Dialogue

Pt. 1

After completing Rolling in It Mr. Burns, I believe I've got the perfect project to spend your money on. Oh, too late, little girl – I've already found a project of my own. Do you know those science fair projects where children build a paper-mache volcano? You're investing in children's science fairs? Let me start again. You know that song that goes "Ain't No Mountain High Enough..."? Environmental activism? A center for the performing arts? I'm building a mountain out of money. Maybe I should have just come out and said it from the start. So instead of using your vast wealth to improve society or invest in our future, you're just going to... pile it? Now you've got it! And I was worried you wouldn't understand. Task: "Make Lisa Sulk". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 60 minutes. Task: "Place Mr. Burns's Money Mountain". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Hmm, this is a little disappointing. Truth be told, my mountain looks more like a mole hill. Excellent wordplay, sir. Don't be a yes man, Smithers. I don't need another yes man on the payroll. Do you understand? ...no? Imbecile! I need to figure out what my mountain of money is missing. Ah, of course. The money! Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 10,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 Bah! Look at that pitiful piling! Calling that a mountain is like calling any music made after 1790 music. Well, the manual indicates that there are eleven levels of upgrades available for your money mountain. Coming in at a staggering-to-most-but-not-to-you-sir total cost of $5,500,000. $5,500,000?! Just think of all the poor people you could feed with that money! Little girl, you could have a career in comedy. Assuming you grow up to be a man and Jewish. Also, I'm one of the richest men in the world. Why is a little girl always in my office? Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 15,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Kent Brockman, reporting live from what many have dubbed Mount Money, others Mt. Money. Which I'm now being told is an abbreviation for the word mountain. More on that at 11. Are we actually live? No, that's just something reporters say. Although I wouldn't take my word for it. I'm a pretty shoddy reporter. I've just been told that we are indeed live. So, Mr. Burns, why pile money? Why not? Asked and answered. Did you ever consider doing something else with your money, like investing in real estate? I figured I would cut out the middleman. Why use money to buy real estate when money can be real estate? Makes sense to this reporter. If you'll excuse me, it's time to contribute the contents of my piggy bank to this noble endeavor. Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 25,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Mr. Burns, I vould like to secure ze film rights to your money mountain. Intriguing. I've never been one to trust the followers of Edison but I hear moving pictures are an up and coming industry. What would this talkie be called? This Mountain Is Made of Money and I Have a Gun. It's a prequel to This Ocean Is Made of Quarters and I Have a Harpoon Gun. Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 50,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6

After completing Pt. 5 Mr. Burns, I just learned of your, er, unique construction project. And I'm here to collect the city's landmark fee. My money mountain is its own jurisdiction. It even has its own zip code -- $$$$$. In that case, there is an out-of-jurisdiction landmark fee. To be paid to the nearest jurisdiction that has no legal authority to collect fees from your landmark. How do you sleep at night? Same way you do, on a pile of money. Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 100,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7

After completing Pt. 6 I'm sorry to bother you Mr. Burns, but I can't but help notice all the money you've added to the money mountain. It's starting to look quite majestic, isn't it? Yes, but the thing is... it's been quite a while since I got a raise. Three years ago to be exact. I know because it was the day before that giant meltdown I caused. I mean... did not prevent. Well, I ... er... was hoping maybe I could maybe have one now? Do I look like I'm made of money?! No. But that money mountain of yours is. Maybe I could just take a few spare bills from the money eagle's nest? If I let you do that, where would I point to when making a joke about nest eggs? Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 300,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8

After completing Pt. 7 Mr. Burns, I've come here to humbly request you tear down this false idol before you invoke the wrath of an angry, righteous God. Not even your puny God can stop me! This mountain will block out the sun! That sounds strangely familiar. I know a story of another soaring tribute to man's hubris. One that God tore asunder. The Shelbyville Aquarium. Mankind was never meant to walk below water. Just walk through it while parted, and maybe walk on it. Well I have something every aquarium in this nation lacks -- MONEY! Perhaps you could donate just a little of it to the church. It'd be nice to replace those hymnals with something a little less pro-apartheid. I think instead I'll just build a church of my own on top of Mt. Money. A wealthier church that worships at the altar of Monty Burns! In that case... are you looking for a minister? I come with or without a family. Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 500,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9

After completing Pt. 8 Smithers, hand me another sack with a dollar sign on it. This mountain's still not tall enough. Sir, we're running dangerously low. On both sacks and the money within them. I suppose I can launder the sacks, but the money is a more serious problem. Mt. Money has pushed you into the red. The power plant is in shambles, and the employees haven't been paid in weeks! We were paying them?! Rolling blackouts are affecting the whole town. Your hoarding of currency has sent the stock market into a tailspin. And no one's been home to feed your chinchilla for weeks! We were feeding him?! Sir, you're becoming obsessed. Was Howard Hughes obsessed? Was Ahab obsessed? Was John Hinckley obsessed? ...yes? What did I tell you about being a yes man? Get out of my sight! Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 750,000 Money". Task: "Make Smithers Wander Aimlessly". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 10

After completing Pt. 9 Mr. Burns, you've got to stop. Not just for the town, but for yourself. How can I stop when I'm so close!?! Have you heard the story of Icarus? No, but I'll pay you 20 bucks to not tell it to me. Deal. Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 1,250,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 11

After completing Pt. 10 Hey hey! This mountain has more dead presidents on it than Mt. Rushmore! What you need is a living celebrity's face on it to make it stand out. May I humbly suggest my own? I'm conducting a neighborhood survey. What hours of the night would you say you sleep the heaviest? Template:Tapped Out Moleman Icon This doesn't look like the hospital. Can you fix my blood? Stop, stop, all of you stop! I refuse to be distracted when I'm so close! One last dump truck of money is all I need! Task: "Make Mr. Burns Spend 2,500,000 Money". Quest reward: 100 and 10
