Homer: Do you two have to sit so close to the TV? Back up, or it'll hurt your eyes.
Bart: It will not.
Homer: [makes a fist] Yes, it will.

Bart: Hey, what gives?
Lisa: Dad! Do something!
Homer: Alright, alright. Time for Dr. TV to perform a little surgery! [bangs on the TV and the picture gets worse]
Bart: Looks like you lost the patient, Doc.

Homer: [fiddles with the back of the television set] Is that better?
Bart and Lisa: NO!!!
Homer: How's this? [the picture on the television gets worse]
Bart and Lisa: [screams]
Homer: Okay, everybody remain calm. [gives the TV a big whack; the picture disappears]

Homer: Hey yeah... yeah! I think I can!
Marge: I think this is sick... they're staring at a dot!
Homer: She's right! She's right! Oh I miss TV, dear God! Just give me one channel.

Bart: I'm livin' it, but I ain't lovin' it.

Barney: Hey, Homer, you're late for English!
Homer: Pffft, English. Who needs that. I'm never going to England.

Barney: [school bell rings] Oh no, we're late for wood shop!
Homer: But... we're early for lunch! Let's go grab a burger.
Barney: Boy, you never stop eating and you never gain a pound.
Homer: It's my metabomolism. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.

Marge: The first step to liberation is to free ourselves from these male-imposed shackles! [lights a bra; it burns up]
Kim: I didn't think it would burn so fast.
Marge: Mm, I guess it's the tissue paper inside.

Barney: Hey, Estelle? Will you go to the prom with me?
Estelle: I wouldn't go to the prom with you if you were Elliot Gould!
Barney: Oh, shot down again.

Homer: So, uh, what are you in for?
Marge: I'm a political prisoner. Last time I ever take a stand...
Homer: Well, I'm here for being me. Every day, I show up, act like me, and they slap me in here.
Teacher: Simpson, be quiet!
Homer: I haven't seen you in school before.
Teacher: Okay, Simpson,
Homer: What?
Teacher: You just bought yourself another day of detention.
Homer: Maybe we should get together sometime.
Teacher: Two days!
Marge: I'm sorry, I don't even know your name.
Homer: I'm Homer
Teacher: Three days!
Homer: J.
Teacher: Four days!
Homer: Simpson.
Teacher: Five days!
Homer: It was worth it!
Teacher: Six days! Okay, Simpson, to the back of the room!

Homer: Hi, I'm Homer Simpson, I need some guidance, Counselor.

Mr. McIntyre: Do you have any plans for after graduation?
Homer: Me? I'm gonna drink a lot of beer and stay out all night.

Homer: My name's Homer Simpson, I'd like to sign up for something.
Mrs. Bloomenstein: Well, we have an opening on the debate team.
Homer: Debate, like, arguing?
Mrs. Bloomenstein: Yes.
Homer: I'll take THAT, you DINGPOT! Just warming up, Mrs. Blumenstein.
Mrs. Bloomenstein: This year's topic is "Resolved: The national speed limit should be lowered to 55 miles per hour."
Homer: 55? That's ridiculous! Sure, it'll save a few lives, but millions will be late!

Mrs. Bloomenstein: Homer, would you like to present your rebuttal?
Homer: With pleasure. (Everyone gasps as Homer moons the class.)

[Principal Dondelinger catches Homer and Barney smoking in the bathroom.]
Principal Dondelinger: Well, well, well. If it isn't Homer Simpson and Barney Gumble, Springfield's answer to "Cheech and Chong." Allow me, gentlemen. [grabs their cigarettes and tosses them in the toilet.] You just bought yourselves three days of detention. You know where and when.
Homer and Barney: 3:00, old building, room 106.

Barney: Wanna go to the prom with me?
Kim: Good God! No!
Barney: Well put.

Bart: Great story. [bangs TV] Positively spellbinding. [bangs TV] Work, damn you.
Homer: Bart! Pay attention, you may be telling this to your own son if something breaks.

Marge: Maybe I'll wear my hair ... up.

Bart: Get off the edge of your seat. They got married, had kids, and bought a cheap TV, okay?

Mrs. Bouvier: If you pinch your cheeks, they'll glow. A little more, try to break some capillaries, dear.
Marge: Couldn't we use just rouge for this?
Mrs. Bouvier: Ladies pinch. Whores use rouge.

Selma: [when Homer arrives to pick up Marge] Marge's dates get homelier all the time.
Patty: That's what you get when you don't put out.

Artie: Hello, classmates. Instead of voting for some athletic hero or a pretty boy, you have elected me, your intellectual superior, as your king. Good for you.

Limo Driver: Well, where to now, Romeo?
Homer: Inspiration Point.
Limo Driver: Okay, but I'm only paid to drive.

Artie: Marge, I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anybody about my busy hands, not so much for myself, but I am so respected, it would damage the town to hear it.

Marge: When I got home, I realized who I should have gone to the prom with.
Homer: Who? [realizes] Oh.
Marge: My prom date.
Homer: Marge, pour vous.
Marge: Why so glum?
Homer: I've got a problem. Once you stop this car, I'm gonna hug you, and kiss you, and then I'll never be able to let you go! :[Fades back to the present) And I never have... [Lisa smiles, Bart makes gagging noises]
