The Declaration part 1:
Quimby: The, er, Renaissance Pleasure Fair is next week, my good fop.
Thomas Jefferson: That is good to know, as I believe the Renaissance provided much fair pleasure. My name is Jefferson.
Quimby: Thomas Jefferson?
Thomas Jefferson: You know me?
Quimby: Yes. You’re on the $2 bill.
Thomas Jefferson: Memorialized in currency you say? What a fine tribute.
Quimby: Well, er, I’m not sure it’s as big a deal as you think.
Thomas Jefferson: And who might you be?
Quimby: Joe Quimby, Mayor of Springfield. Hence the, er, sash.
Thomas Jefferson: Springfield, eh. May I guess in which state?
Quimby: If you, er, must…
• Make Thomas Jefferson Guess Where Springfield Is – 4 hours
• Make Quimby Stand Around Awkwardly – 4 hours
Quimby: Are you going to make your guess, er, out loud?
Thomas Jefferson: No, I’m convinced I know the answer.
Quimby: Is that, er, so?
Thomas Jefferson: Are you questioning my knowledge of the nation I helped found? Sir, I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.
Quimby: I didn’t hear “geography scholar” in there.
The Declaration part 2:
Thomas Jefferson: I’m basing my guess on your quaint regional accent which I find reminiscent of John Adams.
Quimby: Yeah well, er, it’s more like a later President.
Thomas Jefferson: Oh, you must mean his son John Quincy.
Quimby: I’ve been mayor for over 35 years and I’ve never been compared to, er, John Quincy Adams.
Thomas Jefferson: You’ve been mayor for over 35 years?
Quimby: That’s right. Diamond Joe Quimby’s motto is “Leadership you count on. And on and on and on.”
Thomas Jefferson: That sounds more like tyranny than leadership!
Quimby: Who’ve you been talking to?
Thomas Jefferson: Citizens of Springfield! Hearken to my voice! When in the course of human events…
• Make Thomas Jefferson Declare a Declaration – 4 hours
• Make Quimby Run Off – 4 hours
Thomas Jefferson: …we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor!
Cletus: Boy, you sure talk purdy!
Thomas Jefferson: Thank you, sir. What became of your Mayor?
Cletus: Quimby? He done did a runner whilst you were self-evidenting your truths.
Thomas Jefferson: Splendid. I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny.
Cletus: That’s just what I’m always swearin’ against with Brandine. But she don’t like when I swear.
The Declaration part 3:
Cletus: Say, you’re the feller on the nickel, ain’t ya?
Thomas Jefferson: Currency AND coinage?! What an even finer tribute!
Cletus: Well, er, I’m not sure it’s as big a deal as you think.
Thomas Jefferson: Tell me more about my modern legacy.
Cletus: Shucks, y’all better go talk to the folks up at the school fer that…
Cletus: …’cause you is wearin’ high stockins and buckled shoes and that ain’t no modern leg-I-see. *runs off*
• Make Thomas Jefferson Head to Springfield Elementary – 4 hours
Skinner: Thomas Jefferson?
Thomas Jefferson: Ahh, you must be a scholar of our nation’s founding.
Skinner: Not exactly. Mother made me shell out two grand for Hamilton tickets.
Thomas Jefferson: Hamilton? As in Alexander?
Skinner: Yes, it’s musical theater. But I don’t think you’d like it.
Thomas Jefferson: No? But I adore theater. I saw Moliere’s original work in Paris. George Washington and I met at the theater. What makes you say I wouldn’t like it?
Skinner: Well, um… you don’t come off too well in it…
The Declaration part 4:
Lisa: Principal Skinner, who are you talking to?
Skinner: Oh, thank goodness, Lisa Simpson, this is Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson: Enchanté, mademoiselle.
Lisa: *giggles*
Skinner: Lisa, maybe you can explain to Mr. Jefferson how he is perceived in the modern world. *runs off*
Thomas Jefferson: Just a minute. You called him “Principal”. Am I to be lectured by a child instead of by the school’s master?
Lisa: Yes, well, maybe we should start with that word: “master”.
• Make Lisa Wonder Why This Always Happens to Her – 4 hours
• Make Thomas Jefferson Slowly Stop Smiling – 4 hours
Thomas Jefferson: This is confounding. Most confounding.
Lisa: I’m sorry, President Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson: Does it count for naught that I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia?
Lisa: Let’s just say, there are other complicating factors.
The Declaration part 5:
Thomas Jefferson: No, this won’t do at all.
Lisa: Mr. President?
Thomas Jefferson: I must redeem my image in the eyes of modern Americans. Do people know of the Louisiana Purchase, which more than doubled the size of our great nation?
Lisa: Sure, but at what cost to the indigenous peoples?
Thomas Jefferson: The who now?
Lisa: Oh boy.
• Make Lisa Explain Native American History – 4 hours
• Make Thomas Jefferson Become Increasingly Annoyed – 4 hours
Thomas Jefferson: So you’re saying that one of my greatest achievements as president is now viewed as brutal colonialism?
Lisa: Well…not to everyone.
Thomas Jefferson: No?
Lisa: Most Americans don’t know or care enough to think about it in the least.
Thomas Jefferson: Aaaargh!
The Declaration part 6:
Thomas Jefferson: I have a solution! I’ll make another great purchase and then my legacy will be restored.
Lisa: Uh, what are you thinking of purchasing?
Thomas Jefferson: Why, property, of course! The greatest investment anyone can make.
Lisa: I don’t know… Becoming a real estate tycoon may not be the best way for a former president to win universal acclaim these days.
Thomas Jefferson: How would you spend my money?
Lisa: Hmm, for the cost of a decent-sized piece of property in Springfield… you could get two tickets to Hamilton.
• Make Thomas Jefferson Look for Another Great Purchase – 4 hours
Thomas Jefferson: I can’t live here. The game developers didn’t create Monticello, so I have no home.
Lisa: Oh, don’t worry about it. You’ll spend nearly all your time wandering around the streets or hiding in one of the Brown Houses.
Thomas Jefferson: But I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father—
Lisa: *runs off*
