TV show quotes
[Bart has aired a segment of "Bart's People" featuring the man that fed the ducks, but they left to the other side of the pond]
[sniffling] Smithers, do you think maybe my power plant killed those ducks?
There's no maybe about it, sir.
[sniffling] Excellent.
They want sentiment? I'll pump 'em so full of sap they'll be blowing their nose with a pancake!
I'll show Lisa who's dumb.
[He picks up newspaper]
Supreme Court reverses...uuuhh, I won't turn to the comics, I won't turn to the comics! All right, I'll read one comic just to get me rolling. Archie. "Hey, Jughead, did you hear, the Supreme Court reversed"...ooohh!
Hmm, thank you Bart, for yet another touching "Bart's People". Now,turning to...
I just think our veterans deserve a little recognition.
That's what Veteran's Day is for, Bart.
But is that really enough to honor our brave soldiers?
Eh, heh, heh...they also have Memorial Day.
Oh, Lisa, maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong! The important thing is, veterans deserve a day to honor them!
[through clenched teeth] They have two!
Well, maybe they should have three. I'm Bart Simpson.
Dad, is this another one of those situations that could be solved by a simple apology?
I never apologize, Lisa. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am.
[Homer chases the garbage truck holding his garbage bin, only to give up angrily]
You guys are the lousiest garbage men ever! YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU!! YOU TRASH-EATIN' STINKBAGS!! [the garbage truck screeches to a halt] Uh-oh...
[the garbage men's truck reverses back to Homer]
What did you call us?!
[intimidated] I dunno... a lot of people yelling stuff.
Yeah, you called us "trash-eatin' stinkbags!"
Didn't ya learn anything from Love Day?!
[pokes him] That was yesterday, moron.
Good morning, trash pile. How's my—hey... [trash pile is completely gone] Woo-hoo! I won!
[later in the kitchen]
This is a very, very proud day for us, especially me. Your father, ME, beat city hall! It's just like David and Goliath, only this time, David won.
I know. I heard it too. Here's some music. ["Für Elise" plays and Lisa blisses away. Homer turns to Marge]
And to think you wanted me to crawl, Marge. Well, this man does not crawl, he stands tall! That rhymes Marge, and you know it rhymes, admit it.
Aw Homer, you did not beat city hall! They picked up our trash because I sent a letter of apology to the sanitation commissioner and signed your name – PERIOD.
Yo... You signed my name?! I feel so violated!
You have signed my name lots of times.
But this isn't like a loan, application or a will! You signed away my dignity! And I'm going to get it back. Lisa, do I have my pants on?
Yes.
Perfect.
I wanna register the booth for sanitation commissioner! And tell the fat cats upstairs, "Things are gonna change in this town!"
OK, but this is where you register as a sex offender.
[Moe enters]
Aw geez, there's always a line...
[Ray Patterson bursts through the door, panting as he reaches his podium next to Homer]
Sorry I'm late, everyone. [accusingly to Homer]: Somebody tampered with my brakes. [everyone gasps]
Well, then you should've been early. [the whole crowd laughs uproariously]
Hey, he got you there, Ray.
Oh, come on, people. This man has promised round-the-clock trash pickup, that's impossible.
Not if we hire more men, and my men'll do all your messy jobs. They'll wash your car, scrub your shower, air out your stinkables.
[the entire crowd applauds enthusiastically. Patterson is dumbfounded]
I can't believe what I'm hearing!
Well, then you'd better turn up your hearing aid, Pops.
"Pops"? I'm only two years older than you!
Do we want Old Man Patterson here with his finger on the button?
What button?! What the hell are you talking about?!
[mocking] "What? What? What? What button? Where am I? Who took my false teeth?"
[on Homer running for sanitation commissioner] I don't know Ray Patterson, but he's no Ray Patterson.
Yeah, Homer's a great nuclear safety inspector, but I don't know if I'd trust him with my garbage.
You're gonna need to come up with a slogan that'll appeal to all the lazy slobs out there.
Aww, can't someone else do it?
"Can't someone else do it?" That's perfect.
Really?
[campaigning] Aren't you tired of having to peel that last snotty Kleenex from the bottom of your wastebasket?
I'll say!
Okay, before I show you, who wants to guess how I got the money?
Dealing drugs?
Drugs?
I'll have to say drugs too.
Close, but you're way off.
[the family arrive at the Outskirts to see garbage trucks from different states dumping their garbage in a mine beneath Springfield]
Look at that beautiful garbage. Other cities don't want it, so they pay me to dump it in this old abandoned mine.
That's awful! I almost wish it was drugs.
Some of it is.
[Bart points to a New York garbage truck dumping a large amount of syringes, firearms and grenades]
[Homer calmly enters his office with a briefcase, where he is greeted by a bunch of angry sanitation workers]
Morning, boys.
Where's our paychecks, you bum? [the head garbageman comes at Homer's desk with a baseball bat]
My men ain't workin' another minute until we get paid.
[Homer unhinges briefcase to reveal stacks of money]
Will cash be okay?
Will it?
[Mayor Quimby barges into Homer's office]
Did I just hear a briefcase opening?
Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Oh, here we go...
How many spoons have you got now, Adam?
Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Can I see it? [... tossed it behind]
My spoon! [the spoon lands on Mr. Burns' head]
Ow! [mutters behind Bono and The Edge] Wankers.
