10:50

13:19

Gil Gunderson: Just 'cause you're here shouldn't make you sad. This is my seventeenth Christmas alone in a movie theater. This is my family. The guy with the smelly pants, the lady that carries empty cans in a PBS tote bag...

14:16

Ned Flanders: (CHOKED-UP) Ah, just snowflakes on my mustache.

14:18

Homer Simpson: Listen. Could I buy a left-handed uh... I don't know, eyelash curler?

14:23

Ned Flanders: Sure... but your eyelashes are long and luxurious already. Are you just buying this to be nice?

14:27

Homer Simpson: Um. Maybe.

14:31

Ned Flanders: Oh, Homer! Unto us this day, a neighbor is born! But why?
