Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Dad? What have you been up to lately? Well, I certainly haven't been helping a madman brainwash the world, if that's what you're insinuating. Hmm, the townspeople have been acting very strange lately. This looks like a job for Lisa Simpson, Meddling Kid! Task: "Make Lisa Look for Clues". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. This is interesting: some sort of... stone. Its edges are straight as if it had been... cut. And there's something etched onto the surface. I've seen this symbol before, but where? Lisa? You know you're talking to yourself, right? Yes, I'm figuring out a mystery! Oh, that's fine then. The doctor says as long as you KNOW there's no one there, you're still considered normal. ... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark I need to find out more about this symbol. This calls for a trip to the library. And while I'm there, I'll see if they got that new translation of War and Peace. I mean, a girl's got to have some fun! Task: "Reach Level 12 and Build the Springfield Library". Task: "Make Lisa Research the Symbol". The job takes place at Springfield Library and takes 24 hours. Strange. This symbol pops up at turning points in American History. Here it is at a pilgrim settlement. Here it is at the Battle Of Gettysburg. Here it is when that Real Housewife, Nene, got cast on an actual TV show and-- *gasp* Dad?! What are you doing in the library?! Uh... I'm certainly not reading this giant book about witchcraft and Masonic Lodges! I'll just put this back on the bottom shelf... Dad! When you bend over, your pants slide down and the whole library can see your butt cr-- OH MY GOD! Your birthmark! It's the symbol! I call it my Stonecutter mark. The Stonecutters! Of course! Now I just have to figure out-- Dad, please! Pull your pants up and your shirt down. Aw, you sound just like your mother. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Bart, I need you to break into the Stonecutter Lodge. It's illegal and Mom and Dad can't know about it. You had me at "it's illegal." Great. We'll do it after Mom and Dad fall asleep. You're coming? This better not be one of those things that's supposed to make us "bond" as brother and sister. No! I swear this is just about committing a crime! Although, I can't guarantee that I won't feel closer to you after it's all done. If you do, keep it to yourself. Task: "Reach Level 12 and Build Bart's Treehouse". Task: "Make Bart Steal Stonecutter Documents". The job takes place at the Stonecutter Lodge and takes 12 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Steal Stonecutter Documents". The job takes place at the Stonecutter Lodge and takes 12 hours. Good, we've photographed all their secret files. Let's get out of here. Right after I finish this sandwich... No! That's just stealing! We're not going to—Ooh, is that Portobello mushrooms and hummus? Well, seeing as how we've already broken and entered... Gimme that! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Okay, we've completed our little caper, now comes the fun part: Reading through the documents and analyzing the data! Yes. That does sound fun. I'll read in my room. With the sound of a very loud video game to cover the noise of all my, you know, analyzing. Task: "Make Lisa Deduce the Stonecutter Plot". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Task: "Make Bart "Help" Lisa". The job takes the Simpson House. Bart! I've figured it out. Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening. Well, while you were playing videogames, Number 1 was working on a new law that gives control of Springfield to The Stonecutters! Holy cats! We saved the town! High-five, Sister! Dang! We are so good at figuring out crap! WE? All you did was shoot Nerf darts at my door and sent me videos of yourself farting. I'm taking the credit for this one! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Original

The ending dialogue was altered for the re-release of the questline in the Stonecutters Black Market Sale content update. The original dialogue is as follows:

Bart! I've figured it out. The leader of The Stonecutters is keeping all the people of Springfield distracted with inane tasks! Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening -- I was Paintballing in the Brown House. Well, while you and everyone else are pre-occupied, Number 1 is going to pass a law that gives control of Springfield to The Stonecutters! Holy cats! We saved the town! High-five, Sister! Dang! We are so good at figuring out crap! WE? All you did was shoot Nerf darts at my door and sent me videos of yourself farting. I'm taking the credit for this one!

Pt. 5

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark I'll show Lisa she can't take all the credit just 'cause she did all the work. Hey, Number 1! I'm the son of a Stonecutter. Doesn't that automatically make me a Stonecutter, too? Listen, little boy, the rules have become somewhat fluid since the dawning of the magic purple crayon. And soon, I alone will decide who is "automatically" anything. Not after my sister tells the town about your stupid law-changing plan! She knows about that? Find out what else your sister knows. After all, you are automatically one of us, right, Lil Stonecutter? Task: "Make Bart Spy on Lisa". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark Number 1, Lisa is planning a big rally! She's made a bunch of Anti-Stonecutters signs! Pfft. A semi-satanic lodge with absolute power can't be taken down by hand-drawn signs! They're not hand-drawn. She printed them on her computer and glued them to really sturdy cardboard. Oh. Okay, those you're going to have to destroy. They sound like they would really "pop." I don't know. That seems kind of mean. Come now, Bart, have you any idea the benefits of powerful friends? You could trade in Milhouse for a sidekick who is every bit as subservient but less asthmatic and not afraid of birds. It's like you overheard my birthday wish. Task: "Make Bart Sabotage Lisa's Plan". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Bart! What are you doing? Why are you throwing paint-filled water-balloons at my signs? I didn't enjoy doing this, Lisa... Well, the ones I threw from the roof did look pretty cool when they exploded. But I had to betray you in order to achieve a higher goal... Betraying Milhouse. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark I did what you wanted. Now give me my Stonecutter outfit and new sidekick. Yes, yes, you'll receive all membership materials when you turn 21 and are able to actually be in the lodge. No fair! It'll take forever just to turn 11. I'm never going to turn 21! A lodge is no place for a child. We serve alcohol and occasionally our servers dance out of their blouses. Fine. I'll see myself out. Through your secret archives! That's the long way out, but suit yourself. Task: "Make Bart Plot Revenge on Stonecutters". The job takes place at Springfield Library and takes 23 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark What do you want, Bart? Are you here to paint-balloon my saxophone? I'm here to apologize. And to give you information to help you take down The Stonecutters. I'm not sure I accept your apology. But I will accept your information. What'cha got? Task: "Make Bart Share Plans with Lisa". The job takes place at Bart's Treehouse and takes 24 hours. The Stonecutters don't allow women and children to join... ...so all we have to do is get women and children to vote against the Stonecutter law! That's brilliant! I was going to say we build an "adult-man-killing"-robot. But your idea sounds less messy... and more possible. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Unfortunately, there aren't many women and children in Springfield since the explosion. And most of them are Premium characters. No worries. We have plenty of disguises. All the women and kids can vote a bunch of times! That's one of those ideas that is so stupid it just might work. I get those a lot! Task: "Reach Level 20 and Build the Town Hall". Task: "Make Women and Children Vote Against Stonecutter Law". The jobs take place at the Town Hall and take 8 hours. The proposition has failed by a landslide! What?! But then all our plans have been thwarted!!!! We have underestimated the political influence of child-sized pirates and the bearded women who wipe their faces. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Characters that can do the task are Regular Females, Premium Females, and Youngsters.

Pt. 10

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark We managed to keep those power-hungry wolves at bay. But how can we remain vigilant when we're constantly distracted by texts, celebrity nip slips and electronic candy? Message Perhaps, for a few minutes a day, you should take a break from your devices. Just to make sure you're not being controlled by a secret organization. Please ignore the previous message. Everything is fine. Never stop playing. Here are some donuts to squelch any doubt. Quest reward: 20
