Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update
	It finally happened. Our team is good enough to fly across the country for.
	What about last year when we won the championship?
	That was a fluke. Now that we're good again this season, it means we're actually good.
	Yeah, last year came out of nowhere. It was like when Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016.
	We don't get your soccer references, Carl.
	Sorry.
	We will begin the boarding process for Flight 196 to Boston shortly, starting with our Group One first-class passengers.
	Come on Carl, Group One — that's us.
	Yeah, let's hit the fancy airport lounge before boarding starts!
	What?! YOU guys are Group One?! FIRST CLASS?!
	Carl and I got upgraded.
	But they only do that for newlyweds on their honeymoons and flight attendants on their off days!
	Well, this time they did it 'cause we bought our tickets with points.
	Points? That's it? I've got tons of those on my driver's license.
	No. Platinum Praetorian points.
	holding out thick metal credit card We just got our credit cards in the mail — you get crazy benefits when you book flights.
	But I want crazy benefits...
	Can't without the points.
	Fine...
Task: "Make Travelers Bump Into a Sad, Lonely Homer" (x3). The jobs take place at Springfield Airport, Terminal, The First Class Lounge, or a Brown House and take 6 seconds. If Lenny is owned: Task: "Make Lenny Drink Free Platinum Duff". The job takes place at Springfield Airport, Terminal, The First Class Lounge, or a Brown House and takes 6 seconds. If Carl is owned: Task: "Make Carl Get a Neck Massage". The job takes place at Springfield Airport, Terminal, The First Class Lounge, or a Brown House and takes 6 seconds. Task: "Make Homer Squeeze Into His Economy Middle Seat". The job takes place at Springfield Airport, Terminal, The First Class Lounge, or a Brown House and takes 6 seconds.
	That was the worst trip ever! Stuck in stupid economy, while you guys got to experience all the travel perks known to man.
	Look, Homer, I'll just send you my referral code, and you can apply for your own platinum card. That way you'll get a nice point bonus in time for your next trip.
	Carl just wants you to do that so he can get even more points for himself. Use my code instead!
	No way! I brought up the referral code thing first!
	I don't care about which code — send me both! Because I'm going straight home and getting myself a fancy Praetorian card!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
	Hi Dad, how was your trip?
	No time! Must apply for credit card! typing
	DENIED.
	STOP APPLYING.
	EVERY DENIAL IS FURTHER LOWERING YOUR CREDIT SCORE.
	I guess I have to just keep applying... typing
	APPROVED.
	Woohoo!
	JUST KIDDING — DENIED. ALSO, PLEASE STOP.
	How come Lenny and Carl can get approved for fancy cards, and I can't?! We have the same job, and we even go to the same bar!
	Well, it does make some sense. Lenny and Carl don't have mortgages, they don't have kids, and they probably don't throw all their "past-due" bills in the garbage.
	Stupid kids! Ruining my financial health!
	Dad, have you ever sat down and actually taken a look at your credit report?
	No, I pay "Credit Nirvana" $29.99 a month to take a look for me.
	Well, after we see what's on there, maybe we can fix things. typing
Task: "Make Homer Give Lisa His Credit Nirvana Password". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. Task: "Make Lisa Log Into Homer's Credit Nirvana Account". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Laugh at Homer's Password". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
	Voila! Here's your credit report, Dad.
	AAAAH!
	Yeah, this is pretty unfixable.
	Why do you have a Banana Republic credit card?
	I don't know. All I wanted to do was walk in and buy a pair of pants! It's all I ever wanted...
	Wait, it says on the report that your spouse has a Platinum Praetorian Card and you're listed as an "Authorized User"!
	What?! Marge, do we have a Platinum Praetorian Card?!
	Of course, it's how we're able to afford and book all of our "Simpsons Go To" vacations.
	Our what?
	You know, all the trips we go on: Brazil, Australia, Costa Rica, England, Tokyo, Italy, France, Ireland...
	Woo-hoo! That means we must have millions of travel points by now!
	Kids, where do you want to go to next? Because we're all flying first-class and getting free neck massages at the airport lounge!
	Ooh! We should go on an ecological tour of the Galápagos!
	Fiji! No — the Bahamas! No — whatever the island Fortnite is based on!
	Homer, I am not going to waste all of our points on first class tickets to some random island. I book our trips using a very specific and cost-effective system of well-timed deals and promos.
	Okay, then where does your air quotes "system" think we should go?
	typing Hmm, my system is only giving me two choices that we can currently afford...
	praying Please be somewhere awesome. Please be somewhere awesome...
	Our choices are...a Crypto Cruise around a floating server farm in the North Sea...
	Sounds like a scam.
	Or...a three day stay at Mt. Splashmore Water Park & Resort.
	Water park! Water park! Water park!
	But Mt. Splashmore is right outside Springfield — which means we wouldn't get to fly first-class or get free airport neck massages...
	Water park! Water park! Water park!
	Fine, I'll get my swimsuit...
