Bart: Unbelievable. Milhouse is friends with Jimbo now? Every time I try to make him uncool, he ends up even cooler.
Database: Excuse me, Superfriend, if you’re done monologuing, it’s your turn to roll the dodecahedron.
Bart: *sigh* Okay here goes.
Database: Gack! That’s the icosahedron! Bart, get your head in the game!
Bart: Look, the only reason I agreed to play Dungheaps and Doofuses with you guys is because you’re the only ones left who can’t get into Milhouse's dumb birthday parties.

The Van Houten Curse Pt. 4
Auto starts
Lisa: Milhouse, I think we should stop hanging out.
Milhouse: Why? Was it Nana?
Lisa: No, I liked Nana. She had very strong pinching fingers. Much stronger than your other grandma’s.
Lisa: It’s just that I realized that, just because other people think you’re cool, doesn’t mean I have to.
Milhouse: I learned a lesson, too. That it isn’t important what others think of me. Just what you think of me.

Nana Sophie Mussolini: No! Cry! Cry like a bambino! Get used to it. This is the Van Houten Curse.
Milhouse: What is?
Nana Sophie Mussolini: All Van Houtens have a short time when they become popular. How do you think your Papa won over my Luann?

Nana Sophie Mussolini: NEVER.

The Van Houten Curse Pt. 5
Auto starts
Janey: Did you guys see Milhouse crying earlier?
Sherri and Terri: Yeah, Lisa broke up with him.
Janey: So, does that make Lisa even more popular now?
Sherri and Terri: Maybe if Milhouse was still cool. But since he cried like a baby, he definitely isn’t cool anymore.
Sherri and Terri: So, by the transitive properties of coolness, Lisa's just Lisa again.
Janey: I don’t think I follow…
Sherri and Terri: Me neither. Let’s just say they’re both uncool now. C’mon, let’s go jump rope!
Milhouse: Hey Bart, let’s go to my house. There may be some Squishee syrup left over from the last of my parties.
