Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark
Milhouse - Excited Bart! The new issue of Radioactive Woman is out!
Bart - Surprised Women can't be superheroes! Whoever heard of women in tights?
Milhouse - Excited Supposedly on the cover you can see upper thigh and even, dare I say, lower butt.
Bart - Sneaky I think I'm coming around to the idea of female superheroes. It's largely butt related.
Comic Book Guy - Annoyed This is my last copy, and I simply cannot let it go for less than TWENTY DOLLARS!
Comic Book Guy I also accept Galactic credits, dwarven runes, and microwave burritos.
Milhouse - Sad Aw! I had $20, but I spent it on a collection of commemorative state quarters.
Lisa - Deadpan You spent $20 on $12.50 in quarters?
Milhouse Markets fluctuate, Lisa. Who knows how much a quarter will be worth next week?
Lisa - Angry 25 cents.
Milhouse - Sad Nuts, I don't know anything about finances!
Milhouse I mean, I talk the talk, but I can't walk the walk. Probably because of all the quarters in my pockets.
Bart Well, we're in luck! Helen Lovejoy is up next and she knows more about investments than I know about analogies.
Task: "Build Municipal House of Pancakes". It takes 4 hours.
If Luann is not obtained
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty I've searched everywhere! The Jacuzzi suit store, the American Gladiator's green room, the Shelbyville eyebrow outlet, and I can't find Luann!
Helen Lovejoy We cannot hold an Investorettes meeting without the full membership present.
Bart - Rolling Eyes Take it up with the Great Man in the Sky who hasn't forked over the donuts to bring her back to life.
Helen Lovejoy Was that Ezekiel 3:17? Bart, I didn't know you were so well versed in Bible quotes.
Message Will the Investorettes get two new members? Complete the Investorettes club to find out!

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Rev. Lovejoy Helen, my prayers have been answered! You're finally here...
Rev. Lovejoy - Happy ...and holding a perfectly seasoned roast beef sandwich?
Helen Lovejoy - Sad No, just me.
Rev. Lovejoy Well, one of my prayers was answered.
Rev. Lovejoy - Sad Although, you seem troubled by something.
Helen Lovejoy - Sad It's just, well, I've been in limbo for so long that I feel like I don't even know this town anymore.
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty How has everyone gone about with their business without my nose in it? I need a glass of fresh squeezed juicy gossip!
Rev. Lovejoy Perhaps Marge Simpson could be of service. She's both up to speed on the town's affairs, and not up to speed on mine.
Task: "Make Helen Make Marge Spill the Beans". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 60 minutes.
Afer starting the job
Helen Lovejoy - Happy Oh, Marge Simpson! How lovely to see you!
Marge I wish I could say the same thing to you, but I promised myself that I wouldn't lie.
Helen Lovejoy Oh Marge, you big jokester. So you'll only be lying to yourself from now on then?
Helen Lovejoy But enough about us -- let's talk about other people! Give me the gossip!
Marge - Angry Hmmmm...
After finishing the task
Marge Well, the big news in Springfield is that people seem to be turning up in order of importance.
Helen Lovejoy Nonsense. If that's the case I would have been home AGES ago.
Marge Would you?

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty Order of importance?!
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty How could I be LESS important than a politician's spoiled nephew or some juvenile delinquents?!? I have a first AND last name for goodness sake.
Helen Lovejoy - Sad That a perfect lady such as myself, who only thinks of others, could be seen as LESS important than an old, uneducated stripper?
Mrs. Muntz Who are you callin' educated?
Helen Lovejoy I said UN-educated.
Mrs. Muntz Oh. Carry on then.
Helen Lovejoy - Sad What are we teaching our children?!
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty Oh won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!
Task: "Make Helen Think of the Children". The job takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Rev. Lovejoy Helen, you are the most important person to me. Isn't that enough?
Helen Lovejoy There's a fire. You can either save me or your Christmas coal train car. Which do you save?
Rev. Lovejoy - Sad Let's not go down this road again, Helen.
Helen Lovejoy I can't believe that fat slob Homer Simpson is the most important person in Springfield.
Rev. Lovejoy Calm yourself, Helen. He isn't even a premium character.
Helen Lovejoy Premium? Oh I like the sound of that!
Helen Lovejoy - Happy Clearly, there was a mistake. I should be a premium character!
Task: "Make Helen Apply for Premium Status". The job takes place at the DMV and takes 4 hours.
Patty Premium status? Lady, this is the DMV. Does anyone here look premium to you?
Selma Now if you're looking for an eye test or novelty license plate, then maybe we can help.
Helen Lovejoy Hmm, perhaps I could use a new license plate.
Selma Great! In that case...
Selma ...you're in the wrong line.
Helen Lovejoy - Sad Ugh. Just tell me where to go to get premium status.
Selma Only a being of supreme power could grant you premium status. Maybe a postmaster general, but definitely not the DMV.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Helen Lovejoy I don't know why I thought the government was the answer. I need help from a higher power!
Rev. Lovejoy God?
Helen Lovejoy What?! Is He in this game before me too?
Task: "Make Helen Plead with a Higher Power". The job takes place at the First Church of Springfield and takes 8 hours.
After starting the job
Helen Lovejoy - Sad Oh great one, hear my wishes!
Helen Lovejoy - Sad I've been good, followed all the rules, publically shamed people for the things they do in private, and for this I believe I should be rewarded.
After finishing the task
Database - Sad Look, lady. I don't know who gave you my information, but that's not how things are done around here.
Database There are strategy meetings, lawyers, names picked out of hats...
Helen Lovejoy - Angsty PLEASE!
Database Fine! But don't say a nerd never did anything for you.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Database Now we just have to access your character data from the debug menu and set your status to premium.
Database Although you WILL need to be re-acquired through the Premium Stuff Menu.
Helen Lovejoy - Sad Is it going to hurt?
Database - Sad No, but there's a small chance it would create a paradox, which could destroy the entire universe!
Helen Lovejoy But, I'd be premium?
Database - Sad If the universe explodes, no one will be premium.
Helen Lovejoy That's fine too. Flip the switch!
Database There is no switch. It's actually a complicated system of 1s and 0s that diverts the CSS stylesheet...
Database ...whatever, it's done.
Task: "Get Helen Lovejoy from the Premium Menu".
Helen Lovejoy - Happy It worked! I'm a PREMIUM character! I've never felt so important in all my life.
Homer - Confused Um, Database, she's not REALLY a premium character... right?
Homer - Horrified People get mad around here when we change the price of houses. They'd go ballistic over that!
Database Well, she's not technically premium but... Hey! Look over there!
Homer - Ooh Ooh! That cloud looks like a rabbit!
Database Whew. Saved once again by my rabbit-shaped cloud emulation software.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Helen Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Rev. Lovejoy You look to be in much better spirits, my dear.
Rev. Lovejoy Did you discover some photos of a neighbor in a compromising position?
Helen Lovejoy - Happy Oh, much better than that. I just had myself turned premium.
Rev. Lovejoy Good for you. What do you say I make a reservation at the Gilded Truffle for my gilded lily?
Helen Lovejoy I have a better idea... do you still have that half mattress we got from the Simpsons?
Rev. Lovejoy Another reason I'm glad I'm not Catholic!
Task: "Make Helen "Worship" Alongside Rev. Lovejoy". The job takes place at the First Church of Springfield and takes 20 hours.
