During the Winter 2015 event, the quest required Level 15 to start.

Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark: *suck* *suck* Oh, you want to go for a walk with Mommy? That's one job I'd love to do! Wait, I'm sure I've seen you carrying her around town before. That was just a sack of flour. And all those Mommy & Me classes? Also the flour. I needed to get out of the house. It's not easy taking care of a bag of flour twenty-four hours a day. Task: "Make Marge Take Maggie for a Walk". The job takes 8 hours. It's so much nicer carrying a real baby than a flour baby. Finally I can show you off to all the gluten-free moms! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark *suck* *suck* Again? Sweetie, we just finished a walk five minutes ago. *suck* *suck* If I wanted a job that took eight hours a day, I'd get one that paid. Just kidding. Who's ever heard of a "working mother"? Task: "Make Marge Take Maggie for a Quick Walk". The job takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark *suck* *suck* Ugh, Maggie -- I simply can't go on another walk with you. Maybe if there was a stroller in this game, or at least a Baby Bjorn. How about I get your Daddy to walk you instead? Sorry, I'm already busy watching Maggie. She's holding my beer and showing me this really interesting recipe for cookies. That's the bag of flour! Task: "Make Homer Spit Take". The job takes 6 seconds. You tricked me, Flour Maggie. You'll rue this day… or should I say roux this day! Hahahaha! That's-a funny-a one-a! Finally a joke-a for me, Luigi! Glad you liked it. I said it, but I don't get it. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Mom, maybe you should enroll Maggie in daycare. Outsourcing our responsibilities as human beings is an American tradition. Let my kids be raised by someone else? Wouldn't that be acknowledging my failure as a mother? Can someone drive me down to the police station? Wiggum left the lens cap on when he took my mug shot last week. Then again, trying something new with parenting isn't always a bad idea. Task: "Make Marge Research Daycare". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Task: "Build the Police Station". Task: "Make Homer Take Bart to Retake His Mug Shot". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours. I had no idea how important daycare is for babies. Did you know that babies that don't attend daycare are 100% less likely to form memories in daycare? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark I didn't want to enroll Maggie in a daycare where all they do is paint, clap their hands and listen to music. But then I found out about preschools, where children learn to paint, clap their hands and listen to music. But isn't preschool just the same thing as daycare? No sweetie, they have different names -- one which sounds like we're good parents, and one which sounds like we're lazy. But they do the same things! The only difference is that daycare is a little bit cheaper. Cheaper, eh? Task: "Make Marge Apply to Preschools". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Homer Apply to Daycares". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark Maggie was too young for any of the schools I applied to. There's a bunch of elementary schools in this town, even a high school, but nothing for pre-K. We did get into the Stonecutter's Daycare, but that was a limited-time building from a long time ago. Almost no one's got it. There's only one thing to do. We need to build something new. Got it. I'll build the fire department -- you get the basket! That's not what I meant. Task: "Build Ayn Rand School for Tots". It takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I'm sorry, but we can't accept your daughter Maggie. We received your application too late. Too late?! This place just came into existence! If you loved your child, you'd have found a way around that. As it is now, our wait list is several years long. So I needed to apply when I was pregnant? No, you needed to apply when you first signed up for ReadyToSettle.com. This is stupid! And I know stupid -- I'm the guy who blew up this town in the first place! Are you threatening to let that happen again if I don't let Maggie into our school? I wasn't. Should I? No, we would never kowtow to the threat of violence. We do however kowtow to the threat of stupidity. The only way we can ensure someone with as dangerously inept a parent as yourself doesn't become dangerously inept herself is to educate her. Task: "Make Homer Mention Blowing up the Town". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Maggie Start at Preschool". The job takes place at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and takes 8 hours. Wow. My stupidity scares people into giving me what I want? I'm just like President Bush! Bush isn't president anymore. He's not?! Is he king now? Maggie can start today! Please, Mr. Simpson, just don't go to work. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark The IRS finally found out that I faked my own death, so I've got to call in all your bar tabs. Hey Moe, remember that time I blew up the town? No need to go crazy, Homer. I'll just make up a fake dependent I never see because my fake ex-wife got custody. How about Hazel? I've always wanted to lose custody of a Hazel. Task: "Make Homer Mention Blowing up the Town". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Moe Tear Up Homer's Bar Tab". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Sir, you can't park there. Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I blew up the town? Yarrr, we have a quota of five hundred shrimp per all-you-can-eat session. Blew Up The Town. There is no possible way we can name a holiday after you! B.U.T.T. If Squeaky Voice Teen is owned: Task: "Make Squeaky Voice Teen Reroute Parade". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 8 hours.

Pt. 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Mr. Burns! I demand a raise… as well as paid time off for Homerka, Rosh Homershana, and Simpsom Kipur. Keep in mind that I'm that guy who blew up the town, and that will make you say yes to me for some reason. No, you’re the man who THINKS he blew up the town. The truth is you had nothing to do with it. Task: "Make Homer Do 10-Hour Spit Take". The job takes 10 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 11

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark I distinctly remember destroying the town. There's even a video of it you can watch in the front of the store menu. Pish. You were at your workstation… or should I say "doesn't work"-station. I had it disabled years ago, on the recommendation of every other safety inspector at the plant. What you've been working on is nothing more than a child's toy with spinny wheels and lights that blink when you push the big button. Oh!!! So THAT'S how you get the lights to blink. Task: "Make Homer Play at His Workstation". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Maggie Teach Homer How It Works". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 8 hours. Sing together, A, B, C... You're the head of plant safety... Quest reward: 100 and 10
