Smack to the Future is an event-exclusive questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the SciFi content update.

Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking - Curious There's something strange about this wormhole from another dimension.
Wiggum How so?
Stephen Hawking - Curious Robots are emerging at a rate of ten thousand kilotonnes per hour. But the mass of the remote universes is only decreasing at a rate of one microgram per century!
Homer - Angry This is America, sir! I'll kindly remind you not to use the metric system unless you want your face punched off.
Stephen Hawking Let's examine the robot guts more closely. Hey Sky Finger! Play with your funbots!
Task: "Tap a Robot".
Lisa - Confused What are those things popping out between the microprocessor and the steam valve?
Stephen Hawking They're chronons! The quantum of time!
Professor Frink Of course, that explains everything! I'm assuming.
Stephen Hawking - Intense Don't you see? The robots aren't coming from another space. They're coming from another time!
Evil Homer - Devious Crafty!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking Based on the polarization and general demeanor of the chronons, I deduce that these robots are invading from the future.
Lisa - Smug Aha! Then we've just got to wait until the robots are built, then stop them before they come!
Stephen Hawking Exactly. But that might not be for hours, or even centuries.
Professor Frink B'hoy! Let's use donuts to speed up time!
Stephen Hawking - Annoyed In what universe does that make even the slightest bit of sense?
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Slingshot Chronons Into the Black Hole". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Lisa Wait for the Robots to be Built". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Alternate Homers Plunder the Multiverse" (x5). The jobs take place at the PolyVac and take 4 hours.
Message While these Alternate Homers are visiting your Springfield, keep sending them to Plunder the Future!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking - Intense Bart? Have you been shooting chronons at the black hole?
Bart Probably. I shoot a lot of stuff at a lot of things.
Stephen Hawking - Happy This is incredible! You've opened up a gateway to the future. We need to send a scouting party through, to ascertain what fate awaits us.
Stephen Hawking Professor Frink, you're not helping much around here. Lead this ragtag band of Homers on a journey of scientific exploration.
Homer - Happy With a side order of plundering!
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Chair-Butt Frink Into the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
If Professor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Frink Get Chair-Butted Into the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Alternate Homers Plunder The Future" (x5). The jobs take place at the PolyVac and take 4 hours.
Homer - Sleepy And... we're back.
Stephen Hawking Did you locate the future source of the robot army?
Homer No, we totally forgot about that. But we sure plundered everything that wasn't nailed down!
King-Size Homer They nail things down in the future because stuff tends to hover.
Lisa - Alarmed Wait, where's Professor Frink? He didn't come back!
Stephen Hawking - Deadpan He must have become stuck somewhere in the distant future. Act 3, most likely.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Marge - Scared I hate to nag, but I'm still being stabbed by robots from the future. Ow! Does anyone have a tourniquet?
Stephen Hawking - Curious Hmm. Maybe we can turn this time tunnel to our advantage.
Stephen Hawking - Happy I'll use the parts from the smashed evil robots to build GOOD robots. Then I'll send them into the future to stop the evil robots before they travel to the past!
Lisa Hooray! We will have been saved!
Stephen Hawking I'll just bolt these robot scraps together, like so, then program in the three laws of robotics.
Ned - Shocked Heavens to heckaroonie, that won't work! If you want goodness, the program you need is "GOTO 10."
Ned The Ten Commandments, that is!
Task: "Make Ned Teach the Old Testament to New Robots". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking There, I've got all three laws of robotics programmed in.
Ned Hold your horsies! I'm still sermonizing about the Ten Commandments, plus I threw in a couple extras about not coveting thy neighbor's premium items.
Stephen Hawking - Annoyed What is wrong with you people? You're prattling on while I'm trying to save your lives and your universe!
Ned ...and thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Barney's Bowlarama, and... done. Okily dokily, now you can save us.
Stephen Hawking - Annoyed The illogic of the human race never ceases to enrage me. Now gather up some chronons to propel these robots to the future!
Task: "Gather Chronons by Tapping Robots" (x5).
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking The good robots are fully functional and ready to enter the time hole.
Herman Hold on there, citizen. The evil robot militia is heavily armed with top quality pikes and daggers. And one's packing a trident.
Marge - Scream Ow! Ow! Ow!
Herman Yeah, that guy. If we want our good, patriotic robots to stand a fighting chance, we've got to arm them with exactly identical weaponry.
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Arm the Good Robots with Weapons". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Stephen Hawking If nobody has any further objections, I'll be saving the universe now.
Rev. Lovejoy Hurry, hurry! After one final prayer.
Rev. Lovejoy Oh mighty Sky Finger, cradle these robot souls in the loving bosom of your fingertip.
Stephen Hawking Now?
Rev. Lovejoy Amen.
Stephen Hawking Now?
Rev. Lovejoy - Annoyed Hurry up!
Stephen Hawking - Intense Robots! Into the time breach!
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Send Good Robots to the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Task: "Make Evil Homer Scheme". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
Marge - Scared It didn't work! In fact, there are even more evil robots now! And they're equally well armed! Ow ow ow!
Herman Was that the trident?
Marge - Serious No, just three ordinary javelins.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 8[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark
Lisa - Confused Why didn't your plan work, Professor?
Stephen Hawking It appears there was a polarity error in my computation of the chronon spin matrix.
Barbarian Homer Blarrrgh?
Stephen Hawking - Sad My army of good robots didn't go to the future... they went to the past!
Comic Book Guy - Annoyed Uh, hello? That makes no sense. If they went to the past, we would have seen them come out.
Lisa - Worried We did see them come out! The robots we just sent into the time hole WERE the robots that attacked us in the past!
Ned - Worried But the robots we built were good, God-fearing robots! What would make them turn evil?
Comic Book Guy There's only one logical answer. Somebody must have sabotaged their programming. But who?
Task: "Make Evil Homer's Eyes Dart Side-to-Side Suspciously". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 9[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
Homer - Shocked Oh my God, I know who did it! It had to be Evil Homer! He's been scheming and scheming!
Homer - Serious Plus his eyes were darting suspiciously, and he's got the word "EVIL" right there in his name!
Evil Homer - Surprised What, I? How preposterous. Admittedly, I've been scheming... but about something completely unrelated, and yet to be revealed.
Homer - Confused Then who did it?
Lisa - Curious Hang on... there was someone else trying to control the robots with ten, count them, TEN commandments!
Lisa - Shouting It was Ned Flanders! He must have converted the robots into religious zealots, programmed to punish the sins of humanity!
Ned - Sad Gosh, I guess it WAS me. Well, forgive and forget, right? I believe that's in the Bible. Right after "an eye for an eye."
Task: "Make Ned Hide From an Angry Mob". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 10[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
Rev. Lovejoy - Annoyed Kill Ned! He used love and prayer to turn the robots into murder machines!
Strongman Homer I still say it was Evil Homer!
Rev. Lovejoy - Surprised Kill someone! Anyone!
Stephen Hawking - Annoyed Stop it! It wasn't Ned, and it wasn't Evil Homer.
Stephen Hawking - Sad It was... me!
Marge - Surprised *gasp* Why, Professor? Why did you send evil robots to attack us in the past?
Stephen Hawking - Deadpan Why not?
Comic Book Guy Checkmate.
Stephen Hawking - Annoyed You people drove me insane! Everything you do and say is totally anti-science. My sympathy lies with the reasonable, rational killbots.
Robot And we like Professor Hawking, because he doesn't have a weird human accent.
Homer - Angry You won't get away with this, Hawking! Save us, mighty Sky Finger! Smash the robots!
Stephen Hawking Go ahead! I'll just use the pieces to make even more robots! That's why they'll never stop coming!
Comic Book Guy - Annoyed Curses. Unlike most time travel stories, this one has no logical flaws whatsoever. We are defeated.
