Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping Rev. Lovejoy's exclamation mark
Tapped Out Rev. Lovejoy Icon.png Ah, Lisa Simpson! You wanted to speak to me about a spiritual crisis. Perhaps you've come to hear a humble 'I told you so'.
Tapped Out Lisa Icon.png Actually I'm trying to find meaning in this world of daily drudgery.
Tapped Out Rev. Lovejoy Icon.png All you need to do is trust in the wisdom of the Almighty Finger. I mean, God.
Tapped Out Lisa Icon.png Actually, Springfield exploded and then returned. I've been thinking this might be proof of the Buddhist concept of Samsara -
Tapped Out Rev. Lovejoy Icon.png Oh Lord. Is this another conversation where you try to convince me Buddha was just a chubby Jesus?

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping Lenny's exclamation mark
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png Wow, we suffered a fiery nuclear death and now we're reborn! I guess the Buddhist theory of reincarnation is right.
Tapped Out Carl Icon.png Yeah. And we came back as ourselves. Boy, we must've really screwed up the last time.
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png But we did everything right. Gave to the poor. Helped old ladies cross the street. Made sure our magazines were, at the minimum, barely legal.
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png I was hoping to at least be reincarnated as you.
Tapped Out Carl Icon.png I don't understand it either. We need to go someplace where we can contemplate the mysteries of our existence.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark
Tapped Out Moe Icon.png It's great to have my closest friends back. Now, settle your tab before I stab out your lungs.
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png But Moe, all our money burned up in the explosions.
Tapped Out Moe Icon.png So did my bar tabs... but I still expect you to pay them!
Tapped Out Homer Icon.png If you need money, you guys should get your old jobs back at the plant. Then you can cover for me when I'm never there.
Task: "Send Lenny to Do a Plant Shift". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours.
Task: "Send Carl to Do a Plant Shift". The job takes place at the Control Building and takes 16 hours.
Tapped Out Smithers Icon.png Thank you both for reporting to work.
Tapped Out Smithers Icon.png Unfortunately, with so few people in this town, and my recent raise, we only have enough money to pay one of you.
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png Only one? Well, then I say give the job to Carl.
Tapped Out Carl Icon.png I say give the job to me as well.
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png Hey! I thought you were going to do that thing where you say no, give him the job, and then we argue over something good.
Tapped Out Carl Icon.png Nope. Did that thing where I just take it.

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping Lenny's exclamation mark
Tapped Out Lenny Icon.png Guess I have to rely on my fallback teaching job. Good thing I'm an expert on how chew tobacco.
Tapped Out Carl Icon.png I knew you'd bounce back. Speaking of bouncing and things that have back, I have a date with your sister.
