Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Operator of the Kwik-E-Mart convenience store, Apu was born in Pakistan but is an American citizen. A vegetarian, he is frequently shot by robbers but almost never misses an 18-hour workday. He nearly lost his job for selling spoiled meat products, charges $1.85 for a 29-cent stamp and is happily married to his prearranged wife, Manjula, with whom he has eight children (octuplets); Nabendu, Pria, Sashi, Poonam, Anoop, Sandeep, Gheet and Uma. (Voiced by Hank Azaria.) Memorable Line: "I have asked you nicely not to mangle my merchandise. You leave me no choice but to...ask you nicely again." First Appearance: February 25, 1990, "The Telltale Head," in which he is distracted by Bart, who orders a Squishee, while three young shoplifters help themselves to a Playdude magazine. The scoop: Named after the Apu trilogy, three critically acclaimed films from the '50s by Indian director Satyajit Ray. It was Groening who suggested that Apu be Indian, though "we were worried he might be considered an offensive stereotype," Al Jean says. "But then we did the first read-through, and Hank said, 'Hello, Mr. Homer' with his accent, and it got such a huge laugh, we knew it had to stay." The writers made Apu a Pakistani of great dignity and industry. Groening says: "I think he really loves his job and the power that it gives him to frustrate other people."

Apu is the owner of the Quiky Mart With all due respect, that doesn't really help :=) Okay, so I'm not a regular Simpsons viewer. But I thought that Apu Vegan described what kind of 'vegan' Lisa thinks she is. Oh well, it's okay - I guess you have to watch the program!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi Fraggle > Memorable Line: "I have asked you nicely not to mangle my merchandise. You leave me no choice but to...ask you nicely again." Must admit, my favourite was the one where someone's holding up Kwik-E-Mart.. they tell Apu to put the money in the bag, and he says "Yes, yes. I know the routine, I do work in a convenience store" BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
