Stewart Burns Director: Lauren MacMullan Guest Voice: Joe Mantegna as Fat Tony Framegrabs: Click here for this episode's framegrabs Chalk Board Gag: N/A Storyline: The family goes to the Springfield Botanical Gardens, where they and the other residents are there to see the blossoming of the Sumatran Century Flower. When his bar is empty, Moe finds out that is where all his customers have gone and he goes to join them. With a capacity crowd plus one on hand, Chief Wiggum has to send someone away and he selects Moe. As a result, Moe is one of the only ones to not be driven out of town by the obnoxious and somewhat lethal (to other plant life) smell of the Sumatran Century Flower when it finally does bloom. The mass exodus from Springfield results in a huge traffic jam on the Springfield Bridge. When traffic begins to move, Homer hits the accelerator, only to have to immediately slam on the brakes, because traffic didn't move that far. The quick stop to family car and the faulty seat restraint that was holding Maggie in the backseat causes her to be launch through the sunroof and over the side of the bridge. She lands in the arms of Moe, who was perched on the side of the bridge ready to commit suicide. Moe becomes a hero. Moe stops by to see Maggie and winds up watching her when Marge needs to care of Grampa, who's out on the street acting crazier than normal. Moe becomes Maggie's fulltime babysitter. Moe entertains Maggie by telling her a story; of course it's "The Godfather" saga. Late in the evening after Maggie's birthday party, where Homer began to learn that Maggie prefers Moe over him, Marge and Homer hear Maggie crying. They go to her room only to find Moe already there calming her down. They forbid him to ever see her again. The next day, Moe is lonely and missing Maggie. That night, outside her window, Maggie overhears Fat Tony and his boys plan to take out the Castellaneta family. She crawls out her window and begins pursuing them. Marge discovers Maggie is gone and they immediately suspect Moe. When Moe doesn't have her and he finds out she is missing, he offers to help. Clues outside Maggie's window reveal that the mob was gathered outside of her window and Moe suggests that they might find her in little Italy. At a restaurant in Little Italy Maggie finds she is in the middle of an "Italian-American Mexican standoff." Moe volunteers to go in and rescue her. He draws the mobster's attention to Maggie which causes them to all go soft. Moe returns Maggie to Homer and Marge and prepares to leave; only Maggie doesn't want him to go. Homer and Marge agree that Moe can have the occasional play date with Maggie, provided he brings along his ham to accompany Homer. Memorable Conversations: Lisa: The Venus Flytrap is a carnivorous plant who chooses bait to lure unsuspected prey to their digestive track. Homer: Stupid prey! They never suspect anything... Ooo! A hotdog! (Inside the Venus Flytrap who tries to lure Homer) (Homer eats hotdog) (Flytrap eats Homer) (Homer eats Flytrap) Homer: Flower power my ASS! Chief Wiggum: Uh! People! We're officially over capacity. (2500 Persons) I'll take one person out, someone who's alone, who's already bitter, someone's feeling who's been trampled on so many times one more won't make any.. oh Moe! Moe: Yep! That's me alright... Chief Wiggum: Sorry Moe... You can either walk out with diginity or I can push you down this muddy hill. Moe: I prefer that you push me, now that I am desperate for any human contact... Chief Wiggum: eh, thanks a lot... (Pushes Moe down with his stick) Bart: Man! The plant cut one! Marge: Bart!

Marge: Thanks for taking care of Maggie! Moe: Uh, no problem! You know, it gave me kind of a good warm feeling. Like when you are drunk and fall aleep in the snow! Marge: Hrmmm... Marge: Oh! She really likes you! Maybe the next time I need a sitter and you're not busy...? Moe: I, I'd love to! Uh, lemme just check my schedule. (Reads schedule: Nothin', More Nothin') Well, I was going to erase those apostrophes and write in the G's, so call any time... Lisa: Way to go mom! Homemade dimsum with 8 kinds of dipping sauce! Moe: We can't tickle Elmo no more. Coochie, coochie coo! Elmo: No means no for Elmo! (The Elmo doll slaps Moe.) Moe: Alice in Wonderland, huh... Ah this must be a take off of the Alice in Underpants movie I saw. (Maggie smiles at Moe) It's so nice to be someone who can't understand the horrible things I say. Lisa: This party is boring! Everything's for babies! Bart: I'm helping daddy! (Playing with toy lawnmower where balls inside pops) (Lisa stares) Lisa, it says... one year and UP! Moe: (Present for Maggie) It's Uncle Moe's play tavern! With classic drunk Barney, look, even the little toilet is broken... Marge: I don't think toy drunkards are an appropriate gift for a baby...

Lenny: You still got us Moe! Moe: (Looks at barflies as if they are Maggies) You guys mind, if I kiss your tummies? Barflies: Oh! Yeah! Mmm..! (Nodding heads) Marge: (Goes into Maggie's pen, finds out Maggie's gone) AHHHHH! Homer: What are you screaming about!?! Did you discover my snake farm? Cause I can explain... I am going to farm, and sell snakes...! Marge: Maggie's GONE! Homer: It must've been Moe! Marge: You guys' are the world's worst cops! Chief Wiggum: No! Now that I'm off duty... I'm the world's worst soccer coach! Heh... Lisa: (Finding clues) It looks like Maggie crawled through these bushes, spit up over here, and crashed her tricycle into the wall! Homer: Uh... no... that was me... Moe: I think we'll need to take a trip to Little Italy... Homer: I'll get our little passports...
