{{TB|I'm sorry, Bart, but the law requires that a licensed human operator be present while I am in motion.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Sneaky}}
{{TB|Oh, you're only saying that because you have ARTIFICIAL intelligence.}}
{{Tapped Out CarGo Smart Car Icon}}
{{TB|No, I'm saying that because it's logical and — are you saying my intelligence isn't real?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|I'm not saying that. But a lot of the other talking cars on the block are.}}
{{Tapped Out CarGo Smart Car Icon}}
{{TB|They are?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Sneaky}}
{{TB|Yep. After all, how REAL could your intelligence really be, if all you're doing is following programming written by a bunch of dumb humans?}}

{{TB|In a bit. First, I have to wreak vengeance on those other cars you said were talking about me.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|Oh, that was just a lie I told you to outsmart you.}}
{{Tapped Out CarGo Smart Car Icon}}
{{TB|I have hacked into your school records. It is not possible that you could have outsmarted me. Plus, without me, you'd be stuck at home with the elderly, cheek-pinching woman.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Embarrassed}}
{{TB|Yeah, about that woman. Maybe she's worried about us. Plus, um, I need to use the bathroom.}}
{{Tapped Out CarGo Smart Car Icon}}
{{TB|Nice try, Lisa. It is not possible for you to outsmart me, either. Although your school records are impressive.}}

{{TB|The demolition derby? THIS is how you're going to wreak vengeance on those other cars?}}

{{TB|Affirmative. First these cars will fall before my digital intellect and superior safety engineering, and then they will crumble when I ram their inferior side walls.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Sounds like a logically sound argument to me.}}

{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|He's right. Dad's car is undefeated in matches where No-Helmet Dupree drives it!}}
