  Episode Summary  
Homer befriends superstar couple Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger and becomes their personal assistant. But when he spills the beans about the celebrities living in Springfield, who also include Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, the entire town sets up camp outside the gates of their mansion. Alec and Kim fire Homer as their assistant. Homer gets revenge by revealing everything he has learned about them to the world. The conflict escalates into a high-speed car chase, during which Ron Howard is injured and Homer is eventually caught. A judge places a restraining order on Homer and he is forced to remain 500 miles away from all celebrities.

  Episode Quotes  
Kirk: Hey, is it too late to see the movie stars?
Moe: Nah, no, just, ah, hop that fence, sneak up, and peek in the window there.
Kirk: Alright!
(He goes up to the fence, ready to climb in it and gets shocked)
Moe: (Laughs) I never get tired of that.
 
Homer: Oh! There's that movie script I wrote… where did you find it?
Alec: On my pillow
Homer: The important thing is… it's got the perfect part for you… either one of you. It's about a killer robot driving instructor, who travels back in time for some reason. Ron Howard's attached to direct!
Ron: I am not!
Homer: Well. He expressed an interest.
Ron: No I didn't!
Homer: Did too!
Ron: I did not!
Homer: You lie!
Alec: Yeah, Homer, most movie scripts are 120 pages. This has only seventeen. And several pages just have drawings of the time machine.
 
Alec Baldwin: Nobody knows we're in Springfield, and we wanna keep it that way.
Kim Basinger: Will you promise to keep our secret?
Homer: Absolutely, if you promise to keep mine!
Alec: Okay. What is it?
Homer: I can't read.
Kim: But you just read that card from the grocery agency.
Homer: I recognized the logo!
 
Studio Executive: (To Ron Howard) What else you got?
Ron Howard: Well, there is this one thing. It's about a killer-robot driving instructor that travels back in time for some reason.
Studio Executive: I'm listening.
Ron Howard: Okay, Okay, well, you see, this robot, he's got a heart-breaking decision to make about whether his best friend lives...or dies.
Studio Executive: (Shrugging) Aah--
Ron Howard: His best friend's a talking pie!
Studio Executive: Sold! Howard, you've done it again!
(He hands over sacks of money.)
