Woods plans to quit the Kwik-E-Mart to go and live in an igloo, but Tony points out he needs to give "two weeks' notice".

 When Apu returns to the Kwik-E-Mart to face his demons, Woods lavishes him with praise, saying "you're like ''the'' guy, you're a legend around here" and explaining that he has been studying Apu's old security tapes for help. Then, a {{ap|Robber|Homer and Apu}} enters the store, instructing Woods to hand over money. When he recognises who he is, he says his next song will be "number three with a bullet". As Woods explains he is an actor not a singer the robber shoots him, only for Apu to dive in front and take the bullet. Apu survives as the bullet bounces off another bullet already lodged inside him. As a token of his gratitude for his life being saved, Woods gets Apu his old job back, before leaving to "battle aliens on a faraway planet", in what he implies is not a movie.<ref>"[[Homer and Apu]]"</ref>

-'''James Trumpanzee''' is an American racist. He has his foot up his thick redneck, stupid, idiotic ass. He is a national villain who spreads cow dung on twitter as if it were gospel.
+'''James Woods''' is an American actor. Woods is hired as [[Apu]]'s replacement at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] after he is fired; he takes the job because he is researching for his next movie. Woods struggles to adapt to the role and eventually leaves the job when the character in his movie is changed. He gets the Kwik-E-Mart bosses to give the job back to Apu, as a thank you for saving Woods' life from a robber at the store.
