Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
Blue-Haired Lawyer Mr. Hope, I've just received a letter from the IRS. Your company, Kid First Industries, is suspected of tax evasion.
Blue-Haired Lawyer You're also charged with -- and I've never seen this before -- "general grossness". It's a little-known crime from the Constitution.
Jim Hope - Happy Since when is evading taxes a crime?! Listen, I'll make this right. I'll have the IRS killed.
Blue-Haired Lawyer Murder is, sadly, also a crime.
Jim Hope - Annoyed That's the government for you. Always nosing into other people's homicides.
Jim Hope - Sad Well, I can't pay. I haven't had a hit toy since the Funzo. I'm broke.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Search His Pockets for Spare Change". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 4 hours.
Jim Hope Here, this is everything I've got in my pockets. *drops coins on desk*
Blue-Haired Lawyer You're going to need... fifteen million dollars more.
Jim Hope I do have another pair of pants at home. So, there's that. But I suppose I could just invent another hit toy.
Jim Hope - Happy Better put on a happy face for the kiddies and hope ol' Uncle Jim's still got it.
Blue-Haired Lawyer As your lawyer, I must advise you not to refer to yourself as "uncle" around children who aren't your relatives.
Jim Hope - Surprised Why? Liability issue?
Blue-Haired Lawyer No, just creepy.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
Jim Hope - Sad All right, Lindsey. We need a smash hit toy for the holidays or I'm going to jail.
Lindsey Naegle You're not the only one who's been evading taxes. Should I be worried?
Jim Hope Probably. As in, I'm "probably" going to rat you out to get a reduced sentence.
Lindsey Naegle - Annoyed I see. I suppose I could have you killed?
Jim Hope - Annoyed No, it's illegal. The lawyer said so.
Lindsey Naegle - Sad Shoot. Well, I never like making money honestly, but that may be our only option here.
Jim Hope If there was any other way, believe me I'd be all over it. Let's get to work.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Brainstorm Original Ideas". The job takes 4 hours.
If Lindsey Naegle is owned: Task: "Make Lindsey Naegle Brainstorm Ways to Backstab Jim Hope". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 4 hours.
Jim Hope Read back to me what we've come up with so far.
Lindsey Naegle - Happy A doll that explodes if you forget to feed it, a mobile game based on a past-its-prime cartoon...
Lindsey Naegle - Happy ...an action figure with a monthly subscription fee for some reason, and a kid-sized AR-15 that doesn't set off metal detectors.
Jim Hope - Happy All brilliant, every one! Let's run some focus groups and see what the kids think!

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
Jim Hope - Happy Hey there kids, how would you like to play with some toys?
Lisa - Suspicious No way! You're not fooling us with that act again.
Ralph - Happy I like playing with toys in front of one-way mirrors!
Lisa - Happy Hey Ralph, take my hand and we'll look for fairies in your backyard, okay?
Ralph - Happy I like doing the last thing someone suggested! Let's go!
Lisa We'll catch a fairy today for sure. But we have to get far, far away from this guy -- fairies don't like him.
Jim Hope - Annoyed *sigh* They grow out of their easily-manipulated stage so fast.
Task: "Make Jim Hope Demonstrate Toys". The job takes 12 hours.
Jim Hope - Sad The kids hated our toys! They said they were "too cynical". Since when is making toys designed to prey on kids' worst impulses "cynical"?
Jim Hope How am I supposed to con them if they're wise to my tricks? Am I supposed to make something they actually like? *chuckles*
Lindsey Naegle - Annoyed Don't spout such nonsense!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
Jim Hope - Sad Little girl, please come back. I need your help -- I'm desperate!
Lisa - Nagging You've always been desperate.
Jim Hope - Sad Hey, you think it's EASY being a grown man who's nowhere near as good at inventing toys as the great Lisa Simpson?
Lisa - Eyeroll Flattery won't work on me.
Jim Hope I know. You're way too smart to fall for flattery.
Lisa - Happy Sweet, sweet flattery... Oh how I love it...
Lisa - Annoyed Fine! You get ten minutes of my time. I'll come up with one toy. But that's it!
Task: "Make Jim Hope Steal Lisa's Ideas". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary or Kid First Industries and takes 8 hours.
Jim Hope How about a toy oven that makes fattening cakes, then we sell a weight loss supplement as an add-on?
Lisa - Confused Hmm. What if the toy oven makes nutritious snacks, but they look like cupcakes. Makes the kids AND the parents happy.
Jim Hope - Surprised So, it's not exploitative? I mean, what's the fun in that?
Jim Hope What about a set of encyclopedias, but all the facts are wrong so it makes you stupider? Then we sell tutoring services to all the new dummies we just made.
Lisa - Nagging Stick with the healthy oven.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Jim Hope's exclamation mark
Lindsey Naegle Lindsey, I think we've got our hit toy: The Half-Baked Oven!
Jim Hope Half-Baked is half as powerful as regular play ovens. So you have to buy special pre-half-baked treats from us.
Lisa Wait, no! That's not what we agreed on!
Jim Hope Can't you see how much more evil it is my way? Think, Lisa!
Lisa I want my idea back. You stole it from me!
Lindsey Naegle Jim, open us some bubbly to celebrate. I just need to make a quick phone call...
Jim Hope It's hot tubbing time!
Task: "Make Jim Hope Pop Some Bottles". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 12 hours.
If Lindsey Naegle is owned: Task: "Make Lindsey Naegle Give Chief Wiggum a Hot Tip". The job takes place at Kid First Industries and takes 12 hours.
Jim Hope - Happy Lindsey! Hot tub's ready! I've got a special mankini I've been saving!
Wiggum - Angry Hold it right there, Hope! You're under arrest for exploiting the work of miners.
Jim Hope - Surprised Because of the Lisa Simpson thing?
Wiggum - Serious What? No, not some kid. Miners. The guys who work in mines. Anyway, that's what I heard over the phone.
Wiggum - Serious And that's how I wrote it up. You can't expect me to redo all that paperwork.
Jim Hope - Surprised Lindsey! You set me up!
Lindsey Naegle - Happy Have fun in prison, Jim!
Jim Hope - Happy Eureka, that's it! A play set that's a prison, and whenever you want to free your dolls, you have to purchase a new security code from us?
Lisa - Thoughtful Hmmm. Yeah, I'd play with that.
Jim Hope - Happy *being dragged off to jail* I'm back, baby!
