{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Ahhhh!!! Send me back! I wanna see my family!}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon}}

{{TB|The human race has evolved beyond the pettiness of racial bigotry.}}

{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Apathetic}}

{{TB|Why the hell did you bring me here, little girl?}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|To help me with my family tree presentation for school. After that, I can put you in the Clone Recycler and you’ll go back to your previous state of, uh, “not existing”.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|Hm. “Not existing”. I see. Interesting. Pardon me a sec…}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!}}

{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|It’s me, Virgil! You helped hide me at your circus.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Old Annoyed}}
{{TB|I don’t have a circus, Mac. I had a TV show. Until “cancel culture” caught up with me. The network “cancelled” my show because it had no “culture”.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|I don’t know what any of that means, but I need you to help me again.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Old Confused}}
{{TB|Again? Were we in a cult together? Pyramid scheme? Buddy cop movie in the eighties? If you wanna make a sequel, all inquiries need to go through my agent, who died twenty years ago.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Argh! You’re no help at all!}}

{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Silhouette}}
{{TB|Excuse me, fine sir. I am a time traveller from the year 2020. Can you tell me what year it is?}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|You’re from the past? Me too!}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Ah, it is indeed a small world, universe, and space time continuum. Glayvin.}}

{{TB|Heavens. A clone with implanted memories who is being hunted by a killer. That’s quite a story.}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I think I will go back in time, write a movie about it, and call it “The Runner, with the Blades, and the Hoivik, and Glayvinnn and the Running. So Much Running”.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It can’t fail with a title like that. I assume. What’s a screenplay?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|A waste of time, unless you have a star attached.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Wow. In the future you have control of the stars?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|Only agents and publicists do.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Wow. They must be gods amongst men.}}

{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|What did you call me?}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|G-X-4 Grampa. It’s an abbreviation of great-great-great-great Grampa. It’s shorter.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|By one syllable.}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Right. Think of all the time we’ll save.}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|The math checks out! Tell me, child. Why did you bring this man-clone here just to hunt him and kill him, with the hurting and the chasing?}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|G-X-4 Grampa, I didn’t bring you here to kill you. I brought you here to find out more about the harsh realities of early African American history.}}
{{Tapped Out Virgil Simpson Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Really?}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It’s very important to document and pass down these stories. “Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it”. I believe the great Elon Musk said that. Or at least he claims he did.}}

{{TB|Will my family be there?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|Do you want them to be?}}

{{TB|Of course.}}

{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Well, building my time machine was a very expensive endeavor, so I thought I’d pay it off by buying a Sports Almanac from said future, and wagering on the predetermined outcome of said games.}}
{{Tapped Out Zia Simpson Icon|Snide}}
{{TB|Like in Back to the Future 2?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|No, not like that at all. Now tell me, where can I find a Sports Almanac store?}}
