 Curt Stevens
Curt will do almost anything to get out of work.
Ironically, he usually puts more effort into a scheme then he would have
done by actually doing the work. He also makes bad and/or wrong choices
and/or helps others to make the wrong choice.
History
In middle school, Curt would often try to get out of gym
class because he was sick of running laps. One such scheme was when Curt
told Coach Stubbs he had a rare tropical disease. Coach Stubbs sent Curt
to the school nurse, who sent Curt to the principal's office; the
principal then sent Curt home to his parents, who sent him to his room
for a week. Another involved Curt trying to boycott the "fascist left
wing competition", as he put it. As a result, Coach Stubbs washed Curt's
mouth out with soap.
Family
Much of Curt's family was revealed in the episode
Home Is Where the Hurt
Is. Curt's mother left him and his father,
Frank Stevens, after he was born. As a result, Curt's father became an
alcoholic.
Despite this, in
The Trouble with Girls,
Curt said that his mom packed his lunch. This is due to the fact that
the episode was a remake of the Harley episode
Bobby's Valentine,
and the original line was carried over.
Curt and his father live in a trailer park at least during Curt's time
in Middle School. Their phone number was revealed to be 555-2157.
The Stevens' address, 561 Potters Park, is an allusion to "It's a
Wonderful Life". In the film, "Potter's Field" was owned by the rich
man, and was known as a slum.
Friends
Curt was often paired with Lucy Cunningham-Schultz. In
many episodes, Lucy tried to convince Curt to give up on his "schemes".
In
The Triangled Web I,
it was revealed that Lucy and Curt dated throughout high school, and
actually were supposed to go to the senior dance together, but he backed
out, afraid that Lucy would begin to talk about their "future". In part
2, it is revealed that Curt and Lucy met in the school cafeteria.
Curt and Oscar Peterson have also been paired.
