Chalkboard: I will not scare the Vice President

Couch: A repeat of the couch gag from "Along Again, Natura-Diddly" where The Simpsons are in bumper cars.

Scientist 1: My God, she's stopped in her tracks.
Scientist 2: The little girl's invented some sort of bully repellant.
Lisa: Actually, it's just ordinary salad dressing. (the crowd gasps)
Marge: So that's where that went.
Lisa: The pungent vinegar and tangy Roquefort block the smell receptors, rendering the bully harmless. (the crowd applauds)
Frink: Congratulations, Lisa. You are truly the standout at this year's science thing.

Homer: Now do you realize how unsafe the American home is? Baby accidents occur every three minutes.
Marge: I'm the one who told you that.
Homer: Yeah, but this is me talking. Look, I already encased the telephone in concrete. (the phone, is encased in a concrete cube)
Marge: How are you supposed to dial?
Homer: Reach into these holes. I use a carrot.

Saleswoman: Your baby is dead!
Homer and Marge: Oh, no!
Saleswoman: That's what you'd hear if your baby fell victim to the thousands of deathtraps lurking in the average american home.
Homer: You really scared us there.
Saleswoman: I'm sorry, but the truth is, your baby, Maggie Simpson, is dead.
(Homer and Marge gasp again.)
Saleswoman: Dead tired of baby insurance agents not giving you a free estimate.

Homer: Baby could order poison.
Marge: That's ridiculous.
Telephone: Poison delivery service. A gift-basket of free poisons is on its way.
Marge: Oh, I'm horrible mother.
Homer: Of course you are. Marge, I've finally discovered the reason God made me. To protect his tiniest, most breakable creatures. And I've got to share that gift with the world.
(Maggie shoots some nails which strike Homer)
Homer: (to Marge) Get her out of here!

In this episode, there is a flashback of Homer (as a preteen) beating up Smithers (also a preteen) in grade school. In the season 13 episode, "The Blunder Years", Smithers was seen as a baby around the time that Homer was a preteen.

This episode's title is an adaptation of “Bye Bye Birdie”, the 1960 Broadway musical later adapted into a 1963 film.
