Springfield's answer to Erin Brockovich
Ahoy, mateys. Had your fill of tacos?
Would you sooner eat a bilge rat than
another burger? Then come for all you
can eat seafood at The Frying Dutchman.
>> [groaning]
>> Is it more iced tea you'll BE NEEDING?
>> OKAY.
>> [laughter]
>> SET SAIL FOR THE FRYING DUTCHMAN.
>> AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN. MARGE, we're going to
that restaurant.
>> But I think I'm allergic to seafood. The
last time I ate shrimp, my throat closed
up and I went into convulsions.
>> Shrimp.
>> Sorry, Lisa. I no longer control the
hand.
The hand controls ME.
>> DAD!
>> [screaming]
>> GET UP, YOU LITTLE MONSTERS. HELLO, I
WAS wondering if you'd like to babysit
my little angels.
>> Sorry, this isn't Abby. This is her
sister. I look after her now.
No, Bart. Put it down. Put it down,
Bart. Bart, put it down.
>> Oh, no all you can eat seafood. I wore
my extra loose pants for nothing.
Nothing!
>> I'm sorry, ma'am, but everything on the
menu has fish in it.
>> What about the bread? Does that have
much fish in it?
>> Yes.
>> Oh, I have some Tic Tacs in my purse.
>> Excellent choice. And for the gentleman?
>> All you can eat. All you can eat.
>> All right, when you're ready, take this
plate over
>> Please, don't take the steam tray, sir.
That man ate all our shrimp and two
plastic lobsters.
>> Tis no man. Tis a remorseless eating
machine.
Six bells, time for closing.
>> Can't talk, eating.
>> Fairly warned be thee, says I.
>> No!
>> [screaming]
>> Look at the sign, "Sit all you can eat."
>> I'm going to fight this thing.
>> Oh, please don't. For me.
>> Sorry, Marge. This is my quest. I'm like
that guy, that Spanish guy. You know, he
fought the windmills.
>> Don Quixote?
>> No, that's not it. What's his name? The
Man of La Mancha.
>> Don Quixote?
>> No.
>> I really think that was the character's
name, Don Quixote.
>> Fine, I'll look it up.
>> Well, who was it?
>> Never mind.
All you can eat.
>> Huh. Mr. Simpson, this is the most
blatant case of fraudulent advertising
since my suit against the film The
NeverEnding Story.
>> So, do you think I have a case?
>> Homer, I don't use the word hero very
often. But you are the greatest hero in
American history.
>> Woohoo!
>> Good luck in your trumped-up lawsuit,
Dad.
>> Thanks. That means a lot to me.
>> It was a moonless night, dark as pitch,
when out of the mist came a beast more
stomach than man.
>> Hey.
>> So, I says to me bosun, "Batten down the
mizzen mast, mateys."
>> Captain McAllister, isn't it a fact that
you're not a real captain?
>> Aye.
>> Your honor, I would like to show the
court just how much shrimp Mr. Simpson
ate. Bring it in, boys.
18,000 letters, all addressed to Santa
Claus.
>> You want the People of Springfield
versus Chris Kringle? That's next door.
>> Oh.
>> Mrs. Simpson, isn't it true your husband
once consumed a 10-lb bag of flour when
no other food was available?
>> Yes, but it was
>> Your witness.
>> Uh there's a pizza here for
>> Right here.
>> Mrs. Simpson, what did you and your
husband do after you were ejected from
the restaurant?
>> We pretty much went straight home.
>> Mrs. Simpson, you're under oath.
>> We drove around until 3:00 a.m. looking
for another all-you-can-eat fish
restaurant.
>> And when you couldn't find one?
>> We went fishing.
>> [laughter]
>> Did these sound like the actions of a
man who had all he could eat?
>> No!
>> Not at all.
>> That could have been me.
>> Homer, I've a proposition for ye, fair
and true.
>> Come on, Marge. Let the people see your
pretty face.
>> Come see Bottomless Pete, nature's
cruelest mistake.
Come for the freak, stay for the food.
>> Oh, he's hideous.
>> I heard they shaved a gorilla.
>> I heard your dad went into a restaurant
and ate everything in the restaurant and
they had to close the restaurant. Hey,
my dad may have gained a little weight,
but he's not some kind of food-crazed
maniac.
>> Oh, the raspberry.
>> Oh.
