{{TB|I'm just doing my part to help make Springfield a cleaner place.}}
{{Tapped Out Snake Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Yo, lady, watch the thorns. That's like police brutality.}}
{{Tapped Out Wiggum Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Police brutality?! We can't be too careful these days. Better let him down, Hydrangea.}}
{{Tapped Out Snake Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I can't believe that worked. So long, suckers. {{*}}starts running{{*}}}}

{{TB|Aw, jeez, he's getting away. Catch him, Hydrangea! Use all the police brutality you want!}}

{{TB|Whenever Hydrangea uses super plants to thwart criminals she's praised as a hero. When my nuclear radiation creates one, everyone casts me as a villain!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|You're right, sir. It's a complete double standard.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Thinking}}
{{TB|I wonder… Is there any way to leverage Hydrangea's unique talents to our benefit?}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|I'm not sure. Given your reputation as a tyrant.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|A tyrant? Who said I'm a tyrant?}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Certainly not me! Just…every other person in Springfield.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, well, all the more reason to enlist a superhero to our ranks. Go. Make it happen.}}

{{TB|Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Hydrangea. I find myself in need of your services.}}
{{Tapped Out Hydrangea Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Look, I'll tell you what I tell everyone. I cannot grow medical mari—}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|No, no. You misunderstand. I'm afraid there are some extremists that claim the pollution caused by my power plant is having an adverse effect on the local fauna.}}
{{Tapped Out Hydrangea Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah. I'm one of them.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|In that case, would it not be in both of our interests to come to an agreement?}}

{{TB|So, the next time our radiation produces another abomination; you turn it back to normal with your superpowers. No more lawsuits.}}
{{Tapped Out Hydrangea Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Isn't it wiser to stop the radiation leaks that cause the problem?}}

{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|I did, sir, but Hydrangea has subdued them by surrounding them with calming chamomile.}}
