Be-bop-a-Lisa/Quotes


 * Lisa: As usal, Bart has giving me a tough act to follow. Welll, you gotta pay your dues if you wanna play the blues.
 * Mr. Largo: Blues?! I think not, young lady, as talent coordinator for this show, I'm putting a lid on your insolent be-bop music. Our talent restraint board has approved these pieces for your performance. You may choose freely between the two, of course.
 * Lisa: But Mr. Largo, this music dosen't express my feelings!
 * Mr. Largo: What on earth do feeling have to do with music? Just go out here and play.


 * Milhouse: Hey; Bart. Noiseland is premeiering the new Itchy & Scratcyy game. It's called Mortal Bombcart!
 * Richard: Why is your sister carrying a machine gun?
 * Bart: he's just weird c'mon.
 * Lisa: Machine gun -- what a bunch of jerks! This saxophone may as well be a weapon though, for all the pain it's caused me. Well, I've had my fill, thank you very much If I can't play it my way, then I will paly no more, forever! I hipe Mr. Kranz at King Toots Music Store can use a good previously-owned saxopone.


 * Kent Brockman: The call it Spazz music, and it has taken music credits and fans alike by storm. Even The Jazz Hole, Springfield's oldest cultural establishment, is getting with the program. And this is the man to thank, one Mr. Otto Mane of Otto and the Screaming Whiners. It is he alone who is responsible for the hit song 'Smells like Futility, which launched spazzmania. Otto and his band may be seen performing the mosnter hit at the Springfield Colliseum tomorrow night, as they kick off their big tri-county futility tour.
 * Lisa: First my playing was met with censorship and humilation. Now it's respnsible for a mega-hit record, and nobody will belive me. I think it's time I had words with a certain former bus driver.


 * Bleeding Gums Murphy: What's happenin', little sister?
 * Lisa: [GASP!] It's my musical mentor, Bleeding Gumps Murphy! You've come all the way to Capital City just to tell me how proud you are, right?
 * Bleeding Gums Murphy: Um... not exactly. Y'see, I'm here to tell you how disappointed I am in you. Your music used to have so much soul, but now it seems to me that you jus' sold out! Sure, you got fame and money, but what good is all that if you ain't true to your artistic vision?
 * Lisa: Wow, you're right. It's all so clear now. Otto's music was never right for me. I've just been using this opportunity to gain the accertance I've always desired. Otto, I know this is last minute, but to salvage my self-respect, I'm going to have to quit th e band.
 * Otto: That's bogus! What'll we do without a horn player?
 * Bleeding Gums Murphy: I'd be hapyp to sit in with ya.
 * Lisa: Hey! What about the speech you just gave me? What about artistic vision?
 * Bleeding Gums Murphy: Artistic vision is a groove if you can afford it. Me, I got bills to play. C'mon, Otto -- let's rock!
 * Otto: Later, li'l mama!


 * Lisa: Otto! What are you doing driving the bus again?
 * Otto: We talked to those record company dudes after the show. They told us spazz is out. The new thinkg is this fusion of rap and mambo. It's called "rambo." We tried to get into it, bu those ammo belts kept getting caught on my whammy bar!
 * Lisa: Well, it was great while it lasted.
 * Otto: You can still blow a mean sax, little lady.
 * Bart: Hey, Otto Man. Let's get this head o'junk movin'!
 * Otto: Right youre are, Bart dude! Let's rock & roll!
