Yes, I am bored at work
Remember the episode when Bart got glasses, the big shoes and had to have hair oitment? Then as he was walking down the hallway he got pulled into a secret sanctuary (excelsior!). They even served him prune juice.

Well it is sort of like that. You won't know until you are one. Many Bothans died to bring me this information, so don't waste it.

Meanwhile, at school, the bullies taunt Bart. A hick boy dressed in
overalls with a straw hat and a piece of wheat is his teeth comments,
"Yer goofy-lookin', hyuck, hyuck," and the bullies beat Bart up. Bart
manages to escape out of their ring, and he runs away frantically. An
arm reaches from a locker and pulls him inside. Martin lights a match
and Bart says in wonderment, "What the hell?" Martin shushes him and
leads him to a room full of nerds. Some play chess, some write on
blackboards or on walls, an another builds a model of the Enterprise.

Bart: What is this place?
Nerd 1: The refuge of the damned.
Martin: [gleeful] A place where we can work on our extra-credit
assignments without fear of reprisal.
Nerd 2: Come! You must be tired from the chase. Oliver! [claps]
Bring our friend a hard-boiled egg and some prune juice.
Martin: Finally, Bart's one of us!
Everyone: Excelsior!
