[grabbing Marge] Yer gotta redda kid forrad yarrar!
MargeHomer, what is it? Slow down!
[slowly, but still furious] J'yer gedda ferda redderarrar.
MargeThink before you say each word.
You broke a promise to your child.
MargeWhat?
You promised Lisa to help her with her costume. You made her cry. Then I cried. Then Maggie laughed -- she's such a little trooper.
[Marge convinces Bart to perform one more time.]
You're right, Mom. I shouldn't let this bother me. I'm in television now. It's my job to be repetitive. My job. My job. Repetitiveness is my job. [to Marge] I'm gonna go out there and give the best performance of my life!
MargeThe best performance of your life?
The best performance of my life!
[to Bart] And now you can go back to just being you, instead of a one-dimensional character with a silly catchphrase.
[breaking a lamp] D'oh!
Ay, caramba!
Marge[groans]
[sucks her pacifier]
Hi-dilly-ho!
[belches]
Ha, ha!
Excellent.
[Long pause. Everyone looks expectantly at Lisa.]
If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room. [She walks away.]
What kind of catchphrase is that?
Apu, you saved my life. And as a small token of my appreciation, I got you your job back at the Kwik-E-Mart.
Oh! Oh, Mr. Woods, you're--
But as for me, I'm off to battle aliens on a faraway planet.
MargeThat sounds like a good movie.
Yes... yes, a... a movie, yes.
[Homer is buttering a muffin that he got out of an E-Z Bake Oven as he's driving]
MargeMmm, I don't know if that's a good idea to do while you're driving.
Marge, that's what I bought it for.
[Ned has just offered Homer tickets to the game]
Why do you mock me, Lord?
MargeHomer, that's not God. That's just a waffle Bart threw up there
[Marge knocks it down]
I know I shouldn't eat thee but... [does it anyway] Mmmm, sacril-licious
Bart (waves two pieces of paper in front of Homer's face): Hey, Dad, sell you these for fifty bucks.
Woo hoo! Sold! (Bart takes the money and runs off)
MargeThose aren't tickets to the game, Homer.
What do you mean? It says right here: "Free wig with every purchase of large wig. Downtown Wig Center". (screams): Why you little -- (immediately calms down as he sits down and thinks it over): Hmm, free wig.
(Homer imagines himself with Marge's hair, as he looks at himself in the mirror)
Homer (imitating Marge): I love you, Homie. Mmm. (normal voice): Heh, heh, heh. I don't need her at all anymore.
Look at this, Marge: $58 and all of it profit! I'm the smartest businessman in the world.
MargeStampy's food bill today was $300.
[scared] Marge, please, don't humiliate me in front of the money.
[The Simpsons family are eating dinner, Bart throws peas at Lisa]
Hey! Mom, Bart's throwing peas!
MargeBart, don't throw peas at your sister.
Mr. Burns throws peas at Smithers. [throws another peas at Lisa]
Ow! That was a big one!
MargeHomer, say something.
Okay. Lisa, quit getting in the way of your wealthy brother's peas.
Marge[groans]
Oh, yuck. Meat loaf. My most hated of all loafs. [feeds his piece to SHL]
[gasps] That was the end piece! [turns red in anger] That's it! Being abusive to your family is one thing but I will not stand idly by and watch you feed a hungry dog! [point upwards] Go to your room!
No! This family stinks! Mr. Burns nurtures my destructive side. I'm suffocating here.
Bart, you listen!
Oh, go eat some flowers! [tosses flowers at Homer]
My secret shame.
[Bart storms out of his house, riding his bicycle]
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, your son has clearly been brainwashed by the evil and charismatic Mr. Burns.
MargeAre you sure you can get him back for us?
Absolutely. I'm the one who successfully deprogrammed Jane Fonda, you know.
MargeWhat about Peter Fonda?
Oh, that was a heartbreaker. But I did get Paul McCartney out of Wings.
You idiot! He was the most talented one!
People, that was all wrong! Homer Simpson doesn't say "Boh", he says... [Flips through a script to he gets to a page.] Doh!
[The fake Homer and Marge take off their masks.]
Sorry, M.B., but I'm having trouble with this character. Is he supposed to have some kind of neurological impairment like Rain Man or Awakenings. I mean, what the hell am I doing here?
And this dialogue has none of the wit and sparkle of Murphy Brown.
[Takes off his mask and smokes his cigar] Hey, you know we are getting into Golden Time.
Yes well just get it right, or you'll be back doing Come Blow Your Horn at the Westport Dinner Theatre.
Mom, what if there's a really bad, crummy guy who's going to jail, but I know he's innocent?
MargeWell, Bart, your Uncle Arthur used to have a saying: "Shoot 'em all and let God sort them out." Unfortunately, one day he put his theory into practice. It took 75 Federal Marshals to bring him down. Now let's never speak of this again. [she then starts humming and dusting the TV]
Mom, what if I can get this guy off the hook? Should I do it?
MargeHoney, you should listen to your heart... and not the voices in your head, like a certain uncle did one gray December morn.
MargeHomer, you didn't do a very good job frosting Maggie's birthday cake.
[The cake reads, "Happy Birthday Magaggie".]
What? It's not Magaggie's birthday?
[Homer and Marge are discussing ways for Homer to better himself.]
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?
MargeThat's because you were drunk!
And how.
