                         Yeah. No more getting pushed around 
                         by fourth graders!

                         to beat up.  Hey, come here

                         is some new lady from Denver.

                         He's right. We have to take a hard stance 
                         right now and establish that we're the 
                         dominant ones in this relationship!

                          We need to stand up to this new teacher 
                         and insert ourselves! Let's all do something 
                         radical!

                          Like... ah, how about right at 8:35 we 
                         all jump up on our desks and pull down 
                         our pants and shout, "KISS MY ASS!!!" 
                         all together!

                         Well, buh wuh when we pull our pants 
                         down,  should we stand frontways or 
                         back? I mean, do we show 'er our... behinds, 
                         or-ar our w-wieners?
 
                                     STAN
                         ...I think showing her our asses should 
                         be quite sufficient, Butters.
 
                                     BUTTERS
                         Uh-uh, maybe we could stand like this 
                         , with our wieners pokin' through the 
                         back of our legs, you know, and give 
                         'er a nice fruit bowl.

                                     STAN
                         Okay, so it's decided. When the clock 
                         hits 8:35 we all stand up on our desks, 
                         pull down our pants and yell, "KISS 
                         MY ASS!!!"

                         his pants down.

               a bit awed at the surroundings. Lab sinks and equipment line 
               the walls. New, modern desks greet them. An aquarium and some 
               modern art are also present.]

                         is the loss of that playful youth all 
                         our parents told us about.

                         Yeah. Only now do we realize how much 
                         we all took the third grade for granted.

                         Everything was great in third grade. 
                         And now that it's all over, we'er starting 
                         to see just how special it was.
 
               [wistfully]

               Remember how it used to be in the Third Grade?

               We used to laugh and play and cherish each day in the Third Grade
 
               
               [a classroom scene, then a playground scene as heads of Cartman 
               and Kenny float by]
 
               We learned wonderous things from a teacher so nice

               [Mr. Grrison is dessed as a pirate before a happy class]

               classroom fades into sky. A teddy-bear face floats by]
 
               The world seemed to all make sense

               but that sense seems to slowly fade

               [They float towards a rainbow and sun, and the scene fades to 
               black, then to the playground]
 
               After Third Grade

               
               In the Third Grade we used to write with crayons

               [Garrison leads the class in a march at a candy land]

               We would make sparkly pictures with glitter and glue

               [Cartman makes a glitter picture of a cow's face]

               We had warm cookies and hearts full of love

               [Kenny makes one of a clown holding a bloody knife in one hand 
               and a boy's bloody head in the other]
 
               And there wasn't a care in the world of me... of you...

               [Cartman sings to the audience and points]

               There's not a thing in this life that I wouldn't trade just to 
               go back for one minute

               each kid a happy spanking in a room full of huge gift props.

                         When it comes to time-traveling theory, 
                         there are basically two school of thought. 
                         The Spock Theory is that a sling shot 
                         around the sun could create a wormhole 
                         in which time could not escape. The 
                         Lieutenant Commander Data Theory, however, 
                         is that a nag vibration could create 
                         a rip in the time-space continuum-

                         about going back, it's about going forward. 
                         Yes, there are times in our life that 
                         we wish we could relive, but, if we 
                         already lived them perfectly, why live 
                         them again? The adventure of life is 
                         that there's always something new. New 
                         challenges, new experiences. A fun game 
                         is a game that gets harder as it goes. 
                         So it is with life. Do you understand?

                         Yeah, congratulations!

                                     MR. GARRISON
                         You know, I, I feel like I can start 
                         anew. If it's alright with you, I'd 
                         like to go back to teaching the third 
                         grade!

                         Oh. I'm sorry, we don't hire gay people. 
                         
 
               THE END
