Lisa’s Sax

I no longer want my MTV

Boy the way the Bee Gees played
Movies John Travolta made
Guessing how much Elvis weighed
Those were the days
And you knew where you were then
Watching shows like Gentle Ben
Mister we could use a man like Sheriff Lobo again
Disco Duck and Fleetwood Mac
COming out of my 8-Track
Michael Jackson still was black
Those were the days!

Lisa: Dad, you don't understand. This saxophone is like my oldest friend. I've had it for as long as I can remember.
Homer: I don't remember.
Lisa: You don't remember how you got it?
Homer: Nuh unh.
Lisa: Oh, well. It all happened in 1990. Back then, the Artist Formerly Known As Prince was currently known as Prince. Tracey Ullman was entertaining America with songs, sketches and crudely drawn filler material. And Bart was eagerly awaiting his first day of school...

Marge: Marge, name one successful person who ever lived without air conditioning.
Homer: Balzac.
Marge: No need for potty mouth just because you can't think of one.

Treehouse of Horror VIII

FOX Censor reading: No... no.... {starts laughing} No. I think we can do without the crack pipe. Oh, hi! As the FOX censor, it's my job to protect you from reality. And thanks to my prudent editing, tonight's special Halloween show has been rated TV G. This means there will be no raunchy NBC-style sex. Or senseless CBS-style violence. So sit back and enjoy a night of worry-free— {he gets stabbed by his ratings system} What the fudge! Oh for Pete's sake! Jiminy Christmas! Darnit!

Mayor Quimby: I stand by my ethnic slur! Do your worst you filthy, pretentious savages.

Comic Book Guy staring down the bomb: Oh, I've wasted my life.

Homer eating out of a can: You call that prime rib? Yech.

Dr. Hibbert: Not everyone died in the blast, Homer. Some of us were horribly mutated.

Homer: Marge! Kids! You're alive!
Lisa: All the layers of lead paint in this house made it the perfect bomb shelter.

Lisa: Wow, look at all these gadgets. If I were a nerd I'd be in Heaven.

Lisa: There's one thing I don't understand. When Bart went through the transporter, what happened to his head?
Homer: Eh. It'll turn up somewhere.

Lisa: If they're really witches why don't they use their witch power to escape?
Homer: That sounds like witch-talk to me, Lisa.
Lisa: Never mind.

Marge: Let's come to our senses, everyone. This witch hunt is turning into a circus.

Selma: You know, scaring people into giving us treats is fun. We should do this every year.
Marge: I just wish we hadn't filled up on all those kids before we got to the Flanders.

Sea Captain: And it wasn't long before this yearly custom became an annual tradition.

The Cartridge Family

Bart: Yo! Paella Man! Wing one up here!

Marge: Homer, we've got to get out of here.
Homer: Oh! But I want to do some rioting.

Ex-con Salesman: But surely you can't put a price on your family's lives?
Homer: I wouldn't have thought so either, but here we are.

Homer: I'd like to buy your deadliest gun please.
Aisle six. Next to the sympathy cards.

The law requires a five-day waiting period. We've got to run a background check.
Homer: Five days! But I'm mad now! I'd kill you if I had my gun.
Yeah well, you don't.

Marge: Homer! I don't want guns in my house! Don't you remember when Maggie shot Mr. Burns?
Homer: I thought Smithers did it.
Lisa: That would have made more sense.

Homer: But I have to have a gun! It's in the Constitution.
Lisa: Dad! The second amendment is just a remnant from Revolutionary Day. It has no meaning today.
Homer: You couldn't be more wrong, Lisa. If I didn't have this gun, the King of England could just walk in here any time he wants and start shoving you around. You want that? Huh! Do you?!
Lisa: No.

Bart the Star

I did not invent Irish dancing

Dr. Hibbert: Well, your cholesterol level is lethally high, Homer, but I'm more concerned about your gravy levels.
Homer: Now wait a second. You doctors have been telling us to drink eight glasses of gravy a day.
Dr. Hibbert: You're a little confused.
Homer: Oh ho. Confused, would we?

Marge: You know, Homer, it's very easy to criticize.
Homer: Fun too.

Marge: You shouldn't pressure Bart like that.
Homer: Well if you know a better way for me to live through my son I'd like to hear it.

Homer: Son, you can do anything you want. I have total faith in you.

Bart: Good.

Nelson: I gotta quit smoking.

Hank Hill (Mike Judge): We drove two thousand miles for this?

Homer: I'm feeling kinda low, Apu. Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it. You know, Skittlebrau.

Homer: Oh. Then just gimme a six pack and a bag of Skittles.

Homer: You're cut too, shushy!

The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons

Apu: Is it me or do your plans involve some horrible web of lies?
Homer: It's you.

Lisa: Can I ask you about your dot?
Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilon: What would you like to know?
Lisa: What's the deal with that dot?
Bart: Yeah, can you see out of it? Does it change colors when you're ticked off?
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.
Lisa: Fully.

Marge: I've been looking over this list of things for the ceremony. I've got the extra wine glasses, but I'm still short a Tandoori oven, an elephant and four castrati.
Bart: What's a castrati?
Marge: I don't know, but I'm sure it's spicy.

Bart: Wow! I wish I had an elephant.
Lisa: You did. His name was Stampy. You loved him.
Bart: Oh yeah.

Lisa the Skeptic

Marge: I don't know. There's something very peculiar about this.

Smithers: You mean the revolver, sir?
Burns: Precisely. Be sure to wipe your own memory clear when you're finished.

Marge: My poor Lisa. If you can't make a leap of faith now and then... well. I feel sorry for you.
Lisa: Don't feel sorry for me, Mom. I feel sorry for you.

Bart: Why are we getting dressed up, Mom? Are we going to Black Angus?
Marge: Well, you might say we're going to the best steak house in the universe.
Bart: So we're not going to Black Angus.

Marge: Well I guess you were right, honey. But you have to admit, when that angel started to talk, you were squeezing my hand pretty hard.
Lisa: Well it was just so loud, and.... Thanks for squeezing back.
Marge: Anytime, my angel.

Homer: No I don't. I hate to rhyme!

Lisa: No! Then who'll chop off my hands?

Homer: I have not been brainwashed. Kill the girl... kill the girl...

Marge: Now, how are we going to get my Homey back?

Lisa the Simpson

Lisa: Dear Log, Can it be true? Do all Simpsons go through a process of dumbening? {she stops} Wait, that's not how you spell dumbening. Wait, dumbening isn't even a word!
