Dirty Laundry/Quotes


 * Marge: What?! The neighborhood rules association says we have to take down the clothesline because it's an eyesore! Well, I never.
 * Lisa: That's just dumb. Nobody can see it except for the Flanders and they don't seem to mind. When is the next general meeting of the association?
 * Marge: Thursday night.
 * Lisa: Good. I'll put together a presentation that proves our clothesline is not an eyesore.
 * Bart: You'd better leave Homer's underpants of it then.
 * Marge: That's probably a good idea...
 * Lisa: Ok. Although I bet even those could be changed into a work of art.


 * Bart: I'll never understand why you study stuff that has nothing to do with school.
 * Lisa: I'm looking for images of laundry in fine art books to prove that hanging clothes to dry is not an eyesore. Check this out. You might like it.
 * Bart: Whoa! This can't be art. It's too cool.


 * Lisa: Many people associate clothes drying in the breeze with low-income families who can't afford machines. But people have dried their clothes in nature for millennia. Energy-drainging dryers have only been around since the 1950s. Consider the artist Christo's famous "gates" that turned Central Park into an amazing walk-though painting. Sheets on clotheslines produce a smilar visual effect.
 * Mr. Norman: Yeah, yeah art, schmart the're no way you can call this art!
 * Marge: But that's my... my... underthing!


 * Lisa: Bart, that was brilliant. You saved the day!
 * Bart: Pas de quoi.


 * Marge: Thank you children. This reminds me of hoe everyone used to dry clothes.
 * Lisa: It looks kind of nice, doesn't it?
 * Bart: What... Homer's underpants? Bwa-ha-ha!
