Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Maxwell Flinch's exclamation mark
	All right. What's the catastrophe du jour in the land of capes and speech bubbles?
	Catastrophe? Oh, just a so-called collector who dared to treat a limited edition, first printing, from my sanctum sanctorum as if it were a mere pamphlet or bootleg Archie!
	Break down exactly what this, I'm going to assume middle-aged unmarried man, did.
	He de-sleeved it with his grubby mitts, and then after RUINING IT, had the audacity to demand a full refund!
	Ok, so what's the problem? I imagine you said "no" and that was that, correct?
	WRONGO! He casually mentioned the law firm he has on retainer and proceeded to threaten to sue me for fraud if I didn't bow to his nonsensical refund demands!
	This is like being in the clutches of Darkseid himself, forced to betray the Justice League or face the wrath of the Anti-Life Equation.
	Worst. Predicament. Ever.
	Ok, calm down. So, he opened the protective sleeve. Did he also read it by the light of a supernova, or maybe use it as a coaster for his cosmic latte?
	Are you getting glib with me, sir? Opening the sleeve of a rare comic is akin to pouring a bottle of BBQ sauce spill on the Shroud of Turin. It's DESECRATION!
	Right. Let me put it in simpler terms. Did he inflict damage of a kind that could actually be considered damage?
	Must I explain the sacred bond between a collector's item and its sleeve? It's more inviolable than Aquaman's vow not to eat sushi!
	Ok, ok, I understand. I'm just trying to poke holes in your argument, which they will surely do to you.
	under his breath I wish Daredevil was a real lawyer...
	What'd you say?
	Nothing.
Task: "Make Maxwell Flinch Wonder if This is Worth It". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon, Coolsville, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Comic Book Guy is owned: Task: "Make Comic Book Guy Continue Ranting". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon, Coolsville, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
	All right, I think I have what I need. Just so you are aware, however, my legal fees will start accumulating faster than back issues of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' in your basement. Knowing this, would you like to proceed?
	Well, uh, regarding your fees, have you considered a rare, mint-condition, still-in-the-package form of payment?
	No, I cannot accept action figures, comic books, or any signed photos of Stan Lee in lieu of payment. And just to be clear, when I say 'payment', I mean real American dollars, not 'Kryptonian lira' or 'Dagobah System Credits'.
	So, you're saying my first edition of 'Aquaman's Guide to Financial Planning' isn't a viable currency? Shocking. Truly shocking.
	Yes, as shocking as finding out the villain was the hero's friend all along. Now, I need to make sure you can pay. Will that be a problem?
	Maybe I'll just give that guy his refund...

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Maxwell Flinch's exclamation mark
	Another morning wasted chasing rainbows. I really need to find clients who can actually afford my rates, not just promise exposure and good karma.
	Hey, you there, lawyer man!
	Me?
	Yeah, you. You're one of them fancy city slicker lawyers, ain'tcha?
	Guilty as charged. What's got you wound up tighter than a bull in a rodeo chute?
	My current lawyers are fleecing me worse than a fox in a hen house. Think you can wrangle this legal mess better than they can?
	Well, without knowing more than a coyote knows about a doorknob, it's tough to say—
	Well, hop on, partner! Let's rustle up some details faster than a tumbleweed in a Lubbock windstorm!
	Hang on, are we talking a simple legal roundup or a full-blown Houston hurricane of a case here?
	Son, it's wilder than a night out in Austin during rodeo season! You ready to ride this bronco or you gonna stay on the porch?
If The Rich Texan is owned: Task: "Make The Rich Texan Drag Maxwell Along". The job takes place at Springfield Airport, Solvang Air, Crazy Plane, Black Leather Plane, E.P.A. Hoverjet, Life-Sized Spruce Moose, Plane, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Maxwell Flinch Regret Using Nonspecific Wishes". The job takes place at Springfield Airport, Solvang Air, Crazy Plane, Black Leather Plane, E.P.A. Hoverjet, Life-Sized Spruce Moose, Plane, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
	...and here we are.
	Mr. Texan, there have to be hundreds of lawsuits here waiting to be filed.
	At least!
	And you are complaining that they are charging you too much for all this work?
	Yeah, they keep bringing up "filing fees" and "preparation time" and such nonsense. So I fired the lot of 'em!
	Well, sir. I am certainly willing to discuss taking over for them, but there may be some delays with filing as I take over...
	Delays? I ain't payin' you for no delays!
	...technically, sir, you aren't paying me at all right now.
	And I'm good with that rate! What do you say we keep it?
	...I think I'm going to have to pass. Good luck with your search for a new legal team.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Maxwell Flinch's exclamation mark
	Arr, and then they said that they'd see me in court! The nerve of some folks, thinking they can navigate the legal waters better than an old sea dog like me.
	...okay. Well, I've reviewed the case and it definitely looks like you should have no issues. It's tighter than a barnacle on a ship's hull.
	Your buffet is clearly labeled according to food safety guidelines about its temperature, so it will be hard for them to claim that they "didn't know" that trying to drink the grease would be dangerous. It's like trying to sail a ship on land — just doesn't make sense.
	Aye, ye bring a good smile to me eye with this news. Like finding a pearl in an oyster, it is. Do ye need anything else from me?
	I don't believe I do, no. But I'll be sure to let you know once I've had a chance to finish reviewing the information, drafting a legal response, and perhaps decoding more of your nautical metaphors.
	Fair winds to ye, lad. If you need me, I'll be navigating the treacherous seas of paperwork and employee schedules.
Task: "Make Maxwell Flinch Write Legal Documents". The job takes 4 hours.
	Working outside's nice, but I miss having an office. You know, a place where my biggest problem is a dying plant, not a dying laptop battery.
	Off to court now. It's like a trip to the dentist — unpleasant but necessary. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a judge who gives out lollipops.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Maxwell Flinch's exclamation mark
	Do you have anything else to add, Mr. Flinch?
	No sir.
	Then I find in favor of the defendant, Horatio McCallister, and dismiss this case.
	Ya-har!
	If I could, your honor...
	Yes, Mr. Flinch?
	We had added in a request for the plaintiff to cover the defendant's legal fees.
	Unfortunately, since there was some basis for this suit, I do not find any reason to award damages in this case.
	Ah, I see. Thank you, your honor.
	Come on, laddie! I've got your payment just outside!
	Somehow, I doubt that.
Task: "Make Maxwell Flinch Attempt to Sell "Payments"". The job takes 4 hours. If Sea Captain is owned: Task: "Make Sea Captain Celebrate at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern, Bars, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
	All right. As annoying as it is to have to deal with all these "alternative" payment methods...at least I can mark this one down as a win.
	knocks at door Delivery for one Maxwell Flinch.
	What is this?
	Looks like some sort of treasure chest, pally. Now, sign here.
	signs, opens box And it's filled with doubloons! Sweet, sweet, doubloons!
	Uhhh...any doubloons in there for me as a tip. The treasure chest was super heavy...
	Fine. Here's a handful...
