A writer for The Simpsons has revealed the script for a scene with one of the cartoon’s most beloved characters.
“22 Short Films About Springfield” never had 22 stories but the second draft did have 20! Here’s the Lionel Hutz story that was cut. pic.twitter.com/U2mawadFjv

The scene reveals the group’s identity as the jury of a trial he is clearly involved with, which the stern Judge Schneider is not pleased with.
“The jury room?!” exclaims Hutz, having tossed the cake out of an open window. “I thought some of these people looked familiar.”
Hutz was voiced by Phil Hartman. The Canadian actor was shot and killed in 1998 and his characters, including movie star Troy McClure, were retired out of respect.
It’s fair to say fans are excited to hear about this extra dose of Hutz which never made the cut.
I love this! ?

If you would like to see more Simpsons scenes which didn’t make the cut, it might be worth keeping an eye on Josh’s Twitter page too.
The writer, who has also written for Matt Groening’s new series Disenchantment and Futurama, also revealed what should have been Maggie Simpson’s second word.
Do you know what Maggie’s second canonical word almost was?
Here it is, cut from Maggie’s 1st birthday scene in “Lady Bouvier’s Lover”. pic.twitter.com/AAl9xHufKq
