{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Yeah, I didn't notice that before in the sunlight.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|Hey, I recognize that green glow. That's the same color as the stuff that we pump out of the reactor at work.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|That's it! The heat. The glow. Oh, this is terrible!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Sure is. I hate being reminded of work.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|No, we can't.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Lis, this is America and we can do anything on or with our property we want to. Even run around naked on it like Johnny Appleseed!}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Eye Roll}}
{{TB|I keep telling you that's not what he did!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Dad, this isn't just a little bit of toxic waste, this is a toxic Superfund site!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Super fun? You're overselling it, Lis. I mean, it's okay I guess.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, a Superfund site! It's seriously toxic which means it's illegal for us to sell it.}}

{{TB|Sweetie, is there anything we can do about this?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Not really. We're legally obligated to report it and then we'll be on the hook for cleanup.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Well…we don't have to report it if no one else ever knows, right?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|What?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|I mean…it's just us, here! If we don't tell anyone, who will know?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Smug}}
{{TB|I won't tell anyone as long as you make it worth my while.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Remind me to strangle you later.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shouting}}
{{TB|Dad, we have to do something. Think of Mother Earth!}}

{{TB|Oh no, this might be about that note I left in the suggestion box.}}

{{TB|Why did I sign it?!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Actually, it looks like Mr. Burns is dressed for hunting.}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Let's go find out!}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|But we have to approach carefully from behind. We don't want them mistaking us for a bunch of mooses.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|The proper term is a "gang" of moose.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|Grampa agreed to that?!}}
{{Tapped Out Hunter Mr. Burns Icon}}
