Homer: Sure! You'll find it gets rid of the unpleasant aftertaste of church.

Homer: Who do you like in the afternoon games?
Lisa: Well, I like the 49ers because they're pure of heart, Seattle because they've got something to prove, and the Raiders because they always cheat.

Ralph: ...and when the doctor said I didn't have worms any more, that was the happiest day of my life.

Homer: All right, Marge, I'll tell you, but first you have to promise you will not get mad.
Marge: I promise I will get mad, because I always do when you make me promise I won't.
Homer: All right, if you must know. Lisa and I have been gambling on pro football.
Marge: Homer!
Homer: You promised you wouldn't get mad!

Marge: But gambling is illegal!
Homer: Oh, only in 48 states. Besides, it's a victimless crime. The only victim is Moe!

Notes

  • Herman was at Moe's holding a pool cue, however, he only has one arm, so how is he supposed to play?
  • Homer eats, among several other products, New Bar-B-Q Chips, Salt Doodles, Krunchy Korns and pork rinds.
  • Mrs. Hoover's leg dissappears in one scene.
  • In the first shot, the sun is setting behind a nearly flat plain, but in the next shot there is a large mountain in front of it?

References

  • Homer's line to Moe ''I used to hate the smell of your sweaty feet. Now it's the smell of victory'' is take-off of a line from Apocalypse Now.
  • Lisa's Malibu Stacey dolls bear a striking resemblence to Barbie dolls.
