Intro quest: The Warm Days of Summer

The Warm Days of Summer:

Kent Brockman: …with that, Springfield and the tri-city area expect great weather for the next few weeks.
Kent Brockman: And someone please tell me why this award-winning action news anchor is doing weather?
Kent Brockman: My producers tell me our regular weather guy…never learned his name, quit.
Kent Brockman: He’s smart to quit. I’m done. Everyone watching, go outside and see the weather for yourselves!
Moe: Aw, crud. Nice weather means people enjoy BBQs, throw Frisbees, and spend time with their lousy families! Which means they spend less time in this lousy dump.
Barney: There’s also water parks, zoos, strawberry festivals…
Homer: That’s too much fresh air for me.
Lenny: *bursting in* Sky Finger’s back, and it’s got a new building!
Moe: Sky Finger’s always givin’ me the finger when I don’t need it!

Moe: Barney’s right. None of my regular bums can afford a place like that. This ain’t gonna be so bad after all.

Prize track: Tee’s Up parts 1 to 5

Tee’s Up, part 1:

Quimby: Ahh, Springfield Glen. I’ve made many memories and closed many business deals on those links.
Fat Tony: I too have fond memories. Many of these are buried under the sand trap on the 14th hole.
Quimby: Say, want to play a round or two?
Fat Tony: And walk on the graves of my enemies? Alas, I should not be spotted in the vicinity.
Quimby: All right, guess it’s just me. I’d like my old regular tee time, please.
Squeaky Voice Teen: One moment. *tapping on keyboard* Uh, sir? There’s a bit of a problem…
Squeaky Voice Teen: You’ve been a member of Springfield Glen for over a decade, but we have no record of your dues ever being paid.
Quimby: There must be some mistake.
Squeaky Voice Teen: That’s what the computer is saying, sir.

Quimby: But the building just arrived! It didn’t exist prior to today.
Blue Haired Lawyer: And yet, you collected taxes on this property before its return to Springfield.
Blue Haired Lawyer: If you force the club to litigate, you will lose.
Quimby: This is a new feeling for me — being taken advantage of by my constituents — the very ones I take advantage of!
Blue Haired Lawyer: However, the club has agreed, if you pay your back dues, they will reinstate your membership.
Quimby: Fine. I’ll get them their money, and then we’ll see who has the last laugh. Ha-ha er…Ha-er ha!

Quimby: I’m looking for an overstuffed bag full of cash I left here.

Quimby: Yes! That’s it!
Miss Springfield: I thought the $ stood for Mi$$ $pringfield.

Quimby: I need to go IN to fix that issue!
Blue Haired Lawyer: Chief Wiggum, there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding.
Quimby: Ha! In your face, officer of the law!
Wiggum: There’s too much drama here. I’m going back to the squad car for a cat nap.
Blue Haired Lawyer: My apologies, Mayor Quimby.
Quimby: That’s all right. Besides, I’ve brought my membership dues.

Quimby: So I ran around town with this large sack of money for nothing?
Snake: Not for nothing. Yoink! *snatches the sack out of Quimby’s hands and runs* You just helped me!

Reward: 100 $$s, 10 XP and Mystery Box token

Tee’s Up, part 4:

Quimby: Those small-minded idiots at Springfield Glen think that they can have a club that I’m not allowed in? Diamond Joe Quimby gets in whatever club he wants!
Frink: Ahh, Springfield Glen…with the hoyvin-glavin-loop-de-loops and the doyvin-dodgin lower taxes to infinity!
Quimby: Lisa Simpson, please translate what this goofball is saying.
Lisa: Professor Frink is saying there’s a loophole in the tax code that lets places like Springfield Glen pay much lower property taxes than they should.
Lisa: They’re charged the same rate as ranchers and farmers who worked these lands in the 1800s for playing the fairways today.
Quimby: So, if the loophole was closed, they’d be forced to pay much more today.
Frink: Plotzing and plotting, scuttle-scheming a bucket of dastardly-do-wrongs!
Quimby: What’s he saying?
Lisa: Sounds like you’re up to no good.

Burns: Quit your waxing on and fetch my clubs. With Springfield Glen finally reopened, it’s time to reclaim my Thursday morning tee time.
Squeaky Voice Teen: Mr. Burns, may I extend to you the full hospitality of Springfield Glen Country Club and thank you for your generous—
Burns: Skip the pleasantries. Just hand me my score card.
Squeaky Voice Teen: Well, about that… With the increased membership, we’ve needed to add another golfer to your tee time.
Smithers: Oh, that won’t work for Mr. Burns. He despises most people.
