A Streetcar Named Marge Episode Guide
Episode Info:Episode #8F18 Original Airdate: 10/1/92 Writer: Jeff Martin Director: Rich Moore Guest Voices: Phil Hartman and Jon Lovitz Framegrabs: N/A Chalk Board Gag: MY NAME IS NOT DR DEATH Storyline: The episode starts in the families TV room where Bart, Homer and Lisa are watching the Miss America paegent. Marge tells the family repeatedly that she is auditioning for a musical version of A Streetcar. Homer and the kids don't take too much notice. At the audition we meet Llewellyn Sinclair, an angry play director who is very professional in his job. Marge is shunned to play Blanche, the main character in the play, until Mr Sinclair hears Marge on the phone with Homer, sounding very sad and hurt. He informs her that she now had the part. During auditioning, Mr Sincalir suggests that Maggie enrools at his sisters Day School, the Ayn Rand School for Tots. Here the mood is strict, and Maggie has to lose her favorite of all possesions, her pacifier! She and the rest of the tots attempt to break the pacifiers out, in a very 'Great Escape' fashion. The night of the play comes, and Marge plays great along with the rest of the cast. She is cheered at the end by everyone, except Homer, who Marge notices to seem very bored. She talks to him, and discovers that Homer is actually sad because of what happned to Marge's character in the play. Marge apologises and they walk out of the building togther. Memorable Conversations: Mr Boswell (TV Judge, Man Behind Worst Dressed List): Memo to Goldy Honn. Cheerleading tryouts were 30 years ago. Lets grow up shall we? Bart: *Laughing* He's such a bitch! Mr Sinclair: Hello! I am Llewellyn Sinclair. I have three plays in my career and I have had three heart attacks. That is how much I care - I'm planning for a fourth! Marge: Maybe I should've taken a nice calligraphy class... Chief Wiggum: Aw, forget about it. That Mr Tokahashi's a lunatic! Mr Sinclair: Quiet! Chief Wiggum: Sorry Ms. Sinclair (Head of Ayn Rand School for Tots): A bottle? *Laughs* Marge, do you know what a baby is saying when she reaches for a bottle? Marge: Baba? Homer: *Playing on bowling game* Easy! Easy! Yes! Yes! D'oh! Computer: Seventh Set. SPLIT. Marge: Homer, can you practise some lines with me? Homer: Make Bart do it! Marge: It'll just take a sec. Computer: GUTTERBALL Homer: D'oh! You see Marge? While your off in your own little world, you forget that other people have problems too! *Points at Bowling Game* Ms Sinclair: Don't like to nap ey? We have a place for babies like you! The Box! Mr Sinclair: Marge! Marge! I'm asking for white hot rage and your giving me a hissy fit! Marge: I'm sure you wont enjoy it! There's no bowling in the play...oh, wait, there is. Homer: Probably not much of it. Bart: *In cockney voice* Looking for a spot of fun with the missus, ey Governor? Homer: Shut up, boy. Notes: Otto has a large tatoo of a skeleton driving a flaming car on his chest. Maggie attempts to make a replacement pacifier, including her thumb, a crayon, a building block and what appears to be a small figure of Bart! Posters in the Ayn Rand School for Tots include 'Helping is Futile' and 'A is A'. Maggie and co attempt to recapture their pacifiers in scenes very similar to the Great Escape. Maggie is even put in a small box/pen, throwing a ball against the wall. The play includes a rather insulting song about New Orleans, which got the Simpsons creators into a spot of trouble, of which they tried to resolve in the next episodes Chalkboard Gag. |
