Dialogue[edit]
| After tapping on Kirk's exclamation mark
|
|
Hey Luann! All my years of hard work finally paid off, by not paying off at all. I'm getting free checks from the government!
|
|
|
I'm even thinking about buying back my molars from that pawnshop. Do YOU get paid to do nothing?
|
|
Basically, yes. Running a cracker factory is like being on unemployment, only with more money and fewer forms.
|
|
Oh man, I've got to fill out one form every two weeks. Why can't I win?
|
|
|
Because you're a loser. You're the only man I know with a World's Second Best Dad mug.
|
|
|
Please give me back my job at the Cracker Factory. I'm not above begging. In fact, I'm well below it.
|
|
|
So you want to come crawling back to crackers?
|
|
|
Fine, I'll hire you Kirk. But you'll have to start at the beginning – as a cracker intern.
|
Task: "Make Luann Run the Cracker Factory". The job takes place at the Cracker Factory and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Kirk Work at the Cracker Factory". The job takes place at the Cracker Factory and takes 8 hours.
|
|
|
Long day at the factory. Turns out I only get two 15-minute breaks and both I'm required to spend working.
|
|
|
And I'm pretty sure half of the employees are pairs of children wearing giant trench coats.
|
|
|
You better not report those kids – I mean stacked adults – to the government or else I'll have you fired.
|
|
I didn't think it was possible, but you've ruined the magic of crackers. You don't have to fire me -- I quit.

|
| After tapping on Luann's exclamation mark
|
|
Kirk, if you want to stay a part of this family, you are going to have to get a real job.
|
|
|
And I know what you're thinking, and that doesn't include organ donor.
|
|
|
I've been dedicating my time to the most important job there is – being a father.
|
|
|
Where's Milhouse right now?
|
|
|
Trick question! That's not our son's name. Oh wait, it is. Fine, I'll get a job. Do you mind taking a look at my resume?
|
|
|
Hmm...cleaning vomit, scaring away birds, groveling... actually I might have the perfect job for you.
|
|
You can manage one of my Fleet-A-Pitas! Well, assistant manage. Actually just work there.
|
|
|
I'm in management!
|
| Task: "Make Kirk Clean Up Fleet-A-Pitas". The job takes place at a Fleet-A-Pita and takes 16 hours.
|
|
|
I can't do this anymore. I can't pedal pita when in my heart I know it's just a soft, salt-less, un-American substitute cracker.
|
|
|
But how can I tell Luann that I want to quit?
|
|
|
Maybe I can fake my own death, convince Luann I'm a ghost and live in the crawl space.
|
|
|
Nah, she wouldn't fall for that a second time.

|
| After tapping on Kirk's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Hey Homer, you seem to have it all together. Can I ask you for some advice?
|
|
Never train a monkey to do your job for you because then you'll get a monkey boss. There you go! The first one's free.
|
|
|
Thanks Homer. But I was looking for some advice about my marriage.
|
|
|
Never bring the monkey home. You're welcome!
|
|
|
Luann doesn't want me or need me.
|
|
|
She's better at everything than I am – running the factory, raising our son, even peeing standing up.
|
|
|
Don't forget running the Cracker Factory.
|
|
|
I already said that one.
|
|
|
She's just really good at it. Like so much better than you.
|
|
|
What am I going to do, Homer?
|
|
|
Don't ask me. Marge handles all the relationship problems herself.
|
|
|
Why don't you try a book? I've heard good things about them from Lisa.
|
| Task: "Make Kirk Borrow a Self Help Book". The job takes place at the Springfield Library and takes 60 minutes.
|
|
|
Those self-help books really showed me the error of my ways.
|
|
|
It turns out the secret to a healthy relationship is appreciating your partner and buying more self-help books.
|
|
|
Oh yeah, showing appreciation is important.
|
|
|
For instance, Marge fixes me breakfast every morning. And I... uh... drink beer.
|
|
|
I should do something special for Luann! Are coupons for free hugs still a thing?
|
|
|
This isn't your anniversary, Kirk. This calls for some serious romancing.
|
|
|
You should take her out to dinner... and don't order anything that requires a bib.
|
|
|
That sounds expensive. How's an unemployed loser like me going to afford that?
|
|
|
Think of it as an investment. Invest money in Luann now, and once she lets you back in the house--
|
|
|
I can steal money from her purse!

|
|
| After tapping on Kirk's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Luann, we have to talk.
|
|
|
What is it this time?
|
|
|
I know I've been a huge disappointment to you and that I don't deserve another chance but if you let me, I'd like to make it up to you.
|
|
|
Let me take you to the most expensive dinner in town.
|
|
|
It's where they make normal food look weird and taste almost exactly the same. El Chemistri!
|
|
|
Is there a catch? How can you afford this?
|
|
|
The owner of the restaurant owes me a favor. I let him hit me with his car for fun.
|
Task: "Make Luann Dine at El Chemistri". The job takes place at El Chemistri and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Kirk Dine at El Chemistri". The job takes place at El Chemistri and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Kirk, I-I am speechless, I really didn't expect something this thoughtful from you.
|
|
|
I actually don't expect anything at all from you. Seriously ever.
|
|
|
I'm always here to support you in this marriage, Luann.
|
|
|
Emotionally, not financially. Just want to make that crystal clear.
|
|
|
Oh, Kirk. I guess you'll do.
|
|
|
You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Luann's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I've thought it over and I think I haven't been fair to you.
|
|
|
As long as you're willing to do absolutely everything I say without question, then I'm willing to offer you your old management job back at the Cracker Factory.
|
|
|
The job I was born for! Being an empty suit!
|
|
|
How about we carpool in the MegaGlobe today sweetheart? At least until I head to executive parking.
|
Task: "Make Luann Run the Cracker Factory". The job takes place at the Cracker Factory and takes 8 hours.

I'm so glad my parents are no longer fighting!

|
At least for this week...
