Homer - Confused This town is filthy! We built all these dumpsters and garbage cans, but no way to empty them.
Apu I used to lure in customer with the smell of hot dogs.
Apu - Sad But the stench of week-old decaying meat... it just can't compete with the smell of all this trash.
Cletus I used to be able to find my house on account of all the trash piled up in front of it. But now that's every house.
Cletus - Sad I got no idea which one is mine. I've been wandering around on the streets for weeks.
Homer - Sad We all have, Cletus.
Lisa We need to build the town dump.

Quimby According to the government roster that's, er-ah, you.
Homer - Confused Me?
Quimby Yes, you're the town's Sanitation Commissioner.

Homer Twice now apparently!
Lyle Lanley Well maybe I can convince you to buy another, with an elaborate song and dance!
Homer - WooHoo Woo-hoo!

Homer - Angry If I have to pick up one more rivet-
Lisa Wait, did you say rivet? Those were on the list of supplies we needed to build the monorail.
Lisa I bet if we collected enough junk around town, we could get all the supplies we needed for the monorail.
Homer So you're saying that picking up trash is now important to the story?

Professor Frink Ahem-glaven... as the closest thing this town has to an engineer, I would be happy to--
Sebastian Cobb Did someone call for an engineer?
Professor Frink - Angry What? No! I'm the egghead around here. What kind of engineer even are you anyway?
Sebastian Cobb A monorail construction engineer.
Professor Frink - Sad *sigh* Hoyvin.
Sebastian Cobb I can get your monorail operational. But first I'm going to need more finely-honed monorail parts.
