Or in Spanish:
The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy to be a man. Let’s see. Don’t tattle. Always make fun of those different from you.

Marge: We don’t think you’re slow. But on the other hand, it’s not like you go to museums or read books or anything.
Homer: Do you think I don’t want to? It’s those TV networks Marge. They won’t let me. One quality show after another, each one more brilliant than the last. If they only stumbled once – just gave us thirty minutes to ourselves. But they won’t, they won’t let me live.
What is a wedding? Webster’s Dictionary defines a wedding as “The process of removing weeds from one’s garden.”
Marge, don’t discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals … except the weasel.
