Dialogue
Pt. 1
| 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
| 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
| 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
| 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
| 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.

|
|
Pt. 6
| 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
| 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.
