"This is interesting: some sort of… stone. Its edges are straight as if it had been… cut." "And there's something etched onto the surface. I've seen this symbol before, but where?"
"Lisa? You know you're talking to yourself, right?"
"Yes, I'm figuring out a mystery!"
"OOh, that's fine then. The doctor says as long as you KNOW there's no one there, you're still considered normal."
"I need to find out more about this symbol. This calls for a trip to the library." "And while I'm there, I'll see if they got that new translation of War and Peace. I mean, a girl's got to have some fun!"
"Strange. This symbol pops up at turning points in American History." "Here it is at a pilgrim settlement." "Here it is at the Battle Of Gettysburg." "Here it is when that Real Housewife, Nene, got cast on an actual TV show and--" *gasp* "Dad?! What are you doing in the library?!"
"Uh... I'm certainly not reading this giant book about witchcraft and Masonic Lodges!" "I'll just put this back on the bottom shelf…"
"Dad! When you bend over, your pants slide down and the whole library can see your butt cr--" "OH MY GOD!" "Your birthmark! It's the symbol!"
"I call it my Stonecutter mark."
"The Stonecutters! Of course! Now I just have to figure out--" "Dad, please! Pull your pants up and your shirt down."
"Good, we've photographed all their secret files. Let's get out of here."
"Right after I finish this sandwich…"
"No! That's just stealing! We're not going to—Ooh, is that Portobello mushrooms and hummus?" "Well, seeing as how we've already broken and entered… Gimme that!"
"I'll show Lisa she can't take all the credit just ‘cause she did all the work." "Hey, Number 1! I'm the son of a Stonecutter. Doesn't that automatically make me a Stonecutter, too?"
"Listen, little boy, the rules have become somewhat fluid since the dawning of the magic purple crayon." "And soon, I alone will decide who is “automatically” anything."
"Not after my sister tells the town about your stupid law-changing plan!"
"She knows about that?" "Find out what else your sister knows. After all, you are automatically one of us, right, Lil Stonecutter?"
"Number 1, Lisa is planning a big rally! She's made a bunch of Anti-Stonecutters signs!"
"Pfft. A semi-satanic lodge with absolute power can't be taken down by hand-drawn signs!"
"They're not hand-drawn. She printed them on her computer and glued them to really sturdy cardboard."
"Oh. Okay, those you're going to have to destroy. They sound like they would really “pop.”"
"I don't know. That seems kind of mean."
"Come now, Bart, have you any idea the benefits of powerful friends?" "You could trade in Milhouse for a sidekick who is every bit as subservient but less asthmatic and not afraid of birds."
"Bart! What are you doing? Why are you throwing paint-filled water-balloons at my signs?"
"I didn't enjoy doing this, Lisa…" "Well, the ones I threw from the roof did look pretty cool when they exploded." "But I had to betray you in order to achieve a higher goal..." "Betraying Milhouse."
"What?! But then all our plans have been thwarted!!!!" "We have underestimated the political influence of child-sized pirates and the bearded women who wipe their faces."
"We managed to keep those power-hungry wolves at bay." "But how can we remain vigilant when we're constantly distracted by texts, celebrity nip slips and electronic candy?"
