Quotes
-
James Lipton - Host : [talking to Nancy doing Bart] You seem to like calling Moe's Tavern.
[Nancy smirks at Hank]
James Lipton - Host : Do you recall any of the more popular names that you and Lisa have used in those phone calls?
Hank Azaria : [as Moe] Wait a minute, that was you?
[audience laughter]
Nancy Cartwright : I'll just give him a call. Hello? Ring a ding ding.
Hank Azaria : Yeah, Moe's Tavern. What?
Nancy Cartwright : Yeah, I'm looking for a fellow. Last name "Sexual," first name "Homer."
Hank Azaria : Hold on, I'll check. Uh, is there a Homer Sexual here?
[audience laughter]
Hank Azaria : Hey, what? Oh, that little...
James Lipton - Host : [laughing] You never fail at that, do you, Bart?
Nancy Cartwright : Wait a second, hold on. Redial. Hello? Ring a ding ding.
Hank Azaria : [improvising wildly] Yes, Moe's Tavern, home of the world's smallest large screen TV.

James Lipton - Host : As a Simpson character on one wonderful, brief occasion, I am proud of my cartoon ethnicity. Can someone tell me how the Simpsons characters became yellow?
Yeardley Smith : I can.
James Lipton - Host : Please.
Yeardley Smith : Matt apparently thought it would be really funny if, when people watch "The Simpsons", they thought maybe the color on their TV was off.
[audience laughter]
Yeardley Smith : So, and that they were trying to get the flesh tone on the Simpsons. But they just couldn't. "They're still yellow. What's going on?"
James Lipton - Host : Why did I, why does every cartoon character have only three fingers?
Hank Azaria : That's animation tradition.
Nancy Cartwright : It's because it's cheaper.
[audience laughter]
James Lipton - Host : Well, just think over the years how many millions of dollars have been saved by not putting in that pinkie.
Nancy Cartwright : That's it. It's time. Seriously.
James Lipton - Host : Why does everybody on the show have an overbite?
Hank Azaria : That's a Groening-esque art thing.
James Lipton - Host : That was Groening?
Yeardley Smith , Hank Azaria , Nancy Cartwright , Dan Castellaneta : Yeah.
Dan Castellaneta : He says it's a world without chins.
