Hijinks and Hoop Dreams

Tapped Out Quest Information

Hijinks and Hoop Dreams is a temporary questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the "22 for 30" episode tie-in content update.

After starting the update
	All right students, as you know assemblies mean I have dispiriting news.
	Government funding is better for sports than academics, so we are now focusing on that. Seems the teachers that always wore sweat pants were ahead of the curve.
	Sports? I’m allergic to those. And dust. And cotton. And my own hair.
	This isn’t easy for any of us. I have to attend a seminar on the proper operation of a whistle.
	What if there’s an exam at the end?!
Task: "Make Youngsters Play Basketball Instead of Doing Math" (x5). The jobs take place at Springfield Elementary and take 4 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Shoot Some Hoops". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 4 hours.
	I now have a whole new relationship with sports. It’s based on mutual respect!
	It’s still school. Haven't you noticed “Coach” Largo is waving a baton?
	But my shots are going in. That’s a thing my shots don't normally do!
Message	Don’t forget to check out the store, where a fine selection of limited time sports items are now available!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
	Milhouse, you’re really enjoying basketball. You remind me of me when I first discovered the joy of following rules.
	I love the swish sound when the ball goes in the net. Reminds me of the sound my legs make when I wear corduroy pants.
	How odd. Anyway, we acquired an outdoor court. For half price - it's a half-court.
	This is great! I feel like Dr. J! Not the player, my "private talks" doctor. He plays in a league with other therapists!
Task: "Place the Outdoor Basketball Half-Court". Task: "Make Milhouse Practice His Two-Pointers". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 2 hours.
	I can’t believe you get special treatment 'cause you’re good at basketball. It’s almost like this school doesn't appreciate pranking at all.
	You could join me. You know, like how up until now I’ve done everything you want?
	Please. Our relationship is based on your blind obedience. That’s why it works.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
	Hey Bart, did you change your mind? Who's that guy?
	This blue-haired, weak-eyed, quiver-voiced kid is who you’ve been bragging about?!
	Milhouse, this is Anger Watkins, a famous sports reporter with an even more famous short temper. He wants to watch you. Don’t be nervous because he’s totally judging you.
	I’m judging you, this school, and even those clouds. You call that cumulonimbus? Please! I find better fluff in my navel after wearing a wool sweater. Now shoot the ball, four eyes!
Task: "Make Milhouse Practice Very Nervously". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 2 hours.
	I've been covering basketball a long time, but I'm not even sure how to describe this pathetic display.
	I need to go home, heat up some canned ravioli, and then sit down and write an apology note to my eyes for making them watch this garbage! I can already tell this is going to be a four stress ball night!
Message	Angry sportscaster Anger Watkins can now be purchased from the store!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
	Bart, why would you do this?
	I thought a famous sportscaster mocking you would be funny. And, I’m proud to say, my instincts were right. You should be happy for me.
	I finally found something that made me feel good and then you made me feel bad about it.
	Wow! I think… I think… I think I’m about to stand up for myself.
Task: "Make Milhouse Fight Bart". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 4 hours.
After starting the job
	I can't believe it! The blue-haired boy has attacked his friend with the same level of intense fury I use to brush my teeth.
	The foundations of their friendship have been hit with an explosion of anger that seems to have simmered longer than a well-made tomato sauce!
	I see now I may be somewhat responsible for this. I need a diversion so the guilt can’t sink in. How about some road rage? That always works!
After finishing the task
	OK Milhouse, it took being punched in the guts to realize I may have been wrong. I'm sorry. I was jealous of how good you were at b-ball.
	I prefer if you call it “my mad hoop skills”. But I forgive you. Van Houtens can’t hold grudges, or in my Dad’s case, jobs.
Message	Does Bart ever give basketball a chance? Is Anger Watkins even a real character? Tune in to The Simpsons this Sunday 8/7C on FOX!
Quest Reward: 200 and 20
