Dialogue

Pt. 1

After completing The Clam Before the... Other Clams "We, the jury, find the defendant, Snake Jailbird, not guilty of all charges and award wrongful imprisonment damages in an amount of no less than $300,000." Crime DOES pay! Next case on the docket is: "Horatio McCallister vs. The City of Springfield". Blue-Haired Lawyer, representing the city of Springfield. Horatio McCallister, appearing pro se. Which is latin for "I have no lawyer, arrr!" Ok, let's start with your opening statement. Aye. But first, I'd like to propose a motion granting me the right to present my statement in the form of a sea shanty. I object, on the grounds that sea shanties are very catchy and may unduly influence the judge and jury. I'd like to hear the Captain's shanty. *hits gavel* Motion granted. OHHHHH QUIMBY, YE ROGUISH MUTINEER / WHAT'S WITH YOUR NEW BOARDWALK AND PIER? / YOU SPENT OUR TAXES AND HARD-EARNED DOUGH / NOW MY HOUSEBOAT'S STUCK WITH NO PLACE TO GO *takes big breath, then continues* THIS BOARDWALK BARNACLE BLOCKS MY PORT OF CALL / SO HORATIO'S GOT NOTHING LEFT TO HAUL / NO SPICES, SILKS, AND FISH TO TRADE / YET CORRUPT QUIMBY'S GETTING PAID "Corrupt?" That's slander! OH, I'D SET SAIL ON THE SEA / WHERE MY HEART AND SPIRIT'S TRUE AND FREE / I'D CROSS THE HORIZON AND DRINK SOME RUM / BUT MY SHIP'S MAROONED 'CAUSE QUIMBY IS DUMB! How much more of this, your honor? Two more stanzas. I'll allow it. HE THINKS HE'S SMART, THINKS HE'S SLY / BUT I'M HERE TO TELL SPRINGFIELD THAT THAT'S A LIE / HE'S GOT A SCHEME, TO BLOCK THE PORT / THAT'S WHY I TOOK HIM STRAIGHT TO COURT OH, I'D SET SAIL ON THE SEA / WHERE MY HEART AND SPIRIT'S TRUE AND FREE / I'D CROSS THE HORIZON AND DRINK SOME RUM / BUT MY SHIP'S MAROONED 'CAUSE QUIMBY IS DUMB! Good rhyming, Captain McCallister. Arrr, much obliged. Task: "Collect Slarg Fish" (x95). Task: "Make the Sea Captain Be Outraged". The job takes place at the Court House, Town Hall, Police Station, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Judge Snyder is owned: Task: "Make Judge Snyder Call for Witnesses". The job takes place at the Court House, Town Hall, Police Station, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If the Blue-Haired Lawyer is owned: Task: "Make the Blue-Haired Lawyer Calculate His Fee". The job takes place at the Court House, Town Hall, Police Station, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Let me see if I understand this correctly. Mayor Quimby made an offer for the Barnacle Bay Marina, which was accepted by the city of Barnacle Bay. And the materials for this marina, which have already begun arriving in our city, have been placed in an area previously used as a mooring spot for the plaintiff, Sea Captain. You got all that from his little sea shanty? Arr, it was in the subtext. Your honor, this case should be dismissed. Horatio McCallister hasn't paid his "dock tax" in years and his boat isn't even moored in a residential zone. Fine, fine. But answer me this: the offer that Mayor Quimby made for the Barnacle Bay Marina. Where did those funds come from? I fail to see how that question pertains to this lawsuit, Your Honor. Humor me, counsel. Er-uh, the money came from city funds that were earmarked for... uh, Urban Development? Yeah — you're clearly making that up on the spot... *bangs gavel* I'm siding in favor of the plaintiff due to Mayor Quimby once again wasting city funds on something our city doesn't need. Also, he sang a delightful and catchy sea shanty. Yarr a true gentleman, yarr honor. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Boardwalk Carousel

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Did you hear about the latest Quimby scandal? Wasting precious city funds on that eyesore of a boardwalk? He's turning Springfield into a mecca for beach bums and vagrants! And for what? A few more cotton candy stands and cheap souvenirs? No thank you! But at least we'll have that historic carousel on the boardwalk, right? Yes, Marge. A ratty old carousel. Just what every town needs. When I was a kid, I had so many great memories on that carousel. That old carousel is a spinning-lawsuit waiting to happen. Yeah, let's just give our kiddos a rusty ride on a lead-painted horse. That'll make it all worth it. Task: "Collect Slarg Fish" (x125). Task: "Make Marge Remember Childhood Memories". The job takes place at the Municipal House of Pancakes, an Eatery, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If any Investorettes are owned: Task: "Make Investorettes Roll Their Eyes". The job takes place at the Municipal House of Pancakes, an Eatery, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Wait, so the carousel isn't enough to change your minds on this? Nope. Not even close! Not a chance. There's not one thing they could bring to the Squidport that'd make us approve of this waste of money. Good day, lovely ladies. Might you point my crew and I in the direction of City Hall? We're eager to get our hands on those fishing licenses. Oh my! It's like a dream come true. Luann, you're married! Oops, I dropped my ring in the sea. Guess we'll have to fish it out. Let's see how good this man is with his pole. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Barnacle Bay Marina

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 Get outta here with that rickety raft, ye land-lubbers! ¿Pardón? Allow me to translate his nautical nonsense. Why hello there, Captain! To what do we owe the pleasure of your seafaring displeasure? Why are you talking like that Flanders fella? Beats me! Well, you lily-livered pirates need to hoist anchor and set sail! This here's my docking spot! I still don't understand what he's saying. The Captain is saying he needs us to scuttle on outta here because he wants to park his floating mansion here. But I'm afraid we got ourselves a problem, Captain. You see, the city told us this is where we're supposed to drop anchor and unload our wares. Quimby! I'll be sending that Mayor of ours on a one-way trip to his watery demise! Task: "Collect Slarg Fish" (x125). Task: "Make the Sea Captain Curse Landlubbers". The job takes place at The Rotting Pelican, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or the Houseboat and takes 4 hours. If Skipper Jack is owned: Task: "Make Skipper Jack Commiserate With the Sea Captain". The job takes place at The Rotting Pelican, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or the Houseboat and takes 4 hours. Gentlemen, we've got a problem. Our latest catch is misshapen and diseased — no restaurant wants to buy it. Not even that Moe guy from Moe's Tavern. I'd buy your disgusting fish, I just don't serve food at my bar, that's all... This one's got a freakin' third eye! Aye, no fancy restaurant will touch those freak-flippers. So, we've got a boatload of fish nobody wants? Au contraire! I'll take the whole lot off yer hands! Excuse me, Captain? At the Frying Dutchman, we specialize in mutant seafood. And with you as my local supplier, we'll be raking in the doubloons! Hey, Jack, can I go back to Barnacle Bay now? Once you're in the game, there's no going back. What game? This is a game? ...oh. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Fausto

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Alright, I've had enough! These tourists and their tchotchke shops have no business being here in the Squidport. Time for a change of scenery. I've got a plan to get rid of them and bring the Squidport back to its glory days. Buckle up, kids! Our Barnacle Bay adventure awaits! The air tastes like Daddy's "drunk tank"! Are we sure it's a good idea to take the kids on this field trip? I mean, what if Principal Skinner finds out? I get to have Ralph off my hands for the day — I'm not risking that for anything. And here we are! The Barnacle Bay Carousel! This is it! A real-deal boardwalk carousel from the 1930s, right here in our Squidport! Whoa, I've never been on one of these things. It's like a Ferris wheel that fell on its side. Task: "Collect Slarg Fish" (x95). Task: "Make Marge Lead a Field Trip". The job takes place at the Boardwalk Carousel, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Youngsters Ride the Carousel" (x10). The jobs take place at the Boardwalk Carousel, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or a Brown House and take 4 hours. Task: "Make Teachers Do Nothing While Tagging Along" (x5). The jobs take place at the Boardwalk Carousel, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or a Brown House and take 4 hours. Task: "Make the Sea Captain Discover the Solution to His Problem". The job takes place at the Boardwalk Carousel, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. All right, children. What did you think of our little adventure today? I liked when the seahorses went up and down and all around. Yeah, that's a top-of-the-line carousel they got down here. Don't make them like that anymore — faster speed settings, jumpier horses, no safety railing... Let's go again! And so, it all comes down to the carousel. If it goes, everything goes. Time to find a first mate to help me hatch a plan. I could be your first mate! I played Samuel, the pirate king's lieutenant, in "The Pirates Of Penzance!" Please don't start singing from it. I believe that you were in it. POUR, OH, POUR THE PIRATE SHERRY / FILL, O FILL THE PIRATE GLASS! / AND, TO MAKE US MORE THAN MERRY / LET THE PIRATE BUMPER PASS! Hmm, you're definitely under consideration. But I think I'll go to the local tavern to interview some more prospects. I appreciate the opportunity! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Boardwalk Tents Bundle

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Wait, you want me to help you destroy the Barnacle Bay Carousel? Aye. And I heard ye've done it before, which makes ye the man fer the job. I don't know, Marge loves that carousel... Do it, Homer. You love burning things down. That is true, Devil Me. Don't do it, Homer. That carousel brings so many Springfielders joy — including Marge. That is also true, Angel Me. Have you caught the scurvy? Who are you talking to?! Oh, right. Well, I think I'll pass on burning it down. There's nothing really in it for me. Look, if you help me, I can promise ye five free "all you can eat" buffets at the Dutchman. LET'S DESTROY THIS CAROUSEL! Narrator That night, at the carousel... Alright, let's do this thing. I've got my gasoline and matches ready. Time to burn this baby down and chow down on all the fried fish I can handle. But wait, Homer. Think about Marge. She loves this carousel more than anything in the world. Burning it down will shatter her heart into a million pieces. Pfft, who cares? We break her heart every other week. We'll just say it got struck by lightning or something. She'll never suspect a thing. Oh man, not you guys again! How am I supposed to make a decision? Hey, look! A quarter! The answer to all of life's impossible choices! Task: "Collect Slarg Fish" (x145). Task: "Make Homer Flip a Coin to Decide". The job takes place at the Boardwalk Carousel, Barnacle Bay Marina, Squidport Entrance, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Alright, let's make this simple. I'll just flip a coin. Heads, I set the carousel ablaze and stuff my face with all the fried fish I can handle. Tails, I go home and drown my sorrows in Duff and pretend like nothing ever happened. *flips the coin* C'mon little buddy, decide my fate. D'oh! The quarter fell through the boardwalk! Also it landed on its side! Ahoy there, matey! Wha-? Oh, it's just you. What do you want, Captain? The deal's off. I just discovered the greatest thing since the invention of instant ramen! Have ye tried this funnel cake? The folks over at the Candy Shoppe really know their stuff. Do I still get my five free "all you can eat" buffets? Not in this lifetime, my friend.
