Dialogue[edit]
| After tapping on Sasha Reed's exclamation mark
|
|
Excellent work, Mel. I really think you've got what it takes to be an actor.
|
|
Technically I already am an actor...but just on broadcast TV. And as we all know, broadcast TV is terrible!
|
|
|
And Luann, you played off Mel so well. But...could you maybe put the wine glass down just while you're doing the scene?
|
|
I've decided my character is a heavy drinker. *takes a sip*
|
|
Mine too! *belches*
|
|
|
I can see you're all ready for the next step in this acting class. It's time for me to teach you the art of the emotional breakdown.
|
|
Ooh! Oscar bait!
|
|
|
This is the theater, Barney. We call it Tony bait.
|
| Task: "Make Sasha Reed Teach the Stanislavski Method". The job takes 4 hours.
|
|
Sasha? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back in New York?
|
|
|
Springfield suits me much better. As an actor in New York, I was but a small fish in a big pond. Here I'm a big fish!
|
|
You weren't actually an actor in New York, and you're not acting in anything here. So you're more like a no fish.
|
|
|
Well, you know what they say: those who can't do, teach.
|
|
So the people in your class know you're not a famous actor?
|
|
|
No, because I told them the exact opposite of that. And it wasn't a lie...it was just me acting!
|
|
You're not an actor!
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
| After tapping on Sasha Reed's exclamation mark
|
|
|
This isn't right, Sasha. Your students think they're getting first-hand knowledge of how to make it on Broadway.
|
|
|
And they are! Based on everything I read in this book, "The Stupid Imbecile's Guide to Making it on Broadway".
|
|
|
That's not first-hand!
|
|
|
Good, because I didn't actually read it.
|
|
|
That's it! I'm telling everyone that you're a fraud and getting this school closed down.
|
|
|
Or...we're looking for an instructor for our stage management class. I think you'd be great for it, if you can put a lid on this whole "I'm not who I say I am" thing.
|
|
Ooh, quid pro quo — my favorite kind of deal! Fill me in on the details.
|
|
|
Oh, I'll make those up later. Right now I need to deal with my adoring fans. Just make sure to show up hours before I get here tomorrow.
|
Task: "Make Sasha Reed Sign Autographs". The job takes 4 hours.
If Marge is owned: Task: "Make Marge Write Her Stage Management Class Syllabus". The job takes place at Springfield Community Theater, Community Center, Springfield Multicultural Center, Springfield High School, Old Theatre District, Open Air Stage, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Excuse me, am I in the right place for the "Life's a Stage, If You Can Manage It" class?
|
|
|
Milhouse? You're into the theater?
|
|
Yeah. I've tried out for every school play, but the best part I've ever managed to land is Assistant to the Understudy for Chorus Member #7.
|
|
So now you want to be a stage manager?
|
|
|
I just want to yell at all the people who got the roles I wanted.
|
|
|
Then you came to the right place!

|
|
|
So if you can convince other actors to join the class, then they'll be in your downline and you'll get a cut of their fees.
|
|
|
And if THEY get people to join, you'll get a cut of their fees too...minus my cut of course. Also you all need to buy ten cases of face cream for actors.
|
|
|
Sasha! Have you turned your class into a pyramid scheme?!
|
|
|
It's relevant to the project, Marge. We're doing Antony and Cleopatra.
|
|
|
No, we're doing Macbeth.
|
|
"Out damned spot! Out, I say!"
|
|
|
Don't worry, Mel. We also sell a detergent that can get out any stain.
|
Task: "Make Sasha Reed Turn Her Class Into a Pyramid Scheme". The job takes place at Springfield Community Theater, Community Center, Springfield Multicultural Center, Springfield High School, Old Theatre District, Open Air Stage, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
If Marge is owned: Task: "Make Marge Contact the Better Business Bureau". The job takes place at Springfield Community Theater, Community Center, Springfield Multicultural Center, Springfield High School, Old Theatre District, Open Air Stage, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Marge, you ratted me out to the fuzz?! Just because you're jealous of my acting career? Classic stage manager!
|
|
|
You think I'm jealous of YOU?! You are so narcissistic! Classic actor!
|
|
|
Well, at least you're now admitting I'm an actor.
|
|
I am. You tried and failed, but then got back up and tried again...pursuing your dream in the face of constant adversity. And that's what an actor does.
|
|
|
But now it's over, and I'm dropping the curtain on this silly farce. Because that's what a stage manager does.
|
|
|
Well played, Marge. You won this round, but I'll be back...once I'm old enough to get parts as a grandmother.
|
|
|
I'll be happy as an actual grandmother by then, so knock yourself out.
|
|
Does this mean the stage management class is cancelled?
|
|
You better believe it, son. You need to help your mom sell sixty units of silver polish to make her quota!
|
|
Showbiz is brutal.
