Character Information
|
Cesar is one of two hostile French wine makers who force Bart to be their slave. His nephew is Ugolín.
History
The two are the owners and only employees (aside from Maurice the Donkey) of the Chateau Maison wine orchard. They use the foreign exchange student program to get Bart from the U.S. and have him work for them as their slave, to replace their donkey. They are very mean men and they give Bart very little food, force him to sleep on the ground, and make him taste the Anti-Freeze filled wine.
They had not waited long enough for their wine to ferment, so had decided to add Anti-Freeze to it for flavor. They got Bart to taste-test it (making sure he hadn't gone blind after drinking it), then sent Bart out to get some more Anti-Freeze. This turned out to be their undoing: Once Bart realized he had subliminally learnt fluent French, he told a passing police officer everything, and Cesar and Ugolín were arrested. It is assumed they went to a French prison.
Other Appearances
Later, in Lisa the Greek, they are seen watching TV in an apartment. They appear again briefly in Last Exit to Springfield, and then again as two of the surrendering French men in The Simpsons Game level, "Medal of Homer". In the ending, it is implied that Ugolin was the mayor of the village.
Trivia
- Cesar and Ugolín are the names of two of the main characters from Marcel Pagnol's novel collection "L'Eau des collines" which consists of "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des sources".
