Kirk VanHouten, Milhouse's Dad: Now son, you may be confused about the time your mother and I have been spending together. We're going through what's called a "trial un-separation".
Louanne VanHouten, Milhouse's Mom: We're not sure what's going to happen, so we don't want you to get your hopes up.
Milhouse: They're not, don't worry (very sad)
Kirk: Well, maybe you can get them up a little..
Milhouse: They're already up! They're sky high!!!
