Quotes 

• [appearing on the stadium television] 

  Sideshow Bob : Hello, Springfield. Sorry to divert your attention from all the big noises and shiny things. But something's been troubling me lately: television! Wouldn't our lives be so much richer if television were done away with?

  Moe : What?

  Dr. Hibbert : Surely he's not talking about VH-1.

  Sideshow Bob : Why, we could revive the lost arts of conversation and scrimshaw. Therefore I submit to you, we abolish television, permanently!

  Homer Simpson : Go back to Massachusetts, pinko!

  Sideshow Bob : Oh, and one more thing: I've stolen a nuclear weapon. If you do not rid this city of television in two hours, I will detonate it. Farewell.

  [Bob cuts the link. People start to panic, then Bob reappears] 

  Sideshow Bob : By the way, I'm aware of the irony of appearing on TV in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out.

• Mayor Quimby : We will not negotiate with terrorists. Is there a nearby city who will?

• Abe Simpson : [the air base is on full alert, in search of Sideshow Bob who has commandeered a nuclear bomb. Two soldiers are searching all the Port-A-Johns, finding Abe in one]  This elevator only goes to the basement! And someone made an *awful* mess down there...

• Homer Simpson : [Outside a razor-wire fence, Marge is bandaging up Homer's hands]  Okay, so we *can't* go over the fence...

• Homer Simpson : [Bart is being held hostage on the Wright Brothers' plane. He climbs out on to the wing. Homer is driving his car just a few feet below]  Jump, Bart! I got ya!

  [Bart throws Homer his backpack, but Homer misses it. It bounces off the hood of the car, gets run over by both the front and back wheel and then bursts into flame] 

  Homer Simpson : Now you, boy!
