Plot[]
A newscaster (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) reports on (and jokes about) the loss of all of Mr. Burns' fortune. The television that the story is shown on gets carried away by Lenny and Carl. Mr. Burns watches in deep depression as all of his possessions get sold off and taken away by other citizens of Springfield (even Patty and Selma take away Smithers). He stands outside the padlocked gate of his mansion, which gets carried away by helicopters.
Later, a depressed Mr. Burns takes a walk in Springfield Park and watches a few Springfield citizens getting along: Nelson pushing Martin on the swing, Krusty pushing Plopper on the swing, Smithers nail-polishing Patty's nails while she and Selma are sun-tanning with two Cokes beside them, and Clancy Wiggum and Snake walking together handcuffed with a Coke in Wiggum's left hand and a Coke in Snake's right hand.
He is about to hand over Cokes to the group behind him, but notices Mr. Burns walking in sorrow. Apu has an idea to cheer him up, so he walks towards Mr. Burns and offers him a Coke. Mr. Burns smiles, takes a sip of his Coke, catches a football and gets carried by Lenny and Carl as Homer, Marge and Bart look at him. Bart shakes a Coke bottle and gives it to Homer, who is excited about it, opens it, and gets sprayed by the Coke.
