Episode Quotes
Bart: A stamp museum?
Homer: (does a long Ohh!) Stamps? Those are for snail mail. (He shouts to the construction workers) Stamps rule! I mean suck.

Lenny: All right Homer! You beat those stamp nazis with good old fashion American complainin'.
Carl: Homer, if it weren't for you, we'd be at the mercy of weekend philatelists.
Lenny: You know, why didn't you just say stamp collectors?
Carl: 'Cause I'm tired of dumbing myself down for you.

Homer: I can't believe it took us 40 minutes to get here. Why can't they build a stamp museum closer to our house?
Lisa: Dad, you fought tooth and nail to get it away from our house.
Homer: Lisa, when you sustained as many blows to the head as I have, consistency is something, something that something I love you, Bart.

Marge: What a lousy party! I don't care what Apu was in a past life, in this life, he's a blabbermouth!

Lisa: I can't keep sleeping in mom and dad's room.
Bart: Yeah, if dad rolls over, you're dead.
Lisa: Mom showed me how to make a retaining wall out of pillows, but I'm gonna conquer my fears. Tonight!
