"Done and done!" "[ Laughing ]" "D'oh!" "Lisa and Marge, these braces are invisible, painless... and periodically release a delightful burst... of Calvin Klein's Obsession for Teeth."

"And if you'll scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." "Wait a minute." "Is he coming on to me?" "I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm?" "Oh, my God!" "He is coming on to me." "After all, negotiations make strange bedfellows." " [ Chortling, Clicks Tongue ] - [ Silent Scream ]" "Sorry, Mr. Burns, but I don't go in for these backdoor shenanigans." "Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious, but the answer is no." "[ Sighs ]" "Lisa, so you won't be scared..." "I'll show you some of the tools I'll be using."

"Why did I have all that beer and coffee and watermelon?" "Now, Homer, I know what you're thinking, and I want to take the pressure off." "It doesn't take a whiz to see that you're looking out for number one." "Well, listen tome, and you'll make a big splash very soon." " Oh!" "Which way to the bathroom?" " Oh, it's the 23rd door on the left." "Nope." "Nope." "Nope." "[ Sighs ] He wouldn't even hear me out." " [ Groans ]" " Find the bathroom all right?" "Uh... yeah."

"I needed a new heel for my shoe... so I decided to go to Morganville... which is what they called Shelbyville in those days." "So I tied an onion to my belt... which was the style at the time." "Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel." "And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em." ""Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say." "Now, where were we?" "Oh, yeah!" "The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt... which was the style at the time." "They didn't have white onions because of the war."
