Quotes 

• Marge Simpson : [Marge leaves the dance room and sees Homer sitting on the stairs crying heavily. She walks up to him]  Homer?

  Homer : [He sniffles and looks up at her]  What?

  Marge Simpson : [She sits down beside him]  Why are you doing this? Why can't you accept that I'm here with someone else?

  Homer : [Sniffles; his voice breaks as he talks]  Because I'm... sure we were meant to be together. Usually when I have a thought, there's a lot of *other* thoughts in there... some things says, yes, some things says, no... But this time, there's only yes!

  [Cries as he talks] 

  Homer : How can the only thing I've ever been sure about in my life be wrong?

  Marge Simpson : [Looks down]  Hm... I don't know... But it is.

  [Walks away] 

• Marge Simpson : Why so glum?

  Homer : [sigh]  I got a problem. Once you stop this car, I'm gonna hug you. And kiss you. And I'll never be able to let you go.

  Homer : [Flashes back to the present]  And I never have

• [after the TV goes blank] 

  Bart : If you look close, you can make them out.

  Homer : Hey, yeah, I think I can...

  Marge Simpson : I think this is sick! You're staring at a dot.

  Homer : [sobbing]  She's right! She's right! Oh, how I miss TV!

  [shouts] 

  Homer : Dear God, just give me one channel!

• Homer : You wanna go out with me?

  Marge Simpson : Um, I don't think you're my type

  Homer : You see the problem is you don't know me. I have references. Just ask Coach Flannigan and Mr Seckofsky. And Barney Gumble.

  Marge Simpson : Hmmmm I don't know

  Homer : Look, I'm not asking you to like me. I'm not asking you to put yourself in a position where I can touch your goodies. I'm just asking you to be fair

• [after the TV goes blank] 

  Marge Simpson : It's not the end of the world. Before we got married, we hardly ever watched TV.

  Bart : You lie!

  Marge Simpson : It's true, Bart. We used to shoot pool and go dancing...

  Lisa Simpson : How romantic!

  Marge Simpson : And sometimes we'd stay at home and talk, just like this.

  Bart : I'm livin' it, but I ain't loving it.
