"Lisa, the important thing is for your mother to repress what happened. "Sounds like SOMEONE'S workin' for their CAR! Simplify, man!" "A half-ton of newspaper and all we get is seventy five cents? That won't even cover the gas I used to go to the store to buy the twine to tie up the bundles!" Not only does it showcase Lisa's ability to outsmart her own father, but there are little touches that make it amusing, like how Homer doesn't even react to the news that Bart went to the hospital, or that he doesn't like the sound of Lisa going to a museum, or that he doesn't even recognize his own daughter on the other end. Homer: That a girl, I love you so- (Lisa hangs up)" I'm afraid you're gonna have to take the bus. I know you had your heart set on the limo but sometimes daddy's have to say no, honey. Lisa: Hmmm, I guess I could take the bus if you think that's a better idea. Homer: $200?! Ohh, isn't there any other way? Lisa: Well, if it would put your mind at ease I could take a limousine. Homer: Hmmm, so you wanna take the bus, huh? I don't know, that's a pretty big decision. She said something, but she was kind of in a rush to get Bart to the emergency room. Lisa: Umm, I wasn't one hundred percent clear on that. Homer: Museum? I don't like the sound of that. Lisa: It's Lisa! I just called to tell you how much I love you and can I take the bus to the museum? ^ This is seriously one of my favorite Homer lines of all time. "Why didn't someone tell me what I was volunteering for? This is everybody's fault but mine." ^ Er, the fault's on your end for that one, Homer. "Then why didn't you tell the rest of us? WHY DID YOU KEEP IT A SECRET?! (to Bart) If you were 17, we'd be rich.
