Mrs. Frink: I’m growing to like him as a pet.
Octoparrot: I’m hungry! I’m hungry! *ink spray*
Frink: Well, he’s good practice before we create our own children.
Mrs. Frink: Children… Miniaturize some of your clothes. I have an idea!
Frink: Miniaturize them? But that technology is far too advanced!
Mrs. Frink: We get it. You invented the Shrink Ray…
Frink: I did! But my shrink ray is very sensitive. If you shrink something, you can’t just zap it back and make it big again.
Mrs. Frink: Now that would be something worth investing in.

Squeaky Voice Teen: Welcome to the Childrarium. How can I help you?
Mrs. Frink: I would like to drop my son off to be nurtured and educated while I go get a mani-pedi and feel smugly superior to other parents because I’m paying to give my child a head start.
Squeaky Voice Teen: We really appreciate that kind of honesty here at the Childrarium.
Mrs. Frink: I just want the best for my child, Octoparrot.
Squeaky Voice Teen: His name is Octoparrot?
Mrs. Frink: Well, we prefer to call him by his nickname: Octo.
Squeaky Voice Teen: All right, Octo. Time for a fun-filled day at the Childrarium!

Squeaky Voice Teen: I’m pretty sure it was!
Mrs. Frink: *zaps with shrink ray* Sorry, but you know too much.
Squeaky Voice Teen: I’m as small as the toddlers now!

The Nature to Nurture Pt. 5
Mrs. Frink starts

Mrs. Frink: I’m tired of putting in all the work to raise our 8-tentacled crime against nature while you futz around trying to generate cold fusion in your lab!
Frink: I knew Octoparrot would create a divide between us!
Octoparrot: *brawk* I choose neither of you in the divorce!
Frink: I never wanted a genetically-engineered faux-child. That was all you. You HAD to have one, and I supported you in that, but you always knew that I have very important science work.
Mrs. Frink: Yeah, doing what? Robotics?
Frink: Robots are the future!
Mrs. Frink: You just built another robot bartender didn’t you?
Frink: Yes! And Charles can make ice AND serve drinks, thank you very much.  But by Glayvin’s ghost, I can’t get him to stop crushing the ice cubelets!
Robot: *crushing noises* Here’s your margarita, sir.

Ned: Everyone in town knows you and Frink are hiding some sort of lab-grown monster.
Mrs. Frink: But how? I’ve been so careful!
Ned: Well, your octoparrot has been spraying ink all around town. But you can all relax. Some archaeologists just discovered a new stash of early Christian manuscripts — the Deader Sea Scrolls. And in it, there’s a new gospel that says abominations are okay as long as they’re cute!
Mrs. Frink: So our little Octo is safe?
Ned: Who’s the cute little octoparrot, who?
Octoparrot: *brawk* Get me away from this weirdo! And from all of you!
Mrs. Frink: Octo’s right. You belong in this world. Go and be free, little Octo!
Frink: So long, son.
Octoparrot: *brawk* I’ll send you a postcard from Rio! *flies away*
