Plot
In the episode, Bart skips school and stows away aboard Freddy Quimby’s car. Quimby is accused of assaulting a waiter but Bart secretly witnesses what really happens. At Quimby’s trial, Bart debates whether to testify on his behalf, since Principal Skinner is on the jury and will punish the boy if he learns that he skipped school.
“I know you can read my thoughts Bart. Just a little reminder, if I find out you cut class, your ass is mine. Yes, you heard me. I think words I would never say.”
