{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, hello Colette. It's nice to see you back in Springfield! How was it out in Hollywood?}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I tried my best to make it as an actress, but it didn't happen. I just ended up working crappy jobs…}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|So now I'm back home having failed at achieving my lifelong dream.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|So did you audition for any famous movies?!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Sure. I auditioned to play Harley Quinn, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Rey from Star Wars…}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Wow, those are all really big roles! Did you really think they'd hire an unknown actress?}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|You've got to believe in yourself, Marge. Always shoot for the stars! And in my case "Star Wars" — which I didn't get.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|At least they let you audition. That's pretty cool.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Well, I mostly cornered the casting people while they took their lunch breaks.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Well, I bet the food in Hollywood was good at least.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, if you like fifteen salads with barely any dressing on it…}}

{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|So then I auditioned for the lead in "The Carrie Nation Story", but they cast Dash Calhoun because they said they wanted to "play against type".}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Your life in Hollywood was so fascinating!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|If you consider constant rejection while working demeaning jobs fascinating, sure.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Colette, our PTA group is holding a fundraiser, and it would be great to have you come speak about your experiences.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Marge, no offense, but I'm not really interested in having my stereotypical failure held up for the entertainment of others.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|We can pay you fifty bucks.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|As we say in acting, a gig's a gig.}}

{{TB|We have an amazing lineup for this PTA fundraiser, folks! This is a group of people who have all made their dreams come true…}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, if your dream was to be dogwalker to the stars…}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It's true!}}
{{Tapped Out Helen Lovejoy Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'd like to introduce Tabitha Vixx!}}
{{Tapped Out Tabitha Vixx Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I don't know how I ended up at this school function thing, but hi?!}}
{{Tapped Out Helen Lovejoy Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Here's Rainier Wolfcastle!}}
{{Tapped Out Wolfcastle Icon}}
{{TB|I'm more famous than Amos.}}
{{Tapped Out Helen Lovejoy Icon}}
{{TB|And lastly, Colette, whose last name I do not know!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Look guys, I'm not a success story. I spent more time removing edamame shells for people like Tabitha Vixx than actually working with them.}}
{{Tapped Out Tabitha Vixx Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Eating off bean is barbaric!}}
{{Tapped Out Wolfcastle Icon}}
{{TB|Look, as the most famous star at this event, I will now take up all of the remaining time telling the same stories I have already shared on every late night show and podcast.}}
{{Tapped Out Patty Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Quiet, Muscle Boy! We want to hear Colette's story.}}

{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Joking}}
{{TB|…and that's the reason I'm permanently banned from Madison Square Garden.}}
{{Tapped Out Opal Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Uh, thank you for that fascinating story, Krusty.}}
{{Tapped Out Opal Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Now I want a big Opal Show welcome for our next guest, Springfield's latest celebrity sensation: Colette!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon}}
{{TB|Um, thanks, Opal. All this attention still feels pretty foreign to me.}}
{{Tapped Out Opal Icon}}
{{TB|Colette, people are fascinated by your unique and highly original experience of trying to make it in Hollywood and falling flat on your face, then having to move back home.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|It's sort of a story as old as time.}}
{{Tapped Out Opal Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|No! These are the stories that need to be told, Colette! And everyone loves the way you're telling it!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Well, I mean, it's all true what people say about Hollywood — it's brutal. And no one really ever "makes it".}}
{{Tapped Out Opal Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|What do you mean by that?}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Like, take a look at Krusty here. After all of his success, you'd think he'd be happier. But he's just as obsessed and self-absorbed as ever!}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Is that what people think about me? I'm calling my agent, manager, publicist, and blue-haired lawyer!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|See? And that's a straight white man in Hollywood who has it easy.}}

{{Tapped Out Diane Icon}}
{{TB|Colette, I'm super-excited to be working with you on a live action feature based on your unusual and surprising story of trying to make it in Hollywood!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I really don't think it's that surprising.}}
{{Tapped Out Diane Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|So modest — I love it! Now let's start with you telling your story to Brandon here so he can write the screenplay.}}
{{Tapped Out Jeremy Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Actually my name is Jeremy.}}
{{Tapped Out Diane Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Oh, I didn't mean to hire you. I thought you were Brandon. Well, I'm sure you'll do a good job.}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|So…my dad was always busy with work, and my mom was always busy taking care of him. I tried to get his attention by putting on little plays where I'd pretend to be a princess.}}

{{TB|Colette, I'm gonna stop you right there. Everything in your life aside from when you were in Hollywood is boring and terrible.}}
{{Tapped Out Diane Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Let's start with when you arrive in Hollywood after hitchhiking with the man you later learned was a serial killer!}}
{{Tapped Out Colette Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|What? That's not what happened. I just drove my car to Hollywood.}}
{{Tapped Out Diane Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|BORING!}}
{{Tapped Out Jeremy Icon}}
{{TB|Serial killer! I can work with that! It pretty much writes itself.}}
