Cletus: Shoulda' but didna', so hands 'em over.

[Marge is watching a video instructing her on how to set up her business.]
Frank Ormand: Blanket your community with flyers. A phony ticker-tape parade will help you avoid litter laws.
[Cut to Homer driving Lisa through the street in an astronaut helmet.]
Chief Wiggum: [Teary-eyed] Welcome back, Space Girl!

Marge: Homer! Did you tell the mafia they could eliminate my competitors with savage beatings and attempted murder?
Homer: [swallowing beer] In those words? Yes.

Homer: I saw you pouring your heart and soul into this business and getting nowhere. I saw you desperately trying to cram one more salty treat into America's already bloated snack hole. So I did what I could. I did what any loving husband would do! I reached out to some violent mobsters.

[Maude, Helen, Agnes and Mrs. Krabappel stop and say hello to Marge.]
Marge: Helen.
Helen: Marge.
Marge: Edna.
Mrs. Krabappel: Marge.
Marge: [to Agnes] Ummm--
Agnes: Agnes, my name is Agnes and you know it's Agnes! It means "lamb," "lamb of God."

Hostess: Let's hear it for the newest members of the Fleet-A-Pita franchise! [Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude" plays, as the members walk through a Fleet-A-Pita paper wall] Maude! Helen! Agnes! Luann! Edna! Bart!
Bart: Whoo! We're number one! We're number one! [a guard grabs him by his collar and drags him along] Hey, what's going on? [protests] Wait, wait, hey...

Frank Ormand: [on the "Pretzel Wagon" videocassette] Hello. I'm Frank Ormand, and if you're watching me, that means you've got pretzel fever and not the kind that attacked my intestinal lining some years back. [laughs] So let's get your franchise up and running.

Marge: [reading the poster with the cat on it] "Hang in there, baby!" You said it, kitty. [looks more closely] "Copyright 1968." Hmm, determined or not, that cat must be long dead. That's kind of a downer.

[Homer goes to Frank Ormand's house and a woman in black answers the door.]
Homer: I'm here to see Mr. Ormand.
Woman: Of course. Right this way.
[In the living room is Ormand's funeral being held.]
Homer: Oh, I guess I should speak to the executor of his estate.
Woman: [whispering] He's right over there. [points to another coffin] They were in the same car.

[When Marge delivers pretzels to Springfield Elementary School.]
Marge: [to Principal Skinner] Are you sure the children will get enough nutrition from these pretzels?
Principal Skinner: [in a robotic tone] Yes, I am sure. Sure as sure can be. [uses his injured right hand to give Marge her money]
Marge: Oh my god. What happened to your fingers?
Thug: [from inside the room] Boating accident...
Principal Skinner: I believe it was a boaking accident. [from behind, a targeting beam aims for his head] I have to go now.

[Marge's car is knocked off the road by Fat Tony's limo.]
Marge: Hey! Wh-what's going on?!
[Fat Tony walks to the car, and tries to take the keys—but they won't come off]
Fat Tony: Is, uh, there a button or a release for these keys?
Marge: Oh. Oh, you have to push in as you turn.
Fat Tony: Ah. [does so]
Marge: Yeah, that's it.

[Grampa arrives to the Simpsons' house in his underwear.]
Grampa: I had that dream again.
Homer: Oh, thank God, it's only Grampa. [slams door]

Edna: Well, well, if it isn't Marge Simpson and her gangland cronies.
Maude: Your goon squads certainly gave you the edge in the mobile snack business. But I'm afraid we've outdone you once again. Hiroshi, Yukio... [steps aside to reveal a group of armed Japanese mobsters] Perhaps you've heard of the Yakuza: the Poison Fists of the Pacific Rim, the Japanese mafia.
Agnes: They'll kill ya five times before you hit the ground!

Lisa: [yawning] What's going on outside?
Marge: Oh it's just a mob war. Go back to sleep, honey.
[The little Japanese mobster is tossed through the kitchen window.]
Little Japanese Mobster: [wipes glass from his suit and bows] Forgive-a-ness, please! [runs out the backdoor to return to the fight]
