Works on contingency? No, money down!

Lionel Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer.
Bart: A thousand dollars? But your ad says “no money down”.
Lionel Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up.
Bart: So you don’t work on a contingency basis?
Lionel Hutz: No, money down. Oops, I shouldn’t have the Bar Association logo here either.

I love the jingle from the Mr. Plow episode, and it’s a nice change to see Homer working hard at something instead of his usual couch-potato self!

I guess my favourite joke is in the episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” where Seymour Skinner invites superintendend chalmers for lunch. Which ends with Skinners house and fire claiming it’s the northern light in his kitchen. I could describe the whole thing, but it’s easier if you guys watch it:

It would be Homer’s “kids, you tryed your best and failed miserably. The thing you learn from this is: never try!”

Or
“I can make people’s life misery and no one can do anything about it… I’m just like GOD!”

“Do it for her.”

My favorite quote:

“Books are useless! I only ever read one book, “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin… but what good does that do me?”- Homer Simpson
