Dialogue[edit]
| After tapping on Colette's exclamation mark
|
|
Oh, hello Colette. It's nice to see you back in Springfield! How was it out in Hollywood?
|
|
I tried my best to make it as an actress, but it didn't happen. I just ended up working crappy jobs...
|
|
|
So now I'm back home having failed at achieving my lifelong dream.
|
|
So did you audition for any famous movies?!
|
|
|
Sure. I auditioned to play Harley Quinn, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Rey from Star Wars...
|
|
|
Wow, those are all really big roles! Did you really think they'd hire an unknown actress?
|
|
You've got to believe in yourself, Marge. Always shoot for the stars! And in my case "Star Wars" — which I didn't get.
|
|
|
At least they let you audition. That's pretty cool.
|
|
|
Well, I mostly cornered the casting people while they took their lunch breaks.
|
|
Well, I bet the food in Hollywood was good at least.
|
|
|
Yeah, if you like fifteen salads with barely any dressing on it...
|
Task: "Make Colette Talk About Auditioning". The job takes place at Springfield Park Entrance, a Kwik-E-Mart, or a Visitable Home and takes 3 hours.
If Marge is owned: Task: "Make Marge Be Fascinated by Colette's Stories". The job takes place at Springfield Park Entrance, a Kwik-E-Mart, or a Visitable Home and takes 3 hours.
|
|
|
So then I auditioned for the lead in "The Carrie Nation Story", but they cast Dash Calhoun because they said they wanted to "play against type".
|
|
|
Your life in Hollywood was so fascinating!
|
|
|
If you consider constant rejection while working demeaning jobs fascinating, sure.
|
|
|
Colette, our PTA group is holding a fundraiser, and it would be great to have you come speak about your experiences.
|
|
|
Marge, no offense, but I'm not really interested in having my stereotypical failure held up for the entertainment of others.
|
|
|
We can pay you fifty bucks.
|
|
As we say in acting, a gig's a gig.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
| After tapping on Colette's exclamation mark
|
|
We have an amazing lineup for this PTA fundraiser, folks! This is a group of people who have all made their dreams come true...
|
|
|
Yeah, if your dream was to be dogwalker to the stars...
|
|
|
It's true!
|
|
|
I'd like to introduce Tabitha Vixx!
|
|
I don't know how I ended up at this school function thing, but hi?!
|
|
|
Here's Rainier Wolfcastle!
|
|
I'm more famous than Amos.
|
|
And lastly, Colette, whose last name I do not know!
|
|
|
Look guys, I'm not a success story. I spent more time removing edamame shells for people like Tabitha Vixx than actually working with them.
|
|
Eating off bean is barbaric!
|
|
|
Look, as the most famous star at this event, I will now take up all of the remaining time telling the same stories I have already shared on every late night show and podcast.
|
|
Quiet, Muscle Boy! We want to hear Colette's story.
|

|
I thought I made all my waiters sign NDAs!
|
|
What a crazy life you've led in Hollywood!
|

|
|
| After tapping on Colette's exclamation mark
|
|
...and that's the reason I'm permanently banned from Madison Square Garden.
|
|
Uh, thank you for that fascinating story, Krusty.
|
|
Now I want a big Opal Show welcome for our next guest, Springfield's latest celebrity sensation: Colette!
|
|
|
Um, thanks, Opal. All this attention still feels pretty foreign to me.
|
|
Colette, people are fascinated by your unique and highly original experience of trying to make it in Hollywood and falling flat on your face, then having to move back home.
|
|
|
It's sort of a story as old as time.
|
|
|
No! These are the stories that need to be told, Colette! And everyone loves the way you're telling it!
|
|
|
Well, I mean, it's all true what people say about Hollywood — it's brutal. And no one really ever "makes it".
|
|
What do you mean by that?
|
|
|
Like, take a look at Krusty here. After all of his success, you'd think he'd be happier. But he's just as obsessed and self-absorbed as ever!
|
|
Is that what people think about me? I'm calling my agent, manager, publicist, and blue-haired lawyer!
|
|
|
See? And that's a straight white man in Hollywood who has it easy.

|
|
...and that's how I didn't get the role in Power Rangers the Movie.
|
|
|
My goodness, I'm shocked!
|
|
Me too! I mean, that's crazy!
|
|
|
On that note, I want everyone in our audience to check under their seats because Colette has graciously gifted everyone a link to her Venmo account because she is in a lot of credit card debt and needs the money!
|
|
*cheering*

|
|
| After tapping on Colette's exclamation mark
|
|
Colette, I'm super-excited to be working with you on a live action feature based on your unusual and surprising story of trying to make it in Hollywood!
|
|
|
I really don't think it's that surprising.
|
|
So modest — I love it! Now let's start with you telling your story to Brandon here so he can write the screenplay.
|
|
Actually my name is Jeremy.
|
|
Oh, I didn't mean to hire you. I thought you were Brandon. Well, I'm sure you'll do a good job.
|
|
|
So...my dad was always busy with work, and my mom was always busy taking care of him. I tried to get his attention by putting on little plays where I'd pretend to be a princess.
|
|
|
All he cared about was watching football, so then I'd cut the power from the house and then do the plays.

|
|
|
Colette, I'm gonna stop you right there. Everything in your life aside from when you were in Hollywood is boring and terrible.
|
|
|
Let's start with when you arrive in Hollywood after hitchhiking with the man you later learned was a serial killer!
|
|
What? That's not what happened. I just drove my car to Hollywood.
|
|
|
BORING!
|
|
Serial killer! I can work with that! It pretty much writes itself.
|
|
|
Then in that case, you're fired. Someone bring in Brandon and get him to do it for half.
|

|
|
| After tapping on Colette's exclamation mark
|
|
|
People, it is exciting to be here for the press conference announcing Colette starring in the movie that will be based on her life: "A Springfield Star is Born"!
|
|
|
Gosh, I'm so excited to be here, Opal!
|
|
Colette, you're the best! We love you.
|
|
Not so fast, kids. Brockman here with breaking news!
|
|
In a Channel 6 exclusive, we have learned that while in Hollywood, Colette shot a tourism commercial...for Shelbyville!
|
|
*gasp*
|
|
|
Wait! I can explain! I was desperate for money!
|
|
Let's roll the tape.
|
|
Want to get away from it all while in a town steeped in good, old-fashioned American charm but without burning tire fires and toxic lakes?
|
|
Then visit scenic Shelbyville for the delightful vacation of a lifetime.
|
|
And be sure to take Interstate 72 on your way in to avoid Springfield!
|
|
Colette, you're the worst! We hate you!

Honey, I don't even know who you are anymore.
|
|
|
But I needed the money! I hate Shelbyville!
|
|
|
Sweetie, you're done in this town.
|
|
|
Now what do I do?
|
|
|
Allow me to buy the documentary rights to the story of your fall from grace. People eat stuff like that up on streaming!
|
|
|
On one condition.
|
|
|
Okay, you can star in it.
|
|
|
Great! I was just going to ask to have approval on what the poster looks like!
