The Simpsons1989

[Homer goes to the plant credit union to get a loan to buy Lisa a pony]

Homer:
Uh, I'd like to borrow $5,000.

Bank Clerk:
Sorry, I can't approve a loan that size myself.

[she walks off; Mr. Burns and Smithers appear]

Mr. Burns:
Hello.

Homer:
Aah!

Mr. Burns:
Simpson, eh? How can I help you?

Homer:
Mr. Burns, you do this personally?

Mr. Burns:
Oh, it's a hobby. I'm not in this for any personal gain, heavens no! By the way, are you acquainted with our state's stringent usury laws?

Homer:
Us-ury?

Mr. Burns:
Oh, silly me! I must have just made up a word that doesn't exist. Now, what is the purpose of this loan?

Homer:
I want to buy a pony.

Mr. Burns:
Isn't that cute! Smithers, he's planning on joining the horsey set!

[lowers voice]

Mr. Burns:
That is it, isn't it? You're not planning to eat it?

Homer:
No, I need to get it for my little girl because she doesn't love me any more...

Smithers:
Shut up, Simpson.

Homer:
Sorry.

Smithers:
Do you have any collateral?

Mr. Burns:
Oh Smithers, let's not be so cold. His spirit is my collateral. Just sign this form, and the money will be yours.

Mr. Burns:
[as Homer begins to sign, Burns starts laughing evilly]

Mr. Burns:
Sorry, I was just, um, thinking of something funny Smithers did today.

Smithers:
I didn't do anything funny, sir.

Mr. Burns:
[whispering] Shut up!
