"Listen, Homer, do you ever think about what you want to do when you're grown up?" "I'll eat in bed." "Not just snacks, messy stuff like lasagna." "Oh, and the TV would be on." "Loud." "Hey, would you ever want to have a real job and a family?" "(scoffs) Wife?" "Three kids?" "Steady job?" "If I did, I'd secretly be very sad." "You could tell by how much I would eat and drink and just sit on the couch." "(gasps)" "Yeah, thank God that never happened." "(snoring)" "Wow."

"(sighs)" "Look in the lake, tell me what you see." "Bloated corpse under the water." "I'd say he's been there a few months at least." "Interesting the way his lips move just like mine." "Why do you ask?" "Uh, no reason, brother." "(laughing)" "(laughing)" "(coughing)" "(gurgling)" "Geez, I hope this is the call I've been praying for." "It is."
