Dialogue[edit]
| After starting the update
|
|
As you can see here, Mr. Burns, your power plant is in the red.
|
|
Cancel Disney+! I don't know why I ever subscribed — my only streaming device is a ticker tape machine.
|
|
The image resolution is decidedly meh, and every time I watch a movie I'm crushed beneath a mountain of paper!
|
|
|
We agree that cancelling Disney+ is a prudent way to save eight dollars per month, but the plant will still be many, many millions of dollars in the red.
|
|
|
We can pay our other bills with BiteCoin.
|
|
I didn't know you dabbled in cryptocurrency, sir.
|
|
|
In what now? I mean: set the hounds on the bill collectors.
|
|
|
Ah, I see. BITE Coin. I'm sure they'd be able to evade them quite easily.
|
|
Are you saying they have some sort of dodge-coin? Perhaps if we used some kind of tether...
|
|
|
Maybe we should look at some other strategies for improving worker productivity, sir.
|
|
You're right! The greedy workers are the problem.
|
|
|
Let's move the plant somewhere where we'll be given a free hand by a corrupt government and a gullible population manipulated by appeals to prejudice.
|
|
|
We already did that, sir. That's why we moved here from North Korea.
|
|
|
When you're treating your workers even worse than the commies, you know you've done your part!
|
|
|
Since we've maxed-out oppression, maybe we could try to toggle a few other levers, sir. Such as worker satisfaction and motivation.
|
|
Ew, gross. You said toggle.
|
|
|
If we want to compete for today's values-driven workforce...
|
|
|
Smithers, learn to read the room, will you? Now, quickly, to the basement! I've got just the thing to solve our financial problems.
|
Task: "Make Burns Head to the Basement". The job takes place at the Cooling Towers, Control Building, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.
If Smithers is owned: Task: "Make Smithers Learn to Read the Room". The job takes place at the Cooling Towers, Control Building, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.
|
|
The Alternate Universe Computer? But sir, it hasn't been tested!
|
|
|
We're going back to the golden days, before things had to be tested.
|
|
|
What decade should we pick? I suppose you'd opt for the Gay Nineties!
|
|
|
It just meant "lively" or "high-spirited" then, sir.
|
|
|
I knew that. I didn't know you knew.
|
|
We might as well go straight to the Great Depression of the 1930s, when people were at their most desperate for work.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
