{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Madam President, the latest approval numbers are in.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|You don’t have to keep calling me Madam President. We've known each other since we were in diapers.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Perhaps not as long ago as we’d like to admit.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Really?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Anyway, about your approval rating — it’s twice as high as any president in the last thirty-five years. A whopping 51%!}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|I’m glad to hear it. Though, it’s concerning that so few Americans have been satisfied with their president in such a long time.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Well, the rise of the Civil Unrest Party caused the Global Dominators to kill off the New Feudalists and opened the door for the We the Party People party.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I’m well aware of our nation’s history, Milhouse. Now, was there anything else?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|I was thinking you might want to show your gratitude with an address to the nation.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Good idea. Let’s fit it in between golfing with the Sino-Soviet trade delegation and parasailing with the ambassador to the Magic Kingdom.}}

{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Secretary Van Houten. May I have a moment?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Who are you?}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|A nameless lackey with ties to the deep state.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|But the deep state doesn’t exist.}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|And if you want to keep it that way, you’ll listen to what I have to say. Our oppo research has revealed that you have a thing for the president.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|What — No! Who told you that?}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Relax, I’m only here to help. Now, here’s the proposition…}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Secretary Van Houten Listen to the Proposition|4 hours|the [[U.S. Capitol Building]], [[Town Hall]], or a [[Brown House]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|You really think that would work?}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Absolutely. My source has assured me that the president is extremely fond of public displays of affection during nationally televised speeches.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|That seems like an awfully specific piece of intelligence. Who is your source?}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|I could tell you that, but then I’d have to kill you.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Oh, God please no, don’t tell me, don’t tell me!}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Uh…that was just an expression. Anyway, we just want to see the president “happy”.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Well, when you put it in oddly menacing quotation marks…it sounds like a great idea!}}

=== Pt. 3 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After tapping on Secretary Van Houten's exclamation mark|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|My fellow Americans, you honor me and my administration with your historic high marks and praise.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|I’d like to particularly thank the donors who gave the maximum amount below what is required for public disclosure.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Madam President, we have a situation.}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Not now, Milhouse, can’t you see I’m in the middle of a speech?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Exactly. {{*}}lifts boombox over his head{{*}} President Lisa, I love you. Will you marry me?}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Are you insane?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Is that a yes?!}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Ugh, it’s a hard no! Not in a million years!}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Ahem. Apologies for the interruption. Now where was I?}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Oh yes, when I took over the presidency, America was a global embarrassment. I felt that pain then, and I REALLY feel it right now…}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Secretary Van Houten Wallow in Shame|4 hours|the [[U.S. Capitol Building]], [[Town Hall]], or a [[Brown House]]}}<br>{{Task/Optional|Make President Lisa Be Embarrassed|4 hours|the [[U.S. Capitol Building]], [[Town Hall]], or a [[Brown House]]|char=[[President Lisa]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Milhouse! What has gotten into you? How could you embarrass me like that on national television?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I’m sorry, Lisa. I got some bad intel. What can I do to help?}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Call a cabinet meeting. I need the Secretary of Social Media and the Deputy Director for Trending Hashtags to advise me on #omgshebmean.}}

{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Walking briskly down long hallways in the West Wing is the perfect place to think…}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|I need to do something. I got Lisa into this situation, so it’s up to me to bail her out… I’ve got it!}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Secretary Van Houten Twirl His Sign|8 hours}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|It’s no use. This sign twirling gets less attention than climate change.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Hey you! You’re the guy who told me to propose to Lisa on camera!}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Easy there, guy. I never told you to propose.}}
{{Tapped Out Man-in-Tan Icon}}
{{TB|Although it was absolutely hilarious the way she turned you down. I haven’t laughed that hard since the day we shot that Go-Go Ray at Skinner.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Bart?! Is that you?}}
{{Tapped Out Mooch Bart Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Took ya long enough to guess. You’re more gullible than CIA Director Ralph Wiggum.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|How could you do that to me? I humiliated myself in front of the whole country.}}
{{Tapped Out Mooch Bart Icon}}
{{TB|More importantly, you humiliated Lisa. I just needed her taken down a peg. Mom’s been going on and on about her since those approval ratings came in.}}
{{Tapped Out Mooch Bart Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I couldn’t get her to make me a quesadilla last night. She wanted ME to do it so she could watch Lisa’s stupid speech. Can you believe that?}}

=== Pt. 5 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After tapping on Secretary Van Houten's exclamation mark|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|You put Milhouse up to this? Bart, do you understand the ramifications of what you’ve done?!}}
{{Tapped Out Mooch Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Relax, Lis. This’ll all blow over by the next news cycle. Which is in three…two…one…}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|{{*}}panting{{*}} Lisa…you’re not…going to…believe it…}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|What now?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Your approval rating…shot up…to 78%!}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|That’s higher than the day President Gaga pushed Jeff Zuckerberg out of Air Force One. How is that possible?}}
{{Tapped Out Mooch Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Probably because you turned down a lame-o like Milhouse.}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It’s true! All of the pundits attribute your approval increase to everyone’s disapproval of me! Isn’t that great? I fixed it!}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|So, since your approval rating is now the highest in history, how about a kiss?}}
{{Tapped Out President Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Well, we wouldn’t want to upset the voters, would we, Milhouse?}}
{{Tapped Out Secretary Van Houten Icon}}
{{TB|Uh, right. Okay. I’ll just go sit in the Situation Room and listen to the rest of that song on my boombox.}}
