{{TB|Your rapacious grasping is inspiring, but to truly master the Ladder to Loot, you have to push others down as you pull yourself up.}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon|Excited}}
{{TB|So wise. Where do I begin, Monty Miyagi?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Start with your own employees. You know what they say -- cruelty begins at home!}}

{{TB|Fear is the aspiring loot-o-crat's greatest tool. For example, spreading a rumor that you're going to downsize will motivate employees to both work harder and accept lower pay!}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|I like the ring of that rung, Monty! How'd you get to be so street?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Diabolical}}
{{TB|I'm a Springfield O.G. – octogenarian grouch.}}

=== Pt. 2 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|The next rung is to realize that ruthlessness never rests. There are opportunities for malevolence in every situation… including a lovely dinner out with a friend.}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|What are you thinking, Monty? Should we stiff them on the tip? Run out on the check? Both?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Excellent ideas, Jay. You're zooming up the ladder. And for an extra larf, we can harass the staff before we stiff them!}}

{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|The waiter quit, the hostess cried, and the busboy tried to drown himself in his dish bucket -- I'd call that a successful evening!}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|To tell the truth, I felt a little bit sorry when the hostess started to cry, because I knew that sooner or later she was going to stop!}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Mocking your victims' suffering -- you've mastered another rung!}}

{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|It's important not to lose sight of the basics -- ruthlessness should be fun! If you're not having a good time at someone else's expense, you're doing it wrong!}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|How do you keep the evil popping when you're just hanging on the corner?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|A degrading jape is never more than a dollar away. Watch me manipulate the greed of someone less fortunate!}}

{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|There -- right in the natural sight line of the broken down sidewalk-starer.}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon|Excited}}
{{TB|Here comes a sucker now. It looks like he's wearing Will Loman's hand-me-downs.}}
{{Tapped Out Gil Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|A dollar! Holy moly -- this is the break I've been waiting for! Things are gonna turn around now!}}
{{Tapped Out Gil Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Ah, the old sidewalk-stickeroo. Should've known. Third time this week!}}

{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon}}
{{TB|Guiding you up these ruthless rungs has really tuckered me out. I barely have the strength to tent my fingers!}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|Let's go chill at my crib. You can rebuild your energy by terrorizing my staff.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Diabolical}}
{{TB|That sounds delightful. I'm really more of a tormentor than a mentor anyway.}}

{{TB|Congratulations, Jay! You've reached the top rung of the Ladder to Loot! You're like the son I never had -- and far better than the son I did have but never see.}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|And you're like the father I never muscled out of his own record label and then framed for bank robbery.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Diabolical}}
{{TB|And now we must destroy each other.}}
{{Tapped Out Jay G Icon}}
{{TB|I wouldn't have it any other way.}}
