Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

Between June 18, 2021 and July 14, 2021
Siddmartha Excuse me, I'm looking for a quiet place to meditate and focus on my Zen. Would you happen to know of anywhere?
Ned Whenever I've got a yen for some Zen, I find the First Church of Springfield serves up a heapin' helpin' of solitude.
Siddmartha I don't mean to offend, but I find churches distracting...
Ned - Suspicious Well, since you seem to be some kind of devil-worshiping pagan, perhaps you'd prefer a nice séance circle? Maybe a cauldron to make your Buddha brew?
Siddmartha - Annoyed First off, if I did make Buddha brew, which I do not, then I would call it "Brewda".
Siddmartha - Annoyed Secondly, you seem to be confusing Buddhism with witchcraft. Not that there is anything wrong with being a Wiccan.
Ned - Shocked *gasp* That's Wiccan talk! Spare my children and be gone Wiccan!

Lisa - Eye Roll Unfortunately, he's a classic self-starter.
Siddmartha *sigh* Noted. Do you know of a good place to meditate around here?
Lisa Hmm...the public library is pretty empty at this time of...always. And the vegan buffet is quiet. If it isn't out of business. Oh wait, you could sit under the Bodhi tree!
Siddmartha - Surprised You have a Bodhi tree in Springfield?
Lisa - Happy We will in about four seconds!

Siddmartha - Meditating The spiritual energy from this tree is incredible. I can already feel my spirit settling into a state of zen.
Gil - Happy Step right up to the Crazy Princess Viewing Area! Just five dollars, folks!
Siddmartha - Meditating Peak Ugh, great. Capitalism. Hey, shouldn't I get a cut? No, no. Focus, Siddmartha.
Gil - Happy Folks, for an extra five dollars you get to approach and try to distract her, so she loses her focus!
King Gautama - Happy Ooh, fun. It's like the guards at Buckingham Palace. Can I use a stick?
Siddmartha Dad?
King Gautama - Happy Hi, honey! I paid five dollars to support your tree protest.
Siddmartha - Annoyed Ugh, Dad. I'm not protesting! I'm meditating!
Siddmartha - Meditating *closes eyes* No more interruptions. No more interruptions.
Gil - Surprised Oh, dear God, a bear has wandered out of the woods!
Gil - Surprised Everyone, finish paying me and then flee for your lives! Or...fifty bucks to fight the bear.
King Gautama Do you take traveler's checks? Or discourses on transcendence?
Gil - Selling Wait, the bear is heading toward the princess. Place your bets on whether she survives!
Meditating Bear - Meditating Ommm...

Siddmartha What you witnessed here today was the power of enlightenment. Seek inner peace, and you, too, can have this.

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2
Lenny Wow, seeing that meditating bear really got the town into Buddhism.
Carl Yeah, I've never seen people so friendly, and relaxed, and using so much incense.
Lisa - Sad All of my usual meditation spots are packed. Unfortunately, because of bear attacks, so are the emergency rooms.
Carl Yeah, Siddmartha, you should probably tell people to stop taunting wild animals.
Siddmartha A small price to pay for enlightenment. Isn't it wonderful seeing so many people strive for it, though?
Lenny Yeah, seeing everyone on the Buddhist path is nice and all, but it feels like something is missing.
Siddmartha The overwhelming urge to numb your existence with self-destructive behaviors?
Lenny No, I definitely still have that.
Lisa - Sad It's the feeling of moral superiority.
Lenny - Surprised That's it! I barely knew it was there until it was gone.
Siddmartha You should be celebrating! We travel this path to seek enlightenment and help others find it as well.
Lisa - Sad I know. But I've been trying to reform Springfield my whole life and you managed it in a couple of days.
Carl Don't be jealous. What are you, in your mid-twenties? There's still time.
Lisa - Annoyed I'm eight years old! And I'm not jealous. Jealousy is not on the path to enlightenment.
Siddmartha Well said, Lisa. Although, from my current state of enlightenment, you do seem kinda jealous.
Lisa - Shocked ...
Lenny C'mon, Carl, let's check on the bear.

Bart Apu, my man. I'll take a Squishee, a bag of purple zingers, and some sugar shockers.
Apu - Sad Oh, yes Mr. Bart, sir. Thank you so much for patronizing my establishment. It is most welcome and appreciated.
Bart - Confused You feeling okay? You called me MISTER Bart.
Apu Oh, yes. I am sorry, but the Kwik-E-Mart is just not doing so well these days. You are the only person who has purchased anything all day.
Bart - Confused But this place is packed.
Apu - Sad That's just the overflow line to get a massage at Madame and Masseur next door.
Quimby - Annoyed I've never seen it backed up all the way to the jerky aisle! This Buddhism thing is ruining the town!
Siddmartha Have you tried embracing the tenets of Buddhism yourselves?
Apu I'm Hindu.
Quimby And I'm a hedonist.
Siddmartha It takes all kinds.
Bart Well, I just stopped in for a sugar fix on my way to church, so I'll be on my way. I can't wait to see how worked up Reverend Lovejoy is over this Buddhism stuff.
Apu That sounds more fun than not selling anything here. I will come too.
Quimby - Angry Ugh, the line just got longer somehow! I'll come, too.
Bart - Confused So we're all going to the church then?
Siddmartha - Annoyed I'm not!

Rev. Lovejoy And he who worships false idols shall be cast into Hell to burn for eternity.
Bart Lovejoy is really spittin' fire and crappin' brimstone today.
Lisa - Deadpan I don't know what good it's going to do. There's almost nobody here.
Rev. Lovejoy And those who get all new-agey while sitting criss-cross applesauce shall surely face the wrath of God.
Siddmartha - Annoyed That feels oddly specific.
Apu He's preaching to the choir. In fact, he's ONLY preaching to the choir. There's no one else here.
Barney Man, this sermon is really misaligning my chi. Time for some incense and a massage.
Quimby - Angry And there goes the choir. We have to do something about this.
Rev. Lovejoy - Annoyed I agree. Buddhism is destroying what this town was founded on. The spirit of Christianity.
Apu And consumerism.
Quimby And massages with short lines.
Rev. Lovejoy All in favor of banding together to destroy this scourge once and for all?
Siddmartha - Annoyed You realize I'm sitting right here?
Apu Yes, but you don't get a vote.
Siddmartha - Angry That doesn't seem fair.
Quimby - Sly Welcome to voting in this country.

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4
Quimby A good scandal can bring down a movement in a New York minute. Except in New York. There it takes longer.
Apu But this Siddmartha girl is so virtuous. We'll never be able to link a scandal to her.
Quimby Well...she has a brother.
Apu That was easy.
Rev. Lovejoy How do we get this brother to come to Springfield?
Quimby We could offer him a scholarship to Kathmandu U.
Apu I hear it's not the party school it used to be.
Siddmartha - Sad You men are plotting the downfall of my movement, and I'm still standing here.
Quimby - Stern Well now whose fault is that?
Siddmartha - Annoyed Fine, I'm going!
Rev. Lovejoy So, it is decided? We are on a crusade to crush this little girl?
Quimby - Deadpan Ooh, yeah let's not talk about crushing children. For PR purposes, let's just call it...quelling the enlightenment uprising.
Rev. Lovejoy I would also avoid the use of the word crusade. How about calling it a "campaign"?
Quimby Those cost too much. Maybe a "quest objective"?
Apu Too inside. Let's call it a "coalition".
Rev. Lovejoy Bingo! Now, excuse me, I have to set up the church for bingo.

Siddmartha - Sad Yes, I know.
Advisor Frink Like remember on your birthday when you invited all the cool girls from your class and you wore that new dress but then the Prince pushed your face into your birthday cake and you were covered in icing with the frosting and the smearing and hoyvin...
