	Your brother has a huge bounty on his head. I'm here to bring him in.
	But he's your friend.
	Bounties before buddies. Awesome, futuristic arm cannons don't pay for themselves.
	Okay, but Future Bart is still MY future brother, so promise me that you won't hurt him.
	No problem. I'll switch my arm cannon to super-taser.
	Quick question...do people from this time die if they get hit with ten thousand volts of electricity?
	That sounds like it would kill anyone on the planet.
	Nuts. And here I thought visiting the past would be cool.

	Nelson? You became a police officer?
	No way! I'd never become a cop...although most bullies usually grow up to become just that.
	I work for Bail Bond Jumpers Recovery Services.
	Well, recover this! disappears
	Simpson? Where'd you go? Dang, he gave me the slip.
	Next time shoot first and do introductions later.
Quest reward: 100 and 10 Drone Pack

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
	How did your bounty hunt go? Is my future brother safe?
	Turns out catching Future Bart is a lousy job. I need to bring some back-up from the future.
	I'm not sure it's a good idea to keep transporting people back from the future.
	Transporting from the future.
	...
	Ooh, the past! Donuts were so much cheaper back now!
	Oh man! Why do I have to go wherever the Chief goes?
	Cool! These guys are incompetent, but...machine, bring back my bounty hunter partner.

	That's the tire fire. You'll get used to it.
	I'm here to take some names and bust some frames.
	I'm not a fan of violence, and you don't belong here.
	And that's Lisa Simpson. You'll get used to "it" too.

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2
	Nelson, I've searched this town and it seems that everyone has a past version of themselves. Where's mine?
	Can you dumb it down for me? I know I said I graduated from college, but what I meant was elementary school. And I didn't graduate from that.
	Well, if you're "Future Nelson", wouldn't that make me "Future Rott"?
	You're blowing my mind here.
	There's something else I'm blowing — a monster away on your six! Taking him out with my taser!
	Owww! falls unconscious
	Nailed him! The bounty on this one is gonna be big!
	That's not a monster. That's Homer Simpson. He's the father of our bounty.

	Your invisibility cloak is no match for my heat-seeking taser! tases Future Bart
	As the fat man says: "D'oh!"
	Nice work, Rott!
	I love the smell of bounty in the morning.
	Yeah, it masks the stench of the tire fire you commented on earlier.

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3
	With Future Bart now in custody, we can finally get back to our timeline.
	How exactly do we do that?
	Umm...noogie that AI machine?
	It only responds to questions. Allow me...
	Machine, is Buzz Cola a refreshing beverage to drink after playing sports?
	I knew you were in on the Buzz Cola payroll.
	Scientists need grants!
	I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Please ask your question again.

Pt. 5[edit]

	You idiots! Bringing Future Sideshow Bob here is exactly the thing I was trying to prevent this whole time.
	Oh poor Bart, your feelings ARE hurt. Now they'll match the rest of your body...when I kill you here and in every other timeline you come from!
	Whoa, this guy's mean streak runs deep.
	Rott, we can't let him kill Future Bart!
