Bart: Sorry I froze you out Lis, I, I just didn't want the guys to
think I'd gone soft on the girl issue.
Lisa: [sighs] I'm tired of being an issue, Bart. Maybe everyone
would be better off if I just quit.
Bart: But if you quit, it'd be like an expert knot tier quitting a
knot-tying contest right in the middle of tying a knot.
Lisa: Why'd you say that?
Bart: I dunno, I was just looking at my shoelaces. But the point
is, you're going to make it Lis, and I'm going to stick by
you.
Lisa: Don't do that. Why should we both be outcasts?
Bart: Then I'll just stick by you in secret. Like a sock maker
secretly working on a top secret sock that ...
Lisa: [interrupts] Will you stop looking at your feet?
