"Principal Charming" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Barney

Homer is awakened at 8:00am to the phone ringing. When he picks up the line, it's Barney calling from his place. He just wanted to call about a brand new barbecue joint that's opened up in Springfield, Greasy Joe's Bottemless Bar-B-Q Pit. The amazing part? It's all you can eat! Homer heads downstairs to ask Marge about the possibility of going on Saturday night and she decides to call her sisters to look after the kids.

She does, however, show a bit of worry as Homer said he'd limit his pork servings to six per week.

Answer: A wedding

When Marge calls her sisters at the DMV, they say that unfortunately, they have plans on Saturday evening to go to a colleague's wedding. While Marge understands and prepares to leave it, her sisters say that they'll probably be out of there early on.
When Saturday rolls around, Selma feels horrible. Their colleague may have ended up with her instead of his new wife had Patty not been rude to him, forcing him out of her seat in the break room at work.
That evening, when Selma sings Lisa to sleep, it becomes clear that she's looking for a man and eager to find true love.

Answer: Patty

When Marge and Homer return home after a filling meal, Homer has no choice but to call Barney. In the kitchen, Selma talks to Marge alone about her anxieties. She begs Marge to find her a man before it's too late. That night, Marge wakes Homer up from his slumber to recall the possibility of a favour (for when he took the reins of their last vacation plans and went somewhere only he wanted to go).

She says that she wants him to find Selma a husband and Homer finds himself confused about which sister is which.

When she differentiates between the two, Homer assumes that Selma is celibate, but it's actually Patty who's celibate; Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Homer agrees to the plan.

Answer: BART

In class, Bart and Martin team up to complete a science lab for Mrs. Krabappel and both receive a beaker of sodium tetrasulfate. When Bart asks what it does, Martin replies that it's used in film, fast food, and most notably as a herbicide. Bart gets an idea.
At work, Homer goes into 'man search mode' and tries to sort through the pros and cons of his co-workers, people at the Kwik-E-Mart, and elsewhere. The process proves tough and Homer wonders why it's so hard to find Mr. Right.
In the school cafeteria, Principal Skinner smells sodium tetrasulfate bonding with chlorophyll and heads to a bell tower to find Bart's name spelled out in forty-foot high burnt letters. Busted.

Answer: Lives at home

Skinner confronts Bart with his misdeeds and wonders why the boy would ever think he would get away with his vandalism. When Skinner forces Bart to call his father he ends up calling Moe's Tavern (where Homer is anyways) and prank calls asking for 'Homer Sexual'.

This leads to a fair bit of yelling before Skinner sets the record straight and brings Homer in for a chat. Skinner proposes that Bart fix Groundskeeper Willie's award-winning schoolyard by replanting the grass seeds. Homer doesn't really listen to this though.

Instead Homer analyzes Skinner and figures that he's a good suitor for Selma. As a ruse, Homer invites Skinner over for dinner.

Answer: False

When Skinner arrives at the Simpsons' place for dinner, Bart answers and politely lets him in. The Bouvier sisters wait in the kitchen and Selma is too nervous to go out so Patty decides to bring out some appetizers alone. Surprisingly, Skinner ends up falling for Patty at first sight even though Homer was supposed to push him onto Selma. Over their meal, Selma is visibly distraught while Patty is clearly uninterested.

When Patty is invited to a screening of "Space Mutants: Part V" the following night, Selma forces her to accept. Selma goes so far as to cancel their night playing Hearts with their mother since it's Patty's first date in twenty-five years.

Answer: Revolving restaurant

Bart starts sowing seeds at school the very next day and as he paces the schoolyard, Skinner asks what his aunt's favourite candies may be-- cherry cordials. Upon hearing this, he allows Bart to leave as he feels he's learned his lesson. Groundskeeper Willie feels as though Bart will be back soon. That evening, Skinner shows up at the Bouvier sisters' apartment with a box of candy and arrives to find Patty dressed up and ready to get the night over with.

Their first stop, however, is a revolving restaurant where, as Skinner says, "food always tastes better when you're revolving." Before the meal arrives, Patty starts to feel better about the date, especially when Skinner berates a past student for doing a poor job.

Answer: Taekwondo

Back at the Simpson household, Marge and Selma spend time cutting coupons and Marge says that there are still plenty of fish in the sea. Skinner, meanwhile, tries to make a move on Patty at the movie theater. When Patty jumps at a scary part it only gets easier.

Afterwards, both are happy that they dislike the same things and they end their night on a good note. When Skinner tries to get another date out of Patty she initially resists but ends up allowing him to escort her on a grocery shopping trip that Thursday as she has no other free time (as she has her microwave cookery and taekwondo classes on successive nights).

Answer: Bart

Finishing her date, Patty heads into her apartment to find a jealous Selma waiting. Selma wants to hear every detail and Patty simplifies it for her. Successive dates seem to get better and better and Selma starts to worry. At Springfield Elementary, Skinner's love for Patty starts to get in the way of his job.

The students are becoming more and more unruly and he's overlooking their bad ways so much so that it's destroying the property-- even Bart's spray painted graffiti is unable to phase the man.

In fact, Skinner confides in Bart and says he's planning to propose to Patty. He even takes Bart to pick out a ring at the jewelery store in the Springfield Mall. At Moe's, Homer worries about finding yet another man for Selma. When Barney overhears he tries to get involved, especially since he's not a picky man. Later, when Selma asks Bart to help cheer her up, he tells her about the proposal.

She decides to say yes to Barney since she has to act fast.

Answer: No

Principal Skinner brings Patty to the school's belltower (carrying her up each stair with her blindfolded the entire way) to surprise her. Using sodium tetrasulfate he wrote the words 'MARRY ME PATTY' on the school lawn before opening the box for the engagement ring.

She admits to loving Skinner but despite this she feels as though she can never leave her sister behind. They part ways amicably, but Skinner breaks down as she drives off. Skinner vows to get his school back in order while Patty saves Selma from her horrible date at Moe's. The next day, Bart starts sowing the seeds to replant the grass at school.
