Marge: Homer! I believe what happened in church was a warning about precisely this. Please, get rid of that pig.
Homer: Oh, you're gonna love him. Look, he does an impression of you. You nailed her. He also does me. You smiled. I'm off the hook. Oh, you have so many looks.
Bart: So that's what snug is.
Homer: Who's a good pig? Who's a good pig?
Flanders: Rough day, huh, son?
Bart: You don't know what rough is, sister.
Flanders: Bart, you know, whenever my boys bake up a batch of frownies I take them fishing. Does your dad ever take you fishing?
Bart: Dad, it's not fair to use a bug zapper to catch the fish.
Homer: If you love fish like I do, you want them to die with dignity. I think I have a nibble.
Bart: I think fishing might be more fun with you.
Flanders: Oh, great. Now, how about I fix you some cocoa?
Bart: No way. Cocoa's for wusses.
Flanders: Well, sir, if you change your mind, it's on the windowsill.
