Chalkboard: I am not authorized to fire substitute teachers

Homer: Hello, Police? Are you sitting down? Good! I wish to report a robbery.
Chief Wiggum: (bored) A robbery, right. Thanks for the report. (hangs up) That's another one, Lou… 723 Evergreen Terrace. (Looks at a map with the robbery locations marked on it) Well, there doesn't seem to be any pattern yet, but if I take this one and move it here…and I move these over here… hello! It almost looks like an arrow!
Lou: Hey, look, Chief: it's pointing right at this police station.
Chief Wiggum: Let's get out of here!

Ned: Since the police can't seem to get off their duff-a-roonies to do something about this burglar-ino, I propose we start out own neighborhood watch (pause) aroony! (everyone cheers) Now, who should lead the group?
Man: You!
Everyone: (cheering again) Flanders! Flanders! Flanders!
Ned: Well, I don't have much experience, but I'd be--
Moe: Someone else!
Ned: (more cheers) Someone else! Someone else! Someone else!
Homer: I'm someone else!
Lenny: He's right!
Homer: We don't need a thinker, we need a doer! Someone who'll act without considering the consequences!

Marge: I don't think the guns are a good idea!
Homer: Marge! We're responsible adults a--
(Gun shot)
Moe: Whoops!
Homer: And if a group of responsible adults can't handle firearms in a responsible way--
(Gun shot)
Captain McCallister: Sorry!
(gun shot)
Principal Skinner: Uh oh!
(Gun shot)
Moe: Me again...
(Gun shot)
Bart: Sorry.

Audio: When Marge asks Homer to tell Lisa what he bought when she sent him to town to buy insurance, Homer looks at a jar of beans and says: "Damn you magic beans!"

The magic beans were used in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, an ancient English fairy tale in which Jack was sent to town to sell the cow for money and was conned into trading for some magic beans.

Visual: Homer is seen flying an airplane, set to drop a bomb on a group of hippies. When the bomb doesn't release, Homer jumps on top of it 'til it finally frees itself and rides it like a bull, waving his white cowboy hat.


This scene is taken from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, in which Maj. T.J. 'King' Kong, played by Slim Pickens, rides the bomb in the same fashion.

At the end of the episode, the cat burglar reveals that the treasure is located under a "big T." The whole town searches for this clue, which is 2 palm trees.

This scene is from the motion picture It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, in which a dying man from a car accident tells the rescuers that there is a treasure buried under a "big W," which also is 4 palm trees.
