      When Homer is at Mr Burns' desk and is talking to the lamp, as the shot changes the lamp vanishes instantly.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Burns: [Despite Burns' attempt to bribe Lisa with cute little ponies, she refuses to stop printing her newspaper] Very well, you had your chance. I'm going to shred you like a Christmas card. Now *get out!*

      Lisa: [angrily] I can't. My mom's not picking me up for an hour.

      Mr. Burns: [leaning nervously on his desk, Burns is at a loss for words] Well, what do you think of today's popular music scene?

      Lisa: I think it distracts people from more important social issues.

      Mr. Burns: My God, are you always "on"?
