Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Dr. Hibbert's exclamation mark Hey, Dad. I came to visit you. How’s the Retirement Castle treating you? How do you think, you big dummy? I hate it. It’s depressing, the food is bad, and I don’t know if you know this, but old people smell weird. Oh, you don’t say. I never noticed. Of course you don’t. Cuz you’re a dang fool. You were born a fool, and you’re gonna die a fool. And you’re just gonna fool it up all the days in between. Task: "Make Dr. Hibbert Clench His Teeth And Be Nice to His Dad". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle and takes 4 hours. Dad, I’m a well-respected doctor. The best one in town. The town of Springfield. That’s like being the smartest guy at an ATV dealership. You still a dummy! Alright I’ve had enough! You need to drop this whole “dummy” thing! What “dummy” thing, dummy? You saw one episode of Sanford and Son forty years ago, and you’ve been doing this angry old man bit ever since. You’re a total rip off of Redd Foxx! Redd who? Redd Foxx! One of the biggest Black comedians of all time! Never heard of him. If you don’t think that you’re ripping him off, then you’re the dummy. Goodbye, Dad! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

If Lucius Sweet is owned: After tapping on Lucius Sweet's exclamation mark If Lucius Sweet is not owned: After completing Pt. 1 Mr. Hibbert Sr. What brings you to the gym, old friend? Hey, Lucius. I just wanted to ask you a question. Do you think I’m a derivative rip-off of Redd Foxx? What? Heavens, no! That’s an absurdity of the grandest scale! You’re as original a character as myself, or Drederick, here. Yes. Super original. Hmmm. Task: "Make Hibbert’s Father Realize Something He Never Noticed Before". The job takes place at Lugash's Gym, All Night Gym, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Wait a minute. You two are rip-off’s also. Just like me! I am completely unsure to what you are referring to. Your baseless accusation is as big and crazy as my very original hair style. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Hibbert's Father's exclamation mark I can’t believe… Could it be? Have I been the… the big dummy… this whole time? Excuse me, sir. Are you okay? You seem to be having a senior moment of some sort, talking incoherently, with the hoyvik and the glayvin, and the surplus of ellipseeees. I’m sorry. I’m just coming to terms with the idea that I’m not an original character. And my friends weren’t either. Good glayviiiiiinnn, what a startling realization. With the dawning, and the reckoning, and the eyes going wiiiiide. *Eyes go wide with dawning recognition* Task: "Make Hibbert’s Father Remember Who Frink Reminds Him Of". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Oh God. You’re one of them too! Your whole look and vocal ticks! It’s just a total rip-off of that nerd in the old movie. What was it called? The Legume-like Professor? The Nutty Adjunct? Please! Stop guessing! I can’t afford to get sued. Unoriginal characters! They’re all over this town! Wolfcastle is the Exterminator! Mayor Quimby is a Kennedy! Homer Simpson used to sound like Walter Matthau! What are you talking about? Take off those glasses and talk different, you! C’mere! Police! Police! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

If Professor Frink is owned: After tapping on Professor Frink's exclamation mark If Professor Frink is not owned: After completing Pt. 3 Oh thank Glayvin you’ve arrived, officers. This man is accosting me. Accusing me of being some sort of imposter. He is! The whole town’s full of them. They’re just lazy rip-offs! Rip-off’s, eh? Sounds like this fella’s off his rocker, see. You’re supposed to be Edward G. Robinson! The gangster from the movies. But I’m not a gangster, pal. I’m a copper. N’yeaahh! Ahhhhhhh!!!! Task: "Make Wiggum Help the Cops Calm Down Hibbert's Father". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Whew. Thank you for calming me down, officer. I don’t know what went through me. That dang fool son of mine put a crazy idea in my head. The big dummy! Happy to help, sir. Now, while you’re calming down, I’m going to finish my crossword puzzle. Hey Lou, I need two more words. Cellist BLANK-Yo Ma, and Entourage star BLANK Grenier. Uh, Yo, and Adrian. Can you say that again, Lou? I couldn’t hear you! YO ADRIAN! AHHHHH!!! The black cop talks like Sylvester Stallone for some reason! I’m losing my mind, ahahahahaha!!!! He knows too much. Get the stun gun, Lou. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Dr. Hibbert's exclamation mark Thank you so much for bringing my father home, officers. I’ll take good care of him. Make sure you do. We can’t have him running up and down the street accusing people of being unoriginal. He’s not a licensed TV critic, after all. You’re right. Come on in, Dad. Let’s make you some hot cocoa and go to bed. Task: "Make A Shaken Hibbert's Father Come In". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle and takes 4 hours. I’m sorry, I was so mad about you calling me a big dummy, that I lashed out and got you all confused. You’re no rip-off. You’re my dad and I love you. I love you too, son. Y’know, I may not be sure if I’m some rip-off or not, but one thing's clear. You’re a one-of-a-kind original. Uh, yes. One hundred percent. I’m not based on anyone disturbing at all. *chuckles* Quest reward: 200 and 20
