HomerThat's ridiculous! How could I even get all five necessary drops into her cereal? [pause] What?
[After scenes are shown from the first pilot] Okay, the material was a little corny, but Homer and I showed great chemistry on set.
[Camera cuts to Homer]
HomerEvery day, I thought about firing Marge. You know, to shake things up.
[Rehearsal footage from shooting a Simpsons episode]
HomerSon, let's go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes!
Cowabunga, dude!
And cut!
Dad, I've never said "cowabunga" in my life! Your script sucks!
Homer[turns his face red in anger] Why you little...! [starts strangling Bart]
Hey, that's funny!
[Homer and Bart pause for a moment, then continue with some fake strangling, camera cuts to Homer being interviewed for the program]
HomerAnd that horrible act of child abuse became one of our most beloved running gags.
HomerDid you see that? I did the deed, open up!
[reading a newspaper] Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't looking.
HomerHey! I thought you guys could see everything!
No, you're thinking of Santa Claus.
HomerWell, I'll be damned.
I'm afraid so, yes. [pulls a cord, sending Homer to hell & the sees the Devil standing behind him]
HomerI am Homer Simpson--
Silence, sinner! Prepare for an eternity of horrible pain!
Homer[as the Devil advances on him] Oh no...! [Devil starts giving Homer a noogie]
Ha-ha! [continues to Homer, as Homer cries in pain] Oh, be quiet. You'll wake up John Wayne.
[appearing from a nearby cave] I'm already up.
[in high child's voice] Snorky speak man... [coughs, deep voice] I'm sorry, Let me start over. Eons ago, dolphins lived on the land.
What did he say!
He said years ago dolphins used to lived on the land.
[surprised] What?
Then your ancestors drove us into the sea, where we suffered for millions of years.
But you seemed so happy in the ocean. All that playful leaping...
We were trying to get out! It's cold, it's wet, every morning I wake up phlegmy.
Plus all that sewage we keep dumping.
[gasps] That was you?
HomerIt was her alright. [holds up Lisa] Take the one who wronged you!
I, King Snorky, hereby banish all humans to the sea!
Pushy Dolphins. I don't like that. [etc.]
I... I tuned out. Where are we going?
[Homer tries to call Animal Control but gets a special information tone]
Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please make sure you have the correct area code.
HomerArea code? But it's a local call!
The phone company ran out of numbers, so they split the city into two area codes. Half the town keeps the old 6-3-6 area code, and our half gets 9-3-9.
Homer9-3-9!? What the hell is that!!?? Oh, my life is ruined!
Geez, you just have to remember three extra numbers.
HomerOh, if only it were that easy Marge.
[about "New Springfield"] Scientists say they're also less attractive physically, and while we speak in a well-educated manner they tend to use low-brow expressions like "oh yeah?" and "come here a minute!"
HomerOh yeah? They think they're better than us, huh?! Bart, come here a minute.
You come here a minute!
HomerOh yeah?
[Homer and Bart try to unstick a drawer in the living room stand with a firework]
Homer, what are you doing?
HomerListen, do you want the job done right, or do you want it done fast?
Well, like all Americans, fast, but--
[lights the fuse] Clear!
[The firework explodes, knocking the drawer out and leaving blast marks, and Marge finds that she CAN slide it easily now]
You can't argue with results!
HomerDear Lord, bless this humble meal, and do you hear about Krusty? Whoo, man! I knew he was a player but, jeez, a kid!
Homer, that's not a prayer, that's gossip.
HomerFine, I'll discuss heavenly matters. [to God] So how's Maude Flanders doing up there? Is she playing the field? Oh, yeah, really? All those guys? [family stares at him in shock] Amen. [starts eating]
Homer[As he's running from the mob shooting at him] Hey, I said I was sorry.
Well, in that case we'll stop. What a class act and nice guy. [They stop shooting]
HomerSorry, you are such jerks.
Oh no! My baby's up there!
It's okay, Mom! [holds up rope] I have a safety line!
Homer[to Jesse] This is your fault, with your non-threatening Bobby-Sherman-style good looks! No girl could resist your charms!
This was her choice, Mr. Simpson.
HomerI'm sorry, I wasn't listening. I was lost in your eyes.
Mom, Dad, there's something I have to do. You're not gonna like it, but I really believe it's the right thing. [leaves]
HomerMarge, she's gonna narc on our stash!
We don't have a stash.
Homer[shifty eyes] No, of... course not.
When did we become the bottom rung of society?
HomerI think it was when that cold snap killed off all the hobos.
[The Springfield Police Department web page is shown.]
If you have committed a crime and want to confess, click 'Yes'. Otherwise, click 'No'.
[Homer clicks 'No'.]
You have chosen 'No', meaning you have committed a crime but don't want to confess. [van symbol is shown] A paddy wagon is now speeding to your home.
HomerHey!
While you wait, why not buy a police cap or T-shirt? You have the right to remain fabulous!
Well, if Mr. X were here right now. I'd buy him a tall frosty.
HomerHey, Moe. Can you keep a secret.
No.
HomerNot even a little one?
No!
HomerWhat if I just whisper it?
No, I tells ya!
