	Hey, Milhouse. What's your hat size? I wanna get you a cap just like mine.
	Why don't you just give me yours?
	That's a great idea! This is gonna be your best birthday party this week!
	Unbelievable. Milhouse is friends with Jimbo now? Every time I try to make him uncool, he ends up even cooler.
	Excuse me, Superfriend, if you're done monologuing, it's your turn to roll the dodecahedron.
	sigh Okay here goes.
	Gack! That's the icosahedron! Bart, get your head in the game!
	Look, the only reason I agreed to play Dungheaps and Doofuses with you guys is because you're the only ones left who can't get into Milhouse's dumb birthday parties.
	Actually, we hacked the app and acquired a reservation to tonight's late seating.
	Of course you did.

	Well, as soon as the feeling is back in our cheeks we could get gelato.

After completing The Van Houten Curse Pt. :
	Milhouse, I think we should stop hanging out.
	Why? Was it Nana?
	No, I liked Nana. She had very strong pinching fingers. Much stronger than your other grandma's.
	It's just that I realized that, just because other people think you're cool, doesn't mean I have to.
	I learned a lesson, too. That it isn't important what others think of me. Just what you think of me.
	Oh, Milhouse, that's sweet.
	Sweet enough to change your mind about hanging out with me?
	No. But sweet enough to make me pity you.
	I'll take that.

	Alright. I'll try to suck it up.
	No! Cry! Cry like a bambino! Get used to it. This is the Van Houten Curse.
	What is?
	All Van Houtens have a short time when they become popular. How do you think your Papa won over my Luann?
	I thought he could crush beer cans on his forehead.
	And remember — the Van Houten popularity never comes back after it leaves. Ever.
	Never?
	NEVER.
	Now, come. I'm going to get you the best gelato Springfield's Little Italy has to offer. Not that good, but I have a coupon. Buy ninety-eight...

After completing The Van Houten Curse Pt. :
	Did you guys see Milhouse crying earlier?
	Yeah, Lisa broke up with him.
	So, does that make Lisa even more popular now?
	Maybe if Milhouse was still cool. But since he cried like a baby, he definitely isn't cool anymore.
	So, by the transitive properties of coolness, Lisa's just Lisa again.
	I don't think I follow...
	Me neither. Let's just say they're both uncool now. C'mon, let's go jump rope!
	Hey Bart, let's go to my house. There may be some Squishee syrup left over from the last of my parties.
	That sounds great! But you know what sounds even greater? We go to MY house.
Task: Collect Pasta Bowls [x190] Task: Make Bart Invite Milhouse to His House (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) Task: Make Milhouse Play at Bart's House (4h, Simpson House or Brown House)
	So how come your Nana is so cool but she's still related to you?
	She's not a Van Houten. She's a Mussolini.
	Oh. That's a name to be proud of.
	No one is cooler than an authentic Italian. I wonder if I inherited anything from that side of the family.
	I could shoot you with the Go-Go Ray and see if you dance the tarantella.
	Worth a try!
