Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
Bart I can't believe we thought this ride was for stupid babies! It's the best!
Milhouse Should we go on it again?!
Bart DUH!
Bart and Milhouse - Happy Gnome ride! Gnome ride! Gnome ride!
Bart - Happy Man, somehow this ride gets crazier every time.
Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad Help me, kind fellows...
Bart and Milhouse - Scream Freaky talking Gnome!
Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad Help...me...please.
Milhouse - Scared Let's get outta here! *leaves*
Bart - Curious Hmm, I'm not really the type that helps people in any way shape or form, but I don't know, this intrigues me...
Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad I bow to you forever in service for helping me.
Bart Fine. As long as you're not overly clingy.
Gnome-in-the-Home - Surprised *holding onto Bart's leg* Clingy?! Never! Never!
Bart - Surprised You're clingier than Milhouse!
Milhouse - Determined I heard that!
Bart - Annoyed I thought you left!
Milhouse - Worried Maybe I am clingy?
Gnome-in-the-Home - Annoyed Just come with me, please.

Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad See? When I try to take off my Christmas costume, this happens. *electrocution noises*
Bart - Surprised Whoa, what was that? Did you get hit with a bolt of lightning or something?
Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad At this point I don't know how long I've been stuck in this thing. I can't even remember who I was before Gnome in the Home #357.
Bart - Curious Well, you are a seasonal mascot at Santa's Village, so...you may have been somewhat forgettable to begin with.
Milhouse - Mad Hey! My dad's a longstanding member of the Mascots, Sideshows, and Skateboarding-Bulldogs Union!
Gnome-in-the-Home - Surprised He is?! I wish we Gnomes were. Instead we're covered by the International Union of Gardeners and Landscapers. We don't even get lunch breaks.
Gnome-in-the-Home - Sad So, please, just help me.

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
Gnome-in-the-Home - Confused What are we doing way out here?
Bart Going to see the witch.
Gnome-in-the-Home - Surprised The witch? I didn't agree to that!
Bart You run the creepiest ride in town and you're stuck in your costume by some sort of magic spell, but you're scared of a witch?
Witch - Annoyed As well he should be! How dare you approach me!
Gnome-in-the-Home - Surprised Aaah!
Bart - Annoyed Drop the act. You still owe me from last week's poker game.
Witch - Sinister It's no act. I'm terrifying and you should quake in my presence.
Bart - Annoyed Shaking in my boots. Are you going to pay up or not?
Witch I'm no welcher. What do you need?
Bart This guy is trapped in his costume. It sounds like your handiwork. Can you get him out?
Witch Hmm. Interesting... Not my magic, but it's very good. I'll give it a try. This may hurt a bit.
Gnome-in-the-Home I've had to pee for what feels like months. It can't be worse than that.
Witch Challenge accepted.

Bart - Curious Can you take off the costume?
Gnome-in-the-Home - Annoyed *pulls on the costume, gets zapped* Ow!
Witch Mmm...the curse is too powerful even for me. You'll need to find the one who cursed you.
Bart You still owe me.
Witch - Annoyed I didn't eat you for coming here. I think we're even.
Bart - Happy See you Thursday?
Witch - Happy Don't forget that it's your turn to bring snacks.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
Gnome-in-the-Home Well, that wasn't helpful. I have no idea who cursed me.
Bart What's the last thing you remember?
Gnome-in-the-Home I remember getting hired and then going deep into the bowels of the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome ride.
Bart Then that's where we'll start. If cartoons have taught me anything, we'll find some creepy caretaker that's behind the whole thing.
Gnome-in-the-Home If you say so. It sounds a little cliché to me.
Bart Clichés are clichés for a reason.
Task: "Make Gnome-in-the-Home Embrace the Cliché". The job takes place at the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Embrace the Cliché". The job takes place at the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
Herman What are you doing back here? You're supposed to be out front running the ride.
Bart - Smug I told you there would be some creepy old dude behind it all. Why did you curse him?
Herman I'm not old, the war aged me prematurely. And what curse?
Gnome-in-the-Home I can't take off this costume and I can't remember who I am. Do you know who I am?
Herman No idea. If we did background checks at carnival rides, we'd never hire anyone.
Bart Where did the costume come from?
Herman Bought it off Moeslist. Only cost me three beers. Heck of an investment, too. That thing practically doubled ticket sales.
Gnome-in-the-Home What kind of website sells things for beer?
Herman - Happy The best kind.

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
Bart Hey Moe, I heard you were running a website called Moeslist.
Moe - Worried Are you two cops? If you are, you're required by law to tell me.
Bart We're a kid and a guy in a gnome costume...
Moe You can never be too careful. Gnome, take off the head. I need to see if you have the face of a cop.
Gnome-in-the-Home *pulls on head and gets zapped*
Bart See, that's exactly the problem. He can't take off the costume.
Moe No refunds.
Bart So, you admit you sold this costume.
Moe - Sneaky No. But still, no refunds.
Gnome-in-the-Home We're not trying to bust you. I just want to get out of the costume. What can you tell us about it?
Moe The source of items listed on Moeslist is confidential.
Bart *points to the gnome* He's a cop.
Moe - Worried Oh, please don't arrest me. I didn't do it. The costume was left with some stupid stick. I sold it to a kid who thought it was a magical wand.
Bart Pudgy little nerd going on and on about Angelica Button?
Moe That's the one.
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Hunt Down Martin". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern, the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
Bart - Determined Martin! Just who I was looking for. *cracks knuckles*
Martin - Surprised Back off Lord Evilton, or I, Angelica Button, will blast you to oblivion with my magic wand!
Bart Whatever, hand over the wand and nobody gets hurt.
Martin - Angry *holds up wand* You want a piece of this?
Gnome-in-the-Home *steps in between them* I just need your hel—
Martin - Surprised Aaaah! Allakablam! *zaps Gnome-in-the-Home*
Gnome-in-the-Home - Pained *on the ground* Wuuuuuuh?
Martin I did magic! I did real magic!
Bart - Confused You all right?
Martin - Happy Of course. I'm better than all right!
Bart - Annoyed Not you, Merlin.
Gnome-in-the-Home *stands up* I think so. Something feels different. I think my name is...Jerry.
Martin - Angry Don't make me blast you again!
Bart Martin, chill. We came here to see if that wand would help him get out of that gnome costume.
Martin Oh, in that case... Allakabl—
Bart - Surprised Stop! Let's at least see what that first zap did...
Bart Jerry, see if you can take off the head.

Bart - Confused Well hey, that's...progress.
Martin - Happy Yes! I'll keep trying until we get it right.
Bart Do you think maybe I could have one of the extra heads? Lisa would just LOVE to wake up with that thing in the bed next to her.
