A Simpsons episode called "The Trouble with Trillions".
"In "The Trouble With Trillions,"
an episode from the show's difficult second decade, Homer Simpson is
given a special assigment: Tracking down the $1 trillion bill printed by
Harry Truman's Treasury during the rebuilding of Europe. The Feds
believe -- correctly -- that the bill was stolen by C. Montgomery Burns,
who had been given it for safe-keeping as "America's wealthiest, and
therefore most trustworthy, man."

Quote:
Mr. Burns:
Well, if it's a crime to love one's country, then I'm guilty. And if
it's a crime to steal a trillion dollars from our government and hand it
over to communist Cuba, then I'm guilty of that too. And if it's a
crime to bribe a jury, then so help me, I'll soon be guilty of that!
Homer Simpson:
God bless America!
