[Homer tries klav kalash from a street vendor]
HomerNow, what do you have to wash that awful taste out of my mouth?
Mountain Dew or crab juice.
HomerBlech! Ew! Geez... I'll take a crab juice.
HomerAnd that's when the CHUDs came at me...
Oh, Homer, of course you're going to have negative view of New York if all you focus on are the pimps and the CHUDs.
HomerHey! Hey! HEY!!
What?
HomerYour boss told you you're fired!
I'll get him.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Not if you called 'em stench blossoms.
HomerOr crapweeds.
I'd sure hate to get a dozen crapweeds for Valentine's Day. I'd rather have candy.
HomerNot if they were called scumdrops.
[In Armin's apartment, the ex-principal lies on his bed while his visitors stand around him trying to convince him to come home. Armin refuses as they got the real Seymour Skinner.]
My mind is made up! I'm not coming back and that's final!
Oh, Seymour.
And I'm not Seymour, my name is Armin! This is Armin's apartment, Armin's liquor, Armin's copy of "Swank", Armin's frozen peas.
HomerCan I see your copy of "Swank", Armin?
Yes, you can. This is Armin's life, and maybe it's not perfect, but at least I'm back where I belong. I was born a no-goodnik, and I'll die a no-goodnik.
Seymour! I didn't bring you up to use language like that!
Well, you didn't bring me up at all!
To hell I didn't! I've been taking care of you for 26 years! I'm the only mother you've ever known!
But you have your real son!
You are my real son! You've been my son longer than he has, and he doesn't need me, and I don't need him! Now you march yourself downstairs and get in that car!
Yes, Mother.
And the rest of you, too!
Yes, Mrs. Skinner.
[The "All in the Family" opening:]
HomerBoy, the way the Bee Gees played
Movies John Travolta made
HomerGuessing how much Elvis weighed
Those were the days
And you knew where you were then
HomerWatching shows like Gentle Ben
Mister, we could use a man like Sheriff Lobo again
HomerDisco Duck and Fleetwood Mac
Coming out of my eight-track
Michael Jackson still was black
Those were the days
HomerNow son, on your first day of school, I'd like to pass along the words of advice my father gave me. [thinking what Grandpa told him]
Homer, you're as dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!
HomerLousy traumatic childhood.
That's damn fine coffee you got here in Twin Peaks. And damn good cherry pie.
[on TV we see The man dancing with a white horse, as a traffic light hangs from a nearby tree]
HomerBrilliant. I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
Homer, have you seen the frozen peas?
[Homer wipes his face with a frozen dinner and pulls the peas out from underneath him.]
Ahh, you keep 'em. Now listen, if we can't afford private school, maybe there's some other way to encourage Lisa. Eh, an art class! Ballet lessons! They have some fun things you can do at the museum on Saturday!
HomerUh-uh. Forget it, Marge. There is no way I am spending my Saturdays at a museum. Unless...museums don't have foosball, do they?
[Homer daydreams about himself at the museum, playing Foosball with a statue.]
HomerYou lose, Michelangelo's "David"! Who's next?
Meeeeeee!
HomerYou're mutants?
Uh, we don't like the word "mutants", Homer. We prefer "freaks" or "monsters".
You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Ariaga! Ariaga II! Bariaga! Aruglia! And Pizzoza!
HomerOh, I never heard of those people.
And they'll all be signing autographs!
HomerWoo-hoo!
This match will decide once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth: Mexico or Portugal!
I can't bear this any longer, I'm leaving.
Yeah, but not before me you ain't. [He storms out]
Now now, there's plenty exits for everyone!
Oh, that's it, you're dead, pal! [Puts Flanders into a headlock]
Hey now, that's uncalled for.
Shut your hole Skinner!
[Lenny punches Principal Skinner in the stomach, knocking him into the aisle stairway. He collides with Barney's beer tray, spilling it. Barney, enraged, runs headfirst into the increasingly large number of people fighting on the stairs, knocking and bowling them over. Meanwhile, a group of Scottish men watching the game stare bored at nothing in particular].
Ach! They call this a soccer riot? Come on, boys, let's take 'em to school!
[The men, rolling up their sleeves, start to pound anyone who comes near them. It's not long before the entire stadium is embroiled in a violent riot, from people getting tackled to Groundskeeper Willie's soccer hooligan friends hitting people with pipes to two East Asian guys in karate robes kicking each other in the face to Nelson sitting on Milhouse and pulling his leg back as Milhouse screams and cries. The Simpsons stand next to their seats.]
Homer, we've got to get out of here!
HomerOoh, but I want to do some rioting. [pushes one of the Scotsmen]
[turns to face Homer, screaming] JOBBERS COBKNOTS, YA MUCKER!! [pulls out a crowbar]
HomerAll done! [runs off]
HomerI'd like to buy your deadliest gun, please.
Aisle six, next to the sympathy cards.
[Going through accessories for Homer's new gun]
And this is for shooting down police helicopters.
HomerOh, I don't need anything like that... yet.
