Marge vs. the Monorail (1993)

Nancy Cartwright: Bart Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Child in Lisa's Class, Mother of Krusty's Son, Singing Crowd

Quotes 

• Homer : Are we gonna die son?

  Bart : Yeah. But at least we'll take a lot of innocent people with us.

• Sebastian Kobb : [to Homer, over radio]  I think I have a way to stop the train. You need to find an anchor of some sort.

  [Homer looks at Bart, and imagines him as an anchor] 

  Bart : Think harder, Homer.

• Marge : But Main Street's still all cracked and broken.

  Bart : Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken!

  Crowd : [heading outside to the front steps while singing]  Monorail... Monorail... Monoraaaaaaaaail! MONORAIL!

  Homer : Mono - D'oh!

• Miss Hoover : Thank you for coming, Mr. Lanley. I'm Miss Hoover.

  Miss Hoover : MISS Hoover? That is hard to believe!

  Miss Hoover : Oh, you. Ho, ho!

  Lyle Lanely : Now, I'm here to answer any questions you children have about the monorail.

  [kids raise their hands and call out "Me! Me!"] 

  Ralph Wiggum : Can it outrun The Flash?

  Lyle Lanely : You bet!

  Child in Lisa's Class : Can Superman outrun The Flash?

  Lyle Lanely : Eh - sure, why not. Hello, little girl! Wondering if your dolly can ride the monorail for free?

  Lisa Simpson : Hardly. I'd like you to explain why we should build a mass-transit system in a small town with a centralized population.

  Lyle Lanely : Ha, ha! Young lady, that's the most intelligent question I've ever been asked.

  Lisa Simpson : Really?

  Lyle Lanely : Oh, I could give you an answer. But the only ones who'd understand it would be you and me - and that includes your teacher!

  [Lisa giggles, flattered] 

  Lyle Lanely : Next question - you there, eating the paste.
