Title: Nancy the Happy Whore

I'm at the point where

Okay, I defeated the robbers and got the invitation. I also extinguished the BBQ and turned the kitty black. Now I'm stuck again.

I'm stuck earlier:
Spoiler
I lit the barbecue and the magazine, the sprinkler is on, but it looks like smoke or steam. Got the chocolate.
I also have the DVD player and a DVD and I'm pretty sure I need to somehow play back the DVD on the monitor by fiddling with the stuff on the roof.
Can't do anything to the robbers.

Hint for Stalker:
Spoiler

Read carefully what is written down on the invitation card.

Hint 2:
Spoiler

There is an actual skull on the card. Maybe you should keep a close look at it?

Solution:
Spoiler

Look at the invitation card in the bathroom.

Hint for Khris:
Spoiler

You need to defeat all three robbers. Try talking to them, see if you can figure out any weaknesses. Don't forget, Nancy has a special ability you can put to use... You're also on the right track with the DVD, you might need something from the tool box the robbers put on the counter in the convenience store.

the robbers are still in the bathroom. How do I get them out of there? I tried using inv items on the door, but Nancy just enters and I see the usual scene again.

Answer:
Spoiler

Ah, my bad. You don't need to worry about the DVD until the robbers move to a different location. They'll get out of the bathroom when you have assembled the fuel for the car. You need to talk to the geek outside and find out what he wants in exchange for his fuel machine(you may have to ask the "guy" in the gas station about him first to unlock the dialog). The grill will be useful to help the geek out. Then you have to gather a few different ingredients for the fuel, of which one is picked up in an.. unconventional container you could say which got me stuck for a while.

Suffice to say, the shop has those windows there to stop the horrible smell of exhaust fumes that the cars make. It can be deadly, y'know!

Oh, I was gonna answer that - but you beat me to it, Technocrat :)

Btw, I replayed the game just now -- and found a weird little bug:

Spoiler
I took some blood using the empty bottle BEFORE I found the invitation. Later on, when I was about to save the virgin by replacing the three items, I noticed the bottle was empty again -- and even though Nancy could take more blood, more than once, it kept appearing as empty in the inventory and Nancy wouldn't use it to replace the juice. Hm...
[close]

It's nothing big, it probably happened only because I did things in the wrong order this time -- and I finished the game without any problems the first time around.

This is kind of embarrassing, I guess.  I'm stuck pretty much at the first puzzle.  I'm trying to

figure out how to make the grass appear like "grass".  I've got the stuff from the trunk, the stuff from behind the counter, and the DVD player.  I don't actually know what marijuana would look like, so I've been just randomly trying to use everything there is on everything there is, which hasn't been as successful as I'd like. . .

Once you've talked to them all, you need to pick them out one by one.

The blue one is the easiest.
Spoiler
You just sweet talk him into following you somewhere more private (by using the heart icon in your inventory on him). When the two of you enter the room with the vending machine, you'll notice there's not much to interact with. Just the vending machine, resting in a very unstable position... Hmm... Someone could get REALLY hurt...
Spoiler
Click on the jack - and voila!
[close]
[close]

Now for the green one.
Spoiler
Take the clippers and the hammer from the toolbox on the counter (if I remember right). Now go into the bathroom. Oops! What do you do NOW?
Spoiler
Use viagra on him! Break the window with the hammer and climb out. Prop the stiff snake against the wall and climb up. Once there, cut the wires with the clippers and attach the DVD player (that you can get from the fat guy living by the station). Now, instead of the bathroom view, the blue one will see whatever DVD you put on. If you remember what you talked to him about, you'll know what movie (available in the store) to use.
Spoiler
If you don't remember - a hint: he's afraid of vampires.

For the red one, see Technocrat's reply to KCar (and his question, too, as it contains some useful hints).

Some teamwork will be required.
Spoiler
Have Susie follow you and when you're in the room where the splinkler is, ask her to give you a boost -- and once she does, you know what to do, right?
Spoiler
Use the lighter.

Something you're carrying will set the sprinklers off! What do they usually react to?

Stuck on last robber.

Spoiler

Setup the hose, try to turn on the car, and get the response: "There's something I'm forgetting." 

Obviously we need to get Susie out of the gas station BEFORE taking out the last robber.  How?

Is there a walkthrough for this game?  I had been trying to figure it out and got frustrated & finally gave up.  I've read all the hints thus far but am stuck close to the beginning.  I really love this game though and I'd like to finish it!

Spoiler
I'm trying to make the pot from the grass (I know the geek wants some) but no clue how.  I got the sprinkler system to come on but don't know what to do from there.  I can't even get into the bathroom and don't have a CLUE how to go about that.

I promise I've been following this post (or was) but I'm still stuck.  I don't want subtle hints, I want to know what to DO.  Anyone up for helping me?  (Please)

Getting Susie out isn't the problem, but Nancy should only be saying that if all three robbers have been dealt with. Which colour robber is left over?

Spoiler

Make sure you've got the matches from Susie, the alcohol from the trunk of the car or behind the counter, and picked up the grass from outside. Look at the ladder to the roof, then talk to Susie, and ask her for a boost. On the roof, put the alcohol into the barbecue, and light it with the matches. Use the grass with the barbecue to dry it to make it look like cannabis.

Hope that helps!

Haha, you can always quote me...I'm assuming the word "cutest" probably isn't something a game designer considers a compliment?  I assure you it was though...;)  I absolutely loved it.
