Deleted line(s) 1,7 (click to see context) :
Homer, who has been on a Good Samaritan kick lately, goes on a hunger strike to protest the Springfield Isotopes being moved.
!! Tropes:
* BaitAndSwitchComment:
** When the souvenir guy refuses to give Lisa the missing piece, Homer angrily shakes his fists and tells him there's something to make him remember Homer. Homer then opens his hand and shows a snow globe with his name and face.
** When Homer confronts Mr. Duff over the latter's plan to move the Springfield Isotopes to Albuquerque, the latter shows a vial with what he claims to be a new addictive for Duff beer. Unlike what Homer understandably suspects, the memory-erasing drug comes from elsewhere.
