Bart: "I don't want a new dog, I want Santa's Little Helper!"
Homer: "Well, crying isn't going to bring him back unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying, eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog!"
Bart: "Your right. I'll do it!"
[Bart leaves]
Homer: "Rats!! I almost had him eating dog food!"
