Here's a long string of great moments:
Skinner: [ominous] Destroy that balloon.
Willy: Aye. [***** a shotgun, shoots into the sky]
[two fighter planes fly overhead]
Pilot 1: Tango 14, we're being fired at. I'm getting an exact ID on the
bogey now.
[screen shows a silhouette of Willy and "Identify"]
[screen flashes "Iraqi fighter jet"]
Pilot 1: Iraqis again. Launching sidewinder missile.
[missile destroys the other plane]
Missed him. Launching second sidewinder missile.
[missile destroys his own plane]
Pilot 1: [parachuting] This is what happens when you cut money out of
the military and put it into health care!
Pilot 2: [parachuting] It's a good program! Just give it a chance,
that's all I ask.
[their parachutes fail; they crash to the ground]
[they start fist fighting]
Also, any time they bring up Skinner's Vietnam past is always hilarious.
My favorites include:
Skinner: *Straightens tie* Copyright expired.
Skinner: Johnny!... JOHNNY!
Bart: Cool, I broke his brain.
I also miss when they used to flirt with the idea of him being crazy. The Psycho moment with the sailor suit was great, and my personal favorite:
Bart: Who names these things [the constellations] anyway?
Skinner: Whoever discovers them. I've been hoping I could find
something that would be named after me.
Bart: And you've never found anything?
Skinner: Once...but by the time I got to the phone, my discovery had
already been reported by Principal Kahoutek...[a cloud covers
the moon; scary music plays]
I got back at him, though...him and that little _boy_ of his.
[the music ends]
Anyway, that's why I always keep a cellular phone next to me.
It's just nice to see cracks in someone who's so straitlaced. Shame they don't do that anymore.
