Episode Notes
Chalkboard: None

Couch: A pair of animated hands deals a wild royal flush on the couch: the jack of diamonds (Bart), the queen of diamonds (Marge), the king of diamonds (Homer), the ace of diamonds (Lisa), and a joker (Maggie).

While Homer plays with the switches at his workplace a Meltdown sign is flashing in the background.

The Lamborgotti company label says: For people who really have nothing inside

After the cheese transporter lost its cargo Lisa names the products Mozarella, Parmigiano, Provolone, Pecorino, Gorgonzola, Fontina, Taleggio, and Mortadella.

The inmate number on Sideshow Bob's Springfield Prison jumpsuit is the production number of this episode HABF02.



Episode Quotes
Homer: A Lamborgotti Fasterossa?! That's the car I think about when I make love to my wife.

Sideshow Bob: My tale begins after I once again attempted to murder Bart.
Homer: Ok, so far I'm votin' for ya.

Sideshow Bob: This is my bride, Francesca, and my son, Gino.
Homer: Holy moley. I always thought you were, you know, out loud and proud.
Sideshow Bob: Well, I experimented in college as one does.

Burns: Duh! I won't forget who mocked me. I'm taking your picture. (he pulls an antiquated camera out of his trunk) Now, hold perfectly still for 78 minutes.

Bart: What's with the canadian flag on your back pack?
Lisa: Well. Some people in europe have the impression that america has made some stupid choices in the past thou five years so for the next week I'm from Canada.

(The camera shows the tower of Pisa)
Homer: Wow, I've seen photos of this, but you can't really experience it until you're here! (the camera pans to the Simpsons who are sitting at a table) A McDonalds where you can get booze.

Homer: Let me check the navigation system. Says here we should turn left at a fat chicken in a tutu beeing fed by a midget.
Lisa: That's a DVD of a Fellini movie.

Old italien woman: Americano?
Homer: Americano? What the hell could that mean? Why can't you people learn to speak my language? I learned to eat your food!

Sideshow Bob: Simpsons, I beg of you. Please don't destroy the life I've created here. Surely even the most hanous criminal deserves a seventh chance.
