Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Mr. Burns Your rapacious grasping is inspiring, but to truly master the Ladder to Loot, you have to push others down as you pull yourself up.
Jay G - Excited So wise. Where do I begin, Monty Miyagi?
Mr. Burns - Happy Start with your own employees. You know what they say -- cruelty begins at home!
Task: "Make Burns Torment Power Plant Workers". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Make Jay G Be Mentored". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 3 hours.
Mr. Burns Fear is the aspiring loot-o-crat's greatest tool. For example, spreading a rumor that you're going to downsize will motivate employees to both work harder and accept lower pay!
Jay G I like the ring of that rung, Monty! How'd you get to be so street?
Mr. Burns - Diabolical I'm a Springfield O.G. – octogenarian grouch.
Jay G Word.
Mr. Burns Two words, actually. But I take your point.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Mr. Burns The next rung is to realize that ruthlessness never rests. There are opportunities for malevolence in every situation... including a lovely dinner out with a friend.
Jay G What are you thinking, Monty? Should we stiff them on the tip? Run out on the check? Both?
Mr. Burns Excellent ideas, Jay. You're zooming up the ladder. And for an extra larf, we can harass the staff before we stiff them!
Task: "Make Burns & Jay G Harass the Wait Staff". The job takes place at Eateries and takes 3 hours.
Mr. Burns - Happy The waiter quit, the hostess cried, and the busboy tried to drown himself in his dish bucket -- I'd call that a successful evening!
Jay G - Annoyed To tell the truth, I felt a little bit sorry when the hostess started to cry, because I knew that sooner or later she was going to stop!
Mr. Burns Mocking your victims' suffering -- you've mastered another rung!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Mr. Burns It's important not to lose sight of the basics -- ruthlessness should be fun! If you're not having a good time at someone else's expense, you're doing it wrong!
Jay G How do you keep the evil popping when you're just hanging on the corner?
Mr. Burns A degrading jape is never more than a dollar away. Watch me manipulate the greed of someone less fortunate!
Task: "Make Burns & Jay G Glue Money to the Pavement". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 3 hours.
Mr. Burns There -- right in the natural sight line of the broken down sidewalk-starer.
Jay G - Excited Here comes a sucker now. It looks like he's wearing Will Loman's hand-me-downs.
Gil - Happy A dollar! Holy moly -- this is the break I've been waiting for! Things are gonna turn around now!
Gil - Sad Ah, the old sidewalk-stickeroo. Should've known. Third time this week!

Pt. 4

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Mr. Burns Guiding you up these ruthless rungs has really tuckered me out. I barely have the strength to tent my fingers!
Jay G Let's go chill at my crib. You can rebuild your energy by terrorizing my staff.
Mr. Burns - Diabolical That sounds delightful. I'm really more of a tormentor than a mentor anyway.
Task: "Make Burns Go to Jay G's Mansion". The job takes place at Jay G's Mansion and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Make Jay G Go to Jay G's Mansion". The job takes place at Jay G's Mansion and takes 3 hours.
Mr. Burns - Happy Congratulations, Jay! You've reached the top rung of the Ladder to Loot! You're like the son I never had -- and far better than the son I did have but never see.
Jay G And you're like the father I never muscled out of his own record label and then framed for bank robbery.
Mr. Burns - Diabolical And now we must destroy each other.
Jay G I wouldn't have it any other way.
