Scenes with Mr. Burns 108

Mr. Burns

What are you doing in my corpse hatch?

Mr. Burns, you're under arrest!

Mr. Burns

Did I say "corpse hatch"? Uh... I meant "innocence tube"!

Just one thing, are you guys good at covering youthful and middle aged indiscretions?

Mr. Burns

Are these indiscretions romantic, financial or treasonous?

Russian hooker, you tell me.

Mr. Burns

Oh, no problem. We'll say you were on a fact-finding mission!

I did find out one fact; she was a guy!

Mr. Burns

This is an outrage. Since when are public figures fair game for satire?

Well your goons did run her off the road sir.

Mr. Burns

I can't be held responsible for what my goons were ordered to do.

So, Mr. Burns, you're saying my dad has gone insane, and thinks he's a god, and broken off all contact with the outside world?

I told you Simpson was a poor choice, sir.

Mr. Burns

You know, Smithers, "I told you so" has a brother. His name is, "Shut the hell up"!

[At an auction for a "Kissing Lincolns Penny"]

Five dollars!

Mr. Burns

Five hundred.

Five dollars, cash.

HHost

Sir, the promise of cash is not an endorsement. The current bid is $500. Going once, going twice--

Dad!

Five hundred-one!

Mr. Burns

Ten million.

Objection, Your Honor!

Mr. Burns

Who is that man and why isn't his enthusiasm being punished?

That's Mark Cuban, sir. He's the most flamboyant owner in the league.

MCMark Cuban

[Slides down a zip line from a hook while holding a fire cracker.] [enthusiastically] I'M OUT OF MY MIND!

[Smithers saves Mr. Burns' life after a parachute jump gone wrong]

Mr. Burns

[steps on Smithers' head] I did it! All by myself! [looks at Waylon] Oh, Smithers, do you always have to be underfoot?

Sorry, sir. If there was a less spectacular way to save your life, I... I should've found it.

Mr. Burns, coming down I... I thought we weren't gonna make it, and I thought I'd never get to say something I've always wanted to. The truth is, sir, I'm in love with...

Mr. Burns

The sound of your own voice? Yes, well, no dogwood, I, listening to the nightingale trill her unending tune! Don't take this the wrong way, but you mean nothing to me. Someone I give less thought to than the little piece of popcorn stuck in my tooth. Ooh, can you remove it? [Smithers removes the popcorn stuck in Burn's teeth] I'll see you back at the office. Don't be late!

[on a phone call with Marge] Marge, baby, I'm out the door.

Are you sure? Because sometimes people say they're out the door when they really haven't left yet.

Those people are horrible, horrible liars. See you soon! [hangs up the phone]

Mr. Burns

Simpson! Not so fast. Hold up one end of this poster! [Homer and Smithers hold a "Safety first, last and always" poster] Now use it to conceal this. [they close a leak with the poster] Excellent. Now, let me just crank up the plumb bob to determine the vertical marvel, we'll have this poster level in under three hours!
