Anyone remember the Five Stages Of Grief from the episode where Homer eats the blowfish and thinks he's going to die? Seems appropriate as we are all moving through these stages now at different speeds.
Thanks. ScottSPM (still cries at least 10 times a day)
first comes denial(no way cuz i'm not dying),second comes anger(why u little...*@*@!!!!),third comes fear(whats after fear?whats after fear)?,fourth comes bargaining (doc..u gotta get me out of this. i'll make it worth your while) and fifth comes acceptance.(well,we all gotta go sometime) mr.simpson your progress astounds me..etc
I think the one you are thinking of is in 7G11, "Jacques to be Wild", where Marge contemplates having the affair with her bowling instructor after Homer buys her the bowling ball for her birthday.
Here is the dialogue:
Bart: Hmm,, Great lunches, hey Lis?
Lisa: Oh Bart, don't you see? This is what psychologists call Over-
compensation,, Mom is racked with guilt because their marriage is
failing.
Bart: Hey, don't rock the boat Man. Whatever it is, we're making out
like
bandits.
Lisa: Bart, I've read about what happens to kids who's parents no longer
love and cherish each other. They go through eight separate
stages.
Right now I'm in stage three, Fear. You're in stage two, Denial.
Bart: [whines] No I'm not.
Lisa: Yes you are.
Bart: [angrily] No I'm not!
Lisa: Yes you are!
Bart: Am not! Am not! Am not!
Lisa: I stand corrected.
Enjoy! And remember, it's not quite breakfast, and it's not quite lunch, but it comes witha slice of cataloupe at the end. You don't get completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal!

The answer is at http://www.snpp.com/episodes/7F11.html, a place that I go to about 10 times a day.
Dr. H: Now, a little death anxiety is normal. You can expect to go
through
five stages. The first is denial.
Homer: No way! Because I'm not dying! [hugs Marge]
Dr. H: The second is anger.
Homer: Why you little! [steps towards Dr. H]
Dr. H: After that comes fear.
Homer: What's after fear? What's after fear? [cringes]
Dr. H: Bargaining.
Homer: Doc, you gotta get me out of this! I'll make it worth your
while!
Dr. H: Finally, acceptance.
Homer: Well, we all gotta go sometime.
Dr. H: Mr. Simpson, your progress astounds me.
