When Flanders Failed/Quotes
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
- Akira: We practice karate, so that we never need use it.
- Bart: Excuse me. I already know how not to hit a man. Can I practice with nunchucks?
- Man: Hey, I hear you validate parking tickets without purchase.
- Ned: Oh, right as rain! Or, as we say around here, `left as rain', heh heh.
- Man: Just stamp the ticket.
- Ned: Oh, okay.
- Ned: At times like these, I used to turn to the Bible and find solace, but even the Good Book can't help me now.
- Homer: Why not?
- Ned: I sold it to you for seven cents.
- Homer: Oh.
- Homer: Ned, I am sorry your store did not work out.
- Ned: No Homer, you were right!
- Homer: I was?
- Ned: Yes! You tried to warn me against engaging in risky ventures! I should have known better than to gamble my family's future on some pig in a poke! You were an honest friend to me, and I appreciate that.
- Ned's words come down hard on Homer, who until now has been envious of Flanders' success. Seeing a bankrupt Flanders family has not given Homer satisfaction, but plenty of guilt.
- Homer{resolved tone}: Ned, how much longer do you have the store?
- Ned: Three days. After that it becomes headquarters for the Libertarian Party of Springfield. And I really hope they have better luck than I do.
- Homer: You open up that store at 9 in the morning, I will do the rest!
- Homer is on the phone.
- Homer: Hello Jerry? This is Homer Simpson. Remember last month when I paid back that loan? Yeah, well now I need you to do a favor for me!
