“Marge, Bring out the celebration ham!”
“We only have the consolation ham, and the emergency ham.”
“Marge, they’re just hams.”
Vendetta. or Farfalle. Really not much of a quote for that one. Just Sideshow Bob’s kid in Italy seeing a butterfly, saying “farfalle” with an air of childlike wonder, and then “farfalle vendetta!,” brandishing a knife at the butterfly.
Inanimate. or Carbon.
“What saved your life upon reentry?”
“This inanimate carbon rod!”
