Poorly Working Title Intro
Auto starts
Scratchy: Thanks for taking the time to meet with us, Krusty and Mr. Meyers.
Roger Myers Jr.: For my two biggest stars, Itchy & Scratchy?! Of course, anything I can do for you, just say the word.
Itchy: We were wondering if we could scale back on the mallet-to-the-head bits?
Roger Myers Jr.: Absolutely not, you scum-sucking weasels!
Krusty: Without the constant threat of permanent memory loss, your cartoons are worthless!
Scratchy: But isn't there a way to... to... what was I saying?
Itchy: What about bringing Poochie back to take some of the heat off us?
Roger Myers Jr.: Bring Poochie back?! Kids hate him! He symbolizes when a game -- I mean SHOW -- has jumped the shark!
Scratchy: Until you bring him back, we're on strike!
Krusty: I don't need you! I can carry this show all by myself!
Task: Make Krusty Have a Comedic Panic Attack on Camera
Time: 6s
Location: Brown House or Krustylu Studios
Task: Make Springfielders Boo Krusty
Time: 6s
Location: Brown House or Krustylu Studios
Krusty: I can't carry a show by myself! I need breaks to sit pantsless in my dressing room!
Krusty: For some reason the censors hate when I'm pantsless on the air.
Krusty: You've got to get Poochie back!
Roger Myers Jr.: Hey Frink, you're a huge nerd, do you know how we can revive Poochie?
Professor Frink: After that, how could I refuse? We'll need to get some scripts to feed into my re-animation machine.
Krusty: I'm not paying some jerk writers to sit around eating crappy Chinese food while they churn out lazy scripts.
Roger Myers Jr.: Why pay professional writers when we can just hold a “Bring Poochie Back To Life” screenwriting contest for free?
Roger Myers Jr.: Let's use our fans' passion against them!
Quest reward: $100 and 10 XP
Poorly Working Title Pt. 1
Auto starts
Lisa: Oh brother, they're having a “Bring Poochie Back To Life” script contest. Could they be any more desperate?
Homer: I agree. I never think about Poochie anymore. Not Poochie's face, not Poochie's irreverent in-your-face attitude, not Poochie nothin'.
Homer: Poochie.
Bart: What's this file on your computer labeled “POOCHIE FAN FICTION”?
Homer: It's, uh, an elaborate plan to kill your mother and collect the insurance money!
Marge: It's not a plan to kill me. You talk about Poochie in your sleep.
Marge: This could be your chance to bring YOUR version of Poochie to life.
Bart: Don't egg him on, Mom!
Homer: Yes, DO egg me on, because I will need several omelets to fuel me on as I write a Poochie script!

Comic Book Guy: In my script, Poochie is bitten by radioactive Peter Parker and gets the ability to take competent photographs.
Kent Brockman: This just in... my Poochie script! It even has a punny title: “Death To Poochie”!
Comic Book Guy: The scripts are supposed to be about Poochie coming back to life.
Kent Brockman: What about “Life To Poochie”?
Comic Book Guy: Now your pun has lost its whole frame of reference!
On job end:
Krusty: There's hundreds of these script contest entries!
Krusty: I haven't seen stacks of paper this high since I made all that money licensing my name to that paper company.
Krusty: Who's gonna read through these?
Roger Myers Jr.: I assumed you were...
Homer: Um, excuse me? Have you picked a winner yet?
Krusty: We haven't even looked at--
Roger Myers Jr.: As a matter of fact, we just picked the winner... and it's you!
Homer: Me?!
Roger Myers Jr.: Your script was so good, we're making you head writer!
Homer: But the only thing I've ever written is a Grammy-winning album and a movie starring Mel Gibson!
Roger Myers Jr.: Don't worry, kid, you'll do great. You can start by reading all these scripts to pick out the best parts.

Professor Frink: ...which I will do myself, because people love hearing my voice for extended periods of time...

Roger Myers Jr.: They could be crying for all I care, as long as they don't change the channel! Now what ideas do ya got for the next episode?

Poochie: They give you money just to throw these cans away?

Poochie: Give it to me straight fellas, how do you get the kids to like you so much?
Scratchy: Maybe if you try, you know...trying a little less hard the kids will come around.

Lisa: It was actually pretty funny.
Bart: The parts that were supposed to make us laugh made us laugh.
Homer: Phew!
Lisa: Which makes it lame.
Bart: No one likes a lame thing that knows it's lame. That'd be like if Tim Allen started mocking himself.
Lisa: Yeah, the smugness factor for us is gone. You screwed up, Dad -- you made the show sorta okay.
Homer: ...

Recycling to the EXTREME! Pt. 2
Auto starts
Homer: Bart, bring me another beer.
Lisa: I'll get it!
Bart: Why're you so eager to enable Dad?
Lisa: Because I'm making a fortune returning his empty cans to the recycling center -- five cents a pop.
Bart: I can see how that could add up.
Poochie: They give you money just to throw these cans away?
Lisa: It's not just throwing them away, it's recycling. They take the cans and melt them down and make new things out of them.

Poochie: Of course! Is that a problem?
Lisa: Not at all, as long as it gets people to recycle more! I mean, why do I do it? Smug satisfaction isn't that different than wanting to be on TV.
Poochie: Do you think my catch phrase should be "Bro, do you even recycle?" or "Recycling stinks, just do it!".

Poochie: Give it to me straight fellas, how do you get the kids to like you so much?
Scratchy: Maybe if you try, you know...trying a little less hard the kids will come around.
