Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 1[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Grampa Icon Lisa! Wanna see a magic trick?
Lisa Annoyed Icon It's not the old coin-behind-the-ear one, is it? Because you do that trick, like, a lot.
Grampa Happy Icon Look! You've got something behind your ear!
Lisa Embarrassed Icon It's just that every time you pull out the coin, I'm expected to act all surprised. It's a lot to ask of an eight-year-old.
Grampa Happy Icon It's a COIN behind your ear! Surprised?
Lisa Nagging Icon ...
Lisa Shocked Icon Wait! Grampa, this coin is made of gold! Where did you get it?
Grampa Icon I told you -- magic! And speaking of magic, wanna see a trick? I think you've got something behind your ear...
Lisa Surprised Icon Not now! I want to find out where this coin came from. I've never seen anything so beautiful...

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 2[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Lisa Happy Icon Grampa! This gold coin is an ultra-rare 1879 U.S. Triple Eagle! It's priceless! Where did you get it?
Grampa Icon Well, the last time I wore these pants was a hundred-some years ago. The late eighteen hundreds, it was. During the Springfield Gold Rush.
Lisa Curious Icon How old ARE you?
Grampa Icon I'm however old I need to be to make the story work, silly!
Homer Icon Guys! I came as soon as I heard a relative had money! What's up?
Grampa Icon Lisa's all excited because of a gold coin I found years ago in a saloon in Old Springfield.
Homer Happy Icon Then there's only one thing to do -- rebuild Old Springfield and find more wonderful gold!
Lisa Curious Icon Hold on. Even if there WAS gold in Old Springfield, why would a replica built today have any gold in it?
Homer Sarcastic Icon It's video game logic, sweetie. Trust me. There'll be gold.
Lisa Nagging Icon But--
Homer Serious Icon Shhhhh. Video game logic.

End[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Angry Icon Hey, hey, hey! How come youse built another bar in town? You trying to compete with Moe's?
Homer Icon It's not a bar, Moe. It's a wild west SALOON.
Moe Worried Icon It's got horse poop on the stairs, rotgut in unmarked bottles, guys shootin' each other over poker hands -- it's way nicer than my place!
Homer Icon Relax. We're just rebuilding Old Springfield so that there'll be piles of gold in Today Springfield.
Moe Shocked Icon Gold? Did you say GOLD?
Homer Guilty Icon Shoot. I did. Well, as long as the gold remains a secret between you and me.
Quimby Happy Icon GOLD?! I always wanted to be Mayor of a boomtown. I declare the Springfield Gold Rush officially open!
Quimby Smug Icon Gold mining land claims are available for lease from the Town Hall.

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 3[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Icon Get your gold rush supplies right here! Pick axes! Gold pans! Long johns with backside flap -- pre-stunk, like you've been prospecting in them for years!
Apu Happy Icon And guns, guns, guns! Show those claim jumpers you once called friends that gold fever's got you good!

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 4[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Angry Icon I can barely move -- there's people everywhere. Hey, idiots, get off the street! We're trying to have a Gold Rush here!
Lisa Icon They just want to strike it rich, same as you.
Homer Annoyed Icon Come on. I love money WAY more than these guys. Oh, they'll all SAY they like money, but you can tell they don't really mean it. Not like me.
Homer Serious Icon Time to thin the herd.
Homer Icon Hey, Carl! I found an old treasure map. It said “to find the gold, turn east at the Kwik-E-Mart and walk one billion paces. Then start digging.”
Carl Happy Icon Thanks for the tip, Homes!
Homer Happy Icon Lenny! Did you hear the rumor? There's gold in them thar hills!
Lenny Yay Icon Them hills right thar?
Homer Icon No, them other hills just past them thar hills. Head thar-a-way, and keep going for a few weeks. You'll know you're thar when you get thar.
Lenny Yay Icon Gold, here I come!
Homer Scared Icon Lisa, quick! Try to figure out where the gold really is. Use your book larnin'!
Lisa Annoyed Icon Only if you stop talking like that.

All Objectives Started[]

Character Dialogue
Carl Angry Icon You lied to me, Homer Simpson!
Homer Sarcastic Icon Now, now. I did what any friend would -- gladly screw a pal over a few bucks.
Lenny Angry Icon I'd sure love to have a bare knuckles brawl with you. But I feel that a wild west saloon is no proper place for such behavior. I feel this strongly.
Homer Angry Icon Are you kidding? Let's brawl!

End[]

Character Dialogue
Lisa Icon I couldn't find any clues to the whereabouts of the gold, Dad.
Homer Angry Icon Not now, sweetie. Daddy's brawling.
Homer Serious Icon Be a lamb and hand me that breakaway chair, will you?
Lisa Deadpan Icon If you need me, I'll be cowering behind the bar with the prostitutes.

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 5[]

Character Dialogue
Apu Icon You, sir! Are you a desperate fortune-seeker whose lust for gold has weakened his grip on reality?
Homer Icon I like to think so.
Apu Happy Icon Well, you can't be a genuine sourdough without my authentic, old-timey, Wild West knick-knacks and accoutrements!
Homer Thoughtful Icon It's true. Movie cowboys never shut up about their precious accoutrements.
Homer Happy Icon I want everything you got!

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 6[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Happy Icon Saloons, brawls, and opportunistic merchants. I can't imagine anything going wrong now!
Bandit Icon Thanks for leading me to your home you bumbling oaf!
Bandit Icon Now gimme all your cash, 4k OLED ultra-thin internet-ready telly-visions and whiskey!
Homer Annoyed Icon I can take the being robbed at knifepoint, gunpoint, and even fingerpoint.
Homer Angry Icon But Homer J. Simpson does not stand for having his alcohol stolen at anything-point!
Homer Scared Icon A little help Skyfinger??
Bandits are hiding out in Springfield. Tap on hideouts to clear them out and then tap to capture them!

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 7[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Prospector Icon *sniff* ; *sniff-sniff*
Prospector Happy Icon I smells gold, I does.
Homer Scared Icon A prospector! These gold-crazed, rag-clad, illiterate lunatics are real pros. I gotta get rid of him.
Homer Icon Hey there, um, I'm gonna guess you're called “Stinky?”
Prospector Icon John. My name is John.
Homer Sarcastic Icon If you're prospectin' fer gold, why not stake a claim in one of my friend's towns? They're paving the streets with gold!
Prospector Icon You'd rather I clean yer friend out than you? That's pretty low.
Homer Guilty Icon Well, you know. Gold fever and all.
Prospector Happy Icon I'm only pullin' yer leg. Yee-haw! Gold! Gold gold gold!
Drop Prospectors in your friend's towns to keep them from finding your gold!
 
— System Message.


Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 8[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Angry Icon How am I supposed to find the gold with this many interruptions?
Homer Serious Icon Lisa! Did you find the gold yet?
Lisa Angry Icon No Dad, I've been trying to tell you that rebuilding Old Springfield-
Homer Annoyed Icon You Millennials and your excuses!
Lisa Shouting Icon I'm not a Millennial!
Homer Serious Icon Rejecting labels? Sounds Millennial. I'll be at the Saloon when you find the gold.

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 9[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Icon You know, life in a Wild West town isn't so bad! I mean, it ain't not so un-bad, pardner!
Marge Happy Icon Today, a man tipped his hat to me and said, “Morning, ma'am.” I'll trade a dramatic uptick in gunfights for a little common courtesy any day!
Cletus Icon It ain't no proper frontier town without dirt roads.
Cletus Icon On a paved road, what's the blood supposed to soak into? Is we bumpkins, or ain't we?

Once Upon a Time in Springfield Pt. 10[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Annoyed Icon I broke the tab off my can of Duff! This is like that movie “The Martian,” only I'm ten times more screwed than that guy ever was.
Gummy Joe Icon Perhaps Chomper could be of service?
Homer Icon You, sir, would use your only remaining tooth to open my beer can?
Gummy Joe Icon Chomper has always wondered why the good Lord spared him, while all his brothers and sisters are gone. I think now he has his answer.

End[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Ooh Icon Look! I found another gold coin!
Willie Angry Icon Give it here, Simpson! In Springfield, we share all our good fortune with others.
Homer Angry Icon Since when?
Quimby Icon Yeah, seriously. When have any of us ever shared anything?
Willie Icon Look, we can stand here all day discussing what great sharers we all are, or we can rip that coin from Homer's cold, dead hands.
Quimby Angry Icon An excellent point. Get him!
