- Quotes
Homer: Shut up! Shut up! Stop it! Stop it. I can't take this anymore. I can't let that brave man out there die alone. I'm surprised and disgusted by all of you - especially his children. I'm going out there!
[goes out, slams door behind him, then pops his head back in]
Homer: It was a baby ox.
Moe: He's right, you know.
Principal Skinner: [surprised] About the ox?
Moe: About everything, dammit! Hey Homer, wait up. I want to die too.
Apu: If you are going, I am going.
Barney Gumble: Me too!
[everyone assents and leaves]

Featured review
One of the Greatest Episodes of the Golden Era
After rewatching this episode two days ago, I began to recognise this as one of the greatest Simpsons episodes ever written---not just in regards to the "Golden Era" as stated above, but rather the entire series.
This episode crams a lot of material in its 22-minute timeframe, and John Swartzwelder actually succeeded in making it work (at least, in my POV).
The comedic timing is on-point, the story follows a brisk pace, a sense of urgency looms throughout the third act, and the final scene offers a wealth of emotion and poignancy as the townspeople join hands in union and prepare for the end of Springfield.
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the highlights of Season 6, and it clearly shows amid first glance at its synopsis. A definite must-watch for Simpsons fans and newcomers alike.
