Dialogue[edit]
| After unlocking Young Grampa Simpson
|
|
Kids, did I ever tell you about the time I stopped a mutiny aboard a World War II Navy aircraft carrier?
|
|
Is this the one that ends with you wrestling Godzilla in Madison Square Garden?
|
|
|
No, and that story wasn't entirely true. See, I told you that one when I was younger and much more senile than I am now.
|
|
|
No, this happened when I was a handsome, young buck, living my best Navy Life.
|
|
|
I'd been assigned a top secret mission by my Commander. *flashback harp*
|
|
|
I won't let you down, sir! Tojo will be shaking in his boots when he sees what I've done!
|
| Task: "Make Young Grampa Simpson Swab the Deck". The job takes place at the Squidport Entrance or Homes and takes 60 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Mission accomplished, sir! Awaiting further instructions!
|
|
|
|
That was when I saw a sight so horrible it will be forever etched in my memory.
|
|
*chanting* Dead body, dead body, dead body!
|
|
A grown man suffering terrible food poisoning in the water closet!
|
|
*ewww* Grampa!
|
|
|
|
Sir! I will never forget your sacrifice! I'll see that you get the Purple Heart for this!

|
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
With my C.O. out of commission, that left me in command.
|
|
|
I immediately set to the task at hand: becoming drunk with power. *flashback harp*
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the situation, Abe. Some people achieve greatness, some people have greatness thrust upon them by undercooked chicken.
|
|
|
Swabbing platoon B! I am assuming command! Report for duty!
|
| Task: "Make Young Grampa Simpson Use His Commander Voice". The job takes place at the Squidport Entrance or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
|
|
Atten-hut! Men, your commanding officer is down. As of this moment, I am in charge.
|
|
|
Some of you look at this deck and think: "Hey, that looks pretty well swabbed".
|
|
|
You think: "We've been swabbing for twelve hours, and Navy regulations require we be allowed to sleep".
|
|
|
But I look at this deck, and I think: "If I work these men even harder, maybe the boss will promote me, so screw these guys".
|
|
|
So whaddya say, men? Are you ready to sacrifice everything for my benefit?
|
|
|
Hello? Men? *whistles* Yo, anybody out there?
|

|
|
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
|
I was getting nowhere with these layabouts. It was time to properly motivate them.
|
|
|
|
|
Alright boys, I've hidden the key to the Mess Hall. No one gets dinner until this deck shines like the Captain's rear end after I'm done kissing it!
|
|
|
|
Well, I'm proud to say the men respected my authority, and they fell right in line.
|
| Task: "Make Young Grampa Simpson Run From Sailors". The job takes place at the Squidport Entrance or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
|
|
Boys, we can work this out! Why don't you all put me down, and we can discuss fine tuning my management style?
|
|
|
|
|
And that was when I learned that even if you're in the middle of the ocean far from any discernable land mass...
|
|
If you make the fellas mad enough, they'll find a sand bar to strand you on.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
|
Stranded on a desert island by my crew, I knew I was facing the very real possibility of sunburn.
|
|
Also thirst and starvation.
|
|
|
That's when my eyes fell upon my salvation: sharks. *flashback harp*
|
|
|
|
|
Yoo-hoo! Over here, sharks! First one to offer me a ride gets all the mutineers he can eat!
|
| Task: "Make Young Grampa Simpson Get Jumped by the Shark". The job takes 12 hours.
|
|
|
That was when I learned the terrible truth about sharks -- they do not honor verbal contracts.
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, I asked for a RIDE, you idiot shark. Not a mauling!
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After completing Pt. 4
|
|
So then the men rescued me and the rest of the story is really boring. The end!
|
|
Nuh-uh, Grampa. Any story you don't want to tell us is one I want to hear.
|
|
|
Fine. What's a little more humiliation at my age anyway, just a drop in the ol' catheter. *flashback harp*
|
|
|
|
|
Now men, I realize we've had slight disagreements over my leadership style.
|
|
|
But seeing as how you tried to kill me, and would love another crack at it, maybe I could make you dinner?
|
| Task: "Make Young Grampa Simpson Peel Potatoes". The job takes 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
This is the last time I'll ever peel a potato! *flash-forward harp*
|
|
|
|
|
And it was. From then on, I made my wife peel the potatoes. Until she left me. Then, no potatoes ever again.
|
|
|
Man, I miss potatoes.
|
|
|
Oh, right. And then I wrestled Godzilla in Madison Square Garden. The end.
