Changes: Manacek

Revision as of 21:14, 22 July 2018

Manacek is a detective from the 1970s. He makes his first appearance in "Homer Is Where the Art Isn't".

History

At Gavelby's Auction House, Homer and Mr. Burns lose to Megan Matheson at bidding for Joan Miró's painting The Poetess, which Homer is obsessed with. As soon as the painting arrives at her home, Megan finds out that it has been stolen. Detective Manacek is promoted to solve the case.

Manacek goes to Megan's estate due to insuring the painting for doubling the price she paid of thirty million dollars. Megan denies the accusation and sends Manacek to Burns' mansion. Manacek proclaims that he can't stand of losing a bid to a woman, but also dismisses the accusation and Megan sends Manacek to expose the last suspect as Homer due to the obsession he showed about it. Homer demonstrates to him how much he wants the painting at the Power Plant. That evening, Marge goes to Manacek's apartment, Brick Townhomes to convince him that Homer is innocent, but he says they would only talk at dinner. So Marge invites him to the Simpson house.

After dinner, Homer becomes worried when the pair starts talking, and Bart and Marge explain how Homer becomes attracred to the painting at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, even dreaming about it at night. When the museum closed due to being out of funds, Springfielders protested while Mayor Quimby realized the cuts, including the cut of 1/3 of the Springfield Police Department with Eddie having been fired.

The scene returns to the start of the episode where the bids took place, and Homer tries to steal the painting. After the story, Homer takes off, but Manacek finds him at the museum where he tells Homer that he is innocent because he finds the latter positively stupid to steal anything. Manacek then reveals that Megan was in fact the culprit, having exchanged the security guards by twins hired by her, to simulate the heist. Manacek then reveals it was already stolen by Burns when he built an identical auction house next to the original one and stole it from the vault.

After Burns was arrested at his mansion along with Megan, Manacek reveals that the painting is nothing other than Lisa's book bag, so it wouldn't go to millionaires' houses hidden away from people who loves them, like Homer. At the end, the painting is located at the Springfield Arena Football Arena, built with the money from selling the public arts.

During the credits of the episode, there are different shots of Manacek as if they are part of a crime drama TV show.

+At [[Gavelby's Auction House]], [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and [[Mr. Burns]] lose to Megan Matheson at bidding for {{w|Joan Miró}}'s painting ''The Poetess'', which Homer is obsessed with. As soon as the painting arrives at her home, Megan finds out that it has been stolen. Detective Manacek is promoted to solve the case.
-Manacek was called in after the painting ''The Poetess'' was stolen between being sold at [[Gavelby's Auction House]] and arriving at [[Megan Matheson]]'s house. [[Chief Wiggum]] wasn't happy since he was being brought in rather than him being allowed to solve the case. Manacek then went to visit Megan Matheson and questioned her about it, finding out that she had insured the painting for double the cost. Manacek then flirted with Megan, telling her he could give her a "better workout".
-Manacek then went to visit [[Mr. Burns]], who was also a suspect in the case. Manacek found out that Burns couldn't stand being outbid by a woman, which hit a nerve with Burns. Mr. Burns then told Manacek that [[Homer]] took the painting, so Manacek went to visit Homer at the [[Nuclear Power Plant]].

-At the Power Plant, Manacek revealed that he knew Homer was obsessed with the painting, which he found out from [[Lenny]]. Homer told Manacek that he was obsessed with the painting and he would do anything to have it. Manacek thought there was more to Homer's story and he was going to figure it out. That night, [[Marge]] visited Manacek to try and convince Manacek that Homer was innocent. Manacek told Marge that she could convince him over dinner, so Marge brought him to her house to have dinner with the family, which annoyed Manacek.
+After dinner, Homer becomes worried when the pair starts talking, and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] explain how Homer becomes attracred to the painting at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, even dreaming about it at night. When the museum closed due to being out of funds, Springfielders protested while [[Mayor Quimby]] realized the cuts, including the cut of 1/3 of the Springfield Police Department with Eddie having been fired.
-Marge told Manacek that Homer was quick to panic, which is why he was cowering away from Manacek. When Manacek was hitting on Marge, [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] told him to back off. Bart then told Manacek the story of how Homer became obsessed with the painting. Marge told Manacek that Homer just couldn't stop thinking about the painting. Manacek thought there was issues with the story as Homer didn't seem like the kind of person who would be interested in art.
-Whilst the family were telling Manacek the story, Homer fled from the house. Manacek then told Marge that once he sent Homer to prison, she'd be "kind of single". After Marge told Manacek that Homer could not have stolen the painting, Manacek figured out who the thief was. He then went to the [[Springfield Museum of Fine Arts]] where he knew Homer would be. He told Homer that he knew he was innocent as Homer was too dumb to steal the painting. Manacek then assembled all the suspects and interested parties to the museum where he revealed to everyone that Megan Matheson stole the painting. He knocked out Megan after she pulled a gun on him and then revealed that this was actually a fake painting, as Mr. Burns had stolen the real painting. He then knocked Burns out after he pulled a gun on him.

-Manacek then found the painting at [[Burns Manor]], only to reveal that it was also a fake, it was actually Lisa's gift shop tote bag. Lisa then gave the painting back after Manacek told everyone that it went back to the city. At the [[Springfield Arena Football Arena]], Manacek asked Marge if he would have a shot if things were different and Marge slapped him.

-At some point after all this, Manacek filed his invoice for $1,500,000 with the city. He also hung out with Bart for a bit, had a wrestling match with [[Cletus]], helped arrest [[Professor Frink]], had a date with [[Miss Hoover]], attended a Sex Addicts Anonymous session, won an award for Polish-American Man of the Year, visited a salon with [[Agnes Skinner]] and an [[old lady]], got handed a baby that looked like him by a woman, had a fencing match with [[Sideshow Mel]] and attended a DJ concert with Homer Simpson and [[DJ Daddy Towers]].
