Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Sebastian Cobb's exclamation mark
Sebastian Cobb I'm starting to like this town. Perhaps I will stay here.
Professor Frink As the principle of mass dilation said to the matter accelerating near the speed of light, not so fast!
Professor Frink I'm the scientist in this town. I even have a crazy house that's never been in the show to prove it!
Sebastian Cobb I'd have thought you relished the idea of another intellect in town. We could work on papers together.
Professor Frink Nice try, Cobb. But I don't publish with people whose names come before mine alphabetically.
Sebastian Cobb But you can't make me leave -- I've already been paid for.
Professor Frink - Angry You made the wrong mad scientist mad!

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Sebastian Cobb's exclamation mark
Sebastian Cobb - Sad How did that man beat me in science? Half the things he was saying didn't even make sense.
Professor Frink Science isn't about making sense -- look at quantum mechanics! If you want a role in this town, you're going to need a new angle.
Sebastian Cobb Hmm. Well, I HAVE always been a bit of a doom-and-gloom pessimist. Does this town need a nay-sayer?
Comic Book Guy I should say not.
Sebastian Cobb You think you've got a more negative attitude than me? You clearly love food, while I love nothing.
Comic Book Guy Wrong! I am heavyset not because I love food, but because I hate myself.
Comic Book Guy When I'm done with you, those glasses you're wearing will be rose-colored!
Task: "Make Sebastian Cobb and Comic Book Guy Have a Negative Off". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon or the Rail Yard and takes 60 minutes.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Sebastian Cobb's exclamation mark
Sebastian Cobb - Sad Defeated again. That man is as bitter as denatonium.
Comic Book Guy Worst. Joke. Ever.
Sebastian Cobb I need a niche... but what?
Moe What?
Sebastian Cobb Yes, what.
Moe I'm sorry, but when you say "what" it sounds like "vhat"... even though it ain't written that way.
Sebastian Cobb Yes, that is because of my German accent.
Sebastian Cobb Hey, maybe that can be my thing!
Wolfcastle Zat seems unlikely.
Uter There are already TWO of us.
Task: "Make Sebastian Cobb and Wolfcastle AND Uter Have a German Off". The job takes place at Wolfcastle's Mansion or the Rail Yard and takes 60 minutes.

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Sebastian Cobb's exclamation mark:
Sebastian Cobb - Sad It's useless. I have nothing to contribute to this world. I may as well not even exist.
Moe Nice try there, Colonel Clink. But utter hopelessness is MY thing!
Moe You don't want to have a lack of self-esteem with me. I've got noose bruises in places you can't imagine.
Sebastian Cobb *sigh* I must be the most unoriginal character in Springfield.
Moe Well, at least that's something.
Sebastian Cobb - Happy You're right! That's my defining characteristic. Being non-unique is what makes me unique!
Moe There you go. Everyone's happy!
Task: "Make Sebastian Cobb Celebrate His Unoriginality". The job takes place at the Rail Yard and takes 60 minutes.
If Moe is owned: Task: "Make Moe Wallow in Depression". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 60 minutes.
