Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Sideshow Bob's exclamation mark
Sideshow Bob How can I ruin the Simpsons' Christmas?
Gino Underdunk Terwilliger - Happy Murder?
Sideshow Bob I always try that. I think it's time to mix it up a bit.
Gino Underdunk Terwilliger - Happy Torture, then murder?
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Go find your mother. Daddy's plotting and needs some alone time.
If Gino Underdunk Terwilliger is owned: Task: "Make Gino Find His Mother". The job takes place at Santa's Castle, Santa's Workshop, Santa's Village, Santa's House, Christmas Tree Farm, Christmas Carousel, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Sideshow Bob Not Plan a Murder". The job takes 4 hours.
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed That was harder than expected. It's nearly impossible to think of the Simpsons without plotting murder.
Gino Underdunk Terwilliger - Happy Vendetta! Vendetta!
Sideshow Bob Yes, Gino, I underestimated you. That doesn't mean I'm ready to get up to my old tricks just yet. But you've given me an idea...

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Sideshow Bob's exclamation mark
Santa Sideshow Bob Step right up, children. Tell Santa about your parents' security systems. I mean, what you want for Christmas.
Homer - Happy About time! *sits on Sideshow Bob's lap* I want a kegerator, a giant donut pool floatie, and a real donut the same size as the pool floatie.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Ooof. You're a little large to be sitting on Santa's lap. Shouldn't you leave this for your children?
Homer No way. My kids would never ask for the stuff I want.
Santa Sideshow Bob Well, if Santa's going to put your presents under the tree, he needs to know all about your home security. Wouldn't want to accidentally set off your alarm.
Homer Oh, that's easy. We don't have any. If you can't fit the big things down the chimney, I can make sure the door is unlocked. I'll leave it unlocked starting tonight in case you want to come early. *leaves*
Santa Sideshow Bob - Happy That was too easy. *laughs maniacally*
Homer - Confused What was too easy?
Santa Sideshow Bob - Surprised Oh, I thought you'd left.
Homer I had. But I only walked like ten feet. You gotta wait longer. *leaves*
Santa Sideshow Bob *waits*
Homer *keeps walking*
Santa Sideshow Bob *waits*
Homer - Skeptical There was something really familiar about that laugh. I don't think that was Santa at all.
Santa Sideshow Bob *yelling* I can still hear you!
Homer - Annoyed Gah. *walks further*
Moe Homer, it's just a guy in a suit. You know Santa's not real, right?
Homer - Curious I don't think that's true, Moe. If this guy is pretending to be Santa, he's up to something. I'm gonna follow him.
Task: "Make Homer Stalk Santa Sideshow Bob". The job takes place at Sideshow Bob and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Santa Sideshow Bob Steal Christmas Presents". The job takes place at Visitable Homes and takes 4 hours.
Homer - Angry Stop, thief! I knew you had to be up to something.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed You moron, I'm Santa. I'm delivering presents.
Homer - Snobby Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I knew all that stuff about doing it in one night was nonsense.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Happy That was too easy. *laughs maniacally*
Homer I didn't even leave that time.
Santa Sideshow Bob I've gotta stop gloating so quickly.
Homer - Surprised Wait! I do know that laugh! Sideshow Bob! POLICE!

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Sideshow Bob's exclamation mark
Lou You're lucky I happened to be driving by, Homer. You know when people say "call the police" they mean on the phone, right?
Homer - Confused What good would it do if I yelled "police" into a phone?
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Can you tell this imbecile that I've done nothing wrong?
Lou Actually, we've gotten several reports of someone fitting your description stealing Christmas presents.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Confused That's simple mischief. Surely there's no law against that.
Lou Just because you weren't attempting murder this time, doesn't mean you didn't commit a crime.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed That's ridiculous! What could this crime where no harm was done be called?
Lou Theft.
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Now you're just making stuff up.
Lou I'm afraid not. You're under arrest.
Santa Sideshow Bob Then I want Homer arrested for stalking!
Homer - Skeptical Well, now look who's making up crimes.
Santa Sideshow Bob There's no way he just happened upon me. I think I saw him behind me at the last dozen houses.
Homer Ha! A desperate attempt. Book him, Lou.
Lou He's right, Homer. If you've been following him around, that's stalking. I have to take you in.
Homer - Confused Take me in? As in...take me into your arms for a brotherly hug?
Lou I'm afraid not.

Homer *walking around a corner* Ah, back on the streets. Just in time for Christmas.
Santa Sideshow Bob *walking around the same corner* Ah, back on the streets. Just in time to watch the Simpsons be miserable without their father for Christmas.
Homer - Angry *smashes into Santa Sideshow Bob* Watch where you're going!
Santa Sideshow Bob - Surprised *smashes into Homer* Open your eyes, you big goon!
Homer - Surprised Sideshow Bob!
Santa Sideshow Bob - Surprised Homer Simpson!
Santa Sideshow Bob - Annoyed I'm beginning to think there is something seriously wrong with the justice system in Springfield.
Homer Agreed.
Santa Sideshow Bob I guess I'll just stick to murder and take full advantage of it then.
Homer - Annoyed Not agreed.
