You saw one episode of Sanford and Son forty years ago, and you've been doing this angry old man bit ever since. You're a total rip off of Redd Foxx! Redd who? Redd Foxx!

Be Original, Dummy! Pt. 3

After tapping on Hibbert's Father's exclamation mark: I can't believe... Could it be? Have I been the... the big dummy... this whole time? Excuse me, sir. Are you okay? You seem to be having a senior moment of some sort, talking incoherently, with the hoyvik and the glayvin, and the surplus of ellipseeees. I'm sorry. I'm just coming to terms with the idea that I'm not an original character. And my friends weren't either. Good glayviiiiiinnn, what a startling realization.

After tapping on Dr. Hibbert's exclamation mark: Thank you so much for bringing my father home, officers. I'll take good care of him. Make sure you do.

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark: Uh, bad news, Stogie. My latest attempt at upscalin' this jernt has failed. I guess puttin' monocles on the rats was a misguided attempt at class. I'm gonna have to let ya go. That's a shame, Moe. You paid a lot for those tiny monocles. And got so many rat bites for your troubles. Yeah, you live and you learn I guess. Guess I've gotta go out and hustle up a new gig. Before you go, play me that favorite song o' mine. You got it, Moe-sephine Baker.

Task: Make Stogie MC Bingo Night (4h, First Church of Springfield) *sings* ...although they say they don't like sin / they'll still cheat to get a win...

These should count as billable hours! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Play Musty For Me Pt. 4

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: I am not sure I need a piano player in my comic book shop. It would be like the Dark Knight doing a crossover with Huckleberry Hound. Come on, man. This place needs a little sophistication. We both know the future of sequential art is manga and original graphic novels for the youth market. Hm. You make a fair point. But if you want to play my "scene", you'll need to absorb this vast quanta of source material. I'm on it. Task: Make Stogie Read Piles of Comic Books (8h, Android's Dungeon) *sings* ...plenty of power fantasies for boys / but when women and people of color share the toys... ...the fanboys get all steamed with rage / acting well below their age...

Never has my essence been so grandly expressed through the sultry medium of smooth jazz. ...and he's as ugly as he's rich/ Let's toss him into a ditch/ And cover it with wet cement... On second thought, get the hounds ready. But wait til the end. It is a catchy tune. Yes, sir. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Cast your bread upon the water, and it will return to you threefold. And it will help the Patriarch buy that helicopter that he's had his eye on.

Keepin' the Faith

Keepin' the Faith Pt. 1

After tapping on The Patriarch's exclamation mark: Tim, your parishioner numbers are down again, and your flock just isn't as fulsome as we're looking for. There's a lot of competition these days, Patriarch, what with all the new streaming services. I haven't even started the new season of "Marvelous Mrs. Manson". It's not easy to motivate the masses. Not so, Tim. You just need to bring your A Game – watch and learn! Task: Make the Patriarch Give Powerful Sermon (12h, Mega Church) And that's how it's done! *mic drop* Careful! I'm still making payments on that thing! You just have to fire 'em up with the word of God. And toss a couple of lit firecrackers to wake em up. It's easy to come in and do a rousing guest spot, but I'm a recurring character in these people's lives. You know, Tim, maybe it's time I found a Springfielder who can really inspire the supplicants of this suburb. Ha! Good luck with that! There's no one in this town as committed to the word of the Lord, who also fits my vestments. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Keepin' the Faith Pt. 2

After tapping on The Patriarch's exclamation mark: Marge Simpson, I hear you're a pious woman who likes to plant it in the pew every Sunday. Would you be interested in answering a higher calling? Selling medicinal marijuana? I'm doing that late in season 31. No, I mean taking over as Pastor. Hm. Let me consider that while I bake some cookies. Let me give you a hand with that while we chat... Task: Make the Patriarch Bake Religious Martyr Cookies (4h, Simpson House) Task: Make Marge Bake Delicious Non-Religious Cookies (4h, Simpson House) Those are some...interesting cookies, Patriarch.

Are there any perks to joining the ministry? You get to hear a lot of juicy deathbed confessions. Did you know Bleeding Gums Murphy killed a hobo in a hit and run? Yikes. Um... I think I'll pass. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Keepin' the Faith Pt. 3

After tapping on The Patriarch's exclamation mark: I see that you are popular with the youth of Springfield. We could use that in the Church. Have you ever considered becoming a minister? Hmm...I have always felt that I was destined for a larger emporium. My counter has been feeling a little tight lately. Literally. There's lots of room behind a podium. And in a nice purple robe. I do like the idea of not wearing pants to work. You already deal in books about magical powers. Just come do it for our team. Hmm. Tell me about your main characters, their special powers, and their one weakness. Task: Make The Patriarch Struggle to Draw Similarities Between Superheroes and the Bible (4h, Android's Dungeon) If the user Comic Book Guy: Task: Make Comic Book Guy Skeptically Read the Bible (4h, Android's Dungeon) Well, what do you think of all that, young man? Fairly ridiculous. What kind of a father doesn't avenge his own son's death. John Wick, he is not. And while your "Satan" has some potential as a villain, he lacks the nuance and pathos of a Dr. Crab. Well, if you ever change your mind, come by the church. I will continue to worship at the altar of Fat Thor, thank you very much. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Keepin' the Faith Pt. 4

If the user has Herman: After tapping on Herman's exclamation mark: If the user doesn't have Herman: After completing Keepin' the Faith Pt. 3 Hey Padre, I hear you've been nosin' around town quite a bit lately.

I'm seeking a newly energized evangelical to help elevate Springfield's righteousness in these troubled times. Say no more -- I'm your man! I've been preparing for this day for a long time. Um, really? Why, that's good news for the Good News! Let's head over to the church. Sure thing, boss. But first, I need your help with a couple things... Task: Make the Patriarch Bless Doomsday Supplies (4h, Mega Church) You know, Herman, I feel like maybe we're not on the same page here. Sure we are. We're both itching for the end of the world. Except you're expecting a savior, and I'm expecting a fortune. People are gonna need guns and canned beans aplenty. And toilet paper. *leaves* Where you goin'? I have a whole room full of MRB's! MRB's? Meals Ready to Bless. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Ah, but who better than one who has fallen low and risen again. Hm. Perhaps you're right. Who better to lead a congregation than a prodigal son. Like the mighty rake that whacks me, no one has fallen and risen more than I! Task: Make the Patriarch Watch Crazy Christian Cavalcades (4h, Mega Church) If the user has Sideshow Bob: Task: Make Sideshow Bob Step on Seventeen Rakes (4h, Mega Church) So, your Patriarch-ness, how soon would I be able to reach out to troubled families to offer one-on-one counseling. Well... One family in particular, the Simpson family, could benefit from a visit. I hear they have a wayward son that needs to be... DEALT with. Why are you sharpening those enormous knives? Where did they even come from? An ankle holster. My brother got it for me for the holidays and I can't live without it. The HOLIDAYS? No pastor of mine is going to refer to Christmas as the holidays. Don't you know there's a war going on, according to one dubious cable news channel? Get lost, pal. How goes the quest to find my replacement, sir? Looks like you're still in business...for now. I told you I'm not easily replaceable. This town has got more nuts than a squirrel's digestive tract. I agree, Reverend. I agree. Quest reward: 200 and 20
