  • Bart Simpson: With you, every day is Guy Fawkes Day!
  • Montgomery Burns: Bah, humbug.
  • Shary Bobbins: Oh, Mr. Burns, I think you'll find all life's problems just float away when you're flying a kite.

  • Marge Simpson: That's Carl.
  • Homer Simpson: Oh, yeah.
  • [to Shary]
  • Homer Simpson: So, you worked for Carl, eh?
  • Bart Simpson: I have a question. Pop quiz, hotshot. I'm supposed to be doing my homework, but you find me upstairs reading a "Playdude". What do you do? What do you do?
