JASPER: SEASON 7

Episodes:

Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 2 - Jasper plays an integral part in the investigation of the attack on Mr. Burns. It is revealed that after Smithers left the town hall at 2:55 (five minutes before Mr. Burns was shot), his drunken stumbling attracted the ire of Jasper, who tried to grab hold of him and settle him down. The gun-wielding Smithers fired off a shot, which became embedded in Jasper's wooden leg. Jasper is questioned by the police at the Retirement Castle (where his room number is revealed to be 26). Later in the episode, his vintage card collides with the prison van transporting Homer to jail, allowing Homer to escape, Fugitive-style. At the conclusion of the episode, Jasper is later visible in Mr. Burns' hospital room when the identity of the assailant is revealed.

Dialogue:

JASPER: "Slow down... sidewalks are for regular walkin', not for fancy walkin'!"

JASPER: "You simmer down, and I'll let you go."

JASPER: "You shot who in the what now?"

JASPER: "Damn fools! Drive-thru's not for a' parkin'!"
