{{TB|Skinny Palmer? Marbles Le Marquez? What are you doing here at my house?}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|You're looking slick, Downbeat.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Ugh, can we rethink my jazz name? I really think I'm more fitting of a name like—}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|Nope. Jazz names don't change. You're Downbeat for life.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|{{*}}sigh{{*}} Okay…Downbeat it is.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|Cheer up, Downbeat. Is Tic Tock around?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Bart! Your jazz friends want you to come out and play!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|What's up, Daddy-Os?}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|Tic Tock, the Skinny Palmer Trio is at a crossroads. We've never drawn crowds like when we had Tic Tock Simpson tappin' the rat-a-tats and the clickety-clacks.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|Don't forget the skibbity-scats.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|You see? We're off our game. I even forgot the skibbity-scats. Though more specifically we are out of what I like to call jazz fuel.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Thinking}}
{{TB|Mary Jane?}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, money!}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I'm picking up shifts disinfecting shoes at the Bowlarama, and let me tell you that place is a jazz funeral — but less fun.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Smug}}
{{TB|Hmm, it's gonna be tough to fit you guys into my schedule, but being famous was pretty awesome…}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Please, Bart.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Okay, I'll rejoin the band. On one condition, I get to decide where we go to lunch.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|You only ever want Krusty Burger…and I'm a vegetarian.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Rolling Eyes}}

{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|So, I know how Lisa and I got our jazz names, but what about you guys?}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, me? They call me "Skinny" because my metabolism is faster than "Jeep's Blues" played double-time on the jump.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|Alright, I'm gonna assume that's fast because I don't want to look it up. What about you, Marbles?}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I would prefer not to say.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|He accidentally thought a marble was a grape and the rest is history.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|That's why my teeth look like this.}}

{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Ugh, guys I'm trying, but ever since I got carpal tunnel playing "[[Conflict of Enemies]]", I haven't been able to drum the same.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, you'll be fine — carpal tunnel is no big deal.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I played for sixty-three hours straight. Now my arm is blue and stiff enough to crack walnuts. {{*}}cracks a walnut{{*}}}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|Well what about surgery? How much would it cost to fix it?}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|They don't take insurance for videogame-related injuries, so the surgery's $78,000.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|I guess we'll just have to do a benefit concert.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|A benefit concert?! Outta sight!}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|{{*}}down low{{*}} In the pocket!}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No! Guys, stop. Enough with the benefit concerts. We already did that, remember? And I gave all the money to Lisa.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|So what do we do?}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|It sounds too easy, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to just ask her…}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Tic Tock Simpson Ask Lisa for the Money|60 minutes|the [[Simpson House]] or a [[Brown House]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|Bart, there is no more money. The bridge has been repaired and I spent the extra on making it do that thing where it lifts up to let boats pass.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Whoa, I love when bridges do that!}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|I never thought you'd actually use the money to save the bridge. I thought you were going to just put it toward your college fund.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Eye Roll}}
{{TB|$50,000 tuition to go to college online? No thanks.}}

{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Sorry, guys. I talked to Downbeat, but she already spent the money.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Man, that girl is always bringin' us down.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon}}
{{TB|But it's okay, because look at this ad I just discovered in the newspaper.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|Bionic prosthetics?}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|And they're free as long as you agree to take part in their medical study and sign a two hundred and sixteen page waiver of liability!}}
{{Tapped Out Skinny Palmer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Tic Tock, you'll get your arm back and you'll end up being an even better drummer.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Never before have I loved a plan as much as this one!}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|Well, besides the time we tricked Milhouse into putting his finger in that pencil sharpener.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|And I didn't even get to get a cool bionic finger out of it.}}

{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|And Bart, that's where we'll make a deep incision and attach the bionic arm to the nerve cluster.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Cool! Can I get a laser on it? Or an attachment that shoots out ninja stars?!}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|{{*}}chuckles{{*}} All in due time, Bart. I just need a signature on this form from one of your parents.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Okay, signed.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|Where'd you come from?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, I was just stopping by. Artery got clogged again so they did one of those routine open-heart oil changes on me.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|None of that was routine.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Well, good luck with the robo-arm. I'm off to get my routine bucket of chicken and barrel of beer.}}

{{TB|Yeah, you ripped out my car door and nearly killed my cat when you petted him.}}
{{Tapped Out Tic Tock Simpson Icon}}
{{TB|Let's see how this Terminator arm does on the hi-hat.}}
{{Tapped Out Marbles Le Marquez Icon}}
{{TB|Real quick though, could you open this jar of pickles for me? These lil' baby dills been callin' my name, but the jar just won't give.}}
