{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|As you can see here, Mr. Burns, your power plant is in the red.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Cancel [[Disney+]]! I don't know why I ever subscribed — my only streaming device is a ticker tape machine.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|The image resolution is decidedly meh, and every time I watch a movie I'm crushed beneath a mountain of paper!}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|We agree that cancelling Disney+ is a prudent way to save eight dollars per month, but the plant will still be many, many millions of dollars in the red.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|We can pay our other bills with BiteCoin.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|I didn't know you dabbled in cryptocurrency, sir.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|In what now? I mean: set the hounds on the bill collectors.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Ah, I see. BITE Coin. I'm sure they'd be able to evade them quite easily.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Thinking}}
{{TB|Are you saying they have some sort of dodge-coin? Perhaps if we used some kind of tether…}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Maybe we should look at some other strategies for improving worker productivity, sir.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|You're right! The greedy workers are the problem.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Let's move the plant somewhere where we'll be given a free hand by a corrupt government and a gullible population manipulated by appeals to prejudice.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|We already did that, sir. That's why we moved here from North Korea.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|When you're treating your workers even worse than the commies, you know you've done your part!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|Since we've maxed-out oppression, maybe we could try to toggle a few other levers, sir. Such as worker satisfaction and motivation.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Ew, gross. You said toggle.}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|If we want to compete for today's values-driven workforce…}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Smithers, learn to read the room, will you? Now, quickly, to the basement! I've got just the thing to solve our financial problems.}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Burns Head to the Basement|6 seconds|the [[Cooling Towers]], [[Control Building]], or a {{TOG|Home Visitable|Visitable Home}}}}<br>{{Task/Optional|Make Smithers Learn to Read the Room|6 seconds|the [[Cooling Towers]], [[Control Building]], or a {{TOG|Home Visitable|Visitable Home}}|char=[[Smithers]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|The [[Alternate Universe Computer]]? But sir, it hasn't been tested!}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|We're going back to the golden days, before things had to be tested.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|What decade should we pick? I suppose you'd opt for the Gay Nineties!}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon}}
{{TB|It just meant "lively" or "high-spirited" then, sir.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|I knew that. I didn't know you knew.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Diabolical}}
{{TB|We might as well go straight to the Great Depression of the 1930s, when people were at their most desperate for work.}}
