Ford (Trio)/Quotes

First Meeting

First Meeting (Man)
...Hm? You're an unfamiliar face.
Ah. So you're Frank's relative. [Player], was it?
I'm Ford, the town doctor.
...Hrm. Passable for now, I guess.
Allow me to make one thing clear: I have no patience for slobs or ragamuffins. If you wish to see me, come clean and properly attired!
I am generally within my clinic. Should you have business with me, come see me there.

Long Interval

Long Interval
Ah. You. It's been some time. ...Hm?
Is that...dirt on your hem? Now see here, I'm well aware that you're a farmer, but I still find this kind of lapse difficult to pardon. Please take better care of your appearance in the future.

Long Interval (Lover)
It's been quite some time since we last had the opportunity to chat.
I know your work keeps you busy, and that we cannot simply see each other whenever we'd like...
But I...I do miss you. Come and see me when you can, all right?

Long Interval (Marriage)
For all that we share the same residence, it has still been some time since we last saw each other. Why is that?
...No, I don't think I'll go down that particular train of thought. It will only lead to unpleasant conclusions

PLAYER_DOWN
Farm work is difficult and demanding labor, making proper daily care for your health and wellbeing all the more important.
...What I'm trying to say is that you should rest and take it easy for today.

Working

WORKING_REQUEST_000
Aha! Here to do a delivery for me? Great! Here's the package.

WORKING_DELIVERY_000
A delivery for me?

WORKING_DELIVERY_001
Ah, yes. This is what I requested. Thank you.

Town Upgrade

BRIDGE
The poor condition of the bridge had been a concern of mine for quite some time.
I'm glad it was repaired before it collapsed and caused someone injury.

BELL_TOWER
That's an excellent new bell tower we've built. Now we have a means of keeping precise time throughout the entire town.
At least, that's what I had hoped. But apparently, there's some troublemaker who enjoys ringing it at random. What a nuisance!

BUFFALO_STATUE
The previous condition of that statue had certainly been a deplorable disgrace. You would never imagine that, seeing it now.
I, for one, intend to be more vigilant from now on so that it does not fall into such a pitiful state again.

GODDESS_STATUE
Assuming the goddess does exist, I have no means by which to judge if she will find the statue we erected to her pleasing or not.
Hrm...Perhaps if I held it in comparison to a patient erecting a statue to me in front of my clinic...
...I would find that one incredible eyesore. Let us hope that the goddess is not like me in that respect.

Collaboration

TOWN_COLLABO_A_RESTAURANT_00
Brad insisted, to the point of distraction, that I try his new "candied sweet potato" dish that you and he collaborated on.
And I must say, it wasn't bad. The crops you grow are of excellent quality.

TOWN_COLLABO_A_RESTAURANT_01
Rumors have been flying around about the "mince pie" dish Marco collaborated with you to create. Out of curiosity, I tried it for myself...
...and found it was actually rather pleasant. I can understand now why others would say they could eat several in a row.

TOWN_COLLABO_A_PERFUME
I hear our florist collaborated with you on the creation of a new perfume. I have little interest in fragrances and such...
But if you were involved, I'm sure it must be a product of quality. Given your accomplishments, that only makes sense.

Weather

SUNNY_SPRING
Because of the seasonal winds and dry soil in this region, there are constant dust clouds at this time of year. Woe to those with allergies.

RAIN_SPRING
I actually enjoy this sort of weather. The rain extinguishes any extraneous noise, allowing me to concentrate in peace and quiet.

SNOW_SPRING
Ah, it's you. You may run about all you wish, but did you remember to warm up properly first?
If you suddenly go from little activity to much activity in this cold weather, you could pull something.

SUNNY_SUMMER
You seem to be perspiring heavily. Are you certain you're consuming enough liquids?

RAIN_SUMMER
Rain at this time of the year is a blessing. Perhaps this will bring the temperature down a little.

SNOW_SUMMER
Ah, it's you. You may run about all you wish, but did you remember to warm up properly first?
If you suddenly go from little activity to much activity in this cold weather, you could pull something.

SUNNY_AUTUMN
I find this the most pleasant time of the year. The cool days are perfect for spending in research.

RAIN_AUTUMN
Today is a tad chilly, isn't it? Perhaps I'll follow your example and partake in a little exercise.

SNOW_AUTUMN
Ah, it's you. You may run about all you wish, but did you remember to warm up properly first?
If you suddenly go from little activity to much activity in this cold weather, you could pull something.

SUNNY_WINTER
It may seem nice out, but have a care not to let yourself become chilled, as that may lead to later illness.

RAIN_WINTER
Today is a tad chilly, isn't it? Perhaps I'll follow your example and partake in a little exercise.

SNOW_WINTER
Ah, it's you. You may run about all you wish, but did you remember to warm up properly first?
If you suddenly go from little activity to much activity in this cold weather, you could pull something.

TYPHOON
[Player]? What on earth are you doing here?
Running about in the middle of this typhoon... Honestly! Do you mean to give me more work? Go on, home with you now!

HEAVYSNOW
[Player]? What on earth are you doing here?
I don't know what possessed you to brave this flurry, but at least warm yourself before going home. The last thing I want to hear is that you've collapsed into a drift.

MARRIAGE_TYPHOON
What on earth are you doing? You had better not say you intend to work outside in this weather.
Your unflagging work ethic is one of your many fine points, but I cannot condone you pushing it too far.
*sigh* At least have something warm to drink and wait for the worst of it to blow over. For my sake, if not your own.

MARRIAGE_HEAVYSNOW
What on earth are you doing? You had better not...but you are, aren't you?
I'm well aware attempting to stop you is a futile effort, but at least promise me you won't overdo it.
Though, if you do carry things too far, I may just have to think up some "punishment" for you. That promises to be amusing.

Time

MORNING_TALK_00
Ah, greetings. I see morning comes early for a farmer. That's no surprise, though.

MAN_MORNING_TALK_01
Mm? [Player], your hair is mussed. I realize it's early, but that's no excuse for being lax with your appearance.

WOMAN_MORNING_TALK_01
Mm? [Player], your hair is mussed. Did you not brush it this morning?

MAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_00
Have you eaten today, [Player]? Healthy meals at proper intervals are integral to maintaining your stamina.

MAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_01
Ah, [Player]. Busy as a bee today, hm? Keep up the good work.

WOMAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_00
Have you eaten today, [Player]? Healthy meals at proper intervals are integral to maintaining your stamina.
Especially since you're rather slim for a farmer. I suggest eating meals that are high in calories.

WOMAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_01
Ah, [Player]. Busy as a bee today, hm? Keep up the good work.

MAN_EVENING_TALK_00
Still up and about at this hour? You have quite a lot of energy, I see. Good, that's very healthy of you.

MAN_EVENING_TALK_01
What? I must be "tired" after a long day of work? Hmph, hardly. I take excellent care of my health, and make certain to have plenty of energy.

WOMAN_EVENING_TALK_00
Still up and about at this hour? You have quite a lot of energy, I see.
But take care not to do too much in one day. There is such a thing as "diminishing returns" on effort.

WOMAN_EVENING_TALK_01
What? I must be "tired" after a long day of work? Hmph, hardly. I take excellent care of my health, and make certain to have plenty of energy.

LOVER_MORNING_TALK_00
Ah. Good morning to you. I'm glad to see you in excellent health.

LOVER_MORNING_TALK_01
Good morning. I'm glad to see you don't skimp on the morning greetings to your lover.

LOVER_MORNING_TALK_02
Oh, er...good morning.
My apologies. I wasn't expecting you to come so early. You caught me off guard...

LOVER_AFTERNOON_TALK_00
Ah, [Player]. Have you eaten lunch yet? Healthy meals at proper intervals are important, you know. I don't want to hear you've been skipping any.

LOVER_AFTERNOON_TALK_01
Today looks like it will be an excellent day. You have come to see me, so how could it be anything else?

LOVER_AFTERNOON_TALK_02
...You seem awfully busy of late. Er, well, I suppose I've been rather busy myself as well.
But is it selfish of me to wish I could spend a little more time with you?

LOVER_EVENING_TALK_00
Still up and about at this hour?
I understand you have much to do, but try not to cram too much into one day. Proper rest is important, too.

LOVER_EVENING_TALK_01
Ah, [Player]. I've been thinking about you since this morning. At last I get to see you.

LOVER_EVENING_TALK_02
...I must admit, sometimes I am beset by a bout of anxiety at the thought you might be forgetting me.

MARRIAGE_MORNING_TALK_00
Good morning, [Player]. Greeting the day with you makes everything that much more pleasant.

MARRIAGE_MORNING_TALK_01
Waking at the correct hour and proper preparations... How well the day will turn out all depends on your morning routine.
And on that front, I am certain today will be an excellent day! Any morning routine that includes you is perfect.

MARRIAGE_MORNING_TALK_02
...Good morning.

MARRIAGE_AFTERNOON_TALK_00
Ah, [Player]. I didn't see you this morning. Were you busy?

MARRIAGE_AFTERNOON_TALK_01
Morning comes very early for you, so I understand that there will be some difference in our schedules...
But, erm...it's a very lonely thing, having to wait until noon before I get to see you.

MARRIAGE_AFTERNOON_TALK_02
...Strange. Since when did it become so awkward to see you?

MARRIAGE_EVENING_TALK_00
Is it me, or is this the first we will have spoken with each other today?
...Ah. No. I'm sorry for leaving you be all day as well.

MARRIAGE_EVENING_TALK_01
Ah, [Player]. Is it this late already?
A little longer and we would have ended the day without seeing each other at all.

MARRIAGE_EVENING_TALK_02
My apologies. I...I don't feel like speaking with you right now. Good night.

Greeting

GREETING_WEEKDAYS_0
Medicines? Check. Implements disinfected? Check. Excellent. Everything is in order.

GREETING_WEEKDAYS_1
The clinic is closed for today. Is this an emergency?

GREETING_WEEKDAYS_2
Yes, what do you need?

Feeling

FEELING_GOOD_TALK_00
I'm in an exceptionally good mood today. I have a feeling I may be on the cusp of a new discovery.

FEELING_GOOD_TALK_01
Hm? I'm in a good mood? Ha ha! You can tell? My biorhythms are aligned at a high today.

LOVER_FEELING_GOOD_TALK_00
Getting to see your lovely face makes my good mood even better. I can already tell today is going to be an excellent day.

LOVER_FEELING_GOOD_TALK_01
Ah! I almost reached out for you while I wasn't paying attention.
Whoops. Goodness me, I must be letting my control slip a little. Can't have that--while somebody may be watching, anyway.

MARRIAGE_FEELING_GOOD_TALK_00
I'm in an exceptionally good mood today. Perhaps it's because I saw your angelic sleeping face this morning.

MARRIAGE_FEELING_GOOD_TALK_01
Ah, [Player]. Hn? I'm smiling a lot? But of course. My dopamine levels are exceptionally high today.
I presume this is what is meant by the concept of a smile simply "welling up."

FEELING_TIRED_TALK_00
When I'm on the job, I never allow my emotional state to affect my performance.
No matter how tired I may feel, I must still perform my duties perfectly. That is what's required of a doctor.

FEELING_TIRED_TALK_01
It becomes much easier to make mistakes on days when one isn't feeling well. I'll have to be extra careful today.

LOVER_FEELING_TIRED_TALK_00
Oof... I feel a headache coming on. I'm sorry. I guess I'm a little tired.

LOVER_FEELING_TIRED_TALK_01
I am as human as anyone else. That means there will be days when my biorhythms are at a low. ...My apologies.

MARRIAGE_FEELING_TIRED_TALK_00
Oh. [Player]. For some reason I've yet to discern, I'm in a rather sour mood today. I apologize for being unable to give you a smile.

MARRIAGE_FEELING_TIRED_TALK_01
*sigh*...I've been feeling rather under the weather today. How odd. I even have you right here with me...

MAN_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD
Hrm. It seems your energy is infectious, for I am feeling much better now. You have my thanks.

WOMAN_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD
Hrm. It seems your energy is infectious, for I am feeling much better now. You have my thanks.

LOVER_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD
Thanks to you, whatever exhaustion I felt is gone. They say illness begins in the mind, but health does as well.

MARRIAGE_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD
It's strange. Whenever I'm with you, I feel an unusual energy begin to well up within me.
This can only be further proof that you truly are the perfect match for me.

MAN_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD
Hm...I feel a headache coming on. Perhaps it would be wise to turn in early today.

WOMAN_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD
Hm...I feel a headache coming on. Perhaps it would be wise to turn in early today.

LOVER_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD
For some odd reason, I suddenly feel fatigued. My apologies, but can your business wait until tomorrow?

MARRIAGE_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD
My apologies. I am suddenly...tired. Could I have a little time to rest?

Today

TODAY_GODDESS_FESTIVAL
I hear today's festival is rooted in the legend of Westown's guardian deity being a goddess.
I personally don't believe in the existence of some supernatural overseer to our lives, but I'll still be attending the festival.
You are, of course, going to attend as well. Correct?

TODAY_TRILYMPICS
Today is the Trilympics, as Brad and Wayne have incessantly reminded me. They've both been foolishly excited about it for days now.
However, my personal feelings on the matter will not dissuade me from giving it my utmost! It's a personal policy of mine to never do less than my best in competition!

TODAY_BEVERAGE_BASH
If they're perfectly fine separate, why bother mixing them together into some...concoction? I don't comprehend the point...
Ah. [Player]. I was merely reflecting on today's Beverage Bash. I find the whole thing very curious.

MAN_TODAY_STARLIGHT_GALA
I hear the Starlight Gala was conceived in the hopes of encouraging closer relationships between the townsfolk.
I find it to be a worthwhile event, given its admirable goal.

WOMAN_TODAY_STARLIGHT_GALA
I hear the Starlight Gala was conceived in the hopes of fostering closer relationships between the townsfolks.
...Relationships of an entirely PLATONIC variety, mind. It is in no way advocating illicit liaisons of any kind.
What? You don't know what a "liaison" is...?
Erm...! If you don't know, don't worry about it. And most definitely do not go and look it up

LOVER_TODAY_STARLIGHT_GALA
[Player], did you have plans for tonight? You're free to attend in the other towns' festivals, of course, but...
Well...erm...we are in a relationship and...
If possible, I, um...I would prefer to participate in the festival together with you.

MARRIAGE_TODAY_STARLIGHT_GALA
Today's the Starlight Gala. Naturally, I intend to participate here in Westown. What about yourself?
You may, of course, participate in whichever town you wish, but I would personally be happiest if it were here with me.

TODAY_NEW_YEAR
The last day of the year is finally upon us...
Which means there will be a plethora of those obnoxiously loud fireworks to keep me awake all night! Honestly! What do people see in those glorified noisemakers?

TODAY_FLOWER_FAIR
Today is the Flower Fair, a day when people express their gratitude to others with the gift of flowers.
Accordingly, I have acquired the perfect flower as a gift for you. I hope you'll accept it.
Of course, given my job I often wind up doing more for you than the other way around, but, well...it's the sentiment of the thing.

LOVER_TODAY_FLOWER_FAIR
Today is the Flower Fair, [Player].
I'm sure you're already well aware it is a day for gifting people with flowers to show your gratitude and appreciation.
So, erm...here. I got this for you. Of course, any flower pales in comparison to you...

MARRIAGE_TODAY_FLOWER_FAIR
The Flower Fair is upon us, [Player].
As such, I got this for you. Here. Erm...thank you. For being in my life.

TODAY_FLOWER_NOT
Ah, it seems your bag is full. I'll give this to you when you have the space.

FORGET_FLOWER
Have you made space in your bag? Honestly, you can be such a pack rat sometimes...
Ahem. Well then, let's try this again, shall we? Here you are.

LOVER_FORGET_FLOWER
Have you made some space in your bag? Ah, excellent. Here you go.
I...erm...I am thankful to you. For everything.

MARRIAGE_FORGET_FLOWER
Have you made some space in your bag? Ah, excellent. Here you go.
I...erm...I look forward to many more years of being together with you.

Campaign

CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_FESTIVAL_00
Let me guess. You're here for a donation to the Goddess Festival.
Don't look so surprised. I've made it a point to fully memorize this entire year's schedule of events.
Now then, how much are you requesting?

CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_FESTIVAL_01
Truthfully, I had already decided upon the amount that I would be donating...
...but I suppose it's all right for things not to go according to plan sometimes.
...What I'm saying is that I'll donate more after all.

CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_FESTIVAL_02
Say or do what you will, I have already decided upon the amount that I will donate.

Map

MAP_FARM_00
My, my! It's much greener out here than in Westown.

MAP_FARM_01
This looks to be excellent, fertile soil here for raising crops. How fortunate for you.

MAP_THREE_FORKED_ROAD_00
Hrm. It's much more humid here than I expected. Ahh, I see. The waterfall must be creating a mist.

MAP_THREE_FORKED_ROAD_01
Three gates leading to three towns. Though they are but simple portals, they still give a solid impression as to where they lead.

MAP_WESTOWN_00
I have a small medicinal herb garden by my house. And I must say, raising plants in this soil requires a few tricks.

MAP_WESTOWN_01
There's a truly irritating number of staircases in this town. I just have to keep telling myself it makes for good exercise...

MAP_WESTOWN_02
Insects definitely seem to flourish here. I guess that's logical, given the close proximity of the fields.

MAP_WESTOWN_03
I tend to use the water from this river for the medicines I make. For my personal needs, the water from the well is sufficient enough.

MAP_WESTOWN_04
Ah. Fancy meeting you out here. You've caught me in the middle of foraging for some medicinal herbs.

MAP_WESTOWN_05
High-quality ores can be found in abundance here. I assume there must be a vein of some sort.

MAP_SHOOTING_STAR
Were you aware that a shooting star is the actual end of that star's life cycle?
The light we see is the last light it emits as it fades from existence. Some people find that sad, others find it beautiful.

MAP_WINDMILL
This windmill pumps water from deep within the well up to the surface.
It allows us to supply water to the entire town without having to travel all the way to the river.

MAP_MILKY_WAY_A
The stars are highly visible from this town. They were certainly never this noticeable when I resided in the city.

MAP_SNOWMAN
A snowman, hm? Once, as a young lad, I was determined to build a snowman with proportions in the golden ratio.
I even drew up blueprints to ensure it would turn out as beautiful as possible.

MAP_TREE
I hear the decorating of trees was a tradition originally begun as a ceremony to ward off evil.
Since fir trees are evergreens, and do not lose their needles in winter, they became a symbol of life.

PLAYER_HOUSE_00
I don't mind having moved out here, but I now have quite the commute to my clinic in the morning.
No, no. That's not really a complaint. Living together with you is far too important to me to be discouraged by a little extra walking.

PLAYER_HOUSE_01
Town may be farther away now, but the walk there is good exercise. At least, that's what I tell myself. My feet sometimes disagree.

MY_HOUSE_00
I keep many of my medicines and implements for experiments here. Make certain you don't touch them. They're dangerous.

MY_HOUSE_01
I make certain my room is neat and orderly at all times. Please don't leave anything lying about.

FRIEND_HOUSE
Sheesh! How does Brad let such unnecessary clutter pile up in his house?
If left in my care, I would throw it all out and have this house perfectly tidy in a day.

Schedule

SCHEDULE_SHOP_OPEN
Welcome to the clinic. I can aid you in regaining your stamina or recovering from illness.

LOVER_SCHEDULE_SHOP_OPEN
Ah, [Player]. What is it? Have you come to some harm? No? Well, should that ever be the case, come see me immediately.

MARRIAGE_SCHEDULE_SHOP_OPEN
Ah, [Player]. Excellent timing. Could you hand me that beaker, please?
Yes, that one. Thank you.

SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_00
There are few doctors in this region. So as you can imagine, I receive patients from many nearby farms and towns.

SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_01
What? My fees are too expensive? I'm keeping them rather cheap, actually.

SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_02
I make most of my income on the invention and creation of medicines. That allows me to keep my examination fees low.

Sleep

SCHEDULE_SLEEP
Nico...tinamide...ade...nine...di...nucleo...tide... Hah...I said it...

LOVER_SCHEDULE_SLEEP
You keep your room...so clean...how wonderful...

MARRIAGE_SCHEDULE_SLEEP
You are perfect...simply perfect... Have confidence...

SCHEDULE_SICK
Strange...I suddenly feel too lethargic to move. I thought I had been on top of maintaining my health...

LOVER_SCHEDULE_SICK
Ngh... How foolish of me. I didn't wish for you to see me like this...

MARRIAGE_SCHEDULE_SICK
This is what they mean when they say "physician, heal thyself," isn't it? My apologies for being an inept husband.

Meal

Meal
Yes? Have you business with me? Apologies, but could I ask you to wait a moment?

LOVER_MEAL
Ah, hello there. Could you wait just a moment? I'll be finished shortly.

MEAL_RESTAURANT
The meals offered here are well balanced and high in nutritional value. I approve of them.

MEAL_WITH_00
What, you want to join me? I warn you now, I cook for nutritional value, not for taste.

MEAL_WITH_01
I see. Then please, have a seat.

MEAL_WITH_02
Perhaps some other time, then.

LOVER_MEAL_WITH_00
Erm...I am aware it's not much, but would you care to join me?

LOVER_MEAL_WITH_01
Excellent. Please have a seat.

LOVER_MEAL_WITH_02
Oh... All right.

SCHEDULE_TALK_14
<grumble> What was I thinking, agreeing to this? I hate touching fish...

HELP_REQUEST_00
[Player]. If you'd like...
I intend to go out for a walk today. I wouldn't mind foraging for some materials for you while I'm at it.

HELP_REQUEST_CANCEL
Ah, you have enough for now? I see. Perhaps some other time.

HELP_REQUEST_OK
All right. Come speak to me after 18:00 and I'll show you what I've found.

HELP_REQUEST_RESULT_00
Ah, [Player]. Good news. I had a fairly successful foraging trip today.
I found [itemname]. I already put them into your bag for you.

Friendship

Man

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_00
Suddenly deciding to become a farmer with no prior experience is the very definition of youthful recklessness.
I'm shocked your family approved. Ah, well. Whether or not you succeed rests squarely on your own efforts. Be diligent.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_01
You have an admirable drive for self- improvement.
Those who have no goals have no incentive to improve, and thus no longer grow.
Though worse than no goal at all is abandoning a goal half-done. Make certain that does not happen to you.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_02
For someone your age, you are actually a very grounded and responsible sort of person. That is promising. Very promising.
Come visit me sometime. I might be able to teach you some things that you may find useful for your daily chores.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_03
Who would have thought the two of us would grow so close? I, at least, hadn't even thought of it when you first moved here.
You are one of the few people I know who listens to me with such earnestness and respect.
...Well, not that there are many people who listen to me at all in the first place.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_04
[Player]. I'm aware that I am a somewhat...eccentric and stubborn man at times.
I've never had many friends around whom I feel completely at ease, but you have become one of my most precious.
I doubt I'll ever change my ways, but I hope you will continue to be my good friend regardless.

Woman

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_00
Suddenly deciding to become a farmer with no prior experience is the very definition of youthful recklessness.
I'm shocked your family approved. Ah, well. Whether or not you succeed rests squarely on your own efforts. Be diligent.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_01
Let me give you a piece of advice, if I may: once you begin something, see it through to the end.
Setting a goal for yourself and working towards it is admirable, but abandoning said goal is the worst thing you can do.
...No, I don't mean to imply that I think you will do such a thing. Er... Think of it more as my attempt to cheer you on.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_02
Seeing how happy Brad and Carrie are together makes me believe that there are people out there who can truly be happy with married life.
*cough* ...Not that I have any particular aspirations towards marriage, myself.
Love and romance are two things with which I have little experience and even less interest in.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_03
Have I ever told you what an amazing person you are, [Player]?
Successfully managing a farm by yourself whilst cultivating friendly relationships with the townsfolk, all while having fun.
Even more seasoned adults would have difficulty managing such a feat without letting any of the effort show.
There aren't many like you. None that I have met, at least.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_04
[Player], do you not find it, erm... boring to be around me?
I am nowhere near the skilled and entertaining conversationalist that Wayne is.
And while it is never my intention to insult you, I'm aware I can sometimes say things in a very...blunt manner.
Hm...? You like me the way I am?
Ah. That is very good to hear. Thank you.

Confession

CONFESSION_00
Ahem! Pardon me, but could I ask for a moment of your time?
There's something I would like to discuss with you.

CONFESSION_01
Good, good. Now then, let us go somewhere where we might have a little more privacy.

CONFESSION_02
Ah. I see. If you are busy that's fine. Perhaps... some other time.

LOVE_CANCEL_01
Yes, I believe we are due for a discussion. Let us go to your place.

Lover

LOVERS_00
I still find it hard to believe that out of all the people you could have possibly chosen, you chose me.
You do realize that I am someone most consider an eccentric and a...a kook, correct?
...I see. Despite what others may say, you would still have me.
You know? Choosing someone like me despite all that means you're a rather odd duck yourself.

LOVERS_01
There's no need to worry about me.
I've spent most of my life alone. I've simply fallen back on those old habits, is all.
So you don't need to look at me like that. I'll be fine.

LOVERS_02
Never did I think the day would come when you would once again stand by my side.
This time, I will not fail. Please, stay with me and help me make certain I do not repeat the same mistakes a second time.

Lover Conversations

LOVER_CONVERSATION_00
Being in love is like temporarily losing yourself. I was aware of that intellectually, but...

LOVER_CONVERSATION_01
Never once in my life have I had anything but the utmost confidence in myself...
But when it comes to you, that all falls apart. Who could have known that love could make such a coward of a person?

LOVER_CONVERSATION_02
Since the two of us became lovers, it feels as if I spend more time conversing with the other townsfolk.
They mostly ask me about you. Nothing important, of course. It's mostly small pleasantries.
Not long ago, I had brushed such things off as pointless, but I've come to find that I rather enjoy those conversations now.

LOVER_CONVERSATION_03
I used to think that dating you is what made me more approachable to the others, but I realize now that isn't quite correct.
Everyone here has always been kind to me. Before, I was simply brushing off their kindness as a nuisance without a second thought.
What's changed isn't you or them. It's me. I finally know that now.

LOVER_CONVERSATION_04
When I first began dating you, Brad and Wayne would tease me about it relentlessly. Strangely, they do not anymore.
Now when I attempt to speak about you, they simply nod and roll their eyes, or cast odd looks at each other.
I can only assume this means I have passed the first stage of a proper relationship and have advanced to the next.

LOVER_CONVERSATION_05
[Player], I am a fortunate man. I've come to think that a lot as of late.
I have been blessed with good friends and an occupation I enjoy. That alone would be enough to bring anyone contentment...
But the luckiest and happiest event in my life happened the day I met you.
I know I don't say it often, but let me say it now... I love you, [Player].

Proposal

PROPOSAL_00
Ahem! Pardon me, but could I ask for a moment of your time?
There's something I would like to discuss with you.

PROPOSAL_01
Good, good. Now then, let us go somewhere where we might have some privacy.

PROPOSAL_02
Ah. I see. If you are busy that's fine. Perhaps... some other time.

ENGAGEMENT
Erm! It seems our wedding ceremony will be here before long. Yes, it will be here before we know it...

Marriage Conversations 1

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_00
Have you ever felt you regretted marrying me?
No, it's nothing. I was just...curious.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_01
Somehow, sometime before I realized it, it became commonplace for you to be by my side.
I'm not certain whether I should view this change as growth or a sign that I have fallen into a rut.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_02
I think I finally comprehend why some people would choose to get married.
The love you show me every day has become my inspiration and my energy.
This is what people term "euphoria." And I believe it is to secure such happiness that people get married.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_03
[Player], do you have any idea how happy and thankful I am to be married to you?
You are the light of my life. A day without you would be like a day without the sun.
Please...tell me you'll be with me and love me always.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_04
Everyone in town says that I have utterly changed as a person...
And you know what? I completely agree with them.
Who would have thought the day would come when I would find a partner to love and to live with in blissful happiness?
It's all thanks to you. Meeting you changed my life.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_05
The time I spend with you is some of the most blissful I've ever known.
I hope this comfortable and happy life we have together will continue forever.
Heh... The person I once was would never even have conceived of saying such a thing.

MARRIAGE_CONVERSATION_06
There are so many things I never would have known if it weren't for you.
The passion of love. The joy of sharing my life with another. It was you who opened my eyes to such wonders.
I hope that you'll stay with me and continue to share such discoveries with me...for the rest of our lives.
In exchange, I will give you all the love a man can possible give, for as long as we live.

Marriage Conversations 2

MARRIAGE_00
Never once did it cross my mind that I would someday be spending my life together with another.

MARRIAGE_01
Though little shows during the first trimester, it is, in fact, the time when care and caution are most critical.
Though in your case, you happen to have married a doctor. You have nothing to worry about. Go on about your day as you always do.

MARRIAGE_02
It may be a little early, but I've taken the liberty of acquiring blankets, bibs, and other such necessities.
I've also confirmed with Miranda that her shop will have booties and onesies in stock by your estimated due date.
You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I have seen to everything. But...perhaps I should double check, just in case...

MARRIAGE_03
It's not long now until your due date.
I have been present for many a birth, but I never expected that one day I would aid in the birthing of my own child.
But don't fret. I'll be with you throughout the entire process. I promise as your doctor and your husband that all will go well.

Child Growth

CHILD_GROWTH_00
Even an infant as tiny as [child name] has fully grown fingers and toenails. Life is such a strange and wondrous thing.

CHILD_GROWTH_01
Crawling already? My, how time flies. Well then, I think the time has come for me to implement the Education and Learning Bootcamp plan I devised...
...What? Why are you glaring at me like that?
All right, all right. You needn't get that worked up over it.
If you insist, I will scrap my grand educational program. <grumble> ...I spent six months working on that, you know.

CHILD_GROWTH_02
I've devised an educational puzzle game for [child name]. I hope it's challenging enough.

Blessing

MAN_BLESSING_LOVER
[Player], I heard from Wayne that you and [your lover] are dating now. Who knew that you two had become that close?
I don't generally concern myself with others' romantic affairs, but to you I offer my warmest congratulations.

WOMAN_BLESSING_LOVER
[Player], it's not too late, you know. I urge you to think it over very carefully.
I am speaking of you and Wayne, of course. I find it hard to believe that notorious flirt could make you happy--
...No. I take that back. Thinking about it, it's obvious that he's thoroughly and completely smitten with you.
In fact, you may be the only one who could truly make him happy.

BLESSING_LOVER_OTHER
Rumor on the grapevine is that you're dating someone now.
I'm sure you must be tired of all the gossip and fuss by now, but try to not let it concern you. As they say, a rumor lasts but 75 days.

MAN_BLESSING_ENGAGEMENT
I hear you and [your fiancee] are to be married soon. Congratulations.
I generally have little interest in weddings and such, but the thought of you and her living happily together is a pleasant one.

WOMAN_BLESSING_ENGAGEMENT
It's not much longer until your wedding with Wayne. Congratulations.
He and I have known each other for quite some time now, and never before I have seen him so delirious with joy. Please, make him happy...

BLESSING_ENGAGEMENT_OTHER
I hear you will be getting married soon, [Player]. Congratulations.
What? Does it truly seem that odd that I would offer you my congratulations? I do believe in common courtesies, you know.

MAN_BLESSING_MARRIAGE
A happy household does not simply appear. It must be made so by the continual effort of all involved. Don't be lax.
But most of all...congratulations on your wedding. I wish you both the best of happiness.

WOMAN_BLESSING_MARRIAGE
How moving to know that our town's number one flagrant womanizer has finally found someone to settle down with.
Now, hopefully, Westown will know a little more peace.

BLESSING_MARRIAGE_OTHER
I hear you've gotten married, [Player].
Know that a happy household does not simply appear. It must be made so by the continual effort of all involved. Don't be lax.
But most of all...congratulations on your wedding. I wish you both the best.

BLESSING_MARRIAGE_PRESENT
It's not anything much, but allow me to offer you this gift in congratulations on your nuptials. I hope you find a good use for it.

MAN_BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH
[Player], well done in being there for [your wife].
As a doctor, I have been present for many births, but this one I believe I will remember for some time.
Now is when things truly get difficult, however. I wish the best to you and [your wife].

WOMAN_BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH
[Player], congratulations again on a job well done.
As a doctor, I have been present for many births, but this one I believe I will remember for some time.
Now is when things truly get difficult, however. I wish the best to you and [your husband].

BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH_OTHER
Congratulations on the birth of a healthy child, [Player].
As a doctor, I have been present for many births, but this one I believe I will remember for some time.

BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH_PRESENT
Here. A gift in congratulations for your new child. I know the timing is somewhat late, but these last several hours haven't exactly been the time for that.

COMING_SISTER_00
Come to think of it, I recall seeing a young lady enter your farmhouse earlier. Is she an acquaintance of yours?
Ah, so she is your sister. That would explain things.
What are you doing here, then? Your sister has come all this way to visit you. You should be spending your time with her, not me.

COMING_MOTHER_00
Everyone in town is talking about how your mother has come to visit.
Given she raised you, I am certain she is a wise and gentle woman. I may go and pay my respects to her later.

Gift

LOVER_GIFT_00
...You look positively exhausted. Here, eat this. It'll help you regain some energy.

LOVER_GIFT_01
[Player], are you feeling unwell? Here, eat this. Don't worry, it's just food. Nothing medicinal.

LOVER_GIFT_02
Don't you think you're working a bit overmuch? If it's really that bad, I can always give you a shot...
But first, it would be best for you to get some food in your system. Here, eat this.

MARRIAGE_GIFT_00
I made this nutritionally balanced lunch for you. Eat it when you get hungry.

MARRIAGE_GIFT_01
Here's your lunch for today. It's the perfect meal, if I do say so myself. ...Nutritionally speaking, of course.

MARRIAGE_GIFT_02
It's not nearly as wonderful as your cooking, but here is the lunch I made for you. Enjoy it when you're hungry.

MAN_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY_00
I hear today is the anniversary of your birth. Congratulations.

MAN_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY_01
I hear today is your birthday, [Player].
As such, I took the liberty of preparing a gift for you. Here.

WOMAN_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY_00
I hear today is the anniversary of your birth. Congratulations.

WOMAN_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY_01
I hear today is your birthday, [Player].
So...erm! I thought to prepare a gift for you. Here.

LOVER_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY
Today is your birthday, [Player]. That means it's a special day for me as well.
So I thought we might have a private celebration...just you and me.
Wait for me at your house at 19:00. All right?

MARRIAGE_PLAYER_BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday, [Player]. I thought it would be nice to have a celebration tonight. Just the two of us.
Be sure to be back home by 19:00, all right? It'll be a night to remember, you have my word.

NO_EMPTY_BIRTHDAY
Oh, my. It seems you've already acquired quite a few presents today. Your bag is almost bursting at the seams.

FORGET_BIRTHDAY
Have you reorganized your bag? Excellent. Once again, happy birthday.

TOWN_BIRTHDAY_PARTY
Ah, yes. I have been given a message to deliver to you from Carrie.
She said, "Please come to the restaurant at 13:00." There. The message is now delivered.

WEDDING_RING
It's said that rings have long been the symbol of an oath. Thus, couples exchanged rings as a sign of their marital vows.
That said, it's not something you ought show to others willy-nilly.

LOVER_WEDDING_RING
What a beautiful ring. They've long been the symbol of oaths exchanged, you know.

EVENT_WEDDING_RING_01
...You do understand the implication of showing me this ring, correct?
Ah, no...I shouldn't jump to any hasty conclusions. First, I will hear what it is you have to say.
But not here. Let us go somewhere more private.

PROPOSAL_WEDDING_RING
I must admit, the moment you first showed me that ring I was struck by a wave of confusion.
Now, erm...I cannot remember a word I said to you afterwards.

MARRIAGE_WEDDING_RING
That ring... Have you acquired a replica? I still keep the original carefully stored.

PENDANT
Hm? Isn't that the very pendant that one gives to a potential lover?
The stone inlaid is called the "lovers' stone." It has long been a gem of moderate value in this region.
I have some considerable knowledge of it intellectually, but have little interest in it otherwise.

EVENT_PENDANT_01
That pendant...!
Erm...! Let us go somewhere more private, shall we?

LOVER_PENDANT
The stone inlaid in that pendant is called a "lovers' stone." It has long been a gem of moderate value in this region.
I must admit, I never expected to have anything but a passing intellectual interest in it...

MARRIAGE_PENDANT
Ah, that pendant. It feels like forever ago now, but the day you first showed that to me was the day our life together began.

LOVER_ANGER_WEDDING_RING
[Player], is it true that you've been going around showing that ring to others?
You are the last person I would expect to do such a thoughtless thing, but if you are, cease immediately.

MARRIAGE_ANGER_WEDDING_RING
Unbelievable. The audacity. The sheer audacity!
What am I talking about? I see you have no guilt or remorse for what you have done, then!
I am speaking of your flouncing about showing our ring to other people.
That ring is the embodiment of our lives together. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

LOVER_ANGER_PENDANT
[Player]. About the pendant you gifted to me...
Is it true you've been going around showing a replica of it to others? I find that...difficult to comprehend.

MARRIAGE_ANGER_PENDANT
[Player]. I've heard rumors that you've been going around showing our pendant to others.
Showing such a private and intimate symbol of our relationship to others is inexcusable. Please, don't do it again.

Wrapping

FLOWER_FAIR
This is that limited-edition wrapping paper from the Flower Fair, isn't it? Who would have thought you of all people would succumb to the allure of such manufactured scarcity...?
Still, allow me to express my appreciation for the thought. Now then...

FESTIVAL_LONGEVITY
This is the limited-edition wrapping from the Festival of Longevity. Who would have thought you would succumb to the lure of such manufactured scarcity...?
Still, allow me to express my appreciation for the thought. Now then...

FRUIT_FIESTA
This is the limited-edition wrapping from the Fruit Fiesta. Who would have thought you would succumb to the lure of such manufactured scarcity...?
Still, allow me to express my appreciation for the thought. Now then...

LIKE
Hrm. I see you went to the trouble to wrap this for me.
Personally, I see little value in wrapping, as it is there only to be torn.
Oddly enough, it still fills me with a sensation of excitement and wonder. How very peculiar! Now then...

NORMAL
Hrm. I see you went to the trouble to wrap this for me.
Personally, I see little value in wrapping, as it is there only to be torn.
Still, you wrapped it to please me, and pleased I am. Thank you. Now then...

Present

PRESENT_BEST
Hrm... [item name], is it?
How thoughtful of you, [Player]! This one meal holds enough calories and nutrition to sustain a person for an entire day!
It would be no understatement to say this is my most preferred of all meals! Thank you. I greatly appreciate it.

PRESENT_VERY
Hrm... This is for me, is it?
An excellent choice. You have a firm grasp of my preferences.
Now, to use it as an experimental sample, or to save it for another use? That is the question.

PRESENT_LIKE
Hrm... This is for me, is it?
A good choice! I can make use of this in my experiments.

PRESENT_NORMAL
Hrm... This is for me, is it? I have no need of this whatsoever. What do you expect me to do with this?

PRESENT_DISLIKE
...What is this?
I have no need of this whatsoever. What do you expect me to do with this?

PRESENT_HATE
...What is this?
It seems you understand me little. I cannot even find the desire to pretend to be happy.
Hmph. If you're going to bring things such as this, I would rather you give me no gifts at all.

PRESENT_WORST
Is this...[item name]? <shudder> Of all the foods I have little tolerance for, this is the worst.
How do people enjoy this...this unhealthy and nutritionally empty lump of sugar?
It looks lovely, of course, but that only makes it worse!
I certainly won't eat it. I'll simply pawn it off on Wayne.

Huge

PRESENT_HUGE_VERY
Egads! Look at this enormous piece of produce! How did you grow such a thing?
I suppose that matters not. More importantly, a vegetable this large must surely be filled with that much more vitamins and minerals.
This particular piece was an excellent choice as well. You have a firm grasp of my preferences. Thank you, [Player].
Now, should I use this as an experimental sample, or should I just enjoy it? That's the question.

PRESENT_HUGE_LIKE
Egads! Look at this enormous piece of produce! How did you grow such a thing?
I suppose that matters not. More importantly, a vegetable this large must surely be filled with that much more vitamins and minerals.
Thank you, [Player]. I'll make good use of this in my experiments.

Gold

PRESENT_GOLD_VERY
Egads! Look at this golden piece of produce! How did it get that way? What is it made of?
How odd! It seems to be golden all the way through! This will make an excellent sample for my experiments. This particular one was an excellent choice as well. You have a firm grasp of my preferences.
Thank you, [Player]. I'll be able to write a thesis on this one sample alone.

PRESENT_GOLD_LIKE
Egads! Look at this golden piece of produce! How did it get that way? What is it made of?
How odd! It seems to be golden all the way through! This will make an excellent sample for my experiments.
Thank you, [Player]. I'll be able to write a thesis on this one sample alone.

Birthday

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_BEST
Hrm...[item name], is it?
How thoughtful of you, [Player]! This one meal holds enough calories and nutrition to sustain a person for an entire day!
It would be no understatement to say this is my most preferred of all meals!
You have impeccable taste, [Player], and have chosen a most welcome birthday gift for me.

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_VERY
Hrm...this is for me, is it?
An excellent choice. You have a firm grasp of my preferences.
You have chosen a most welcome birthday gift for me, [Player]. Thank you.
Now, to use it as an experimental sample, or to save it for another use? That is the question.

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_LIKE
Hrm...this is for me, is it?
A good choice! I can make use of this in my experiments.
This is a most welcome birthday gift. Thank you, [Player].

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_NORMAL
Hrm...this is for me, is it? I have no particular need for something like this at the moment.
But you did go to the trouble of getting it as a birthday gift for me... I'll try to find a suitable use for it.

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_DISLIKE
Of all the things to receive as a birthday gift...
I have absolutely no use for this whatsoever. What am I to do with this?

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_HATE
Of all the things to receive as a birthday gift...
It seems you understand me little. I cannot even find the desire to pretend to be happy.
Hmph. If you're going to bring things such as this, I would rather you give me no gifts at all.

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_WORST
...[item name]? Of all the foods I have little tolerance for, this is the worst. And you give it to me for my birthday?
How do people enjoy this...this unhealthy and nutritionally empty lump of sugar?
It looks lovely, of course, but that only makes it worse!
I certainly won't eat it. I'll simply pawn it off on Wayne.

BIRTHDAY_PRESENT_HUGE_VERY
Egads! Look at this enormous piece of produce! How did you grow such a thing?
I suppose that matters not. More importantly, a vegetable this large must surely be filled with that much more vitamins and minerals.

Festival

FLOWER_FAIR
A flower for the Flower Fair, hm? Who on earth first hit upon the idea of such a festival, I wonder.
Ah, but that's irrelevant. Thank you for the gift.

LOVER_FLOWER_FAIR
A flower for the Flower Fair? I generally have little interest in gifts from others, but I'm pleased to receive one from you.

MARRIAGE_FLOWER_FAIR
A flower for the Flower Fair, hm...?
I used to think little of it, but now I find myself waiting anxiously to receive one from you every year. Thank you.

FLOWER_FAIR_RETURN
I've readied a flower for you as well. Here.

LOVER_FLOWER_FAIR_RETURN
I've readied a flower for you as well.
Consider it a symbol of the words I know I do not tell you often enough.

MARRIAGE_FLOWER_FAIR_RETURN
I've readied a flower for you as well.
Consider it a symbol of my everlasting love and gratitude.

VALENTINE_FESTIVAL
Are these sweets for me? Oh, yes. Today is Valentine's Day.
I hadn't expected to receive a gift from you. In that case, thank you. I gladly accept.

VALENTINE_FESTIVAL_RETURN
Here. Allow me to give this to you in return. It's just a little something I happened to have on me at the moment. I'm sorry.
I, erm...I certainly didn't go out of my way to prepare it for you. Perish the thought.

LOVER_VALENTINE_FESTIVAL
Ah. Sweets for Valentine's Day, hm? Thank you.
I, erm...I thought you might make some for me, so I prepared some for you as well.
If you don't have to return to work right away, why don't we enjoy them together?

MARRIAGE_VALENTINE_FESTIVAL
Are these sweets for Valentine's Day? I must truly be the luckiest man alive to have your handmade sweets all to myself every year.
I prepared some for you as well, of course. Come. Let us retire home and enjoy them together.

PUMPKIN_JAMBOREE
What's this...? Pudding for the Pumpkin Jamboree...?
Hm, well, if you are freely giving this to me, I see no reason to refuse. Thank you.

NO_EMPTY_FESTIVAL
...Ah, it seems your bag is full. Make some space and then come see me again.

REACTION_PRESENT_HARVEST
Oh, yes. About the [item name] you gave to me yesterday...
It was a rather exceptional specimen of very high nutritional value. You raise produce of excellent quality.
I promptly used it in one of my experiments. Rejoice, [Player]. Your produce has played a part in advancing medical science.

REACTION_PRESENT_COOKING
Oh, yes. About the [item name] you gave to me yesterday...
I attempted to measure its flavor profile, but my calculations proved inconclusive... So I gave up and simply ate it.

REACTION_PRESENT_FLOWER
About the [item name] you gave to me yesterday... You won't believe what happened!
I used it as a sample in an experiment to extract fragrance components, and I collected several times the average amount!
You raise high-quality flowers, [Player].

REACTION_PRESENT_PRODUCT
About the [item name] you gave to me yesterday...
Since it was such high-quality fabric, it made for excellent non-abrasive gauze. My thanks

REACTION_PRESENT_FOOD
Er...Ahem! [Player], I'm most appreciative for the excellent gift you gave me yesterday.
I thought it only appropriate that I enjoy it personally instead of using it for an experimental sample. It was delicious.

REACTION_PRESENT_FLOWER
I used the [item name] you gave me yesterday as a sample in my experiments. It was quite useful. Thank you.

REACTION_PRESENT_OTHER
I used the [item name] you gave me yesterday as a sample in my experiments. It was quite useful. Thank you.

RETURN_PRESENT
Since you have given me many a gift, it's only fair I return the favor on occasion. Here. Enjoy.

LOVER_RETURN_PRESENT
Since you are very generous with your gifts, it's only fair I return the favor on occasion. I hope it's something you'll find useful.

MARRIAGE_RETURN_PRESENT
I can't let you be the only one giving gifts. This time I prepared one for you. I'm confident it will be something you'll like.

Pet

Standard Response
You truly are extraordinarily fond of animals, aren't you.

Doberman
I've heard the Doberman is a breed of dog that is wary of strangers and can be aggressive...but this one seems quite docile.
Whether you brought out its natural temperament or simply trained it well, I'm glad that this one belies the stereotype.

Shepherd
I've heard that shepherds are a highly loyal breed of dog...
And yes, seeing the two of you together, I can tell that is very true.

Scottish Fold
That's a dangerous companion you have there. One look from those cunning eyes is enough tomake you believe you must do something for it, at once.
But why? What is it that makes one feel that compulsion?
There IS no reason, and that may be the most frightening thing of all about this creature.

Eagle
I was aware that you had a talent for forging bonds of friendship with all manner of creatures...
But I never expected you to be able to domesticate a wild eagle! That's most impressive.

Angora Rabbit B Huge
Do all angora rabbits of this color grow this large?
Hm? The color is irrelevant?
I see! How intriguing. I would like the chance to study them in closer detail one day.

Hamtaro
Is this creature... a hamster?
No, I think not. The eyes are too big. Is it a new species or a mutation?
Anyway, it's interesting. Let's find out if other similar species have been reported.

Talk

Talk 0
I'm not only a doctor, but a scientist as well. I pursue research in the interest of advancing medical science.

Talk 1
Failure is a common occurrence when experimenting. Every one success is often the result of a hundred prior failures.
However, avoiding failure is not so important as avoiding repeating the same one over and over again.

Talk 2
I have long been aware that medicine was my calling. However, I will admit a lack of aptitude for pediatric medicine.

Talk 3
I first moved to this town for its abundant supply of exceptionally pure water.
Large quantities of clean water are critical in making medicine. In fact, there are several medicines I can make only in this region.

Talk 4
Personally, I find an evening spent with a good book and soft classical music playing in the background to be quite relaxing.
There's no reward quite like it at the end of a hard day's work.

Talk 5
I most often read medical books, but I'll also enjoy the occasional philosophy tome as well
Examining one's own life and self from various points of view is a very worthwhile practice.

Talk 6
You diligently maintain proper hygiene and cleanliness on a daily basis, correct?
For yourself and your livestock, too. I should hope. They are living beings. Leave them living in filth and they will fall ill.

Talk 7
When I visit another's residence, the first place I find myself looking is their bookshelves.
You can make an educated guess about what sort of person your host is by looking at what sorts of material they read

Talk 8
When you place books on your bookshelf, do you make certain that their spines are correctly aligned?
Sometimes I notice people place books of differing sizes directly next to each other. Or worse, cram others flat on top of them.
How someone could ever do that to a book, I'll never understand.

Talk 9
Do you enjoy listening to music, [Player]? An evening spent relaxing and letting myself drift upon delicate harmonies is, to me, time very well spent.

Talk 10
Much of my free time I spend on my research. Conducting an experiment and writing a report on it will take up most of the day.
Though there are occasions when Wayne will invite me to join him at Brad's for a night of entertainment.

Talk 11
Some people call me fastidious, but I'm a doctor. Doctors are supposed to be clean.
An unhygienic doctor is an unprofessional doctor. Wouldn't you agree?

Talk 12
I rely on Brad's restaurant for most of my meals. If I do ever make anything for myself, it's usually a quick breakfast.

Talk 13
What? Do I dislike cooking? Hardly! In fact, I would say it's quite the opposite.
I approach every cooking endeavor with my all. However, a perfect meal is the result of great skill and unflagging effort...
And...well...sometimes things don't always turn out as I intended.

Talk 14
Cooking is a science. Placing foods in a hot frying pan causes chemical reactions, the result of which is a cooked dish.
I'm skilled at chemistry and experimenting, so it stands I ought to be a good cook. But then why is it that nothing turns out tasting good?

Talk 15
I once extracted the nutrients from vegetables and concentrated it into a medicinal powder I called "Vita-Veggies."
But when I told Brad about it, he started to laugh at me for some reason. Why? I think it would be a revolutionary product.

Talk 16
Brad and I have been friends since I first moved to Westown. He was one of the first to come up and speak to me when I arrived.
In fact, he would barge into my house and leave meals on my table on a daily basis.
Eventually, I caved in and began going to his restaurant instead.

Talk 17
Despite appearances, Brad is actually quite the responsible sort.
He's quick to understand what others feel, and will never turn a blind eye to those in need...But at most other times, he's just as flaky as he seems.

Talk 18
Wayne moved into Westown after I did.
Given his good looks, I'm not at all surprised his post office quickly became mobbed by a gaggle of tittering fan girls.
...It was and still is a massive nuisance, to be honest.

Talk 19
Wayne and I became friends over our shared loved of books and reading.
At first, I thought a casanova like him wouldn't know a book from a brick, but he's actually quite well learned. How ironic that I of all people judged a book by its cover.

Talk 20
I've come to realize recently that Wayne is actually an exceptional listener.
Whenever I start talking, Brad will tune out almost immediately. But Wayne pays attention and nods along till the very end.
I expect his ability to capture the hearts of women stems from that particular talent of his.

Talk 21
Wayne often barges into my home unannounced. Usually it's because he's curious about one or another of my books and wants to ask me about it.

Talk 22
The other day I stopped by the post office and happened to overhear Wayne's conversation with a female customer.
He continually surprises me with how easily he can spout off those flippant, flowery nothings of his.
I think even if I worked at it my entire life, I would never understand that aspect about him.

Talk 23
I'm never at a loss for conversation topics when speaking with well-learned people, no matter their expertise.
In that sense, one of my favorite conversation partners is Hector. He may not say much, but what he does say is wise and well thought out.

Talk 24
It's odd. Hector barely speaks person to person. So how is it that he suddenly becomes so eloquent when we're talking over the radio?

Talk 25
Colin is a quiet boy. So quiet I sometimes worry about him.
In fact, I sometimes even get the impression that he may be afraid of me.

Talk 26
Frank spoke to me about you when we saw each other the other day. It's obvious he cares a great deal for you.

Talk 27
This town has been blessed with many women of strong personalities and morals.
...Megan and Miranda in particular have absolutely no compunction about giving me a piece of their mind.

Talk 28
Have you ever heard Miranda sing? She was a singer once, you know.
She has such an exquisite singing voice, quite unlike her normal speaking voice.
......If you could refrain from mentioning that last part to her, I would greatly appreciate it.

Talk 29
Have you ever heard the saying "left eye fluke, right eye flounder?"
It's a saying Marco taught me for differentiating regular flounders--or flukes--from olive flounders.
>But I make it a point never to touch raw fish, so I doubt I'll ever have the chance to verify its accuracy for myself.

Talk 30
Hm? What sorts of foods do I dislike? That's an awfully suspicious question...
Well, if you must know, raw fish and other uncooked foods...
Foods with powerful odors. Excessively sweet and otherwise sugar-filled foods. All of those are things for which I have no need of. Overly sugary foods in particular are nothing but unhealthy junk.

Talk 31
What sorts of things do I prefer? First and foremost, my research, of course.
Hm? That isn't what you meant? Ah, you were speaking of favorite foods. Be more clear next time, won't you?
I have no particular attachment to taste. But if I had to pick something, I would say healthy foods, such as dishes high in vegetables.

Talk 32
Some time ago, a little girl was brought to my clinic. When she saw me, she promptly burst into tears. Apparently, I am "scary".
Coincidentally, Wayne had also just arrived for a visit. I had him stand next to me, and lo and behold, she stopped crying immediately.
...I'm worried for that young girl's future.

Talk 33
Unique and unusual things interest me. This region itself is rather unusual, too
Primarily because towns of such differing cultures are so close to each other. You probably won't find another place like this.

Talk 34
Some say a goddess resides in Westown's river.
Such a myth is likely the result of the lush nature around the town. Where there is nature, people will assign spirits to it.
Personally, I don't believe in any phenomenon I cannot directly observe and measure.

Talk 35
Why did I become a doctor? Well, the main reason was my love of science and experimenting.
Not to mention, creating new medicines is one small way of helping the world, don't you think?

Talk 36
Before moving here, I conducted my research at a medical college. However, working there has taught me that I prefer to work alone.
In large institutes like that, much of my time was wasted on things not involved with my research.

Talk 37
There have been times when I've had patients who didn't respond to any of the medicines I had at hand.
In an unusual situation like that, I must develop new medicines to treat them.

Talk 38
Research isn't cheap. I offset the costs of mine with the money I receive from selling the medicines I make.
However, some people are too poor to afford costly medicines. So I give away my medicines to them for free... which usually puts a hefty dent in my finances.

Talk 39
Yes? What, curious about this book? It's actually a report I wrote.
A friend had asked me to look into musical therapies for treating illness, and this book contains my theories involving that.
It was only recently completed, and I just received this printed version the other day. Would you like to read it? ...Ah. So you don't.

Talk 40
I am, as you can see, a very busy man. I have little time to travel to other towns.
I do have some connections with Tsuyukusa, though. I sometimes go there to check on Omiyo, a patient of mine.

Talk 41
Omiyo has to regularly take the medicine I make for her.
And she always insists on gifting me with numerous vegetables from her farm in gratitude...
But the value of what she offers clearly outstrips the cost of the medicine. I often leave feeling somewhat guilty.

Talk 42
Once, Yuzuki and I got into a discussion about the medicine I make for Omiyo.
He had quite a few very engaging questions to ask me. Before I knew it, we had been talking until well into the evening.
Sometimes I wish there were more people here who had such a passionate interest in medicine.

Talk 43
I am what they call "pen pals" with Siluka in Lulukoko.
She has a deep interest in medicinal herbs, and will often write to me to inquire about them.

Talk 44
I must admit, Siluka has made me quite curious about herbalism.
Nowadays, science has proven the efficacy of various herbal remedies and disproven others...
But centuries ago, our ancestors knew which herbs were effective and which were not, all without the help of chemistry. Intriguing!

Talk 45
I usually go to Ludus to commission any of the tools I need for my experiments. He's an exceptionally skilled craftsman.

Talk 46
Ludus is a highly intelligent man. He often delivers me tools of even greater efficiency than I had specified.
Who knew such a skilled craftsman lived so close? I'm shocked I didn't meet him sooner. It's darkest under the candlestick indeed.

Talk 47
Yesterday, Omiyo sent me some yokan in thanks for the medicine I sent to her.
But yokan is far too sugary for me to eat. Hrm... what to do?

Talk 48
My favorite color is, of course, white. Light blue is a close second, though.
Both are colors that have a clean and hygienic feel to them.

Talk 49
Why am I so fond of cleanliness? You truly do ask the most inane questions, don't you? But if you truly wish to know.
My mother was a person who simply couldn't stay organized. One day, thanks to the clutter she left about, our house caught fire.
From that day since, I find I cannot be comfortable in a room that's not clean and tidy.

Talk 50
I have some knowledge of veterinary science, and have had my fair share of animal patients.
But I always have issues touching them bare handed. I can't examine them unless I have my gloves on.

Talk 51
What? Do I hate animals? Don't be ridiculous!
Of course I don't hate them! What person would become a doctor if they hated living things?
I simply have...issues touching them with my bare hands. Otherwise, I think they make fine companions and friends.

Talk 52
If I had to choose a favorite animal, I would say dogs, as common as that is.
They're far more intelligent than people give them credit for. If I ever had a dog, you can bet I would teach it a variety of tricks.

Talk 53
Wayne was the one who introduced me to Moriya, a gentleman from Tsuyukusa.
We've only spoken a handful of times so far, but I can already tell that he's a very wise man. He and I have much in common.

Talk 54
Rumors often paint Moriya as a cheapskate, but that only shows how little people truly understand him.
He simply has standards to which he holds himself. He is not a bad man by any means.
In fact, I find him far more personable than the shallow people who put on airs and spend piles of money on their appearance.

Talk 55
Hinata will occasionally come by my clinic, usually with some sort of throat pain.
And usually it's because he overdid his voice training again. Honestly! He needs to learn how to take better care of himself.

Talk 56
Come to think of it, I hear Hinata is training to become a stage actor someday.
Besides music, I do enjoy a good play. I look forward to seeing him perform someday.

Talk 57
Do you have good vision, [Player]? Personally, I wouldn't be able to make it through the day without my glasses.
I guess I must have spent too much time in front of my books when I was a child and strained my eyes. Ah, well. My glasses are a part of me now.

Talk 58
I keep approximately 20 different pairs of glasses. I'll change which one I wear depending on my mood that day.
...Though they are all of the same design, so I doubt many people can tell the difference.

Talk 59
Mithra and I will sometimes exchange letters discussing our recent findings. Though we may work in different fields, we're both scientists in the end.

Talk 60
Mithra is certainly a highly intelligent woman, but...of a different type than I. She's more of a natural genius.
Her assistant, Lotus, must have quite the time keeping up with her.

Talk 61
Not that long ago, I had the chance to finally speak with Lotus.
And just as I suspected, he spends much of his time being dragged to and fro by Mithra. Still...the two of them do make quite the pair. Despite all that he goes through, Lotus seemed to enjoy Mithra's company.

Fashion

STANDARD RESPONSE
Hrn. That's not a bad outfit. Not bad at all.

FASHION_NOT_MATCH_HOT
Are you feeling unwell? You're quite bundled up for this weather. In fact, I would worry about heatstroke like that.

FASHION_NOT_MATCH_COOL
Don't come to me if you catch cold from wandering around in such light clothing in this weather. Put on something warmer.

KUNG_FU_FARMER
Hrn. I would think dirt and stains would stand out more on an outfit like that. Given your profession, I doubt its appropriateness.
That aside, I find it a rather likeable outfit. It's neither gaudy nor garish, and seems loose enough for easy movement.

AQUA_SKORT
My thoughts on your outfit? Hrm. The color seems well chosen. It appears loose enough for easy movement, as well.
However, I do have some concerns about the overall lack of fabric to it.
...What? Don't give me that look. You asked for my opinion. If you have something to say in response, say it.

CHECKERED_VEST
That vest isn't bad. If I had to say anything, I'd rather the pattern was a touch smaller, but overall I approve of it.

GILET_VEST
What? You wish to know my preferences in fashion? Why would you want to know such a thing?
But if I must give an opinion, I find your current wear much to my liking. It's neat, tidy, and not overly gaudy.

FARMER_TANK_TOP
I understand each profession has its own uniform. Doctors wear lab coats, cooks wear aprons, and so forth.
But that shirt you are wearing...is that truly the same thing?
Is a farmer's standard uniform really something that boldly declares it so simply?

ARABIAN_NIGHTS
Hrn. Is that an outfit from Lulukoko? Not bad. It suits you.

RESORT_CASUAL
Ah, I see. I had noticed that your movements seemed a few percentage points more fluid than average. It must be because of your outfit.
It seems you have found a highly appropriate one for your profession. Keep in mind, though, that your increased mobility is no excuse to run around in my clinic.

BLUE_CAMISOLE
Outfits which expose an excessive amount of skin have a high number of risks, such as sunburn, cuts, and scrapes.
The rest of the outfit is rather nice in both color and cut. Just make sure to put on a jacket to protect your skin.

WHITE_JACKET
Not bad. I like your white jacket. What purpose do the chains serve, though?

CLASSIC_STEWARDESS
That outfit seems very in vogue...or "hip," as they say. Is that the right word?

SNOW_PATTERN_KIMONO
Ah. That kimono makes you look like a delicate snowflake.
...Erm! Perhaps that wasn't the wisest choice of words. Forget I said anything. Immediately.

BLUE_GREEN_OUTFIT
Ah. I like the color of your coat. It suits you well.

BLUE_NORDIC_DRESS
That particular outfit looks particularly slimming on you. Actually, you're rather slim to begin with, aren't you?
I'm surprised someone of your build can handle all those farm chores so easily. Impressive.

RED_HAKAMA
That's an interesting outfit you've got on there. Oh, so it's a ceremonial garb from another town? I see. It looks quite dignified. I approve.

CAT_RIDE_ALONG
...I've been meaning to ask you, that thing you have on your head--yes, I am aware that it's a cat.
My question is why do you have a cat on your head?
No reason...?! No, that can't be right! No one puts a cat on their head for no reason! There must be some meaning behind it!>

EYEPATCH_WHITE
What happened to your eye? Hm? It's just for looks?
I thought you had sustained an eye injury. I'm not sure I like such misleading fashion statements.

SET_STEAMPUNKDRESS
That's a...busy outfit. Don't you find it restrictive at all?
I can't imagine it's all that convenient given your profession.

SET_SNOW_COAT
That outfit seems well designed to retain body heat. You should be able to get much use out of it when temperatures are cold.

SET_DRACULA_CLOAK
Erm...are you planning to attend a dinner party tonight? No? It's daily wear?
I see. What constitutes as formal or casual differs from person to person. What seems formal to me may very well be casual to you.

SET_BUTLERWEAR
Ah. I like your outfit. It's neat, tidy, and has a sense of dignity to it.
However, I get the feeling that I've seen it somewhere before. Why is that...?
