To agree to both, he would spend his time at the party for thirty minutes. Dancing, falling in love, eating a Tofu dog, and when he comes back, he has one minute to spare, only to realize he locked Hans Moleman inside.

The most he could get was an already done coloring book. His father gets angry, taking Milhouse away without going to the bathroom.

Thinking it's him, it turns out to be Milhouse and his father Kirk. Herman lets Milhouse to use the bathroom. Kirk waits patiently, not knowing what is going on. Ignoring the cries for help, he changes the subject for Herman. Soon, a gun is in his face, but he, Snake and Wiggum are saved by Milhouse who used a weapon that he found, hitting Herman and knocking him out, getting a chance for them to escape. Big question I had with this one was, how fast did Milhouse go the bathroom???

This episode is pretty fun, and yes they throw around a lot of Pulp fiction scenes, mostly with Wiggum, but it's still a good episode for even back then. If it was in my top 20, it would either be eleven or twelve.
