Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Those monster actors are real jerks. Just because they're better actors than me doesn't make them better actors than me. Some stars get by without being good actors. Like the way Meryl Streep sang in "Mamma Mia". Great idea! No one is better at being the center of unwanted attention than me. The only acting teacher I need is getting drunk to the point of foolish decisions! Task: "Make Homer Defeat a Giant Monster". The job takes place at a Giant Monster and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark Now that I'm a filmmaker, who should I style myself after? Kurosawa? Fellini? The not-crappy Spielberg films? Hey Lisa, did you film me when I used socks as oven mitts to put a can of gravy in the microwave and it exploded? Then I used the socks as napkins and bandages. I guess I'll be whoever directed the "Jackass" films. I love those! One guy snorted wasabi! Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Experiment with Film Styles". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark Dad! You keep walking into my shot! Do I? Or is the camera drawn to me like a magnet to... uh whatever magnets are drawn to? Is it cardboard? It's metal. And it's you walking into my shot. I'm pretty sure both of those are wrong. Now, film me as I fight this pile of scales! You know I've broken every scale I've ever met. Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Set Up a Complicated Shot". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark You people are supposed to be believably fighting these monsters but your acting is horrible. You know what I'm seeing die? Art. Who cares? I don't do art. I do comedy – it's way easier and pays better. I've seen your show. There's not a lot of comedy. Even the canned laughter sounds unsure what it's playing for. How about trying to learn some stunt acting? Do it and I'll keep all your houseplants alive a week longer than planned. Task: "Make Krusty Take a Stunt Acting Class". The job takes place at the MAG Office and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I've been fighting all day and I'm still not a world famous superstar! I don't endorse a Japanese cologne or anything. Maybe that's because you're chasing the camera instead of fighting? How about joining us and helping the Hollywood monsters fight? Any religious person knows that supporting Hollywood is always the right choice! Forget that. I just need better representation. My agent is Jewish, but he's not Jewish enough. Task: "Make Homer Get Some New Headshots". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 6

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark I'm halfway through editing this and it's a disaster. Not even a monsters attacking people disaster, which I want, but a bland mush with no emotional core. I'm not giving up. With new footage it'll come together, or fall apart to the point I can tell people it's an art film and that they "just don't get it". Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Shoot Some Pick-ups". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Message The story will continue in Act 2. Keep fighting monsters and trick-or-treating to get more prizes and level up your MAG membership! Quest reward: 40/40/40 and 10

Pt. 7

After starting Act 2 and tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark This film isn't working and I'm running out of money. Why didn't I take the easy route and make a film based on a comic book? There are, ah, government grants for art projects like yours, you know. I know because I'm in government. Really? What do I need to qualify? Let me take care of that. No one knows how to take government money better than me. Repeat that and I'll have you arrested. With a budget, I can save my movie with special effects. Or at least make a trailer that draws in and then disappoints audiences. Just like M. Night Shyamalan! Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Invest in New Technology". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 8

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Hey! Who got water all over my bar stool? It's not water. It's amphibian ooze. I have a medical problem, okay? Hey, we all do. Every time I go through a subway turnstile, I get stuck and the fire department has to come cut me out. Let me get you a towel. I'd use Moe's bar rag if it wasn't for all the hepatitis. See? Even it has a medical problem. Task: "Make Homer Get Lenny a Towel". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 9

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark Even though our town is being ravaged by monsters, I am the only Mayor that is fit to see us through it. Just like I saw us through my ballot box-stuffing scandal, my bribery scandal, and another of my scandals you'll hear about next week. I'm getting kind of sick of all those monsters. That fish guy made a huge mess at Moe's this afternoon. That's Barney's thing. Another Springfield job taken by these monsters. I say we throw them all out! Zero amnesty! Make Springfield great again! Task: "Make Springfielders Consider Their Options" (x4). The jobs take place at a Brown House and take 4 hours. Task: "Battle 3 Giant Monsters". Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 10

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark Man, what a day. I got scratches on my scalp and teeth marks on my tuchus and it wasn't even Mr. Teeny's bath time. I'm injured and all people care about are those Hollywood monsters. I know that's redundant, but still, fun to say. Somebody ought to kick them fellers right outta town. ... I didn't say me. I said "somebody". Task: "Make Cletus Get Real Quiet". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 11

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark You know, I'm a pretty positive guy, but this training sucks! Between running lines and weapons training, I ain't got time for my hobby: angry stewing. Well, without it, the monsters would overrun the town and kill all of you. So we're trapped? Next break we get, I'm gonna stew about that. Stew about it good. Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Catch Conflicts on Camera". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 12

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark Mayor Quimby! We've done something terrible! I wish you were the first person to say that to me today. Could you be, ah, more specific? My film and your anti-monster campaign have started racial tensions in the town! Instead of racial tensions, I'd call it rejuvenating Springfield pride. Making bad things sound positive is a Mayor's job. Like how we called last year's hurricane "city-wide street sweeping". Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Reconsider Her Film Plans". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Message The story will conclude in Act 3. Fight monsters and trick-or-treat to win more prizes and show these savages who's boss! Quest reward: 40/40 and 10

Pt. 13

After starting Act 3 and tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark With all this tension between cast members, I'm suspending filming indefinitely. Art is supposed to bring people together, except for the art that tears people apart. Like the drawings of religious figures or any "Marmaduke" cartoon. Hollywood monster or human, we all need to join together and save this town. Since this is a, ah, publicly funded project, production rights now revert to the government. And we will continue to film. Lisa will be replaced by our own Chief Wiggum. I chose him because he has the same silhouette as Hitchcock. Cool! Can I use one of those bullhorn thingies? Task: "Reach Level 17 and Place the Police Station". Task: "Make Wiggum Figure Out How to Use a Bullhorn Thingy". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 14

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark I'm envisioning a lone hero, human, early thirties, facing an angry monster horde. His guns shoot stars and stripes of red, white, and blue and the monsters run away like the spineless cowards they are. We're only using the monsters that don't have spines. At the end, we have an art card reading "Quimby for Re-Election!" We even paid extra to make sure it's all spelled correctly. This is terrible! You're just using hollow patriotism and fear of people who are different to manipulate voters into supporting a political campaign! That's exactly what we're doing. The movie is called "Hollow Patriotic Manipulation" for a reason! Task: "Make Wiggum Draw Storyboards in Crayon". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 15

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark Quimby's got a point about all these monsters in town. They don't gamble, they don't drink – what kind of freaks are they? Yeah, we should build a wall to keep them out. Plus think of the jobs it would create for the local wall builders' union. Oh, come on, guys. They aren't so bad. The giant lizard guy helped Bart get his kite out of a tree. And his fire breath cooked me a steak just the way I like it – burnt and smelling like lizard. Task: "Make Homer Argue Pro-Monster Views". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 16

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark People of Springfield! Our movie "An American America for Non-Monster Americans" is done and will be shown tonight at town hall. Yeah! I'll be there and in a very impressionable mood. Me too. Bring on the popcorn and the one-sidedness! Join us after the film for an angry riot, sponsored by Buzz Cola! Task: "Make Angry Springfielders Get Ready to Rally" (x4). The jobs take place at the Town Hall and take 4 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 17

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I've had it with these bigots! We offer to help them fight and they turn against us. Let's kill everyone! I know it's early for them to die, but I can fix the paperwork afterwards. Wait a minute, guys. For once, killing isn't the answer! Most of us are just regular people who love beer, TV, and beer commercials on TV. What we really need is your help. I guess you're right, Homer. Besides, if I kill everyone now, there goes my job security. And I need this -- I'm still paying off my student loans. Task: "Make Homer Get the Monsters to Be Happy Drunk". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 18

After tapping on Filmmaker Lisa's exclamation mark I can't let Mayor Quimby get away with this. He's poisoning the town with paranoia! His movie is making things so much worse. Not to mention the obscene number of producers in the credits. If there's anything I've learned from my foray into the world of independent film, it's this: There's nothing you can't fix in editing. Aside from the remake of "Ben-Hur". But still, editing! Task: "Make Filmmaker Lisa Recut Quimby's Movie". The job takes place at the Town Hall and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 40 and 10

Pt. 19

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark Witness a tale of, ah, American heroism and monster terror! Enough talking! I want to be made angry already! Of course. Settle into your seats so you can be shocked right out of them. Roll the film, or press "play" on the DVD machine. Whatever they do nowadays. Task: "Make Wiggum Play Lisa's Pro-Monster Documentary". The job takes place at the Town Hall and takes 8 hours. Now that I've seen Hollywood monsters as people, it's kinda hard to still be mad. I know. I looked down at my fist and it was unballed! Un-balled! I guess we owe you monsters an apology. Especially about that wall stuff, which kind of sounded far-fetched to begin with. I mean, wasn't Mexico supposed to pay for it? Forget about it. It was this afternoon. It was a different time. At least we can all agree those feral monsters need to be exterminated. Like I always said. We're stronger together. Now that we're okay with you guys, I hope I can count on your vote. Or multiple votes. Message Lisa's Trick-or-Treat Job Unlocked! Message Homer is now permanently available to fight giant monsters! Quest reward: 40 and 10
