Episode Quotes
 
Mother Simpson: Abe?
Grampa: What the … Now here's a piece of bad news.
Mother Simpson: Oh, Abe, you've aged terribly!
Grampa: What do you expect? You left me to raise the boy on my own!
Mother Simpson: I had to leave! But you didn't have to tell Homer I was dead!
Grampa: It was either that, or tell him his mother was a wanted criminal! You were a rotten wife, and I'll never, ever forgive you! (pause) Can we have sex? Please?
Mother Simpson: (disgusted) Oh, Abe.
Grampa: Well, I tried! What's for supper?
 
Mother Simpson: We made it, Homer!
Homer: It's all thanks to our anonymous tipster. (on phone) But who are you? And why did you tip us off?
Chief Wiggum: (on phone) Well, it's cause of your old lady that I got rid of my asthma that was keeping me out of the academy.
Homer: Thanks.
Chief Wiggum: Sure. Just think of me as an anonymous friend who rose through the ranks of the Springfield police to become Chief Clancy Wig--
Homer: (hangs up) Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak!
 
Mother Simpson: (singing) How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Homer: Seven!
Lisa: No, Dad, it's a rhetorical question.
Homer: Rhetorical, eh?..... Eight!
Lisa: Dad, do you even know what rhetorical means?
Homer: Do I know what rhetorical means?!
