Dialogue[edit]

|
|
I've got money. I've got influence. I've got much younger women. I am the er-uh epitome of success!
|
|
And yet no one respects me. It's as if wearing a sash doesn't carry the cachet it once did.
|
|
It's time to remind the people why I got into politics – the enormous displays of wealth!
|
| Task: "Build the Quimby Compound". It takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
The Quimby Compound was worth every embezzled penny.
|
|
|
And I, uh, taught those orphans an important lesson about living without doors.
|
|
|
I, on the other hand, have hundreds of doors for my five floors, four wings, three kitchens, two spas, and a partridge in a pear tree. Bronzed, of course.
|
|
Hiya, Uncle. I, uh, got kicked out of limbo's country club so I'm back!
|
|
|
The movers have already moved the maid into my room.
|
|
|
Then you tell them to move her back!
|
|
|
She's a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen for me.

|
|
Now that I've finished selecting my butler, it's time to party like it's going on Viewtube! Where's my box of cats?
|
|
|
Freddy, as the Mayor of Springfield, I'm expected to uphold a certain level of decorum.
|
|
|
That's why I do all my dirty dealings in back alleys and sleazy motels.
|
|
|
Don't worry, Uncle. I've learned the Quimby code of discretion from my father, Clovis.
|
|
|
He's the master! So discrete we haven't even seen him since he boarded that small plane years ago.
|
|
|
Well, I'm pretty sure this year isn't an election year, so we deserve to treat ourselves.
|
|
|
Speaking of which, I, uh, have an important meeting with Miss Springfield.
|
Task: "Make Freddy Quimby Drink Irresponsibly". The job takes 8 hours.
If Miss Springfield is owned: Task: "Make Miss Springfield Enjoy an Evening with the Mayor". The job takes place at the Sleep-Eazy Motel and takes 3 minutes.

|
|
Butler, for breakfast, I'll have the hair of the dog that bit me... so I can make it into a coat.
|
|
|
Plus some booze.
|
|
Your breakfast is on Springfield's dime today. Welcome to the drunk tank, Mister Quimby!
|
|
|
Joke's on you - my breakfast is on Springfield's dime everyday.
|
|
|
And since I don't remember anything I did last night and truly horrible acts are said to haunt you forever, I must be innocent.
|
|
|
I'd like my car and my complimentary gift bag.
|
|
You'll get your complimentary gift bag on your day in court!
|
|
*sigh* That sounded a lot more menacing in my head.
|
| Task: "Make Freddy Quimby Await His Day in Court". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 12 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Alright Freddy, time to get you to the courthouse for your arraignment.
|
|
Plus a little extra time at Lard Lad's. The Wig's got a craving for D-nuts.
|
|
I keep telling you, Chief -- neither of those nicknames is going to catch on.
|
|
You're making a mistake, Wiggum. Don't you understand that I'm rich?
|
|
|
Son, I've been making mistakes since the day I was born.
|
|
|
I came out feet first.
|
|
|
And sure, the justice system is just a dog and pony show if you're rich.
|
|
|
Or cleaning up after a dog and pony show if you're poor.
|
|
|
But we've got to go anyway.
|
| Task: "Make Freddy Quimby Make a Court Appearance". The job takes place at the Court House and takes 12 hours.
|
|
Frederick Quimby, you have been charged with a cornucopia of crimes, including defiling a cornucopia.
|
|
|
Which, according to the Pilgrims who wrote our town charter, is punishable by death. How do you plead?
|
|
Your Honor, you could hear how he pleads, or you could wrap this up and enjoy a complimentary lobster lunch buffet.
|
|
|
As a man of the law, you must agree that letting all this lobster go to waste is itself a crime.
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
Fine, my client pleads not guilty.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Freddy Quimby's exclamation mark
|
|
They found me, ah, guilty on all charges. The court is going to throw the, ah, book at me!
|
|
|
Trust the, ah, system, Freddy.
|
|
But the justice system fails all the time! Why should I trust it?
|
|
|
Not the justice system. The system of, ah, Ivy League graduates and family connections!
|
|
|
To the Rolodex!
|
| Task: "Make Quimby Call In Favors". The job takes place at the Quimby Compound, requires Freddy Quimby, and takes 12 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Judge Snyder's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Freddy, it's time to hear the sentence.
|
|
|
Now remember, good or bad, we still walk out of that courtroom with our heads held high and my retainer fully paid.
|
| Task: "Make Judge Snyder Deliver a Sentence". The job takes place at the Court House and takes 12 hours.
|
|
|
Your honor, before you read the sentence I'd like to say a few words.
|
|
|
It probably would have been smarter to have said those words before the trial was over, but I have no one to go home to, so alright.
|
|
I did not inhale, have relations with that woman, or falsify reports regarding WMDs.
|
|
|
One of those should get me out of this mess, right?
|
|
|
I have something to say, Your, uh, Honor!
|
|
|
There's a new municipal by-law, issued this morning, that you, ah, must be aware of.
|
|
|
It states "charges against any public figure must be reduced if the defendant regrets that he, or the less likely she, is caught."
|
|
|
"The defendant may also publicly enter any twelve-step program, but does not have to complete it."
|
|
|
"And may apologize on national television, but doesn't have to mean it."
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Freddy Quimby's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I can't believe this! They gave me indefinite house arrest!
|
|
|
Thanks to my buddy Gerry Mandering at city hall, your "house" now covers all of Springfield.
|
|
|
He's a whiz at rezoning – he calls it Mandermania.
|
|
|
But what if I want French Caviar? Or Chinese Silk? Or Turkish Delight?
|
|
All of those women make house calls and you know it.
|
|
|
And if you follow the rules, you might get time off for good behavior.
|
|
|
Rules? You mean like take off my shoes while inside? Like an animal?
|
|
|
You might as well lock me up. Like an animal!
|
| Task: "Make Freddie Quimby Enjoy a Privileged Life". The job takes place at the Quimby Compound and takes 24 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 5,000 and 500
