St. Patrick's day and the Simpsons listening exercise

Hello to you all ! 
As you know, yesterday it was St. Patric's Day, the day where Ireland paints the town red - or rather - green ! It's a huge massive celebration that involves a big parade, tons of alcohol, people wearing green, massive Guinness consumption and lots of fun ! If you want to learn more about St. Patrick and Ireland, read my last year's post about St. Patrick's. For now, I propose you a short, but hilarious exercise of listening comprehension starring the Simpsons and St. Patrick. Watch the video and try to answer the questions ! The answers, as usual, are at the end of the post. Enjoy it :


Watch the video and answer the questions :
- Why does everybody pinch Bart ?

- What time is it when Homer is waiting at Moe's Tavern ?

- Today, everyone is a bit Irish except of course the ___________ and  the ____________.

- Why do they stop the celebration ?

- What does Homer say in Moe's Tavern?

- What does Bart say in front of the camera ?

- Marge doesn't want to look ___________________________.


Answers :
- Everybody pinches Bart because he isn't wearing anything green on St. Patrick's Day.
- It's about 9 o'clock. Homer : "It's been St. Patrick's day for ages and I'm still not drunk yet. Oh, it's never going to be nine o'clock !"
- Today everyone is a little bit Irish, except of course the gays and the Italians.
- They stop the celebration because Bart is drunk. "That small boy is drunk."
- In Moe's tavern, Homer says : "look at me ! I'm the Prime Minister of Ireland !
- In front of the camera, Bart utters the words : "What are you looking at ?"
- Marge doesn't want to look the world's worst mother. 

A little bit late, but you know, better late than ever. Happy St. Patrick's Day for everyone !
