Quotes 

• Homer : Is this episode going on the air live ?

  June Bellamy : No Homer, very few cartoons are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist.

• June Bellamy : Relax, Homer. You'll do fine. I'm June Bellamy. I do the voices of Itchy & Scratchy.

  Homer : You? But you're a lady.

  June Bellamy : [as Itchy]  She's a lady, all right.

  June Bellamy : [as Scratchy]  A beautiful lady.

  Homer : [laughs]  Hey, that really is you. How did you get to be so good?

  June Bellamy : Oh, just experience, I suppose. I started out as Road Runner.

  June Bellamy : [as Road Runner]  Meep!

  Homer : You mean "Meep, meep"?

  June Bellamy : No, they only paid me to say it once, then they doubled it on the soundtrack. Cheap bastards.

  Roger Myers Jr. : You folks ready to begin?

  Homer : Uh, I guess. Is this episode going on the air live?

  June Bellamy : No, Homer. Very few cartoons are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists.

• Doug : [wearing a T-shirt that says "Genius at Work"]  Hi. A question for Miss Bellamy. In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

  June Bellamy : Uh, well...

  Homer : I'll field this one.

  Homer : [to Doug]  Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?

  [pause] 

  Doug : I withdraw my question.

  [takes a bite from a bar of chocolate] 

  Database : Uh, excuse me, Mr Simpson. On the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?

  Homer : What the hell are you talking about?

  June Bellamy : You're a lifesaver, Homer. I can't deal with these hard-core fans.

  Comic Book Guy : [clears throat]  Your attention, please.

  Man : [everyone is still paying attention to June Bellamy & Homer]  Uh, in episode...

  Comic Book Guy : [interrupting]  EH, YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE! Mr Simpson will now be autographing 8-by-10 glossies of Poochie. ONE per customer. Please form a line. There will be no cutting.

  [points to someone off-screen] 

  Comic Book Guy : I'm talking to you, Mr Cutter.
