Glad that rickety, ol' bridge was finally fixed up. Always used to make me nervous whenever Colin had to go across it. Got no worries 'bout this new one, though. Thanks, [Player].

BELL
Colin likes hearin' the bell ring. It does my heart good to see him so happy. You might not think it at first, but a town needs that kinda stuff.

BRONZE_STATUE
Hunh. Didn't think that buffalo statue was really that color under all that gunk.

GODDESS_STATUE
Colin and Noel have really taken to playin' near that new statue these days. They always look like they're havin' a lot of fun, too. Wouldn't have happened without your help, [Player]. Thanks.

You helped with the creation of that candied sweet potato dish, right? Who woulda thunk potatoes could be candy? It was pretty good.

Y'know, talkin' to you is kinda relaxin'. It's the same feeling I get when I chat with Brad. Heh. You're kind of an oddball. In a good way, though.

Friendship

Man

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_00
Sorry, I ain't much of a talker. You'd be better off using your time to do somethin' else.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_01
I don't get you. Why do you wanna talk to me so badly? There's lots of better talkers around.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_02
You know, talkin' with you ain't so bad. I guess I can try to be a half-decent conversation partner for ya.

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_03
Sometimes, when we chat, I forget I'm not all that much of a talker.
Guess that means I've really taken a liking to you, [Player].

MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_04
For the longest time, Brad was the only guy I'd call a close friend. But now I count you in that number, too, [Player].
Talking with you is all kinds of interesting. Besides, there ain't nobody else who can get me to say this much at once. If I didn't call you a good friend, I wouldn't really be able to consider anybody a close friend, now would I? So, from one friend to another...I look forward to chatting with you a lot more from here on out.

Woman

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_00
Sorry, I ain't much of a talker, and I'm especially no good at talkin' with the ladies. You'd be better off using your time to do somethin' else, honestly.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_01
I don't get you. Why do you wanna talk to me so much? There's lots of better talkers around.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_02
You know, talkin' with you ain't so bad. I guess I can try to be a half-decent conversation partner for ya.

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_03
Sometimes, when we chat, I forget I'm not all that much of a talker.
Guess that means I've really taken a liking to you, [Player].

WOMAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_04
The only other lady who I felt more comfortable talkin' to than you was my late wife. I don't think I'll ever find another woman I liked talkin' to as much as her...But you're pretty close. And right now, there ain't many who I like talkin' to as much as you.
After all, you're the only one who can get this many words outta me all at once. I'm glad to call you a friend.

Talk

Talk 0
Farm work takes a lot of stamina. It'll be rough at first, but the more ya do it the more your body will adapt.

Talk 1
I don't dislike listenin' to folks. I just ain't no good at the talkin' part.

Talk 2
I was born an' raised right here in Westown. Only moved out for a while after I got married to my wife.

Talk 3
When me an' the wife moved away, I took up a desk job.
Was sore for days and days after I came back and picked up farm work again.

Talk 4
I like animals. You can be friendly with 'em without needin' no words.

Talk 5
My favorite hobby is tinkering with my radio. When I'm on it chattin' with other folks, it feels like the words come out easier.

Talk 6
I hear folks call people like me who use the radio "hams." Don't ask me why.

Talk 7
Don't got too many folks I can call friends. But...I do know lots of people like me who like to tinker with the radio.

Talk 8
When I've got free time, I'll usually do one of two things--go play with Colin or tinker with the radio.

Talk 9
Stuff I don't care for? Hot stuff, mostly. I've got a sensitive tongue.

Talk 10
Colin's gettin' real good at drawing. Wonder if he's gonna be an artist when he grows up.

Talk 11
Was walkin' down the street when some kid pointed at me and said I had a scary face. I know I ain't the handsomest, but I was still kinda shocked.

Talk 12
What color do I like? Red.
Actually, it was my wife who liked the color at first, not me. She said I looked good in red an' kept getting red shirts for me. Eventually, I started to like it, too.

Talk 13
Ma told me talkin' is like playin' catch, and that I gotta remember to throw the ball back more. So I said even if I couldn't throw no ball back, I reckoned I could catch just about anythin' anybody threw at me.
Then she got mad an' said that wasn't bein' no catcher, that was just bein' a net...Wasn't much I could say to that.

Talk 14
Colin's ma? ...She got sick and passed away. She wasn't the sturdiest lady in the first place, but when it hit, it hit fast. She...didn't suffer long.

Talk 15
Colin was only three years old when his ma passed.
Me...I didn't have the first clue on how to raise him. So I moved on back here to get help from my ma. Even now...I'm still not sure I'm doin' it right. Dunno if it's gettin' through that I love him. I'm tryin' my best, though.

Talk 16
If only it hadn't been that sudden illness... If my wife had passed like my pa did, just... reachin' the end of her life naturally, I don't think it'd still be eatin' at me like this. Naw...thinkin' about it, I bet it'd still eat at me.

Talk 17
Brad's still the same guy he's always been, for better or for worse. When I first moved back here, just seein' him greet me with that same ol' smile of his healed a little somethin' inside me. Can't ever thank him enough for that.

Talk 18
Frank an' I are both farmers an' we don't live too far apart, so we'll get together every now an' again to talk shop.

Talk 19
Carrie's always keepin' an eye out for Colin.
Both she and Brad are too nice for their own good. ...I'm thankful for it, though.

Talk 20
Brad told me once I should get Wayne to gimme some pointers on how to talk with folks. But let's be honest, that ain't gonna work. I'm pretty much a lost cause.

Talk 21
Brad was tellin' me the other day that Carrie came up with some doozy of a dish again. Poor guy's got it real rough sometimes.

Talk 22
What do I know about Marco? He's a nice fella, but tends to take too much at face value. I worry 'bout him sometimes.

Talk 23
Miranda's doin' a real fine job of raising her daughter all by herself. Me...I couldn't manage it. Had to come back here to Ma for help. I've got a lot of respect for Miranda.

Talk 24
Noel's happy an' outgoing. Colin's quiet an' shy. Seein' the two of 'em together reminds me of me an' my wife sometimes.

Talk 25
The rumor 'bout the goddess in the spring? I know there's a story 'bout it, but not much else.

Talk 26
What do I know about Ford? The guy's a good doctor. Solid and reliable, too.

Talk 27
My wife's hobby was photography. She took tons of pictures, but never really sat down for one herself...Didn't leave me with too many of her.

Talk 28
What, the cut on my finger? See, I was workin' with some applique--ahem! I, er, it's nothin'. Never mind.

Talk 29
Colin is my greatest treasure. The one most precious memento my late wife left for me. I mean to do everythin' I can to do right by him.

Talk 30
Sometimes folk tell me it's gettin' on time for me to put the past behind me an' let my wife go, so that I can move on with my life. But if I've gotta forget her to move on with my life, I'm fine stayin' right where I am, thanks.
She was too important, too special to me for me to just...forget her. Ain't never gonna get remarried, neither. Don't even wanna think about it. Well, if Colin says he wants a new ma... No. Not even then. That may be the one thing I can never do for him.
