"You were charming enough to win me, and that day you didn't have a drink in you." "Marge!" "Homer!" "Mwah!" "Mwah!" "Homer." "You know, I have more cheeks." "I'd like you to meet my wife Wallis." "How ya doin'?" "Wallis has unearthed the most delightful entertainment to thrill us for hours on end." "It's a murder mystery, and we're all suspects." "Great!" "I've always wanted to try and solve a crime." "Please, everyone, read your bio." "I am a humble farmer from Yorkshire." "Humble I can be!" "That's the spirit!"

"Okay, I slept on the couch and I flipped the sweaty cushions over." "What else can I do?" "It's okay." "I mean, those people didn't even want us at that party in the first place." "I think it's time we learn to live with being ostracized." "Mmm..." "Don't you dare say "ostrich eyes"!" "Because... uh..." "Oh!" "Oh, okay, okay!" "What should we do?" "Nothing." "I give up." "No more dinner parties." "Our whole social life will be us watching TV and you going to Moe's." "I see." "Woo-hoo!" "Well, if that's how you think it has to be." "Yes, for us." "But not for Lisa." "Never for Lisa." "We're going to help her make friends." "It might be easier with Maggie." "She's always getting letters from the day care center." "Those are past-due bills." "They'll get their blood money." "And Lisa will get a friend." "After this, we'll do makeovers." "So where are all the friends?" "I don't know." "I invited everyone that Lisa's ever met." "Who are you?" "Gus Huebner." "I was on Lisa's coed soccer team two years ago." "Well, Lisa's gonna be here in five minutes, and the only kid who showed up is Gus freakin' Huebner." "Watch your mouth." "Oh, no, you're right, Homer." "Abort!" "Abort!" "Oh, no." "I was the only chump who showed up at this train wreck." "Well, I'm not leaving till I get a party." "Fine, fine." "Homer, give him a party." "Gus Huebner?" "Is that you?" "I wish." "That kid can play youth soccer." "Are you guys okay?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure." "I'm fine." "Yeah." "That's..." "Nothing's going on." "Right, right." "Nothing." "What's for dinner?" "Pizza." "Mmm." "Lots of pizza." "So, as her teacher, I was wondering if you could tell me why Lisa has such trouble making friends." "Marge, this is when I normally eat lunch." "So I'll just tell you Lisa is... unique." "And we're done." "All right." "For some reason, square dancing is a part of the gym curriculum." "Now, I'm gonna open the divider to the girls' gym, and if you don't find a dance partner within ten seconds, there is something very wrong with you!" "Hmm." "Aw." "That's tough luck, Lisa." "Looks like you're dancing with Groundskeeper Willie." "Careful of your toes." "I got me cleats on!" "I'll dance with Lisa." "Tumi?" "But you're from the other second grade." "We only come together for tornado drills." "God, I hate square dancing." "It ain't gym class if a fat kid's not crying." "Let's do this thing."

"They will fit." "Yes!" "Hmm." "Nobody likes jazz that much." "Even the guy playing it had to take drugs." "It's so much fun to finally have a friend who likes the NPR show" "Wait Wait..." "Don't Tell Me!" "as much as I do." "So, Carl Kasell, how did the House Minority Whip do on our news quiz?" "Well, Peter, he got two out of three right, so he wins me recording his outgoing message." "Oh, that's okay." "Really." "No, no, no." "Please don't." "It's not optional." "See, Marge?" "Problems will work themselves out if you just leave them alone." "Mm-hmm." "Want some more smoothie?" "As long as you load up on the kale and chia." "Oh, no one likes veggie smoothies that much." "Or at all." "Hmm." "Something's fishy about that girl, and I'm gonna follow her till I find out what." "And I'm gonna help you." "I think I'll need you back at headquarters manning the phones." "Great." "What do I say?" "Just let 'em ring." "Got it!"

"Mom, how could you pay someone to be my friend?" "Answer me!" "Oh, I wouldn't say I paid someone to be your friend." "I just gave her money for records and ice cream." "You gave away ice cream?" "!" "I would've found a friend eventually." "You couldn't wait a damn decade until I got into college?" "Oh, Lisa." "Lisa, wait!" "Oh, God, oh, God." "I'm the smart parent." "I'm sorry she rejected your "I'm Sorry" cake, but, in a way, I'm not." "I guess what I'm trying to say is I like cake." "Marge, don't feel bad." "You did what any parent would do." "No, I think I went too far." "Let me tell you a little story about a chubby unpopular boy named Homer." "Is that the boy you named me after?" "It is you, you idiot!" "Whoa." "Little Homer had a devil of a time making friends." "No one wanted to come visit him." "So I decided to take matters into my own hands." "I paid a couple of boys," "Lenny and Carl, to make my Homer feel loved." "A relationship I continued to this day." "You pay Lenny and Carl to be my friends?" "!" "Yes, but Barney's yours for nothing." "Aw." "Hmm." "Well, that makes me feel better." "Lisa's door is unlocked!" "Dad, is that story really true?" "I wouldn't pay ten cents to a lion to stop him from eating you!" "Lisa, just say something to me." "I'm gonna tell every psychiatrist" "I ever go to what you did." "A mother's greatest fear." "Wow, I made Mom cry." "What unimaginable power." "I can use this to get anything I want." "But right now, all I want is for Mom to stop crying." "Mom, stop!" "Stop!" "Stop." "I'm sorry." "Oh..." "Please stop!" "You're not mad anymore?" "I'm fine." "Fine." "It's funny, but... hurting your feelings made me feel better." "Mm, try to forget that." "But when I grow up, I'll find other weird kids, and we will have the most intense relationships ever." "And I'll always love you." "Aw." "Happy Mother's Day." "Mother's Day?" "!" "Mother's Day?" "!" "Crap!" "Okay, initially I was just gonna be your friend till I could afford a nice belt." "But I like you, Lisa, and I want to keep being friends with you." "Great." "But from now on, we have to be totally honest with each other." "You're absolutely right." "I'm not really a vegetarian." "Have you ever tried horse meat?" "They eat it raw in Japan, and... == sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man" "Shh!"
