"I've never said this-- and I don't even know if I'm supposed to say this-- but this marriage is rotting with the stench of death." "Oh, that seems a little strong." "How about reeking like a trashcan in a dog park?" "Does my marriage have to be something you can smell?" "(snoring)" "You see, Marge?" "You see?" "The only way you and Homer will ever be happy is to spend a little time apart, followed by more time apart, followed by a divorce." "What?" "!" "What is..." "What, what's going on?" "Wait, no, no, no, I remember." "Happy anniversary." "Homer, Homer, listen to me." "There's just so much I can take." "No, we can save this." "We'll go to a therapist." "We're at a therapist!"

"Kids, a professional felt the best way for your father and me to work on our relationship was to give up on it." "But after a while, Dad's coming back?" "Oh, yeah, of course." "Maybe not." "Oh, Marge, after all my divorce-worthy statements and actions, many of which you don't know about, how can you kick me out now that I'm sick?" "Narcolepsy is a serious thing." "Maybe because you didn't take it seriously enough." "I pity you!" "(Homer sobbing)" "(Homer wailing)" "(crying):" "Why is Daddy going away?" "Is it my fault?" "(crying stops) Just kidding." "I have been waiting for this." "All my problems are my parents' fault!" "Mr. Flanders, can I cry on your shoulder?" "Boys, get my tear dickey." "BOTH:" "Yay!"

"I wouldn't be so cocky, Homer." "Marge has changed her relationship status to "It's complicated."" "(whistles) Not good." "Complicated?" "What's complicated?" "We're not together, but we're not legally apart, and I have to fight for the right to see the children" "I spent my life avoiding." "What's complicated about that?" "Simpson, where are your shoes?" "Narcolepsy." "Oh, sorry, sorry." "Now, to prove everything is fine," "I'm just going to give Marge a call." "MARGE:" "Hello, you've reached the voicemail for Marge Bouvier." "(beeps)" "Oh, my God."

"Are you asking me out?" "I mean, you're not, but it seems like you'd be fun to hang with, and I'm pretty fascinating myself;" "I'm an author." "I thought you worked in a drugstore?" "Tennessee Williams worked in a shoe factory." "Boy, you're pretty fast with that fact." "You want to go out or not?" "Well, I don't know what you see in me." "I'm just a lonely guy with a bag full of drugs." "Huh!" "Come with moi." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "You're moving way too fast for me." "I get that a lot." "(sighs)" "No, what I'm saying is you're walking faster than I can walk." "How fast can you go?" "Pretend you're walking a very slow old dog." "(both growling, barking)" "(rock music playing)" "No autographs." "I just need you to sign your bill." "The monkey made the reservation." "He pays." "I think it's cool how you owned your own baldness by shaving your head." "Well, I saw a picture of Jeffrey Katzenberg once, and said, "Yes, that's for me."" "Okay, listen, I'm just floating this, but have you ever thought that it might be a good thing Marge dumped you?" "What are you saying?" "You guys were so young when you met." "She was your first girlfriend." "I've dated more girls than you, but now you're free to try something new." "Uh... it's... getting late." "I should go."

"Well, Bart." "Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God." "What am I gonna tell Marge?" "(gasps) Don't move!" "There's a snake on your butt." "That's a tattoo." "Why would you do that to your body?" "I thought you had one, too." "Those are stretch marks, young lady." "I've had three children." "I got to call my wife." "I thought you guys were separated." "I'm the kind of man who never gives up hope." "I own property in Detroit, every Christmas I ask for size 36 pants, and I still buy Beanie Babies." "(phone beeps, line rings)" "Hello, Homer." "Marge is getting ready for a date." "Marge?" "On a date?" "Yep, but I'll make you a deal." "I will try to save your marriage if you can guess which one I am." "Patty?" "Wrong!" "(dial tone)" "(sobbing)" "I'm gonna get one, two, three, four, five scones." "You guys want anything?" "We're fine." "No, thanks." "We're all right." "Candice, what is his deal?" "(gasps) Is he paying your rent?" "No." "Is he giving a kidney to your mother?" "No." "Is he good at sitting on suitcases that are too full?" "Yes, but no." "Is he your guest at a dinner for schmucks?" "No." "(gasps) Are you a Humpty Dumpty catcher?" "Be honest." "All no." "Does her remind you of a childhood snowman?" "Yes, that's it!" "And the great thing is he will never melt." "Man, I would love to get back into snowman shape." "I can't even fit in my scarf anymore." "Whoa, this is serious." "Complimentary tattoos." "Yeah, I've always been looking for the very special lady who would match up with this." "(whinnying)" "All right, very funny." "You two celebrating or what?" "Two Scorpinos, Moe." "Scorpinos, you got it." "And those are served in, uh..." "Champagne flute." "Champagne flute, got it." "And that is a..." "Glass!" "A clean glass." "Ah, coming right up there, Your Highness." "Nut case." "(engine revs, tires squeal)" "Wow, Homer, you really stuck the landing after your separation." "Yeah, it's great." "Except her friends are always over." "I've been there for three weeks, and I can't find the TV." "And no one has any problems, except they talk about them endlessly." "Kind of like you're doing now?" "And the weirdest thing of all is now she wants me to meet her dad." "Wow, who pays for that dinner?" "I plan to pretend there's a bug in my food and get the meal for free." "Smooth." "H-Hello, sir." "Thank you for inviting me to dinner, sir." "Homer, relax." "I have no problem with the age difference between you and my daughter." "In fact, I've been dating a much younger woman myself." "Oh, here she comes now." "(humming happily)" "(gasping)" "Okay, okay, we can be adults about this." "Waiter, champagne?" "(sputtering)" "So I can't date an older man, but your girlfriend can?" "She's not my girlfriend." "Candice and I don't use labels." "Mm, doesn't look like she uses that much shampoo, either." "Lay off my girlfriend!" "Roger is great with the kids." "He even taught Bart how to bunt." "Oh, so now you're super dad?" "When I was a kid, you were never around." "You missed my high school play." "You told me not to come." "You're supposed to fight me on that!" "Well, Marge, your Roger's not so perfect now." "He's got a screwed up daughter with a pathetic boyfriend." "Candice, dear, I apologize." "I'm trying so hard to set my life right." "Oh, speaking of which." "Marge, I am going to do something I should've done three weeks ago when I met you." "Will you marry me, Marge?" "Yes." "As soon as my divorce is final." "Then you can put a ring on my finger, Homer." "I'm already pregnant." "You're pregnant?" "!" "But I kept my shirt on!" "(echoing):" "No!" "(snoring)" "Huh?" "What am I doing here?" "Sleeping through our therapy session." "Dreaming only about you." "So none of it happened?" "We're still together?" "Somehow." "Whoo-hoo!" "And you thought our only option was to break up." "I never said that." "If I told people that didn't belong together they shouldn't be together, I'd be out of a job." "Huh, I must have dreamed that, too." "Okay, why don't you tell us more about this dream?" "All you need to know about my dream is that Marge and I have been completely turned around by it, and like Scrooge, I will demonstrate" "I have learned my lesson by making a boy run to the store and buy me a goose." "I think you're going to have to do a little more, Homer." "Oh, I'll do a lot more than a little more!" "I'll do some." "If you could just be good for a month, that would really show me something." "Absolutely." "Can the month be February?" "Okay, March." "(groans)" "You did it, Homie!" "And what a March it was." "A beautiful Easter, a sober St. Patrick's Day, and impeccable behavior watching the NCAA basketball tournament." "Mm-hmm!" "And with your love, Dad," "I'm eating meat and Maggie's talking."

"But you forgot to pay!" "(distant):" "Oh!" "(whimpering)" "(gasps)" "(sobbing)" "I've lost everything." "My wife, my family... (sobbing)" "You didn't lose me, Dad." "(chuckles) Lisa?" "You can never lose me." "We share the same blood, the same mixed feelings towards Bart, and you know I'll need support in my teenage war with Mom." "(sobbing, laughing):" "Oh, Lisa... (both laughing)" "Oh, Dad." "Dad!" "Aw, sweetie..." "Nothing could ever come between us." "...we'll be together forever." "ROGER:" "Lisa, where are you, dear?" "I thought we'd get in a game of chess before we go pony shopping." "Gotta go." "Lisa!" "I'll Skype you at Christmas!" "(echoing):" "Noooo!" "(Homer snoring)" "Huh, so it was all my dream." "I better find out what this all means." "It means, like all married women, sometimes you're sick of your husband, but sometimes you're afraid of losing him." "And like all married men," "I didn't hear that first thing, and I'm overconfident of the second." "So what do we do?" "I need some kind of guidance to take away from all of this." "Put your finger on it so I can tie it in a bow." "Please?" "Well, one thing we therapists can give is concise, simple solutions, and yours is..." "Hannah, what does that one mean?" "It means don't get drunk in Brooklyn."
