"Man, even a backwoods, no account, inbred, lead-paint-eating, kerosene-huffing, roadkill-chomping, um, what was my point?" "That is a practical joke, Luann." "Which is too bad, because I desperately need that dollar." "I could also use the fishing line to get some dinner." "Bart, if Milhouse is hiding with you, tell him he has to shop for school clothes." "Yay!" "School clothes." "This isn't right, no one's falling for my pranks." "Huh!" "At least it wasn't a total waste." "I found a quarter."

"Son, I know this seems like the biggest disappointment of your life, but trust me, there are going to be so many more." "What you've got to remember is-- oh, my God, 13 men in the field!" "Review it, review it, review it." "Yes!" "Play stands!" "(crowd cheering over TV)" "MARGE:" "Here comes the airplane!" "Zhoop!" "Thanks to your late football-watching, you missed breakfast."

"(sobs)" "So, you really don't like jazz?" "(chuckles)" "I never realized we have so much in common." "And scat-singing." "She-bee-bee-dee-dee-diddly-bop- dee-do I give a darn?" "So, all these years, you've been lying to me?" "(both gasp)" "Be-beep-ba-boop-boop." "So, let's get it all out here." "Mom, you were only pretending to like it this morning when I played My Funny Valentine." "That was My Funny Valentine?" "Hoo-boy." "Wouldn't expect you to get it." "(sobbing):" "So busy juggling three children, you don't even notice when one is hanging by a thread, a thread you just cut forever!" "Lisa, this a family." "You do not take that tone with another family member." "You tell 'em, butterbean." "Shut up, idiot." "Lisa, honey, you're hurt, but hurting me back is not going to feel as good as you think."

"What's that all about?" "This is awful." "Lisa and I have always been so close." "Now, for your first day at school, you get what my mother gave me." "Pearls?" "Just like Mommy's." "Dad, is there anything you pass along?" "Predilection for kidney stones." "What if Lisa doesn't want to be friends with me anymore?" "Marge, it's not your job to be friends with your kids, it's my job." "Good night, sweetie." "(sighs) Oh, uh, Bart and I are gonna see an R-rated movie Saturday." "It has boobs, but they're elf boobs." "Is that cool?" "Hmm." "I guess." "(Homer chuckles)" "So long, whoopee cushion." "(fart noise)" "(sad music plays)" "Ah, good old peanut brittle."

"I don't see your saxophone." "That must be a relief to you." "Honey, I want you to bring it." "Sure, should I grab some Kenny G CDs too?" "Some Chuck Mangione?" "That would be lovely!" "Oh, I-I get it, they're popular, so you don't like them." "Just please get your sax." "Airport shuttle?" "Yes, I'm going on a trip with a special little girl." "That baby is adorable." "Oh, it's not the baby." "Great, now I've got both daughters mad at me." "May I say that you sound like a terrible mother?" "But no one ever cares what the shuttle bus driver thinks." ""Take me to terminal four," they say." "Actually, we're at terminal three." "Arguing with everyone today, aren't you?" "Okay, we'll see you on Monday, Homer." "I'm feeling really sad too, Dad." "Nothing cheers people up like a baby." "Hey!" "Boy, we each have to do our part, and I'm gonna make dinner." "And I'm gonna start with... (gentle, happy melody playing)" "Ice cream!" "Come back!"

"Well, they're expensive, which means if I die, you're still taking me." "Also, I bought you a little present from a street vendor." "They're earrings." "He's a cool cucumber, huh?" "Mom, I'm really not into jewelry right now." "(gasps) You're not wearing your pearls." "Um, the clasp wasn't working." "I can fix it." "There are some things that can't be fixed." "What are you saying?" "(sobbing):" "You really don't understand how much this has hurt me." "Jazz is my thing, and you said you loved my thing, but you lied." "You'll have a daughter someday, too."
