{{TB|Smithers, it's been three hours and I haven't killed any wildlife. I'll sue this forest!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Sorry, sir.}}

{{TB|Pah! Stow your "sorry". I can't shoot at it.}}

{{TB|Damnation! Still nothing!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Err, sir? Please be careful waving your gun around. It's a little dangerous.}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Nonsense. Why this gun has been in my family for eighty years! The only thing it's killed is a few of my ancestors… accidentally…right after they signed their wills.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|That gun, sir, has a will of its own. Remember how it misfired when the butler sneezed?}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|He deserved it! Besides, I've got it well under control. I was in the artillery in the world war. Don't ask which side. {{*}}gun fires{{*}}}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Ahh!}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Fiddlesticks! That was my last round! Perhaps it is time to upgrade from this randomly discharging bullet blaster. Come along.}}

{{TB|What you see is what we have.}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Oh, come now. You must have a secret store of weapons stashed behind some crates in their back room!}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|I used to have one in the shed out back. But due to an unfortunate issue with some Bulgarian explosives and a lightning storm…}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon|Sly}}
{{TB|…let's just say that it suddenly relocated all the way to [[Shelbyville]].}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, yes…well then, let's have a look at your arsenal and see if I can find something that will cause the animals to quake in fear.}}

{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|It's just right! Yes, indeed.}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|No, pal, it's a BB gun.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|And "BB" for "Burns Blaster"! See, sir, it's even named after you!}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|{{*}}wipes away a tear{{*}} I always wanted a machine of death to have my name.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Mr. Burns, let me finish this transaction. Why don't you go wait in the car?}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Yes, and dream of the first lucky animal to be laid out by my shiny new gun.}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|You sure this is the one he wanted to have?}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|No. It's the one I want him to have. Out in the woods today he nearly killed me six times. That's twice the normal rate.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Also, the recoil from a normal gun sends Mr. Burns sailing like a seagull on a mighty ocean breeze.}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|Well, this baby's gotta kick so gentle it'll lull you to sleep.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Really?}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|Go ahead. Try her out.}}

{{TB|{{*}}pit-ting! pit-tang! pit-tong!{{*}}}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Excited}}
{{TB|I feel like a buckaroo.}}

{{TB|A kind and thoughtful one?}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Never! Now sound the deer call!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|I've been sounding it, sir. We really need to have your hearing checked.}}

{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Richard Texan! It is I, Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber Burns! Plus some other names, but I'm in a hurry.}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Speaking of names, what in the name of Sam Houston are you doin' poaching on my property?!}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|The only poaching I do is of eggs and that is handled by a service in the south of France. This is my property!}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|The Devil it is!}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|And that's who I purchased it from! I agreed to take back my soul from the Devil if he gave me this land.}}

{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Oh no.}}
