Quotes

Superintendant Chalmers : Now let's clear this up. Who exactly are you?
Sgt. Seymour Skinner : Sergeant Seymour Skinner, U.S. Army.
Principal Skinner : It's true. I was in his platoon. But, they said you were killed on that scouting mission.
Sgt. Seymour Skinner : No, just captured. It's kind of a funny story, really. After five years in a secret P.O.W. camp, I was sold to China for slave labor. And since '77 I've been making sneakers at gunpoint in a sweatshop in Boo-Haun.
Marge Simpson : That's not a funny story.
Sgt. Seymour Skinner : Well, I guess you had to be there.

Principal Skinner : Hello, Edna. I know we had dinner plans tonight, but instead I'm leaving town forever.

Armin Tamzarian : As strange as it sounds, deep down I think she knew I wasn't her son but... a lie made us both happier than the truth ever could have.
-
Armin Tamzarian : I don't know why I did what I did. I guess I couldn't bear to tell her about her son. What I did was wrong but... I'd do it again.

Judge Snyder : By authority of the city of Springfield, I hereby confer upon you the name of Seymour Skinner, as well as his past, present, future and mother.

Bystanders : YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sgt. Seymour Skinner : You've led quite a life, Tamzarian.
