{{TB|Dad! Just listen. Who gave you the land with the cabin?}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Confused}}
{{TB|I don't know. The fancy lawyer told us about it. He also did all my estate planning.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Phone Confused}}
{{TB|The lawyer who did your estate plan was the same guy who gave you the land?}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Happy}}
{{TB|Yeah! He was the same one who came by to do my estate planning, too. Very nice man. Useful!}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Confused}}
{{TB|Yup I remember now. He said he was giving us parcels of land and putting it right in our wills. Now that I hear myself say that it sounds a bit hinky.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|It looks like Mr. Burns gifted the land to the retirees and then paid for estate plans to be drawn up so the inheritors would be stuck cleaning up his dump sites.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Phone}}
{{TB|Did you hear that?}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, but I understood it even less!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Phone Annoyed}}
{{TB|You let Mr. Burns give you a toxic waste dump and now it's our problem!}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Annoyed}}
{{TB|Not so fast! There's one catch.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Phone Ooh}}
{{TB|A catch? Oh, goody goody! What is it?}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Annoyed}}
{{TB|The lawyer fella said that land ain't legally ours until we set foot on it.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Phone Horrified}}
{{TB|…}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Phone Annoyed}}
{{TB|So as long as you aren't stupid enough to go up there and hoof around, we're totally fine.}}

{{TB|Uh, Dr. Hibbert? How is all this nerd crap going to help us ditch our crappy property?}}
