Itchy and Scratchy replace the duck's phone with dynamite, killing it. The meaning of this sequence is that cell phones must be turned off during the feature presentation of the film. After the explosion, the duck is a skeleton and says "uh-oh".

Famous quotes containing the words kill, talking and/or bird:
“A quack doctor can kill you without a knife.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“They tell us sometimes that if we had only kept quiet, all these desirable things would have come about of themselves. I am reminded of the Greek clown who, having seen an archer bring down a flying bird, remarked, sagely: “You might have saved your arrow, for the bird would anyway have been killed by the fall.””
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
