Here’s what’s in this post:
• The Dialog
• Basic info
• Questline with Dialog
• Permanent tasks
Lets get started then, shall we . . .
The Dialog:
The Deal:
Gil: Ol’ Gil here. And I see another outbreak of “clown fever”!
Dr Hibbert: Again? We’re still recovering from the Treehouse of Horror incident!Gil: Uhh, no. I was just making a pitch for Heyus Heyus, the clown university…
Dr Hibbert: Those poor clowns. You’d be shocked at the number of them that wind up in my hospital after their funny business goes wrong.
Gil: C’mon Doc, you’re cramping my sale here.
Gil: Well, what do you say? Wanna make Springfield the new home of Heyus Heyus? Ol’ Gil’s not getting any younger.
Say No:
Gil: Aww, shucks. It’s back to sleeping in the dorms.
Dr Hibbert: I wouldn’t recommend that. Clown dormitories are susceptible to bed bugs.
Gil: How about giving me a room at your hospital?
Dr Hibbert: You misunderstood me. YOU’RE the source of the bed bugs. *chuckles*
Say Yes:
Gil: That’s just swell. Now I can afford to move out of the lion’s cage. Between you and me, he’s a bit needy.
Lion: *roars*
Gil: I told you that hot dog string was mine. Just because it hit the floor didn’t mean I wasn’t gonna eat it.
