Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After tapping on Diane's exclamation mark
|
|
My job title may say I'm a network programming executive, but really, I'm the head of a family.
|
|
|
I surround myself with extraordinary minds. Doers. People who actualize what others only ideate.
|
|
|
And, most importantly, people who I can stick the blame on when our ratings are in the toilet.
|
|
NO ONE thinks firing people isn't fun, but firing family? There's nothing quite like it.
|
| Task: "Make Diane Go on a Firing Spree". The job takes 8 hours.
|
|
And…the town's unemployment rate creeps over 30%. Wonderful.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
Pt. 2
| After tapping on Diane's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Ahhhh…I love that post-firing-spree glow. Colors just seem brighter after you've crushed dreams.
|
|
You ARE planning on filling those vacancies with other Springfielders, correct?
|
|
|
Of course! But first, I have a drinks meeting scheduled with some of my subordinates.
|
|
…who you just fired…
|
|
|
When you love meetings as much as I do, it doesn't even matter if you're alone.
|
Task: "Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern".
Task: "Make Diane Enjoy Cocktail Hour". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.

Eww. I thought I ordered a Manhattan.

They have watered-down ethanol in Manhattan!
|

|
|
Pt. 3
| After tapping on Diane's exclamation mark
|
|
|
A successful TV executive is ALWAYS on the hunt for original show ideas.
|
|
|
Sometimes you'll be tempted to copy an idea from another network, and give it a twist.
|
|
|
But that's a fool's errand: if the idea works, it doesn't NEED a twist. Duh!
|
|
|
Just change the title, cast Matthew Perry in it, and you're good to go!
|
| Task: "Make Diane Come up With "Original" Programming". The job takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
This fall, Matthew Perry IS… Danny Storm, Uncle of Dragons, in… “Contest of Chairs!”
|
|
|
Genius!
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
Pt. 4
| After tapping on Diane's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Now that I've created a sure-fire hit, it's time to hire some folks to blame it on when it bombs.
|
|
Yes, good! New jobs I can take credit for creating!
|
|
|
I need highly-qualified fall guys.
|
|
Lady, that's all we got.
|
Task: "Make Diane Host Interviews". The job takes place at the Itchy & Scratchy Land Gate or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Springfielders Apply for Jobs" (x5). The jobs take place at the Itchy & Scratchy Land Gate or a Brown House and take 4 hours.
|
|
|
Homer, why should I hire you for this job?
|
|
Because this is one of only three jobs I've never had before. The others being lead gaffer and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
|
|
|
Are you plugged in to the zeitgeist? How “up” are you on pop culture?
|
|
Hmmm… I'd have to say “extremely”.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 5
| After tapping on Diane's exclamation mark
|
|
|
So Mr. Simpson, let me explain your responsibilities as my new V.P. of Current Programming.
|
|
Oh, I wouldn't bother.
|
|
How do you expect to do your job if you don't know what it is?
|
|
|
I don't expect to do it at all. But don't worry. I always end up in the middle of the action.
|
|
Often for really half-baked reasons. It's called lazy writing, and it seems to work to my benefit.
|
| Task: "Make Homer Be in the Thick of Things, Somehow". The job takes place at the Itchy & Scratchy Land Gate or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Homer, you're fired.

‘Bout time, idiot!
