From the Mouth of Abes Pt. 1[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Quimby Proud Icon Officer Lou, please accept this medal of honor... or bravery... or something. I can't read the font.
Wiggum Surprised Icon Hey, I was there too!
Quimby Sly Icon Here is a coupon for five percent off all kazoos at King Toot's.
Wiggum Eyeswide Icon *impressed noise*
Quimby Happy Icon Well, we've honored our hero for Black History Month. My job here is done. I'm going to Cabo.
Grampa Icon Hold it right there! I happen to know a great Black Springfieldian who deserves to be honored.
Quimby Annoyed Icon For the last time, Disco Stu is not black. I believe he is Armenian.
Grampa Icon I'm talking about my ancestor, Virgil Simpson, ya idjit!
Homer Sarcastic Icon Sorry. He's a little senile. I assure you, no Simpson ever did anything great.
Grampa Happy Icon He invented an old timey pastry called wheel cakes, or as we know them today — donuts!
Homer Shocked Icon *gasp* Everyone shut up and listen to the story of the greatest man who ever lived!

End[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon Virgil was a man of many talents. Fiddle Player, singer, pastry chef, and occasional moonshiner.
Grampa Sad Icon But he felt his talents weren't appreciated on the plantation of Colonel Wainwright Burns, on account of the non-existent pay and all.
Grampa Happy Icon So he scrammed himself outta there with the help of the ladies from the Simpson family; Eliza and Mabel.
Lisa Happy Icon Abolitionist women in my family. How exciting!
Grampa Icon Simpson women are always the salt of the earth. Whereas the Simpson men are usually the fat of the land.
Homer Annoyed Icon Is that a fat joke at my expense?
Grampa Innocent Icon Not at all, son. *whispers to Lisa* They're stupid too.

From the Mouth of Abes Pt. 2[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon With Colonel Burns looking for him, Virgil and Mabel ran away from the South, and traveled north via the Underground Railroad, or as it's known today, the New York City Subway System.
Lisa Sad Icon Grampa, that's not what that is!
Grampa Icon Who's telling this story, short stuff? You or me?
Lisa Exhausted Icon You are.
Grampa Surprised Icon I am? Why didn't anybody tell me! Where was I?
Lisa Serious Icon The Underground Railroad.
Grampa Surprised Icon Right. Virgil and Mabel were about to take the two train to the four, five all the way to freedom. But he got waylaid in a small town and met some circus folk who promised to hide them from the law.

Character Dialogue
Opera Krusty Annoyed Icon Look pal, you can hide here with us. But you're gonna have to blend in a little better.
Virgil Simpson Icon You want me to put on white face to look like a clown? Isn't that a little offensive to white people? And clowns?
Bart Confused Icon I don't remember Virgil joining the circus.
Homer Annoyed Icon Quiet boy! I want your Grampa to get to the good part.
Homer Drool Icon A borderline erotic description of those fried wheel cakes.

From the Mouth of Abes Pt. 3[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon As I was saying, Virgil joined the circus and traveled with them, performing as their clown MC.
Bart Confused Icon MC like a rapper?
Grampa Serious Icon It stands for Master of Ceremonies!
Virgil Simpson Happy Icon Fellas and ladies / Old folks and babies / Hold onto your seats / Cuz this show is ca-razy!
Bart Annoyed Icon Are you sure he wasn't a rapper?
Grampa Innocent Icon He might've invented rap music. I dunno.
Bart Happy Icon I bet he also fought robots. It's Virgil Simpson vs. Crematorium Bot! In a fight for the Intergalactic Time Travel Championship Belt!
Grampa Serious Icon Stop hijacking my dadgum flashback!

End[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon Eventually, Virgil and Mabel had to leave the circus because the fuzz was hot on their tail.
Homer Furious Icon Enough about your hot tail fuzz, old man! Get to the donuts!
Grampa Serious Icon I'm getting to the meaty parts, fatty. Slow your roll!
Homer Drool Icon Mmmmm... fatty, meaty parts on a roll.
Grampa Icon Anywho, Virgil and Mabel were hiding out in an abandoned laudanum factory, and starving.
Mabel Simpson Sad Icon If we don't eat soon, I just might faint. And where would I do it? There's not a fainting couch in sight!
Virgil Simpson Happy Icon I searched around this factory and found us a little flour, yeast, molasses, butter, shortening, milk, and two lightly beaten eggs. Maybe I can make us something.

Character Dialogue
Mabel Simpson Happy Icon Mmmm! These so-called wheel cakes are delicious! Who knew food could have a hole in it? What a world!
Virgil Simpson Happy Icon Indeed. I hope to open up a store and share my wheel cakes with the world someday.
Virgil Simpson Icon Perhaps when racism has been defeated after this Civil War. Or we can just go do it in Canada now.
Mabel Simpson Happy Icon O Canada!
Mabel Simpson Kissvirgil Icon *kisses*
Grampa Happy Icon And when they kissed, it sounded like this. *kissing noises*

End[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Annoyed Icon You can leave out some details. There are children listening.
Grampa Serious Icon They gotta learn sometime. Where do you think you come from, boy?
Bart Happy Icon Reverend Lovejoy said the bowels of hell.
Grampa Icon Sounds about right!

From the Mouth of Abes Pt. 5[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon So Virgil and Mabel made it to Canada, where he was a free man. They got married, and had a little boy.
Grampa Icon My great-great-grandfather, Abraham Simpson. Virgil spent the rest of his days revolutionizing the donut game.
Virgil Simpson Happy Icon I finally did it. I've found a way to put jam inside of the wheel cake. Now, you can rot twice as many teeth at once.

End[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Happy Icon ...and the rest is history.
Homer Pained Icon *crying*
Lisa Happy Icon Oh, Dad. Are you moved by the tale of your ancestor's heroism?
Homer Sad Icon No. I'm sad that there aren't donuts here for me to eat right now. Why is life so cruel?
