### Human: I am looking forward to an orderly election tomorrow, which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath. ### Assistant: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates! They're nothing but hideous space reptiles!
### Human: Ow! I don't understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I never even heard of. ### Assistant: Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.
### Human: Ow! I don't understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I never even heard of. ### Assistant:
### Human: You took a new job in a strange town without discussing it with your family? ### Assistant: Of course not. I wouldn't do that. Why not?
### Human: We have roots here, Homer. We have friends and family and library cards... Bart's lawyer is here. ### Assistant: But Marge, this is a chance for me to fulfill my lifelong dream.
### Human: What lifelong dream? ### Assistant: Promise not to laugh? I always wanted to own the Dallas Cowboys.
### Human: Homer, I don't want to leave Springfield. I've dug myself into a happy little rut here and I'm not about to hoist myself out of it. ### Assistant: Just bring the rut with you, honey. Come on, take a look.
### Human: Cypress Creek. A tale of one city... ### Assistant: Ah, let's watch something else.
### Human: Homer! You're trying to talk us into moving to this place. ### Assistant: Oh yeah, that's right. Let's watch this.
### Human: Your dreams may vary from those of Globex Corporation, its subsidiaries, and shareholders. ### Assistant: Well! What do you think of me and Cypress Creek now, Marge?
### Human: Even if we sell the house, we still won't come close to paying off the mortgage. ### Assistant: Heeeeey...
### Human: Uh... Homer... Ah, about those things you borrowed from me over the years -- you know -- the TV trays, the power sander, that downstairs bathtub... you going to be needing those things in Cypress Creek? ### Assistant: Yes.
### Human: Oh... uh... ### Assistant: Okily dokily.
### Human: Haw-haw. ### Assistant: I'm gonna miss Springfield. This town's been awfully good to us.
### Human: Oooh! ### Assistant: Here we are, 15201 Maple Systems Road... Our new home.
### Human: I am here to welcome you on behalf of the President of the Globex Corporation, me. Try the papayas. They're juicy and full of papayine. Makes you strong. Like Popeye. Popeye, papayine. Popeye, papayine. See, same thing? Same... Ah, forget it. How are ya? I'm Hank Scorpio. ### Assistant: Wow! My boss!
### Human: Aw sure, I come later in the day, I get paid a lot more and I take longer vacations. But I don't like the word "boss". Hey, look at my feet. ### Assistant: Okay...
### Human: Ha! Ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe? ### Assistant: Yes, once.
### Human: See you at work tomorrow! Although I don't really like to call it "work"! ### Assistant: Wowww.
### Human: You will notice, my new best friend, that we are pretty casual around here. ### Assistant: Yes sir, I will notice that. Very casual, Mr. Scorpion.
### Human: Don't call me Mr. Scorpion. It's Mr. Scorpi-o. But don't call me that, either. Call me Hank. Uh, say, before we continue our tour, would you mind hanging my coat up on the wall, please? ### Assistant:
### Human: Relax, Homer. At Globex, we don't believe in walls. Matter of fact, I didn't even give you my coat. ### Assistant: Wow.
### Human: Having a place like this has always been my dream, Homer. What's your dream? ### Assistant: Uh... to work for you?
### Human: Don't do that. My butt is for sitting, not for kissing. Now you tell me the truth -- What's your real dream? Your real dream? ### Assistant: Um... Someday I'd like to own the Dallas Cowboys.
### Human: I bet people laughed at you when you told them that dream. ### Assistant: Yeah.
### Human: Homer, don't give up. They laughed at me the first time I wore jeans with a sport coat. I was the first wealthy man in America to ever do that. Now they all do it!... Didja ever hear of Mike Milken? ### Assistant: Ye... No.
### Human: Now Homer, these gentlemen here will be your eyes and your ears and, should the need arise, they'll fill in for any other part of your body. Your job will be to manage and motivate them. Give them the benefit of your years of experience. ### Assistant: Don't worry. That won't take long.
### Human: I want you to close your eyes and fall backwards and I'll catch you. That's gonna show you what trust is all about. Ready? ### Assistant: All right.
### Human: One second... Hello? ### Assistant: Doh!
### Human: Yes sir, Mr. Simpson. ### Assistant: Could you, um... work any harder than this?
### Human: Sure thing, boss. ### Assistant: Hey, call me Homer.
### Human: I moved here from Canada and they think I'm slow, eh? ### Assistant: Hey, what's with you sad sacks?
### Human: Sports collectibles! Wow, a baseball made out of Secretariat! ### Assistant: Tom Landry's hat! And it's autographed! "To Berman's Dry Cleaning, Best Wishes, Tom Landry."
### Human: Why don't you buy it? ### Assistant: I can't buy that. Only management type guys with big salaries like me can afford things like that. Guys like me? I'm a guy like me!
### Human: I'm sorry, we're just a little tired, sir. We've been pushing ourselves real hard to get the reactor on-line. ### Assistant: Tired, eh? What you guys need... is hammocks.
### Human: Oh, hi, Homer! What can I do for you? ### Assistant: All right... What's the number?
### Human: Oh, hi, Homer! What can I do for you? ### Assistant: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
### Human: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there are four places: There's the "Hammock Hut"; that's on Third... ### Assistant: Uh-huh.
### Human: There's "Hammocks-R-Us"... ### Assistant: Got it...
### Human: That's on Third, too. You got "Put Your Butt There"... ### Assistant: Umm-hmmm...
### Human: That's on Third. ### Assistant: Yes...
### Human: "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"... ### Assistant: Right...
### Human: That might... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex. It's the Hammock Complex, down on Third? ### Assistant: Oh, the Hammock District.
### Human: Uh, Homer. One second. I gotta take care of this. Very important. 'Be right back. ### Assistant: Fine.
### Human: Back to the hammocks, my friend. ### Assistant: Yes.
### Human: You know, there's a little place called "Mary Ann's Hammocks". The nice thing about that place is Mary Ann gets in the hammock with you. I'm just kiddin'. ### Assistant: Oh.
### Human: You know who invented the hammock, Homer? ### Assistant: No?
### Human: That's something for you to do. Find that out. ### Assistant: Any sugar around here?
### Human: Good. By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country, Italy or France? ### Assistant: France.
### Human: Nobody ever says Italy. ### Assistant: I've never noticed this office before.
### Human: Why should you? -- It's mine. ### Assistant: Eh, you have any sugar around here?
### Human: Here you go. Sorry it's not in packages. Want some cream? ### Assistant: Eh... I... no.
### Human: Stop him! He's supposed to die! ### Assistant: Aargh!
### Human: Nice work, Homer. Am I prouda you! ### Assistant: Well...
### Human: I've been so bored since we moved here, I've found myself drinking a glass of wine every day. I know doctors say you should drink a glass and a half, but I just can't drink that much. ### Assistant: Well, the Simpson men are doing fine, right, Bart? You haven't even gotten in trouble at school.
### Human: We want to go back to Springfield. ### Assistant: What?! We've got it great here. And for the first time in my life, I'm actually good at my job. My team is way ahead of the weather machine and germ warfare divisions.
### Human: It's up to you, Homer. Whatever you decide, that's what we'll do. ### Assistant:
### Human: T minus 1 minute 35 seconds. ### Assistant: Uh, I've got a problem, Hank.
### Human: Aw, gee, Homer, could it wait a sec, please? ### Assistant: Well, it's pretty important.
### Human: Aw, gee, Homer, could it wait a sec, please? ### Assistant: Say, what's going on?
### Human: I'm having a little trouble with the government. ### Assistant: Aw, those jerks. Always walking over the small businessman. Don't get me started about the government.
### Human: What's the problem? ### Assistant: Well, my family wants to move back to Springfield.
### Human: What's bothering them? ### Assistant: Nothing big. It's just a lot of little things.
### Human: Homer, I'm disappointed, but I think you need to do what's best for your family. ### Assistant: Well... Thanks for everything, Hank.
### Human: Telegram. ### Assistant: "Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without you. This will get you a little closer to that dream of yours. It's not the Dallas Cowboys, but it's a start. Drop me a line if you're on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio."
### Human: Telegram. ### Assistant: Aw, the Denver Broncos.
### Human: I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good. ### Assistant: Yeah yeah.
### Human: Well explain to me why it isn't. ### Assistant: You just don't understand football, Marge.
### Human: Weren't there three Indians last year? ### Assistant: Look, Marge! They opened a new high-tech gadget store! You love high-tech gadgets!
### Human: No, I don't. ### Assistant: Like bull you don't! Come on!
### Human: Homer, please, you're hurting my arm! ### Assistant: No, I'm not!
### Human: Night vision goggles? A bathroom scale from a Soviet sub? A suede briefcase-case? Oh, anyone who needs this kind of status symbol must have some terrible emotional problems... ### Assistant: Marge, look!
### Human: Night vision goggles? A bathroom scale from a Soviet sub? A suede briefcase-case? Oh, anyone who needs this kind of status symbol must have some terrible emotional problems... ### Assistant: "The World's Best Jacket!" If I had this it would show everybody... show everybody!
### Human: Some bullies beat me up and took it. ### Assistant: Son, there's only one thing punks like that understand: squealing. You've got to squeal to every teacher and every grown-up you can find. Coming to me was a good start.
### Human: But then they'll just beat me up even worse. ### Assistant: Yesss, they are a clever bunch. I know, I'll squeal for you. To their parents.
### Human: This is for the crummy life I've had to live! ### Assistant: The thing is -- oof! -- Bart really loves that belt and -- ugh!
### Human: Jeez, Homer, I never seen a guy stand up to that kinda punishment -- I mean, you took a three-man poundin' and didn't ever fall down. ### Assistant: Big deal. I didn't even get my kid's belt back. The only thing a loser like me is good for is taking beatings.
### Human: There ya go! That's the spirit! Homer, I seen prizefighters couldn't take a punch half as good as you! Y'know, boxing might be right up your alley! ### Assistant: Really?
### Human: Aw, please, it's the good life, Homer. Some of these boxers, they eat steak and lobster and salad bar all in a single meal! ### Assistant: Dressing?
### Human: Their choice. ### Assistant: You really think I could do it?
### Human: Well, I dunno, are you man enough to test every one of your limits? ### Assistant: Yes!
### Human: And are you man enough to throw a punch, should the opportunity arise? ### Assistant: Yes!
### Human: And are you man enough to give me a sixty percent cut? ### Assistant: YES!!
### Human: I'll take it!! ### Assistant: Woo hoo!
### Human: Yeah, well, when I realized we hadn't had no ladies in here since 1979, I turned it into an office. ### Assistant: You used to be a boxer just like me?
### Human: Yep. They called me "Kid Gorgeous." Later on, it was "Kid Presentable." Then "Kid Gruesome." And finally, "Kid Moe." ### Assistant: Hey, what's this?
### Human: Aw, that -- that's my old spit bucket. Yeah, I been meanin' to empty that out. ### Assistant: You know Lucius Sweet? He's one of the biggest names in boxing! He's exactly as rich and as famous as Don King, and he looks just like him, too.
### Human: Yeah, he was my manager. Back when I was gorgeous, everybody wanted a piece of me. But somehow I just never made it to the big time. ### Assistant: Why not?
### Human: 'Cause I got knocked out forty times in a row. That, plus politics. You know, it's all politics... ### Assistant: Lousy Democrats.
### Human: Homer, of all the crazy ideas you've had, this one ranks somewhere in the middle. You're thirty-eight years old, you don't know how to box and you haven't gotten any exercise since grade school. Before you even consider this, I insist you consult a doctor. ### Assistant: No problemo.
### Human: A competent doctor! ### Assistant:
### Human: You have an absolutely unique genetic condition known as "Homer Simpson's Syndrome." ### Assistant: Oh, why me?
### Human: Oooo-kay... Let's see the right. ### Assistant: Just a second.
### Human: When you're ready... ### Assistant: All right... Ready... Wait a minute... All right... Wait a minute... Just a sec...
### Human: Okay, punching isn't your thing. But that's okay... you're not that kind of fighter. What you're gonna do is stand there while your opponent gets exhausted from overpunching. ### Assistant: Then I can just push him over.
### Human: Who's gonna knock you down? ### Assistant: No one.
### Human: When are you gonna fight back? ### Assistant: Never.
### Human: What are you gonna do? ### Assistant: Nothing.
### Human: Okay. You're fighting a guy named Boxcar Bob. ### Assistant: Brawled his way up from the boxcars, did he?
### Human: Homer, I want you to have my lucky mitts. I hope you do better with 'em than I did. ### Assistant: Gee, thanks, Moe... What's this?
