Bobby	Anyway... the Catholic kids used to ride me for being Jewish... the Jewish kids used to ride me for being Catholic... and that wasn't even my big problem!
Marge	There's more?
Bobby	If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Synopsis for "The Fuse!"

Bobby	All my life my folks have been trying to make me normal! You know the routine -- get a good job, marry a nice girl, have 2.6 children, ten grand in the bank, life insurance, car insurance, insurance insurance...! But there was one tiny problem standing between me and the norm --
Mary, Bobby's cousin	You're a mutant!
Iceman	Heck -- you figured that out when we were still kids! The very fact of what I am has always prevented me from being what Mom'n'Dad want me to be! I've seen the other side, Mary! Part of me really gets off on adventuring... Playing "Iceman -- Defender of Freedom!"
Mary	But?
Iceman	Part of me doesn't! I'm torn between hiding under the covers and leaping into the abyss.
