Synopsis
Bart sees a commercial for a new video game, Bonestorm. Deciding he must have it, he attempts to buy it, have Marge and Homer buy it ("Buy me Bonestorm or go to Hell!), and rent it. When his endeavors fail, he tries to steal it from the local Try 'N' Save. But he's caught by store security man, Detective Brodka.
Brodka questions him in his office, and forbids Bart to return the store. But when Marge takes the family to the Try 'N' Save for a family portrait, the truth comes out, with videotape as proof.
Marge his heartbroken and begins acting differently toward Bart. Feeling the loss of her affection, Bart goes back to the discount store and returns with a bulge in his jacket. Marge confronts him when she fears he has been stealing again. But Bart produces a framed picture of himself, saying he was going to give it to her for Christmas. Touched, Marge tells Bart he can open one of his presents early--a video game that all the kids want. Bart opens his gift to find Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge.
Favorite Quote
Brodka: Yeah, get out of my sight. [Bart starts to run away.] Hey, kid! One more thing. If you ever set foot in this store again, you'll be spending Christmas in juvenile hall. Capisce? [Bart looks blank.] Well, do you understand?
Bart: Everything except "capisce".
