Homer is about to launch a rocket...
Homer: "It's time to slip the surly bonds of gravity and punch the face of God!"
(As noted on http://www.tv.com/simpsons/she-of-little-faith/episode/98443/summary.html:
Homer is trying to quote the poem "High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee, an RCAF pilot in World War II. The poem begins, "For I have slipped the surly bonds of earth," and ends with, "Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.")
