"This is Kent Brockman, in the channel 6 helicopter with Ernie Pye. But this is no mere traffic report..."
Pye:
"Hey!"
Kent Brockman:
"Face facts, Ernie. We are hovering over Burns Manor, where Charles Montgomery Burns is in critical condition. It appears that Burns was intended to be another victim of the mass murderer, who is still unidentified. Set this helicopter down, Ernie!
Police were called as soon as the culprit entered the premesis by shattering a window. It appears that the masked villain smashed an antique vase over his head and attempted to poison him with alcohol. Mister Burns, do you have anything to tell reporters about this incident?"
Burns:
"That cowardly brute was after my precious money, I am sure of it. I managed to swallow my gold tooth, and my Rolex watch before the villain could intoxicate me. The sadistic freak actually managed to force me to drink an entire glass of Cold Duck before I passed out from the awful taste."
Kent Brockman:
"How did you manage to alert police?"
Burns:
"Well, the silent alarm released the hounds, and also contacted police for me. Luckily, Smithers was here to clean up the broken glass and the vase, and also give me a sponge bath and a brain massage before police showed up."
Kent Brockman:
"Fascinating. Well, there have been two near-deaths in Springfield tonight. I sincerely hope that whomever is behind all of this is getting a good laugh, because I do not find it at all amusing. This is ratings week, and people want to see blood and gore."
Burns:
"Excellent. Now get off my property before I have you arrested for trespassing, newsie."
Kent Brockman:
Are we still being broadcast on Fox, Ernie?
Ernie:
"Of course"
Kent Brockman:
"Go

yourself, Mister Burns."
