Chalmers
Well, Seymour, I made it.
Skinner
Ah, Superintendent Chalmers, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!
Chalmers
Yeah.

Skinner runs to the kitchen, only to find his clams are delightful.

Skinner
GASP!
Skinner
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.

Chalmers
SEYYYYMOUUURR!!!!!
Skinner
SUPERINTENDENT! I was just...uh...stretching my calves on the windowsill! Isometric exercise, care to join me?
Chalmers
Why is there steam coming out of your oven, Seymour?
Skinner
Uh, ooh, it's STEAM! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. MMM! Steamed clams!

Chalmers leaves the kitchen.

Skinner
Whew.

Skinner continues to stretch his calves on the windowsill.

Skinner
Superintendent, I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering steamed clams!
Chalmers
I thought we we're having steamed clams.
Skinner
Oh no, I said "steamed clams" that's what I call steamed clams.
Chalmers
You call steamed clams "steamed clams"?
Skinner
Yes! It's a regional dialect.
Chalmers
Uh-huh. What region?
Skinner
Albany.
Chalmers
Really. Well I'm from Utica and I've heard anyone use the phrase "steamed clams"
Skinner
Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.
Chalmers
I see.

Chalmers takes a bite out of his steamed clam, and then inspects it.

Chalmers
You know, these clams are quite steamed.
Skinner
Hohoho, yes! Patented Skinner Clams! Oooold family recipe!
Chalmers
...For steamed clams.
Skinner
Yes!
Chalmers
Yes, and you call them steamed clams despite the fact that they're obviously steamed.
Skinner
Y- Uh. You know, th-
Skinner
One thing I should-
Skinner
...Excuse me for one second.
Chalmers
Of course.

Skinner enters the kitchen and then immediately leaves upon noticing the kitchen is steaming.

Skinner
(YAWN!) Well, that was wonderful! Good time was had by all, I'm pooped!
Chalmers
Yes, I should be-
Chalmers
GOOD LORD, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE???
Skinner
It's steam.
Chalmers
Steam
Chalmers
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR??
Chalmers
AT THIS TIME OF DAY???
Chalmers
LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN??!?
Skinner
Yes!
Chalmers
Chalmers
...May I see it?
Skinner
Skinner
No.

Skinner and Chalmers exit the house.

Michael Bloomberg
SEYMOUR! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
Skinner
No, Bloomberg, It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams!
Chalmers
Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... You steam a good clam.

Chalmers walks away from the house.

Skinner

  • Skinner was conducting isometric exercises.

  • 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 falsely says that the steam in his kitchen is Steam.
    • He later makes the same mistake when yelling at Bloomberg.
