Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Eddie's exclamation mark Mr. Simpson? We'd like to question you about a local “brown house” which seems to be the center of some minor felonies. It certainly has! That's why I came over to investigate. The door was wide open, the TV was already on, and the wifi was streaming real smooth. What about the fridge being raided, the beer cans strewn all over, and the wall-to-wall carpeting you pulled off the floor to use as a blanket. I get cold when I watch TV drunk. Task: "Make Homer Go in for Questioning". The task takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours. So after thirty seconds, Homer not only implicated himself, but just about everyone else in town. That brown house is a locus of break-ins, vandalism, and theft. File it under “boring,” Lou… just like your use of the word “locus.” We won’t have to do all the other arrests if we can just solve some big, flashy crimes. And that’ll still placate Quimby. You get to use “placate,” but I can’t use “locus”? I have the gravitas to pull it off. Now catch me a “Dexter” so we can “Shawshank” him! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Lou's exclamation mark Everyone in Springfield is involved in some kind of petty crime. Yeah, but Chief says we need to find something big -- some super-dangerous criminal. Uh… my gun’s been jammed for a couple of years. I don’t even know where mine is. Let’s go get a jaywalker or two. Task: "Make Lou Pursue Criminals", and "Make Eddie Track Down Criminals". The tasks take 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Brockman's exclamation mark This is Kent Brockman, reporting on the dramatic surge in police action in Springfield. There’s no “dramatic surge,” Kent. What happened is I switched our coffee from decaf to regular. It gave some of our officers the jitters, but they're moving a lot faster. But what about all the law-abiding citizens being arrested for seemingly meaningless violations? Kent, you can’t call any law meaningless! We don’t rank laws. A kidnapping is no more important than a broken taillight. Actually, can I change that last thing I said We’re live. Nuts. I’m very tired, Kent. I think my coffee high wore off. Task: "Make Wiggum Nap in the S.W.A.T. Van". The task takes place at the S.W.A.T. Van and takes 6 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark Well, well, well. If it isn’t our old pal Snake, aka Jailbird. Or Jailbird, aka Snake. Search him, Eddie! Got a stack of papers on you, huh, Snake? What are they, rolling papers, or contracts to take out hits? Dude, no. They’re just blank insurance policies. I’m a legitimate life insurance salesman now. I’ve never been able to pass a life insurance physical. I’ve got a touch of diabetes. And gout. Oh, and I’m a policeman who’s been shot five times. All right, on your way! Later, dude. Excuse me, old man… I can get you a primo deal on a life insurance policy. Just write, “Snake,” on that beneficiary line and I’ll make sure your family gets the money. Task: "Make Snake Con Money from Old People". The task takes place at the Retirement Castle and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark Nice job hitting your arrest numbers, boys. I love quotas -- keeping the city safe by hitting meaningless statistical targets. If it’s all the same, Chief, I’d like to follow up on some old witness reports. I think some of these cases are low-hanging fruit. Oh, don’t you love when it hangs low? You don’t have to get up on your tippy-toes, or raise your arms. God I hate raising my arms. Task: "Make Lou Interview Suspects". The task takes place at a Visitable Home and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10
