What's this chapter?

I can't recall the chapter where Homer, Lenny and Carl perform as actors, acting as students looking for a job (in the nuclear plant) (One of my favorites is when Homers says "nuclear energy" imitating Burns...)

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

You're describing part of the first act of "D'oh-in' in the Wind (AABF02)," and "nuclear power!" is oft-quoted by me.

If you look at the headers of the original post, the OP seems to be in a non-English speaking country (I think it's a Spanish-speaking country, but I'm not certain which one). Is the word that Spanish uses where we say "episode" also equivalent to "chapter"?

Yes, thanks for bearing with me. I'm in Spain, and as you correctly pointed out, my mother tongue is spanish... you know, from time to time is inevitable to make some "literal" translation... And you're right, in spanish we generally call it "cap�tulo" which is used both in books ("book chapter") or tv shows. There's also the word "episodio" (episode) which is also used but not so often.. (though it *is* indeed used)...for instance, it was recently used in the Star Wars trilogy...

But come on, do I need to be Shakespeare to post in this newsgroup!? :-) Thanks anyway for the answer, much appreciated.

Oh, thanks... yes, I might be wrong, as I don't get the *episodes* :-) in english, but translated in spanish. Thanks.

How did they translate the "22 Short Stories" episode vignette where Bumblebee man was hit in the head with the oranges? Here in the EEUU (Estados Unidos for you Gringos) they said "las naranjes en my cabeza".

Pretty close... the correct translation is: "Las naranjas en mi cabeza" (with mexican accent of course) BTW, here in Spain they incorrectly give Dr. Nick Riviera an argentine accent..

Here in EEUU, Dr. Nick speaks English with an accent that nobody can figure out.

To avoid any festering hard feelings, I should mention that while I do often get amused at translation errors (not that this is a particularly grand or even particularly funny example), it's more a linguistic thing and definitely not to make fun of the people themselves. (Of course, I will make an exception for people who have a nebulous grasp of their own language(s), but even I am not perfect...)

Also, I didn't even notice that you had said "nuclear _energy_" originally until I posted; I just like the line very much myself.

No problem :-)

Indeed. I had forgotten it until I saw the episode some weeks ago on TV. It's so funny..
