Something Brilliant that I had missed

In the episode where they go to Japan...

Marge - "You liked Rashamon."

Homer - "That's not how I remember it."

FUCKING BRILLIANT!

I had to look it up. Very witty!

But that is basically Macbeth, so it could happen someday, if they ever do another Shakespeare parody.

Have there been any Ed McBain references on the show? Not Rainier Wolfcastle. Kurosawa made a few films based on his novels.

I was thinking something along the lines of the very last scene...
