Bart Gets Famous/Quotes


 * [Bart enters the kitchen whistling the Simpsons theme.]

Bart, I asked you not to whistle that annoying tone!


 *  [ Box Factory.]

...many interesting and important things have been put into boxes over the years. Textiles, other boxes, even children's candy. Do any of these boxes have candy in them? No. Will they ever? No, we only make boxes that ship nails. Any other questions? When will we be able to see a finished box, sir? Oh we don't assemble them here. That's done in Flint, Michigan. Have any of your workers ever had their hands cut off by the machinery? No. And then the hand started crawling around and try to strangle everybody? No, that has never happened. Any popped eyeballs? I'm not sure what kind of factory you are thinking of. We just make boxes here.

And now you can go back to being you instead of a one-dimensional character with a silly catch phrase. [smashes a lamp] D'oh! Ay caramba! Hmm...
 * [Maggie sucks on her pacifier.].

Hi-diddly-ho!
 * [Barney belches.]

Ha Ha! Excellent...!
 * [Everyone stares at Lisa.]

...if anyone wants me, I'll be in my room.
 * [Silence after she has left.]

What kind of a catchphrase is that?

Action!
 * [Bumblebee Man is jumping around the set with lobsters attached to his rear end.]

Ay ya ya yai, no me gusta! Ay...
 * [Bumblebee Man breaks character.]
 * [Director comes on stage.]

[natural voice] Uh, I'm sorry, I'm really not comfortable with this scene. What's the matter lad? It's just, just that it's the same old kind of gag, isn't it. I mean, let's give the audience some credit. How about a gigantic mousetrap? I love it!
 * [Grips remove lobsters and attach a mousetrap to the stinger of Bumblebee Man's costume.]

Action!
 * [Bumblebee Man is jumping around the set with the mousetrap attached to his rear end.]

Ay ay ay! No me gusta! Ay, es grande!

Yeah, I know I'm on. But I don't care. I don't read the news until I get my danish. Go ahead, try to find a replacement. A powerful tidal wave in Kuala Lumpur has killed one hundred and twenty people. Ay, chihuahua! Whoa, whoa, whoa!


 * [Bart opens the gate to Channel 6 and the gate guard shuts it.]

Ah, ah, ah! Do you work here little boy? Yeah. Well then go right in sir. [opens the gate]


 * [Bart's schoolfriends are looking around the box factory for Bart.]

I'll handle this. Simpson, I'm giving you till the count to three to come out! One! Two! Three! No response That's all I can do. We better call his parents.
 *  [ Simpson residence. Phone rings in the kitchen. Marge comes running downstairs wearing only a towel.]

Just a minute! Don't hang up! [Marge fails to pick up phone before ringing stops]
 * [Box factory.]

No answer at home. I'll call his father.
 *  [ SNPP. Phone rings. Homer comes running of decontamination showers weaing only a towel

Just a minute don't hang up! [unlike Marge, Homer makes it to the phone in time] Y'ello? You'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel.


 * [Box factory. Homer grabbed Principal Skinner by lapels.]

What do you mean you lost him? He might've fallen into one of these machines!
 * [Box comes off assembly line wearing Bart's red hat.]

Oh my god that's his lucky red hat! He's a box! My boy's a box! [cries out to heavens] Damn you, a box!!
