The Simpsons' neighbors, The Winfields, decide to relocate because of Homer's regular inappropriate behavior. Bart and Lisa explore the Winfield's house while it is empty and up for sale, but Bart scares Lisa away from the basement with stories. Bart turns around to see his new neighbor, Laura Powers. Surprised, he falls down in shock and is helped back up by her and the pair become acquainted. Bart instantly develops a crush on her.
After Marge visits Ruth Powers to welcome her to the area, she tells Marge that she is divorced, and the two become friends. Meanwhile, after seeing a television advertisement about "The Frying Dutchman"'s all you can eat offer, Homer insists that Marge come dine with him, so he arranges for Laura to babysit Bart and Lisa in his and Marge's absence. After being served by the Sea Captain, Homer eats an excessive amount of food and is thrown out. He sues the restaurant for false advertising. Lionel Hutz is employed by him to represent him in court, and the Sea Captain and Homer eventually agree that Homer shall be displayed in the restaurant as "bottomless Pete; a remorseless eating machine" or "nature's cruelest mistake."
Meanwhile, Bart is delighted at having Laura babysitting him and attempts to impress her. She later asks him to come to his treehouse, as she has important news. She tells him she is dating Jimbo Jones, which upsets Bart. When Laura invites him over to the household, Bart, in an attempt to break the pair up, crank-calls Moe's Tavern, giving Moe his address so that he will come and scare Jimbo. Moe races in to the house with a kitchen knife, causing Jimbo to cry and Laura to break up with him for not being man enough. Laura tells Bart that she would date him if he were older and the episode ends with the pair laughing.
[Bart and Lisa are fighting while Homer is on the phone with a babysitter.] Homer:[to Bart and Lisa] SHUT UP YOU LITTLE MONSTERS!!! [to the phone] I was wondering if you'd like to babysit my little angels. [On the other end of the line...] Woman: I'm sorry, this isn't Abby. This is her sister. I look after her now. [Abby rocks in her chair and mumbles quietly to herself.] Abby: No, Bart...put it down...put it down, Bart...put it down...
Homer: You see, son, a woman is a lot like... err... a refrigerator! They're about six feet tall, 300 pounds... they... make ice... uhhh... oh! Actually, a woman is more like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you'd step over your own mother just to get one! [drains his beer] But you can't stop at one, you wanna drink another woman! [runs to the fridge] ---later that night--- Homer:[drunk] So I sez "Yeah? If you want that money, come and find it, 'cuz I don' know where it is, ya baloney!" You make me wanna retch! [falls asleep]
Homer: Sorry Marge, this is my quest! I'm like that guy. That Spanish guy. You know, he fought the windmills. Marge: Don Quixote? Homer: No, whats-his-name. The Man of La Mancha. Marge: Don Quixote. Homer: No! Marge: I really think that was the character's name, Don Quixote. Homer: Fine, I'll look it up [gets a book of the shelf] Marge: Well, who was it? Homer: Never mind.
Lionel Hutz: Homer, I don't use the term hero very often. But you... are the greatest hero... in American history.
Grandpa: Bart, oh you remembered my birthday? Bart: Huh? Oh I sure did! Here's a bus schedule. Grandpa: Wow, fits right in my pocket.
Bart:[calling Moe's Tavern] I'm looking for Amanda, last name Huggenkiss? Moe: Yeah, just a sec. I'll check. [calling out to the patrons] Amanda Hugginkiss? Hey, I'm lookin' for Amanda Hugginkiss. Why can't I find Amanda Hugginkiss? [The patrons laugh.] Barney: Maybe your standards are too high!
Moe: Barney, don't steal any beer while I'm gone. Barney: What kind of pathetic drunk do you take me for? [gasps] Somebody spilled beer in this ashtray!

Lionel Hutz is classic in this one.
Hutz: Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film, “The Never-Ending Story”. Homer: So, do you think I have a case? Hutz: Homer, I don’t use the word hero very often, but you…are the greatest hero…in American history.
Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, what did you and your husband do after you were ejected from the restaurant? Marge: We pretty much went straight home… Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, you are under oath! Marge: We drove around until 3AM looking for another all-you-an-eat fish restaurant. Hutz: And when you couldn’t find one? Marge: We went fishing… Hutz: Do these sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?

Not to go on a tangent, but I remember exactly where I was when I heard that Phil Hartman had been killed. That bummed me out for a good while
