"Well, at least it's better than the episode with oven."
"You can't do anything right, can you?"
"I cannot tell a lie. I did it."
"You need to remove your kevlar helmet."
"Really, darling, I'm just cleaning it."
"How many times have I asked you not to try to kill yourself inside the house?"

"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow my head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?"

"Oh Chester, this is how those affairs started too!"

"Marge, it's just like the New Yorker cartoon contest."
