In her room, Lisa vacuums under the bed. She hears music from outside. Looks as though the Little White Girls have decided to do a tour while they play. Even better, President Clinton follows them, jamming on his saxophone. Moe drives by, scolding, "Hey, Clinton! Get back to work!", to which Bill retorts, "Make me!"

"Bart Gets an Elephant" [The Simpsons]
Original airdate in N.A.: 31-Mar-94
(from internet transcript)
Bart is inexorable: "Uh, Gentlemen, I am not leaving without my elephant." But he and Homer are both tossed out anyway. "Where's my elephant?" Bart demands at the window repeatedly. The DJs close the window, but over the song they play next, Bart's queries can still be heard faintly. At the Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe notes, "Hey, they're playing the elephant song!" Jasper loves that; it reminds him of elephants. Kent Brockman even editorializes, "So isn't that what we're all asking in our own lives -- 'where's my elephant?' I know that's what I've been asking."
At the KBBL studios, Bill and Marty's boss gives them a dressing-down.
Boss: Look, our ratings are down, and the station is being swamped with angry calls and letter-bombs. [A few letter-bombs explode in a pile] And it's all your fault!
Bill: Yes it is, ma'am.
Boss: This is the DJ 3000. It plays CDs automatically, and it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter. [presses a button]
DJ 3000: [stilted] Hey, hey. How about that weather out there? Woah! _That_ was the caller from hell. Well, hot dog! We have a weiner.
Bill: Man, that thing's great!
Marty: _Don't_ praise the machine!
Boss: If you don't get that kid an elephant by tomorrow, the DJ 3000 gets your job.
[Marty punches it]
DJ 3000: Those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Bill: [laughs] How does it keep up with the news like that?

"Stardust"
TV-series season 1 episode 20, 04/19/1996
US Marine Corps first lieutenant Cooper Hawkes: My question isn't really about the system. It's about you.
US Marine Corps Colonel Klingman: You got a problem with me?
Cooper Hawkes: Yeah.
Klingman: Sit down.
Cooper Hawkes: You won't be there. I mean, you yourself? You seem okay to me. You seem like you know what you're doing with this stuff. But a machine - all this? It can't feel what we do out there. When we're under enemy attack and it just becomes one big hairy fur ball and you don't know up from down and your heart's pounding because you're taking enemy fire from your 6:00 and 12:00 and you barely have time to think for yourself - somehow we all just know. We feel where each other are. And I'm there for them and they're for me.
Klingman: You're talking about situational awareness.
Cooper Hawkes: Yeah! And I don't see how you can have it sitting in a closet in the Saratoga. Now, I'm not trying to rag on you but have you ever had your wingman - a good buddy - blown out of the sky then have to drive on while g-forces are tearing you out of your seat?
Klingman: I'm an engineer, Lieutenant.
Cooper Hawkes: And then puke all over yourself when you came out of the roll?
Klingman: Yes, but not in an airplane.
Cooper Hawkes: Have you ever been shot at?
Klingman: No. I've never been in a dogfight. But why must I have taken a life in order for you to trust me? This machine - these wires - will save millions of lives. This plan - my idea - is my part to bring everyone home soon. Safe. And I would think you could believe in and trust someone who's working to be able to spend a night with you back home rather than going out to look up your name on some war memorial wall.

US Navy Commodore Ross: Whoa! Son, I don't know if you'll understand what I am about to say. This is "Rosalyn." You damage her you damage me. And I will make you walk all 12.6 light-years back to Fat Anthony's Guitar Parlor in Shreveport, Louisiana, to repair a single nick.
US Marine Corps General Oliver Radford: We wouldn't want that, now, because I'd have to make him walk all the way to Country Dick's Guitar Shop in Austin, Texas.
US Navy Ensign Sangers: We're all secured here, sir!
US Navy Commodore Ross: Country Dick's! Oh, man. It's been a long time!
US Marine Corps General Oliver Radford: That night in Galveston. We were bombed.
US Navy Commodore Ross: I drove those women away singing "The Ballad of Ira Hayes."
US Marine Corps General Oliver Radford: You would have driven anybody away, after six times in a row. Speaking of which: I was driving through Arizona a few years ago. I was with my people, the Navajo, and... I bought this off a guy on the Pima reservation. Claims it's an old letter signed by Ira Hayes, that he wrote at Iwo Jima. I doubt if it is, but I thought about you, and - Hell, I'd like to think it is. I've been wondering about Hayes a lot. First Pima Indian to become a Marine paratrooper. Helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima. Became a hero for a country that... had massacred Native Americans. They say he drowned in a mud puddle. Drunk. Did he ever feel he had been used? That he'd done the right thing? Would he have done it the same way again, if he had a chance?
US Navy Commodore Ross: Too bad the dead don't get a chance to redeem themselves. Is there something that's troubling you because of your new appointment? You are now the highest-ranking Native American officer in the world. Although it's hard for me to imagine you in charge of anything... called "intelligence."
