Homer: Man, we should be trying to get into that science fair instead of sitting around here like a bunch of hillbillies.::Roy Lee: Well, I got some real sad news for you Homer. We *are* a bunch of hillbillies.

They'll do what you tell them.::John: I'm not gonna crawl on my belly infront of those miserable union rats.::Elsie: Is that what this is about?

You never showed up, not even once. I'm not asking you to believe in it, but he's your son, for God's sake. And I am asking you to help him. If you don't, I'll leave you. I'll do whatever it takes to get away from here. I will work, if that's what it takes. I'll live in a tree to get away from you. Don't think I won't.::John: Where would you go?::Elsie: [a beat] Myrtle Beach. [she walks away]

Roy Lee: Let them have outer space. We got rock 'n' roll.

Roy Lee: That thing had better fly, or you can kiss your chances of losing your virginity goodbye.

Homer: You know, it, uh, won't fly unless somebody pushes the button. It's yours, if you want it.

Roy Lee: I don't know why they'd drop a bomb on this place, be a heck of a waste of a bomb.

Quotes:

Tom Destry Jr.: Oh, I think I'll stick around. Y'know, I had a friend once used to collect postage stamps. He always said the one good thing about a postage stamp: it always sticks to one thing 'til it gets there, y'know? I'm sorta like that too.

[Having sworn in his new deputy]::Washington Dimsdale: Here's your badge. Don't let anybody see it.

Tom Destry Jr.: Well, you will fool 'em, Wash. We'll fool 'em together.::Washington Dimsdale: The only way to do that is fill 'em full of lead.::Tom Destry Jr.: No, no, no, what for? You shoot it out with 'em and for some reason or other, I don't know why, they get to look like heroes. But you put 'em behind bars and they look little and cheap, the way they oughta look.

Tom Destry Jr.: I'll bet you've got kind of a lovely face under all that paint, huh? Why don't you wipe it off someday and have a good look - and figure out how you can live up to it.

Tom Destry Jr.: He reminds me of a little kid I used to know. He done in both his pa and ma with a crowbar.::Washington Dimsdale: No!::Tom Destry Jr.: Yes, he did. Now the judge said to him, "Do you got anything to say for yourself?". And the kid said, "Well I just hope that Your Honor has some regard for the feelings of a poor orphan."

Washington Dimsdale: Oh, Tom! Look here! Look at this post! Soaked through and through with the blood of Sawtooth McGhee. Yeah, he objected to a petticoat a neighbor's wife was wearing... and they fit to a draw. Both are buried in the same grave.::Tom Destry Jr.: Sawtooth and the petticoat?::Washington Dimsdale: No! Sawtooth and the neighbor! And four innocent bystanders!

[Destry & Dimsdale have stopped the gunfight at the Claggett farm. One of Kent's men points a gun at Dimsdale. Destry hits him on the neck with his gloves]::Tom Destry Jr.: Big bee - about that big - right on the back of your neck. I got him, though.::Bugs Watson: Thanks.

Jack Tyndall: I ain't one of your weak-livered citizens that busts out cryin' every time you snap your fingers and I ain't gonna pay Kent's fancy prices. Now whaddaya aim to do about it?::Tom Destry Jr.: Nothin' at present.::Jack Tyndall: That's what I thought. Well, I'll get somethin' done about it if I have to take the law in my own hands!::Tom Destry Jr.: Nobody's gonna set themselves up above the law around here, ya understand? I got somethin' to say to you. I think maybe I could illustrate it a little better if I told you a story: I used to have a friend that was an opera singer. Then he went into the cement business - and one day he fell into the cement. And now he's the cornerstone of the post office in St. Louis, Missouri. He shoulda stuck to his own trade. You better stick to yours.

Washington Dimsdale: Frenchy, am I really Sheriff?::Frenchy: Sure you are!::Washington Dimsdale: Then I'm off the liquor. A man's got to choose between the bottle and the badge.

[Wash announces he will send for Tom Destry to be his Deputy Sheriff]::Frenchy: But Destry's dead!::Bugs Watson: That makes him the right man for the job.::Gyp Watson: Save us a lot of trouble.::Washington Dimsdale: Is that so? Well, young Tom ain't dead and his father brought him up to be the toughest and fightin'est man that ever growed up in the West! He ain't got as big a name as his pa, but he cleaned up Tombstone and I'm sendin' for him to be my deputy and when he gets here, Destry will ride again!
