Homer: Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the "G"s! oh, and Marge: I don’t want to be Chesty La Rue, or Busty St. Claire! Homer: Fine, Hootie McBoob it is. ---

Do you, Marge, take Homer to be your husband In sickness and in health In richness and in poorness - poorness is underlined - In quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a jet-powered, monkey navigated… It goes on like this! ---

Homer: “Marge, you being a cop makes you the man of the house. And you being the man of the house makes me the woman of the house. And I have no interest in being the woman of the house…except for occasionally wearing your underwear which, AS WE’VE DISCUSSED, is strictly a comfort thing.” Marge: “Well, Lisa, I know plenty of women who say that you can ever change a man…but I say those women are QUITTERS! Why, just look at your father! He wasn’t much when I first met him, but after ten years of marriage, he’s much better.” Lisa: “Uh, mom?” Marge: “HE’S! MUCH! BETTER!!” Mr. Burns: “This slackjawed family of troglodytes ruins my chances of being elected governor, yet if I were to have them assassinated, I"D be the one to go to jail! That’s democracy for you, Smithers!” Sailor Guy (on the phone): “Arrrhhh, I have customers and must go. Call me later, Ishmael.” ---

> [@Kivick](#): > > Homer shoots Marge with the makeup gun > Marge: You had it set for whore!\* > > - I laughed for hours at this episode! That whole invention thing is great. According to the DVD commentary for that episode, that entire scene got more laughs in animatics (rough animation) than any other scene in the show’s history. “Women aren’t going to be liked being shot in the face.” “Women will like what I tell them to like.” ---
