Quotes 

• Eduardo : To win, we will need a very special dance. La Tango de la Muerte!

  Lisabella : Only one man has ever been foolish enough to attempt that dance, and he is dead!

  Eduardo : My twin brother, Freduardo. But where he died, I shall live - in his apartment.

  [They dance La Tango de la Muerte and survive] 

  Eduardo : You are now carrying my child.

  Lisabella : But how?

  Eduardo : It is the mystery of the dance.

• Lisa Simpson : Little Vicki, I figured out how to dance. I can be in the show now!

  Vicki Valentine : I'm sorry, Lisa. People go to a children's dance recital expecting a certain level of professionalism.

  Ralph Wiggum : But, but you don't understand... I ate too much plastic candy.

  Vicki Valentine : Heavens to Betsy, the star of the show is sick! Whatever will we do? There's only one person who can get us out of this pickle. Lisa?

  Lisa Simpson : Yes?

  Vicki Valentine : Help me into Ralph's costume.

• Vicki Valentine : Okay, kids, tonight's the big night. Now remember, the important thing is to just dance flawlessly.

  Lisa Simpson : Excuse me... Why isn't my name in the program.

  Vicki Valentine : It is, silly. You've got the most important part of all. Curtain puller? No one can see the show if the curtain isn't open!

  Lisa Simpson : But my parents are counting on seeing me dance! And I've worked ever so hard.

  Vicki Valentine : I'm sorry, Lisa. But giving everyone an equal part when they're clearly not equal, is called what again, class?

  Class : Communism!

• Professor Frink : [Examining Lisa's self dancing shoes]  Jesus, Mary and Glavin! These shoes are in the 'Off' position!

  Lisa Simpson : You mean I danced all by myself?

  Marge Simpson : See, honey? All you needed was to believe...

  Homer Simpson : [Snatching the shoes from Professor Frink]  What are you talking about, Professor Frink? They're *clearly* in the 'On' position. See? 'On'.

  [Shows them to Lisa. Her face falls] 

  Professor Frink : I was merely trying to spare the girl's feelings, you insensitive clod.

  Homer Simpson : Oh, ohhh! Well, now that I look even closer...

  Lisa Simpson : Forget it, Dad.
