Dialogue[]

The End of the Beginning Pt. 1[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Maggie Uparms Icon "*suck* *suck*"
Marge Happy Icon "Oh, you want to go for a walk with Mommy? That's one job I'd love to do!"
Bart Confused Icon "Wait, I'm sure I've seen you carrying her around town before."
Marge Sad Icon "That was just a sack of flour."
Lisa Curious Icon "And all those Mommy & Me classes?"
Marge Scared Icon "Also the flour. I needed to get out of the house. It's not easy taking care of a bag of flour twenty-four hours a day."

All Objectives Started[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Happy Icon "It's so much nicer carrying a real baby than a flour baby. Finally I can show you off to all the gluten-free moms!"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 2[]

Character Dialogue
Maggie Uparms Icon "*suck* *suck*"
Marge Annoyed Icon "Again? Sweetie, we just finished a walk five minutes ago."
Maggie Uparms Icon "*suck* *suck*"
Marge Sad Icon "If I wanted a job that took eight hours a day, I'd get one that paid."
Marge Happy Icon "Just kidding. Who's ever heard of a "working mother"?"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 3[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Maggie Uparms Icon "*suck* *suck*"
Marge Sleepy Icon "Ugh, Maggie -- I simply can't go on another walk with you. Maybe if there was a stroller in this game, or at least a Baby Bjorn."
Marge Happy Icon "How about I get your Daddy to walk you instead?"
Homer Happy Icon "Sorry, I'm already busy watching Maggie. She's holding my beer and showing me this really interesting recipe for cookies."
Marge Surprised Icon "That's the bag of flour!"

End[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Furious Icon "You tricked me, Flour Maggie. You'll rue this day... or should I say roux this day!"
Luigi Happy Icon "Hahahaha! That's-a funny-a one-a! Finally a joke-a for me, Luigi!"
Homer Thoughtful Icon "Glad you liked it. I said it, but I don't get it."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 4[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Lisa Surprised Icon "Mom, maybe you should enroll Maggie in daycare. Outsourcing our responsibilities as human beings is an American tradition."
Marge Sad Icon "Let my kids be raised by someone else? Wouldn't that be acknowledging my failure as a mother?"
Bart Happy Icon "Can someone drive me down to the police station? Wiggum left the lens cap on when he took my mug shot last week."
Marge Sad Icon "Then again, trying something new with parenting isn't always a bad idea."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Confused Icon "I had no idea how important daycare is for babies."
Marge Surprised Icon "Did you know that babies that don't attend daycare are 100% less likely to form memories in daycare?"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 5[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Sad Icon "I didn't want to enroll Maggie in a daycare where all they do is paint, clap their hands and listen to music."
Marge Happy Icon "But then I found out about preschools, where children learn to paint, clap their hands and listen to music."
Lisa Nagging Icon "But isn't preschool just the same thing as daycare?"
Marge Icon "No sweetie, they have different names -- one which sounds like we're good parents, and one which sounds like we're lazy."
Lisa Shouting Icon "But they do the same things! The only difference is that daycare is a little bit cheaper."
Homer Sarcastic Icon "Cheaper, eh?"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 6[]

Character Dialogue
Marge Sad Icon "Maggie was too young for any of the schools I applied to."
Marge Angry Icon "There's a bunch of elementary schools in this town, even a high school, but nothing for pre-K."
Homer Thoughtful Icon "We did get into the Stonecutter's Daycare, but that was a limited-time building from a long time ago. Almost no one's got it."
Marge Serious Icon "There's only one thing to do. We need to build something new."
Homer Happy Icon "Got it. I'll build the fire department -- you get the basket!"
Marge Annoyed Icon "That's not what I meant."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 7[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "I'm sorry, but we can't accept your daughter Maggie. We received your application too late."
Homer Shocked Icon "Too late?! This place just came into existence!"
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "If you loved your child, you'd have found a way around that. As it is now, our wait list is several years long."
Marge Surprised Icon "So I needed to apply when I was pregnant?"
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "No, you needed to apply when you first signed up for ReadyToSettle.com."
Homer Furious Icon "This is stupid! And I know stupid -- I'm the guy who blew up this town in the first place!"
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "Are you threatening to let that happen again if I don't let Maggie into our school?"
Homer Sarcastic Icon "I wasn't. Should I?"
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "No, we would never kowtow to the threat of violence. We do however kowtow to the threat of stupidity."
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "The only way we can ensure someone with as dangerously inept a parent as yourself doesn't become dangerously inept herself is to educate her."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Icon "Wow. My stupidity scares people into giving me what I want? I'm just like President Bush!"
Mrs. Sinclair Icon "Bush isn't president anymore."
Homer Confused Icon "He's not?! Is he king now?"
Mrs. Sinclair Surprised Icon "Maggie can start today! Please, Mr. Simpson, just don't go to work."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 8[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Worried Icon "The IRS finally found out that I faked my own death, so I've got to call in all your bar tabs."
Homer Annoyed Icon "Hey Moe, remember that time I blew up the town?"
Moe Shocked Icon "No need to go crazy, Homer. I'll just make up a fake dependent I never see because my fake ex-wife got custody."
Moe Sneaky Icon "How about Hazel? I've always wanted to lose custody of a Hazel."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 9[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Squeaky Voice Teen Sad Icon "Sir, you can't park there."
Homer Serious Icon "Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I blew up the town?"
Sea Captain Aghast Icon "Yarrr, we have a quota of five hundred shrimp per all-you-can-eat session."
Homer Annoyed Icon "Blew Up The Town."
Quimby Annoyed Icon "There is no possible way we can name a holiday after you!"
Homer Happy Icon "B.U.T.T."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Quimby Proud Icon "Close the banks! I pronounce today Homer Day!"
Homer Happy Icon "B.U…"
Quimby Embarrassed Icon "The first in the eight day celebration we call Homerka!"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 10[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Furious Icon "Mr. Burns! I demand a raise… as well as paid time off for Homerka, Rosh Homershana, and Simpsom Kipur."
Homer Serious Icon "Keep in mind that I'm that guy who blew up the town, and that will make you say yes to me for some reason."
Mr. Burns Diabolical Icon "No, you’re the man who THINKS he blew up the town. The truth is you had nothing to do with it."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 11[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Thoughtful Icon "I distinctly remember destroying the town. There's even a video of it you can watch in the front of the store menu."
Mr. Burns Annoyed Icon "Pish. You were at your workstation... or should I say "doesn't work"-station."
Mr. Burns Icon "I had it disabled years ago, on the recommendation of every other safety inspector at the plant."
Mr. Burns Diabolical Icon "What you've been working on is nothing more than a child's toy with spinny wheels and lights that blink when you push the big button."
Homer Ooh Icon "Oh!!! So THAT'S how you get the lights to blink."

End[]

Character Dialogue
Ultrahouse3000 Avatar Icon "Sing together, A, B, C..."
Ultrahouse3000 Avatar Icon "You're the head of plant safety…"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 12[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Icon "One Duff beer for you and one Duff pureed beets for the baby. That'll be 12 dollars."
Homer Sarcastic Icon "Put it on my tab, and then rip up that tab unless you want me to blow up the town again."
Moe Exhausted Icon "Nice try. Lenny and Carl overheard your conversation with Mr. Burns and told me all about it."
Carl Sad Icon "Sorry, buddy. Slow news day."
Homer Sad Icon "Thanks a lot! Just wait ‘til everyone thinks YOU blew up the universe when YOU really didn't and YOU want to keep it a secret!"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 13[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Shocked Icon "So if Homer didn't blow up Springfield, who did?"
Homer Confused Icon "I guess we'll never know, unless someone who witnessed the events miraculously steps forward. Perhaps at this very moment..."
Maggie Icon "*suck* *suck*"
Lenny Surprised Icon "Hey, I think Maggie's trying to tell us something!"
Carl Surprised Icon "Say it again slowly."
Maggie Icon "*suck* ... *suck*"
Moe Sad Icon "Okay, that didn't work. Why don't you just draw it on this napkin?"
Geralddrawing 01
Homer Confused Icon "So the one-eyebrowed baby blew up the town? How is that possible?"
Moe Sad Icon "Well, Maggie DID shoot Mr. Burns. And there's that baby that talks in the E*Trade ads. Kids today are precocious."
Homer Scared Icon "We've got to go to Maggie's preschool and look for this evil baby."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 14[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Surprised Icon "Check out what I found in the Unibrow Baby's cubby. It looks like a manifesto!"
Lenny Anguished Icon "I can't read this. It's all illegible crayon scribbles."
Carl Surprised Icon "The only thing I can tell for certain is that whoever wrote this is a deranged sicko."
Moe Angry Icon "That's not the manifesto -- that's my memoir "Why Not Moe?"."
Moe Icon "Here's the thing the baby wrote."
Lenny Yay Icon "Oh, okay. This is much more legible."
Geralddrawing 02 Geralddrawing 03 Geralddrawing 04
Homer Confused Icon "Who is this “ROSA"?"
Mr. Burns Annoyed Icon "You're not pronouncing it right! You need to roll the R. R-r-r-r-r-osa!"
Homer Surprised Icon "Mr. Burns?! Why are you here?"
Mr. Burns Icon "I'm looking for the nuclear plant's next Vice President of Operations."
Homer Happy Icon "You mean I'm getting promoted?"
Mr. Burns Shouting Icon "Get real, fopdoodle! This job requires someone more youthful and full of energy!"

The End of the Beginning Pt. 15[]

Character Dialogue
Mr. Burns Happy Icon "This daycare is excellent! I haven't had such a steady supply of child labor since the plant did "Take Your Child to Work Month.""
Homer Happy Icon "Oh yeah, Maggie loved that "screw in tiny screws for an hour" game!"
Moe Shocked Icon "Wait a minute! You force babies to do manual labor at the plant?"
Mr. Burns Diabolical Icon "I don't, no. That's why I built R.O.S.A. -- the Robotic Offspring-Sitting Automaton."
Lenny Icon "Oh right, that was the silver lady in the manifesto."
Carl Surprised Icon "Okay, enough explaining! Let's get back to reading it already."
Geralddrawing 05 Geralddrawing 06 Geralddrawing 07
Moe Worried Icon "Wow, this R.O.S.A. looks like a real task-master, making those babies do her bidding."
Homer Sarcastic Icon "I would never let someone order ME around like that."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 16[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Thoughtful Icon "So Mr. Burns built a robot to exploit babies, one of the babies got mad, and the whole universe blew up. It all makes sense."
Carl Sad Icon "None of that makes sense, Homer."
Mr. Burns Annoyed Icon "Especially the part about my robot exploiting babies. She was incentivizing them!"
Mr. Burns Icon "She gave them sugar to make them work, Benadryl to make them sleep, and donuts as a reward for a job well done."
Homer Slobbering Icon "Mmm... donuts. Also, mmm... sugar and mmm... Benadryl."
Lenny Sad Icon "It seems like we're still missing a piece of the story."
Mr. Burns Icon "Well, R.O.S.A. had a built-in nanny-cam. If we could recover her pieces, perhaps we could see what happened right before the explosion."
Homer Sad Icon "*moans* I knew this was going to turn into collecting things."

Parts Found[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Woohoo Icon "We found a part! It looks like... a leg."
Lisa Nagging Icon "It's an arm, Dad."
Homer Confused Icon "Nope. I’m pretty sure it's a leg. This robot must be tiny!"
Lisa Sad Icon "It is not tiny! That's an arm..."
Homer Happy Icon "Let's keep looking everyone, only a few parts to go! Almost there."
Lisa Annoyed Icon "Yes, let's rebuild the tiny robot and find out what happened."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 17[]

Character Dialogue
Mr. Burns Sad Icon "We've found all the R.O.S.A. pieces except one... her feather duster."
Lenny Surprised Icon "What does she even have a feather duster for? She's a nanny, not a maid."
Mr. Burns Icon "Children get dusty too. But we need that piece -- it contains the surrogate motherboard."
Carl Sad Icon "But it's impossible! We've looked everywhere!"
Moe Worried Icon "Everywhere in our MAIN Springfield. But there's one place we haven't looked..."
Lenny Anguished Icon "Oh God, no. You don't mean..."
Moe Sneaky Icon "That's right. That place we dread... that haunts us in our nightmares... that we pretend doesn't even exist..."
Moe Worried Icon "Krustyland."
Homer Horrified Icon "Nooooooooooo!!!!"
Moe Shocked Icon "Nooooooooooo!!!!"
Lenny Surprised Icon "Nooooooooooo!!!!"
Moe Sad Icon "Let's just draw straws and get this over with."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 18[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Woohoo Icon "Woo-hoo! I drew the short straw so I don't have to go, and all you long straw guys are stuck going to Krustyland."
Carl Surprised Icon "That ain't the way drawing straws work, Homer."
Homer Horrified Icon "ARRGGGGHHH!"
Homer Annoyed Icon "Fine, I'll go. If the shuttle crashes on the way to Krustyland, tell Marge and the kids I died happy because I didn't make it to Krustyland."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 19[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Sad Icon "Ugh, this place is awful… and it’s so far from Springfield. That shuttle bus took like 16 seconds!"
Homer Annoyed Icon "It's the only amusement park so boring that even the gangs won't come here!"

End[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Sarcastic Icon "Bye, Krustyland. Forever this time. I'm serious."
Squeaky Voice Teen Sad Icon "Would you like your hand stamped so you can re-enter?"
Homer Confused Icon "Has anyone ever asked to re-enter this place?"
Squeaky Voice Teen Sad Icon "No. Thank you for not punching me in the face for asking."

The End of the Beginning Pt. 21[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Sad Icon "Okay, we've assembled all the pieces. Let's turn this robot on."
R.O.S.A Icon "Hello, I am R.O.S.A. What can I do for you, mister?"
Moe Icon "Ooh, mister. I like her already."
Homer Icon "We need to see your video from right before the explosion."
R.O.S.A Icon "Of course. Please enter the password."
Homer Confused Icon "Password?"

All Objectives Started[]

Character Dialogue
Moe Sad Icon "Did you try "Excellent"?"
Homer Sad Icon "Yeah, it didn't work."
Moe Icon "Try "Excellent1"."
Homer Happy Icon "That's it! His catchphrase plus the year he was born."

End[]

The End of the Beginning Pt. 22[]

Start[]

Character Dialogue
Homer Confused Icon "I'm confused. What were those things the one-eyebrowed baby put in R.O.S.A.'s battery compartment?"
Lenny Icon "Fuel rods. You know, the things your job is to keep from overheating?"
Homer Ooh Icon "Oh, that makes sense."
Homer Confused Icon "Now that that's clarified, can you explain everything else that happened in the video?"
Carl Happy Icon "No. But if anyone asks me at a dinner party, I'm going to say yes so that people don't think I'm stupid."
Moe Icon "Regardless of whether that scene had a meaning or not, the important thing is that we spend hours debating its meaning in the Tapped Out forums!"

End[]

Homer Guilty Icon "Oh yeah... we better go find her then."
