After Homer gets into trouble over his football gambling debts, he allows the Springfield Mafia to shoot a "snuggle film" in the house without Marge's permission. When she and the kids return home from a trip to "Santa's Village" and find production still going on, a furious Marge leaves for the beach--and encounters a marine biologist named Caleb Thorn who has dedicated his life to saving manatees.

Lisa: Dad, how much money did you bet?
Homer: Hey, I didn't bet any of our money. I just borrowed some of him.
(He points to Fat Tony who is standing outside of a window.)
Fat Tony: Don't worry, we can hammer out a payment plan.
 
Marge: Why would we want to go to Santa's village? It's August.
Bart: I wanna see Santa. He can explain why he gave me a Play Station box with nothing inside, but a coloring book.
Homer: It got your hopes up didn't it?
 
Lisa: Those reindeer look really uncomfortable.
Elf: (Shouting angry) That's because they don't thrive in this environment!
 
Lenny: I've always dreamed of working in an adult film. I'll run the sound board.
Carl: And I'll performing the sex scenes.
 
Bart: When they put Santa in the ambulance, why they pull a blanket all over his head?
 
Homer: Who's gonna watch the kids?
Marge: You are!
Homer: Me? But I'm the father.
 
Bart: Dad, I promise I'll be good. Can I get out of the dog carrier?
Homer: It was hard enough, getting you in there. I'm not letting you out.
 
Homer: Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
