Dialogue[edit]

|
|
Kids, here are our oldest cider vats. These copper miracles were handmade by the Swartzwelder family over a hundred years ago.
|
|
Interesting fact! Back in 1932 these vats were used by mill workers as shelter when the nearby Army base accidentally bombed Springfield.
|
|
|
Trapped inside for hours, several workers became violently ill from the cider fumes.
|
|
I'm gonna be sick...
|
|
No! No! No! Not in the...
|
|
...vat. You had to use the vat.
|
|
Sorry, sir. I feel better, though.
|
|
That's wonderful.
|
|
|
Before we continue with the tour, are there any questions?
|
|
My hand has one!
|
|
|
What's your question, young man?
|
|
Why did I have a dream about a corncob bicycle?
|
|
|
*holding a scrub brush* ...so, for the last part of the tour today, you'll be getting some hands-on experience with how we clean the vats!
|
Task: "Make Randy Give Tours of the Mill". The job takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Youngsters Clean the Cider Vats" (x5). The jobs take place at Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill and take 4 hours.
|
|
|
Well, kids, thanks for visiting the mill. Please be sure to visit our gift shop on your way out for all your apple-themed needs! Come again!
|
|
Oh, we will.
|
|
|
Miss Hoover, it's wonderful to see youngsters taking an interest in our history.
|
|
|
Well, it's so violent. That's the sugar in any history lesson! Ha! I don't think I've seen them all so quiet and attentive.
|
|
Made me forget for a moment that I was a teacher. *sighs* One happy moment.
|
|
|
Well, how about I show them around the aging cellar next week?
|
|
Randy, you can tour their brains out.
|
|
|
Nothing I love better than instilling the love of apples in the minds of the young.
|
|
Nothing? Really?
|
|
|
I want to die doing it.
|
|
|
The apple mill tour?
|
|
The apple mill tour.

|
| After tapping on Randy's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Thank you all for coming! We look forward to your next visit!
|
|
Oh, thank you for the tour, mister. It was a delight.
|
|
|
Oh hello, little miss pot head. I didn't see you there.
|
|
The name's Connie Appleseed.
|
|
|
What a wonderful last name. So apple-y! Were you with the class that came through?
|
|
|
Not exactly. See I kind of snuck onto their bus instead of hitchhiking all the way out here.
|
|
Hitchhike?
|
|
|
Oh, yes. Once I learned that there was an authentic cider mill nearby, I just had to make sure I saw it!
|
|
|
Spoken like a true apple-head.
|
|
|
Truly, where some see an apple cider factory, I see a cathedral.
|
|
And where you see a cathedral, I see...an apple.
|
|
Okay, you win.
|
Task: "Make Randy Find a Kindred Spirit". The job takes place at Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill and takes 4 hours.
If Connie Appleseed is owned: Task: "Make Connie Appleseed Wonder if This Was a Good Idea". The job takes place at Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
So what apples are used for this cider?
|
|
|
Oh, just the boring old Granny Smiths.
|
|
|
Hey! How about we make our own from a variety? Invent our own recipe!
|
|
|
Oh should we? Please say "we should"!
|
|
|
*tossing apples* Here, catch! Start with Woodbine and Backwell Red...
|
|
|
Got 'em! Now toss me some Yarlington Mill, Foxwhelp, and Fair Maid of Devon for a bit of edgy apple tang.
|
|
|
You want edgy? I got edgy. Here's Zestar, Yates, and Ultra Gold!
|
|
|
You go, girl!
|
|
|
I'm apple to the core! I keep all doctors away. I'm more apple than grandma's pie!
|
|
|
Can you tone it down a bit? Seriously...
|
|
I get it.

|
|
| After tapping on Randy's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Randy, I'm so glad that I came here. You're the first person in Springfield who loves apples as much as I do.
|
|
|
I know. The last person I met who appreciated apples like I do was carted off to a hospital.
|
|
|
I think he killed a few dozen people.
|
|
|
Sounds like a Northern Crisp lover.
|
|
|
*laughs* How did you know?!
|
|
|
Connie, as a kin of the core, I just have to share my special reserve cider with you.
|
|
What an honor!
|
|
|
Oh, it is! I envy you.
|
Task: "Make Randy Fetch His Special Reserve Cider". The job takes place at Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill and takes 4 hours.
If Connie Appleseed is owned: Task: "Make Connie Appleseed Evaluate the Cider". The job takes place at Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Here you go. Give this a try.
|
|
|
*sniffs* Oh my. *sips* I'm tasting...altitude.
|
|
|
Altitude. Really?
|
|
|
With notes of mountain air.
|
|
|
Oh, get out of here.
|
|
|
My guess? Arlet.
|
|
|
You devil! How did you guess?
|
|
|
Simple deduction. Arlet is a Swiss grown variety. Alpine growing conditions. But what sealed the deal was the hint of cowbell.
|
|
|
*raises glass* A toast to apples!
|
|
Um...yeah. Could you just toast it yourself?
|
|
What's the deal?
|
|
|
Yeah, it's a little awkward but...I never consume apples or apple products.
|
|
|
Well, how do you like them apples?
|
|
|
Truth is...I don't.
|
|
|

|
|
| After tapping on Randy's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Randy, I'm totally confused. You seem to be the most apple-smitten man I've ever met, yet you don't like apples?
|
|
|
Oh no! I love everything about them. Their smell! Color! Shape! Even their sound!
|
|
|
Sound?
|
|
|
The sound of other people eating them. That's the key. Other people can eat them but I can't stand their flavor. It's a shame I will carry to my grave.
|
|
|
By the way, I'm going to be buried in an orchard.
|
|
|
So am I.
|
|
|
But one thing I can never bury is my shame. Here I am professing my apple love to others through my tours, my apple-centered music and my apple-themed mystery novels.
|
|
|
And all the while I harbor a deep dark secret. I just wish I could get myself to eat one apple.
|
|
|
*offers apple* You can! This is a Ralls Janet I've been saving. Until you eat it, I vow I will stop all my apple activities.
|
|
|
Connie Appleseed! The world needs your random planting!
|
|
|
Then do it. Not for me or yourself. Eat the apple for the sake of apples everywhere.
|
|
...
|
| Task: "Make Randy Attempt to Enjoy Apples". The job takes 4 hours.
|
|
There. Done. But thank you for forcing me to overcome my fear.
|
|
|
I knew you could do it.
|
|
|
I feel sick...with pride...and nausea.
|
|
|
Embrace that feeling! You earned it. Now, if there's nothing else I can do...
|
|
|
One thing.
|
|
|
Name it.
|
|
|
I'm gonna need your pan.
