Dialogue[edit]
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
Marge! Marge Simpson! Just the woman I was hoping to see.
|
|
Sasha Reed?
|
|
Ah, Marge Simpson. As refreshing as a dry martini at intermission...
|
|
Hi Llewellyn...
|
|
So...given that we're having this conversation, I'm guessing there's something you want me to do for you. What is it?
|
|
|
Sasha is the lead in my latest masterpiece. It's called "The Heiress of Nantucket".
|
|
|
It's a working title...
|
|
|
Look, Marge. We need your stage managing prowess to make our theatrical tour de force sing.
|
|
|
You want me to stage manage your real play?
|
|
|
We need you, Marge.
|
|
Is there a script?
|
|
A script? Okay, Mrs. Hollywood.
|
|
|
Well...is there one?
|
|
|
Of course there's a script. Just come with us to the rehearsal space and all will be revealed.
|
|
|
Ooh, mysterious!

|
|
"The Heiress of Nantucket".
|
|
|
Again, it's a working title.
|
|
|
So, Marge, will you grace us with your stage managing talent?
|
|
Your play's about the life-altering angst of a New England heiress after she experiences the trauma of a barista making her the wrong latte?
|
|
I know! Isn't it thought-provoking? The everyday plight of the upper-class, completely uncharted territory!
|
|
|
Interesting...
|
|
|
Marge, don't worry about the story. We need you for the stage managing. I know you haven't worked since back in high school, but you're the best I've ever seen.
|
|
|
Actually, I just stage managed my kid's school play. Tom Sawyer: The Musical. It was a massive success.
|
|
Oh...really? Okay.
|
|
|
We're not expecting you to work for free here. We're offering you real compensation, plus a $200 gift card to Luigi's.
|
|
|
I want to refuse. But I know how Llewellyn gets if you refuse him.
|
|
|
I taught Scott Rudin how to throw baked potatoes at assistants — the key is to make sure they're fully loaded.
|
|
|
I wouldn't be proud of that story if I were you...
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Ok, Sasha, let's take it from the top.
|
|
Ah, the supermarket aisle. A corridor of judgement! / Where's the respect I deserve? / Am I not a woman of worth? Don't they know my lineage?
|
|
|
It's art, isn't it, Marge? The anguish of the privileged?
|
|
Give me a minute to reset the lights.
|
|
|
I sit all alone by the sea / With this forsaken latte in my hand / What I need is a matcha tea / Even though they're super bland!
|
|
|
She's a modern-day Eponine, isn't she?
|
|
|
Say, Marge, after the rehearsal, could you pop over to the theater to check the audio situation? I have some errands I need to run.
|
|
|
Sure, I'll just add that to the list of everything else I'm running for you.
|
| Task: "Make Stage Manager Marge Talk to The Theater Manager". The job takes place at Springfield Playhouse, Springfield Community Theater, Drive-In Theater, Holo-Theater, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Can I help you, ma'am?
|
|
I'm here on behalf of Llewellyn Sinclair, for "The Heiress of Nantucket."
|
|
Oh, I don't know what that is, ma'am.
|
|
|
It's a working title...
|
|
|
Oh, wait, are you talking about the theater contest we're doing?
|
|
Contest?
|
|
|
Yeah, the prize is $50,000.
|
|
|
They're not here to put on a play. They used me to win their contest, split the money, and head to Broadway!
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
I can't believe it. This isn't a real play. They're using me to win some contest!
|
|
But that's great! No play means no work, right? Which means, we can finally watch all those Apple TV shows that I heard are solid but not great.
|
|
No, I'm not letting them off the hook. They want a play? They'll get a play.
|
Task: "Make Homer Run for Cover". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Stage Manager Marge Prepare to Take Over the Play". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.

| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Marge! Marge! I need to talk to you!
|
|
|
Not now, Llewellyn! *drops the curtain* Quickly, Sasha! You're back on in 15, get some water!
|
|
I thought this was a 5-minute break!
|
|
|
We had to cut this break to fit the theater's total runtime. Fix your hair! Here we go! *raises the curtain*
|
|
Marge, why did the theater manager send me a list of show dates in two weeks?
|
|
|
Because you made one critical mistake, Llewellyn. You let me get involved. I know about the $50,000 prize.
|
|
|
Oh...
|
|
|
And I didn't spend all this time staging a play to be read for a one night competition so that you and Sasha can split your cash prize and leave Springfield.
|
|
|
We'll cut you in! We'll split the prize three ways. Wait, what did you do?
|
|
|
I had them change the rules. The winner is contracted to stage their play for 90 days in Springfield...
|
|
|
What?! We might as well drop out! I can't stay here for 90 days! I need to be in a big city! You should see the profiles on these dating apps!
|
|
|
Plus, I have a thousand auditions I need to get back to. 90 days is a lifetime in New York.
|
|
|
...and I convinced them that the prize should be dependent on the size of the audience at the contest.
|
|
|
But if anyone shows up, they might realize the garbage we're trying to pass off as art!
|
|
|
Then I hope you're okay with winning only $500...
|
|
|
How...why...then we'll leave! I won't stand for this!
|
|
|
We can't leave, Llewellyn. Our play's pretty much a shoe in to win. It's $50,000.
|
|
|
Now do us all a favor and run the board for the last act of this rehearsal, I have a play to promote!
|
Task: "Make Stage Manager Marge Promote Her Play". The job takes 4 hours.
If Sasha Reed is owned: Task: "Make Sasha Reed Continue Rehearsal". The job takes place at Springfield Playhouse, Springfield Community Theater, Drive-In Theater, Holo-Theater, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
If Llewellyn Sinclair is owned: Task: "Make Llewellyn Sinclair Realize He Can't Stop This". The job takes place at Springfield Playhouse, Springfield Community Theater, Drive-In Theater, Holo-Theater, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
You don't get it, Sasha! She's ruining everything!
|
|
|
By making sure the play actually happens? We should have never agreed to bring on Marge Simpson. She's too smart for her own good.
|
|
Unless... we win the prize. Then we go full "The Producers" on everyone.
|
|
|
What do you mean?
|
|
|
We win the contest, and then on the official opening night of the play we sabotage it. We make the play so bad that it doesn't last a day in Springfield.
|
|
|
But in "The Producers" that backfires and the play becomes a hit.
|
|
|
Then it's a win-win, because we'd have a hit play!
|
|
|
I like this idea...
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Alright Sasha, take a deep breath. You're not on Broadway anymore, you're in...Springfield.
|
|
This isn't exactly Patti LuPone territory, darling. Think more community theater meets farmers market.
|
|
|
I bet Angela Lansbury felt the same way for her opening night in "Mame". Except, of course, there were probably fewer pitchforks in her audience.
|
|
Let's win this contest!
|
Task: "Make Stage Manager Marge Handle Costuming". The job takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Springfielders Wonder What They're Watching" (x5). The jobs take place at Springfield Playhouse, Springfield Community Theater, Drive-In Theater, Holo-Theater, Chinese Acrobatic Theatre, or the Simpson House and take 4 hours.
|
|
|
I cannot believe this! This cannot stand! I am the hero of this story! I am always...right! *curtain falls*
|
|
*thumbs up to Sasha in the silence*
|
|
*light applause begins* So, Marge, do you think we won?
|
|
|
Let's see who our competition is first?
|
|
My play is titled "Mel, Melself, and I."
|
|
|
How long is he going to talk for?
|
|
|
I actually think it's pretty good. So much detail. I feel like I'm there with him.
|
|
Ah, those Spago nights...I was one margherita pizza in when Sam Haskell, my then-agent, rings.
|
|
|
The producers of "The Man with One Red Shoe" were gunning for me.
|
|
|
But Sam, with all his gross points and back-end deal talk, convinces me to choose a "bigger" studio project instead. It'll be safer he says.
|
|
|
But I loved the original French version. I knew it'd be a hit.
|
|
|
So, while I'm nursing a brandy at The Rainbow Bar, toasting with some execs to what I believe will be my big studio comedy...
|
|
...across town Tom Hanks and Victor Drai himself are having their own little toast.
|
|
It could have been me screaming "WIL-SON"! I could have "Run, Forest, Run"!
|
|
|
But alas, my studio movie fell apart two days before principal photography, and Tom Hanks, well, he became Tom Hanks.
|
|
But I have no bone to pick! *bows* *loud applause*
|
|
|
Well, sounds like we lost.
|
|
|
Big time.
|
|
|
There has to be a lesson here somewhere.
