Pt. 1

|
|
The, er, Renaissance Pleasure Fair is next week, my good fop.
|
|
That is good to know, as I believe the Renaissance provided much fair pleasure. My name is Jefferson.
|
|
Thomas Jefferson?
|
|
You know me?
|
|
Yes. You're on the $2 bill.
|
|
Memorialized in currency you say? What a fine tribute.
|
|
Well, er, I'm not sure it's as big a deal as you think.
|
|
|
And who might you be?
|
|
|
Joe Quimby, Mayor of Springfield. Hence the, er, sash.
|
|
|
Springfield, eh. May I guess in which state?
|
|
If you, er, must...
|
Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Guess Where Springfield Is". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Quimby Stand Around Awkwardly". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Are you going to make your guess, er, out loud?
|
|
|
No, I'm convinced I know the answer.
|
|
|
Is that, er, so?
|
|
Are you questioning my knowledge of the nation I helped found? Sir, I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.
|
|
I didn't hear "geography scholar" in there.

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Thomas Jefferson's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I'm basing my guess on your quaint regional accent which I find reminiscent of John Adams.
|
|
|
Yeah well, er, it's more like a later President.
|
|
|
Oh, you must mean his son John Quincy.
|
|
|
I've been mayor for over 35 years and I've never been compared to, er, John Quincy Adams.
|
|
|
You've been mayor for over 35 years?
|
|
That's right. Diamond Joe Quimby's motto is "Leadership you count on. And on and on and on."
|
|
|
That sounds more like tyranny than leadership!
|
|
|
Who've you been talking to?
|
|
|
Citizens of Springfield! Hearken to my voice! When in the course of human events...
|
Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Declare a Declaration". The job takes 4 hours.
If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Quimby Run Off". The job takes place at Visitable Homes and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
...we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor!
|
|
Boy, you sure talk purdy!
|
|
|
Thank you, sir. What became of your Mayor?
|
|
Quimby? He done did a runner whilst you were self-evidenting your truths.
|
|
Splendid. I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny.
|
|
That's just what I'm always swearin' against with Brandine. But she don't like when I swear.

Pt. 3
| After tapping on Thomas Jefferson's exclamation mark
|
|
Say, you're the feller on the nickel, ain't ya?
|
|
|
Currency AND coinage?! What an even finer tribute!
|
|
|
Well, er, I'm not sure it's as big a deal as you think.
|
|
|
Tell me more about my modern legacy.
|
|
|
Shucks, y'all better go talk to the folks up at the school fer that...
|
|
|
...'cause you is wearin' high stockins and buckled shoes and that ain't no modern leg-I-see. *runs off*
|
| Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Head to Springfield Elementary". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or the Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Thomas Jefferson?
|
|
|
Ahh, you must be a scholar of our nation's founding.
|
|
Not exactly. Mother made me shell out two grand for Hamilton tickets.
|
|
|
Hamilton? As in Alexander?
|
|
|
Yes, it's musical theater. But I don't think you'd like it.
|
|
|
No? But I adore theater. I saw Moliere's original work in Paris. George Washington and I met at the theater. What makes you say I wouldn't like it?
|
|
Well, um... you don't come off too well in it...

Pt. 4
| After tapping on Thomas Jefferson's exclamation mark
|
|
Principal Skinner, who are you talking to?
|
|
Oh, thank goodness, Lisa Simpson, this is Thomas Jefferson.
|
|
|
Enchanté, mademoiselle.
|
|
*giggles*
|
|
|
Lisa, maybe you can explain to Mr. Jefferson how he is perceived in the modern world. *runs off*
|
|
|
Just a minute. You called him "Principal". Am I to be lectured by a child instead of by the school's master?
|
|
Yes, well, maybe we should start with that word: "master".
|
Task: "Make Lisa Wonder Why This Always Happens to Her". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or the Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Slowly Stop Smiling". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or the Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
This is confounding. Most confounding.
|
|
I'm sorry, President Jefferson.
|
|
|
Does it count for naught that I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia?
|
|
Let's just say, there are other complicating factors.

Pt. 5
| After tapping on Thomas Jefferson's exclamation mark
|
|
|
No, this won't do at all.
|
|
Mr. President?
|
|
|
I must redeem my image in the eyes of modern Americans. Do people know of the Louisiana Purchase, which more than doubled the size of our great nation?
|
|
Sure, but at what cost to the indigenous peoples?
|
|
|
The who now?
|
|
Oh boy.
|
Task: "Make Lisa Explain Native American History". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or the Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Become Increasingly Annoyed". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or the Jefferson Memorial and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
So you're saying that one of my greatest achievements as president is now viewed as brutal colonialism?
|
|
Well...not to everyone.
|
|
|
No?
|
|
Most Americans don't know or care enough to think about it in the least.
|
|
|
Aaaargh!

Pt. 6
| After tapping on Thomas Jefferson's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I have a solution! I'll make another great purchase and then my legacy will be restored.
|
|
Uh, what are you thinking of purchasing?
|
|
|
Why, property, of course! The greatest investment anyone can make.
|
|
|
I don't know... Becoming a real estate tycoon may not be the best way for a former president to win universal acclaim these days.
|
|
|
How would you spend my money?
|
|
Hmm, for the cost of a decent-sized piece of property in Springfield... you could get two tickets to Hamilton.
|
| Task: "Make Thomas Jefferson Look for Another Great Purchase". The job takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
I can't live here. The game developers didn't create Monticello, so I have no home.
|
|
|
Oh, don't worry about it. You'll spend nearly all your time wandering around the streets or hiding in one of the Brown Houses.
|
|
|
But I was the author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father—
