Mother Simpson : Remember, whatever happens, you have a mother, and she's truly proud of you.

Marge : Mother Simpson, we'd like to ask you a few questions about your past.
Mother Simpson : Can't reminisce. Sleeping.
Bart : [she pretends to fall asleep] Spill it, Muddy Mae, or we're calling the cops!
Mother Simpson : Please don't.

Homer : [Upon meeting his mother] I thought you were dead!
Mother Simpson : I thought *you* were dead!
Gravedigger : [near a coffin] Oh, dang blast it! Isn't anybody in this dad gummed cemetery DEAD?
Hans Moleman : [emerging from the coffin that is descending] I didn't want to cause a fuss, but now that you mention it...

Mother Simpson : I saw all your awards, Lisa. They're mighty impressive.
Lisa : Oh, I just keep them out to bug Bart.
Mother Simpson : Don't be bashful. When I was your age, kids made fun of me because I read at the ninth-grade level.
Lisa : Me, too!
Homer : [doing a walking handstand] Hey, Mom, look at me! Look at what I can do!
Mother Simpson : I see you, Homer. That's very nice. Although I hardly consider "A Separate Peace" the ninth-grade level.
Lisa : Yeah, more like preschool.
Mother Simpson : I hate John Knowles.
Lisa : Me, too.
[they share a laugh and sigh]
Homer : Mom, you're not looking!
Mother Simpson : You know, Lisa, I feel like I have an instant rapport with you.
Lisa : [excited gasp] You didn't dumb it down. You said "rapport".

Mother Simpson : [recounting the neutralization of Mr. Burns' germ laboratory] From that moment on, my life as I knew it was over.
Kent Brockman : [cut to her watching the news] Only one member of the Springfield Seven was identified. She's been described as a woman in her early 30s, yellow complexion, and may be extremely helpful. For Channel Six News, I'm Kenny Brockelstein.
Mother Simpson : [entering Homer's room where he sleeps] Homer?
[kissing his forehead, then leaving]
Mother Simpson : I'll miss you, Homer.
Homer : I thought I dreamed that kiss.
Marge : I'm so sorry I misjudged you, Mom. You had to leave to protect your family.
Lisa : How did you survive?
Mother Simpson : Oh, I had help from my friends in the underground. Jerry Rubin gave me a job marking his line of health shakes. I proofread Bobby Seale's cookbook, and I ran credit checks at Tom Hayden's Porsche dealership.
-
Mona Simpson : [putting Homer to bed] Abe, isn't Homer cute?
Grampa : [indifferently] Probably. I'm trying to watch the Super Bowl. If people don't support this thing, it might not make it.
-
Homer : [listening to his mother's story of why she abandoned him] There's one thing I don't understand. In all those years, why didn't you ever try to contact me?
Mother Simpson : But I did. I sent you a care package every week.
Homer : Oh, come on, Mom. We use that same line on the kids when they're at camp.
Mother Simpson : But I did. I really did. I'll prove it to you.
Homer : [cut to them at the post office] Any undelivered mail for Homer J. Simpson?
Post Office Clerk : No. Oh, wait. This.
[putting a mailbag full of packages on the counter]
Post Office Clerk : That's what happens when you don't tip your letter carrier at Christmas.
