Quotes 

• [Homer tries to call Animal Control] 

  Phone Lady : [special information tone]  Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please make sure you have the correct area code.

  Homer Simpson : Area code? But it's a local call.

  Marge Simpson : The phone company ran out of numbers, so they split the city into two area codes. Half the town keeps the old 636 area code, and our half gets 939.

  Homer Simpson : 939? What the hell is that? Oh, my life is ruined!

  Marge Simpson : Jeez, you just have to remember three extra numbers.

  Homer Simpson : Oh, if only it where that easy, Marge.

  [the badger growls from the kitchen window] 

  Homer Simpson : Go away! We got bigger problems now!

• Bart : [at the nuclear power plant]  Dad, I don't think this is such a good idea.

  Homer : Thank you, Marge. Now, let's see how Olde Snubfield does without electricity.

  [watching the power in Olde Springfield go out] 

  Homer : Whoo hoo!

  Nurse : [at Springfield Hospital]  Oh, no. You can't do heart surgery in the dark.

  Dr. Hibbert : Sounds like a wager to me.

  Krusty : [the patient]  I'll take a piece of that.

• Homer : Now, I'm not one to make trouble, but it seems to me that everyone who got to keep the old, or "classic", 636 area code, lives on...

  [accusingly] 

  Homer : ...the rich side of town!

  Mr. Burns : Ooh, poppycock.

  Mrs. Vanderbilt : [insulted]  I never!

  [her companion's monocle falls into his martini] 

  Homer : And, as usual, we Joe 12-packs get the royal screw job.

• Jimbo Jones : [Bart and Milhouse play frisbee in the park]  Hey, look what I found, a novelty flying disc.

  Bart : Give it back. That's my novelty flying disc.

  Jimbo Jones : You're in Olde Springfield now. Everything on this side of the park belongs to us.

  Kearney : Hey, his pants are in our park, too.

  Dolph : Get him!

  [Kearney tackles Bart, and they steal his shorts] 

  Bart : [getting an idea]  My homework is in your park.

  Kearney : Let's do it!

  [taking the books from Bart's backpack] 

  Kearney : Yoink!

  Dolph : [a few minutes later, flipping through a book]  What does freedom mean to me?

• Lindsey Naegle : [at a town hall meeting]  I know that some of you are upset about the area code change, especially those of you covered with dynamite.

  [from his seat, Homer nods] 

  Lindsey Naegle : First, let me reassure you your fears are groundless and your complaints, moronic.

  Moe : [murmuring from the townsfolk]  That's good.

  Lindsey Naegle : [a screen lowers]  This film will explain everything to you in words that you can understand.
