Homer

[edit]
  • [whips dogs while using them for dog-sledding] Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! [jumps from one slope to the other side] Jump! Jump! Land! Land! [while dogs rest] Rest! Rest! [while dogs running again] Run! Run! [after stopping for the night] Now I know we've had a rough day, but I'm sure we can put all that behind us and just- [the dogs maul him] That's my whipping arm! [the dogs abandon him] Oh, why does everything I whip leave me?
  • [sings while playing with his pig]
Spider Pig. Spider Pig.
Does whatever a Spider Pig does.
Can he swing from a web?
No, he can't. He's a pig.
Look out!
He is a Spider Pig.

Lisa

[edit]
  • [Lisa has a girl talk with Marge about Colin] I still haven't told you the best part! He cares about the environment! No! I still haven't told you the best part! He's got an [with a heavy Irish accent] Irish brogue! [In normal voice] No, wait, I still haven't told you the best part! He's not imaginary!

Mr. Burns

[edit]
  • So...you want some of my electricity, do you? Well, for once the rich white man is in control! I have two buttons behind this desk: one will supply your town with power, the other releases the hounds. Reach me. Make me your brother.

Professor Frink

[edit]
  • [Springfield has been trapped inside a dome]
  • People! I have an important announcement. I have been working on a new acid-firing super-drill that can cut through anything. [pointing] It's right there...just outside of the dome.

Dialogue

[edit]
[The Simpsons are watching an Itchy & Scratchy movie at the cinema]
Homer: Boring!
Lisa: Dad, we can't see the movie!
Homer: I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on TV for free! If you ask me, everybody in this theater is a giant sucker... [turns to face the camera and points straight forward, referring to the viewer] Especially you!
[Homer and Bart are on the ceiling and Homer tries to repair the roof]
Homer: Steady. Steady. [gets the hammer in the eye, he screams and Bart laughs, then turns red in anger] Why you little! [strangles Bart] I'll teach you to laugh at something that's funny! [stops strangling Bart, turns his face normal]
Bart: You know, we are on the roof. We could have some fun.
Homer: What kind of fun?
Bart: How about a dare contest?
Homer: That sounds fun. I dare you to...climb the TV antenna!
Bart: [climbs up to the antenna] Piece of cake.
Homer: Earthquake! [shakes the TV antenna so Bart falls down and hangs on the drainpipe] Aftershock! [shakes again]
Ned: Homer, I don't mean to be a Nervous Pervis but if he falls, couldn't that make your boy a paraplege-arino?
Homer: Shut up, Flanders.
Bart: Yeah, shut up, Flanders.
Homer: Well said, boy. [they high five; prepares to hammer Bart's fingers] Steady. Steady. Steady... [falls through the roof. Bart laughs in amusement. In the room under the newly-created hole, Grampa can be seen reading an 'Oatmeal Enthusiast' magazine]
Homer: Okay, I dare you to skateboard to the Krusty Burger and back...naked.
Bart: How naked?
Homer: Fourth base.
Bart: But the girls might see my doodles.
Homer: [sarcastically] Oh, I see! Then I'll declare you chicken for life! Every morning, you'll wake up "Good morning, chicken"! And at your wedding, I'll sing... [sings a wedding song with chicken voice] Bwak bwak bwak bwak! Bwak bwak bwak- [Bart skateboards away, naked; shocked] Bwak?!
[Bart sets off through town on his skateboard naked]
Ralph: [to himself] I like men now.
Agnes Skinner: Don't look where I'm pointing! [covers Bart's penis with her finger]
[Bart's penis is covered almost all the time, before it's finally shown for a second. The police see that Bart's naked and begins to hunt him; siren went off]
Clancy Wiggum: [through the megaphone] Stop in the name of American squeamishness!
[Lou shoots, but misses, causing Bart to crash and flying in the air; cut to the Krusty Burger where Flanders family eats]
Ned: Boys, before we eat, don't forget to thank the Lord for this bountiful... [Bart lands on the window in front of them naked] Penis!
Rod and Todd: [together] Bountiful penis.
Todd: Amen.
Bart: Did you at least bring my clothes?
Homer: Shirt, socks, everything you need.
Bart: [covers his penis with his shirt] You didn't bring my pants!
Homer: Who am I, Tommy Bahama?
Bart: [blushes in embarrassment] Oh, this is the worst day of my life.
Homer: The worst day of your life so far.
Homer: [eats a burger, then talks with mouthful] Hey, what's with you?
Bart: You really wanna know?
Homer: Of course I do. What kind of a father wouldn't care about...? [happily shouting] A pig wearing a hat!
[Plopper wears a hat, Krusty is waiting for a commercial]
Stage Manager: Action!
Krusty: Hey, hey! It's your old pal Krusty, for my new pork sandwich, the Clogger. If you can buy a greasier sandwich, you're in Mexico! [laughs, take a bite of a clogger] Hmm!
Stage Manager: And we're clear!
Krusty: [splits it clogger out, throws a bin] Perfect! Cut, print, kill the pig.
[The butch pulls out the knife, Plopper squeals]
Homer: What?! You can't kill him if he's wearing people clothes! [Plopper shakes his costume off and runs up to him; imagines dancing around in the field of flowers with Plopper during the Turtles' song "Happy Together"; back to reality] You're coming home with me.
[Fat Tony drags a bag towards the lake to get rid of it; feet are poking out of the top and it obviously contains a murder victim]
Wiggum: Sorry, sorry, no dumping in the lake.
Tony: Fine. I will put my [air quotes] "yard trimmings" in a car compactor. [leaves]
Lou: Uh, Chief, I think he was a dead body in there.
Wiggum: I thought that too, until he said "yard trimmings". Ya gotta learn to listen, Lou.
Cargill: [enters the Oval Office] President Schwarzenegger.
President Schwarzenegger: Ja, that is me.
Cargill: Pollution in Springfield has reached crisis levels.
President Schwarzenegger: Ach! I hate this job. Everything is "crisis this" and "end-of-the-world that"! No one opens with a joke! I miss Danny DeVito.
Cargill: You wanna joke, huh? Stop me if you've heard this one. [holds up cage with the mutant squirrel with many eyes]
President Schwarzenegger: [gasp] Look at all those angry eyes and pointy teeth! It's like Christmas at the Kennedy Compound!
Cargill: You know, sir, when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing one of the most successful of the America to the least successful agency in government. And why did I take the job? 'Cause I'm a rich man, and wanted to give something back. Not the money, but something. So here's our chance to kick some ass for Mother Earth!
President Schwarzenegger: I'm listening.
Cargill: [gets out five files] Well, I've narrowed your choices down to 5 unthinkable options. Each will cause untold misery and-
President Schwarzenegger: [points to the third file] I pick number 3.
Cargill: You don't even wanna read 'em first?
President Schwarzenegger: I was elected to lead, not to read. Number 3!
EPA Soldier: I'm afraid we lost them, sir.
Cargill: Damn it! [throws the binoculars at the dome, but it bounces back and hits him in the face] Ow! Well, then you find 'em, and you get 'em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft!
[Pause]
Soldier: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.
Cargill: Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, no one listens to you.
Bart: Now that is a great father-son activity.
[Homer nods]
Cargill: [levels a shotgun at Homer and Bart] Hello, Homer.
Homer: So, we meet at last, whoever you are.
Cargill: There's a couple of things they don't teach you in Harvard Business School. One is how to cope with defeat; the other is how to handle a shotgun. I'm going to do both right now.
Bart: Wait! If you kill my dad, you'll never know where the treasure is buried.
Cargill: What treasure?
Bart: The treasure of Imawiener.
Cargill: I'm a wiener? [Homer and Bart laugh]
Homer: [wipes away a tear] Classic.
Cargill: [last words] Well, always leave them laughing. Goodbye, sir. [As he is about to shoot Homer, a rock knocks Cargill out. Maggie is up on the cliff]
Homer: [relieved] Maggie! What a great little accident you turned out to be!
[Maggie winks, does a hand gun gesture at Homer, and walks off]
[After the credits, the Squeaky-Voiced Teen is seen sweeping the theater floor, pulls a wad of gum off his broom]
Squeaky-Voiced Teen: Assistant Manager isn't all it's cracked up to be. [continues to clean up his broom] Four years of film school for this?
