The Real Moms of Springfield Full Dialogue Walkthrough

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Now that we’re nearing the end of The Real Moms of Springfield mini-event, I thought it would be a great time to take a look back at the dialogue (story-line) that took place over the last two weeks.

Things kick off with Ruth Powers earning a “get out jail free” card for the weekend and trying to stir up trouble with the MOMs of Springfield, and we end with poor Jerri Mackleberry trying to remember which twin is which.  So let’s take a look at all the twists and turns this mini-event had to offer…

The Real Moms of Springfield Intro
Autostarts

Ruth: Marge! If it isn’t my favorite blue-haired matriarch.
Marge: Ruth?! I thought you were in jail? Did you get out for good behavior?
Ruth: No, I beat up six inmates while I was inside. But Quimby pardons ladies for a week every Mother’s Day to be with their kids.
Quimby: Err, uh, you never know if any of them are mine.
Marge: Your mother?
Quimby: No, my kids.

Ruth: Attention, residents of Evergreen Terrace, I present to you a brand-new deal!
Homer: Finally! Wait, what was the old deal?
Ruth: The old deal was mothers being treated as second-class citizens!
Marge: Hrm, that’s some pretty strong wording. But if it means I get better treatment, and stuff, then count me in!

Ruth: Alright, ladies, first order of business… we need to form a coalition, something to sound more official.
Mrs. Prince: What about Movement of Mothers?
Bernice Hibbert: “MOMs” — that does sound more official!
Ruth: Ugh, fine. I guess it doesn’t matter what we’re called as long as we have equal rights–
Luann: But what about the gifts?!
Ruth: Gifts? What gifts?
Luann: Every Mother’s Day, Milhouse gives me some lame handmade candle. He tries to pass them off as “artisanal”, but the craftsmanship is abhorrent.
Mrs. Prince: My Martin gets all A’s in his classes, but his Mother’s Day Gifts are B.S.! Setting this right should be our first act!

Ruth: Come on, Marge, you must see through this. What means more to you… some cheap handmade tchotchke, or getting to join the military?
Marge: Hmm, I’m pretty sure I’ve already been in the military. I’m kind of leaning toward the well-thought-out gifts option.

Marge: It’s… another one of those Kitchen Carnivals? Does this count as a repeat gift?
Homer: No, this one is a lot bigger. See? I deep-fried the old one for scale.
Bart: And I know I’ve given you macaroni art, but this is penne art!
Marge: Hrm, I think the other mothers were right. We need to reset the expectations for what good gift-giving looks like.
Ruth: Again, I don’t care about gifts. But I like your energy.

Ruth: I’m ready to present the newest deal, New Deal 2.0. Are you ready to call the MOMs, Marge?
Marge: I don’t mind meeting at the coffee shop, but I don’t want to cause a ruckus. What if we distract an aspiring novelist who’s there working on the next great Hollywood adaptation?
Ruth: Great art follows the revolution, and the revolution begins at the coffee shop at noon. Make sure to call ahead.

Ruth: Welcome, MOMs, and let me first say that it moves me to see so many women here and ready to participate.
Helen Lovejoy: Oh, I’m just here to be as close to the drama as possible.
Gil: And I’m here because they let you use the restroom without buying anything.
Ruth: See? This is the kind of male privilege I’m talking about.
Marge: Privilege? He’s using hand soap as hair gel…

Ruth: Imagine a few days where the men of Evergreen Terrace were gone. Our quality of life would go through the roof! Now, imagine if all the men left Springfield. Okay, now imagine a world of no men. Did I go too far?
Helen Lovejoy: I’m done imagining it –I’m ready for it to be a real thing! My deadbeat husband only works one day a week!
Ruth: Sounds like Helen is in. Who else is with me?!

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 4
Autostarts

Homer: I have to go to Weasel Island for the day? Last time I went there I got sick from drinking too much seawater. Or not enough, I can’t remember which it was… or anything from that weekend.
Marge: Well, it’s part of the proposal Ruth passed around. It’s only for a day anyways. That way all of us women can enjoy a brunch together, and then take the kids shopping for better gifts! I think I might like this new era.

Lisa: This is terrible! The only stores left at this mall are candle stores, candle booths and candle kiosks.
Bart: You’re telling me. It’s no fun trying to shoplift from a kiosk.
Lisa: Ruth, how much longer is this going to last? I can’t take anymore brunches — the bottomless Shirley Temples are giving me cavities.
Ruth: It’ll last as long as we want it to. There’s no return boat from Weasel Island, so they’ll meet any demands we set! *maniacal laugh*
Lisa: It’s time to use my most clever disguise: a wig and glasses!

Jake Boyman: Dad? Dad! I mean, Homer! If you don’t make nice with Ruth Powers, you’ll never make it back to Springfield! You won’t get to see Mom, I mean your wife — your daughter Lisa’s mother. Man, farce is confusing…
Homer: I don’t know, it’s pretty sweet on this all-male island. We all threw our toothbrushes overboard as soon as we got into port!
Jake Boyman: Maybe you should talk to Mom on the phone.
Marge: Homer! I just wanted, like, one good manicure. I didn’t mean for it to get this extreme.  You men need to be more thoughtful, but us moms can’t be so selfish either.
Homer: You’re right, Marge. But as our last selfish act before we make things right, we’re going to stay here until AFTER Mother’s Day!
Marge: Deal!

Marge: So… Ruth might have pushed things, but at least it brought our family just a bit closer.
Homer: Not really, I bonded with a cool kid with awesome hair.
Lisa: That was me wearing a wig!
Homer: It couldn’t be! He was also wearing glasses!
Lisa: *rolls eyes*
Homer: I’m just glad we negotiated “extended island vacations” during Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and most birthdays.
Bart: Why come back at all?
Homer: That was one of the deals. Men have to be back to take the blame for how crummy all these holidays are. It’s our civic duty.
Bart: Mom, Lisa and I wanted to give you these cookies we baked for you that turned out more like weird scones.
Marge: Aw, thanks, you two. You know I’ve kept every handmade gift you’ve given me in a special bin under the sink that I then take out to the curb. I can’t wait to add this one.

Twinception Pt. 1
Jerri starts

Jerri: It’s been so long, I can’t wait to see my family. Especially my twin daughters!
Terri: Did you miss us, Mom?
Jerri: Of course! I’m so lucky that there’s twice as much of you to love!
Sherri and Terri: Aww!
Jerri: …and twice as much to remember. I forgot which twin was which… I need to practice my twin name game.

Jerri starts

Jerri: Okay, Terri has a purple bow, while Sherri has… also a purple bow. Hmm, what about physical differences? Ooh, Sherri’s taller! Oh wait, Terri just has her shoes off…How can I tell them apart? I know, I’ll stab one of them…into this quilt with thread, then the other. I’m talking about sewing their likenesses with thread and needle, of course. Good thing I clarified that to myself.
Make Jerry Mackleberry Needle a Twin Pattern- 4hrs, Earns $260, 70xp
Jerri: Well that was no use — I still don’t know who’s who and now I have a repetitive stress injury. Why must everything in my life be repetitive??

Twinception Pt. 3
Jerri starts

Terri: Mom, can I have my allowance?
Jerri: Of course… daughter.
Terri: Can I have it via personal check? Just make it out to me.
Jerri: Uhh… sure, just let me start by writing the last four letters first… E-R-R-I…You know what? I’ll just make it out to “Cash”. It’ll be better for your tax bracket.
Terri: Really?
Jerri: Maybe? Probably be easier to learn tax code than admit to my daughters I don’t know who is who. Where’s my quilt?!
Make Jerri Mackleberry Make a Cheat Sheet Pattern- 4hrs, Earns $260, 70xp
Sherri: What’s for dinner tonight?
Jerri: Well *eyes check quilt cheat sheet*, I’m making your favorite spaghetti, Sherri.
