"Lisa the Drama Queen" is the ninth episode of the twentieth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 25, 2009, and guest-starred Emily Blunt as Juliet.

The next day, Lisa is invited by Juliet to run away to a run-down restaurant where they intend to live while they complete their writing.

Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney, who use the restaurant as their hideout, find and trap Lisa and Juliet, locking them in cages.

Two months later, Lisa is back at home with a rejection slip from a publishing company to whom she had sent her Equalia manuscript.

Homer is then prompted to make his own fantasy story, based on his experiences as a father, which goes no further than him re-imagining the family in forms more pleasing to him: Bart is a hot dog, Lisa is a starfish, Marge is a bottle of Duff Beer, and Maggie is a monster truck.

A special version of the end credits theme was performed by the band Fall Out Boy, who were named after a character in the series, but they did not guest star in the actual episode.

[4] After hosting the Simpsons for dinner, Juliet's father plays track three "Researching the Brief" from James Horner's soundtrack to The Pelican Brief.
