Marge: Let's see -- we've formed the hamburger patties, buttered the buns, made the potato salad, mixed the dip, baked the beans, shucked the corn, washed our hands, and by special request-- -- prepared a nutritious alternative for those who prefer a vegetarian diet.

Lisa: Thanks, Mom.

Marge: Homer, will you light the barbecue, please?

Homer: Oh, I have to do everything!

Patty Bouvier: I just hope this cookout doesn't turn out like last year's. Remember how he ran out of charcoal starter? All the stores were sold out, of course.

Selma Bouvier: So he used gasoline.

Patty: And we held the picnic in the burn ward.

Homer: Yeah, well this year I've got plenty of charcoal starter! Some of us are capable of learning from our mistakes, you know!

Homer: Er, need anything from the store, Marge, sweetie? Pork rinds? Pickles? Beer?

Marge: No, we have plenty of everything, Homey, but thank you for asking.

Homer: Hmm. Better get some more mustard. Back in a flash.

Patty: If we're lucky, he won't come back.

Homer: Come on, kids. The Flanders are gone for the weekend. We'll use their fancy-schmancy gas grill. That's the way, boy. Don't be stingy with the starter fluid.

Bart: Your wish is my command, mem-sahib.

Lisa: Actually, dad, I don't think you use starter fluid--!

Homer: Daddy knows what he's doing, Lisa.

Homer: [thinking] Heh-heh. Children are so cute when they worry needlessly.

Lisa: What worries me is, this has all the earmarks of becoming a family tradition.
