Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark Jean-Pierre, the circus is dying. I need your very best at tonight's performance if we're to turn things around. But I have lost the will to tumble and cavort. Without zese, the acrobat is meaningless. Granted, sure, but wouldn't it be lovely to see this circus returned to its former glory? Glory is meaningless. A valid point. But I really, REALLY want to pack the audience full of Springfielders. So get out there and sell some tickets! I cannot do this. 'Twould be humiliating to one such as I. Ah but one could argue, perhaps, that your pride is meaningless? Your logic, she is airtight. And very French. I will sell for you. Task: "Make Circus Acrobat Wheel and Deal Around Town". The job takes 4 hours. Well done, Jean-Pierre! You've sold five tickets. I found ze humiliation very instructive. I am made greater by my suffering. Of course. Say, I know a local family that numbers five. You didn't sell those tickets to... the Simpsons, perchance? Why? Is zere something special about ze Simpsons? Oh, no no no no no. I have no special plans for the Simpsons. Or their spirited son... Bart. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark Jean-Pierre! What's happened to your act?! You can't just sit in a chair and smoke clove cigarettes! I am not ze dancing bear, to perform for money. That's EXACTLY what you are! Just... just swing on the trapeze a little! The trapeze is in ill repair. I could plummet to my death. So?! I thought you said life was meaningless?! You are wonderful at turning my intellectual posing against me. Very well. I trapeze. Task: "Make Circus Acrobat Fail at the Trapeze". The job takes place at the Cirque De Puree and takes 4 hours. How am I still alive? The rope, she break. And I fall. Only to discover ze net is made of zilly ztring and does nothing. An unfortunate trained seal broke your fall. At any rate, the crowd loved it! Word of your exploits is certain to reach the Simpsons, and they will bring Bart to me. You realize when you say the name "Bart Simpson", your eyes, zey, how you say, "bug out" a bit. Yes, well, never mind that. Perfectly sane of me. Let's focus on putting you in even more peril tomorrow night! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark I am not qualified to tame ze lions! Nonsense, nothing to it. You and the lions will get along famously, provided you show not an ounce of fear. Zere-in lies the problem. Zhough I long for ze oblivion of death, I am, at the same time, a humongous coward. *gives a big push* In you go! Task: "Make Circus Acrobat Run From Lions". The job takes place at the Cirque De Puree and takes 8 hours. It is true what zhey say about being mauled by lions: "ouch". It was lucky I had these band aids for you, or that might have been serious. Tell me something: why is it so important to you to lure Bart Simpson to ze circus? So that I can kill him, of course! You wish to kill a child? Bart is HARDLY a child. He's ten. Well within legal killing age. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark What did zhis Bart Simpson ever do to you? Plenty. For starters, he never lets me kill him. VERY frustrating... Okaaaayyy.... But what did he do to deserve death in ze first place? Well, he... uh, that is... funny, I can't really remember... I'm sure it will come to me. Keep working on your act. Time is short, and our cause is a noble one! Task: "Make Circus Acrobat Practice Death Defying Feats". The job takes 12 hours. I have decided -- I will not use my circus skills to aid in Bart Simpson's murder. Perhaps you will agree to use them if I point this gun at you? Sir, if you are asking me to choose my life over zhat of an innocent child, the answer is an enthusiastic yes! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark He's here! Bart Simpson is in the audience! At last, my fingers will close 'round his neck and choke the very life from-- Murder, she will not bring you ze happiness, friend. "Friend"? If you don't mind, I'd prefer to keep our relationship on a purely homicidal maniac/helpless pawn footing. I would have hoped for more, but under ze circumstances, I will take what I can get. I thank you. Truly. Have a great show. Have a great murder. Task: "Make Circus Acrobat Perform at the Circus". The job takes place at the Cirque De Puree and takes 24 hours. Bart Simpson is gone! Just as I was to reach up from beneath his bleacher seat, the entire family left! Oui, monsieur. You forgot ze first rule of the circus: ze circus is dull, and anyone with half a brain walks out right quick. I think zhey had some alternate quests to complete, anyway. It is a busy month around here. When?! When will I have my revenge! As soon as TV audiences consider it a funny story for a grown man to kill a little boy, zhen you will have your revenge. Oh. So any day now! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The quest name would translate from French to "Big Top I Don't Know What".
