Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Shelbyville Manhattan's exclamation mark Good lord, where am I? And what is this ugly city? You're in Springfield, Mister... uh... Manhattan. Shelbyville Manhattan. *gasp* I know you! You're the guy who invented Manhattan Clam Chowder! No, Dad, he's the man who founded Shelbyville. Oh. Is Shelbyville Clam Chowder the creamy kind or the red kind? Speaking of red and creamy, I could go for a little female companionship. Are any of my attractive cousins around? Eew. Now now, Lisa. Who are we to judge the racist and sexist ways of the past. Fine. I'll take you to see your cousins. But first you have to let me interview you for the school newspaper. Fine. What's the subject of your article -- American heroes? No -- a recently discovered caveman. Task: "Make Lisa Interview Shelbyville for the Paper". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Take Shelbyville to See His Cousins". The job takes place at the Springfield Cemetery or a Brown House and takes 12 hours. You tricked me! You took me to a cemetery to see my cousins' GRAVES! nd yet you still tried to kiss them. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Shelbyville Manhattan's exclamation mark I've got to find a suitable bride... You there! Where did you find that girl you're always kissing who's also always kissing everyone else? What?! Shauna's cheating on me? We met in high school. "High school?" Very well, to "high school" I go! Hold it right there! You're not setting foot in that school, creep! Can't you read the sign? "No Trespassing". No I cannot! There is nothing sadder than adult illiteracy. We've got to do the responsible thing: get this deviant adult into that school! Task: "Reach Level 12 and Build the Springfield Library". Task: "Make Shelbyville Manhattan Go to High School to Become Literate". The job takes place at Springfield High School or Springfield Library and takes 24 hours. The best part of learning about indoor plumbing is giving swirlies to freshmen. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Shelbyville Manhattan's exclamation mark If you're going to live here, you'll need to get with the times. No modern woman would go for such a brute. What difference does her opinion make? I'll just club her over the head and force her to marry me. Okay, even back in your time, I'm pretty sure that wasn't acceptable. We're going to the library so you can read up on contemporary culture. How am I supposed to do that? I don't know how to read. Um, hello? Don't you know there's a whole genre of movies of guys being frozen and then thawed out in the future? What's your point? My point is that these movies always contain a montage of the character catching up on all the stuff they missed. Task: "Reach Level 13 and Build Android's Dungeon". Task: "Make Shelbyville Watch Guy-Frozen-And-Thawed-Out-In-The-Future Movies". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon and takes 24 hours. I'm completely caught up on modern life. The only thing I didn't understand was the appeal of Pauly Shore... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Shelbyville Manhattan's exclamation mark Now that I'm a modern man, I can start dating, but the idea of dating an unrelated person disgusts me. I hope I've made that abundantly clear. If only there was a surefire way to find out if someone was related to me. Actually, there is. It's called DNA testing. All you have to do is get people to let you swab the inside of their cheek, and I can test their DNA in my laborator -- BLURGHGH! Get your finger out of my mouth! You're supposed to use a COTTON SWAB to take the sample! Hey, you're the scientist. I'm just a guy who likes putting my finger in other people's mouths. Task: "Make Shelbyville Manhattan Swab Mouths for DNA Samples". The job takes place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Springfielders Get Swabbed" (x10). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and take 60 minutes. The results are in: I'm sorry, but you have NO LIVING RELATIVES. Nooo! Also, you tested positive for Male Pattern Baldness. NOOOOO! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Shelbyville Manhattan's exclamation mark Well, the dream is over. I'll just have to settle for a non-cousin "normy". I'm sorry, I don't mean to eavesdrop, but did you just say you were thinking of settling? You know, I sort of have a thing for guys who are out of other options. The name's Miss Hoover. *sigh* If only your last name was Manhattan, I'd be all up in that. Wait a minute! Your name isn't Manhattan, but what if MINE was Hoover! Do you have any uncles? Yes, why? Task: "Make Shelbyville Get Adopted by Miss Hoover's Uncle So They Are Cousins". The job takes place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and takes 8 hours. Well, it surely was a long road to get here, but I've never felt more in love! I love you too, Shelby, but do you have to bring your gun to bed? Stop trying to control me and my gun! I think we should see other people. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Behind the Laughter[edit]
