Charles Montgomery Burns, voiced by Harry Shearer. The Simpsons (2009) This episode loosely parodies the movie National Treasure. Voiceover: "The Order flourished, never forgetting its sacred mission. But word about the gem got out and a group of high-ranking freemasons led by Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and King George the third staged a phoney War of Independence to cover their search for the gem." Later in the episode, Lisa has this exchange with Mr Burns: Lisa: "Mr Burns? What are you doing here?" Mr Burns: "Ohhh, I've known about the gem for years. You see, my dear girl, I joined the Freemasons before it was trendy. That's my eye on the dollar bill. That's also my pyramid." The Simpsons.
