{{TB|Many residents have found themselves unable to leave their homes as the snow has completely covered their doors and windows.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Brockman}}
{{TB|Those residents who are wealthy enough to afford such extravagances as a second floor may still be able to leave their homes, but that might involve crawling out a window.}}

{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|So, if you hadn't drunk any Duff for the last 32 years, we'd have at least $175,000 more than we currently do.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Horrified}}
{{TB|What?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Eye Roll}}
{{TB|Yes. Since Moe charges you about $5 a Duff, and you drink about three a day…}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|No, not the money! It's that you think I've been going to Moe's for 32 years. How old do you think I am?}}

{{TB|It's exactly what it sounds like. The snowstorm has grounded you.}}
{{Tapped Out Santa Claus Icon|Thinking}}
{{TB|But we live in the North Pole!}}
{{Tapped Out Happy Little Elf Leopold Icon}}
{{TB|Actually, ever since you moved to Springfield for the 2014 Christmas Event, you technically live here AND the North Pole.}}

{{TB|People of Springfield! This is Mayor Quimby, coming to you from City Hall.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Quimby}}
{{TB|Like you, I am appalled at the lack of planning from Santa Claus, leading to the cancellation of presents this year.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Quimby}}
{{TB|But I must urge you to stop rioting in your own homes, as this will not solve anything.}}

{{TB|I know everyone is feeling down because the storm is cancelling everything, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a great Christmas!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Marge, I love you, but unless you bought a closet full of Duff before McGrew ruined beer forever, I doubt even your positive attitude can save this holiday.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Come on, Dad. Christmas isn't just about beer. It's about family, and spending time with the ones you love!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Lisa, it's time you learned one of the great lessons about life.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|Mr. McGrew, I'm confused. These are amazing gifts, but why did you buy up all the buildings in Springfield?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, Aunt Rita. You've been hitting the sherry a bit too hard this year, haven't you? {{*}}chuckles{{*}}}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Lisa, why don't you help Mr. McGrew crawl out the window in the attic? The snow hasn't covered that yet, and I don't think anyone wants him to be stuck here overnight.}}

{{TB|Thank you, Lisa.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|Wait, you know who I am?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Of course. You're Lisa Simpson, one of the brightest minds in Springfield. And you always seem to end up right in the middle of any disaster or plot development.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|I don't understand. You planned all this?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon}}
{{TB|Of course. I bought up all the businesses in Springfield to ensure they'd survive the storm.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon}}
{{TB|I've got more money than I know what to do with, so it's the least I can do. A cash infusion here and there to keep their businesses afloat while customers are snowed out.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Curious}}
{{TB|And when the storm passes?}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon}}
{{TB|The former owners will find the deed to their store back in their possession. It's not my goal to run the place, far too much work.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|This seems too good to be true.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I learned my lesson when the Spirits visited me all those moons ago. This is just my attempt to pass that lesson along.}}

{{TB|Well…thank you, Mr. McGrew.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Don't mention it!}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon}}
{{TB|Seriously. Don't mention it. Watching people react to me like I'm a blind, senile old coot is my greatest amusement these days.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. McGrew Icon|Serious}}
{{TB|And an excellent legal defense to all the criminal mayhem I commit.}}
