Dialogue

Pt. 1

After starting the update
Skinner All right students, as you know assemblies mean I have dispiriting news.
Skinner Government funding is better for sports than academics, so we are now focusing on that. Seems the teachers that always wore sweat pants were ahead of the curve.
Milhouse - Scared Sports? I'm allergic to those. And dust. And cotton. And my own hair.
Skinner This isn't easy for any of us. I have to attend a seminar on the proper operation of a whistle.
Skinner - Sad What if there's an exam at the end?!
Task: "Make Youngsters Play Basketball Instead of Doing Math" (x5). The jobs take place at Springfield Elementary and take 4 hours.
Task: "Make Milhouse Shoot Some Hoops". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 4 hours.
Milhouse - Excited I now have a whole new relationship with sports. It's based on mutual respect!
Bart It's still school. Haven't you noticed "Coach" Largo is waving a baton?
Milhouse But my shots are going in. That's a thing my shots don't normally do!
Message Don't forget to check out the store, where a fine selection of limited time sports items are now available!

Pt. 2

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
Skinner Milhouse, you're really enjoying basketball. You remind me of me when I first discovered the joy of following rules.
Milhouse I love the swish sound when the ball goes in the net. Reminds me of the sound my legs make when I wear corduroy pants.
Skinner How odd. Anyway, we acquired an outdoor court. For half price - it's a half-court.
Milhouse - Excited This is great! I feel like Dr. J! Not the player, my "private talks" doctor. He plays in a league with other therapists!
Task: "Place the Outdoor Basketball Half-Court".
Task: "Make Milhouse Practice His Two-Pointers". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 2 hours.
Bart - Annoyed I can't believe you get special treatment 'cause you're good at basketball. It's almost like this school doesn't appreciate pranking at all.
Milhouse You could join me. You know, like how up until now I've done everything you want?
Bart Please. Our relationship is based on your blind obedience. That's why it works.

Pt. 3

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
Milhouse - Excited Hey Bart, did you change your mind? Who's that guy?
Anger Watkins This blue-haired, weak-eyed, quiver-voiced kid is who you've been bragging about?!
Bart - Sneaky Milhouse, this is Anger Watkins, a famous sports reporter with an even more famous short temper. He wants to watch you. Don't be nervous because he's totally judging you.
Anger Watkins I'm judging you, this school, and even those clouds. You call that cumulonimbus? Please! I find better fluff in my navel after wearing a wool sweater. Now shoot the ball, four eyes!
Task: "Make Milhouse Practice Very Nervously". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 2 hours.
Anger Watkins I've been covering basketball a long time, but I'm not even sure how to describe this pathetic display.
Anger Watkins - Annoyed I need to go home, heat up some canned ravioli, and then sit down and write an apology note to my eyes for making them watch this garbage! I can already tell this is going to be a four stress ball night!
Message Angry sportscaster Anger Watkins can now be purchased from the store!

Pt. 4

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
Milhouse - Sad Bart, why would you do this?
Bart I thought a famous sportscaster mocking you would be funny. And, I'm proud to say, my instincts were right. You should be happy for me.
Milhouse - Worried I finally found something that made me feel good and then you made me feel bad about it.
Milhouse - Scared Wow! I think... I think... I think I'm about to stand up for myself.
Task: "Make Milhouse Fight Bart". The job takes place at the Outdoor Half-Court and takes 4 hours.
After starting the job
Anger Watkins - Surprised I can't believe it! The blue-haired boy has attacked his friend with the same level of intense fury I use to brush my teeth.
Anger Watkins - Surprised The foundations of their friendship have been hit with an explosion of anger that seems to have simmered longer than a well-made tomato sauce!
Anger Watkins - Sad I see now I may be somewhat responsible for this. I need a diversion so the guilt can't sink in. How about some road rage? That always works!
After finishing the task
Bart - Sad OK Milhouse, it took being punched in the guts to realize I may have been wrong. I'm sorry. I was jealous of how good you were at b-ball.
Milhouse I prefer if you call it "my mad hoop skills". But I forgive you. Van Houtens can't hold grudges, or in my Dad's case, jobs.
Message Does Bart ever give basketball a chance? Is Anger Watkins even a real character? Tune in to The Simpsons this Sunday 8/7C on FOX!
