Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Manacek's exclamation mark Ahh, another morning in Springfield. The combination of burning tires, nuclear waste, and obesity sweat in the air does make for a beautiful sunrise. Now it's time for this fox to get into a hen house. Wait, that sounds gross. Now it's time to hit on some unsuspecting women. Much better. Task: "Make Manacek Take a Stroll". The job takes 4 hours. Hey sugar lips, want to stroll back to my place? Uh, no? Don't reduce my mother's existence to a single part of her body! She deserves more than your synecdoche! Metonymy-oh-my, this one's got some spunk! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Manacek's exclamation mark Nine AM and I haven't found a willing woman yet. What could be wrong? Could it be me? Could I unwittingly be a relic from a bygone era? Could my aggressive flirtation in actuality make women feel uncomfortable or even threatened? Nah, I probably just didn't put on enough cologne. Everyone knows that delight is best found in the afternoon! Task: "Make Manacek Take a Stroll". The job takes 4 hours. After starting the job Hello there, darling. I was hoping you could teach me a lesson, if you catch my drift Well I am in the middle of class, and I'm not quite sure how you got in here. But then again my union contract does allow one fling per semester... You again! First you hit on my mom and then my teacher. What female role model will you hit on next? Sheryl Sandberg? Wait til you see how far I can lean in... After finishing the task Stop objectifying women. They're just like you – fully two dimensional! I'm not objectifying them! If anything I'm subjectifying them. Show some class, you disgusting pig. Excuse me, do pigs wear a jacket and turtleneck? Well, except for that one on the news, but he's a special case. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Manacek's exclamation mark Harruph. That meddlesome midget really got under my skin. But I know just how to clear that eight-year-old out of my head. With the help of another eight-year-old. Task: "Make Manacek Clear His Head With a Whiskey Bottle". The job takes place at Brick Townhomes and takes 8 hours. Ugh, rough night. I'm late for work and my mouth tastes like wool. Speaking of which, where are all my turtlenecks? My god, my neck's unturtled! I'm exposed, like a turtle without his...his... I don't know, favorite galoshes? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Manacek's exclamation mark My turtlenecks were my secret weapon, my armor, my confidence. Without them, I'm a mess around women! Vulnerable. Open. Sometimes I even listen! I must track down the Jason who fleeced this Golden Ram! Task: "Make Manacek Look in a Panic". The job takes 8 hours. Whoever took them had access to my house. So that narrows it down to anyone who can look under my doormat. A clue! A trail of lint! It leads out of the house! After finishing the task The trail leads to a clothing donation center? No!! Farewell my precious companions. I hope the throats you warm realize how fortunate they truly are. Did you come back for your weird sweaters? They're still here. Even the raccoons refused to nest in them. So they're too good for a sweater, but will still wear gloves and a mask? Wait, I dropped the turtlenecks off? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Manacek's exclamation mark Why would I give away my turtlenecks? Maybe donating your turtlenecks was a symbolic gesture of you turning over a new leaf and learning to respect women? A chance to bare your neck and bare your soul. Out of the mouths of babes... Sorry, I meant to say, that babe out there has got a sexy mouth. Task: "Make Manacek Continue His Misogynist Behavior". The job takes place at Homes and takes 8 hours. Well I got fired from work for creating a "hostile" "work" "environment" and for not knowing what "quotes" are for. I might be more of a sleaze than I thought. On the upside, now I have more time to cruise the streets... Quest reward: 200 and 20

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The quest name is a reference to "gumshoe", a slang word for a private detective.
