Quotes
-
Bart : [learning to read, so going very slow] in... the... days... of... the... pioneers... the ma, ma, Mississippi, was... trav... eled... on by many steam, steam, steambaths!
Leo Kohlmeyer : Steamboats for crying out loud!
Bart : Oh yeah, steamboats! Thanks! Wait, who said that?
[looks around, then back to the cat]
Bart : . Mr. Leo?
Leo Kohlmeyer : Yes, yes. In the days of the pioneers the Mississippi was traveled on by many steamBOATS!
Bart : You can read!
Leo Kohlmeyer : Of course I can read! And you could too, if you would only pay attention and learn to concentrate better!
Bart : You can talk, but ah...!
Leo Kohlmeyer : [interrupts] That's right! And I can see, and hear, and taste, and touch. Just like you! Correct that, better than you! Now bring that book over to the table before you drive me bananas!
Bart : [Bart picks up the book and follows Leo]
Leo Kohlmeyer : Now, sit down. We're going to go over a few simple, easy steps that will help you. Number 1. Put the book on the table, and sit facing it.
Bart : [Bart is wriggling in his chair trying to get comfortable]
Leo Kohlmeyer : Hey. Number 2. Stop wriggling around.
[Bart sits still]
Leo Kohlmeyer : . Number 3. Start off with a few words, read them slowly and sound them out, then move on.
Bart : But that's so slow!
Leo Kohlmeyer : Trust me, kid. If you practice, it will get faster. And Number 4. If you're stumped, ask for help. You must have known steambaths was the wrong word.
Bart : Yeah, but sometimes these books are so weird, you can't even tell!
Leo Kohlmeyer : Ask anyway.
Bart : OK, should I start over?
Leo Kohlmeyer : Yes. But later. Right now, you and I need to discuss something that we need to fix, right away!
[Leo jumps off the table]

Leo Kohlmeyer : Oh, boy! At last! Suppertime. What'd you bring me? Shrimp scampi? Chicken cacciatore?
Bart : Not exactly. I couldn't find anything on your list, so I brought you this.
[opens his backpack and takes out a bag of fast food]
Bart : Cheeseburger and some French fries!
Leo Kohlmeyer : Oh. How, uh... unassuming.
-
Leo Kohlmeyer : [giving Bart a list of acceptable meals] So, have you got all of it?
Bart : I think so.
[reading]
Bart : French champagne. Dover fillet... of sole. Veal corduroy.
Leo Kohlmeyer : Cordon bleu. Cordon bleu. Please, no mistakes. You'll have me eating somebody's pants legs.
