Chalkboard Joke: I will never yell immigrant when I see again.

The show begins.

(Mr. Burns and Smithers are in Mr. Burns' office.

Mr. Burns: Smithers, my financial status is not good, and I need to do something about it.

Smithers: May I suggest firing some employees, to secure the plant's income, enabling you to get more?

Burns: NO, you idiot! Something television related, an actor, a host...

Smithers: How about creating a television show?

Burns: Yes, good idea Smithers.

Smithers: You could make your own show...how about, Who Wants To Be a Trillionaire?

Burns: Excellent.

Smithers: I have an idea sir, how about if you steal back that Trillion dollar bill from Cuba, that gave to Castro.

Burns: Smithers, if this plan works...I owe you a coke.

(Back at house) (Homer is watching TV, when a special news bulletin appears)

Kent Brockman: There is a special announcement that Springfield Billionaire, Monty Burns has just notified us of. Every worker at the Nuclear Power Plant will have their names put into a lottery, and the winner will compete for One Trillion Dollars, on Mr. Burns' new television show, Who Wants To Be A Trillionaire! Regis Philbinis scheduled to be the host.

Homer: Hey, I work at the plant, that means that i'll be in the lottery.

Marge: Homer, do you know what the odds of winning are? There fifty thousand to one!!!

Homer: Woo-hoo!!!

(The next day at the Nuclear Plant)

Lenny: Hey Homer, did you hear about that lottery thing going on today.

Homer: Yep, heard it on the trusty television. Marge said the odds are fifty-thousand to one. I like my chances.

Lenny: Uh Homer, do you know what that means?

Homer: Yeah, it means that my name would turn up fifty thousand times.

Lenny: Not exactly Homer, it means that if they picked a name fifty thousand times, you would win once!

Homer: D'OH!

(Burns' office)

Burns: Well Smithers, it's time for the lottery, do you have the box.

Smithers: Yes sir, i'll shake it.

(Smithers shakes it)
