Dialogue

Pt. 1

Between January 2, 2024 and January 10, 2024 Come on, come on! Pick up! RING! RING! Hello? What did you do? Narrow it down. I've lived a long time. And who is this?! Give me the phone, Homer. Hello, Abe? This is Marge, how are you doing? Well, my knee's been acting up and my son stuck me in a home and never calls. Also the corned beef here is mostly corn... Okay, well now that Homer has calmed down, I'm going to give the phone back to him. He has some questions for you. Task: "Collect Toxic Samples" (x115). Task: "Make Marge Give the Phone to Homer". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Hold Up Prompt Cards". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Dad, did you receive any gifts in the past year or so? Perhaps of the real estate variety? Oh, yes! There was a big to-do on Arbor Day when this fancy lawyer came by and gave presents to all the residents at the home. Which you'd have known about if you'd come to celebrate like a good son! No one celebrates Arbor Day! Even trees think it's dumb! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Retirement Castle Excursion Shuttle

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Dad! Just listen. Who gave you the land with the cabin? I don't know. The fancy lawyer told us about it. He also did all my estate planning. The lawyer who did your estate plan was the same guy who gave you the land? Yeah! He was the same one who came by to do my estate planning, too. Very nice man. Useful! Yup I remember now. He said he was giving us parcels of land and putting it right in our wills. Now that I hear myself say that it sounds a bit hinky. Lisa? Yes? Can your good brain help my bad brain understand this? Task: "Collect Toxic Samples" (x150). Task: "Make Lisa Figure It All Out". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Wait for an Explanation". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. It looks like Mr. Burns gifted the land to the retirees and then paid for estate plans to be drawn up so the inheritors would be stuck cleaning up his dump sites. Did you hear that? No, but I understood it even less! You let Mr. Burns give you a toxic waste dump and now it's our problem! Not so fast! There's one catch. A catch? Oh, goody goody! What is it? The lawyer fella said that land ain't legally ours until we set foot on it. ... So as long as you aren't stupid enough to go up there and hoof around, we're totally fine. ... You still there? Sorry! Bad phone line! We're in Tahiti! *hangs up* Quest reward: 100 and 10 Retirement Castle Orderly

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 Man, as far as vacations go, I think this officially qualifies as our worst one ever. And as usual it ends with a trip to Dr. Hibbert's to get rabies shots for you. How would I know that dead racoon I was poking with a stick wasn't dead? That stick was a rusty nail. So better throw in a tetanus shot too. Lisa, any ideas about how we get out of this predicament? *stomach groan* Homer, try to find us a diner or somewhere we can stop and get some food. That might help. Predicaments make me hungry. *stomach groan* *covering ears* ... Homer, find us a diner so we can eat. Lisa can't think on your empty stomach. Task: "Collect Toxic Samples" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Pull Into a Diner". The job takes place at Cora's Diner, Truck Stop Diner, Overpass Diner, Skip's Diner, Nighthawk Diner, or an Eatery and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Marge Worry About Her Family". The job takes place at Cora's Diner, Truck Stop Diner, Overpass Diner, Skip's Diner, Nighthawk Diner, or an Eatery and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Try to Think of a Solution". The job takes place at Cora's Diner, Truck Stop Diner, Overpass Diner, Skip's Diner, Nighthawk Diner, or an Eatery and takes 4 hours. Dad, I...I don't know how to get us out of this situation. I'm not a real estate attorney. I've always suspected that. Hey! How about we stop by a law school and you pick up a degree? We are not stopping. We need to get Bart to Dr. Hibbert's as soon as possible. Yeah, you don't like me now...just think of me with rabies. Quest reward: 100 and 10 1

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Yeah, my father got tricked just like yours. I didn't realize what happened until I was already standing on the property! See Marge? Doctor Hibbert made the same mistake as me and he's a doctor! This proves I could have been a doctor. Okay, Dr. Homer. But don't worry! I discovered something a bit unusual with the dump site and called a friend to come help out. Task: "Collect Toxic Samples" (x115). Task: "Make the Simpsons Wait for Hibbert's Friend" (x4). The jobs take place at the Simpson House and take 4 hours. Good to see you again, Julius. Walther, I'd like to introduce you to... Lisa Simpson! Wir treffen uns wieder! *whispering loudly* Is this guy an outer-space alien? No, Dad, that was German. Walther, it's good to see you again, too. Dr. Hibbert thinks you might be able to help us with our problem. At your service! *whispering loudly* Was that German, too? *offers Homer a lollipop* Here, Homer, suck on a lollipop while we discuss this. *suck suck* *suck suck* *makes a 'that's my thing' gesture* Quest reward: 100 and 10 Crowd of Cranky Elderly

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Yes, I see...that is quite a problem! But how may I help? Well, I took some samples of the soil near the toxic site. I was hoping your scientists could analyze them. My scientists would love to do precisely that! Uh, Dr. Hibbert? How is all this nerd crap going to help us ditch our crappy property? *chuckles* Well, if my hunch is right, you might be able to find an interested party willing to buy your land and take this cleanup off your hands. Woohoo! Task: "Collect Toxic Samples" (x185). If Walther Hotenhoffer is owned: Task: "Make Walther Hotenhoffer Contact His Science Team". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Start a Victory Dance". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Worry How This Is Going to Go Wrong". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Yes, yes, those are very interesting results indeed... Thank you, and thank all the scientists who participated in the analysis. Goodbye. *hangs up* Mr. Simpson, I have excellent news! Tell your father I am willing to purchase the land and assume all responsibility for cleanup efforts. We accept! I haven't given you a price yet. I'll let it go at any price and that is my final offer. We'll need your father's approval, of course. For this, I'll drive you there myself to finalize everything! Dad, do you maybe want to think about this for a moment? You're right. There is something I should consider here. That's it! My shirtless victory dance! Everybody stand back. *dancing with shirt off* ...! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Springfield Medical Center
