Quotes9

  • Lisa: Excuse me, Paul Bunyan never fought Rodan. And his size seems to be really inconsistent. I mean, one minute, he's ten feet tall, the next, his feet are as big as a lake.
  • Hobo: Hey, hey, hey! Who's the hobo here?
  • Lisa: I'm just sayin'.
  • Hobo: [the Simpsons meet a hobo in a boxcar] Don't worry! I'm not a stabbin' hobo; I'm a singin' hobo!
  • [Strums banjo and sings]
  • Hobo: Nothin' beats the hobo life / Stabbin' folks with my ho-bo-knife!
  • Bart Simpson: [the hobo finishes his Paul Bunyan story] Boy, that story had everything. A giant, house crushing, a meteor...
  • Marge Simpson: Townspeople.
  • Lisa: Got any more tall tales?
  • Hobo: Well, I suppose I could spin ya a few more yarns. But first, who wants to give me a sponge bath? I'm filthy.
  • Homer: [the family exchange looks with each other] All right. But your next story better be worth it.
  • Hobo: [lifting his leg] Get in there good. Yeah, that's it. Don't be shy. There you go.
  • Principal Skinner: [managing to knock Paul Bunyan out] Good Lord! Brought down by one beer?
  • Moe Szyslak: [holding an oversized tranquilizer pill] And a couple of these babies. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the barn dance.
  • Hobo: [singing] Now, Paul and Babe were a mighty fine match/But the man had an itch that an ox couldn't scratch.
  • Paul Bunyan: Huh?
  • [gasping as he sees Marge]
  • Paul Bunyan: She's pretty.
  • Marge Simpson: Oh. What a handsome man.
  • [they run towards each other; realizing his size, she screams and runs the other way]
  • Paul Bunyan: [catching her] Got ya! Don't worry. I won't smush you. You're cute.
  • Marge Simpson: Oh, thank you.
  • [humming, he sticks her beehive hairdo into his ear like a Q-tip]
  • Marge Simpson: Hey, what are you doing?
  • Paul Bunyan: I just wanna spruce up for our date.
  • Frink: Hey, that meteor's headed straight for us with the fire and the impact and the 100% chance of pain! Pain in the glayvin!
  • Reverend Lovejoy: God has sent this fiery kill rock to show us his love.
  • Mayor Quimby: [clamoring from the townsfolk] There's only one man who can save us.
  • Paul Bunyan: [transition to his house] Oh, I get it. When I'm crushing and killing you, you don't like me. But when I can save your life, suddenly I'm Mr. Popular.
  • Lenny: Yeah. That's pretty much it.
  • Paul Bunyan: Whoo-hoo! I'm Mr. Popular!
  • [giggling, he dances a jig]
  • Hobo: [his musical intro to the story of Paul Bunyan] Won't you listen to my tale that's ten stories tall/'Bout a king-sized woodsman named-a Bunyan, comma, Paul/Born mighty big, he continued to expand/Thanks to a hopped-up pituitary gland/His body grew big, but his brain stayed small/He was tree-choppin', friend-stompin', house-crushin' Paul.
  • Hobo: [narrating his Connie Appleseed story] With the buffalo gone, the starving settlers were driven to cannibalism.
  • Chief Wiggum: [drawing wishbones] You're the fattest, Bufflekill. Okay, everybody, dig in!
  • [Homer shrieks as they all advance on him]
  • Connie Appleseed: Stop! I've got apples! Delicious, nutritious apples. And there's enough for everyone.
  • Additional Voices: [Sideshow Mel, taking a bite] Sweet!
  • [taking another bite]
  • Additional Voices: It's like a hootenanny in my mouth!
  • Principal Skinner: We're saved!
  • Ned Flanders: It's a miracle!
  • Carl: Hurray for Connie Bufflekill!
  • Moe Szyslak: [sticking his head out from under Homer's coat] What? So now we're not eating Homer?
  • Moe Szyslak: All right, look, we gotta do something about Bunyan. We're going bankrupt just feedin' and clothing the guy, not to mention the crushings.
  • Carl: [murmurs of agreement] Hey, I say we get him drunk and drag him out of town. Same way we got rid of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
