"People called him the "sixth Simpson."" "I'm not sure why." "Chip did such a wonderful job with my biography." "(people murmuring)" "(speaking Spanish)" "Chip was the life of Sector 6-F at the nuclear plant, but Chip once confessed to me he did have a few regrets." "(all gasp)" "Chip regretted never ascending Mount Springfield from the south face." "He regretted that the high school long jump record he set was wind-aided." "He often spoke of that asterisk." "He never broke par on hole 17 at Springfield Mini Golf." "(organ music resumes) Let us pray." "Eh, everyone has regrets." " Not me." " You?" "Your marriage is a dead fish floating in a tank of stale beer." "Your baby's addicted to pacifiers." "And your son is out of control." "Let us kneel." "(pained groans) Ow!" "My knees!"

"Covering a town of backwater rubes who, for some reason, hate my guts." "This is Kent Brockman..." "(sighs) live at the Springfield Peach Parade." "Sir, could you give us eight seconds of your homespun wisdom?" "It's a little-known fact that you can get head lice from peaches." "Uh, this is my daughter Peaches." "(sighs) We'll have more regrets at 11:00 tonight following an all-new bottle of scotch." "HOMER (scoffs):" "You have regrets, Mr. "I Get to See the Weathergirl From the Side"!" "I made the worst financial decision of all time." "Oh, I can't think about it." "I won't think about it." "I don't want to think about it!" "Oh, I'm thinking about it!" "Mm..." "Hmm." "Huh?" "(shudders):" "Oh... that's the coolest bowling ball I've ever seen." "Hello, Bear Stearns?" "I'd like to sell all my Apple stock so I can buy a fancy bowling ball." "You heard me."

"(grunting)" "(pants)" "You're going down, Bart!" "(grunts, groans)" " Ah, reckless youth." " He'll be okay." "I was referring to him." "I had a spring in my step like that once." "Back when I met Lilah." "Lilah ran a little crepe stand in the seventh arrondissement." "Oh, Monty, looking at you, I could lie in this unheated garret forever." "There's heat." "I just don't turn it on." "Seeing you there, in the sweet light of Paris between the wars, there's a question I must pose." "I have something for you." "Oh!" "Not that." "(chuckles)" "(grunts)" "(bubbling)" "(chuckles)" "Wrong box." "Lilah, will you take that big step from cousin to wife?" "(gasps)" "Oh, Monty, you must promise me one thing."

"Look, let's get this out of the way-- just because we both worked at Channel 6 and you made it big and I didn't doesn't mean I'm bitter." "Um, Is that your car?" "Maybe." "Kent, I'm gonna tell you the most important mistake you ever made after this break." "So, Kent, that mistake you made, that fundamental, life-changing error, that cosmic fail, that..." "Just tell me already!" "After this break." "You could have come with me, but you were suckling the dual teats of infotainment and celebrifawning." "(upbeat theme plays)" "So, tell us about your new movie." "It's fantastic." "The studio let us play in their sandbox." " Great." "We have a clip." " No!" "No, don't show it."

"Bah!" "People only want news at 6:00 p.m." "from white guys on weekdays and black guys on weekends." "We'll see about that." "Yes, we shall see." "About that, things will be seen." "By us." "Kent, you coming?" "He ain't comin'." "This little piggy's afraid to leave his cushy anchorman slop trough." "Could you, uh, phrase that a little more nicely?" "Sorry." "He "isn't" coming." "You'll regret this, Kent." "When I have my own show and you're stuck here tracking Santa's flight from the North Pole." ""Oh, look, he's over Greenland!""

"No, he's a real Eagle Scout, that one." "But your penguin's not a Catholic, she's a Buddhist nun-- spent her life expressing her sexuality with a Zen garden." "Those raked rocks could have been me."

"Sir, we are The New York Times." "And in I go." "Why are you doing this, Bart?" "50% attention-seeking, 50% to drop things on people." "He's gonna visit my sky granny." "To work at Fox News, all you have to be able to do is operate this device." "Now, when a Republican is in trouble..." "At the time, I didn't know it was illegal to sex up a cow on the Capitol steps." "...we simply do this." "Now you try." "Sorry, but I just discovered I have some scruples."

"Deleting all contact information." "No, no, I didn't ask you to do that, Siri." "I..." "Delete confirmed." "BART (groans):" "Oh." "Okay, Bart, be cool." "Calm down, you're not gonna die up here."

"(gasps) It's Bart!" "Pray for a miracle, boy." "God can hear you better from up there." "Dear Lord, please help me land safely." "Or transform this basket into a flying killer robot that I control with my mind." "Amen." "That's not a prayer." "My God says it is." "Oh, I see you're ice-cold with anticipation." "Dead?"

"Chief, what are you doing to save our son?" "Well, I've placed marksmen on the roof to shoot the balloons one by one, but frankly they're not very good." "(gunshot) (grunts)" "(whining):" "Chief, it happened again." "Aw, come on, guys, spread out." "Arm's length." "It's all my fault." "I should never have listened to those KISS albums when I was pregnant." "Marge, with all due respect, that's ridiculous." "My Sarah listened to Mozart and Churchill speeches when she was pregnant with Ralphie, and he can't even open a refrigerator." " Pushing, always... always pushing." " Really?" "Oh, yeah." "That kid's a mess." "Hey!" "Only I get to criticize him, Lou." "Kid's scared to flush." "Think's it's his brother." "Can we focus on my son up in the sky?" "Oh, I've got a long-shot idea." "By which I mean firing a shot over a long distance." "(chuckling)" "Yeah, you see, if we could fire an exactly 12-and-a-half-pound weight into the basket, it would lower the boy very gently to the ground." "Unfortunately, all our cannonballs were melted down to make a statue of Joe Paterno, which we changed to look like Eugene Levy." "I think I just might have what you're looking for."
