Mr. Burns and Homer in “Simpson and Delilah”

Mr. Burns

[angry over Homer's failed speech] Well, well...our dashing young junior executive. You made a mockery of our meeting! I should fire you on the spot! [calms down] But I'm not going to.

Homer

[confused] Why?

Mr. Burns

How old do you think I am?

Homer

I don't know...102?

Mr. Burns

I'm only 81. [produces photo album. First photo shows him as a baby with a full head of hair] You may find this hard to believe, but in my salad days...my glory was a bright shock of strawberry blonde curls. [subsequent photos show him playing sports and at school dances] Oh, I was big man on campus, until my senior year... [final photo shows him in a lab with a receding hairline] ...when I became as bald as a plucked chicken. [sadly] You see, Simpson...I too know the sting of...male-patterned baldness. That's why I'm giving you your old job back.

Homer

What? [bends his knees] Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mr. Burns

Oh, now get outta here before I reconsider.

Homer

Oh. [gets up and leaves] Better hurry up.
