- Lisa:
- No, you haven't!
- Seymour Skinner:
- We're gonna have to give this some thought.
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- Let's sing while we think. It'll make it more fun for everyone.
- Seymour Skinner:
- How do we gag a blabbermouth like Lisa?
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- How do we crush her First Amendment rights?
- Seymour Skinner:
- How do we stop her writing up what she saw?
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- Would she shut her trap?
- Seymour Skinner:
- For a gift card from the Gap?

- She might.

- Oh how do we stop a royal pain like Lisa?

- [sighs] Why do you have to make everything weird?
Motivate Them

- You'll be happy, they'll be happy, and I can go home and enjoy some delicious fondue.
- Seymour Skinner:
- Made with the... fondue set I bought you for Christmas?

Cultural Things Experience

- Books about Dali, Degas, and Miro,
- Those are the folks that you yokels should know.

- Pretentious laughs at Bunuel retrospectives,
- Outsider art made by mental defectives.
