Homer : All right, time for my favorite show.
'Monkey Trauma Center' Announcer : "MTC: Monkey Trauma Center" will not be seen tonight...
Homer : [disappointed] Aw.
'Monkey Trauma Center' Announcer : ...so we may proudly present this much cheaper show.
Taxicab Conversations Announcer : [sultry voice] "Taxicab Conversations."
Lisa : Hey, I read about this show in "Teen Modern Maturity". They film passengers with hidden cameras and catch them at their most uninhibited.
Marge : That explains that.
Female Cab Driver : [leaving a nightclub, Disco Stu gets in her cab] Looks like somebody got down tonight.
Disco Stu : Disco Stu always gets down, baby. 'Cause when the beat is hot, the...
[sighing]
Disco Stu : Hey, can you keep a secret?
Female Cab Driver : What is it, hon?
Disco Stu : [dropping his act] I hate disco. It's all I've talked about for so long that people think I'm a one-note guy. It's just getting harder, you know?
Lisa : I had no idea Disco Stu was so complex.

Carl : You wouldn't serve Homer just 'cause he didn't have money?
Lenny : What happened to you, Moe? You used to be about the booze.
Moe Szyslak : Ah, yeah. I guess I got caught up in all the glitz and glamor.
[on the countertop, a rat nibbles on a pretzel]
Homer : [entering, wasted] Well, Moe.
Moe Szyslak : Homer, I'm so sorry. Have a free beer.
Homer : Oh.
[taking a sip]
Homer : Uh, I don't care about the color of your skin, Lenny. You're my friend.
Lenny : Man, I've never seen anybody get loaded so fast.
Moe Szyslak : Homer, can you say the alphabet backwards?
Homer : Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? You...
Carl : Hey, I'm worried.
Homer : I've had just about enough of you.
Carl : [shaking his fist as Homer shoves him] Oh, yeah?
Homer : Uh-uh.
[showing him a pin that reads "Be nice to me. I gave blood."]
Carl : Ah, rats.

Homer : You're rock stars. You're supposed to be reckless and destructive and be celebrated for behavior that would land normal people in jail.
Keith Richards : That's what I told 'em, Homer. But just the same, we'd like to make it up to you.
Mick Jagger : We're doing a gig tomorrow to benefit the victims of tonight's gig. And we'd consider it an honor if you'd join us.
[holding up a jacket with "guitar hero" stitched on the back]
Homer : Well, you're very sweet, Mick. But the only rocking I wanna do is in my living room chair surrounded by the world's greatest backup group, my family.
Lisa : [transition to him taking the kids to school the following day] Are you sure you don't miss hanging out with your rock-star friends, Dad?
Homer : No, I got something to remember 'em by.
[he chuckles as it's revealed he's driving the Satan-head stage prop]
Homer : Have fun at school, kids.
Bart Simpson : Later, Homer.
Principal Skinner : Mr. Simpson, this zone is for school buses only.
Homer : [using the flame thrower to burn off Skinner's clothes] Rock and roll! Whoo-hoo!
