Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool—not caring, right?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried everything here.

Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilon: You tell me.
Bart: Nothing yet.
Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilon: Surely you children are aware of your Brahmin heritage.
Bart: As long as you have absolutely no follow-up questions, yes. Yes, we are.

Bart: Wicca's a Hollywood fad.

Burns: Maybe you should just go!
Lisa: I can't! My mom's not picking me up for an hour.

Season 16
Lisa: We're supposed to do this without parental help.

weird guys who's 35 and shows up at high school basketball games.
Homer: Stupid family. Won't even come to my Rapture. I went to Lisa's play! Which had serious pacing problems.

Homer: .15!
Marge: .09!

Lisa: I never dreamed an America car designed in Germany, assembled in Mexico, from parts made in Canada could be so amazing!
Bart: Hey, I didn't know this park was here.
Lisa: You wrote a report on it last week.
Bart: The internet wrote it. I just handed it in.
Marge: So how was your outside time?
Lisa: We were never outside! We were here all day!

Lisa: BART. San Francisco People Mover!
Bart: Speaking of San Francisco People Movers...
Lisa: Guess what, mom? I'm a cruciverbalist!
Marge: Another religion? You know you're just going to drop the whole thing when you go to college and get a Jewish boyfriend.
Lisa: Probably. But a cruciverbalist is a fan of crossword puzzles. Which I am!
Grampa: Me too. I've been doing them since 1958. Back then we called them "alphabet hotels" because every letter gets its own little room.
Lisa: Grampa, everyone knows that the only real test of skill is the New York Times puzzle, edited by Will Shortz.
Grampa: Will and shorts. Two things I'm no longer allowed to change by myself.
Marge about the model UN: Are you saying Lisa's not there?
Martin: To the extent that you can trust the word of a Belgian, yes!
Lisa: Dad, just because you won a high school election doesn't mean your whole life would've been better.
Homer: That's exactly what it means! And Dondelinger took that life away from me. And the taking of a life is murder. And the punishment for murder is— well it varies from state to state and by race.
Lisa: As a rational skeptic I find that hard to believe. Also as a vegetarian I hope there's not meat in that sauce.
Luigi: Any other orders, Mussolini?
Lisa: Dad! Bart's throwing away his future!
Homer: Oh no! Now who will sell oranges on the off-ramp?
Chalmers: Lisa, like Captain Kirk I'm not supposed to interfere. But like TJ Hooker I say what is on my mind. If you don't know the answer just guess.
Marge: How about a family outing?
Bart: A family outing? I'll start. Lisa's gay!
Marge to herself: Wait a second Marge. Do you really want to use your baby as a tool to spy on your husband?
Lisa: Yes you do.
Marge: I wasn't talking to you.
Lisa: When you say it, it's not just in your head.
Lisa: Okay people, we've hit penumbra. Brace yourself for umbra!
Homer: He's nailing something to our door!
Lisa: Hm. I wonder if it's theses.
Homer: That's gross.
Mr. Burns: Well well. If it isn't the Tardy Boys and Nancy Clueless.
Lisa: Mr. Burns! What are you doing here?
Mr. Burns: Oh I've known about the gem for years. You see, dear girl, I joined the Freemasons before it was trendy. That's my eyeball on the dollar bill. That's also my pyramid.
Homer: I'm sorry. I got carried away. From now on the only thing I'll ever do for you is co-sign if you want a gun. But at least I made Lisa popular. he gets a text. "I Ha-Eight This"? Wha?
Lisa: I'm sorry Dad, these girls are nice on the surface but it's hard work staying this shallow. I hope you understand.
Homer: Yeah. It's clear to me now. The best thing I can do as a parent is simply check out.
Lisa: No. There's a middle ground.
Homer: Lisa, the light bulb is either on or it's off.
Lisa: Not if you use a dimmer switch.
Homer: That's what the dimmer switch companies want you to think.
Lisa: Bart, in my concurrent adventure I learned a really important lesson.

Lisa: Could you?
Alaska Nebraska: First, riddle me this: what's your favorite episode of my show?
Lisa: You have a show?
Kate Lynn: Those are last year's shoes! Kill her!
Caitlin: Also, it's Lisa.
Kate Lynn: Kill her twice!
Lisa: Looks like Maggie wants a story too.
Marge: Oo! The Fountainhead.
Lisa: Isn't that book the bible of right-wing losers?
Mrs. Skinner: Yeah, but the guy on the book jacket is one sexy slice of beefcake.
Season 21
Bart: Oh my god, I want a brother!
Lisa: You can have mine, but he's kind of an idiot.
Lisa: Bart, I'm losing my grip.
Bart: Put the rope in your teeth.
Lisa: What will that do?
Bart: It'll shut you up.
Lisa: I traded away my pearls. Without them I'm just a big Maggie!
Marge: Then again, there's only one way to get an accurate reading. Bart. Pants!
Lisa: Just close your eyes and think of Milhouse.
Marge: Yep. One-oh-three on the dot. You're staying home.
Lisa: How did you— ?
Bart: I don't want to talk about it.
Lisa: Congratulations. You're officially a sociopath.

Bart: I already do that.

Lisa: Well, I am so happy to be in your class.
Ms. Marshall: No I'm your teacher. I only teach you. Your short story about the lonely pony? Gripping.
Lisa: Did you get that the pony was actually me?
Ms. Marshall: It hit me the next day, and I read the whole thing again. I thought we'd start this semester by turning this into a novel.
Lisa: Self-published?
Ms. Marshall: Real-published.
Lisa: Oh!
Lisa: Yes, I believe I have your pigeon—Raymond Bird—and I need to know how to return him to you.
Pigeon Guy: He's a homing pigeon, girlie. Why don't you let him fly home unless you want to spring for a limo.
Lisa: Yes he could fly home, except that he has a broken wing. Perhaps you and your sarcasm could come to Springfield and retrieve him.
Lisa: It's amazing how I can feel sorry for you and hate you at the same time. I'm sure there's a German word for it.
Marge: Lisa, what are you doing?
Lisa: Marking a crime scene! To celebrate an ancient pagan ritual, this tree was cut-down and tarted-up like a dime-a-dance floozy! {pulls out a Fir is murder! sign}
Marge: Next you'll have a problem with my gingerbread house.

Lisa with a toy elephant and a copy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: This is the last time I bring these two to bed at the same time.
Lisa: Ms. Stewart, I made a star for the tree out of discarded water bottles.
Martha Stewart: Lovely, dear. Except I would have soaked the labels off with warm water. Then I would have melted the plastic down in a double-boiler and poured it into a candy mold. And finally, I wouldn't have presented it quite so proudly.
Lisa: I'll go outside and make snow angels.
Martha Stewart: Lie face down, and your beautiful smile will be molded into the snow.
Lisa: Okay.
Lisa: Can we hurry this up? I am really uncomfortable being a girl in this store!
Lisa: I can't take it. I'm just going to draw a hairline on.
Lisa: Mom, your choice to go back to blue is so empowering.
Marge: But you said going from blue to gray was empowering.
Lisa: As a feminist, virtually anything a woman does is empowering.
Marge: Oh.
Homer: Is my job creating power empowering?
Lisa: No. It's oddly dehumanizing.
Lisa: Now they're aggressive again! I'm sure there's a correlation. But could there be a... causation?
Lisa: Wow. I know I laid down in front of bulldozers to stop this stadium from being built, but I have to admit it's pretty sweet.
Lisa: This is our house. There's nothing buried here but hopes and dreams.
Selma: Lisa, this is going too slow for me. And I work at the DMV.
Patty: Mind if we take a nap?
Lisa: I'll have to go more neo-classical and less Man Ray-ist, but okay.
Selma: Actually, it's kind of cute. You look like Posh Spice.
Homer: That's just what I was going for. to Lisa: I was going for Scary.
Bart: Dad, the cake!
Lisa: Dad, our lives!
Homer: Fine.
Lisa: I've discovered a mystery wrapped in a riddle in the basement of a lousy school!
Lisa: So the answer to our mystery lies on the other side of that ice bridge.
Bart: It's summertime. The ice bridge will be a water nothing.
Lisa: There's two things you didn't count on. My dad getting a giant wedding cake and my sister locking herself in the car.
Skinner: We planned for the wedding cake. We just didn't see the baby thing coming.
Chalmers: Well you should have.
Skinner: How could I? She wasn't even born yet.
