The following script from The Simpsons is courtesy of The Simpsons Archive. We'll keep our eyes on M$.
Marge tells Homer Bill Gates is here to see him. Homer panicks, and tells Marge to get out of here so it doesn't look like a two-bit operation.
Bill Gates: Mr. Simpson?
Homer: You don't look so rich...
Bill Gates: Don't let the haircut fool you, I am exceedingly wealthy.
Homer: (quietly) Get a load of the bowl-job, Marge!
Bill Gates: Your Internet ad was brought to my attention, but I can't figure out what, if anything, Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net does, so rather than risk competing with you, I've decided simply to buy you out.
Homer and Marge quietly discuss this proposal.
Homer: I reluctantly accept your proposal!
Bill Gates: Well everyone always does. Buy 'em out, boys!
(Gates' lackeys trash the room.)
Homer: Hey, what the hell's going on!
Bill Gates: Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks! (insane laughter)
