Dialogue

Prologue: Part 1

Character Dialogue
File:Barticon.png "I think our house is haunted. Last night I heard ghostly moans and shrieks, and I saw a strange figure draped in chains."

"That was me wearing a chain of 50 sausage links. The shrieking was me later realizing I'd eaten them all."
File:Lisaicon.png "As always, there's a pefectly logical although disturbing explanation."

"Yes. But there were also ghosts."
File:Margeicon.png "What?! Our house really is haunted? We better call in a trained professional."

"We can't afford that. Let's go see an unlicensed quack."

Prologue: Part 2

Gypsy: "So, you seek the old gypsy's help because you are troubled by ghosts."
Gypsy: "And yet when I ring your doorbell selling berbal supplements, it's "nobody home, gypsy.""
Marge: "Please, just tell us why we're being haunted."
Gypsy: "The spirits are angry, and seek justice for wrongs done to them in their Earthly lives. And ghost justice involves possessing people - it's neat to see!"
Gypsy: "I'll tell you how to get rid of them if you buy 10 jars of my house gingko blend."
Homer: "Nobody home, gypsy."
Lisa: "What if we were to just pop the ghosts. Then we could collect their "ghostly organofluid outflow, or GOO."
Gypsy: "Very smart, little girl. I foretell that in the future you will have trouble finding a date. How did you learn about GOO, anyway?"
Lisa: "Google."

Popping Ghosts

Homer: "A flaming hoop! I better save this in case someday I get poodles that want to jump through things."

Homer has put the Flaming Hoop in the attic and disconnected the smoke detector so it won't keep annoying him by going off. Collect other unique items to unlock a special prize.

Homer: "What is that thing? It's simultaneously cute and terrifying, like my daughter Maggie."
Professor Frink: "It's a Gremlin, a creature so unsafe an American-made car was named after it."
Professor Frink: "They're attracted by GOO like a senior citizen is drawn to pureed hamburger."
Homer: "Hey, do you think if I set this little guy free in the other Springfields it would steal me some of their GOO?"
Professor Frink: "Either that or make their school buses crash."
Homer: "Worth a try."

Release Gremlins in your friends' towns to earn extra GOO and possibly destroy school buses.

Epilogue

Homer: "Man, I popped ten ghosts and they keep coming. What is there, a ghost bubble machine somewhere?"
Marge: "We'll get our friends to help pop ghosts, and make sure they get nice rewards. May some pop-corn!" *giggles*
Homer: "I get it. "Pop" cause you pop them, and "corn" cause that joke's corny."
