Homer: This is the greatest thing in the world! Name one thing mankind’s ever done that was better. Lisa: The Renaissance. Homer: _This_ is better. My question is :what was Homer talking about? I can remember the quote as clear as anything, but I can’t for the life of me think what he was referring to. Feel free to nitpick the wording of the quote too. ---

It’s actually said to Bart and Marge. Homer (after missing a huge number of hints) learns that Marge has dropped him from their doubles team because he sucks and Bart is taking his place. Bart: We were good, Dad. They asked us to play in the Krusty Klassic. Marge: It’s for charity. It benefits victims of Balcony Collapse. Bart: We can wipe out BC in our lifetime! Homer: I don’t care about BC. I care about ME- My Enjoyment! And he runs away weeping. ---

I got one that’s been bugging me for awhile. It’s a scene where Milhouse is intoxicated for some reason, and he says “You don’t know me!!” Could someone tell me what episode that’s from, and what the scene is about? ---

I can’t remember exactly… but at a fair or something Bart and Milhouse ride one of those 3-D spinner thingys. It’s billed as “What it feels like to be drunk” or something like that. Bart puts his arm around Milhouse, “I love this guy, this guy, he’s the guy.” Then Milhouse says his line… I think ---

Marge: C’mon, Homer, Japan will be fun. You like Rashomon. Homer: That’s not how I remember it. Besides, if we wanted to see Japanese people we could have gone to the zoo! Marge: Homer! Homer: What? The guy who washes the elephants is Japanese. His name is Takashi! He’s in my book club!
