Plot

Krusty is hosting a bachelor auction to raise money to help the fire brigade buy a fire engine. The available bachelors on display are Barney, the Sea Captain, Moe and many other available, yet undesirable Springfield bachelors. Marge nominates Apu as another available bachelor. Apu, at first nervous, speaks about his having a doctorate in computer science, running his own business, being a good cook, preferring to listen rather than talk and building furniture. All these qualities are just what the single and divorced women in the auction are looking for and soon many of them are bidding high for Apu. Finally, five "desperate chicks" pool their money together and Apu is sold to them for $926.

He goes out on a date with Miss Hoover, winning her a giant stuffed toy panda, and then clog dancing with Luann Van Houten. Soon he has many girlfriends and is enjoying every minute of it. At the Kwik-E-Mart, he reads one of his love letters to Homer. The next letter, however, is from his mother in India. When he opens the envelope, a lotus flower fall out and Apu panics, because he knows that this is a symbol of his arranged marriage, made when he was only 8 years old to Manjula, the daughter of a family friend. Apu, so far enjoying his bachelorhood and in no mood to get married, asks Homer for advice. Homer tells Apu to tell his mother that he is already married. Apu, at first reluctant to lie to his mother, decides to do the right thing. So he calls his mother in India and tells her that he is already married to someone in Springfield.

Apu, thinking that he's just dodged a bullet, starts living it up by partying and changing his hairstyle many times (Homer approves all of them). The next day, while Homer tries to find a winning lottery ticket by cheating, Apu is exhausted and dozes on his counter at the Kwik-E-Mart. He's had a long wild night and is understandably tired. Suddenly, he sees his mother stepping out of a taxi and walking towards the store. He panics and wonders what to do. He is bought some time, as his mother trips and falls to the ground. Homer comes up with the idea of Apu pretending that Marge is his wife. Out of options, Apu decides to go for that idea. He welcomes his mother, but she wants to see his "wife". She pulls him by his ear and drags him out.


At the Simpson residence, Homer convinces Marge at the last minute to pretend to be Apu's wife. Marge, as usual, disapproves but decides to do it for Apu's sake. Apu's mother is not too happy with him having married someone besides the one she picked for him. Marge introduces her to Bart, Lisa and Maggie as their kids, again much to Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilon's distaste. For the comic book series of the same name, see Bart Simpson comics. ...

Meanwhile, at home, Apu sleeps on the floor of Marge's bedroom, while she sleeps on the bed. He tells her that his mother will only be staying for a few more days. At breakfast, Lisa and Bart have a rather uncomfortable chat with "Grandma" Nahasapeemapetilon.


At the old folks home, Homer is enjoying being Cornelius, using an electric wheelchair, drinking Lays liquid potato chips and getting turned over by the nurse. However, when the real Cornelius Talmidge returns, he takes off. He returns home and gets into bed with Marge, with Apu sleeping on the floor. Suddenly, Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilon enters to say goodbye, but is shocked to see Homer and Marge in bed and Apu on the floor. Tired of the whole charade, Apu tells her the truth. His mother now declares that the arranged marriage will proceed as planned. She calls Manjula and tells her to get to Springfield right away.

Apu feels depressed and Homer takes him to Moe's to cheer him up. He has only 7 hours of bachelorhood left. Finally, the wedding is underway. Apu is still having second thoughts and feels only God can stop this wedding. Homer, on hearing this, gets an idea. At the wedding, which is held in the Simpson's yard, Lisa hands out flower garlands, while Bart makes the ceremonial fire sacred by throwing in pages from the Bible. Reverend Lovejoy is there to officiate, apparently under the impression that Hinduism is a denomination of Christianity, since he declares of the ceremony, "Well, Christ is Christ." Apu enters on an elephant unenthusiastically, but when he sees Manjula for the first time in many years, he realizes how beautiful she really is and feels a little less reluctant. Apu asks about her favourite food, book and movie; the answer to all three is "Fried Green Tomatoes" and finally, Apu loses all his apprehensions about marrying Manjula.

Homer, poorly disguised as Ganesh, tries to stop the wedding, but a burly Indian chases him up a tree. Apu and Manjula go around the sacred fire and Lovejoy marries them. Later, as Apu and Manjula dance, she tells him that he must buy a house and get a haircut, but reveals that she was only kidding.

Trivia

  • In the original broadcast of this episode, the book Bart uses for kindling over the fire said "Bible". In all reruns, this is changed to "Hymns".
  • The episode title is a play on the 1947 Peter Godfrey film The Two Mrs. Carrolls.
  • The hair dressers Apu visits is called Hairy Shearers, a play on Harry Shearer one of the principal actors of the series.
  • According to the Nahasapeemapetilon family chart, Apu has two brothers (including Sanjay), and he is the oldest out of his brothers.
  • The Foreigner song "Hot Blooded" plays over Apu's bachelor binge.
  • According to Apu's account of his and Manjula's betrothal, at the time of the episode, Apu is 28 years old. However, he states that he last saw Manjula twenty years ago, which could've taken place later than the scene shown (as evidenced in "Much Apu About Nothing" when Apu was in his late teens).
  • According to the DVD commentary of the episode, the scene where Moe walks on and off the stage without breaking his stride was loosely based on a moment that occurred during a stand up show of comedian Red Foxx. During a show in Las Vegas, Redd Foxx came on stage to the Sanford and Son theme song, only to find that there were very few people in the audience (about 8 or 9). Foxx replied angrily that he refused to do a show with such a small audience and walked off the stage almost immediately. The house orchestra, puzzled by Foxx's leave simply played him off with the Sanford and Son theme song again. This incident was also referenced in the episode "Trash of the Titans", although the reference is much more blatant in that episode.
