Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After starting the update
|
|
Is everything all right, Homie? You have that "I-ate-everything-in-the-fridge" sad look, but there's still food in the fridge.
|
|
I've got those things Lisa plays on her sax.
|
|
The blues?
|
|
No, the keys. Keys to the same sucky car I've been driving for 20 years.
|
|
It doesn't even have a brand. There comes a time in a man's life when he wants to drive a brand-name car.
|
|
|
We can't afford a new car, but maybe you can boost your mood by fixing up your old car. In some cultures, men express themselves by personalizing their cars.
|
|
In my culture, men express themselves by not expressing themselves… then going nuts.
|
| Task: "Make Homer Fix Up His Car". The job takes place at Homer's Car or the Simpson House and takes 30 minutes.
|
|
Goodness, Homer, where did you find all those tubes?
|
|
|
Under the hood. There was a whole closet full of old junk in there.
|
|
Is it safe with all that stuff taken out?
|
|
Safer than ever, since it doesn't go. Time to get a new car!

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Dad, I need your help.
|
|
If it's women trouble, there ain't nothing that can't be fixed with a Mexican divorce. Oaxaca's the fastest, Jalisco's the cheapest, and Acapulco'll throw in another wedding.
|
|
|
No, I need your help picking out a car. All I know about them is how to hire people to drive you around in them using your phone.
|
|
You got it! Whatcha looking for -- pushrod V-8, Edelbrock cylinder heads, four-piston brakes?
|
|
Brakes, definitely. And a motor. And one of those cup-holders that can hold a big cup or a little cup. That's a must. Although I'd settle for big-cup-only.
|
|
I'll take it from here, son.
|
Task: "Make Homer List Out Required Features". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle or Simpson House and takes 30 minutes.
If Grampa is owned: Task: "Make Grampa Scour the Classifieds". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle or Simpson House and takes 30 minutes.

1958 Car
|
|
It only has 1,958 miles, that's amazing!
|
|
|
That's the model year, ya ninny.
|
|
|
I wondered why someone from the year 500,000 was selling their car so cheap. Figured it was the rise of the robots or whatever.
|
|
Pt. 3
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I can't drive this old hunk of junk. My investors will lose confidence in my dinosaur theme park before we splice gene one!
|
|
|
That's why we're going to fix it up. Okay, first we need to read the manual, then we need to make a checklist…
|
|
Ugh! Working on a car should be manly, like binge-watching a TV show or eating a giant sandwich. This is like homework.
|
|
Did somebody say homework?
|
|
|
I did. Did somebody say binge watching TV and eating a giant sandwich?
|
|
You did.
|
|
And I'm off!
|
Task: "Make Lisa Fix Up the Car". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 3 hours.
If Grampa is owned: Task: "Make Grampa Fix Up the Car". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 3 hours.

| Reward: Pristine 1958 Car
|
|
|
I don't remember this unsightly blemish.
|
|
|
That's your reflection in the hand-buffed wax, idjit.
|
|
|
My reflection looks fat! Can you buff me out -- or at least buff me more buff?
|
|
|
You don't deserve a beaut like this!
|
|
|
Deserving is un-American. Make with the keys, old timer.

|
Pt. 4
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
|
You know what, Dad? As a sign of thanks for fixing up this car, and picking it out, and unknowingly letting me pay for it with your credit card… I want you to have it!
|
|
|
Really?! That's the nicest, and quite possibly only nice, thing you've ever done for me.
|
|
|
And to show you my appreciation for your appreciation, I'm going to let you take her on her maiden spin.
|
|
|
Now treat her like a lady -- open her door, push back her seat, and go to town in her!
|

Tune in this Sunday at 8/7c on FOX to see Grampa get his groove back!

You ruined the car without leaving the driveway!
|
|
|
Like you were going to do any better with it. You're old!
