"Escape is impossible. My name is Cesar. This is my nephew, Ugolin. You may find life here at the chateau hard, but if you shut up and do exactly what we say, the time will pass more quickly." -Introducing himself & his nephew to Bart in "The Crepes of Wrath"

"I know a surefire way to get the americans", "Marco", Homer responds "polo" -Cesar in "To Courier with Love"

César is one of two hostile French wine makers who force Bart to be their slave. His nephew is Ugolin.

History

The two are the owners and only employees (aside from Maurice the Donkey) of the Chateau Maison wine orchard. They use the foreign exchange student program to get Bart from the U.S. and have him work for them as their slave, to replace their donkey. They are very mean men and they give Bart very little food, force him to sleep on the ground, and make him taste the Anti-Freeze filled wine.

They had not waited long enough for their wine to ferment, so had decided to add Anti-Freeze to it for flavor. They got Bart to taste-test it (making sure he hadn't gone blind after drinking it), then sent Bart out to get some more Anti-Freeze. This turned out to be their undoing: Once Bart realized he had subliminally learnt fluent French, he told a passing police officer everything, and César and Ugolin were arrested. It is assumed they went to a French prison.

Later they are seen watching TV in an apartment, implying that they were either released from jail or placed on parole. [1]
