{{TB|What about you?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Well, let's see… I got a new iron, and… Did I mention my new iron?}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon}}
{{TB|Guess it's been a real crazy time for both of us.}}

{{TB|Would you like to try the iron?}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon}}
{{TB|Thanks, but what I'd really love right now is a job.}}

{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|Here she comes. Make her feel welcome.}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon}}
{{TB|Hey guys.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon}}
{{TB|Hey Ruth. We were just talking about how we like fashion, babies, small plate restaurants and Grey's Anatomy.}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|I love anything Shonda Rhimes does.}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon}}
{{TB|I don't really like any of those things, but what I do like is beer. You guys want to join me?}}

{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Dreamy}}
{{TB|Wow, Ruth. Being with you is like being with one of the guys.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon}}
{{TB|If you're just like us, maybe all our notions of gender difference are just arbitrary social constructions.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sarcastic}}
{{TB|Yeah, what he said. And you smell better than Lenny.}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Got my first paycheck today, so the bar tab's on me!}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon|Sad}}

{{TB|We're all doing the same work, but the guys all get paid more than me!}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|I see. That's quite a quandary. By the way, do you happen to see an opening for a trap door anywhere around here?}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|No. Why?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Diabolical}}
{{TB|No reason. Now could you be a sweetheart and dig a ten-foot pit, disguise it with some banana leaves and then jump in?}}
{{Tapped Out Ruth Powers Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Why would I do that?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|You question my orders?! It's that kind of attitude that gets you paid less than a man. Now get back to work or you're fired!}}

{{TB|Tell me about it.}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|We should protest. Let's stage a work slowdown until Burns sets things right!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|I don't think I can work any slower. I pretty much do nothing as it is.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|So instead, I will set up an “Ice Cream Sundae Bar for Gender Equality Awareness”.}}

{{TB|I don't see how that helps our cause.}}
