Professor Frink I can answer that, m'hoyvin.
Professor Frink It seems those hot dogs — which I now call "Frink Franks" — have the precise chemical formula that makes them the perfect power rods for my Snow-Un-Faller 3000, myes.
Wiggum - Confused They...your...what?

After completing Pt. 2
Mr. Costington Ms. Naegle, what are our plans to improve sales at Costington's this holiday season?

Lindsey Naegle Have you considered a slogan?
Mr. Costington We have one. "Over A Century Without a Slogan." That's our slogan.

Mr. Costington This is unacceptable. Without holiday season sales, Costington's is doomed. It will take a Christmas miracle. And I don't believe in miracles.
Lindsey Naegle - On Phone Yes...yes, I'll tell him.
Mr. Costington What was that?
Lindsey Naegle I just got a call from an investor who says he's interested in keeping Costington's open through the holidays.
Mr. Costington What's the catch?
Lindsey Naegle You'll have to sell the business to him.
Mr. Costington - Grim I knew it. There's no such thing as a Christmas miracle. What are his terms?

Lindsey Naegle Good. The only thing left to work out is how big a fee I receive for closing the deal.
Mr. Costington What amount would have the least impact on Costington's bottom line?
Lindsey Naegle - Annoyed Well, the least impact would be if I took no fee at all.
