	Mr. Hope, I've just received a letter from the IRS. Your company, Kid First Industries, is suspected of tax evasion.
	You're also charged with -- and I've never seen this before -- "general grossness". It's a little-known crime from the Constitution.
	Since when is evading taxes a crime?! Listen, I'll make this right. I'll have the IRS killed.
	Murder is, sadly, also a crime.
	That's the government for you. Always nosing into other people's homicides.
	Well, I can't pay. I haven't had a hit toy since the Funzo. I'm broke.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Search His Pockets for Spare Change". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 4 hours.
	Here, this is everything I've got in my pockets. drops coins on desk
	You're going to need... fifteen million dollars more.
	I do have another pair of pants at home. So, there's that. But I suppose I could just invent another hit toy.
	Better put on a happy face for the kiddies and hope ol' Uncle Jim's still got it.
	As your lawyer, I must advise you not to refer to yourself as "uncle" around children who aren't your relatives.
	Why? Liability issue?
	No, just creepy.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
	All right, Lindsey. We need a smash hit toy for the holidays or I'm going to jail.
	You're not the only one who's been evading taxes. Should I be worried?
	Probably. As in, I'm "probably" going to rat you out to get a reduced sentence.
	I see. I suppose I could have you killed?
	No, it's illegal. The lawyer said so.
	Shoot. Well, I never like making money honestly, but that may be our only option here.
	If there was any other way, believe me I'd be all over it. Let's get to work.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Brainstorm Original Ideas". The job takes 4 hours. If Lindsey Naegle is owned: Task: "Make Lindsey Naegle Brainstorm Ways to Backstab Jim Hope". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 4 hours.
	Read back to me what we've come up with so far.
	A doll that explodes if you forget to feed it, a mobile game based on a past-its-prime cartoon...
	...an action figure with a monthly subscription fee for some reason, and a kid-sized AR-15 that doesn't set off metal detectors.
	All brilliant, every one! Let's run some focus groups and see what the kids think!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
	Hey there kids, how would you like to play with some toys?
	No way! You're not fooling us with that act again.
	I like playing with toys in front of one-way mirrors!
	Hey Ralph, take my hand and we'll look for fairies in your backyard, okay?
	I like doing the last thing someone suggested! Let's go!
	We'll catch a fairy today for sure. But we have to get far, far away from this guy -- fairies don't like him.
	sigh They grow out of their easily-manipulated stage so fast.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Demonstrate Toys". The job takes 12 hours.
	The kids hated our toys! They said they were "too cynical". Since when is making toys designed to prey on kids' worst impulses "cynical"?
	How am I supposed to con them if they're wise to my tricks? Am I supposed to make something they actually like? chuckles
	Don't spout such nonsense!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
	Little girl, please come back. I need your help -- I'm desperate!
	You've always been desperate.
	Hey, you think it's EASY being a grown man who's nowhere near as good at inventing toys as the great Lisa Simpson?
Lisa - Eyeroll	Flattery won't work on me.
	I know. You're way too smart to fall for flattery.
	Sweet, sweet flattery... Oh how I love it...
	Fine! You get ten minutes of my time. I'll come up with one toy. But that's it!
Task: "Make Jim Hope Steal Lisa's Ideas". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or Kid First Industries and takes 8 hours.
	How about a toy oven that makes fattening cakes, then we sell a weight loss supplement as an add-on?
	Hmm. What if the toy oven makes nutritious snacks, but they look like cupcakes. Makes the kids AND the parents happy.
	So, it's not exploitative? I mean, what's the fun in that?
	What about a set of encyclopedias, but all the facts are wrong so it makes you stupider? Then we sell tutoring services to all the new dummies we just made.
	Stick with the healthy oven.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
	Lindsey, I think we've got our hit toy: The Half-Baked Oven!
	Half-Baked is half as powerful as regular play ovens. So you have to buy special pre-half-baked treats from us.
	Wait, no! That's not what we agreed on!
	Can't you see how much more evil it is my way? Think, Lisa!
	I want my idea back. You stole it from me!
	Jim, open us some bubbly to celebrate. I just need to make a quick phone call...
	It's hot tubbing time!
Task: "Make Jim Hope Pop Some Bottles". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 12 hours. If Lindsey Naegle is owned: Task: "Make Lindsey Naegle Give Chief Wiggum a Hot Tip". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 12 hours.

	Hold it right there, Hope! You're under arrest for exploiting the work of miners.
	Because of the Lisa Simpson thing?
	What? No, not some kid. Miners. The guys who work in mines. Anyway, that's what I heard over the phone.
	And that's how I wrote it up. You can't expect me to redo all that paperwork.
	Lindsey! You set me up!
	Have fun in prison, Jim!
	Eureka, that's it! A play set that's a prison, and whenever you want to free your dolls, you have to purchase a new security code from us?
	Hmmm. Yeah, I'd play with that.
	being dragged off to jail I'm back, baby!
