- Mrs. Krabappel: Bart, what's the matter? I would think you'd be used to failing by now.

- Bart: [overjoyed] You mean I passed?
- Mrs. Krabappel: Just barely.
- Bart: I passed! I got a D minus! I passed!! All right! [Kisses Mrs. Krabappel and runs out of the school] I passed, I passed, I passed! I got a D minus! I passed! I got a D minus! I passed! I got a D minus! I passed, I passed, I... [Frowns suddenly] ...KISSED THE TEACHER?!!
