U-huh... You new? I ain't never seen your kind 'round here 'fore." "Fancy tie, suede jacket... I KNOWS! Y'allz one of dem preem-yam characters I'z been hearin' 'bout!
Oh just ignore him, he's the local yokel - one of many beloved American stereotypes." "Speaking of stereotypes, you must be here to help celebrate this year's Thanksgiving?
No, actually I'm here on business. I run the new casino and would like to learn a little bit about Springfield.
A Native American opening a casino, eh? No stereotypes that I can see there.
I'm really excited to see Native America finally represented in our town Chief!
Thank you Lisa, it's nice to feel welcome in spite of my current price point." "Speaking of money, would you like to help me get started on my mission to break down the walls of cultural insensitivity and ignorance?
I'd love to! What would you like me to do? Hand out pamphlets? Organize protests? Burn an effigy? I've always wanted to burn an effigy.
No, no. Nothing quite so involved. I just need an unpaid volunteer to help me deliver Casino Vouchers.
...for some kind of a unification ceremony?
No, to advertise the casino. Social Security checks come today, and I want to fleece the oldies before they have time to deposit their money.
*sigh* I'm trying to like you, but you're not making it easy.
Chief, meet Moe Szyslak. Moe, the Chief is a manager of a Native Casino that's just moved into town.
Well, I guess I'll finally have to stop organizing illicit after-hours poker games at the bar.
Oh don't worry, we're not here to compete with you for illegal business.
Oh I ain't worried, I still go the panda smuggling. People love the panda smuggling. They buy em as fast I can smuggle em. Panda, panda, panda... smuggle, smuggle, smuggle...
Lisa – I had a vision quest! Matthew Modine fell in love with Linda Fiorentino.
I think you just saw the movie “Vision Quest”.
In the movie does Matthew Modine have super powers including super-stretching and super-strength and invisibility and sometimes flying? And is Linda Fiorentino a talking frog?
Maybe you did have a vision quest.
What does it mean?
I think we need to talk to the chief before he leaves town!!!
So all this talk about lifting Springfield out of its cultural poverty wasn’t true?
I think you misunderstood Lisa.
The fact that my business is doing so well is proof that our efforts here have been fruitful!
I’m not sure I’d call ‘Living it up at the Casino’ a real cultural exchange...
When you think about it, casinos are actually a regressive tax on the disadvantaged.
Money is extracted from the poorest and most vulnerable of the community with little contribution to the local tax base because all the profits go to the tribe.
You can go now.
Be sure to tell everyone in town: “For great good, terrific shows, and gaming action, be sure to visit Caesar’s Pow Wow Casino!”
