Quotes

add »
Smithers: Someone is charging room service to the company, sir.
Mr. Burns: Well, we'll just see about that!
(Mr. Burns walks over to a cage full of winged monkeys and opens it.)
Mr. Burns: Fly, my pretties, fly!
(The monkeys jump out the window, and fall to the ground.)
Mr. Burns: (Sighs) Continue the research. (edit)
Lisa: Well from the words in your song, you're smitten by a woman named Mindy… or a man named Andy. (edit)
Homer: (about Mindy) Temptress! I also bet she thinks that Ziggy has gotten preachy over the years. (edit)
Labor Inspector: This plant violates every labor law in the book. We found a missing Brazilian soccer team working in your reactor core!
Mr. Burns: That plane crashed on my property! (edit)
Homer: Even the Chinese are against me. (edit)

Trivia

Allusions

add »
The Nutty Professor
When Bart is fitted with the glasses and platform shoes, his voice and appearance are similar to Jerry Lewis in this classic film. Of course this is also where Prof. John Frink gets his entire character. (edit)
Lady and the Tramp
Homer and Mindy share a chili dog just like Lady and Tramp share a strand of spaghetti in the 1955 movie Lady and the Tramp. (edit)
The Wizard of Oz
After Homer and Mindy order room service, an alarm sounds in Mr. Burns office. Outraged by their actions, Burns releases his flying monkeys, which inevitably fall to the ground. This is a reference to the classic 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. (edit)
Birth of Venus
When Homer has a hallucination and sees Mindy as "a naked chick riding a clam," this is a spoof of Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus painting. Venus (or Aphrodite) is the Greco-Roman goddess of love and beauty. Mindy even has reddish hair like the goddess in the painting. (edit)
The Last Temptation of Christ
The title of this episode is a parody of the title of the 1988 film, The Last Temptation of Christ. There is also a line where Homer says, "Colonel Klink, why have you forsaken me?" This quote is similar to Jesus' reputed words on the cross. You can find this in The New Testament. (edit)
