Mr. Bergstrom and Homer in “Lisa's Substitute”

Mr. Simpson, I'm going to be presumptuous. I have noticed that Lisa seems to feel she has no strong male role model.

Homer

She said that?

Well...no, she didn't say it, but, you know, she-

Homer

But you can tell, right? She looks around and sees everybody else's dad with a good education, youthful looks, and a clean credit record, and thinks, "Why me?! What did I do to deserve this fat old piece of...?!" [cries]

Mr. Simpson, you have got to be a bigger man. There is a wonderful girl's future at stake.

Homer

[perking up again] Well, if she's so wonderful, give her an A!

I am giving her an A.

Homer

Great, but don't tell her it was a favor to me. Tell her she earned it.

Mr. Simpson, she did earn it.

Homer

You are smooth, I'll give you that.
