Deep Space Homer/Quotes

:Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over, 'conquered' if you will, by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. But, one thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

:Buzz Aldrin: Careful, they're ruffled!
----

:Tim Taylor: (finally gets his rider mower to start) Yes! I did it! I finally turbo-charged my riding mower! Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! (puts it in gear, it goes into reverse, knocks over the fence, and runs over next-door neighbor Wilson)

:Bart: Wow... My father, an astronaut. I feel so full of- What's the opposite of shame?

:Homer: Less shame?

:Marge: When I found out about this, I went through a wide range of emotions. First I was anxious, then nervous, then wary, then apprehensive, then kind of sleepy, then worried, and then concerned. But now I realize that being a spaceman is something you have to do.
:Homer: Who's doing what now?
----

----
:Homer: You're right, Marge. Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, "I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later..." And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!
----
:Kent Brockman: Well, this reporter was... possibly a little hasty earlier and would like to... reaffirm his allegiance to this country and its human president. It may not be perfect, but it's still the best government we have. For now. [notices "HAIL ANTS" sign taped up, tears it down] Oh, yes, by the way, the spacecraft still in extreme danger, may not make it back, attempting risky reentry, blah blah blah blah blah blah. We'll see you after the movie.
