Julie Kavner: Marge Simpson

Quotes 

• Marge : Lisa, do you know how much it costs to keep a pony?

  Lisa Simpson : No.

  Marge : Well, it's a lot. In fact, your father had to take a second job.

  Bart : The poor guy! Where's he working?

  Marge : The Kwik-E-Mart.

  [Bart bursts out laughing] 

• Marge : Lisa, I hope you realize that your father can't keep this up.

  Lisa Simpson : You're going to make me give up Princess?

  Marge : Lisa, we can't make you do anything.

  Bart : I can make her! Just give me five minutes alone with her...

  Marge : No, Bart! No one's going to make her. This is something Lisa has to decide for herself.

  Lisa Simpson : All those years I've lobbied to be treated as an adult have blown up in my face.

• Marge : We can't afford to buy a pony.

  Homer : Marge, with today's gasoline prices, we can't afford not to buy a pony.

• Marge Simpson : [looking at expenses]  Ohhh dear, we're in serious trouble here. We're just gonna have to cut down on luxuries.

  Homer : Well, you know, we're always buying Maggie vaccinations for diseases she doesn't even have.

  Marge Simpson : Actually, I was thinking we could cut down on your beer.

  Homer : Nah, we're not gonna be doing that.

• [Homer bought Lisa a pony after Marge told him not to] 

  Marge : I am very upset with you.

  Homer : Sounds like someone's angling for a pony of her own.

• Homer : Marge, Lisa loves me. The pony stays.

  Marge : Alright. You got us into this, you get us out.

  Homer : Fine, I will. There's plenty of money out there for a guy who's willing to work for it.

  [guzzles beer] 

  Homer : Do you have any jewelry you don't need any more?

  Marge : [groans angrily]  Hmmmmm.
