Dialogue

Pt. 1

After starting the update Whaaaaack…ing…day…..whack…ing…day….. Whack-ing-day!… Whack-ing-day! WHACKINGDAY!!! WHACKINGDAY!!! WHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAY WHACKINGDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa, know what day it is? Here's a hint -- it's the day we whack snakes with sticks until they die. Can you guess? ... Oh, right. I forgot you're not a fan. But even YOU can appreciate my new whacking stick. It's got everything -- a handle, the part you hit the snake with… and that's all. I've always been partial to Crushman Co.'s line of whacking sticks: the Brainseeker, the Snake Harmer, the Blunt Force Mama… Sure, those were fine sticks in their day. But the new carbon fiber whackers are light years ahead. It's almost like the snake is whacking itself. In all our squabbling over personal preference, let's not lose sight of the true meaning of Whacking Day -- God hates snakes. Task: "Make Homer Prepare for Whacking Day". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Task: "Make Apu Prepare for Whacking Day". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 24 hours. If Willie is owned: Task: "Make Willie Prepare for Whacking Day". The job takes place at Willie's Shack and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark ... Whacking Day is here, and all we've got in town are rabbits? How am I supposed to murder adorable, innocent bunnies? By bashing them in the skull, same as the snakes. I'll show ye. Willie, you wouldn't! Oot a me way, little girl! Now, I simply entice the fluffy devil to me with a carrot, raise me whacking stick, look into its innocent soulful eyes and… and… Ach! I canneh whack them. And now you don't have to! Thanks to my latest least-plausible invention -- the Bunny Stunner! Instead of humanely bopping them on the head, it will humanely shoot thousands of volts through their body. How is that humane? They're very few amps. Ugh, a science lesson?! Just shut up and let me try it already. Task: "Humanely Zap Bunnies" (x10). I guess the upside here is that by letting the bunnies live, we can whack them again and again. It's quantity over quality -- the hallmark of Simpsons Tapped Out! Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Is it my imagination, or are these bunnies… laying eggs? You don't think that these are ACTUAL Easter Bunnies, do you? So the Easter Bunny is real? Because my friend Janey doesn't believe in him, yet she still gets a basket. It's only anecdotal evidence, but it's sent shock waves through the entire second grade's belief system. Of course the Easter Bunny is real! Don't you listen to that moron Janey. Just cling tight to your remaining innocence with all your strength, little girl. Okay, will do. Phew. Now, stand aside. Daddy's got some eggs to collect. Task: "Make Homer Steal Easter Eggs". The job takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark Bunnies instead of snakes? It makes no sense! Maybe it does. Consider that over the years, we've whacked the local snake population into near-extinction. Leaving bunnies without a key predator, thereby allowing their numbers to explode. Once again, we see evidence of the fluidity of natural ecosystems. Animal populations change over time depending on their environment. So you're saying that all these bunnies are proof that nature is capable of adaptation and change. Sort of like evolution? I suppose… Well, we can't have evidence of evolution hopping around everywhere. Time to go bunny-huntin'! Task: "Make Ned Hunt Bunnies". The job takes 16 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I remember my first rabbit hunt like it was yesterday. I had hired myself out as a guide on an African safari. My client's name? Teddy Roosevelt. Dad, that's great, but I'm kind of busy right-- We were pushing through the underbrush, in search of a 12-point bull rabbit that the indigenous people called “El Guapo.” Teddy Roosevelt died before you were born, “El Guapo” is Spanish, and “12-point” refers to antlers, which rabbits don't have. Now, I really have to-- I spotted El Guapo up ahead. He was leaning casually on the rim of his rabbit hole, chomping a carrot and giving me the old “What's up, Doc?” That's a cartoon and-- I snuck up to him, but just before I shot, the wascally bandit informed me that wabbit season had just ended, and that it was now duck season. Imagine my shock! Task: "Make Homer Endure One of Grampa's Stories". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 6

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark Hello, Lisa! Care to choose from our selection of ultra-high-quality Easter-themed items? A few days ago this store was stuffed with Whacking Day supplies. How'd you switch to Easter so quickly? You think it's so difficult getting plastic junk in a hurry? That said, this is, of course, only the highest-quality plastic junk. Sold at a very reasonable markup of 6,000%. And still they buy. How I weep for my adopted homeland. Task: "Make Apu Stock the Kwik-E-Mart for Easter". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 7

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Zappin' rabbits? It's what Easter's all about! Not to nitpick, Homer, but Easter is actually about the resurrection of our Lord. Really? How come I'm just hearing about this? You can't be serious. You go to church every Sunday. Has literally none of it sunk in? I like the part where we all shake hands and wish each other well. It's fun because sometimes you shake the hand of a dude you hate, and you can God-bless them in a sort of Clint Eastwood-style voice. Like, you say “Peace be with you,” but what you really mean is “I'll see you in hell.” And if that's all I take from religion, well, that's enough. It truly is. Homer, I… I have to… go… now. Task: "Make Ned Prepare Easter Dinner". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 8

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark There's simply no logical explanation for a rabbit that lays eggs. It's like something out of a bad movie, or a poorly-thought-out video game! I beg ta differ, little pointy-haired girl. As an expert on crossbreeding and inbreeding of all kinds, I know genetic oopsies like this happen every day. There's several Spucklers what lays eggs. You never tasted such delicious yolks. Ain't no egg like a person egg. You're saying these rabbits might have been genetically engineered to lay eggs? But who would do such a thing? And why? I reckon that's for later missions. Right now, I need to grow some carrots for our little friends. For all I know, they's kin! Task: "Reach Level 6 and Build Cletus's Farm". Task: "Harvest Carrots at Cletus's Farm". It takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 9

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Principal Skinner, are you aware that the school library is woefully undersupplied with books on genetic engineering? Well, our funding has been drastically cut back. But we did recently acquire some mid-eighties L.L.Bean catalogs. Quench your thirst for knowledge on those. And while I realize that the latest fad theories in education would dispute this, I've never really felt that girls and science are a good fit. Principal Skinner! I shouldn't have said that, should I? Please, I'm just trying to determine if rabbits can be bred to lay eggs. Ah, yes. Well good luck with your worthy inquiries. Me, I plan on enjoying the free eggs while they're here. Mother never let me go on an egg hunt. She said it was a waste of good food that I'd never find anyway… Task: "Reach Level 9 and Build Springfield Elementary". Task: "Make Skinner Search the School for Eggs". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary School and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 10

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark I don't know. Maybe Dad's right. Maybe these egg-laying bunnies are all just magic and wonder. Hmm, an email in my inbox. From a “D.E. Machina.” DON’T GIVE UP. FOLLOW THE EGGS. SENT FROM MY PHONE. WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY SHOULD I TRUST ANYONE WHO HASN’T TURNED OFF THAT ANNOYING “SENT FROM MY PHONE” SIGNATURE? I KEEP MEANING TO LOOK UP HOW TO DO THAT. SENT FROM MY PHONE. SOMEONE IS BUYING UP ALL THE EGGS. FIND OUT WHO. SENT FROM MY PHONE. FINE. IN THE MEANTIME, GO TO SETTINGS/MAIL/SIGNATURE AND CHANGE THE SIGNATURE TO BLANK. YOU'RE WELCOME. Task: "Make Lisa Follow the Eggs". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 60 minutes. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 11

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Here bunny… *zap* whoo, an egg! Here bunny… Why's everyone so excited about hunting magical bunnies around town? I've been doing it for years. Yeah, but these bunnies aren't drunken hallucinations, Barn. They're real. Oh. Hey, that IS exciting! Yeah, well it don't hold a candle to Whacking Day. There's something about killing defenseless little animals that just warms a creep's heart. Wait -- what am I saying? The only reason people ain't killin' bunnies is because they're squeamish. But there ain't an ounce of squeam in me! Task: "Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern". Task: "Make Moe Hunt Bunnies with Prejudice". The job takes 1 day 12 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 12

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Milhouse, I need your help. Anything for you, Lis. So long as it in no way conflicts with my being a world-class chicken. Or involves breaking any rules of any kind, even rules I know to be stupid and/or unenforceable. Come on, Milhouse. Live a little. I've made it ten years without living. I'm not about to start now. I'm trying to track down where the eggs go after they're redeemed. I need you to buy an Easter Box from the mysterious stranger. If you help me out, Puppy Goo Goo gets invited to every tea party I throw from now on. I can't deny that Puppy Goo Goo's anaemic social life is the greatest concern of my life. Very well, Lisa, I'm in. Task: "Make Lisa Investigate the Easter Boxes". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 13

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark I've tracked the egg shipments to the nuclear plant. I think Mr. Burns may be behind this evil plot! Like he's behind every single evil plot Springfield has ever faced? Yeah, this town could use another villain. But first, we need to break into the nuclear plant. How good are you at climbing fences? Coach Krupt has called me “the most disappointing physical specimen ever to grasp a dodgeball.” Compared to my P.E. assessment, that's a compliment. Looks like you're the man for the job! Task: "Make Milhouse Sneak into the Control Building". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours. There's a whole egg factory in there! Bunnies laying eggs as far as the eye can see! Wait a second, if Mr. Burns can produce his own eggs, why is he buying up everyone else's? It doesn't make sense! I'm sure Hubert Wong could figure it out. Well, he hasn't been added to the town yet. And anyway, I'm smarter than Hubert Wong. ... I am TOO smarter! Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 14

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Must get every Easter Box prize… Must complete set… Life meaningless until all are mine… Snap out of it, man! Quit letting a randomized outcome rule your life. Oh, it's not random. There's a pattern, I'm sure of it. Just like there's a pattern to how we walk around town… I assume. Maybe you should just go to work. Then you could earn enough money to buy the things you want outright. What's the point of that? There's no drama, no delectable tension. Besides, Mr. Burns told all his employees to take the month off and collect eggs. Which I find in no way suspicious! Now shut up. According to an online forum post I just read, the next Easter Box I buy is guaranteed to pay off big! Guaranteed! Task: "Buy another Easter Box". Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 15

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark Lisa, everyone in town but you and me is obsessed with egg-collecting. Follow the eggs… follow the eggs, he said… Oh my God, it's got my sister, too. Well, as the only non-zombified person here, I owe it to the town I love to embark on a massive crime spree. To the spray paint store! Wait! Bart, an anonymous whistle blower is emailing me clues about the scientific origins of the bunnies. I have to find out who it is. To catch a geek, hire an even bigger geek. Task: "Make Bart Question Comic Book Guy". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon and takes 4 hours. You have come to the right place. On the internet, no one can hide from… FREAKZILLA48! That's a pretty lame handle for a cyberwarrior. What can I say -- FREAKZILLA1 through FREAKZILLA47 were taken. Anyhoo, typety-typety… “D.E.Machina” appears to be originating from a server that goes by the name “Sax on the Beach.” *gasp* “Sax on the Beach” is the title of Bleeding Gum Murphy's only album! If this mystery involves jazz in any way, I vote we let this whole town go to hell. Seconded! Horrible, horrible music. For your information, jazz is America's-- --only indigenous art form? Yes, we've all heard that argument before. And yet the music still blows. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 16

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Maybe if we listen to “Sax on the Beach,” we'll find a clue as to why these bunnies were bred. Listen to jazz? I'd rather die. Seriously. That's not an expression. I honestly, rationally choose death over jazz. I really don't understand this hatred for America's-- ONLY INDIGENOUS ART FORM??? WE GET IT!!! IT'S STILL GROWN MEN NOODLING AROUND ON WIND INSTRUMENTS FOR HOURS ON END. Sorry. Look, you're my sister. And despite that fact, I like you. On rare occasions. But don't ask this of me. If I hear lick one, I will literally vomit to death. Task: "Make Lisa Listen to a Bleeding Gums Murphy Album". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 17

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark It's strange. Most of Murphy's songs are about the love of his life, but I can't remember him mentioning a special woman. In fact, the only obsession I recall him having was for Faberge Eggs… Eggs? As in Easter Eggs? But Faberge eggs are crazy expensive. You'd have to be fantastically wealthy to acquire even one. As wealthy as… MR. BURNS! It all fits! It's time for D.E. MACHINA to come clean. Task: "Make Lisa Contact the Whistleblower". The job takes place at The Java Server and takes 24 hours. BURNS PAID FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EGG-LAYING BUNNIES. BUT WHY? HOW WILL CREATING LOTS OF EGGS HELP HIM ACQUIRE A 'FABERGE' EGG? WHAT INTERESTS A MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING? WHY, THE IMPOSSIBLE, OF COURSE. YOU ARE ALMOST THERE. THINK, BY GLAYVIN! WAIT, “GLAYVIN?” PROFESSOR FRINK, IS THIS YOU? NO! FOR HOYVIN-MAYVEN'S SAKE! OKAY, FINE, YES. IT'S ME. WITH THE SLIP-UPS, AND THE POOR WORD CHOICE, AND THE WHY DIDN'T I ERASE THAT BEFORE HITTING “SEND?” Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Pt. 18

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark So it was you who engineered these rabbits? I never suspected it would be the one and only scientist in town! It's true. I gave life to these adorable abominations. Sooooo fluffy, sooooo cursed. Glayvin. But why reach out to me? Because I knew it was wrong. My delicate nerd bones crumple under the weight of a three-pound backpack, let alone a half ton of guilt. Burns' farm is enormous, and those rabbits breed like overly libidinous I-can't-think-of-the-word. It was inevitable a few rabbits would escape into the wild. And Burns doesn't want to lose their eggs! That leaves only one question left to answer. Task: "Make Lisa Confront Mr. Burns". The job takes place at the Control Building, requires Mr. Burns, and takes 8 hours. Why did I do it? You see, I've collected nearly all the Faberge eggs that survive to this day. And it wasn't easy. You have no idea how difficult stealing from Russian oligarchs is. “Paranoid” doesn't begin to describe those guys. But there's one kind of Faberge even THEY don't have. A naturally-occurring one. And so I hired Frink to create a creature that just might someday lay one. o that's why you needed every single egg. On the off chance that one might contain your prize. Ha! I guess even the super-rich are powerless against the endless, unquenchable urge to collect things they don't need. Of course! It's universal. A fact for which all of us in this digital town should be very grateful. Hmm, I guess if people weren't suckers for collecting, EA would have no reason to keep updating this game. Exactly. So stop pointing out how useless this whole endeavor is, you idiot! We need these people! Message All bunnies now have a rare chance to plop out the elusive Natural Faberge Egg. Message Or, if you're completely, utterly sick to death of randomly-generated events, you can get it from the store. Quest reward: 250/250 and 10

Behind the Laughter

The following dialogue was cut from Pt. 2:

No one doesn't like pummeling bunny rabbits, but you know what's even more fun? Getting a whole mess of eggs all at once! And you can! With my latest, least-plausible invention to date! They're very few amps. Patent pending, but probably Nathan Myhrvold already owns something vaguely similar and is preparing a lawsuit. Which means you should act now, before I'm forced to shutter my business!
