Dialogue[]

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 1[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Icon "The Fourth of July is coming! When Americans celebrate their country by brazenly flaunting their contempt for its anti-fireworks ordinances!"
"And Apu's All-American Kwik-E-Mart and Fireworks Megastore leads the way! I'd better get in costume."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 2[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "My fireworks customers demand the biggest explosions, triggered by the most unpredictable fuses money can buy!"
"If this town doesn't lose at least three fingers every year, I haven't done my job."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 3[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Worried Icon "Stocking this many explosives in such close proximity to cigarette-smoking twelve-year-olds is dangerous."
All-American Apu Icon "I better sell these fireworks fast!"

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 4[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon *yawn* "I can't sleep -- the noise from all these fireworks is keeping me awake."
Lisa Icon "You're the one lighting them! You can stop any time you like!"
Homer Icon "If I stop blowing up M-80s even for a moment, then the Soviet Union wins and our Founding Fathers got their heads chopped of for nothing."
Lisa Icon "Maybe some coffee will wake you up. And help you make some sense."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 5[]

Character Dialogue
Rex Banner Icon "Citizens of Springfield, fear not! No longer will airborne displays of Technicolor splendor haunt your nights!"
Lisa Icon "Federal agent Rex Banner!?"
Rex Banner Icon "Here to stop the flow of illegal fireworks into Springfield and bring the Bottle Rocket Barons to their knees."
Lisa Icon "Well, that'll be nice. They're kind of a nuisance."
Rex Banner Angry Icon "Nuisance? You call sporadic incidents of mild to moderate noise pollution a NUISANCE?"
Rex Banner Icon "It's the greatest threat to the American way of life since loitering! Time to round up the likely suspects."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 6[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "This holiday is proving most profitable!"
Rex Banner Icon "I've traced the fireworks to this Kwik-E-Mart. Time to see what we can see..."
All-American Apu Worried Icon "Great Ganesh! Super-cop Rex Banner is hot on my trail! I'd better hide the evidence."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 7[]

Character Dialogue
Rex Banner Icon "Reach for the sky, Nahasapeemapetilon! I know you're the gunpowder-drunk mastermind of this fireworks racket!"
"Come clean -- you're the one they call the Rocket Rajah. The Bengal Blaster. Pyrotechnic 'Pu."
All-American Apu Icon "I see. Because of my ethnicity and name, you assume this person must be me. That, sir, is profiling!"
Rex Banner Icon "I'm an old-timey cop. Profiling is ninety percent of my skill set."
"And we call it by its proper name: good ol' red-blooded, American racism."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 8[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon "Rex Banner! I've discovered the identity of the fireworks smuggler. It's Ned Flanders! Quick, drag him down to the station and interrogate him for hours!"
Rex Banner Icon "Let's go, boys!"
Homer Icon "And... he's gone. Woo-hoo! Come on, everybody -- the coast is clear! Let's buy some boom!"

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 9[]

Character Dialogue
Rex Banner Angry Icon "Hands where I can see them, Apu! I'm taking you in!"
Lisa Icon "Wait! That man is innocent!"
"I've just found an old town law from 1803 which expressly permits "the sale and detonation of pyrotechnic devices for one month following June 4."
Rex Banner Icon "What's so special about the Fourth of June?"
Lisa Icon "June 4th was King George III of England's birthday."
"Springfield was the only town in the nation that voted 182 times to return to British rule."
"We've always been America's cowards."
Rex Banner Icon "Well, if memory serves, there's one thing this town is still good for."

Paranoid Android[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon "Rex Banner, come quick!"
"Apparently, there's a new counterfeiting operation in town and it's headed by none other than Ned Flanders! Interrogate him at once!"
"Interrogate him for hours and hours!"
Rex Banner Icon "Come on, boys!"

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 10[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "Now that this awful business with the authorities has blown over, it's time to restock!"

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 11[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "I am happy to announce I am open for business once again!"
Homer Icon "Woo-hoo!"
"I haven't blown anything up in a couple of hours, this was starting to feel like a Canada celebration..."

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 12[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "This has been the most profitable Fourth of July ever!"
"Where else but American can an Indian man make money selling Chinese fireworks to patriots?"
"I love this horrible country!"

Rocket's Red Glare Pt. 13[]

Character Dialogue
All-American Apu Icon "What the-? This isn't the shipment of fireworks I ordered!"
Lisa Icon "Oh my! It's the original Liberty Bell - and still intact!"
Professor Frink Icon "It would seem that the bell has been transported through time, I deduce-"
Homer Icon "We don't always need an explanation! And I need to know is that there's a bell and that I'm going to ring it!"
...
"Hey! It broke! Lousy British workmanship. Ah well, might as well put this somewhere."
