1. Would you please leave now?

Maitre D’ at upscale bar that Homer wanders into.

1. Ehhhh, too far.

Homer, contemplating what to wish for when breaking a wishbone, and realizing that Flanders in his grave is overreaching.

78) Be there and be square.

Costumed announcer (not a KBBL deejay) for Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con.  
80) Find a way!

Troy McClure, encouraging Dr. Nick Riviera to offer a better deal during his infomercial, lest the audience hurl more chairs at him.  
86) The Dead Sea Scrolls!

Rabbi Krustofsky, guessing the source of the “The Jews are a swinging bunch of people” quote.

Homer, after mistaking Burns’ attempted bribe for a come-on. Was that from the episode where the power plant workers went on strike?

Homer, from the Treehouse of Horror episode with “The Shinnin’”

I could be mistaken, but I think both of those are from the episode where the insanity peppers make Homer go on a vision quest. At the very least, the second one is definitely said by his coyote spirit guide.
