Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting Act 3 The casino district is a triumph. Everywhere people are enjoying entertainment, spectacle, and games that aren't even that fun because they win so often. I never guessed this town could get worse. Of course, I always never-guess that and I'm always wrong. Yes, my little Vice-ville has become a veritable Sin Suburb. It's time to host an awards ceremony at my casino. I will produce the awards, judge them, and present the awards... to me, for my civic kindness. And maybe I'll give one to you, Smithers... "Best Assistant." I don't really want it. Good, because I'm giving it to me. Task: "Make Burns Host an Awards Ceremony at Casino". The job takes place at Burns' Casino and takes 12 hours.

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark So, Lis, made any progress figuring out why Burns would create a money-losing casino? No. Apu was about to tell me when he got shot. The only word he managed to say was "power." They'll get the bullet out of his brain, right? Oh yeah, he's getting great medical care. In India, where it's better and cheaper. In the meantime, he can't write or speak. All he can say is "Thank you, come again." That's nice. Even without a brain, he'll always have a career at Kwik-E-Mart. For his sake, I won't rest until I've solved the mystery of Burns' casino. His sacrifice of getting shot by Jailbird in a gift shop hold-up will not be in vain. Task: "Make Lisa Hold a Candle-Light Vigil". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark All this gambling got me depressed, Marge. I barely had the energy to apply mustache pomade this morning. Used to be the highlight of my day. Now, who cares if the 'stache droops? Don't worry, Ned, I'm making great progress on starting Gamblers Anonymous. I came up with a 10 step program – 12 seemed a little pretentious... I'm knitting recovery chips. All I need to do now is find a space where we can meet. It's hard to find. This town is jammed with twelve step recovery programs. Lotta messed up people here. Lotta. Someone should start a Freemium Phone Game Anonymous. That they definitely shouldn't. Task: "Make Marge Search for a Meeting Space". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark Lisa, where have you been all day? Down at city hall scouring old records. Trying to solve the mystery behind Mr. Burns building a money-losing casino? Yeah. Although mostly I just like scouring old records. Well, we're both trying to solve the same problem. You by intense detective work, me by baking "Gambler's Anonymous" cookies.

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark What happened to our electricity? My misting humidifier is pumping out nothing! The casino district is sucking up too much juice. The bright lights, the air conditioning, those giant fans you pretend you're skydiving over... The nuclear plant can't handle the load. Electricity... Electrical power... Power!

He'll make a fortune selling power from the nuclear plant. So all this gambling and sin is just another way for him to get rich. It's diabolical! How is it diabolical? He's making money giving people what they want. He's exploiting their weaknesses. Why do you get to decide what's right for them? Bart!

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark These power fluctuations have got to stop! The illumination in my lighted standup Aquaman is varying unbearably. TThe air conditioning in the school keeps going off. Sweaty children are not learning children. We shall shut down that awful casino to save our beloved schools. No! Shut down the schools to save our beloved casino. Don't worry, I'm almost ready to start Gamblers Anonymous. I just have to design a logo. I was thinking "G.A." written on a playing card.

Pt. 12[edit]

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark I hope you're happy, Smithers. I've hired all the plant employees back. And it's costing me a fortune! I had to double their wages and pay overtime. It's worse than that, sir. They also insisted on a premium health plan. I guess it's true what they say. The wages of sin is health. Well, I can't keep losing money like this. I'm getting out of the casino business. Let's go home. It won't be so bad. I found my issue of Bathing Beauties 1925. Whew, I'm glad that's over. Actually having to do work at work was a nightmare.
