Quotes 

• Llewellyn Sinclair : I am not an easy director to work for. While directing "Hats Off to Hanukkah," I reduced more than one cast member to tears. Did I expect too much from fourth graders?

  Llewellyn Sinclair : The review, "Play Enjoyed By All", speaks for itself.

• Llewellyn Sinclair : [to the cast]  Perhaps we are all a little mad, we who don the cap a bells and tread beneath the proscenium arch. But tonight, you will all be transformed from dead-eyed suburbanites into white-hot grease fires of pure entertainment!

  [to Otto] 

  Llewellyn Sinclair : Except you. You're not working out, I'll be playing your part.

  Otto : Drag.

• Llewellyn Sinclair : Hello! I am Llewellyn Sinclair. I have directed three plays in my career, and I have had three heart attacks. That's how much I care, I'm planning for a fourth.

  Apu : I am Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. I play Steve.

  Marge : I'm Marge Simpson, I'll be playing Blanche. I made some peanut butter brownies for everyone.

  [Sinclair takes one and eats it] 

  Sinclair : Well, would anyone else like a bite of banality?

  Chief Wiggum : I would.

• Ms. Sinclair : Mrs. Simpson... do you know what a child is saying when it's reaching for the bottle?

  Marge : ...Baba?

  Ms. Sinclair : She's saying "I am a leech!"

• [Marge is rehearsing the musical of A Streetcar Named Desire] 

  Homer : Marge, your ride is here!

  Marge : Homer, it'll just be a few minutes more!

  Ned Flanders : You're a dame and I'm a fella!

  Marge : Stanley stop, or I'll tell Stella!

  Llewellyn Sinclair : Marge, Marge! I am asking you for white hot rage, and you're giving me a hissy fit!

  Homer : Marge, can I have some change for the candy machine?

  Llewellyn Sinclair : [throwing a load of change on the floor]  Oh, HERE!

  Homer : Hey, there's some quarters in here!
