- Homer:
- What happened?
- (jockeys giggle)
- What is this place?
- Jockey #1:
- Welcome to the secret land of the jockey.
- (jockeys giggle)
- Homer:
- Why are you talking like that?
- Jockey #1:
- These are our real voices. (normal voice) We only talk like this on your surface world.
- Homer:
- But you're respected athletes. You own car dealerships and marry beauty queens.
- Jockey #1:
- All a lie. What woman would marry us? We're freaks.
- All jockeys:
- Freaks...freaks...freaks...
- We are the jockeys,
- Jockeys are we,
- We live underground
- In a fiberglass tree.
- Jockey #1:
- 'Tween Earth and Hell, we reign supreme...
- Jockey #2:
- On toadstool thrones by a chocolate stream.
- Jockey #3:
- But all is not well in Jockey Town.
- Jockey #4:
- Your renegade horse is making us frown.
- Homer:
- Whadaya want me to do?
- Jockey #3:
- Your horse must lose.
- Homer:
- My horse must lose?
- Jockey #5:
- No win!
- Jockey #6:
- No show!
- Jockey #3:
- No place!
- Jockey #4:
- Just lose the stinkin' race.
- Homer:
- And what if I refuse to lose?
- Jockey #6:
- We'll eat your brain!
- Homer:
- My horse must lose!
- Did that really happen, or was that just a wonderful dream?
- Jockey #1:
- No dream! Lose the race, fat boy.
