Transcript
Man: Climb it, man! All right! Hey, Ma, I'm on TV! Hey, where's that weather chick? Ooh! This is some wicked party, huh? Hey, have you seen Sully?
KB: Get away from here! Hey! I need that pencil! Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing... is a total disregard for the things St. Patrick's Day stands for. All this drinking, violence, destruction of property- Are these the things we think of when we think of the lrish?

Bart: I'm going down to Moe's for a couple beers.
Homer: I'll come with you.
Marge: No! No more drinking. I'm tired of looking like the world's worst mother.
Homer: Oh, honey, you're not the world's worst mother. What about that freezer lady in Georgia?
