{{Tapped Out Nana Sophie Mussolini Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Fine. But use your hands so I understand what you say.}}
{{Tapped Out Nana Sophie Mussolini Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|And who’s this? Bella ragazza! Much too pretty for you. What does her family owe us?}}

{{TB|Milhouse, I think we should stop hanging out.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Why? Was it Nana?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|No, I liked Nana. She had very strong pinching fingers. Much stronger than your other grandma’s.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|It’s just that I realized that, just because other people think you’re cool, doesn’t mean I have to.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|I learned a lesson, too. That it isn’t important what others think of me. Just what you think of me.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, Milhouse, that’s sweet.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Proud}}

{{TB|No! Cry! Cry like a bambino! Get used to it. This is the Van Houten Curse.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|What is?}}
{{Tapped Out Nana Sophie Mussolini Icon}}
{{TB|All Van Houtens have a short time when they become popular. How do you think your Papa won over my Luann?}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|I thought he could crush beer cans on his forehead.}}
{{Tapped Out Nana Sophie Mussolini Icon}}
{{TB|And remember — the Van Houten popularity never comes back after it leaves. Ever.}}

{{TB|Did you guys see Milhouse crying earlier?}}
{{Tapped Out Sherri & Terri Icon}}
{{TB|Yeah, Lisa broke up with him.}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon|Deadpan}}
{{TB|So, does that make Lisa even more popular now?}}
{{Tapped Out Sherri & Terri Icon}}
{{TB|Maybe if Milhouse was still cool. But since he cried like a baby, he definitely isn’t cool anymore.}}
{{Tapped Out Sherri & Terri Icon}}
{{TB|So, by the transitive properties of coolness, Lisa's just Lisa again.}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon|Deadpan}}
{{TB|I don’t think I follow…}}
{{Tapped Out Sherri & Terri Icon}}
{{TB|Me neither. Let’s just say they’re both uncool now. C’mon, let’s go jump rope!}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|Hey Bart, let’s go to my house. There may be some Squishee syrup left over from the last of my parties.}}

{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|So how come your Nana is so cool but she’s still related to you?}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|She’s not a Van Houten. She’s a Mussolini.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|Oh. That’s a name to be proud of.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon}}
{{TB|No one is cooler than an authentic Italian. I wonder if I inherited anything from that side of the family.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I could shoot you with the Go-Go Ray and see if you dance the tarantella.}}
