A couple people Bart knows have hung out in the rafters before, so it's possible he glances up there every so often to see if they're there.

He wasn't expecting Maxwell Smart to be up there.

"It's not even that clever! It's like asking someone what's up and they say the clouds or something. Duh. Way to point out the obvious."

[blinkandyoumiss]

"Nothing."

[bythatmuch]

"Go ahead. Get it out of your system."

He's got all day to wait for Bart, really.
