Gotta start at least one more of these.

What are your favorite lines from The Simpsons, not said by a Simpson?

Chief Wiggum:

“Book em on one count of being a bear and one count of accessory to being a bear”

“What do you kids find so inviting about my mysterious closet of secrets?”

Gotta correct you here (sorry): “What is your fascination with Daddy’s forbidden closet of mystery???”

Now, I’m sure someone will be along shortly to correct _me_. . .

I knew it wasn’t exact, but it was too good to pass up.

Mr Burns: I have a lot in common with Oscar Schindler. We both made shells for the nazis, but mine worked damn it!

professor frink’s scene at loch ness was a classic, but I know too little of the details and therefore would ruin it. Anyone else with a better memory or a more recent viewing of that episode??

At Itchy & Scratchy Land:

Frink: You’ve got to listen to me. Elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving.  
Scientist: How much time do we have professor?  
Frink: Well according to my calculations, the robots won’t go berserk for at least 24 hours. (The robots go berserk.) Oh, I forgot to er, carry the one.

I like that random grumpy guy that’s seen in a few episodes. His best line was at the Springfield Swap Meet:

Marge: Your son or daughter will think this wishbone necklace is really cool!  
Man: I doubt my son or daughter is that stupid.

Apu: Shiva H. Vishnu!

Milhouse: Remember the time he [Santa’s Little Helper] ate my goldfish, and you lied to me and told me I never had any goldfish? But why’d I have the bowl, Bart? _Why’d I have the bowl?_

Milhouse-like character who’s just lost the girl in _Tango de la Muerte_: Caramba! Once again I will have to sugar my own churro.

“Little” Vicki, former child star: I’m sorry, Lisa, but giving everyone an equal part when they’re clearly not equal is called what, again, class?  
Class: Communism!  
Vicki: That’s right. And I didn’t tap all those Morse code messages to the Allies 'til my shoes filled with blood to just roll out the welcome mat for the Reds.

This argument has proven useful in a few of **chumpsky’s** threads.  
My all-time personal favourite:

Lisa: Change what [the talking Malibu Stacy doll] says. It’s your company.  
Stacy Lavelle, creator of Malibu Stacy: Not since I was forced out in 1974. They said my way of thinking just wasn’t cost effective.  
Lisa: [gasps] That’s awful.  
Stacy: Well, that, and…I was funneling profits to the Viet Cong.
