Dialogue
Pt. 1
| 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.

Pt. 2
| 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!

Pt. 3
| 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.

|
|
Pt. 4
| 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
| 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
