[spoken fast and in a chant] Lyle Lanley: Well, sir, there's nothing on earth Like a genuine, Bona fide, Electrified, Six-car Monorail! ... What'd I say? Ned Flanders: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: What's it called? Patty & Selma: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: That's right Monorail! [crowd chants 'Monorail' softly and rhythmically] Miss Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud... Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud. Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend? Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu Friend. Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs? Lyle Lanley: You'll all be given cushy jobs. Abe Simpson: Were you sent here by the devil? [just some foreshadowing by the writers, editor] Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level. Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can. Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man. I swear it's Springfield's only choice... Throw up your hands and raise your voice! [sung] All: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: What's it called? All: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: Once again... All: Monorail! [spoken] Marge: But Main Street's still all cracked and broken... Bart: Sorry Mom, the mob has spoken! [sung] All: Monorail (Repeat 4 times) Homer: Mono... D'oh!
