Friends Without Benefits is a side questline that was released on February 3, 2021, for the Love and War 2021 Event. It requires the character, Temperance.
This future town is so complicated. New buildings appear all the time.
There's a tavern. Perhaps they can give me directions.
Oh, heya Midge. So you finally decided to mix up the wardrobe, eh? Retire the ol' green dress?
Yeah. What's with that getup anyway? Did I miss another Civil War reenactment?
Who's Midge? My name is Temperance. Could one of you fine gentlemen tell me where I am?
Hot diggity, a Marge look-a-like! My Dear Sky Finger letters finally paid off. Time to turn on the ol' Moe charm.

Wow, that's quite a tale. It's like it came from one of those... Ah you know, that things wit all dem words in it. Kinda heavy... Barney, help me out here.
Uh, a talkative sumo wrestler?
Forget it. So anyway, since your husband ain't here, you wanna go out on a date?
A date?! I'll have you know that, unlike my husband, I take my marital vows very seriously!
Whoa, temper, temper Temperance. Look, a date with me is just two people talking. There ain't nothin' romantic about it.
My apologies. In that case, a date would be fine. But you're sure this isn't something intimate?
Most definitely. *picks up phone* Hello? Gilded Truffle. Reservation for two, please... Yeah, the dark part of the joint.

Character
Dialogue
This restaurant is fancy, but I'm worried it may be too romantic. The napkins look like little swans and when they face each other they form a heart!
No, that's not romantic. It's a cardiovascular warning from the health department. Yeah, that's it. They're very strict. So, you ready to eat?
I am rather hungry, but I don't recognize most of the items on this menu. What is "couple's fondue"?
Oh, that's just a meal with two long forks where youse feeds each other. It's, uh, very professional.
Huh, well I'm a little out of my element. Would you mind ordering for me? I just want to admire all these candles surrounding our table.
Sure thing. Uh, waiter, I'll have the caviar and she'll have the oysters. And another bottle of wine please. You know, the businessman's special.

Did yous enjoy the meal?
I certainly did. The food in this town is fantastic. Well, it's getting late. Would you mind walking me home?
Well, you see the thing is, around here it's normal after a meal to go look at the stars. Under a blanket. And just talk.
It is? I see. Well, when in Rome..
Yeah sure. But again, this is Springfield.

Dialogue
This place is lovely. What's the name of it again?
Tongue-Kiss Point. But don't pay no attention to the name, it's French and doesn't translate to English right.
Don't look now, but there's a couple cuddling over there.
My goodness! I tell you, some people just ain't decent.
Makes you wanna...maybe try out what they're doing just so you can...ya know, understand the depths of their, uh...their indecency.
I think I can see the depths of it just fine from here.
Yeah, me too. Total depths.

Character
Dialogue
Well, thank you for a lovely evening, Moe. This town may have some strange traditions, but it's good to know it's got decent people in it, like you.
Aw shucks, Temperance. Tonight wasn't anything special...
Just a completely normal non-romantic date that'll probably make me have to miss my rent payments for the rest of the year.
Perhaps we can do this again sometime?
Only if Barney pays his full bar tab.
Moe, do not think me forward but, upon our first farewell, my husband and I shared a goodnight kiss. Do you think that would be proper?
