Dialogue[edit]

After starting the update
	Now, to start the school year off with a bang, our Springfield Elementary Orchestra will play Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5. Allegro con brio".
	More like "allegro con boring"!
	...
	That joke fell flat, Bart.
	Yeah, that was like a reverse "haw-haw"! A "wah-wah", if you will.
	Come on, it's the first day back at school. It takes some time to get back into rhythm.
	And to conduct this classical piece, our very own, Mr. Largo.
	Ok, kids... and a-one, and a-two...
	"BAH-BAH-BUM...." Classic.
	Hey, not too shabby for a bunch of dorkestra nerds.
	conducting noises
	Is Mr. Largo falling asleep or is he just lost in the music?
	Zzzzzzzzzzz...
	He IS asleep!
	The Music Wizard is making spells with his wand!
	And his baton is moving all over the place!
	His erratic conducting is modulating the tempo at the speed of Liszt!
	snoring
	He's playing in the key of Zzzz!
	Wait, Largo's not the only one asleep — ALL the teachers are!
	snoring
	snoring
	snoring
	Why in God's name are all the teachers asleep?! SKINNER!
If Dewey Largo is owned: Task: "Make Dewey Largo Wake Up". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 6 seconds. If Ralph is owned: Task: "Make Ralph Stick Random Objects in His Mouth". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 6 seconds. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Tell Another Joke". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 6 seconds.
	Why does your entire faculty look like they've been working nights at the coal mine?!
	I can assure you that only two people have part-time jobs at the coal mine.
	It's only the first day of school and these teachers are practically sedated! What kind of sick operation are you running here, Skinner?!
	I don't know the answer to that question but believe me when I say: I will personally get to the bottom of this.
	I don't believe you — but I do believe him. Tell me what's really going on, Willie.
	The toupée-wearin' Principal's been workin' the teachers all summer! And now they're sleepin' harder than a Highlander after a midnight sheep toss.
	I should have never brought you along for moral support.
	Willie only supports two things: his entire family in Scotland and Aberdeen FC!
	The teachers have been working all summer? On what?!
	Not ALL summer! It was just a weeklong seminar preparing the faculty for the potential onslaught of students using AI to do all their homework and write all their essays.
	That'd be enough to put me to sleep and kill my summer. Fantastic work, Skinner. You single-handedly ruined the only positive aspect of being a teacher: a three-month break.
	I was only trying to prepare us for this new age of artificial intelligence.
	I don't think this school has to worry about ANY kind of intelligence.
	He also made us all paint the school.
	But that's what teachers do in the summer.
	Skinner, I'm very disappointed in your school's performance today, but I'm going to come back next week. If you don't put on a performance that wows me: guillotine noise
	Chalmers, it'll be the best show Springfield Elementary has ever put on!
	Don't raise my expectations, Skinner. If you were smart, you'd know that you should always lower your boss' expectations so that you can then wildly exceed them.
	Okay, it'll be the worst show Springfield Elementary has ever put on!
Quest reward: 100 and 10
