Great show. Where else are you gonna find stories about yellow, animated people going through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. 

Here is a collection of some of the greatest quotes from the show. Just try not to laugh!



Cleetus: Are you some kind of moron?
Homer: Yeah, but...

Marge: Homer, I told you this morning, no guns at the dinner table!
Homer: You said the breakfast table.
Marge: It's the same table!

Bart:
Hey Dad, can I borrow the gun tommorrow? I want to scare that old security guard at the bank.
Homer: Only if you clean your room.
Apu: Oh, that is not nearly enough time to learn over 200 
years of American history.
Homer:
Oh, it can't be that many.
Homer: You must love this country more than I love a cold beer on a hot Christmas morning. 
Apu: Today, I am no longer an Indian living in America. I am an Indian-American. 
Lisa: You know, in a way, all Americans are immigrants. Except, of course Native Americans.
Homer: Yeah, Native Americans like us.
Lisa: No, I mean American Indians.
Apu: Like me.
Lisa: No! I mean...
Homer: Oh, and how is "education" supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn 
something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.  Remember when I took that home wine-making
course and I forgot how to drive?
Marge: That's because you were drunk!
Homer: And how!
Homer: How many S's in innocent? 
Ralph: Principal Skinner, I got carsick in your office. 
Homer: Bart! With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! 
Ned: Homer, I'm having second thoughts. This feels so disloyal to Maude. 
Homer: Oh, wake up, Ned.  You think Maude isn't dating in Heaven?
Ned: You think she would?
Homer: How could she not?  The place is full of eligible bachelors.  John Wayne, Tupac Shakur,
Sherlock Holmes ...
Ned: [chuckles] Sherlock Holmes is a character.
Homer: He sure is!  [wolfish growl]
Marge: Homie, I have a man here who can help you. 
Homer: Is it Batman?
Marge: No, he's a scientist.
Homer: Batman's a scientest.
Marge: IT'S NOT BATMAN!
Homer: Welcome to the Internet, my friend, how can I help  you? 
Comic Book Guy: I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet
connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able to provide
an IP router that's compatible with my token-ring ethernet
LAN configuration?
Homer: [stares blankly for a few seconds] Can I have some money now?
Marge: Oh, look! This is the perfect chance to get you kids  some nice church shoes!  
Kids:  [sigh] 
Bart:  What do we need church shoes for, Jesus wore sandals. 
Homer: Well, maybe if he had better arch support they wouldn't have caught him.
Simpsons on TV
Grandpa Simpson: You never know what you're capable of. I never thought I could ever shoot down a German 
plane, but last year I proved myself wrong. 
Homer: Marge, I've been thinking.  What if instead of donating one of my old worn out kidneys; I give 
Grampa that artificial kidney I invented? 
Marge: Oh, Homer, that was just a beer can with a whistle glued to it. 
Homer: "Hello is this President Clinton? Good. I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd 
be you." 
Bart: "I wash myself with a rag on a stick."  
Homer:  "Young man, since you broke Grampa's teeth, he gets to break yours."  
Grandpa: "Oh, this is going to be sweet." 
Grandpa: "...and I learned I can make money selling my medication to deadheads."  
Mr Burns: "I want to be loved"  
Homer: "Ok, I'll need some beer" 
Homer: "Mmmmmm ... maca-ma-damia nuts ..."  
Homer: "All right brain, you don't like me, and I don't like  you. But let's just get me through this, 
and I can get back to killing you with beer. " 
Brain: "It's a deal! " 

Burns: "We don't have to be adversaries, Homer. We both want a fair union contract. " 
Homer's Brain: "Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me? " 
Burns: "And if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. " 
Brain: "Wait a minute.  Is he coming onto me? " 
Burns: "I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm? " 
Brain: "My God!  He is coming onto me! " 
Burns: "After all, negotiations make strange bedfellows. [wink] "
Brain: "Aaaaaagh! "
Homer: "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! " 

Skinner: "I'll tell you something that's not so funny.  Right now, Superintendant Chalmers is at home crying like a little girl." 
          [all the students laugh] 
Skinner:  [chuckles] "I guess it is a little funny." 

Homer: "We'll search out every place a sick, twisted, solitary misfit might run to. " 
Lisa: "I'll start with Radio Shack." 

Bart: "Do you wear boxers or briefs? " 
Homer: "Nope. " 

D'Arcy:  "I was in the audio-visual club. " 
Homer: "Really? Me too! But I got kicked out 'cause of my views of Vietnam. . . also, I was stealing projectors. " 
 
Billy Corgan (introducing himself): "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins. " 
Homer: "Homer Simpson. Smiling politely. " 

Moe: "Say, Barn, uh, remember when I said I'd have to send away to NASA to calculate your bar tab? " 
Barney: "Oh ho, oh yeah, you had a good laugh, Moe. " 
Moe: "The results came back today.  You owe me seventy billion dollars."

Agent: "Ever hear of... Planet of the Apes? " 
Troy McClure: "Uh... the movie or the planet? " 

Lisa: "Dad what's a Muppet?" 
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, and its not quite a puppet, but man (laughing)...  So to answer your question I don't know. " 

Homer: Lisa honey, are you saying that you are never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No!
Homer: Ham? 
Lisa: No! 
Homer: Porkchops?
Lisa: Dad those all come from the same animal!
Homer: Yah right Lisa.  A wonderful magical animal. 

Homer: Nobody make me any breakfast.  A man so deeply in debt doesn't deserve it. 
Marge: But I like to make you breakfast! 
Homer: Oh, in that case I'll just have French toast with double butter and a side of bacon...but no powdered sugar, I don't deserve it! Well, maybe a little powdered sugar. 

Homer: Oh, wow!  ... comedy legend Mel Brooks!  I love that movie "Young Frankenstein"...scared the hell out of me! 

Homer: "Stupid driving test at the stupid DMV where stupid Patty and stupid Selma work!  Sometimes I think God is teasing me...just like he teased Moses in the desert. " 
Marge: "Tested, Homer!  God tested Moses.  And try to be nice to my sisters.  It's very hard on me to have you fighting all the time. " 
Homer: "Oh, OK Marge, I'll get along with them. Then, I will hug some snakes...yes!  Then, I will hug and kiss some poisonous snakes. Now that's sarcasm! " 

Lisa: "Well, maybe you could reach out to the community and help other people." 
Homer: "Hmm...I could help others.  I'll get a bunch of monkeys, dress them up, and make them reenact the civil war. " 
Lisa: "Dad, that doesn't help people! " 
Homer: "Couldn't hurt...unless the monkeys start hurting people. Which they almost certainly would." 

Homer: "When I started this clown thing, I thought it would be nothing but glory.  You know, the glory of being a clown.  I tell you, it's hard, tiring work.  But when I see the smiles on their little faces, I just know they're getting ready to jab me with something. " 

Marge: "You certainly are popular now that you're a Stonecutter. " 
Homer: "Oh, yeah. Beer busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, A.A. meetings, beer nights... " 

Homer gets his arm stuck in a soda machine.
Rescue Worker: "Homer, this...this is never easy to say, uh, I'm going to have to saw your arms off. " 
Homer: (worried) "They'll grow back, right? " 
Rescue Worker: "Uhhhh...yeah. " 
Homer: (sigh of relief) 
Rescue Worker: (starts the chain saw and prepares to saw of Homers arms) 
Homer's Coworker: "Homer, are you still holding onto the can? " 
Homer: "Your point being?" 

Lisa: "Remember, 'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'" 
Homer's Brain: "What does that mean? Better say something or they'll think you're stupid." 
Homer: "Takes one to know one! " 
Homer's Brain: "Swish!" 

Homer: (as Mr. Burns' secretary) "Here are your messages: 
You have 30 minutes to move your car. 
You have 10 minutes. 
Your car has been impounded. 
Your car has been crushed into a cube. 
You have 30 minutes to move your cube. " 
(phone rings)
Homer: "Y'ello, Mr. Burns' office. " 
Mr. Burns: "Is it about my cube? " 

Doctor Hibbert: "Now a little death anxiety is normal. You can expect to go through five stages. The first is denial... " 
Homer: "No way, because I'm not dying. " 
Doctor Hibbert: "...second is anger. " 
Homer: (enraged) "Why you little!" 
Doctor Hibbert: "After that comes fear. " 
Homer: (worried) "What's after fear? What's after fear?" 
Doctor Hibbert:" Bargaining. " 
Homer: "Doc, you gotta get me outta this. I'll make it worth your while." 
Doctor Hibbert: "Finally acceptance. " 
Homer: "Well, we all gotta go sometime. " 
Doctor Hibbert: "Mr. Simpson your progress astounds me." 

Lisa: "Have you ever considered artificial insemination? " 
Homer: [laughs]" I don't know. You gotta be pretty lame to make it with a robot. " 

Bart: "Oh great. Dad's dead." 

Faith: "These are special VIP badges.  They'll get you into places other tourists never see. " 
Homer: "Miss, what does the `I' stand for? " 
Faith:"Important." 
Homer: "Ooh.  How about the `V'? " 
Faith: "Very. " 
Homer: "Oh.  And Miss, just one more question." 
Faith: "Person. " 
Homer: "Ah... What does the `I' stand for again? " 

Homer: "Wow a real shoe horn, just like in the movies. Shoe goes on. Shoe goes off. Shoe goes on. Shoe goes off. " 

Principal Skinner: "For a school with no Asian kids I think we put on a pretty darn good science fair! " 

Homer: "Oh my God, Marge.  A penalty shot with only four seconds left.  It's your child versus mine!  The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore! " 

Homer:  "Trying is the first step towards failure. " 

Lisa:  "Dad, don't you think...." 
Homer:  "Ah, ah, ah Lisa.  Daddy doesn't have to think.  That's why we elect politicians.  Remember that rainforest thing a few years back? They took care of that alright. " 
Lisa:  "Dad, you don't honestly think that... " 
Homer:  "Oh...there's that word again. 

Homer (Upon seeing someone feed through an IV):  And all this time I've been using my mouth like a schmuck. 

Lisa:  [Bart] has the demented melancholy of a Tennessee Williams heroine! " 
Homer: "Don't you think I know that! " 

Homer: "You know, when I was a boy, I really wanted a catcher's mitt, but my dad wouldn't get it for me.  So I held my breath until I passed out and banged my head on the coffee table. [long pause then gleefully] The doctor thought I might have brain damage. " 

Marge: "Do you want your son to become become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or a sleazy male stripper? " 
Homer: "Can't he be both, like the late Earl Warren? " 

Homer: "Wow.  I'll take that ring. " 
Clerk: "Yes, sir, and how will you be paying for it?" 
Homer (worried): "I don't know. " 

Homer: "Marge, there's something I want to ask you.  But I'm afraid, because if you say no, it'll destroy me and make me a criminal. " 

Marge: "I can't imagine that job of yours is very stimulating. " 
Homer: "But it gives me time to think. " 
Marge: "Oh.  What do you think about? " 
Homer: "Oh, girls.  I MEAN BOYS!  I, I MEAN YOU! " 

Homer: "Do you really think you're pregnant? " 
Marge: "Well, I have the same nausea and craving for pancake mix I had with the other kids. " 
Homer: "Yeah, and I have the same tightness in my chest and profuse sweating I always did. " 

Marge: "Homer, I've been thinking, if the baby's a boy, what do you think of the name Larry? " 
Homer: "Marge, we can't do that!  All the kids will call him `Larry Fairy'. " 
Marge: "Well, how about Louie? " 
Homer: "They'll call him `Screwy Louie'. " 
Marge: "Bob? " 
Homer: "Slob. " 
Marge: "Luke? " 
Homer: "Puke." 
Marge: "Marcus? " 
Homer: "Mucus." 
Marge: "What about Bart? " 
Homer: "Let's see...  Bart, Cart, Dart, Ee-art...  Nope, can't see any problem with that! " 
 
Man: "You must be stupider than you look. " 
Homer: "Stupider like a fox! " 

Milhouse: "So this is what it feels like...when doves cry. " 


Milhouse:
"What are they saying? " 
Bart [looking through binoculars]: "I'm not sure. " 
Milhouse: "I thought you said you could read lips. " 
Bart: "I assumed I could. "


Marge:"
It's almost lunch time.  Do you know where your brother is tutoring?" 
Lisa:"Pfft.  Tutoring?  The only thing Bart's teaching is guerilla combat... " 
Marge: "Well, do you have a number where we can reach him?"

Homer: "Now, Marge, you can't blame all of Bart's problems on your one little speech.  If anything turned him bad, it's that time you let him wear a bathing suit instead of underwear. Aaaaand let's not forget your little speech! " 

Ned:  "I called the police captain....He says he hasn't seen our kids, but if they show up in the morgue, he'll fax us. " 

Bart: "OK, here's how it goes: I'm the leader, Milhouse is my loyal sidekick, Nelson's the tough guy, Martin's the smart guy, and Todd's the quiet religious guy who ends up going crazy. " 

Bart: "Milhouse, you and me will be Omega Team.  Todd, you and Data are Team Strike Force.  Nelson, that leaves you and Martin. " 
Martin:" Team Discovery Channel! " 

Bart: "Remember, if you get lost, you can always find East by staring directly at the sun." 

Edna: "Class, please!  If you don't learn roman numerals, you'll never know the date certain motion pictures were copyrighted. " 

Marge: "Whatever happened to good old-fashioned town pride? " 
Lisa: "It's been going downhill ever since the lake caught fire. " 

Bart: "Wow, Dad, you took a baptismal for me.  How do you feel? " 
Homer: [reverently] "Oh, Bartholomew, I feel like St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan. " 
Ned: "Wait!  Homer, what did you just say?" 
Homer: "I said shut your ugly face, Flanders! " 
Ned: "Oh, fair enough. " 

Bart:" I never heard Maggie laugh like that before. " 
Lisa: "Well, when was the last time Dad gave her that kind of attention? " 
Bart: "When she swallowed that quarter, he spent all day with her. " 

Homer (to child-custody judge): "Well, wait a minute!  OK, I'm not going to win Father of the Year.  In fact, I'm probably the last guy in the world who should have kids.  I -- " 
[the judge looks at him sternly] 
Homer: " Er, well, er, wait...can I start again? Fathering children is the best part of my day.  I'd do anything for Bart and Lisa! " 
Judge: "And Margaret? " 
Homer: "Who?  Lady, you got the wrong file. " 
Marge: [whispers to Homer] "It's Maggie! " 
Homer (apathetic): "Oh, Maggie.  I got nothing against Maggie. " 

Judge: "I can see you sincerely want your children back, but you have a lot to learn about being parents.  Before I can return your children, you'll have to complete a course called Family Skills.  It teaches parents to listen to their -- " 
Homer: "Communication, gotcha. " 
Judge: "But it's important to --" 
Homer: "Listen, yes, I know. " 
Judge: "But there's more to it than --" 
Homer: "I have listening skills! " 
Judge: "Mr. Simpson, would you please -- " 
Homer: "Shut up, Judge! " 

Instructor: "I'm very proud of you people.  You've learned how to care for your children, you've learned how to maintain your homes, and you've all passed a drug test.  Except for Marge -- Marge, you tested positive for Crack and PCP. " 
Marge: "Oh my! " 
[Fifteen minutes later]
Instructor: "OK, the retest says you're clean.  Sorry about the mistake. " 

Marge: "Can you see them? " 
Homer: "I can see Lisa...but it might be a starfish! " 

Ned Flanders: "Well, I guess a little television won't hurt. I used to let the boys watch "My Three Sons" but it got them all worked up before bedtime. " 

Homer: "Come on, honey! You work yourself stupid for this family.  If anyone deserves to be wrapped up in seaweed and buried in mud, it's you. " 

Marge: "Bart, it's class photo day.  No dracula fangs! " 
Bart:"But they told us to wear them. " 
Marge: "No they didn't! "

Homer: "Well beer, we've had some great times... " 
        [singing to "It was a Very Good Year"]
        "When I was 17, 
        I drank some very good beer. 
        I drank some very good beer 
        I purchased with a fake ID 
        My name was Brian McGee 
        I stayed up listening to Queen 
        When I was 17. " 

Marge: "Have you noticed any change in Bart? " 
Homer: "New glasses? " 
Marge: "No...he looks like something might be disturbing him." 
Homer: "Probably misses his old glasses. " 
Marge: "I guess we could get more involved in Bart's activities but then I'd be afraid of smothering him. " 
Homer: "Yeah, and then we'd get the chair. " 
Marge: "That's not what I meant. " 
Homer: "It was, Marge... admit it." 

Homer: "Heh, heh.  Lisa, vampires are make-believe, just like elves, gremlins, and eskimos." 

Homer (annoyed): "You and your stories. 'Bart is a vampire' 'Beer kills brain cells.' Now let's go back to that (pause)  building (pause) thingy, where our beds and TV (pause)... is. " 

Lisa: "Women don't like to be shot at, Dad. " 
Homer: "Women will like what I tell them to like. " 

Marge: "When a woman loves a man, it doesn't matter that a crocodiles bit off his face. " 
Homer: "I may hold you to that, Marge." 

Ned:   "Sorry to bother you, Rev. Lovejoy, but I'm kind of in a tizzy. My son Todd just told us he didn't want to eat his 'damn vegetables.' 
Rev.L: "Well, you know kids and vegetables.  What was it?  Asparagus?" 
Ned:   "No, no, Reverend, the point is, he said a bad word! " 
Rev.L: "Oh, oh, right, yeah.Well, kids usually pick these things stuff up from someplace.  Find out who's doing it and... direct them to the Bible. " 
Ned:   "Where in the Bible? " 
Rev.L: "Uh... Page 900." 

Homer: "Don't you know the story of Hercules and the lion? " 
Bart:  "Is it a Bible story?" 
Homer: "Yeah, probably. " 

Homer: "Marge, you're my wife, I love you very much, but you're living in a world of make-believe!  With flowers and bells and leprechauns and magic frogs with funny little hats. " 

Homer: "Marge, would you love me more if I were President?  'Cause I'll do it if it'll make you happy. " 

The Curse of the Monkey's Paw
Homer: "I'll make a wish that can't backfire.  I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and, AND I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises.  You got it? " 
[a turkey sandwich materializes and Homer takes a bite] 
Homer: "Hey!   Not bad... Nice, hot mustard... Good bread... The turkey's a little dry... THE TURKEY'S A LITTLE DRY! Oh, foe, the cursed teeth! What demon from the depths of hell created thee! " 

Marge: "Have you been drinking? " 
Homer:" No!" [long pause]  "Well, ten beers. " 
 
Homer: "I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty.  And if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called... 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.' " 

Bart:  "Is there a doggy hell? " 
Homer: "Well... Of course, there couldn't be a heaven if there weren't a hell. " 
Bart:  "Who's in there? " 
Homer: "Oh, uh... Hitler's dog... and that dog Nixon had, what's his name, um, Chester... " 
Lisa: "Checkers. " 
Homer: "Yeah!  One of the Lassies is in there, too.  The mean one! The one that mauled Timmy!"

Bart: "These uniforms suck!" 
Marge:  "Where do you pick up words like that? " 
Homer (on the phone): "Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked!  I've seen teams suck before, but  they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. " 

Bart: "I don't want a new dog, I want Santa's Little Helper!" 
Homer: "Well, crying isn't going to bring him back unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog!" 
Bart: "Your right. I'll do it! (leaves)" 
Homer: "Rats!! I almost had him eating dog food!" 

Homer'sBrain: "You gotta use reverse psychology! " 
Homer: "Well, that sounds too complicated." 
Brain: "Okay, don't use reverse psychology. " 
Homer: "All right, I will! " 

Marge: "I'm worried about Bart. Today, he's sucking people's blood, tommorrow he might be smoking." 

Homer: "Why do you mock me, O Lord? " 
Marge: "Homer, that's not God.  That's just a waffle that Bart tossed up there. " 
      [Marge scrapes it off into Homer's hands]
Homer: "I know I shouldn't eat thee, but --" [bites] "Mmm, sacrili-cious." 

Homer: [on the phone]  "Bart, I need some lucky numbers, fast! 
   How old are you? Uh huh. And what's your birthday? No kidding. 
   And what's Lisa's birthday? ...   What?  You don't know your 
   sister's birthday??  What kind of brother are you! " 

Bart:"Dad...we've been robbed! " 
Lisa: "Wake up, Dad, wake up!  There was a burglar and he took my saxophone! " 
Homer: "Woo-hoo! " 
Bart: "And our portable TV! " 
Homer: "D'oh! " 
Marge: "And my necklace!" 
Homer: "Ehh, that's no big loss." 
Marge:" Homer, that necklace was a priceless Bouvier family heirloom." 
Homer: "Oh, you've probably got a whole drawer full of 'em. " 
Marge: "Well, yes I do.  But they're all heirlooms too." 

Lisa: "We are  insured, aren't we, Mom?" 
Marge: "Homer, tell your child what you bought when I sent you to town to get some insurance. " 
Homer: "Curse you, magic beans! " 
Marge: "Oh, stop blaming the beans. " 

Homer: "...Now we need code names. I'll be Cue-Ball, Skinner can be Eight-Ball, Barney will be Twelve-Ball, and Moe, you can be Cue-Ball. " 
Moe: "You're an idiot. " 

Lisa: "Dad, don't you see you're abusing your power like all vigilantes? I mean, if you're the police, who will police the police? " 
Homer: "I dunno.  Coast Guard?" 

Marge: "Homer, wasn't the whole point to catch the Cat Burglar? " 
Lisa: "And I still don't have my saxophone. " 
Homer: "Lisa, the mob is working on getting your saxophone back.  But we've also expanded into other important areas.  [reads a list] Literacy programs, preserving our beloved covered bridges, world domination -- " 
Lisa: "World domination? " 
Homer: "Oh ho, heh, that might be a typo. Mental note: the girl knows too much. " 

Homer: "Hey, you!  Where did you get that saxophone? " 
Student (hesitates): "Sears." 
Homer: "Get him! " 

Kent: "Well it looks like we have our first caller...and I mean ever, because this is not a call-in show.  Hello, you're on the air. " 
Man: "Hello, Kent.  Hello, Homer -- my arch-nemesis. "
Homer: "Y'ello. " 
Man: "You do realize who this is?" 
Homer: "Uh...Marge? " 
Man: "No, Homer, I'm not your wife.  Although, I do enjoy her pearls. As a matter of fact, I'm holding them right now. " 
Homer: "Why you monster.  And you have my daughter's saxophone too!" [He strangles someone off camera] 
Kent: "Homer!  That's our stage manager. " 
Homer: "Oh...heh, sorry.  I'm a little nervous. " 

Homer (reading headlines): "'Asleep at the switch'?  I wasn't asleep, I was drunk! " 
Bart:" I believe you, Dad." 

Grandpa Simpson:" ...I'm filled with piss and vinegar.  At first I was just filled with vinegar." 

Homer: [depressed] "Saxamophoooooone. " 

Malloy: "Abe, can I borrow your ointment?" 
Grandpa:" ...All right . But this time, clean off the applicator! " 

Homer: "Hello, I'd like to speak with a Mr. Snotball, first name Ura. " 
Moe: "Ura Snotball? " 
Homer: "What?  How dare you?  If I find out who this is, I'll staple a flag to your butt and mail you to Iran. " 

Homer: "I guess watching me isn't any more exciting than being me." 

At the DMV
Patty: "Some days, we don't let the line move at all. " 
Selma: "We call those weekdays. " [they both laugh] 

Homer's Brain: "Oh, glory of glories.  Oh heavenly testament to the eternal majesty of God's creation. " 
Homer: "Holy macaroni! " 

Bart: "Dad! You've shot Zombie Flanders! " 
Homer (surprised): "He was a zombie? " 

Marge: "Bart!  What happened? " 
Bart: "Well...we hit a little snag when the universe sort of collapse on itself.  But Dad seemed cautiously optimistic! " 
Homer: [disembodied] "Craaaaaaaaaaap! " 

Homer: "My Hair! You chopped off my hair! Oh god I'm ugly! " 

Homer: "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 50. " 
Marge: "Is it 37? " 
Homer: "Doh!... I mean nooo... " 

Homer: "There he is, Michalangelo's... Dave." 

Bart: "Dad, why did you bring me to a gay steel mill? " 

TV: "It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your kids are? " 
Homer: "I told you last night, NO! Hey where is Bart? His food is getting all cold...and eaten." 

Ralph (at an audition): "What's for lunch tomorrow? " 
Director: "Next. " 
Ralph: "Chicken necks? " 

Martin: "Uh, sir, why don't you just use real cows? " 
Prop Guy: "Cows don't look like cows on film. You gotta use horses. "
Ralph: "What do you do if you want something that looks like a horse? " 
Prop Guy: "Ehh, usually we just tape a bunch of cats together. " 

Ralph (declare): "When I grow up, I'm going to go to Bovine University!" 

Ralph: "Umm, Miss Hoover? " 
Hoover: "Yes Ralph, what is it? " 
Ralph: "My worm went in my mouth and then I ate it...can I have another one? " 
Hoover: "No Ralph, there aren't any more...[shaking her head] just try to sleep while the other children are learning. " 
Ralph: "Oh boy...sleep! That's where I'm a viking!" 

Ralph: "Me fail English? That's unpossible. " 

Homer: "Now we just sit by the mailbox and watch the money roll in. "
