Dialogue

Introduction

First Meeting Lines	Hm? Have we met somewhere before?
	Oh, you're <Player>! It's nice to meet you. I'm Norman, this town's grocer.
	If you're ever looking for ingredients or food, I'm your man. Come see me anytime.

General Lines

These lines can be seen at any heart level, at any time.

1	All work and no play makes <Player> a dull boy/girl. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses from time to time!
2	My motto is to always work mindfully.
3	Hope I fish up a big one.
4	You haven't lived until you've tried some of my cooking. It's got Sydney's seal of approval, too.
5	Long-distance relationships are pretty nice. Really makes you appreciate your partner when you finally get to see them.

Heart Lines

0 - 2 ♥	It must be hard working on the farm. Keep at it!
3 - 4 ♥	Working on a farm must mean you know a lot about different foods and ingredients.
5 - 6 ♥	I added you to our list of regular customers. Hope you don't mind!
7 ♥	We should go fishing together sometime. You can't work twenty-four seven. You need a break every now and then.
8 ♥	How is the food we have on sale? Do you like it?
9 ♥	I talk about you with my wife, Sydney, a lot. I tell her what a good-natured farmer you are.
10 ♥	Living so close to nature is one of the main draws of this town. All the residents take pride in it. And that includes your farm, too.

Weather Lines

Sunny	A wise man once said, "Sunny days are laundry days"! Who was this wise man, you ask? Why, me! Haha. Don't forget to air out your bedding!
Rainy	Ugh, rain. I hate rainy days.
Snowy	Snow isn't so bad every now and then.
Typhoon	The wind is getting fierce. I'm worried about our sign getting blown away.
Day After Typhoon	That was some rough weather we had yesterday.
Blizzard	I hope it stops snowing soon!
Day After Blizzard	That was some terrible weather yesterday.

Seasonal Lines

Spring	*yawn* I'm so sleepy.
Summer	You have to take extra care these days not to get heat exhaustion.
Fall	Watch your health when the seasons change.
Winter	It's pretty cold out. Are you all right?

Time of Day Lines

Morning Greeting	Good morning, <Player>. Mornings can be rough, but let's keep at it, eh?
Morning Line	Up and at 'em! The early bird catches the worm, and the early grocer nabs the customers! Let's tackle another day!
Afternoon Greeting	Hello there! Let's make today another lucky day.
Afternoon Line	Another busy day!
Evening Greeting	Good evening. Time sure flies when you're having a productive day, huh?
Evening Line	Well, tomorrow's preparations won't make themselves! I'd better start getting ready soon...

Gift Lines

Loved	This is for me?! Why, thank you, <Player>. My hands are practically shaking with excitement!
Liked	Oh, thank you! You know what I like!
Liked A Little	Thank you. This is a pretty good gift.
Neutral	Thank you. That's very considerate of you.
Birthday Gift	Is this a birthday present? Oh, so you remembered! Thank you, <Player>.

Player's Birthday

If the character has less than 2 ♥, you will not receive any birthday dialogue.

2 - 4 ♥	Hey, a little birdie tells me it's your birthday! So...Happy Birthday!
	Birthdays always take me back. When I was a kid, I had a big party with all my friends.
5 ♥ +	Hey, it's your birthday today, right? Happy Birthday, <Player>.
	Olive Town is lucky to have you. We're all better off with you in our lives.

Town Development Lines

Lv.1	This town could do with a little more activity.
Lv.2	I think I've been seeing more tourists around recently. Or is that all in my head?
Lv.3	It might be nice to try out a new hairstyle. As much as one I can get away with, at least...
Lv.4	The busier the town gets, the busier my store gets. It's a win-win.
Lv.5	Maybe I’ll go to the salon and get a nice moisturizing treatment.
Lv.6	Have you seen the new benches? Gloria must have helped with the design process. They have her signature style written all over them.
Lv.7	Have you noticed how nice the street lights look now? They give the town such a romantic air at night.
Lv.8	A town can't be truly great without some hustle... and hey, why not throw in a little bustle, too?
Lv.9	Suddenly all these new stalls are popping up. I have to step it up to keep drawing in customers.
Lv.10	A luxury liner that travels the whole world... If only...

Skill Lines

Lv.10 Fishing

You've become a deft hand with a fishing rod, my friend.

Family Lines

Newlyweds	How's newlywed life going for you?
Child Born	How does it feel to be a parent? Pretty nice, right?
Child Crawls	Having a little one is like suddenly making the switch from generic to name-brand—you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!
Child Fully Grown	Children are a handful, but that's all part of the package deal.

Festival Lines

	Before	During	After	If Won
Egg Hunt	I hope you're looking forward to the Egg Hunt.	The trick to making a good omelet is to whisk the eggs until the lumps of egg white are gone. Remember that.	I always sell a ton of eggs both before and after the Egg Hunt. It's good for business!	n/a
Pet Derby	If you go to the Pet Derby, you’ll get to see all the animals running as fast as they can.	Laura loved this event when she was little.	We could learn a thing or two from the way those pets ran, eh?	Congratulations on winning the Pet Derby! Well done.
Summer Jamboree	I wonder if Laura’s thinking of participating in the Summer Jamboree again this year.	I’m not really one for a lot of physical activity. But I enjoy watching everyone else!	I’d like to try my hand at the Summer Jamboree one of these years.	There’s our Summer Jamboree winner! Where do you hide all that strength?
Fireworks Display	You can't have summer without the Fireworks Display.	If fireworks were a kind of food, I wonder what they'd be. Rock candy, maybe...? No, maybe not.	I'd say that was our best fireworks show yet. Those blasts really ripped through the air.	n/a
Mushroom Hunt	It isn't autumn without the Mushroom Hunt.	There are so many different kinds of mushrooms in the world, but did you know that— Oops, this isn't the time for a lecture.	Mushrooms sell like hotcakes before and after the Mushroom Hunt.	Congratulations! You must have a nose for mushrooms.
Spirit Festival	The Spirit Festival is when we launch lanterns into the air to show our gratitude for nature.	Come to think of it, Sydney first confessed her love for me on the night of a festival.	There's nothing more peaceful than the Spirit Festival.	n/a
Fishing Tournament	Don't forget about the Fishing Tournament. It's just around the corner. You should join in.	*Festival Runner*	That's it for the Fishing Tournament. I hope to see you at next year's.	Congratulations! The way you handled your fishing rod was almost divine.
Snowshine Celebration	It's that time of year—the Snowshine Celebration is almost here.	I think I smell sweet potatoes baking somewhere. Hope they didn't forget the butter and brown sugar.	All the snow sculptures were marvelous, wouldn't you say?	n/a

Tutorial Lines

1	Sure wish I could upgrade my fishing rod, but tool upgrades aren't cheap... With a better rod, I could catch rarer fish than Iori and Nguyen combined!
2	Sometimes—albeit rarely—you might harvest up a crop that's a little different from the rest. Grocers'll pay a pretty G for those if you ship them out.

Miscellaneous Lines

Give A Second Gift

No, no, I couldn't possibly! I've got enough for today. Maybe tomorrow, though.
