Grampa - Phone Happy Yeah! He was the same one who came by to do my estate planning, too. Very nice man. Useful!

Homer - Phone Did you hear that?
Grampa - Phone Annoyed No, but I understood it even less!
Homer - Phone Annoyed You let Mr. Burns give you a toxic waste dump and now it's our problem!
Grampa - Phone Annoyed Not so fast! There's one catch.
Homer - Phone Ooh A catch? Oh, goody goody! What is it?
Grampa - Phone Annoyed The lawyer fella said that land ain't legally ours until we set foot on it.
Homer - Phone Horrified ...
Grampa - Phone Annoyed So as long as you aren't stupid enough to go up there and hoof around, we're totally fine.

Bart So better throw in a tetanus shot too.

Walther Hotenhoffer - Happy My scientists would love to do precisely that!
Homer - Confused Uh, Dr. Hibbert? How is all this nerd crap going to help us ditch our crappy property?
