    The best Simpsons character and episode ever? Quite definately so, with such hilariously memorable lines as:


    Homer: (in his new role as supervisor) Um, are you guys working?
    Employee: Yes, sir.
    Homer: Can you . . . work any harder?
    Employee: Sure thing, boss!


    Scorpio: Hey, before we continue our tour, would you mind hanging my coat up on the wall please?
    Homer: Mmmhmm. Umuhh now let’s see now. Uuummm.
    Scorpio: Ahaha. Relax, Homer, at Globex we don’t believe in walls. In fact, I didn't even give you my coat


    P.A.: T minus 14 seconds.
    Hank: If you need anything, you call me.
    Homer: All right. What's the number?
    Hank: I've never had to call my own company. Someone will tell you upstairs. But, Homer, on your way out, if you wanna kill somebody, it would help a lot.


    Hank: Don't call me that word. I don't like things that elevate me above the other people. I'm just like you. Oh sure, I come in later in the day, I get paid a lot more, and I take longer vacations, but I don't like the word "boss."


    Hank Scorpio: You will notice, my new best friend, that we are pretty casual around here.
    Homer: Yes, sir. I will notice that. Very casual, Mr. Scorpion.
    Hank: Don't call me that. It's Mr. Scorpio, but don't call me that either. Call me Hank!

    You know this'd go great in a 'Television' forum somewhere...

    .. not the one here on Boards mind you.

    Sorry, I din't realise there was television forum, I only saw it afterwards. I was loooking for a Simpsons one and didn't see the more television one. You get the picture

    Definately the best episode ever!

    "Maybe the bridge fell down by itself"
    "We can't take that chance"
    "You always say that! I want to take the chance!"

    After Homer tackles the James Bond character - "Great job Homer! When you go home tonight there will be a extra story on your house!"

    Not to mention the kids in Bart's special class, pure genius!

    "I'm sorry to see you go. But if you could kill somebody on the way out, it'd be a big help..."

    “I tackled a loafer at work today.”

    Best episode ever.

    Prime Time Cartoons.

    "Hammock District" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    He is truely great, in a Homer way, but to bring him back with their current writers would be such a waste.

    Love the Scorpio theme song at the end. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭tech77


    Yeah definitely one of my favourite characters and episodes.

    More gems:

    Marge: Mr. Scorpio, this house is almost too good for us. I keep expecting to get the bum's rush.
    Hank: We don't have bums in our town, Marge, and if we did they wouldn't rush. They'd be allowed to go at their own pace.

    Scorpio: You like those moccasins? Look in your closet, there's a pair for you. Don't like 'em? Then neither do I! [Throws moccasins out door] Get the hell out of here! Ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe?
    Homer: [Chuckles] Yes, once

    Homer: Uh...you have any sugar around here?
    Hank: Sugar? Sure. [fumbles in his pockets, takes out a few handfuls of sugar] There you go. Sorry it's not in packages. Want some cream?
    Homer: Uh...I...no.

    Scorpio: There's the Hammock Hut. That's on Third. There's Hammocks 'R' Us. That's on Third, too. You got Put Your Butt There. That's on Third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Matter of fact they're all in the same complex. It's the Hammock Complex, down on Third.
    Homer: Oh, the Hammock District?

    Sublime.

    *bond escapes*
    Scorpio: Stop him hes supposed to die
    *Home tackes*
    Scorpio: Nice work Homer, When you go home theres going to be another story on your house.

    Hah, the guy who voiced him was named Albert Einstein at birth, before he changed it to Brooks for a screen name. The man's a legend.

    I think this episode was called "You only move twice".
    Class episode, especially the bit where Homer causes the demise
    of "Mr. Bont"...
