Dialogue[edit]
| After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark:
|
|
*suck* *suck*
|
|
Oh, you want to go for a walk with Mommy? That's one job I'd love to do!
|
|
Wait, I'm sure I've seen you carrying her around town before.
|
|
That was just a sack of flour.
|
|
And all those Mommy & Me classes?
|
|
Also the flour. I needed to get out of the house. It's not easy taking care of a bag of flour twenty-four hours a day.
|
| Task: "Make Marge Take Maggie for a Walk". The job takes 8 hours.
|
|
|
It's so much nicer carrying a real baby than a flour baby. Finally I can show you off to all the gluten-free moms!
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10

|
| After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark
|
|
|
*suck* *suck*
|
|
Again? Sweetie, we just finished a walk five minutes ago.
|
|
|
*suck* *suck*
|
|
|
If I wanted a job that took eight hours a day, I'd get one that paid.
|
|
|
Just kidding. Who's ever heard of a "working mother"?
|
| Task: "Make Marge Take Maggie for a Quick Walk". The job takes 4 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark
|
|
|
*suck* *suck*
|
|
Ugh, Maggie -- I simply can't go on another walk with you. Maybe if there was a stroller in this game, or at least a Baby Bjorn.
|
|
|
How about I get your Daddy to walk you instead?
|
|
Sorry, I'm already busy watching Maggie. She's holding my beer and showing me this really interesting recipe for cookies.
|
|
That's the bag of flour!
|
| Task: "Make Homer Spit Take". The job takes 6 seconds.
|
|
You tricked me, Flour Maggie. You'll rue this day... or should I say roux this day!
|
|
Hahahaha! That's-a funny-a one-a! Finally a joke-a for me, Luigi!
|
|
Glad you liked it. I said it, but I don't get it.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark
|
|
Mom, maybe you should enroll Maggie in daycare. Outsourcing our responsibilities as human beings is an American tradition.
|
|
|
Let my kids be raised by someone else? Wouldn't that be acknowledging my failure as a mother?
|
|
Can someone drive me down to the police station? Wiggum left the lens cap on when he took my mug shot last week.
|
|
|
Then again, trying something new with parenting isn't always a bad idea.
|
Task: "Make Marge Research Daycare". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Build the Police Station".
Task: "Make Homer Take Bart to Retake His Mug Shot". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours.
|
|
I had no idea how important daycare is for babies.
|
|
|
Did you know that babies that don't attend daycare are 100% less likely to form memories in daycare?
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I didn't want to enroll Maggie in a daycare where all they do is paint, clap their hands and listen to music.
|
|
|
But then I found out about preschools, where children learn to paint, clap their hands and listen to music.
|
|
But isn't preschool just the same thing as daycare?
|
|
No sweetie, they have different names -- one which sounds like we're good parents, and one which sounds like we're lazy.
|
|
But they do the same things! The only difference is that daycare is a little bit cheaper.
|
|
Cheaper, eh?
|
Task: "Make Marge Apply to Preschools". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Homer Apply to Daycares". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Maggie was too young for any of the schools I applied to.
|
|
There's a bunch of elementary schools in this town, even a high school, but nothing for pre-K.
|
|
|
We did get into the Stonecutter's Daycare, but that was a limited-time building from a long time ago. Almost no one's got it.
|
|
There's only one thing to do. We need to build something new.
|
|
|
Got it. I'll build the fire department -- you get the basket!
|
|
|
That's not what I meant.
|
| Task: "Build Ayn Rand School for Tots". It takes 4 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
I'm sorry, but we can't accept your daughter Maggie. We received your application too late.
|
|
Too late?! This place just came into existence!
|
|
|
If you loved your child, you'd have found a way around that. As it is now, our wait list is several years long.
|
|
|
So I needed to apply when I was pregnant?
|
|
|
No, you needed to apply when you first signed up for ReadyToSettle.com.
|
|
|
This is stupid! And I know stupid -- I'm the guy who blew up this town in the first place!
|
|
|
Are you threatening to let that happen again if I don't let Maggie into our school?
|
|
|
I wasn't. Should I?
|
|
|
No, we would never kowtow to the threat of violence. We do however kowtow to the threat of stupidity.
|
|
|
The only way we can ensure someone with as dangerously inept a parent as yourself doesn't become dangerously inept herself is to educate her.
|
Task: "Make Homer Mention Blowing up the Town". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Maggie Start at Preschool". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 8 hours.
|
|
Wow. My stupidity scares people into giving me what I want? I'm just like President Bush!
|
|
|
Bush isn't president anymore.
|
|
He's not?! Is he king now?
|
|
Maggie can start today! Please, Mr. Simpson, just don't go to work.
|

|
|
| After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark
|
|
The IRS finally found out that I faked my own death, so I've got to call in all your bar tabs.
|
|
Hey Moe, remember that time I blew up the town?
|
|
No need to go crazy, Homer. I'll just make up a fake dependent I never see because my fake ex-wife got custody.
|
|
How about Hazel? I've always wanted to lose custody of a Hazel.
|
Task: "Make Homer Mention Blowing up the Town". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Moe Tear Up Homer's Bar Tab". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 12 hours.
|

|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
Sir, you can't park there.
|
|
Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I blew up the town?
|
|
Yarrr, we have a quota of five hundred shrimp per all-you-can-eat session.
|
|
|
Blew Up The Town.
|
|
There is no possible way we can name a holiday after you!

B.U.T.T.

The first in the eight day celebration we call Homerka!
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Mr. Burns! I demand a raise... as well as paid time off for Homerka, Rosh Homershana, and Simpsom Kipur.
|
|
|
Keep in mind that I'm that guy who blew up the town, and that will make you say yes to me for some reason.
|
|
No, you're the man who THINKS he blew up the town. The truth is you had nothing to do with it.
|
| Task: "Make Homer Do 10-Hour Spit Take". The job takes 10 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I distinctly remember destroying the town. There's even a video of it you can watch in the front of the store menu.
|
|
Pish. You were at your workstation... or should I say "doesn't work"-station.
|
|
I had it disabled years ago, on the recommendation of every other safety inspector at the plant.
|
|
|
What you've been working on is nothing more than a child's toy with spinny wheels and lights that blink when you push the big button.
|
|
Oh!!! So THAT'S how you get the lights to blink.
|
Task: "Make Homer Play at His Workstation". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Maggie Teach Homer How It Works". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours.

Sing together, A, B, C...

You're the head of plant safety...
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark
|
|
One Duff beer for you and one Duff pureed beets for the baby. That'll be 12 dollars.
|
|
|
Put it on my tab, and then rip up that tab unless you want me to blow up the town again.
|
|
Nice try. Lenny and Carl overheard your conversation with Mr. Burns and told me all about it.
|
|
Sorry, buddy. Slow news day.
|
|
Thanks a lot! Just wait 'til everyone thinks YOU blew up the universe when YOU really didn't and YOU want to keep it a secret!
|
Task: "Make Homer Drown His Sorrows in Beer". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Maggie Drown Her Sorrows in Beets". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 4 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark
|
|
|
So if Homer didn't blow up Springfield, who did?
|
|
|
I guess we'll never know, unless someone who witnessed the events miraculously steps forward. Perhaps at this very moment...
|
|
*suck* *suck*
|
|
Hey, I think Maggie's trying to tell us something!
|
|
Say it again slowly.
|
|
|
*suck* ... *suck*
|
|
Okay, that didn't work. Why don't you just draw it on this napkin?
|
|
|
|
So the one-eyebrowed baby blew up the town? How is that possible?
|
|
|
Well, Maggie DID shoot Mr. Burns. And there's that baby that talks in the E*Trade ads. Kids today are precocious.
|
|
We've got to go to Maggie's preschool and look for this evil baby.
|
Task: "Make Homer Search for the Unibrow Bomber". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 16 hours.

|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
Check out what I found in the Unibrow Baby's cubby. It looks like a manifesto!
|
|
I can't read this. It's all illegible crayon scribbles.
|
|
|
The only thing I can tell for certain is that whoever wrote this is a deranged sicko.
|
|
That's not the manifesto -- that's my memoir "Why Not Moe?".
|
|
|
Here's the thing the baby wrote.
|
|
Oh, okay. This is much more legible.
|
  
|
|
|
Who is this "ROSA"?
|
|
|
You're not pronouncing it right! You need to roll the R. R-r-r-r-r-osa!
|
|
|
Mr. Burns?! Why are you here?
|
|
|
I'm looking for the nuclear plant's next Vice President of Operations.
|
|
|
You mean I'm getting promoted?
|
|
Get real, fopdoodle! This job requires someone more youthful and full of energy!
|
| Task: "Make Mr. Burns Recruit Babies to Work". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 12 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
|
|
This daycare is excellent! I haven't had such a steady supply of child labor since the plant did "Take Your Child to Work Month."
|
|
|
Oh yeah, Maggie loved that "screw in tiny screws for an hour" game!
|
|
|
Wait a minute! You force babies to do manual labor at the plant?
|
|
|
I don't, no. That's why I built R.O.S.A. -- the Robotic Offspring-Sitting Automaton.
|
|
Oh right, that was the silver lady in the manifesto.
|
|
|
Okay, enough explaining! Let's get back to reading it already.
|
  
|
|
|
Wow, this R.O.S.A. looks like a real task-master, making those babies do her bidding.
|
|
|
I would never let someone order ME around like that.
|
| Task: "Make Homer Go on a Job". The job takes 8 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
So Mr. Burns built a robot to exploit babies, one of the babies got mad, and the whole universe blew up. It all makes sense.
|
|
|
None of that makes sense, Homer.
|
|
|
Especially the part about my robot exploiting babies. She was incentivizing them!
|
|
|
She gave them sugar to make them work, Benadryl to make them sleep, and donuts as a reward for a job well done.
|
|
Mmm... donuts. Also, mmm... sugar and mmm... Benadryl.
|
|
It seems like we're still missing a piece of the story.
|
|
|
Well, R.O.S.A. had a built-in nanny-cam. If we could recover her pieces, perhaps we could see what happened right before the explosion.
|
|
|
*moans* I knew this was going to turn into collecting things.
|
| Message
|
Make your Springfielders search the town for R.O.S.A.'s scattered parts. Keep looking until you find all of them!
|
| Task: "Find R.O.S.A Parts" (x24).
|
| After finding one part
|
|
We found a part! It looks like... a leg.
|
|
|
It's an arm, Dad.
|
|
|
Nope. I'm pretty sure it's a leg. This robot must be tiny!
|
|
It is not tiny! That's an arm...
|
|
|
Let's keep looking everyone, only a few parts to go! Almost there.
|
|
Yes, let's rebuild the tiny robot and find out what happened.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
|
|
We've found all the R.O.S.A. pieces except one... her feather duster.
|
|
|
What does she even have a feather duster for? She's a nanny, not a maid.
|
|
|
Children get dusty too. But we need that piece -- it contains the surrogate motherboard.
|
|
|
But it's impossible! We've looked everywhere!
|
|
|
Everywhere in our MAIN Springfield. But there's one place we haven't looked...
|
|
|
Oh God, no. You don't mean...
|
|
|
That's right. That place we dread... that haunts us in our nightmares... that we pretend doesn't even exist...
|
|
|
Krustyland.
|
|
Nooooooooooo!!!!
|
|
|
Nooooooooooo!!!!
|
|
|
Nooooooooooo!!!!
|
|
|
Let's just draw straws and get this over with.
|
Task: "Make Homer Draw the Short Straw". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 60 seconds.
Task: "Build the Krustyland Shuttlebus".
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Woo-hoo! I drew the short straw so I don't have to go, and all you long straw guys are stuck going to Krustyland.
|
|
|
That ain't the way drawing straws work, Homer.
|
|
|
ARRGGGGHHH!
|
|
|
Fine, I'll go. If the shuttle crashes on the way to Krustyland, tell Marge and the kids I died happy because I didn't make it to Krustyland.
|
| Task: "Go to Krustyland".
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Ugh, this place is awful... and it's so far from Springfield. That shuttle bus took like 16 seconds!
|
|
|
It's the only amusement park so boring that even the gangs won't come here!
|
| Task: "Make Homer Find the Last R.O.S.A. Part A.S.A.P. to Get Out of Krustyland". The job takes place at the Krustyland Entrance and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Bye, Krustyland. Forever this time. I'm serious.
|
|
|
Would you like your hand stamped so you can re-enter?
|
|
|
Has anyone ever asked to re-enter this place?
|
|
|
No. Thank you for not punching me in the face for asking.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After completing Pt. 19
|
| Task: "Go to Springfield".
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After completing Pt. 20
|
|
|
Okay, we've assembled all the pieces. Let's turn this robot on.
|
|
Hello, I am R.O.S.A. What can I do for you, mister?
|
|
|
Ooh, mister. I like her already.
|
|
|
We need to see your video from right before the explosion.
|
|
|
Of course. Please enter the password.
|
|
|
Password?
|
| New Character: R.O.S.A
|
| Task: "Make Homer Guess Mr. Burns's Password". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 12 hours.
|
|
|
Did you try "Excellent"?
|
|
|
Yeah, it didn't work.
|
|
|
Try "Excellent1".
|
|
|
That's it! His catchphrase plus the year he was born.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I'm confused. What were those things the one-eyebrowed baby put in R.O.S.A.'s battery compartment?
|
|
|
Fuel rods. You know, the things your job is to keep from overheating?
|
|
|
Oh, that makes sense.
|
|
|
Now that that's clarified, can you explain everything else that happened in the video?
|
|
No. But if anyone asks me at a dinner party, I'm going to say yes so that people don't think I'm stupid.
|
|
|
Regardless of whether that scene had a meaning or not, the important thing is that we spend hours debating it's meaning in the Tapped Out forums!
