Dialogue

Pt. 1

Between June 16, 2023 and July 12, 2023 Citizens of Springfield, thanks to little Lisa Simpson and er…bigger Professor Frink, I have closed one of the loopholes that the city elites have long exploited. Starting today, commercial establishments will now pay property taxes equivalent to those paid by private citizens. This being retroactive to ten years ago. The increased revenue will afford our city a new, publicly funded golf course — Springfield Municipal Golf Course, that is open to all. Elites be damned! I'm so proud of you, Lisa! I'm sure this won't come back to blow up in my face. Task: "Collect Golf Balls" (x115). Task: "Make Springfielders Go to the Municipal Golf Course" (x10). The jobs take place at Springfield Municipal Golf Course, Golf Courses, or a Visitable Home and take 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Fret About Inevitable Disaster". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Quimby Wait for Angry Calls". The job takes place at the Town Hall and takes 4 hours. There you are, Joseph. Mother? You decided to annoy me in person? That's what mothers are for. Now what is this stunt all about? This stunt is more of a scheme. It would certainly be a shame if the country club suddenly owed millions in back taxes and were driven completely out of business. That WOULD be a shame. Naturally, if one of their members happened to be an influential politician, I'm sure this entire mess could have been avoided. *knocking on the door* I was asked to evaluate the new law for the Springfield Glen Country Club, and it appears they are now on the hook for millions in back taxes. They would like to let you know that they have decided to allow members of the public to play on their course, with only one exception. What exception would that be? No one currently holding an elected position within the city of Springfield is allowed a membership position…Mr. elected Mayor. So it's hardball, eh? I can play that. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Golf Tee Box

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 The new municipal course is great. Not too fancy. It's perfect for weekend duffers like us. Yeah, it's nice. I might even become a weekday duffer. Only problem — the driving range is pointed right at the Springfield Glen clubhouse. I think I hit a couple rich guys this morning. Sorta makes golfin' fun. And the greens fees at the Muni are so cheap, it's gotta be killing the fancy club's memberships. Along with the balls from the driving range taking some out too. *laughs* Say where's Homer? He usually likes to laugh along with us jerks. You think he's found new jerks to laugh with? Nah. We're the best jerks around. Task: "Collect Golf Balls" (x115). If any Barflies are owned: Task: "Make Barflies Discuss the Courses" (x3). The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Moe is owned: Task: "Make Moe Wonder Where Homer Is". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Wander In At Exactly That Moment". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Homer, there you are! You play golf, right? I'm an avid golfer…if playing a round every ten years is avid. So, have you played at either of the two courses that are now in Springfield? No. With all the hurricanes, earthquakes, and global this-or-that, I'm through being out in nature…unless it's eating al fresco. And even then I'll take my "fresco" inside on the couch. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Sand Bunker

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 You won't get my tee time, Aristotle! Then you won't get your hounds back, Montgomery! Sirs, keep your voices down inside of the clubhouse… I will when Montgomery does! Very well! Smithers, adjust my angry outside voice to angry inside! Sir, I'll need a screwdriver, pliers, and a crescent wrench. Task: "Collect Golf Balls" (x100). If Mr. Burns is owned: Task: "Make Burns Glare at Amadopolis". The job takes place at Springfield Glen Country Club, Golf Courses, the Town Hall, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.

If Squeaky Voice Teen is owned: Task: "Make the Squeaky Voice Teen Update His Resume Again". The job takes place at Springfield Glen Country Club, Golf Courses, the Town Hall, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. There. Inside voice. Now what is it you want, Aristotle? It's quite simple. I want your tee time all to myself. It'll never happen. It's been my tee time for five decades, and it'll be my tee time for another five after I die. Which I don't ever plan on doing! How about you and I make a little wager then, Montgomery? Oh dear. Wagers never work out for Mr. Burns. In his last one, he lost Hell to Beelzebub. Quest reward: 100 and 10 1

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 We'll have ourselves a round of golf. Winner gets the tee time all to themselves. Loser gives up their club membership and never shows their face here again. I'm all in— Sir, I urge you to reconsider. Smithers, you've seen my golf game, you know there's not a soul who can beat me. I possess the art of the cheat. …yes, but do you trust that Mr. Amadopolis doesn't have an underhanded plot as well? Hmm, you may be right. I'll get to the bottom of this…with more cheating! Task: "Collect Golf Balls" (x130). If Mr. Burns is owned: Task: "Make Burns Consider His Opponent". The job takes place at Springfield Glen Country Club, Golf Courses, the Town Hall, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Aristotle Amadopolis is owned: Task: "Make Amadopolis Smile Smugly". The job takes place at Springfield Glen Country Club, Golf Courses, the Town Hall, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Smithers is owned: Task: "Make Smithers Become Increasingly Worried". The job takes place at Springfield Glen Country Club, Golf Courses, the Town Hall, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Aristotle! I'm assuming we play by the rules of Archbishop Hamilton's St. Andrews Charter of 1552? I was more thinking a best ball tournament. You and your partner versus myself and a partner of my choosing. Don't worry. I'm not planning to bring in a ringer. Fine. I accept your terms. Brilliant! I'll see you here next week at MY tee time, and it will be settled then! Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Golfin Dolphin

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 All right, Smithers. I need a golf partner. Time for you to work on your game. But I've never picked up a golf club in my life! And last week, one of the hounds bit me. I'm currently in the midst of a series of painful rabies shots. It's always about you, isn't it? As much as I'd love to be your partner, I'm afraid you'll have to find someone else. Well, then I'll leave it up to you to find a replacement. Task: "Collect Golf Balls" (x165). If Smithers is owned: Task: "Make Smithers Find Someone to Blame the Loss On". The job takes place at the Cooling Towers and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Work a Plant Shift". The job takes place at the Cooling Towers and takes 4 hours. You there! Simpson! *snoring* Wake up! Huh-whaaa…? Smithers! I was just…doing my job…with my eyes closed. I'm THAT good. Nevermind. Do you still have your golf clubs? Oh, uh…yeah, I think so? Good. Meet me outside Mr. Burns' office after you finish work today. Will do. *snoring again* Quest reward: 200 and 20 Golfing Homer
