- Than win Father of the Year.
- I'm happy with things the way they are.
- Lisa:
- I'm getting used to never getting noticed.
- Bart:
- I'm stuck here till I can steal a car.
- Marge:
- The house is still a mess
- And I'm going bald from stress.
- Marge, Bart and Lisa:
- But we're happy just the way we are.
- Flanders:
- They're not perfect,
- But the Lord says, "Love thy neighbor."
- Homer:
- Shut up, Flanders!
- Flanders:
- Okely-dokely-doo.
- Shary Bobbins:
- Don't think it's sour grapes,
- But you're all a bunch of apes,
- And so I must be leaving you!
