The Simpsons: Homer's Enemy

A new employee named Frank Grimes comes to work at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Grimes has a huge chip on his shoulder after a life of bad luck and hard work. When he meets Homer, he is incensed that someone can live so well without doing anything at all and sets out to prove that a boob like Homer should not be praised for his idiocy. Meanwhile, Bart wins an abandoned factory at an auction and uses it as his own personal playground.

Episode Quotes
Mr. Burns: Could you explain your model, young man?
Grimes: What's to explain? He's an idiot!
Lenny: Pipe down!
Homer: Well basically, I just copied the plant we have now.
Mr. Burns: Hmmm.
Homer: Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.
Mr. Burns: Agreed. First prize.

Grimes: Simpson, you've got a 513.
(Homer looks at his watch)
Grimes: No, a 513. In your procedures manual - a 513?
(Homer looks at his watch again)
Grimes: Look at your control panel.
Homer: Oh, a five THIR-teen. I'll handle it. (He calmly takes out a bucket of water and pours it on the console. Causing it to short out and silences the alarms) That got it.
(Grimes looks on in horror)

(Grimes goes crazy after Homer wins the power plant design contest meant for children)
Grimes: Oh, I, I can't stand it any longer. This whole plant is insane. Insane, I tell you! Daahh! Aaah!
(runs out of the auditorium, and into an equipment room)
Grimes: I can be lazy too! (takes his tie off, moons one of the technicians) Look at me, I am a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion!
(Runs into the break room, grabs two donuts from the box and gobbles them down as if imitating Homer's eating habits)
Grimes: Ooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds!
(Grimes then runs to the bathroom to pretend to relieve himself)
Grimes: (yelling from inside) I'm peeing on the seat! Give me a raise!
(comes out and waves his hands in Homer's face; Homer looks puzzled)
Grimes: Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands. But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson!
(Sits in Homer's chair at his work station and spins around like an idiot)
Grimes: I don't need to do my work, 'cause someone else will do it for me. 'D'oh!' 'D'oh!' 'D'oh!' (slaps forehead on each D'oh!)
Homer: (concerned) Hey, you okay, Grimey?
Grimes: I'm better than okay. I'm Homer Simpson!
Homer: (chuckles) You wish.
(Burns walks into the room to see what the commotion is all about)
Grimes: Oh, hi, Mr. Burns. I'm the worst worker in the world. Time to go home to my mansion and eat my lobster.
(Grimes runs up to electrical wires and examines a sign)
Grimes: What's this? (reads sign) 'Extremely High Voltage.' Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simp...
(Grimes grabs the wires and suffers a fatal electrocution. Zap! The end of Homer's Enemy)
