Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark Ah, my favorite time of the month: Calendar Flipping Day. This calendar next to it to lets me know when to flip the page. Wow, the whole month of November, and not one social event written down. Not even Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah, I keep my life extra lonely to, uh, save on ink... Yeah, sure. I'm living the American Dream. I think I understand what you're hinting at, Moe. You do? Sure! You're more than welcome to use my pen in case someone invites you over! Task: "Make Homer Ignore Moe's Cry for Help". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Prep Meals" (x50). Least I can use the pen to sign the foreclosure papers on my house. Aw nuts, it doesn't work. Speaking of not working, retired life is treating me great! How'd you get in here?! Also speaking of not working, your lock is broken. Dad already used that set-up, dummy! Now my whole family's here?! And they're doing shtick?! This is worse than spending every waking moment of my existence alone. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag

Pt. 2

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark And here I thought making this bar look family-friendly would've scared you rodents off. Why would you start a "family business" without involving your family? 'Cause none of your business! But I know all the ins and outs: stab your enemy and move the knife in and out. I don't got time to talk to youse. I gotta do something much less off-putting: clean the terlets. Task: "Make Moe Avoid His Family". The job takes place at Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag and takes 4 hours. Task: "Prep Meals" (x100). I thought bringing back Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag would bring families to me on the holidays. Instead all I get are these childless millennials that only order avocado toast. Eh, at least I can pass off these spoiled potatoes as avocados. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Grill Patio

Pt. 3

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark Homer, what I'm about to say isn't easy for me... You're leaving me?! Please, baby, I can change! Oh, who am I kidding, I can't change. You're better off without me-- I'm not leaving! I was going to say you should invite Moe to Thanksgiving! Oh. Glad to know you'd give up on our marriage so fast... Baby, I can change! Actually, maybe you're better off-- Just ask Moe to dinner! Task: "Make Moe Spend Thanksgiving at the Simpsons". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Prep Meals" (x250). Quest reward: 100 and 10 Mattress King Dinner Table w/ Minnie

Pt. 4

After tapping on Minnie's exclamation mark This is quite a lovely event you've planned, Marge. Where'd you hire these tiny butlers? They're my children. You think I could book 'em for my Uncensored Russian Dash Cam Car Accident movie night? I start at fifty dollars a day, plus expenses. No! Minnie, why don't you help me in the kitchen? I don't cook -- I usually drink my dinner -- but I suppose I could learn to do both. Task: "Make Minnie Drink and Help Marge in the Kitchen". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Prep Meals" (x200). I gotta tell ya, I'm pretty useless in the kitchen. You must have some skills. Have you ever peeled a carrot or diced an onion? I've peeled out in a car after cheating at dice against a guy named Onion... Kinda convenient the guy's name was Onion... Let's just start with some stirring. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Fight Szyslak Style animated job

Pt. 5

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark Everything is delicious, Midge! What's your secret? Ask your sister. She was quite the helper! Wow, Minnie, I'm impressed. I woulda thought you'd be in there cookin' up drugs or something! I was! Whaaaaa? When Marge turned her back, I stirred some pot in the pot. That, and only that, explains why I've already eaten four helpings! Minnie, you ruined dinner! That's it, put your loafers up! Task: "Make Minnie and Moe Have a Shoe Fight". The job takes place at the Mattress King Dinner Table and takes 8 hours. Task: "Prep Meals" (x300). Stop! You're getting shoe polish on my good napkins! Sorry about that, Midge. We Szyslaks have our own code of justice. Does it always involve shoe-slapping?! Yes. Quest reward: 100and 10 Taste of Springfield Festival

Pt. 6

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark This is terrible! All the Thanksgiving food has been spiked. Plus Minnie put drugs in the dinner before the shoe-fight. Oh no, the kids! Relax, I didn't put any pot in the kid's food. Phew... I put ADD meds in theirs. I just wrote essays about the first through tenth Thanksgivings! Who cares about the boy's education -- where are we going to get food?! Well, we could go to the saddest place in town... The homeless food pantry? Sadder. The Taste of Springfield Festival on Thanksgiving day. Task: "Make Simpsons Visit Taste of Springfield" (x3). The jobs take place at Taste of Springfield Festival and take 8 hours. Task: "Make Szyslaks Visit Taste of Springfield" (x3). The jobs take place at Taste of Springfield Festival and take 8 hours. After starting the jobs This is awful. Our Thanksgiving tradition is ruined! Look, they do wine tasting. Ooh, maybe I can become one of those acceptable alcoholic moms! Hooray for new Thanksgiving traditions! After finishing the tasks Well, Minnie, you found a way to put your own twist on Thanksgiving. It was violent, rage-filled, and borderline illegal, but ain't that what this holiday is really about? And you brought our family closer together... We're taking turns holding Mom's hair back while she barfs up all that wine! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Behind the Laughter

The following dialogue was cut from Pt. 3, intended to play after the job had been started:

I gotta tell ya, Midge, your cooking smells even better in here than from the bushes outside and through a ski mask. Uh, thanks... I wish you'd told me your sister was coming, I would've cooked more food... ...and hid the good china. Oh, don't worry, I don't eat much. Gotta stay thin in case I need to shimmy out of a prison cell.
