A/N-With the recent movie out, I just couldn't resist this one! On 'Curtains', this episode was about the Sugarbakers ordering some curtains from a company that has went on strike, after working in the company itself trying to get the curtains done for the job, they meet a woman who actually works in the horrid conditions and the boss, Mister Emrey.
Charlene mentions that she has two brothers and 1 sister who works in the ink factory back home and they worked in blue and when they came home they looked like 'Smurfs' so...
Fa la la la, la la la!
The Smurfs were singing and being a absolute delight at the birthday party! Margaret Cho was so happy, she was grateful were she was because she remembered where she came from. Horrible conditions were she was unfairly made to work. A factory making curtains in Atlanta, Georgia. But now she was the proud owner of a birthday shop in Georgia! It was a true American dream.
Margaret was watching all her actors play the parts of the smurfs. Brainy Smurf came running to Poppa Smurf and was shouting, " Poppa Smurf! Poppa Smurf! The rainbow is disappearing in the sky! It's only half there!'...
Just then Margaret heard a voice calling her, "Mom!" Margaret turned around to see her daughter Deborah come running to her and they hug and Deborah says, "Oh Mom! I'm so glad to see the business doing so well!" Margaret beams then says, "I am too. I was remembering where I was before this business" Deborah starts remembering herself then asks, "Mom, what ever happened to that factory?" Margaret tells her, "After the Sugarbaker ladies quit their account, the factory wound up closing" Deborah thinks on that then asks another question, "So what happened to that mean man? Emphry?"
Margaret smiles then says correcting her daughter, "Emrey...he had to find work elsewhere..." "Where" Margaret slowly looks over at the actor playing Poppa Smurf and slowly Deborah realizes it is the man who tried to rule over her mother and she smiles and Margaret says, "I may have to fire him, he not a nice Poppa Smurf"
Everybody can see the anger in 'Poppa Smurf'.
A/N-Margaret's last name is my creation, She didn't have one on the show as Margaret's daughter. The rest belongs to 'Designing women' and the characters of the Smurfs belong to NBC. NOT Me. Sigh.
