Dialogue

Pt. 1

After starting the update Lisa! Wanna see a magic trick? It's not the old coin-behind-the-ear one, is it? Because you do that trick, like, a lot. Look! You've got something behind your ear! It's just that every time you pull out the coin, I'm expected to act all surprised. It's a lot to ask of an eight-year-old. It's a COIN behind your ear! Surprised? ... Wait! Grampa, this coin is made of gold! Where did you get it? I told you -- magic! And speaking of magic, wanna see a trick? I think you've got something behind your ear… Not now! I want to find out where this coin came from. I've never seen anything so beautiful… Task: "Make Lisa Research Gold Coin". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.

Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Grampa! This gold coin is an ultra-rare 1879 U.S. Triple Eagle! It's priceless! Where did you get it? Well, the last time I wore these pants was a hundred-some years ago. The late eighteen hundreds, it was. During the Springfield Gold Rush. How old ARE you? I'm however old I need to be to make the story work, silly! Guys! I came as soon as I heard a relative had money! What's up? Lisa's all excited because of a gold coin I found years ago in a saloon in Old Springfield. Then there's only one thing to do -- rebuild Old Springfield and find more wonderful gold! Hold on. Even if there WAS gold in Old Springfield, why would a replica built today have any gold in it? It's video game logic, sweetie. Trust me. There'll be gold. But-- Shhhhh. Video game logic. Task: "Build the Town Plaza". It takes 6 seconds. Hey, hey, hey! How come youse built another bar in town? You trying to compete with Moe's? It's not a bar, Moe. It's a wild west SALOON. It's got horse poop on the stairs, rotgut in unmarked bottles, guys shootin' each other over poker hands -- it's way nicer than my place! Relax. We're just rebuilding Old Springfield so that there'll be piles of gold in Today Springfield. Gold? Did you say GOLD? Shoot. I did. Well, as long as the gold remains a secret between you and me. GOLD?! I always wanted to be Mayor of a boomtown. I declare the Springfield Gold Rush officially open! Gold mining land claims are available for lease from the Town Hall. Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I can barely move -- there's people everywhere. Hey, idiots, get off the street! We're trying to have a Gold Rush here! They just want to strike it rich, same as you. Come on. I love money WAY more than these guys. Oh, they'll all SAY they like money, but you can tell they don't really mean it. Not like me. Time to thin the herd. Hey, Carl! I found an old treasure map. It said “to find the gold, turn east at the Kwik-E-Mart and walk one billion paces. Then start digging.” Thanks for the tip, Homes! Lenny! Did you hear the rumor? There's gold in them thar hills! Them hills right thar? No, them other hills just past them thar hills. Head thar-a-way, and keep going for a few weeks. You'll know you're thar when you get thar. Gold, here I come! Lisa, quick! Try to figure out where the gold really is. Use your book larnin'! Only if you stop talking like that.

I did what any friend would -- gladly screw a pal over a few bucks. I'd sure love to have a bare knuckles brawl with you. But I feel that a wild west saloon is no proper place for such behavior. I feel this strongly. Are you kidding? Let's brawl! After finishing the tasks I couldn't find any clues to the whereabouts of the gold, Dad. Not now, sweetie. Daddy's brawling. Be a lamb and hand me that breakaway chair, will you? If you need me, I'll be cowering behind the bar with the prostitutes. Quest Reward: 128 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark You, sir! Are you a desperate fortune-seeker whose lust for gold has weakened his grip on reality? I like to think so. Well, you can't be a genuine sourdough without my authentic, old-timey, Wild West knick-knacks and accoutrements! It's true. Movie cowboys never shut up about their precious accoutrements. I want everything you got! Task: "Build the General Store". It takes 6 seconds. Task: "Complete a General Store Exchange". Task: "Unlock and Place the Cactus Rock". Quest Reward: 100 and 10/10/10

Now gimme all your cash, 4k OLED ultra-thin internet-ready telly-visions and whiskey! I can take the being robbed at knifepoint, gunpoint, and even fingerpoint. But Homer J.
