The Ghost of Christmas Present Come one, come all! There's a sale! Buy one tribal mask, get a spear of dubious origin half off!
Lisa - Confused Dad?
The Ghost of Christmas Present No, little lady. I am not your father. But I can say that if I was, I would strongly encourage you to try these authentic ancient kimonos!
Lisa - Suspicious I don't know what this is about, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate it when I find out.
The Ghost of Christmas Present A tough customer, indeed! But look here! I have a Himalayan Singing Bowl that just howls to be purchased by such a discerning patron!
If The Ghost of Christmas Present is owned: Task: "Make the Ghost of Christmas Present Hawk Insensitive Goods". The job takes place at Appropriations Cultural Artifacts and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Lisa Have Her Disappointment Confirmed". The job takes place at Appropriations Cultural Artifacts and takes 4 hours.
Lisa - Sad I was really hoping that, just once, a strange character would show up in Springfield without being a caricature of something awful.
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Happy I'm sorry that I couldn't make a sale, but I'm glad you stopped by! Tell all your friends about us!

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on The Ghost of Christmas Present's exclamation mark
Kirk - Annoyed Excuse me. Can I talk to you?
The Ghost of Christmas Present That depends! Are you here to inquire about our line of stained-glass teapots from the early fourth dynasty?
Kirk - Annoyed No! I want to know what makes you think you can come in and take my street corner!
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Confused I do not fully understand your question, good sir.
Kirk - Angry This is my corner, where I promote our company's crackers. And you are standing on my cracker crack and peddling inappropriate cultural knick-knacks!
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Annoyed There's no need to be hurtful.
Kirk - Annoyed Just...move along!
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Annoyed I had planned to do that anyways. This sales expedition can't be limited to just one spot!
If The Ghost of Christmas Present is owned: Task: "Make the Ghost of Christmas Present Sell Out". The job takes 4 hours.
Rabbi Krustofsky Sir, did I hear you right?
The Ghost of Christmas Present That depends. What did you hear?
Rabbi Krustofsky I heard you say that you have authentic relics from the holy land at a steep discount.
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Happy That we do! Whether it's a "Shroud for Touring", or a wall so discounted you'll be wailing at it, we have it all!
Rabbi Krustofsky - Annoyed I don't know which is worse. The puns, or the fact that you're making money off religious heresy.
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Happy That's what I call a two-for-one special!

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on The Ghost of Christmas Present's exclamation mark
Bart - Frustrated I give up.
The Ghost of Christmas Present What's wrong, my future customer?
Bart - Frustrated I don't get your deal at all.
Bart I mean, you annoyed Lisa, so that's a point in your favor. But even I know that you're not exactly what we've come to expect from a spirit taken from "A Christmas Carol".
The Ghost of Christmas Present Yes, I get this question a lot, and I'll be happy to explain, if you're willing to wait until I finish up our latest promotion.
Bart - Curious Okay, I'll bite. What's the promotion?
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Happy Buy one ancient artifact purloined by a colonizer and get it gift wrapped for free.
If The Ghost of Christmas Present is owned: Task: "Make the Ghost of Christmas Present Wrap Complicated Presents". The job takes 4 hours.
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Watch in Fascination". The job takes place at Appropriations Cultural Artifacts and takes 4 hours.
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Happy Thank you! We look forward to your business once more!
Bart - Surprised That was awesome. But seriously, what's your deal?
The Ghost of Christmas Present - Annoyed Well, my lad, for decades, people have read Dickens' original text and interpreted "The Ghost of Christmas Present" to mean "The Ghost of Christmas Right Now".
The Ghost of Christmas Present But the hacks behind this year's Christmas Event chose to read it to mean "The Ghost of Christmas Gift".
Bart - Confused But what's with your weird jargon and cultural appropriation jokes?
The Ghost of Christmas Present That's just icing on the fruitcake.
Bart Fruitcakes don't have icing.
The Ghost of Christmas Present Let it go, boy. It's almost Christmas. Everyone just wants to go home.
