Memorable Quotes
Moe: (answering phone) Moe's Tavern, where the peanut bowl is freshened hourly.

Homer: Who do you like in the afternoon games?

Homer: All right, Marge, I'll tell you, but first you have to promise you will not get mad.
Marge: I promise I will get mad, because I always do when you make me promise I won't.
Homer: All right, if you must know. Lisa and I have been gambling on pro football.
Marge: Homer!
Homer: You promised you wouldn't get mad!
Marge: But gambling is illegal!
Homer: Oh, only in 48 states. Besides, it's a victimless crime. The only victim is Moe!
