Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Mom, you look sad. Maybe you need some friends. No, I'm just worried I haven't totally cleaned the house. Now I remember: I forgot to vacuum the kitchen sponges. Have you ever considered that you might be displacing your loneliness through chores? But I love chores! I wish someone would ask me to vacuum more sponges right now. Task: "Make Marge Vacuum Kitchen Sponges". No, don't make her vacuum any more sponges. Take that down. We need some place that will attract you a sophisticated woman friend. Maybe an art gallery or a feminist bookstore. Task: "Build Shotkickers". It takes 4 hours. New Character: Ruth Powers *sigh* No one ever listens to my input. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark Ruth, it's so good to see you again! Thanks, Marge. It's nice to be back. What have you been up to? I spent some time in prison, recovered from a serious battle with alcoholism and became a championship bodybuilder. What about you? Well, let's see... I got a new iron, and... Did I mention my new iron? Guess it's been a real crazy time for both of us. Would you like to try the iron? Thanks, but what I'd really love right now is a job. Maybe you could work at the nuclear plant. As long as you don't mind that it's a bit of a boys club. I survived two separate prison riots. I'll manage. Task: "Make Ruth Apply for Work". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Now that Ruth is working at the plant, we're all going to have to act differently. Here she comes. Make her feel welcome. Hey guys. Hey Ruth. We were just talking about how we like fashion, babies, small plate restaurants and Grey's Anatomy. I love anything Shonda Rhimes does. I don't really like any of those things, but what I do like is beer. You guys want to join me? Okay, so maybe not that different. Task: "Make Ruth Have a Few Drinks". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Homer Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Lenny Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Carl Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Wow, Ruth. Being with you is like being with one of the guys. If you're just like us, maybe all our notions of gender difference are just arbitrary social constructions. Yeah, what he said. And you smell better than Lenny. Got my first paycheck today, so the bar tab's on me! How come your paycheck is lower than ours? We all worked the same hours this week, right? It says female discount multiplier: 70%. Wow. That's not subtle. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Ruth Powers's exclamation mark Mister Burns? I'm here to talk about my paycheck. We're all doing the same work, but the guys all get paid more than me! I see. That's quite a quandary. By the way, do you happen to see an opening for a trap door anywhere around here? No. Why? No reason. Now could you be a sweetheart and dig a ten-foot pit, disguise it with some banana leaves and then jump in? Why would I do that? You question my orders?! It's that kind of attitude that gets you paid less than a man. Now get back to work or you're fired! Task: "Make Ruth Work a Plant Shift". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Carl's exclamation mark I can't believe old Burns won't pay you the same as us. Tell me about it. We should protest. Let's stage a work slowdown until Burns sets things right! I don't think I can work any slower. I pretty much do nothing as it is. So instead, I will set up an "Ice Cream Sundae Bar for Gender Equality Awareness". I don't see how that helps our cause. A sundae bar it is! P.S. You're all chipping in ten bucks. Task: "Make Lenny Work at Half Speed". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours. Task: "Make Carl Work at Half Speed". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours. Task: "Make Ruth Work at Half Speed". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours. Task: "Make Homer set up an Ice Cream Sundae Bar for Gender Equality Awareness". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Smithers' exclamation mark Mister Burns, there's an issue with gender pay inequality. To protest, there has been a work slowdown. And an "Ice Cream Sundae Bar for Gender Equality Awareness." Does the sundae bar have sprinkles? Chocolate and rainbow, sir. They are really playing hardball. If I can speak frankly, I think gender equality could be a step toward the equality of all people... Including those of different sexual orientations, and this world would be a better place to live in. Do they have real hot fudge? Yes. Then I am defeated. Let them have equal pay for women. Start the paperwork. Task: "Make Smithers Do Paperwork". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Smithers' exclamation mark Congratulations, Ms. Powers, you're now getting the same standard pay rate as your male co-workers. This is great! Thanks for having my back, guys. Any time, Ruth. We're all about social change. Uhmm guys... they just lowered our pay to match Ruth. What?! We need to protest! We already did that. I'm kind of protested out. There's only one thing to do when your paychecks have been drastically cut. Task: "Make Lenny Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Carl Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Ruth Have a Few Drinks". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Homer move his "Sundae Bar for Gender Equality Awareness" to Moe's then drink". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 5,000 and 500
