"Lisa, my goodness." "That's very impressive." "Holy moly!" "That's the biggest one of those I ever saw!" "I always said she was gifted." "Definitely from our side." "Right, Mom?" "Leave me be." "How long did that take you?" "I couldn't tell you." "It was a labor of love." "It's my homage to some heroes who may not have fought any wars, but who" "Speaking of heroes, here's mine:" "Tom Turkey!" "Yikes!" "What is that?" "It's the centerpiece." "It's taking up real estate." "Stop it!" "Move it, toots!" "Mom!" "I'm sure there's room for both." "Let me...." "Bart, you're wrecking it!" "Let go!" "I worked forever on this!" "Hey, that got her going!" "Bitchen!" "Bart!" "You don't even care!" "You don't even care!" "All right, that's it!" "Go to your room now!" "I'll take some white meat to go, and send up the pie."

"He's doing one of those be-thankful stories." "We have lots of names for these people:" "Bums, deadbeats, losers, scums of the earth." "We'd like to sweep them into the gutter or to some other out-of-the-way place." "Oh, we have our reasons:" "They're depressing." "They're crazy." "They smell bad." "Hey, listen, man." "I'm going somewhere." "So every year on one lone, conscience-salving day we toss these people a bone." "A turkey bone." "That's supposed to make it all better."

"Give me the number for 911!" "Thanks for your help." "This reporter smells another Emmy." "We're rooting for you." "Got someplace to sleep tonight, Bart?" "Yeah, there's this family I hang out with." "Sounds pretty sweet." "Yeah, I guess it is." "See you at Christmas." "Guys, unless you feel weird about taking money from a kid, I thought...." "I wouldn't feel weird." "I'm comfortable with it." "Forget the report?" "He's down at the Rescue Mission!" "He's long gone." "Can you think of a reason why he ran away?" "Well, we did kind of yell at him and sent him to his room and forced him to apologize to his sister." "I said he ruined Thanksgiving." "Oh, I see." "Best Thanksgiving ever, eh, boy?" "Goodbye." "I'm sure Bart will be back." "I'd say something comforting, but you know, my voice." "Let's go!" "If I'm not back at the home by 9 they declare me dead and collect my insurance." "This is a terrible thing that's happened." "But we can't blame ourselves." "We can!" "Children need discipline." "Ask any advice columnist." "Marge, are we ever gonna see him again?" "Should I or shouldn't I?" "Hey, everybody, I'm home." "Bart?" "You're home!" "Oh, my special little guy!" "We were so worried!" "Boy, we were afraid we'd lost you!" "Welcome back, Bart. I'm sorry we had such a terrible fight." "Isn't there something you'd like to say to her?" "Okay, I'm sorry too." "No, no, no!" "That won't do at all!" "Get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness." "Yeah, beg me, Bart. Beg me!" "Lisa, I beg of you, please forgive me." "Now we can blame him for everything!" "It's your fault I'm bald!" "Sorry." "It's your fault I'm old!" "Sorry." "It's your fault I can't talk!" "Sorry." "It's your fault America has lost its way." "It's all your fault." "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!"

"I failed to take his abuse with humor." "I miss him so much already that I don't know...." "Hey, Lisa!" "It's me, Bart!" "Bart?" "Where are you?" "I'm on the roof." "What are you doing?" "Everybody's worried." "Did they cry?" "Yes." "Bull's-eye!" "Why did you burn my centerpiece?" "Come on." "Because you hate me or because you're bad?" "I don't know." "I don't know why I enjoyed it or why I'll do it again!" "Just tell me you're sorry." "Why?" "The only reason to apologize is if you look inside yourself and find a spot you wish wasn't there because you feel bad you hurt my feelings." "Leave me alone." "Just look!" "Okay, okay." "Looking for the spot." "Still checking." "This is stupid." "I won't find anything." "Just because I wrecked something she worked hard at and made her" "I'm sorry, Lisa." "Apology accepted." "You know, Marge, we're great parents." "O Lord, we thank thee for giving us one more crack at togetherness." "Amen."
