Quotes 

• Marge Simpson : Lisa, I apologize to you, I was wrong! I take it all back. Always be yourself. If you want to be sad, honey, be sad. We'll ride it out with you. And when you get finished feeling sad, we'll still be there. From now on, let me do the smiling for both of us.

  Lisa : [smiles]  Okay, Mom.

  Marge Simpson : I said you could stop smiling, Lisa.

  Lisa : I *feel* like smiling.

  [They embrace] 

• Marge : Bart's such a handful, and Maggie needs attention, but all the while, our little Lisa's becoming a young woman.

  Homer : Oh, so that's it, this is some kind of underwear thing.

• Marge Simpson : It doesn't matter how you feel inside, you know. It's what shows up on the outside that counts. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees, until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and boys will like you. And happiness will follow.

• Bart Simpson : I didn't do it. No one saw me do it. There's no way they can prove anything.

  Marge Simpson : Bart, this note isn't about you.

  Bart Simpson : It isn't? There must be some mistake.

• Marge Simpson : Lisa, get away from that jazzman!

  Lisa : But mom, can't I stay a little longer?

  Marge Simpson : Come on, come on; we were worried about you.

  [to Bleeding Gums Murphy]

• Marge Simpson : I'm sorry, everybody, but I only got two cupcakes for the three of you.

  Bart Simpson : Well, mom, one of us have scarfed down more than enough cupcakes for the passed three decades to keep -

  [interrupted by Homer] 

  Homer : Bart!

• Homer : Bart "The Bloody Pulp" Simpson is on the ropes. He is hoping I'll put him out of his misery. Well, your in luck, Bart. Here comes my right!

  [Marge pulls the plug on the TV] 

  Homer : Oh no! My game! My game! I could have beat the boy! Marge, how could you? I was so close.

  Marge Simpson : I'm sorry, but this is more important than that silly loud game.

  Bart Simpson : You're right, Mom. I'd just like to use this occasion to announce my retirement, undefeated, from the world of video boxing.
