{{THT|After starting the update|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It's the 4th of July! Time to grab my secret stash of illegal fireworks from their hiding place!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Alarmed}}
{{TB|You kept a box of fireworks hidden behind the basement furnace?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, but, see, I put this this heavy can of gasoline on top of the box, so that if any ka-booms happened, the explodey parts wouldn't be able to get out. Safe!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Nagging}}
{{TB|You're a nuclear safety engineer, right?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|…*Long Pause*}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Yes.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Deadpan}}
{{TB|You had to think about that a long time.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|I did. Anyway, time to “inspect” some of these little guys in the backyard! Ka-boom!}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Homer “Safety Inspect” Fireworks|4 hours}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|You're not really “inspecting” those fireworks so much as you are “lighting them with a match held in your teeth.”}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|That's how the pros do it.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Anyway, the only way to properly test fireworks is to set off so many the sky shines like a beacon!}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|…a beacon that is easily noticeable by any Class IX Rigellian Battle Cruisers that happen to be passing through your pathetic solar system!}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|Kodos!}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|It's Kang! Not all Rigellians look alike, you know. That's super-insulting. Super-duper-times-infinity insulting, oh tiny human intellect!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Sorry. Kind of sensitive about that, aren't you?}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Silence! *Long Pause* Please.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Just because your vile species is about to be death-rayed out of existence, that's no reason for me to be rude. So, please be silent, you insignificant worm.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Alarmed}}
{{TB|You're going to destroy our planet? Why?}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|That series of explosions you just sent up is Intergalactic Signal Light Morse Code for “please obliterate my irrelevant planet immediately.”}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|We take it back! Dad, tell the nice alien we take it back!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}

{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Huh? Oh, sorry, sweetie. I was just playing the “Happy Little Elves” game on my phone. It's super-addictive.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|I know, right? So good…}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|I didn't realize aliens played it too!}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|It just came out in the Palm O.S. app store two days ago. For some reason, we always get stuff late.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Uh, maybe because nobody still uses Palm phones.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|All on Rigel use Palm! Palm is the superior form of mobile telephony! All hail Palm!}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Now I must use my Palm to program in the coordinates for the death ray strike! Prepare to perish!}}

{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Okay, Kang. Time to program that death ray. Work, work, work.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Hmm… maybe just a few minutes with the Happy Little Elves game first. Just a quick visit to my town. Then, I'll get some serious work done.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Serious}}
{{TB|Look at Kang's town! He's been playing just two days, and it's already way cooler than mine!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sarcastic}}
{{TB|He must be spending a fortune! And spending lots of money to rush builds is a form of cheating.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Er, but not when you do it, Sky Finger. Go on splashing that cash.}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Homer Trash Talk a Fellow Gamer|12 hours}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}

{{Tapped Out Kang Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|How dare you question my spending habits, human spendthrift! Now I will program my death ray to wipe your kind from the galaxy!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Weren't you supposed to do that hours ago?}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|I know! But this holiday event demands the constant attention of my vastly superior intelligence! Blast these mobile games!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Hey! If we're elf-friends we can gift each other berries to get through the event faster! I can't seem to buy them anymore.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|I had to put the parental locks on. You kept maxing out the credit cards!}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Homer Friend Request Kang|2 hours}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Look, Lisa! Kang friended me! You remember Kang, right?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Deadpan}}
{{TB|Big green guy? About to murder you and everyone you love?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|Great glayvin! If Kang friended Homer, there may be a way to use the connection to hack into the Rigellian Master Computer!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Deadpan}}
{{TB|You mean, like they did in “Independence Day?” Wasn't that the dumbest plot point in an already-dumb movie?}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|It certainly was! I hope it works as implausibly for us as it did for them!}}

=== Pt. 6 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|Good news! I have cloned Homer's account to every mobile device in Springfield! And loaded them all with elf berries.}}
{{Tapped Out Professor Frink Icon}}
{{TB|If we all spam Kang's phone with elf berries, we can crash the alien computer network!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Quick, everyone! Execute this idiotic plan that was devised by lazy writers who have absolutely no clue how computers work!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Their unwillingness to come up with a more believable twist to this story may just save us all!}}

{{TB|Great Krandor's tentacles! The influx of elf berries has overloaded my entire system! Not that that makes any sense whatsoever!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Look, Kang's UFO is falling from the sky!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|WooHoo}}
{{TB|Woo-hoo! We did it!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sarcastic}}
{{TB|Now to do the only thing Americans still do well: channel all our rage at illegal aliens.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Stern}}
{{TB|Hold on, now. There's some paperwork involved in kicking aliens out of the country. Shouldn't require more than fifteen years or so.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Foolish humans! It was my plan all along to get trapped here by your painfully slow bureaucracy.}}
{{Tapped Out Kang Icon}}
{{TB|Also, I'm going to take all your jobs! We Rigellians work cheap!}}
