Krusty the Clown : [Krusty is telling the Simpsons the story of how he became estranged from his father, Rabbi Krustofski when he was the entertainer at a rabbi's convention] My father would have never suspected a thing if it were not for one rowdy Rabbi.
Rowdy Rabbi : [a Rabbi in the audience stands up with a bottle full of Seltzer] Hey, funny man!
Krusty the Clown : No, no, no!
[the Rabbi sprays Krusty washing off his clown makeup unmasking him to the audience]
Rabbi Hyman Krustofski : [recognising his son] Herschel? Herschel! Oy, vei is mir! You have brought shame on our family. Oh, if you were a musician or a jazz singer this I could forgive but... but, but this. I never want to see you again you, you... clown!
