Yeardley Smith: Lisa Simpson

Quotes 

• Homer Simpson : [singing along to Bart's music video]  Yvan eht nioj. You gotta love that crazy chorus.

  Lisa Simpson : What does it mean?

  Homer Simpson : Eh, it doesn't mean anything. It's like "rama-lama-ding-dong" or "give peace a chance."

• Lisa Simpson : Yvan eht nioj. They keep saying that. Wait, what was that?

  [rewinding and seeing an Uncle Sam recruitment poster] 

  Lisa Simpson : Uncle Sam? Let me play this backwards.

  [doing so, she realizes they're saying "join the navy"] 

  Lisa Simpson : They're recruiting people with subliminal messages!

  [hearing a honk, she looks out the window to see Otto boarding a bus] 

  Lisa Simpson : Otto, what are you doing?

  Otto : I don't know. I just got an urge to join the Navy.

  Lisa Simpson : You're being brainwashed!

  Otto : Yeah, probably. Yvan eht nioj!

• Homer Simpson : Marge, after a lot of thought, I've decided to run the Springfield marathon.

  Marge Simpson : Oh, please. You get exhausted watching "The Twilight Zone" marathon.

  [laughs] 

  Marge Simpson : I'm a regular Billy Crystal!

  Bart Simpson : You got that right.

  Lisa Simpson : Well, dad, I think running's good exercise. It adds years to your life.

  Homer Simpson : Stay out of this, Lisa.

• Lisa Simpson : [to L.T. Smash]  But you have recruiting ads on TV. Why do you need subliminal messages?

  L.T Smash : It's a three-pronged attack: subliminal, liminal, and super liminal.

  Lisa Simpson : Super liminal?

  L.T Smash : I'll show you.

  [shouts out the window to Lenny and Carl] 

  L.T Smash : Hey, you! Join the Navy!

  Carl : Uh, yeah, all right.

  Lenny : I'm in.

• Marge Simpson : [watching the marathon]  Hey, Grandpa's running!

  Lisa Simpson : That's not Grandpa. Dad's just dehydrated.

• Lisa Simpson : How could you soil the good name of Star Blitzzz Promotions?

  Smash : Oh, come on, Lisa. We've always used pop stars to recruit people, going back to Elvis. Then there was "Sgt. Pepper's," the Captain & Tennile, and the KISS Army.

• Lisa Simpson : Mom, can't Bart get his massage somewhere else?

  Marge Simpson : Don't be selfish, Lisa.

  Homer Simpson : Will you two shut up? I'm missing precious VJ prattle.

• Homer Simpson : Wait a minute. Bart's band is brainwashing kids with subliminal messages? That's pretty far-fetched, Lisa.

  Marge Simpson : Are you sure someone hasn't been bitten by the jealousy bug?

  Homer Simpson : [trying to be playful]  Here comes the jealousy bug! Gonna get you!

  Lisa Simpson : Hey!

  Homer Simpson : Gonna get you!

  Lisa Simpson : Hey! Cut it out. You're a grown man.

  Homer Simpson : [with a gasp, he starts to pout]  I wanna go home now.

  Marge Simpson : Nobody's going home. We're going to see Bart's concert.

  Lisa Simpson : An aircraft carrier? Oh, that's subtle.

• Lisa Simpson : You got all your equipment, dad?

  Homer Simpson : Let's see. Sweat bands... check. Anti-chafing nipple tape... check, check, and check.
