead pan tone [4/15/2015 12:43:58 AM] SchemingMinor: I was waiting for the right time to give you this and I don't think there will be any other moment you need this more than now [4/15/2015 12:49:05 AM] Rebecca: what's in there? a letter about how hurt he's feeling? a love confession letter? [4/15/2015 12:49:40 AM] SchemingMinor: Probably a letter about how he wants to become one [4/15/2015 12:49:56 AM] SchemingMinor: Like the fish. The middle eye is the union [4/15/2015 12:50:13 AM] SchemingMinor: Something about how they endured so much [4/15/2015 12:50:35 AM] SchemingMinor: Maybe there is something else. Like a ring. [4/15/2015 12:50:43 AM] SchemingMinor: An actual ring. [4/15/2015 12:50:47 AM] SchemingMinor: More discreet [4/15/2015 12:51:01 AM] Rebecca: not flashy like the ones the interviewer noticed before? [4/15/2015 12:51:04 AM] SchemingMinor: yeah [4/15/2015 12:51:21 AM] SchemingMinor: similar to an actual wedding band [4/15/2015 12:51:45 AM] SchemingMinor: They know they can never get married. It crosses their mind, but it is symbolic [4/15/2015 12:52:03 AM] SchemingMinor: Perhaps it is not a ring but a pin. Like an atom pin [4/15/2015 12:52:36 AM] SchemingMinor: Like what do you think it might be? [4/15/2015 12:53:38 AM | Edited 12:53:45 AM] SchemingMinor: Or what do you think happens? [4/15/2015 12:53:53 AM] Rebecca: a lapel pin would be cool. or a fancy pocket watch or something [4/15/2015 12:54:17 AM] SchemingMinor: I was thinking of the watch but then he had that woman in thatt one watch [4/15/2015 12:54:27 AM] Rebecca: oh tru [4/15/2015 12:54:35 AM] SchemingMinor: and I was like, eh I dunno. It's been done before [4/15/2015 12:54:41 AM] SchemingMinor: hmm [4/15/2015 12:54:46 AM] SchemingMinor: cuff links? [4/15/2015 12:54:59 AM] Rebecca: yeah maybe like with atom symbols on them or something [4/15/2015 12:55:01 AM] SchemingMinor: A ring may seem more symbolic [4/15/2015 12:55:04 AM] SchemingMinor: but yeah [4/15/2015 12:55:12 AM] SchemingMinor: And what do you think Burns would do? [4/15/2015 12:55:16 AM] Rebecca: although they do have the flashy rings already [4/15/2015 12:55:28 AM] Rebecca: hmm [4/15/2015 12:55:46 AM] Rebecca: would take him a long time to react maybe [4/15/2015 12:56:01 AM] Rebecca: like look down at the letter, look at the gift, look up at waylon, look down again [4/15/2015 12:56:04 AM] SchemingMinor: because of the shock? [4/15/2015 12:56:08 AM] Rebecca: yeah [4/15/2015 12:56:22 AM] SchemingMinor: Like Waylon wants to finalize their relationship [4/15/2015 12:56:31 AM] SchemingMinor: And it all starts to seep into Burns' mind [4/15/2015 12:57:02 AM] Rebecca: yeah like idk perhaps burns never thought of it as a serious thing until then? like even if he did maybe after deny, deny deny to the interviewers and stuff so long he kind of believed it in his own head [4/15/2015 12:57:15 AM] SchemingMinor: yeah [4/15/2015 12:57:32 AM] Rebecca: like most of burns's relationships have been just flings [4/15/2015 12:57:41 AM] SchemingMinor: Like he wanted a relationship but he was in denial that is was an actual relationship on equal footing like the ones he has with women [4/15/2015 12:57:48 AM] Rebecca: yeah [4/15/2015 12:57:50 AM] SchemingMinor: and that too [4/15/2015 12:58:24 AM] Rebecca: but then it kinda sinks in once he sees a physical reminder that waylon wants something serious, permanent [4/15/2015 12:58:30 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns probably mutters "You could have gotten me something more subtle like silver or ivory." [4/15/2015 12:58:39 AM] SchemingMinor: But he mutters it with a smile [4/15/2015 12:59:17 AM] SchemingMinor: Like the letter could not be a letter at all [4/15/2015 12:59:29 AM] SchemingMinor: It could just have a picture of the fish [4/15/2015 1:00:15 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns probably takes a pen out from his inner pocket and scribbles something on the page [4/15/2015 1:00:35 AM] SchemingMinor: He hands the letter back to Smithers [4/15/2015 1:00:46 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns drew a hook in the fish's mouth. [4/15/2015 1:01:12 AM] SchemingMinor: Well then. Waylon. What are you going to do with this catch? [4/15/2015 1:01:57 AM] SchemingMinor: And they become far more relaxed. The letter is like their modum of communication [4/15/2015 1:02:12 AM] SchemingMinor: like all night they pass the same letter amongst themselves. [4/15/2015 1:02:18 AM] SchemingMinor: doodling on that one page [4/15/2015 1:02:36 AM] Rebecca: i bet waylon would keep that page [4/15/2015 1:02:46 AM] Rebecca: i wonder if mr burns would come across it after waylon died [4/15/2015 1:02:49 AM] SchemingMinor: he totally would. Like in his wallet [4/15/2015 1:02:54 AM] SchemingMinor: hmm. [4/15/2015 1:03:20 AM] SchemingMinor: Maybe Burns gets frightened when he cannot find it in the box 30 years later [4/15/2015 1:03:24 AM] SchemingMinor: oh yeah [4/15/2015 1:03:36 AM] SchemingMinor: and the page starts to become humorous [4/15/2015 1:03:43 AM] SchemingMinor: and then...ribald [4/15/2015 1:03:52 AM] SchemingMinor: brb [4/15/2015 1:04:47 AM] Rebecca: lol i bet it so would. mr. burns would probably initiate the dirty stuff [4/15/2015 1:04:48 AM] Rebecca: ok [4/15/2015 1:08:45 AM] SchemingMinor: back [4/15/2015 1:08:51 AM] Rebecca: wb [4/15/2015 1:09:20 AM] SchemingMinor: Like the lunchbox is like a memento box filled with their intimate secrets and deployments of initiation [4/15/2015 1:09:43 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers probably spritzed the letter with cologne [4/15/2015 1:10:19 AM] SchemingMinor: he knows that Burns is probably into scents [4/15/2015 1:10:48 AM] SchemingMinor: Because scent is the most jarring of all of the sences when it comes to memory [4/15/2015 1:11:07 AM] SchemingMinor: Like how do you think Burns would initiate the ribaldness? [4/15/2015 1:11:11 AM] SchemingMinor: on the letter [4/15/2015 1:15:05 AM] Rebecca: hmm well if they kept on with the doodling thing maybe mr. burns starts it off but not like drawing weiners or anything, maybe something like an inside joke between the two of them that implies sex? and passes it back to waylon and he kinda raises his eyebrows and looks up and it snowballs from there [4/15/2015 1:15:32 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns draws an ankle [4/15/2015 1:15:40 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers gets it [4/15/2015 1:15:50 AM] SchemingMinor: It's like funny ribald. [4/15/2015 1:16:34 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns is so damn Victorian in his courtship rituals that Smithers starts chuckling [4/15/2015 1:16:52 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers probably writes in return. [4/15/2015 1:17:06 AM] SchemingMinor: Tonight, can I see the entire pantleg? [4/15/2015 1:17:44 AM | Edited 1:17:52 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns probably jests, Only up to the knee dear Waylon. Don't want to give you the vapors. [4/15/2015 1:17:50 AM] Rebecca: XDDDD [4/15/2015 1:18:17 AM] SchemingMinor: this Victorian courtship becomes this in-joke [4/15/2015 1:18:33 AM] SchemingMinor: and they probably start snowballing from there as you mention [4/15/2015 1:18:54 AM] SchemingMinor: Smithers starts drawing pictures of Burns in a dress [4/15/2015 1:19:31 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns passes it back showing Waylon in a dress with one side of the skirt raised. [4/15/2015 1:19:45 AM] SchemingMinor: and then it becomes far more ribald. [4/15/2015 1:19:52 AM] SchemingMinor: Like with quotes such as [4/15/2015 1:19:59 AM] SchemingMinor: You are such a cunning linguist. [4/15/2015 1:20:48 AM | Edited 1:21:19 AM] SchemingMinor: I fell for felliato [4/15/2015 1:21:26 AM] SchemingMinor: or something of the sorts [4/15/2015 1:21:32 AM] SchemingMinor: maybe something in Latin [4/15/2015 1:23:00 AM | Edited 1:23:30 AM] SchemingMinor: finally Smithers writes Let's go back to the car. But I won't be driving. [4/15/2015 1:36:30 AM | Edited 1:37:00 AM] SchemingMinor: Burns gets ready to shout because he thinks he has to drive them home but then he realizes what that means [4/15/2015 1:38:18 AM] Rebecca: they're still out in that secluded area right? [4/15/2015 1:38:25 AM] SchemingMinor: yeah. Makeout Point [4/15/2015 1:38:39 AM] SchemingMinor: Hopefully until probably next morning [4/15/2015 1:38:54 AM | Edited 1:39:01 AM] SchemingMinor: Then they would be throwing each others clothing on [4/15/2015 1:39:46 AM] Rebecca: maybe they stayed too late n they have to go right to work looking sloppy lol [4/15/2015 1:40:18 AM] SchemingMinor: Yeah [4/15/2015 1:40:36 AM] SchemingMinor: Or they notice the police officer pulling up when they wake up [4/15/2015 1:40:45 AM] SchemingMinor: And they throw on clothing [4/15/2015 1:40:54 AM] SchemingMinor: And Burns realizes that his shirt is too big [4/15/2015 1:41:07 AM] SchemingMinor: Waylon struggles with his coat [4/15/2015 1:41:14 AM] SchemingMinor: And they look like a mess [4/15/2015 1:43:17 AM] SchemingMinor: And they rush in work trying their best effort not to look disheveled [4/15/2015 1:43:35 AM] SchemingMinor: And the workers snicker. Burns threatens them all. [4/15/2015 1:44:24 AM] Rebecca: super obvious but everyone keeps their mouth shut after burns tells them off [4/15/2015 1:44:43 AM] SchemingMinor: Waylon is on their backs as double duty [4/15/2015 1:45:22 AM] SchemingMinor: But when Burns and Waylon pass each other in the halls during inspection, they can't help but snicker at each other

He drinks and plays records in the background. He locks himself in the office and doesn't budge. Not even for Smithers. [4/13/2015 11:14:04 PM] Rebecca: Hi everybody sorry about the computer problems [4/13/2015 11:14:06 PM] SchemingMinor: Smithers cannot figure out why he does this every year [4/13/2015 11:14:11 PM] SchemingMinor: no problem [4/13/2015 11:14:46 PM] Rebecca: I can totally believe Burns doing that on the anniversary of Waylon Sr's death [4/13/2015 11:14:48 PM] SchemingMinor: Burns drinks, cries and wails with the songs. [4/13/2015 11:14:59 PM] Rebecca: Also the burns handbook is one of the best things I ever bought [4/13/2015 11:15:04 PM] SchemingMinor: The unedited reel shows so much more.

He wanted to keep Sr. to himself. [4/13/2015 11:19:01 PM] twix: dang [4/13/2015 11:19:15 PM] twix: thats some real ish right there
