Homer realizes too late that taxes are due, so he cheats on his taxes and files them just in the nick of time. When the IRS subjects Homer to an audit, they agree to let Homer off if he will agree to help the FBI and become a tool of government oppression. He tries to rat on his friends about their illegal conquests and the government enjoys his work so much that they have him attempt a very special assignment. Mr. Burns has a trillion dollar bill that he stole from the government long ago. Homer tries to find it in his mansion, under the guise of writing a magazine article on Burns. When he finds it, the feds bust in and arrest Mr. Burns, but Homer foils their attempt and runs away with Burns and Smithers. They decide to leave the country with the bill and they wind up in Cuba, where they try to buy the country from Fidel Castro. Castro steals the bill and they have to return in disgrace.
If you have an episode you want to see covered, PM me and let me know. I will add it to the list of upcoming episodes.
Kent Brockman: This is Kent Brockman, live at the Springfield post office on tax day! It's literally the eleventh hour, 10 PM! Tardy tax payers are scrambling to mail their returns by midnight! Sir, why did you wait until the last minute to pay your taxes?
Otto: Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
Homer: Marge! How many kids do we have? Oh, no time to count, I'll just
estimate! Uh... nine!
Marge: Homer, you know we don't h--
Homer: Shut up, shut up! If I don't hear you it's not illegal! OK, I need some deductions, deductions... ah!! Business gifts!
[Homer grabs the boat painting from above the couch and hands it to Marge.]
Here you go, keep using nuclear power!
Marge: Homer! I painted that for you!
Homer: OK, Marge, if anyone asks, you require twenty four hour nursing care, Lisa's a clergyman, Maggie is seven people, and Bart was wounded in Vietnam!
Bart: Cool!
Moe: So Lenny, let's say you pull a thorn outta the Pope's butt, and he grants you one wish, what'll it be?
Lenny: Hmm, only one, huh? Well... I've always wondered what it'd feel like to wear something that's been ironed.
Carl: [whistles impressed] That'd be sweet. What about you, Moe?
Moe: Ah, gee, I was gonna say a night with Joey Heatherton, but an ironed shirt... damn, that's tempting.
Mr. Burns: Now what, Smithers? I-- You're not Smithers!
Homer: I'm Homer Simpson, your trusted employee...
Mr. Burns: [faking delight, repeatedly pushes the "release the hounds" button] An employee, eh? What a pleasant surprise? [pause] Hmm... a pack of vicious dogs should be ripping you to pieces...
Homer: Uh.. I don't know what to tell ya!
Mr. Burns: Very well, come on in. Perhaps I have something I can scald you with.

Not a great episode but has some funny moments such as:
Homer: [bad acting] Hey, so you're watching the ballgame. Looks like a good
one! Any of you involved in any illegal activity, 'cause I could sure
go for some!
Johnson: [in van] Oh, God!
Homer: How about you, Lenny? Testing, testing... Lenny?
Lenny: Are you saying you wanna commit a crime, Homer?
Homer: Maybe. But first I need to hear about some other crimes to get me
fired up.
Carl: You mean like the time you was running moonshine outta your basement?
Barney: Or that telemarketing scam you pulled?
Homer: Uh... like those, but involving you!
Moe: Oh, you mean like the time Barney beat up George Bush.
Homer: Barney? That was me! [bitter] And I'd do it again...
Charlie: Why stop there, Homer? My militia has a secret plan to beat up all
sorts of government officials! That'll teach them to drag their feet
on high definition TV!
[The goons bust in.]
Johnson: You're under arrest for conspiracy!
[they drag him out.]
Moe: How did they finger Charlie? Somebody must've ratted him out!
Homer: Oh, that's ridiculous, Moe. End transmission.

It's a homer line from the episode i've always loved. he says it after mr. burns is getting dragged out and begs homer to tell the world through collier's magazine.
I need to post in these threads more.

I spend too much time here anyway. Stop enabling.
I ran simpsons marathons for the residential life department when I was an undergrad. Good times.
