Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark If we're to stand a chance against Pirate Captain Ziff, my crew, we'll need to sharpen yer skills. You mean like sailing, sword fighting, and swashbuckling?

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Homer, we're running out of rum, we keep sailing in circles, and I got scurvy. Mind you, I had it already. Arrrrr. As a man of the sea, I may be able to help. Let's cheat. Cheat? But I'm a pirate! It is simply not done! What if we stop pretending we're in pirate times, and we use modern guns, radar, and computers to take down our foe? Wait, we have access to those? Know what? Fine. You do a time travel story, this is what you get. Task: "Make Homer's Crew Fight With Future Technology" (x5). The jobs take place at Homer's Workbench and take 4 hours.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The quest name is a reference to the novel Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez.
