Dialogue

Intro

After completing Christmas is Canceled Pt. 3 Hey, Savage! That's my name. Coincidentally, it's also a pretty good description of my character. The Captain wants to see us in his office. Whatever he says, try to play by the rules for once? Hi, policemans! I'm the one in charge, so what I say goes for sure! I've got a big police job for you. You're playing Monopoly with me! Sure, I'll play. But not by the rules. Savage! Task: "Make Bart Give a Tough Guy Sneer". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Try Not to Panic". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Ralph is owned: Task: "Make Ralph Try to Remember How to Discipline". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. My police gun shot me again. You think maybe we should take you to the hospital, Captain? I have a police car with police lights and police sounds and one time I ranned over a pedestrian. Not much of a story so far, but credit where credit's due -- Bart can really write for Ralph. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 1

After completing the Intro Robbers are robbing a bank! Somebody call the police! Sounds like a job for a loose cannon and his gutless partner. I don't know, Savage. Maybe we should sit this one out. The bad guys have snow shooters that sound like *pew pew*. "Snow shooters". I like how harmless that sounds. Thought I'd throw you a bone there, Toots. Dad, when I say "snow shooters", you just picture Uzis and headshots spraying red gore everywhere. I'm on it! Task: "Make Bart Practice His Action Puns". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Do Paperwork". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Collect Snowballs" (x100). All right Meeks, let's roll out. Have fun catching the bad guys! I'll suspend you for taking the law into your own hands when you get back! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Snow Bank and Free Land Token

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Okay Meeks, what are we looking at, here? We got terrorists inside the bank, with an unknown number of hostages. The police negotiator is on his way, so sit tight-- Banzai charge! Wait! Don't charge in until we have a plan! I don't make plans, I make results! Chaaarge! Task: "Make Bart Storm the Snow Bank". The job takes place at the Snow Bank and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Try Not to Get Taken Hostage". The job takes place at the Snow Bank and takes 8 hours. Task: "Collect Snowballs" (x300). Oh no! It's rogue livewire Officer Savage! Let's make like snow and flake! *kicks over a cabinet* Meeks, you let those charmingly snow-themed terrorists escape! Uh, I was a little busy rescuing the hostages. You're a real hero. Did you even get a look at those sweet, innocent hostages you saved? Oh my God. They're... they're... They're Christmas Carolers. The worst, most annoying people on Earth. And you let them live. Nooooooo! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Festive Carolers x2

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 I wear my policeman's uniform over my PJs so I don't have to change into my PJs at night so bedtime is five minutes later! Uh, you wanted to see us, Chief? Hand in your badge, Savage! I'm mad at you for I-forget-why! Probably, I'm guessing, because we let the bad guys get away? ... My PJs are itchy under my uniform. Let's question the hostages, see what they can tell us about the terrorists. Task: "Make Bart Play Bad Cop". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Play Timid Cop". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Ralph is owned: Task: "Make Ralph Spin in His Chair Till He Gets Sick". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Collect Snowballs" (x300). The terrorists are being led by a villain who calls himself "Deep Freeze". Figures. The really dangerous ones always choose the most whimsical names. Remember when Silly McGilly shot up that mall? Peerless psycho. Not as bad as when Love-ums the King of Hugs killed and ate an entire preschool. You guys talking about Deep Freeze? Good guy. I met him in the bank holdup, but he let me go. Finally! The real hero of the story arrives! I was supposed to be his hostage, but he said I was too fat and dumb to take along. Said I smelled, too. And that I was dumb. *ANNOYED GRUNT* Quest reward: 100 and 10 Deep Freeze and Free Land Token

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Can I ask you a few questions, Fat Smelly Dummy? Don't respond to that, Story Homer. Fire away, Copper! Dammit! Have some self-respect, me! Did Deep Freeze reveal anything to you about his evil plan? He wouldn't stop talking about Christmas, or all the presents he was gonna buy with the stolen loot. Weird that a criminal would care so much about Christmas... I wish I could remember more about him. Of course, my brain works best when it's black-out drunk. To Moe's! Task: "Make Bart Visit Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Homer Drink at Moe's". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or a Brown House and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Deep Freeze Make it Hail Bullets". The job takes place at the Snow Bank and takes 24 hours. Task: "Collect Snowballs" (x300). That's ten eggnogs you've had, sir. Are you remembering anything else about the bad guy? Nothin' yet. One more eggnog oughta do it. Or per'aps a tasty eggnog will help! *heavy sigh* I think this is a dead end, this guy has no idea where Deep Freeze is. Deep Freeze? He's robbing the Snow Bank again right now. Why would he rob it again, when he knows it's been cleaned out? It ain't easy coming up with new buildings for this town every couple months. Can't justify all that work unless you use them multiple times. We'd better take the Snow Mobile. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Snow Mobile and Free Land Token

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Chief, we're heading back to the Snow Bank. Deep Freeze is up to something. We're not sure what, exactly. But it appears to be highly repetitive. Officers Rod and Todd are on site. They're authorized to pray for Deep Freeze with extreme prejudice. Rod and Todd?! But they're incompetent! "Incompetent"? What's that? Hoo boy. Task: "Make Bart and Milhouse Drive the Snow Mobile". The job takes place at the Snow Mobile and takes 12 hours. If Ralph is owned: Task: "Make Ralph Play Dress Up in the Evidence Closet". The job takes place at the Police Station, Springfield Penitentiary, or Brown House and takes 12 hours. Task: "Collect Snowballs" (x300). Surrender, Deep Freeze! We've got you surrounded by the loving embrace of forgiveness! We've already turned one cheek. Don't make us turn the other one! You don't scare me, Coppers. Well maybe I do! Savage! Okay, how about a plea deal - I'll tell youse who's really pulling the strings, and youse let me go. Youse'll find the real kingpin at the Truck Stop Diner. Another new building, eh? All right. Let's unlock it and see what's what. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Truck Stop Diner and Free Land Token

Pt. 6

After completing Pt. 5 I know what you're gonna say, Savage, but I'd really love to do a quick perimeter check of the diner before we-- I've got a dumber idea. Don't say "banzai charge". Don't say "banzai charge"... *sound of explosions* How about I blow the door with TNT, and only afterwards ask you if that's a good idea? You know, I'm the one who has to fill out the paperwork when you blow stuff up! Task: "Make Bart Storm the Truck Stop Diner". The job takes place at the Truck Stop Diner and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Milhouse Try to Minimize the Damage". The job takes place at the Truck Stop Diner and takes 8 hours. Stop right there, we've got you cornered...Santa Claus? You bet your stockings it is! But why? You gone naughty on us, old man? I needed the cash! You think it's CHEAP making toys for every child in the world? And if I occasionally want to enjoy a high-end wine, or add to my collection of fine timepieces, do you think that's easy on a saint's income? Well, I suppose my partner and I could look the other way... for a cut of the loot. Savage is a crooked cop?! What a twist! That's cheating! To be satisfying, a twist has to be both well set up AND motivated by character. Otherwise it's just cheap! Then why am I so completely satisfied and fulfilled as an audience member? Huh? Answer that! Quest reward: 200 and 20
