Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark
Sideshow Bob - Sad Jean-Pierre, the circus is dying. I need your very best at tonight's performance if we're to turn things around.
Circus Acrobat - Sad But I have lost the will to tumble and cavort. Without zese, the acrobat is meaningless.
Sideshow Bob - Happy Granted, sure, but wouldn't it be lovely to see this circus returned to its former glory?
Circus Acrobat Glory is meaningless.
Sideshow Bob A valid point. But I really, REALLY want to pack the audience full of Springfielders. So get out there and sell some tickets!
Circus Acrobat I cannot do this. 'Twould be humiliating to one such as I.
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Ah but one could argue, perhaps, that your pride is meaningless?
Circus Acrobat - Sad 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.
Sideshow Bob - Happy Well done, Jean-Pierre! You've sold five tickets.
Circus Acrobat I found ze humiliation very instructive. I am made greater by my suffering.
Sideshow Bob - Ominous Of course. Say, I know a local family that numbers five. You didn't sell those tickets to... the Simpsons, perchance?
Circus Acrobat Why? Is zere something special about ze Simpsons?
Sideshow Bob - Manic Oh, no no no no no. I have no special plans for the Simpsons. Or their spirited son... Bart.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Jean-Pierre! What's happened to your act?! You can't just sit in a chair and smoke clove cigarettes!
Circus Acrobat - Annoyed I am not ze dancing bear, to perform for money.
Sideshow Bob - Surprised That's EXACTLY what you are! Just... just swing on the trapeze a little!
Circus Acrobat The trapeze is in ill repair. I could plummet to my death.
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed So?! I thought you said life was meaningless?!
Circus Acrobat - Surprised 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.
Circus Acrobat - Surprised 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.
Sideshow Bob - Happy An unfortunate trained seal broke your fall. At any rate, the crowd loved it!
Sideshow Bob - Ominous Word of your exploits is certain to reach the Simpsons, and they will bring Bart to me.
Circus Acrobat You realize when you say the name "Bart Simpson", your eyes, zey, how you say, "bug out" a bit.
Sideshow Bob Yes, well, never mind that. Perfectly sane of me. Let's focus on putting you in even more peril tomorrow night!

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark
Circus Acrobat - Surprised I am not qualified to tame ze lions!
Sideshow Bob Nonsense, nothing to it. You and the lions will get along famously, provided you show not an ounce of fear.
Circus Acrobat - Sad Zere-in lies the problem. Zhough I long for ze oblivion of death, I am, at the same time, a humongous coward.
Sideshow Bob - Happy *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.
Circus Acrobat - Surprised It is true what zhey say about being mauled by lions: "ouch".
Sideshow Bob It was lucky I had these band aids for you, or that might have been serious.
Circus Acrobat Tell me something: why is it so important to you to lure Bart Simpson to ze circus?
Sideshow Bob - Ominous So that I can kill him, of course!
Circus Acrobat - Surprised You wish to kill a child?
Sideshow Bob - Manic Bart is HARDLY a child. He's ten. Well within legal killing age.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark
Circus Acrobat - Annoyed What did zhis Bart Simpson ever do to you?
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed Plenty. For starters, he never lets me kill him. VERY frustrating...
Circus Acrobat Okaaaayyy.... But what did he do to deserve death in ze first place?
Sideshow Bob - Surprised Well, he... uh, that is... funny, I can't really remember...
Sideshow Bob 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.
Circus Acrobat - Annoyed I have decided -- I will not use my circus skills to aid in Bart Simpson's murder.
Sideshow Bob - Ominous Perhaps you will agree to use them if I point this gun at you?
Circus Acrobat - Happy Sir, if you are asking me to choose my life over zhat of an innocent child, the answer is an enthusiastic yes!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on the Circus Acrobat's exclamation mark
Sideshow Bob - Happy He's here! Bart Simpson is in the audience! At last, my fingers will close 'round his neck and choke the very life from--
Circus Acrobat - Sad Murder, she will not bring you ze happiness, friend.
Sideshow Bob - Annoyed "Friend"? If you don't mind, I'd prefer to keep our relationship on a purely homicidal maniac/helpless pawn footing.
Circus Acrobat - Sad I would have hoped for more, but under ze circumstances, I will take what I can get.
Sideshow Bob I thank you. Truly. Have a great show.
Circus Acrobat 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.
Sideshow Bob - Sad Bart Simpson is gone! Just as I was to reach up from beneath his bleacher seat, the entire family left!
Circus Acrobat Oui, monsieur. You forgot ze first rule of the circus: ze circus is dull, and anyone with half a brain walks out right quick.
Circus Acrobat I think zhey had some alternate quests to complete, anyway. It is a busy month around here.
Sideshow Bob - Sad When?! When will I have my revenge!
Circus Acrobat 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.
Sideshow Bob - Happy Oh. So any day now!
