"Four Regrettings and a Funeral" is the third episode of the 25th season of the American animated sitcom ''The Simpsons'', and the 533rd episode of the series. The episode was written by Marc Wilmore, and premiered on November 3, 2013, on Fox. The episode is dedicated in memory of Marcia Wallace (the voice of Edna Krabappel) who died on October 25, 2013. In addition, the chalkboard gag in the opening sequence was changed to read a single "We'll really miss you Mrs. K". The title is a spoof of ''Four Weddings and a Funeral''. For this episode, Harry Shearer won his first Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voiceover Performance. ==Plot== When a beloved Springfielder named Chip Davis (a man who never appeared on the show yet apparently greatly impacted everyone in some way) dies, four residents recall life events that they would like to do over. Homer regrets selling his Apple stock for a bowling ball, and becomes increasingly irritated that Mr. Burns is gloating about buying Homer's stock with successful results. Marge worries that her listening to Kiss albums while pregnant with Bart made him what he is today as she watches him acting out during Chip Davis' funeral with Milhouse, including removing the church's pew kneelers, hurting everyone's knees when everyone kneels to pray, stealing the collection plates and using them as swords, and stealing Reverend Lovejoy's gown, mocking him. Mr. Burns regrets breaking up with a French woman Lila who became a Buddhist monk after rejecting his engagement proposal due to his selfishness. He later finds her in a Buddhist temple, and the two reunite. He then goes to the bathroom to freshen up. But when he returns, he finds her dead in bed after taking too long to prepare. He tries resuscitating her, but his "breath of life" ends up disintegrating her body. Smithers then encourages Mr. Burns to honor the one wish she had for him: be selfless for at least five minutes. Mr. Burns then sets out to volunteer at the soup kitchen, where he ends up staying longer than five minutes. Kent Brockman regrets not taking a position as a cable news anchorman when he had the chance when he was younger. He later goes to New York City looking for a job. After reviewing his choices, he heads to Fox news, where one anchor encourages him to blame the Democrats for what happens in the news. After realizing the pettiness of the news station, Kent decides to return home. Later, Bart decides to fly after making a balloon ride out of a laundry basket and hundreds of balloons. However, he begins to regret his decision after ascending too high into the air. Kent then sees this and broadcasts it on the news in hopes of regaining his drive for local news. Homer then uses his bowling ball as a way of weighing down Bart's balloon ride by shooting it out of a cannon which lands on the basket and brings Bart back to the ground. Everyone celebrates Bart's rescue while ignoring Lisa's success at an academics competition. Homer then begins to appreciate his bowling ball again, but then it explodes after a police sniper accidentally shoots it. Before the credits roll, a tribute to Marcia Wallace is shown, with Mrs. Krabappel in her classroom. During the credits, photos of iconic Springfield moments are shown with Chip Davis in the background. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Four Regrettings and a Funeral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
