Dialogue[]

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 1[]

Character Dialogue
Dolph Icon "Stealing from the Kwik-E-Mart isn't as easy as it used to be. They now have electronic tags on the electronic tags."
Nelson Icon "It might be the years and years of stealing, but Apu just doesn't trust us like he used to."
Dolph Icon "Wasn't there another clerk at the Kwik-E-Mart? Kind of a younger, hipper, nicer, richer, more handsome version of Apu?"
Apu Angry Icon "I'm standing right here!"
Nelson Icon "I remember him! Sanjay! He used to offer a Kwik-E-Mart delivery service for single mothers."
Dolph Icon "I think that was only your mom..."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 2[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Happy Icon "Is that you Sanjay? Praise Ganesh! I thought I'd never see your handsome face again!"
Sanjay Icon "Oh Apu! My dear brother..."
Apu Icon "You know Sanjay, you're nearly two years overdue for your shift at the Kwik-E-Mart."
Sanjay Icon "I've only just arrived. Come have a drink with me to celebrate my reincarnation!"
Apu Icon "One drink. I'd make it two if you'd reincarnated into something more impressive - like a cow."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Happy Icon "What an amazing 45 seconds! Now I need to get back to the Kwik-E-Mart."
Apu Icon "Since I can’t lock up the place, I have to leave a cardboard cut-out of me in charge."
Apu Sad Icon "And that cardboard cut-out gives way too many discounts for dented cans. It’s ruining my business!"

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 3[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "Apu, you can’t keep running the Kwik-E-Mart all by yourself without any help."
Apu Sad Icon "The octuplets were a great help until they unionized."
"I’ve thought about hiring an employee, but could not imagine one of the local buffoons running the place."
Homer Scared Icon "Help! Someone! Anyone! A raccoon ran away with my belt and I can’t chase it because my pants keep falling down!"
Apu Sad Icon *sigh*
Sanjay Icon "While they might be idiots, they do seem to have perfect timing when you want to emphasize a point."
Apu Icon "There is, however, one person I could trust to work for me."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 4[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "Alright Apu. I’ll accept your less than generous offer of employment… only in exchange for working a reasonable schedule."
Apu Icon "You have my word Sanjay, I will do my best to keep all your shifts under 12 hours in length."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "All work and no play makes Sanjay a dull boy. All work and no play makes Sanjay a dull boy."
Sanjay Sad Icon "Aughh! Aisle four is a river of blood!"
Sanjay Icon "Oh wait, it’s just cherry flavored Squishee. The machine must be broken again. This job is really driving me crazy."
Hans Moleman Sad Icon "Help me! I can’t swim AND I have type II diabetes."
Sanjay Icon "I’m sorry, sir. But company policy clearly states that you must purchase something before I can save your life."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 5[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Sad Icon "One day of work and I already hate my job."
Homer Sarcastic Icon "Tell me about it. I skipped work today and it’s still all I hear about."
Homer Annoyed Icon "Nuclear meltdown on the radio, on the TV, from a guy in a hazmat suit in my living room. Yeesh."
Sanjay Sad Icon "Apu promised it would be different this time, but the only thing different is that it is a little worse."
Homer Icon "This is America, Sanjay. Employers lie to employees, and employees take their revenge by getting drunk."
Homer Happy Icon "And by sometimes giving their friends free hot dogs."

Jobs Started[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Worried Icon *GASP* "My store is without a clerk! Not even a cardboard one!"
Apu Sad Icon "Oh I cannot believe it! A mere 16 hours into his first 12 hour shift and Sanjay is already slacking off!"
Apu Angry Icon "Doesn't he realize that the American Dream applies to business owners, not their employees?"
"Just wait until I find you, Sanjay! You'll get a talking-to that will sting for a lifetime‚ and two more lifetimes after that."
Apu Icon "But where could he be? I'll check his usual haunts – the Kwik-E-Mart and India."
Apu Sad Icon "I really don’t know my brother very well."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Angry Icon "There you are Sanjay! I’ve finally found you, you lazy goat of a man!"
Homer Drunk Icon "Well since I had absolutely *hic* nothing to do with this, I must be going"
Apu Angry Icon "How dare you leave my store unattended! The magazines have all been read, and the “take a penny leave a penny” jar is practically empty!"
"This is as irresponsible as that time you ran off to become a sitar player."
Sanjay Icon "I was the second best sitar player in the world! It just turns out that the world needed only ONE sitar player."
Apu Angry Icon "Well maybe I should offer the Kwik-E-Mart job to Ravi Shankar."
Sanjay Angry Icon "Joke’s on you, he’s dead! Not to mention he was a known pickpocket."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 6[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Angry Icon "I’m about to say something a Nahasapeemapetilon has never said – I quit!"
Apu Angry Icon "I’m about to say something a Nahasapeemapetilon has said many times – you’re fired!"
"Turn in your keys, your gun, and your “Employee of the Month” mug."
Sanjay Sad Icon "What are you going to do with that?"
Apu Icon "Probably get up on the roof and shoot at looters."
Sanjay Sad Icon "No, I meant the mug."
Apu Angry Icon "Target practice for shooting looters."
Sanjay Shocked Icon "That’s how you treat the best employee you've ever had?"
Apu Icon "Oh, I would never be that mean to the cardboard cut-out."
Sanjay Sad Icon "Your heart is as cold as your defective Red Hots. I have no brother."
Apu Angry Icon "Then I will say goodbye to you as coldly as I do my customers…"
Apu Happy Icon "Thank you, come again!"

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 7[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "As the ancient saying goes: "Please buy more ancient saying cards for more ancient sayings."
Sanjay Angry Icon "Argh! I hate the Kwik-E-Mart. Apu has cheated me out of decent pay, reasonable hours, and now pre-packaged spirituality!"
Sanjay Icon "At least I still have my dignity, which I can party away on my own time.

End[]

Character Dialogue
Bart Icon "What’s wrong Sanjay? Are you being attacked by bees?"
Sanjay Icon "No, I’m dancing!"
Bart Icon "I feel like those moves would look better if a thousand other Indians were doing them simultaneously."
Sanjay Icon "A thousand dancers? I wish! But this is my life, not the set of an ultra-low budget Bollywood film. I dance to express myself."
"How do you express yourself?"
"Paint a picture? Practice the ancient art of origami towel folding?"
Bart Icon "Mostly I just cause millions of dollars worth of property damage…"

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 8[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "This is the new me! I’m seizing the now! Doing things I’ve always wanted to do."
"For example, I’ve always wanted to ride a skateboard."
Bart Icon "No such luck, dude. This skateboard’s mine. See, my name is written on it."
"Mart Crimpton? I learned nothing at Krusty’s Kalligraphy Kamp."
Sanjay Icon "I’ve also always wanted to steal from a child."
Bart Icon "Alright alright, you can borrow it."
Sanjay Icon "I’m sure the Gods will someday reward your kindness."
Bart Icon "I would prefer they reward me right now. With cash. From your wallet."
Sanjay Icon "Got to go!"

Middle[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "What fun!"
"It’s like driving! Only one tenth the speed and twelve times the effort."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 9[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "I thought I had finally found someone to help run the Kwik-E-Mart, but it turns out I can’t even rely on my own family."
Homer Icon "Preaching to the choir."
Homer Annoyed Icon "Maggie never shares her bottle. Marge refuses to let me eat in bed. And Liza is always claiming that I’m forgetting her name."
Apu Icon "You mean Lisa?"
Homer Annoyed Icon "Don’t get me started on Lisa. With her crazy ideas about global warming and her refusal to eat meat."
Apu Icon "I, too, am a vegetarian."
Homer Sarcastic Icon "Hahaha. No meat. Hahaha…"
Homer Icon "Thank you, Apu. It’s good to laugh again."
"You really solved my problem."
Apu Sad Icon "But we were talking about my problem! Ugh, never mind."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 10[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Mr. Burns Icon "Smithers!! Start cranking the automobile. We’re headed out on the town for a day of high-jinks, tomfoolery, and, time permitting, japery."
Smithers Icon "Of course, Mr. Burns. Shall I pack the picnic basket and your promenading pants?"
Mr. Burns Icon "There will be no promenading where we’re going: the local Kwik-E-Mart."
Smithers Icon "But that’s where the common man shops, sir. Men who didn’t meet Teddy Roosevelt."
Mr. Burns Icon "I didn't just meet him, I tried to kill him and stuff him!"
"Now do as I say or I’ll stuff you too!"
Smithers Icon "Yes, sir!"
Mr. Burns Icon "And don’t forget that coupon insert – no sense wasting pennies, especially while I’m saving up for that penny wasting machine."
Smithers Icon "These discounts do seem too good to be true. Perhaps I’ll even pick up a few items."
Mr. Burns Icon "You shop on your own time."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "Mr. Burns sure wiped me out. I can’t believe Kwik-E-Mart corporate let such a promotion slide."
"It’s like the Buy None Get One Free fiasco all over again."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 11[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Icon "Now let’s just hope that no one else sees that deal. Who am I kidding – no one in Springfield reads the newspaper."
Brockman Icon "This just in – nobody reads about stunning Kwik-E-Mart promotion. Coming up – are your cats TOO cute?"
Apu Worried Icon "Why does it sound like an overweight horde is headed my way?"

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 12[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "I’d rather face a swarm of locusts than these deal-hungry demons."
"At least the locusts wouldn’t try to pay in nickels and socks full of buttons."
Cletus Icon "Those buttons be legal tender."

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 13[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "These coupons will be the death of me. I’ve been forced to sell products at their actual suggested retail price!"
"Passing these savings off to my loyal customers feels downright un-American."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Worried Icon "Thank you, never come again!"

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 14[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "Empty shelves AND an empty cash register. I feel like I've been robbed."
Snake Icon "Hands up – this is a robbery!"
Apu Sad Icon "But I have nothing left to give."
Snake Icon "Those are some good-looking pants…"
Apu Choking Icon *ACK!* *HURR!* *ARGH!* AIEEE! *Faint*

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 15[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Icon "So this is what relaxation feels like – my back doesn't hurt, my feet fit in my shoes, my stomach lining has returned."
Dr. Hibbert Icon "You’re currently staying in our Exhaustion Wing, which is usually occupied by our celebrity patients."
Krusty Icon "I’d like my regular room and an IV please. I’ll be here until the bad press from those Nazi Mr. Teeny photos dies down."
Apu Icon "All this for me?"
Dr. Hibbert Happy Icon "We treated you to the VIP package of exhaustion care, no expense was spared."
Dr. Hibbert Sad Icon "Until we realized that your insurance only covers polio braces and Lamaze classes."
"At which point every expense was spared… until your brother stepped in and paid all your bills."
Apu Embarrassed Icon "Sanjay?!" *gasp* "I can’t believe he would pay all my bills after I fired him from the Kwik-E-Mart."
Dr. Hibbert Icon "Hmmm‚ disbelief is a common symptom of exhaustion. Let’s call up your brother and see if he’ll pay for more tests."
Apu Icon "I must make things right with my brother."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Sad Icon "Sanjay, I have been a fool and am here to ask for your forgiveness."
"I called you lazy, unreliable, and overweight, and I paid the ultimate price. I was punished by doing that which I love most: work."
Sanjay Icon "You never called me overweight."
Apu Sad Icon "May you also find it in your heart to forgive me for talking behind your back. Your wide, expansive back."
Sanjay Icon "Wouldn't this apology be better with an offer of, oh, I don’t know, a job?"
Apu Icon "Of course! Please come back to work for me! I’ll give you anything."
Sanjay Icon "Anything?"
Apu Icon "Except decent pay, reasonable hours, vacation time, or benefits. But you can have all the mop water you want!"
Sanjay Icon "I accept! But only because your medical bills bankrupted me and I’m desperate.

A Perfectly Cromulent Job Pt. 16[]

Character Dialogue
Sanjay Icon "It is good to be back Apu!"
Apu Happy Icon "Do you really mean it?"
Sanjay Sad Icon "Not at all."
