Episode Notes
 
Chalkboard: I will not file frivolous lawsuits
 
Couch: Similar to the couch gag in "Marge vs. the Monorail" (9F10), the living room is filled with supporting characters from the show (such as Jimbo Jones, Ned Flanders, Milhouse van Houten, etc). Unlike the couch gag from 9F10, the living room is now a movie theater and the Simpsons are shuffling their way through to find a seat (the couch). After they sit down, Homer eats some of the Comic Book Guy's popcorn.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
(Homer realizes that Thomas Edison has already invented safety legs for the back of a chair.)
Homer: (Shouting) Aww, damn it!
(Bart comes running down the basement stairs.)
Bart: Hey Dad, heard you swearin'. Mind if I join in? Crap, boobs, crap!
Homer: I thought I had a great idea, I must have seen it on this poster.
(Bart studies Homer's Thomas Edison invention chart.)
Bart: If Edison thought of that chair, how come it's not on this chart?
Homer: It's not? Maybe he never told anyone about it. (Points at Edison poster.) That chair might be the only one he made.
Bart: So?
Homer: So, we've got to go to the Edison Museum and smash it! Then I'll be an inventor!
Bart: But I thought you loved Edison.
Homer: Aw, to hell with him.
Bart: Yeah! Hell, damn, fart!
 
(Homer seeks some invention advice from Professor Frink.)
Homer: (Whining) Look, I just wanna know how to invent things. Tell me.
Professor Frink: Ehh, all you have to do is think of things that people need, but which don't exist yet.
Homer: You mean like an electric blanket mobile?
Professor Frink: Yeah, well, uh, possibly. Or you could take something that already exists and find a new use for it. Like--
Homer: Hamburger earmuffs!
Professor Frink: Uh, well, I suppose that would qualify.
Homer: Thanks! Sucker!
(Homer rushes away)
Professor Frink: (Gasps) Alright, just stay calm, Frinky. (Opens a refrigerator and pulls out some hamburger earmuffs.) These babies will be in the stores while he's still grappling with the pickle matrix. Hoyvin, glavin!
 
(Homer shows off one of his inventions.)
Homer: Now, here's my everything's okay alarm!
(Alarm beeps loudly)
Homer: (Shouting) This will sound--
(Alarm beeps loudly)
Homer: --every three seconds--
(Alarm beeps loudly)
Homer: --unless something isn't okay!
(Alarm beeps loudly)
Marge: (Shouting) Turn that off, Homer!
(Alarm beeps loudly)
Homer: (Shouting) It can't be turned off!
(Alarm beeps loudly, then weakly and dies.)
Homer: But it, uh, does break easily.
