{{TB|If you're looking for donuts, forget about it. Burns is on another health kick: all we got is Kombucha and kale.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Nagging}}
{{TB|Isn't "sunsetting" just corporate doublespeak for "killing off?"}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon}}
{{TB|Makeup on the old mug ain't a bad idea. Maybe I'll do some re-Moe-deling. Youse corporate suits always got good ideas up your sleeves.}}

{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Furious}}
{{TB|What the EpiPen?! A business charging more for the same product?}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|Maybe I should glitz up the Quimby image. A little flash might help detract from all my 'er, many broken promises.}}

{{TB|If rap culture and the Catholic church have taught us anything, it's that nothing says "classy" like solid gold everything.}}

{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Moe, I normally look to you to get fried but now I need that “fried” to be donuts.}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon}}
