Homer turns around and realizes Marge heard everything.  
“Now Marge, you’re going to hear a lot of craaaaaazy talk about Bart working in a burlesque house…”

Homer: Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the Police Academy, I thought it would be fun and exciting, you know, like the movie… Spaceballs. But instead, it’s been painful and disturbing, like the movie Police Academy

Burns: If only we’d listened to that boy, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven.

Burns: Oh yes, but the telephone is so impersonal. I prefer the hands-on touch you only get with hired goons.

And from the same episode (Last exit to springfield) as the last two quotes:

LENNY: So long Dental Plan!  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
Charlie drops a pencil into Homer’s butt crack.  
CARL:Bullseye!  
HOMER: Thanks a lot, Carl. Now I’ve lost my train of thought.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
LENNY’S VOICE: Dental Plan!  
MARGE: Lisa needs braces.  
HOMER: (finally realizing) If we give up our dental plan… I’ll have to pay for Lisa’s braces! (to everyone) People, stop! We can’t give up our Dental Plan! Lenny, without the dental plan, you wouldn’t have that diamond in your tooth.

Reminds me of that other funny quote:

STEALING! How could you? Why do you think I took you to see all those “Police Academy” movies, FOR FUN? I DIDN’T HEAR ANYONE LAUGHING, DID YOU? Except at that guy who made sound effects.  
[Tries to do a few]  
Now where was I? Oh, yeah: stay away from my booze.

Nuggets of wisdom by Homer Simpson:

If it doesn’t have siamese twins in a jar, it is not a fair.

Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you’re prejudiced against all races.

Vampires are make believe, just like elves and gremlins and eskimos!

If something is to hard to do, then it’s not worth doing. You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and we’ll go inside and watch TV.

Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn’t - it’s that girls should stick to girls’ sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.

The only guys who wear Hawaiian shirts are gay guys and big fat party animals.

Carnies built this country-- the carnival part of it, anyway.

If God didn’t want me to eat in church, he would’ve made gluttony a sin.

Sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad, and I’m tired of making other people feel good about themselves.

I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, “cover for me.” Number two, “oh, good idea, boss.” Number three, “it was like that when I got here.”

“Dr. Nick, the Coroner’s Office is on the phone for you.”  
“Again? Man, I’m so sick of that guy!”  
[leaving the office]
