Lisa: A hush falls over the general assembly as Stacy approaches the
podium to deliver what will no doubt be a stirring and memorable

[pulls Stacy's cord]
Stacy: I wish they taught shopping in school!
Lisa: [groans, pulls Stacy's cord again]
Stacy: Let's bake some cookies for the boys!
Lisa: Come on, Stacy. I've waited my whole life to hear you speak.
Don't you have anything relevant to say? [pulls cord]
Stacy: Don't ask me, I'm just a girl. [giggles coquettishly]
Bart: Right on! Say it, sister.
Lisa: It's not funny, Bart. Millions of girls will grow up thinking
that this is the right way to act -- that they can never be more
than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a
rich husband, and spend all day on the phone with their equally
vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look
pretty and have a rich husband!
Bart: [pause] Just what I was going to say.
