** This may be [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct the single finest performance]] that Creator/JulieKavner has given in her history with the franchise. David Silverman had her record the scene one hundred times to [[EnforcedMethodActing make her sound properly emotionally drained]], and it shows: We're used to hearing Marge anxious, blissful, furious, even a weepy mess. But her [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness defeated, soul-bearing tone]] here makes the whole thing ''devastating''. Marge giving up on the man she loves to save her town is understandable but still an unwanted circumstance, and Kavner mines every nugget of emotion possible from the read.

** On top of that, Bart sneakily taking the hot chocolate Flanders offers when Flanders isn't there to judge him. There's something sad about how ''small'' Bart's "Oh my god" is, like this is the first time anyone's actually made him anything like this. Considering Bart's clear status as TheUnfavorite of the Simpson family, it makes sense why this one act of kindness causes him to become bitter towards his own bumbling emotionally stunted father.
