Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark Jonathan, where are you? You promised to help me upgrade Octoparrot's habitat. He already has central air and a high-def TV! Yeah, but now he wants 4K! Well my work is at a very important stage right now! I've almost completed my Time Mobile — with the tinkering and the fixing and the closing-the-door-on-my-fingies! Is this all because Homer Simpson said your Time-Traveling Panini Press idea was stupid? He thought it should be a potato masher. I mean, that's just preposterous. If Mrs. Frink is owned: Task: "Make Mrs. Frink Suggest Latest Project is a Little Derivative". The job takes place at Frink's House or Frink's Lab and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Time Traveler Frink Defend His Totally Original Time Mobile". The job takes place at Frink's House or Frink's Lab and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark I did it! I reached the future in my time mobile gadget a-TRON! Another time traveler!? Aww, I wanted an alien this time. It took me ages to successfully invent time travel. You could be a LITTLE impressed. Forgive my rotund and surprisingly long-lived friend, Professor Frink. He's just a little underwhelmed since I got here first. That, and the cyber-clams I had for lunch aren't sitting quite right. If Advisor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Advisor Frink Mock the "More Primitive" Scientist". The job takes place at Future Simpson's House, Future-Proofed Home, Future Monument, Holo-Theater, Rotating Religious Holo-Statue, Holo-Lamp Post, Holo-Bench, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Time Traveler Frink Stammer at Being Mocked". The job takes place at Future Simpson's House, Future-Proofed Home, Future Monument, Holo-Theater, Rotating Religious Holo-Statue, Holo-Lamp Post, Holo-Bench, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Advisor Frink, my ancestor from the ancient past! How did you get here? A Frink never reveals his secrets. I'm a Frink! And I'm always revealing my secrets! Huh. I guess my kids did a bad job at passing that mantra down. Anyway, I may be ancient, but at least I'm not a dork! I'm not a dork! With the glasses, and the lab coat, and the okay-maybe-I'm-a-dork. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark Forget that prehistoric "professor". Now that I'm back in Ancient Egypt I can finally see who really built the pyramids. Just average Egyptians. It was a lot easier to get stuff done before cell phones. Great glayvin! You're already here too?! Yes, and we're so glad he is! There's no way we could have done it without the help of this genius from the future. He's not from the future, I'M from the future! Have you forgotten that time is relative, my young friend? That's the only kind of relative I like. Also, it appears that your time vehicle has completely overheated. There aren't enough hieroglyphs in the world for all the curses I want to say right now. If Pharaoh Skinner is owned: Task: "Make Pharaoh Skinner Praise Advisor Frink". The job takes place at the Grand Pyramid, Egyptian Pyramid, Elephant Pyramid, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Time Traveler Frink Repair the Time Mobile". The job takes place at the Time Mobile and takes 4 hours. If Advisor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Advisor Frink Unhelpfully Help Frink". The job takes place at the Grand Pyramid, Egyptian Pyramid, Elephant Pyramid, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Thanks for the help — if you can call it that. Where — or should I say "when" — will you go now? I'm going to check out Pirate Times next! Do you even know when that was? Nah. I'll just run it in low until I start seeing eye patches. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark Ah, it's the time traveling pirate's life for me! With the sea and the salt and the sand and the scurvy. Arr! I'll be killin ya before the scurvy does! Uh, you wouldn't hurt a fellow parrot owner, would you? Ye have a parrot? I do! He has eight tentacle legs, which is admittedly a little weird, but he does love crackers. I would've been okay with six tentacle legs, but eight is too weird for me. Prepare to walk the plank! *gulp* Haha! Relax, Professor Frink. My good friend, Blackbeard, was just having some fun with you. Advisor Frink?! You beat me to Pirate Times, too? Aye! And he taught us about citrus fruits! Not having all our teeth fall out has been a big game-changer for us. I'm the worst mad professor-slash-scientist-slash-inventor-slash-fanfic author ever! Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. I thought your cyber-punk "Winnie the Pooh" story was perfectly adequate, if a little predictable...and unnecessarily graphic. There's nothing left for me in this cruel world. Goodbye, sweet science! And flights of rockets sing thee to thy rest. Task: "Make Time Traveler Frink Give Up on Science". The job takes place at the Pirate Ship, Bridge Arch Animatronic, Ghost Pirate Airship, Pirate Cannon, Siren Masthead, Pirate Treasure, Mermaid Petting Zoo, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Advisor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Advisor Frink Talk Frink Up". The job takes place at the Pirate Ship, Bridge Arch Animatronic, Ghost Pirate Airship, Pirate Cannon, Siren Masthead, Pirate Treasure, Mermaid Petting Zoo, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Blackbeard is owned: Task: "Make Blackbeard Enjoy a Tasty Toasted Italian Sandwich". The job takes place at the Pirate Ship, Bridge Arch Animatronic, Ghost Pirate Airship, Pirate Cannon, Siren Masthead, Pirate Treasure, Mermaid Petting Zoo, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Hold on a picosecond! Are all these pirates eating paninis? Indeed they are! I don't understand...how could they have that technology? Unless...it can't be! How do you think I've been getting around? My goal for some time has been to glimpse the wonders my descendants might invent in the future, and none was greater than you and your time-traveling panini press idea. So I built it and used it to follow you around time to learn from the greatest of my distant progeny — YOU! Wow! So if you think about it, all of your accomplishments are really MY accomplishments. Well, I wouldn't go quite that far... I am a great mad professor-slash-scientist-slash-inventor-slash-fanfic author! Again, only adequate on the fanfic front. I just didn't believe the Winnie/Piglet romance. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark Honey, I'm back — from the past, and the future, and Pirate Times! When were those, exactly? Uhh...before air fryers but after the French Revolution? The important thing is that it turns out our understanding of history is completely wrong! The story of history is really the story of one name: FRINK! Every important or cool thing that happened was thanks to me! And the most impressive scientific wonder of all: the toasted Italian sandwich. Uh-huh. Well, that's terrific, but what about the octoparrot habitat? Not now, Sweetie! I have to get down to the Springfield History Museum and teach those nerds a lesson! Metaphorically AND literally. Task: "Make Time Traveler Frink Rant About How History is Wrong". The job takes 4 hours. If Mrs. Frink is owned: Task: "Make Mrs. Frink Get Help for Her Husband". The job takes place at Frink's House or Frink's Lab and takes 4 hours. ...and that's how I discovered that all of human history is based on my work! Me too! Um, okay, we're making some progress here...sort of. Group therapy can be a real challenge. Dr. Hot Dog, every week we talk about time travel! I haven't made any progress on my relationship with my father. Quest reward: 200 and 20
