Dialogue[]

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 1[]

Character Dialogue
Ned Icon "Homer, I was thinking my boys might benefit from having a woman in the house."
Homer Icon "I get it -- you want my advice on how to meet women."
"Well, "Christian Couples" is a great dating site for people like you. "PlentyofJesusFish" is also good."
"Or if you're feeling frisky, there's "Chritian Swingers." Though I imagine you'll meet some very conflicted people."
Ned Icon "No, no, I'm looking for a nanny!"
"Someone like Shary Bobbins, who came into your life so magically, discovered what horrible people you are, then got sucked into a jet engine."
Homer Icon "Oh yeah -- happy memories. But hey, if Shary Bobbins is who you want, Shary Bobbins is who you'll get!"
Ned Icon "But Homer... she's dead."
Homer Icon "Stupid Flanders, Shary Bobbins is magic! She WAS dead, but now she's alive... because of magic."
Ned Icon "You don't mean... BLACK magic?"
Homer Icon "No! Let's call it... "grey" magic..."
"Well, actually really, really dark grey. Like Payne's Grey. So dark it kinda looks black. But of course it's not. Only it is."

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 2[]

Character Dialogue
Shary Bobbins Icon "I've never seen such well-behaved childern! Your rooms are spotless, your homework is done, and you've completed every task set before you."
Rod Icon "Oh no, we've run out of chores! It's a kid's worst nightmare!"
Todd Icon "Bedtime isn't until 5:30. However shall we ever fill the time?"
Shary Bobbins Icon "Now, now, children. If you search a little harder, you can always find some meaningless task to fill the time..."
Rod Icon "I feel a song coming on..."
Shary Bobbins Icon "BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! POINTLESS TASKS FOR IDLE JERKS! NOTHING THAT NEEDS DOING, NOTHING REALLY WORTH PURSUING!"
"BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! ANYTHING THAT LEAVES YOU IRKED! SORTING'S ALWAYS BRUTAL, EVEN MORE SO WHEN IT'S FUTILE!"

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 3[]

Character Dialogue
Rod and Todd Cheering Icon "Wow, Shary Bobbins! We just spent hours accomplishing nothing!"
Shary Bobbins Icon "You see, children? I knew you could do it!"
"Now, imagine how much more fun it would be if, instead of just wasting time, you actually accomplished something?"
"And what if the thing you accomplished was something very, very naughty? Wouldn't that be even MORE fun?"
Rod Sad Icon "You're scaring me, British lady."
Shary Bobbins Icon "NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! TRY THEM AND YOU'LL GIVE ME THANKS! KIDS BEHAVING BADLY NEVER PASS THE EVENING SADLY!"
"NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! SOON YOU WILL BE ROBBING BANKS! LET'S GET INTO TROUBLE, AND LET'S DO IT ON THE DOUBLE!"

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 4[]

Character Dialogue
Todd Icon "Daddy, Shary Bobbins is making us do bad things!"
Ned Icon "Miss Bobbins, far be it from an American to criticize anyone with a British accent..."
"...but why are you corrupting my little angels?"
Shary Bobbins Icon "Goodness me! Most people who use the Dark Arts to summon their nannies from beyond the grave EXPECT this kind of thing!"
Ned Angry Icon "Yes, well, it didn't say anything about "demonic tendencies" in your references."
Shary Bobbins Icon "I've been meaning to update those."

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 5[]

Character Dialogue
Ned Icon "Miss Bobbins, I'm afraid this just isn't working out."
Shary Bobbins Icon "Are you firing me?"
Ned Icon "Firing" is such an ugly word. Let's call it "encouraging your relocation by bringing in an exorcist and dousing the entire house in holy water."
Shary Bobbins Icon "I suppose it's for the best. I've never met such perfect angels as your boys. It makes me sick."
"If only Homer Simpson would take me back. That son of his shows real promise, evil-wise."
"Ah, well. Goodbye, children!"
