- Quotes
Marge Simpson: [Marge leaves the dance room and sees Homer sitting on the stairs crying heavily. She walks up to him] Homer?
Homer: [He sniffles and looks up at her] What?
Marge Simpson: [She sits down beside him] Why are you doing this? Why can't you accept that I'm here with someone else?
Homer: [Sniffles; his voice breaks as he talks] Because I'm... sure we were meant to be together. Usually when I have a thought, there's a lot of *other* thoughts in there... some things says, yes, some things says, no... But this time, there's only yes!
[Cries as he talks]
Homer: How can the only thing I've ever been sure about in my life be wrong?
Marge Simpson: [Looks down] Hm... I don't know... But it is.
[Walks away]

Featured review
Flashback For the Ages!
The twelfth episode in the second season of the Simpsons seems to be a very special episode. This episode is special because it tells us about the past of the Simpsons and who Marge and Homer were in their early days. This is a funny story, but it's also sensitive. The film gives a "what if" statement and we see what could have happened if these two did not meet.
This episode, "The Way We Was," has Homer and Marge telling their children the story of how they met and fell in love with each other during high school.
Overall, this is a fantastic episode because it's in mainly flashback mode. It's a good story in terms of character development and a very interesting tale. It's funny and sweet all at the same time. I rate this film 9/10.
