Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Young Burns' exclamation mark My name is Charles Montgomery Burns. I was born in the year 1881, 1890, or 1392, depending on which Wikipedia page you believe. As a youth I cared little for material wealth, seeing as it hadn't been invented yet. But then, one foggy day in 1883, 1892, or 1394... Ahoy there, Grandson! I bring word of a wondrous new type of wealth. Material wealth! I want in. Task: "Make Young Burns Turn Bad Early". The job takes place at Colonel Burns Mansion and takes 60 minutes. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Young Burns' exclamation mark I soon hatched upon a scheme that would make me a millionaire by the age of six. I drew up plans for an ingenious device known as the "Youthenizer", and threatened young Tommy Edison with a rusty knife until he agreed to invent it for me. Once complete, I filled the youthenizing reservoir with a dram of the vigorous blood circulating through my young veins. Now, all that remained was to wait until I was a rich old man, desperate to be young again, and sell the Youthenizer to myself for a fortune! But I was impatient! So I went to a bank and took out a tremendous loan, using the future proceeds of the Youthenizer sale as collateral. Suddenly I was rich – rich beyond most people's wildest dreams! But well within mine. The next year, as soon as ice cream was invented, I rushed out to celebrate. Task: "Make Young Burns Eat Ice Cream and Dodge Taxes". The job takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Young Burns' exclamation mark Even after I was rich, I wasn't one to sit around twiddling my groins. So I spoke once more with Thomas Edison, again at knifepoint, and he told me electricity was the new thing! Thereupon I invested in coal power, hydro power, girl power, and finally, nuclear power... ...secretly running the plant myself until I was old enough to actually run it myself. Ah yes, I remember it well. No, wait, I remember it poorly. But it makes sense. I grew very old and very rich. Then, in desperation, I bought the Youthenizer from myself, paying a sum vastly higher than I'd dared imagine as a lad. It was enough to pay off the loan and turn a tremendous profit to boot! Excellent. Task: "Make Young Burns Secretly Run Power Plant". The job takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Behind the Laughter

The quest name is a reference to the song "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps, specifically the line "burn baby burn", and the season 8 episode "Burns, Baby Burns".
