Dialogue Edit

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 1Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	Just look at Springfield. A few years ago, there was nothing here but acres of healthy green grass.
	It was just your typical post-nuclear-catastrophe wasteland. Lush greenery as far as the eye could see.
	And now, it's a bustling town once again.
	Honestly, I'm unimpressed.
	Seriously? Look at all the houses, and decorations, and people...
	I don't see too many premium items...
	Well, no. The owner of this town really SHOULD sink more cash into the project. It's money so well spent...
	If you let two entrepreneurial guys like us loose in here, it'd be RIDICULOUS how much we'd get done.
	What are you proposing?
	I don't know. We need a project. What are kids excited about today?
	I read somewhere that they like soccer, and the color green. And positivity. They dislike rudeness and shades of green they feel are too light or too dark.
	Hmmm. Not much to go on. We need to do a little market research.
	Let's hire some kids to be our ears.

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	The results are in, and the numbers could not be clearer. Kids are into space.
	And the hottest, most trending site in all of space is a little rock called... Mars.
	Then that's where we need to go. We should organize a mission to Mars.
	Keep in mind we have zero expertise -- and zero interest, to be honest -- in rocketry, math, exploration, or the future.
	But what we do have is passion. And passion will get you to Mars faster than any rocket.
System Message	We're not joking about this. Everybody loves space. Check out our tribute to the great beyond in the store!

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 2Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	I've been doing some research, and here's what no one will tell you -- going to Mars is EXPENSIVE. It costs MONEY.
	Yes, but raising money is EASY when you have passion.
	The moment our friends in the private sector get a load of our passion, they'll be throwing money at us.

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	I told you raising $20 billion would be easy.
	And just like that... we can afford to turn on the lights.
	I agree. Besides a launch vehicle, a Mars lander, habitats capable of sustaining life on a barren rock...
	...some way to grow food there, a means of communicating with Mars, and a staff of thousands here on Earth to monitor our Mars colony...
	Other than that, all we need is astronauts.

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 3Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	We need some way to attract astronauts to our Mars mission.
	We should put on a show. Really dazzle the people. But not just any show.
	No. It should be the best show.
	I almost want to capitalize that name. The Best Show. That's how good this astronaut-finding show will be.
	We'll serve refreshments. Drinks, appetizers, handburgers...
	The word is “hamburgers.”
	That's neither here Nora, there. How's Tuesday at 9:00 PM work for you?
	It's as good a time as any other. Now let's find us some astronauts!
	I'll go! I'm your first volunteer Martian!
	Former astronaut Homer Simpson! What an honor.
	Last time I went to space, I almost killed everybody.
	Great, great. We'll give your application serious consideration.

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	I think that went well. But why so many questions about what we'll do if we find life on Mars? I thought Martians were science fiction.
	I wouldn't know. I'm not a sci-fi guy. Space stories always bored me, frankly.
System Message	Skeptical about life on Mars, eh? Well wait until they get a load of this guy.

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 4Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	The thing about space rockets is, if you don't build them EXACTLY right, they blow up.
	It's really no different than when we started that coffee company.
	Refresh my memory -- why didn't that coffee idea work?
	It would have, except it turns out there are already three coffee stores on every street corner in the civilized world.
	That's right. Circling back to this Mars fiasco, why don't we use some of our second-tier astronaut candidates to test out the equipment?

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	Were you as deeply moved as I was by the sight of most of our Mars equipment not blowing up when tested?
	A 65% success rate. It's pretty awe-inspiring.
	So the only remaining question is: who do we blast off to Mars for the rest of their lives?
	All I know for certain is: not Homer Simpson. Other than that, it's wide open, my friend.
System Message	Tune into this week's Simpsons and find out who the real candidates will be. Sunday 8/7 Central on FOX!

Trivia Edit

• Despite part 4 requiring level 11 to trigger, the need for Town Hall in part 3 makes the actual level needed 20.
