The Simpsons (TV Series)

Homer's Enemy (1997)

Julie Kavner: Marge Simpson

Quotes 

• Lisa Simpson : Can I go downstairs and see what dad's doing?

  Marge Simpson : I wouldn't bother him, honey. He's making some kind of model for a contest. He says it's really high-tech stuff that we wouldn't understand.

  Homer : [poking his head out of the basement door]  Marge, do we have any elbow macaroni and glue-on sparkles?

• Marge Simpson : I only have five lobsters. Are you sure he's not bringing anyone with him?

  Homer : No, no. He doesn't know he's coming to dinner. I didn't think he'd come, so I called and said I have something really important to tell him and that I could only tell him about it here.

  [hearing the doorbell, he starts panicking] 

  Homer : It's him! It's him! It's him! It's him! It's him! It's him!

  Marge Simpson : Calm down. Homer, calm down. Answer the door.

• Marge Simpson : Homer, why aren't you at work?

  Homer : [sitting in his car in the driveway]  The car won't start. I don't feel very good today. I am at work.

  Marge Simpson : You're afraid to go to work because Frank Grimes will be there, aren't you?

  Homer : That's crazy talk. You're crazy, Marge. Get off the road!

  [he honks the horn] 

  Marge Simpson : [getting in]  You'll have to face him sometime, and when you do, I'm sure he'll be just as anxious to make up as you are.

  Homer : No, he won't. He hates me.

  Marge Simpson : He doesn't hate you. He just feels insecure because you're getting through life so easily and it's been so difficult for him.

  Homer : Yeah! Yeah. That's his problem. He's a nut! It's not about me being lazy. It's about him being a crazy nut.

  Marge Simpson : Well... maybe. But I'll bet he would be less crazy if you were just a little more, mmm... professional in your work.

  [he gasps] 

  Marge Simpson : Just a little more. Then he won't have any reason to resent you.

  Homer : I'll do it.

  [raising a beer] 

  Homer : To professionalism!
