Ah, Superintendent Chalmers, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!
Yeah.
Skinner runs to the kitchen, only to find his clams are delightful.
GASP!
Oh, ye Gods! My clams are delightful! But what if I were to stretch my calves on the windowsill? Hohoho, Delightfully devilish, Seymour!
He begins to stretch my calves on the windowsill, but Chalmers enters the kitchen.
SEYYYYMOUUURR!!!!!
SUPERINTENDENT! I was just...uh...stretching my calves on the windowsill! Isometric exercise, care to join me?
Why is there steam coming out of your oven, Seymour?
Uh, ooh, it's STEAM! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. MMM! Steamed clams!
Chalmers leaves the kitchen.
Whew.
Skinner continues to stretch his calves on the windowsill.
Superintendent, I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering steamed clams!
I thought we we're having steamed clams.
Oh no, I said "steamed clams" that's what I call steamed clams.
You call steamed clams "steamed clams"?
Yes! It's a regional dialect.
Uh-huh. What region?
Albany.
Really. Well I'm from Utica and I've heard anyone use the phrase "steamed clams"
Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.
I see.
Chalmers takes a bite out of his steamed clam, and then inspects it.
You know, these clams are quite steamed.
Hohoho, yes! Patented Skinner Clams! Oooold family recipe!
...For steamed clams.
Yes!
Yes, and you call them steamed clams despite the fact that they're obviously steamed.
Y- Uh. You know, th-
One thing I should-
...Excuse me for one second.
Of course.
Skinner enters the kitchen and then immediately leaves upon noticing the kitchen is steaming.
(YAWN!) Well, that was wonderful! Good time was had by all, I'm pooped!
Yes, I should be-
GOOD LORD, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE???
It's steam.
Steam
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR??
AT THIS TIME OF DAY???
LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN??!?
Yes!
...May I see it?
No.
Skinner and Chalmers exit the house.
SEYMOUR! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
No, Bloomberg, It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams!
Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... You steam a good clam.
Chalmers walks away from the house.

Goofs
Skinner was conducting isometric exercises.
Skinner erroneously calls steam steam.
Skinner claims that clams are in the oven; there was visibly steamed clams inside earlier.
Skinner clarifies he said "steamed clams" instead of "steamed clams", but listening back proves he truly said the latter.
Skinner elucidates that "steamed clams" is a phrase used in Albany, New York, but this is the case.
Skinner describes the steamed clams as patented Skinner Clamsâan old family recipeâcontradicting the fact that he was seen stretching his calves on the windowsill.
Skinner declares the clams as steamed, but they are illustrated as having steam marks.
Skinner falsely says that the steam in his kitchen is Steam.
He later makes the same mistake when yelling at Bloomberg.
