Chalkboard: I will never lie about being cancelled again

Couch: Repeat of the couch gag from "Half-Decent Proposal" where two repo men take the couch away and Homer cries over it.

Marge: Manjula, come quick! The octuplets learned their first word!
Octuplet #1: Mommy,
Octuplet #2: will
Octuplet #3: you
Octuplet #4: let
Octuplet #5: daddy
Octuplet #6: come
Octuplet #7: back…
Octuplet #8: cookie!
Marge: They miss their father. Are you sure you don't want Apu back?
Manjula: Well, I do, but I don't want to be treated like a doormat. I need payback!
Marge: All right! Girls night out! Exotic male dancers at the Golden Banana!
Manjula: Hmmm… No, I want HIM to suffer.
Marge: Well, when Homer does something wrong, I make a list of ways he can make it up to me. Then I shred the list and put it in his food.
Manjula: Fine. We will make a list.
Marge: At the Golden Banana?
Manjula: No!
(Marge groans)

(Manjula and Apu are playing Marge and Homer in badminton.)
Manjula: Apu, you keep scoring behind my back!
(Homer and Marge make nervous noises)
Manjula: Are you sure you're not cheating?
(Homer and Marge make nervous noises)
Marge: Uh... what's the score?
Homer: Dirty love... I mean thirty-love... uh, um... anyone for penis? D'oh... I'll just get the shuttlecock... D'oh!

Manjula: I took the tape out of the store surveillance camera. Look.
(Apu watches the tape)
Squishee Girl: Oh Apu! Scratch and Win!
Apu: Mmmm, that's good adultery!
(After watching the tape)
Apu: Oh, I am so sorry.
Manjula: Get out of my house.

Homer: Let’s tell Krusty.
Marge: What would that accomplish?
Homer: That guy's hilarious. His reaction would be priceless.
Homer: Apu is cheating!
Krusty: That's sad. All those kids.
Homer: I think he's building to something.
