A Briss Before Dying
Title Pun: A Kiss Before Dying
Simpsons episode: "Today I Am a Clown"
Synopsis: Klezmer music. Itchy lies on a table, presumably for his ritual circumcision or brit milah, between a congregation of Jewish mice and Scratchy, who is saying a Hebrew prayer: "Baruch atah adonai, alohienu melech haholahm, boray pur" (a familiar blessing said over wine). Scratchy then pulls out a scalpel to murder Itchy. Seeing the scalpel makes Itchy easily frightened. He jumps up on Scratchy's head, pulls his eyeballs out, and throws them out the window. Attacking Itchy, Scratchy cuts himself to pieces. Itchy picks them up and puts them through a mincer (the eyeballs reappear) and applies the product to the end of a tube, then blows it in a fireplace as if it were made of glass, turning it into a goblet. He wraps it and stamps on it while the other mice clap, shouting "Mousel Tov!" After the cartoon is over, Krusty says "and that's what I believe in now! Hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha!"

Famous quotes containing the word dying:
“Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
