“Mrs. Simpson. I, I cannot go there. That is the scene of my spiritual depantsing.”

“Oh, the searing kiss of hot lead, how I’ve missed you!”

“Oooh, they used nylon rope this time. It feels so smooth against my skin… almost sensuous.”

“You can emerge now from my chips. The opportunity to prove yourself a hero is long gone.”

“Oh, Mister Simpson, you are looking very prosperous today. Might I interest you in some of our impulse items here by the cash register? Perhaps a crazy motorized Wiggle Pen?” (Turns on pen) “Look at… the craziness… !”

Apu: “Snap on your bulletproof vest, Sanjay, it’s time for another bank run.”  
Sanjay: “All right. But if I don’t make it, promise you won’t sleep with my wife.”  
Apu: “I promise nothing.”
