The Bart Wants What IT Wants - Plot

Plot

At the beginning of the episode, the Simpsons are seen in their car being chased by Olympic administrators in a helicopter. It turns out that Homer has stolen the Olympic torch because the television broadcast of the Olympics preempt his favorite shows once again. When Marge finally gives the torch to the administrators, the sight of its flame causes them to crash. On their way home, the family go to a private school-held carnival, where Bart meets Greta, Rainier Wolfcastle's daughter (voiced by Reese Witherspoon). Greta develops a crush on the oblivious Bart, and the whole family begins enjoying the royal treatment her father, Rainier, provides them. However, Lisa discovers Bart not taking Greta seriously, after skipping her school dance to watch Principal Skinner bomb at an open mic comedy night. Upon Lisa's advice, Bart breaks up with Greta, who does not take it well.

After losing her, Bart discovers that he actually wanted to be with Greta and goes to her house to ask her to come back to him. To his surprise, Greta has already started a new relationship with Milhouse. Greta goes to Canada with Milhouse during her father's movie shooting, and Bart follows her to Toronto with his family. At the movie set, Bart confronts Milhouse and they get into a fight, crashing into sets and ruining props. They end up in front of Greta, demanding her to choose between them, and Greta turns both boys down due to loss of interest in the two. The episode ends with the boys reconciling and joining Canada's basketball team.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
    why are they no help to me now
    I want to make
    something imagined, not recalled?
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
