Folk and Mirrors is an event-exclusive questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the Mirror Mayhem content update.

After completing Spring Cleaning
	What's so special about this mirror? It looks like a piece of old junk.
	Let's just say it has a storied past.
	Uh-oh. Sounds like you're going to tell a story.
	It all began in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" in those days because the Kaiser had outlawed the word "twenty" and the punishment was snickety days in jail...

	That's enough. I'm gonna smash this mirror to bits so we can skip to the end. raises crowbar
	No, don't go near it!
	What the—? My reflection looks weird in this thing...
	I look much more realistic than normal. Which is weird because normally I don't look realistic!
Quest reward: 100 and 10 Magic Mirror

After completing Pt. 1
	Hey Homer, how's it hangin'?
	Uhh, did my reflection just talk? Or was it just a result of all that beer I had for breakfast.
	Mmm, breakfast beer... Let's go to Moe's! My treat.
	Don't listen to him, Homer. Don't invite him into our world!
	I'm sorry, Dad. You've probably given me the first piece of good advice of either of our lifetimes, but I think you should wait outside.
	You'd jeopardize the safety of our world for a free beer?
	That's what I'm trying to decide! Off you go!

	Okay, I've made my decision. Come on back in.
	Did you tell that mirror guy to take a hike?
	Don't worry. I think we can forget all about him. You, especially.
	That's a relief. You avoided a real pickle there, son.
	Here's a beer to go with that pickle, Homer.
	What the—?! But you said not to worry.
	Yes, I did. And then he said...
	Free beer!
Quest reward: 100 and 10 Mirrored Bowlarama

After completing Pt. 2
	You're not gonna hurt us, are you Mirror Homer?
	No, but I'd kill for another beer.
	Me too! C'mon, let's go to Moe's for his two-for-one special.
	Moe has a two-for-one special in your world?
	He will when he sees us.

	Tell me, Mirror Me, what's the life of a safety inspector like in your world?
	It's the best. I work long hours and have an insignificant role at our company. It really gives me a sense of power.
	Just like me. I get my sense of power when I pull the lever that sets off the alarm that sends everyone into the parking lot.
	You have a lever that does that?
	You don't?
	No. I have a button.
Quest reward: 100 and 10 1

After completing Pt. 3
	Who's your new friend, Homer?
	This is my mirror self. I think I'll call him Mirror Homer.
	Very subtle.
	Howdy fellas. Next round's on me.
	You're the best, mirror man!
	I wish I had a mirror self.
	But then I wouldn't be your best friend!
	Yeah, what a tragedy that would be.

After completing Pt. 4
	Hey, that gives me an idea...
	That Lenny is Carl's codependent?
	No. Well yes. But also, wouldn't everyone want a mirror friend?
	I see where you're going with this.

	Attention, Springfield. Are you feeling lonely? Do you need companionship? How would you like to buy yourself a friend?
	Homer, I'm only gonna tell you this once; streetwalking is illegal.
	He's talking about me, Chief.
	It's illegal for you, too.
	No, Chief. We can make a mirror version of anyone, so they have a new best friend.
	Just like Homer and me!
	You mean I could make a mirror version of myself and we could both ridicule the Chief?
	Oh no, if anyone's getting a version it's gonna be me. I'm tired of doing my own exercising.
