Episode Notes
Chalkboard: The Pledge of Allegiance does not end with Hail Satan

According to the DVD commentary, Mr. Burns was originally supposed to chase Homer away from his house with a robot who looks and acts like Richard Simmons (and ends up malfunctioning), but this scene was not popular with the writers or the test audience. It wasn't until David Silverman showed the deleted scene at animation conventions and college tours that it got a positive response from audiences. This rejected scene would later be used as part of the "Cut-Out Classics" reel on "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular").



Episode Quotes

Marge: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Homer: Yeah. Let's push him down the steps.

Mr. Burns: I suggest you leave immediately.
Homer: Or what? You'll release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

Lisa: I propose to you that your heir not need be a boy. In this phallocentric society of ours--
Mr. Burns: I don't know what phallocentric means, but no girls!
Milhouse: (dressed as a girl) So much for Plan B.
