==Plot==
== Licensing ==
{{Non-free poster}}
Following [[Bart Simpson|Bart]]'s prank of having churchgoers sing the hymn "In the Garden of Eden" by "I. Ron Butterfly" (a.k.a "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (song)|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]]" by [[Iron Butterfly]]), [[List of recurring characters from The Simpsons#Lovejoy Family|Rev. Lovejoy]] forces him and [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] (for snitching Bart) to clean the organ pipes. Bart is indignant at Milhouse, who claims he feared the fate of his [[soul]], and proclaims he believes there is no such thing as a soul. Milhouse calls his bluff, and tells Bart he'd like to buy it (in the form of a piece of paper saying "Bart Simpson's soul") for [[United States dollar|$]]5. The deal is made. [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] tells Bart that he will regret selling his soul, but Bart is still disbelieving. Soon, however, [[Santa's Little Helper]] will not play with him, automatic doors fail to open for him, and when he blows on the freezer doors at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], no [[condensation]] forms. Also, he finds ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show|Itchy & Scratchy]]'' [[cartoon]]s to no longer be funny. Bart begins to suspect he really ''did'' lose his soul, and sets out to get it back.

Meanwhile, [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]] wants to expand his customer base by turning his [[bar (establishment)|tavern]] into a [[family restaurant]] called Uncle Moe's, styled a la [[Bennigan's]] and [[Fuddrucker's]]. The [[gimmick]]: If he does not smile when he hands a customer his check, the meal is free.

Bart tries to get his soul back from Milhouse, but he refuses and jacks up the price. That night, Bart has a [[nightmare]] about being the only child in [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]] to not have a soul, and is mocked as a result. Lisa also taunts Bart with a dinnertime [[prayer]], leading him to make a desperate, all-out attempt to get the piece of paper back.

Moe's surly demeanor and the [[Stress (medicine)|stress]] of running a family restaurant by himself ultimately unnerves him, and it is not long before he finally snaps at a little girl (who says that her sodie is too cold, making her teef hurt). The restaurant is a resounding failure, forcing Moe to revert the restaurant back into his run-down tavern.

In desperation, Bart makes a late-night attempt to retrieve his soul, having to travel across town where Milhouse and his parents are staying with his grandmother. However, the 2 a.m. visit is in vain; Milhouse had traded it to the [[Comic Book Guy]] for ''[[ALF (TV series)|Alf]]'' [[pogs]]. A frustrated Bart camps the rest of the night in front of the Android's Dungeon to get his soul back.

In the morning, an annoyed Comic Book Guy tells Bart that he does not have said piece of paper anymore, refuses to disclose who he sold it to and tells him to go home. A despondent Bart walks home in the rain, and in his room dejectedly prays to [[God]] for his soul. Then, floating down from above is a piece of paper, with the words "Bart Simpson's soul." Lisa had purchased the piece of paper, and while explaining philosophers' opinions on the human soul, Bart maniacally eats it up. That night, he rests easy with the pets curled at his feet, and has a dream about his soul helping him get even with [[Martin Prince|Martin]] and his soul.

==Production==
The idea of selling someone's soul came from [[Greg Daniels]]' childhood. After encouraging a bully to sell his soul for 50 cents, Daniels convinced everyone else to tell the bully that Daniels could own him forever. When the bully came to Daniels in tears one night asking for it back, he jacked up the price and the bully got his soul back. Daniels did this again but stopped when he realized that the Devil made a living the same way, and that scared him.<ref name=Daniels>Mentioned in the episode's DVD commentary.</ref> The song originally intended for the opening scene was [[Led Zeppelin]]'s "[[Stairway to Heaven]]"

Article

Aerial Gunner

Portion used

The entire front cover. Because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original video cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the video cover creator's ability to provide video cover design services and in turn marketing video to the public.

Replaceable?

As a video cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the video would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Other information

Use of the video cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
