Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark You said it was an emergency, sir? I ran all the way here. At least until I passed out and an ambulance took me the rest of the way. I, er, need you to take care of someone for me, Wiggum. Don't you usually go to the mob when you need someone taken care of? Not that kind of taken care of! I just need you to sweep something under the rug. Don't you usually go to the janitor when you need something swept under the rug? No, you idiot! A copy of the town's financial records went missing and now someone is blogging about them. Since this is time-sensitive and your skills as a detective leave ah... much to be desired, I'll let you use my copy of NSA's new 'Super Snooper' software. Sure thing Mayor, I'll get right on it! Task: "Make Chief Wiggum Procrastinate". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 12 hours. This spying software is great! It's like a video game except everything is in real time and I can't use donuts to speed it up. ... Do something, you boring productive members of society! ... That's it, you have three seconds to do something interesting or I'll shoot! Three! Two! *BANG* Oops, I fired early. Also, I shouldn't have fired at all. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark Lou, is shooting a computer under warranty? We don't have any warranties. You told me to use that money to buy police cut-off shorts. And you've never looked better, Lou. If you need to use a computer, why don't you head down to the Java Server. They have free Wi-Fi, as well as free refills, freeloaders, and free Tibet merchandise. Great idea, Eddie. When Christmas bonus time comes around, expect an extra pair of cut-offs. Task: "Make Chief Wiggum Use free Wi-Fi at the Java Server". The job takes place at The Java Server and takes 3 hours. All-you-can-drink pumpkin spice lattes? I should have shot my computer sooner! Wait a minute, Super Snooper says that the blogger's been posting from this very cafe. Time to get up and do some good old-fashioned detective work. Eh, I'll just scoot my chair over. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark Finally I've found a form of activism that doesn't require participating in 5K's – blogging! And all this publishing of Springfield's shameful misuse of public funds has actually made me lose a little finger weight. I can't wait to buy new gloves! Now time to become my sexy Guy Fawkes alter ego and tear down the government. What scandal should I scan in today? How about the Mayor's private jet with the name 'Mayor Force Fun'. Two puns in one name?! Shameless! Task: "Make Comic Book Guy Become a Slacktivist". The job takes place at The Java Server and takes 30 minutes. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Chief Wiggum's exclamation mark Freeze, fatty! You're under arrest. You can't arrest me if you can't catch me. But you didn't go anywhere... You and I both know how embarrassing that chase would be. Task: "Make Chief Wiggum Bust Budget Blogger". The job takes place at the Police Station, requires Comic Book Guy, and takes 10 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark Alright, whistleblower. You're under arrest for theft of government property, espionage, and murder. But if you confess to the first two, we'll drop the murder charge. I own all the Law and Order action figures, so I know I have the right to a fair and speedy trial with a jury of my peers. "Fair and speedy trial?" There's no way that's a thing. "Speedy" is a funny made-up word, not a law word. Actually Chief, it's right here in the rulebook. We got to give him a trial. You don't say! Huh, I've got a lot of families to apologize to. Task: "Reach Level 38 And Build Court House". It takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark I'm here to make you a deal. Instead of going to court, you give my son your first edition Radioactive Man comic and we'll wipe this whole business under the rug. Paper tastes better when it has super heroes on it. I'd rather go on a hunger strike... and that means something coming from a man my size! Speaking of hunger, it's been an hour since I last ate. Can I have a Krusty burger? Krusty burgers are for law abiding citizens. And due to a recent sponsorship, last meal recipients. Then take me to the courthouse! At least they have a cafeteria. Task: "Make Comic Book Guy Attend Court Hearing". The job takes place at the Court House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Chief Wiggum Attend Court Hearing". The job takes place at the Court House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Judge Snyder Preside Over a Court Session". The job takes place at the Court House and takes 4 hours. After the jobs have started Mr. Jefferey Albertson. How do you plead to the charges put before this court? Not guilty! Of course you do. Everyone does. Why do I even bother asking. I think I might be bad at my job. After the tasks are complete. Thanks to budget cuts and my waning attention span, we go straight from plea to verdict! And the court finds the defendant NOT-GUILTY. Sorry, slip of the tongue, I mean GUILTY. Man, I really AM bad at my job. The mandatory punishment for this crime is SHAME! I sentence you to a week confined to a pillory in front of town hall. But I belittle kids for a living. Kids with free afternoons and access to overly ripe tomatoes! Due to your girth and wrist size, we'll have to order a new extra large pillory from "Take a Chill Pill-ory." Unfortunately, because of our over strained budgets, and the fact that such a store has never existed in the show, we don't currently have such a store. So you're free to go. The irony. The same bureaucracy I was fighting to stop, saved me from humiliation and embarrassment. Thank you, misappropriated funds! On an unrelated note, the courthouse cafeteria is closed until further notice. Worst...Victory...Ever... Quest reward: 100 and 10
