"Daddy just covers things with hay and says they're done." "Mom, can we go to New York to find this girl I used to know?" "Bart, that's sweet, but we'd need airplane money, hotel money..." "And $500 for Yankee tickets, which turn out to be bogus." "Well, don't buy 'em." "But they're playing the Purple Sox." "Come on, Dad, you love New York." "Now, that your two least favorite buildings have been obliterated:" "Old Penn Station and Shea Stadium." "Lousy, outdated relics!"

"It didn't feel like success." "Why, ladies?" "Why?" "!" "Son, you can dial down the crazy." "Your mother and I talked about it, and we found a way to get to New York." "It's all set, boy." "To save money, we're swapping houses." "But don't the people wreck your house when they stay in it?" "I didn't say I swapped our house." "Yeah, how ya doing?" "We're staying here for two weeks." "Lord, you're testing me, aren't you?" "Yeah, keep talking to your friend up there." "We'll be doing it on your bed." "New York style." "Look at this place."

"(doorbell buzzing)" "Oh, I guess my search for true love is doomed." "You've learned a very valuable life lesson, boy." "Which is that love doesn't exist, except briefly between a man and a woman before marriage." "After that, it's just hanging out with someone who kind of hates you but you can't get it together to leave." "I'll get us some ice cream." "What's the matter, darling?" "Thanks for asking, Duchess." "I'm sitting here waiting for a girl that's never gonna show up." "What makes you so sure?" "Girls don't like me."

"Wow, what are you doing for money?" "Well, it's not very steady and I'm kind of ashamed." "I'm a featured player on Saturday Night Live." "DON PARDO:" "Mary Spuckler!" "Aw, I'm lying." "My whole life here is a bunch of lies." "I'm just a writer with a performing option." "Let's talk about something else." "Something nice." "So, this is basically what we can afford." "Okay, second balcony, partially obstructed view, no bathroom privileges and you must stipulate that, in emergencies, you can change a spotlight shell." "Well, at least I'll be able to say I went to a Broadway show." "You're not allowed to say that." "Oh, forget it." "So, Bart Simpson, did you really come all the way here just to see me?" "Yeah." "Plus, I thought I might get to see an air conditioner fall on someone's head." "But I guess that never really..." "HOMER:" "D'oh!" " Ow!" "What was that?" "!" " Is that your father?" "Bart, I want to see you again, but I don't want a grownup taking me back." "Meet me at the high line tomorrow." "Keep my secret!" "You little!" "Where's that ice cream?" "!" "Just once, I'd like your father to be on a jumbotron for something good." "HOMER:" "Damn you and your fluted neck!" "So, what did you do with your dad?" "We're safe because you have to climb steps to get up here." "(Homer groans)" "Can't move?" "No." "I thought there was no crime in New York anymore." "Giuliani!" "Gimme some news of Springfield." "They let Sideshow Bob out of prison again." "(train horn blows)" "Huh, didn't know they still ran those trains." "How's your momma and your sister?" "Trying to find high culture at low prices." "No, Lisa!" "If you click that turnstile, it'll blow our budget!" " Aah!" " Whaah!" "Well, without them around, you and I can walk through the city holding hands, just like the menfolk do." "I could listen to your twang all day." "Would you care to hear it in song?" "'Cause I wrote one 'bout you." "Can I do a rap in the middle of it?" "Or you could just listen."

"All right, Broadway's too expensive, the museums are over-curated," "But Shakespeare in the Park is tonight and the tickets are free."

"The Baldwin brothers, who were, uh, playing the Monague family and the Sheen/Estevez clan, our Capulets, have quit the production." "You guys suck at acting and you ate all the potato salad." "No, you suck at acting and it's first come, first serve!" "I made that potato salad!" "Well, uh, idiot, it says Zaybar's on the package!" "He works at Zaybar's." "We all work at Zaybar's." "I'm so sorry." "You came to see Romeo and Juliet, not feuding families." "Uh, the long, slow line to leave the theatre forms on the left." "(crowd grumbling)" "Aw, and we have to walk by a drum circle!" "Faster, man!" "More annoying!" "Not so fast!" "We came for Shakespeare and we're gonna see Shakespeare." "Anyone who wants to be in this, grab a doublet and meet me backstage!" "Is there, mayhaps, a bit of business for me?" "I was thinking amateurs only." "Well, my only professional job was playing a nefarious hot dog in an ad for Taco Bueno." "(sniffs) You fresh-made tacos will never defeat pre-boiled hot dogs!"

"Our search for culture is thus concluded," "For the Bard of Avon is well suited to a crowd with every cell phone muted." "Geez, I can't stop talking like this." "Hey, don't ever stop!" "Because, tonight, we made it in New York." "Those the people who took over the theatre?" "Pepper spray and power wash-- the New York hug and kiss." "Now, Mary, you listen to me." "I'm one-third your father and you're gonna come back." "If y'all will excuse me," "I gotta freshen up for the ride home." "Enjoy your fancy-schmancy in-house for the last time." "Psst!" "Um, I've got to go." "Go where?" "Uh, well, since we're here," "I'm gonna go try to get Al Roker's autograph." "Here you go, little fan." "Killer storm on the way." "(nervous laugh) Um, I gonna go try to sell this." "I'll buy it back." "(groans)" "Goodbye, Bart, and don't worry, there'll be other Mary Spucklers, including my sisters Mary Zeke and Mary Not Quite Right." "CROWD:" "Aw!" "(train horn blows)" "Bart, if any girl tries to fix you, let 'em, because you got a couple of big problems." "But mostly, you're great!" "Boy, you tell me where Mary's gone!" "I can't." "Boy, you squeal like a piggy for the hillbilly man." "I can't because Mary's the girl that proves that girls can like me." "And she wouldn't like me anymore if I gave her up." "So I won't, even if you torture me like you do the English language." "Well, if that ain't aren't the isn't." "(sighs) I guess I just gotta let Mary find her own way." "Come on, let's head on back to Springfield." "Uh, one on-getter for the clickity clack, please." "You miss her, don't you, son?" "You want a picture of her for your wallet?" "Oh, she's somewhere in B-3." "Thanks, man." "Aw, look at that." "My little guy's finally realizing how complicated grownup feelings can be." "Well, at least it didn't end as bad as Romeo and Juliet." "No kidding." "I saw your reviews." "(snickering) Hey!" "I specifically said, no critics!" "This is outrageous!" "(gasps) Ooh, but they like." "== sync, corrected by elderman == Resync for WEB-DL by Norther" "I hope you enjoyed the show tonight."
