    • Quotes

      [about Bart's incorrigible behavior]

      Chief Wiggum: You know, you do have options. For example, there are behavior-modifying drugs. How wedded are you to the Bart you know?

      Homer Simpson: Not very.

    Not Very Simpson
    There was almost no zaniness here at all. It's about Lisa joining Bart at a military academy and being shunned by the other cadets. Bart doesn't help because he makes her even more alone. One thing that is missing is a little bit of respect at some point but she gets nothing. It didn't seem to have any fun in it at all.
