{{TB|Going to see the witch.}}
{{Tapped Out Gnome-in-the-Home Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|The witch? I didn't agree to that!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|You run the creepiest ride in town and you're stuck in your costume by some sort of magic spell, but you're scared of a witch?}}
{{Tapped Out Witch Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|As well he should be! How dare you approach me!}}
{{Tapped Out Gnome-in-the-Home Icon|Surprised}}

{{Tapped Out Gnome-in-the-Home Icon}}
{{TB|I remember getting hired and then going deep into the bowels of the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome ride.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Then that's where we'll start. If cartoons have taught me anything, we'll find some creepy caretaker that's behind the whole thing.}}

{{Tapped Out Gnome-in-the-Home Icon}}
{{TB|I can't take off this costume and I can't remember who I am. Do you know who I am?}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|No idea. If we did background checks at carnival rides, we'd never hire anyone.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Where did the costume come from?}}
{{Tapped Out Herman Icon}}
{{TB|Bought it off Moeslist. Only cost me three beers. Heck of an investment, too. That thing practically doubled ticket sales.}}
{{Tapped Out Gnome-in-the-Home Icon}}
