	Everyday	Hello. We rarely get new items, but drop by sometimes. I'm Rick. Nice to meet you.
	Everyday	Sorry that my shop's closed so often.
	Everyday	If you don't know hardships you don't know great pleasures either, and that makes for a boring life, eh?
	Everyday	Hi, how's it going?
	Everyday	Hello. Sorry we don't have much to choose from.
	Everyday	Your grandpa got that tool from a certain place. The more you use it, the more powerful it becomes.
	Everyday	Once it powers up it's very convenient. But be careful, because it uses more of your power too.
	Everyday	I've invented many things... But no big hits.
	Everyday	A rainy day's a good day for thinking. ...But then I easily forget to open my shop.
	Everyday	Nobody ever seems interested in my inventions.
	Everyday	Few people understand me... But a man must face the wind!
	Everyday	...well, you know...
	Everyday	My job is like a hobby. I don't make much money. But that's not what life's about, eh?
	Everyday	Day after day I mount failure and move forward step by step.
	Everyday	Well, sometimes I take a few steps backwards.
	Everyday	Life is impossible without failure, and men who have never felt despair still have a long way to grow. Never be discouraged!
	Everyday	Let's see, this goes here, and that goes there... Yes! This is going to be a great invention! When I finish this, everybody will be amazed.
	Everyday	Ahhh! Don't surprise me. Ha, ha, ha. I'm creating a new thing. Show some excitement.
	Everyday	....cough, cough. Hmmm, failed again... What went wrong?
	Everyday	.....What? Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something.
	Everyday	Well, you always have to exercise your brain. Otherwise, it won't be working when you need it.
	Everyday	................ ................ ................ ........ Oh, <Player's Name>? When I'm daydreaming I don't see or hear anything.
	Everyday	I'm glad to have dreams to devote myself to.
	Everyday	Half the purpose of life is to find the things you'll be happy doing for the rest of your life, eh? So I figure I've accomplished half of my purpose.
	Everyday	Marriage? Well... I guess I'd marry if I came to want something I'd have to be married to have. But now there's too many things I couldn't do if I were married.
	Everyday	Well, my uncle scolded me, asking how long I was going to keep messing around. So I'm seriously trying to invent something.
	Everyday	Is there a girl? Well, a long time ago...and still now, actually... But she rejected me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Everyday	Continue the story? About me being rejected? Well, it was like...”I can't follow you...” What could I say, eh?
	Everyday	The world is full of mysteries. There's no time for boredom.
	Everyday	It may look flat, but everyone's life has its hills and valleys.
	Everyday	You must never throw your dreams away. They're all you carry until death.
	Everyday	Things are not just scattered about. It may look unorganized, but it's all designed for easy use.
	Everyday	Hi, <Player's Name>. Ann's been talking a lot about you recently.
	Everyday	Hmmmm, that looks about right.... Hey <Player's Name>, Ann's birthday's coming up, so I'm making a gift.
	Everyday	You want to know Ann's birthday? It's the 14th day of Summer. She was born right in the middle of Summer. Want to know mine? You don't? Oh.
	Everyday	Peaceful days are boring days, eh? If you don't take action, nothing will happen! If you want things to happen, you have to get out there and stir things up!
	Fall	Fall... It's a good season for thinking.
	Everyday	Oh, I don't like winter because machines work poorly and my hands get numb. But some experiments are only possible when it's cold.
	Everyday	Hey <Player's Name>. You aren't busy in the winter, right? Could you do me a favor and go to the ore mine and find me a rare metal stone? I'm not good at heavy labor, so I'd appreciate it.
	Show Dog	Your dog looks clever...how about helping with my experiment...no, no, never mind.
	Give Favorite Gift	Oh, thank you so much.
	Give Neutral Gift	Thank you.
	Give Disliked Gift	Not very tasteful, eh?
	Give Milk	Is this really OK? Thank you. Your milk is very good. In return, I'll teach you how to make special butter. Once you've tasted it, you'll go nuts over it.
	Recipe Received	Got the ”Handmade Butter” recipe!
	Everyday	Children?... They're cute, but I'm not sure about raising my own...
	Show Blue Feather	You bought it without knowing how to use it...? Well, just give it to your favorite girl.
	Give Rare Metal	Oh, it's the rare metal! Thank you! It's a very rare stone and hard to get your hands on. I'm so happy. I owe you one!
	Give Hated Gift	Me...I don't need this.
	Give Blue Rock	It's a Blue Rock. I think the Craft Shop would be happy to get this... Or maybe I should keep it, since you went out of your way for me.
	Give Weather Vane	Oh my.... This ...this is my grandma's keepsake weather vane. Is it OK? Thank you. This brings back memories of when I was a kid...it was still working on the top of the roof...
	Everyday	What did I do with the weather vane? I repainted it and decorated it.
	Everyday	That weather vane used to always get blown off in the wind. It'd take a walk in the sky each time the wind blew. Eventually it went missing. Now my grandma can rest peacefully.
	Give Broken Music Box	That music box seems to have rusted up. Here, let's see it. Hmmm....oil it here... tighten it there...and there you go! Say, you know, this melody is a love song you give to a girl.
	Give Moonlight Stone	Hmmm...a Moonlight Stone. That's a pretty rare stone. Thank you. I'll use it for the Firefly Festival.
	Rainy Day	When it rains, I think about things I can only do on rainy days.
	Everyday	Somehow, special days are more fun than regular days.
	Everyday	Snow... Have you looked at a snow flake? The world is so well- designed, even in the things we can't really see. It made an impression on me.
