Fakes His Citizenship!
Homer,
you are asleep at your post! Now go change the expiration dates
on the dairy products! - Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Apu
Nahasapeemapetilon, Ph.D. (briefly known legally as Slime Q.
Slimedog; see The Sweetest Apu) is a fictional character featured
on The Simpsons television series. Voiced by Hank Azaria.
He
is proprietor of the Springfield Kwik-E-Mart (a subsidiary of
Nordyne Defense Dynamics), a local convenience store. An
immigrant from India, he is, like most Simpsons characters, a
caricature of a common stereotype — in his case, that of
the South Asian convenience-store owner. His most defining
characteristics are his exaggerated Indian English, and his
indefatigable immigrant work ethic. His catchphrase is "Thank
you, come again!" — cheerfully and dutifully repeated
to customers (no matter how unpleasant) after each transaction,
even after a robbery.
His
first name is an homage to the main character in the Apu trilogy
directed by Satyajit Ray. Many of his mannerisms, his
intelligence, and even the appearance of his parents mirror this
character. His surname, Nahasapeemapetilon, is a
morphophonological blend of the name Pahasadee Napetilon, the
full name of a schoolmate of Simpsons writer Jeff Martin.
