Marge: Of course! You're Denis Leary.

Denis Leary: I should be a lot of things, lady.

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.

Grampa: Will and shorts. Two things I'm no longer allowed to change by myself.

Take My Life, Please

Lisa: Dad, just because you won a high school election doesn't mean your whole life would've been better.

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.

Skinner: Time to do what I've never done as principal. Something!

Groundskeeper Willie: Skinner! Otto! Bullies! The cowabunga kid. And the wee nit wit. It's so good to see you all.

Pilot: Welcome to Ireland. Also known as the Emerald Isle, Potatoville. East Boston. Freckle Bog, the Land of Poetry and the Land of Bad Poetry.
