Need somethin'? I got a lot on my plate today: herd the cattle, snag a few sandfish, get the horses out for a run. Not exactly chores, but things that do need doin'!
Aww, I wish there was more excitement around here. Why can't we be on the edge of the Peripheries or somethin'?
Guess what my plans are for today: ... no plans! That's how I keep things interesting!
Sh! Don't... make... a sound... Was that the call of the extremely rare, Bottle-nosed Prickle-toed Meerdog... Oop, wait, no. Tumbleweed. False alarm. Sorry about that!
Legend has it that Martle had this giant duck as her friend. There have to be some clues around somewhere if the tale is true, right? A giant duck doesn't just vanish...
I caught some Sandfish this morning, can't wait for some fish kebab later. Ooh, my mouth is watering now...
You heard about the bandits, right? I can't help but think that Logan's really cool! That sidekick of his is really awesome as well! I wanna ride around like them, without a care in the world...
Buddy[]
Hey! Fancy seein' you around again, partner! Are you tryin' to edge out Mi-an as my new best friend? Yeah, that's right, this town ain't big enough for the both of y'all!
Hey there, partner! Care to go sandfishing? Or what about mountain climbing... though truth be told it is a mighty fine day for a good ol' fashioned Yakmel ride! Shoot! How am I supposed to choose! I can't do 'em all at the same time! ... Or can I...?
What do you think is over them mountains yonder? Hm... probably a hundred other prattlin' ranchers like my dad, hah! I'll stick around here, one yakin' yakboy is enough for me!
When you try to tame a wild Yakmel, never use the crack of a whip; it only riles 'em up. The trick is to squat down in front of 'em, look 'em dead in the eye, and shout out, "Yeeeeeehaw!" Don't believe me? Try for yourself!
Last night I had a dream about riding on a Yakmel and it jumped me straight up to the moon! Then we kept ridin' around 'til I woke up. Hey, what's that look for?! I reckon it could happen if your Yakmel was fast enough!
The ranch is boring today. Hey, got any bright ideas? What kinda fun is going on around here?
Mi-an is always tellin' me how she misses the skyscrapers in Tallsky; to me that just don't add up! Skyscrapers only muck up the view! Give me the sky any day, skip the scraper!
Good Friend[]
Hey! You wanna go Sandfishin'!? Oh. Yeah. 'Course you got stuff to do... I ain't actin' too clingy, am I? It's just... I ain't never had too many best friends like you before, I don't wanna blow it!
Hey, lemme tell you a secret: I been goin' out late at night to my secret spot; buncha monsters moved in! I've been wrastlin' em and wranglin' 'em- Huh, what's that look for? I wasn't hurtin' em! Too much...
I was readin' the other day about this condition called men-o-pause; it's somethin' that can happen to men when they get on in the years. Anywho, my Pa's got all the symptoms... Aimlessness, livin' in his former glory, a protrudin' gut... You hate to see it happen.
Why's everyone always sayin' I can't take care of myself? Put me out in the wild unknown with nothin' but a butter knife and I'll survive! You get me, doncha, Player?
Lookin' over at the same ole dunes everyday can get a little dry, but, hey, least I always got you, my best friend!
I had another dream about Yakmel... I dreamt that I was a Yakmel myself. Or maybe... the Yakmel is dreaming that it's me? Ow! I think something in my brain just broke.
Player, if you got somethin' to say to me, just say it! Don't just nod your head an' leave people guessin'. I'm sayin' this for your own good, y'know! I ain't jus' complainin'!
During a sandstorm[]
Regular lines[]
Last night, I heard a fearful rumblin'... thought it mighta been a fearful beast! Turns out to just be a regular old sandstorm though...
Builder, you seen one of them sandstorm monsters!? Quick, tell me about it! What did it look like? Scary, right? Dang, I can't believe I missed it!
Buddy[]
Is it fun out there in the sandstorm? My fuddy-duddy old folks won't let me go out and see... I'm gettin' cabin fever in here!
In a big ol' sandstorm like this, I get kinda worried about the little animals. You think they got into hidin' in time? Player, if yer goin' out, mind checkin' on 'em for me?
On rainy days[]
Rainy days are tough to top 'round these parts. I don't have to wash stuff or water the Yakmel or nothin'. Fewer chores means more time for splashin' and havin' fun!
Look, Player! I’m warnin’ you... Once I’m up there on the dance floor, I can’t be responsible for what happens, okay? I don’t wanna serve you, but I will!
I remember Winter Solstice when I was a lil' kid. I used to eat, an' eat 'til I got super stuffed! Aw, I was runnin' to the bathroom non stop after that! My Pa, he went an' got me some medicine from a Mysterious Man, naw, not the current one! His Pa!
Speech bubbles[]
Greets a friend:
Yeehaw, Player! Keep an eye out for critters!
Greets a romantic partner:
Aw I was tryin' to surprise ya! So... what's up? Been missin' me?
When the player has a new haircut:
Heh heh! Looks like a Yakmel gave your noggin' a biiig lick! Er... in a good way!
If the player has panda eyes from not going to sleep before 00:00:
Those circles under your eyes are huge! Get some rest!
Hahahah! Careful, Player. Never trust a fart; you might get more than you bargained for!
During a party[]
During a party:
Dang, Player throws a crazy party!
Eating:
Aw what!? This is all so good! I'mma eat it all real quick!
No food:
Player, is there gonna be more food?
Comments on the player's yard:
Where'd ya get all this stuff?
Brought a gift:
Y'know, I thought real hard about this gift. I ain't foolin', I swear it's not a prank!
Birthday wishes:
Yeehaw! Hope you have the best birthday ever, Player!
Ends a party in a good mood:
I had such a good time today. Make sure you invite me next time, too!
Ends a party in a neutral mood:
That was one heck of a party today. Goodbye, Player!
Conversations[]
Introduction[]
Oh, heck, another tourist... Er, howdy! I'm afraid I must be on my way - The new workshop owner? Well, shoot, now why didn't ya say so! I'm Elsie. Pleased to meet ya!
Sorry I didn't recognize ya, partner! I thought all Builders were boring old geezers like Mason!
Birthday[]
My birthday is the same as National Hug a Yakmel Day! Huh? You never heard of it? It's the fourteenth of Spring, everybody knows that!
Other events[]
Guest at the player's wedding:
So what was it like standin' up there? Was it more... beauty of this miracle called life? Or more... warmth of the Bright Sun in the form of finding true love amongst those closest to you? Ooh, I can tell the way you're lookin' at me, it's both!
Wow, you're the number one Builder! I never been number one at nothin'... What's your secret!? ...Uh huh? ...Uh huh... Aw, that sounds like way too much work, I ain't doin' that!
After Player has a child:
Hot dang, Player. Married with a kid. When we first met, I feel like we were roughly at the same place in life. You matured like... ten times faster than me!
After Player gets divorced:
Sorry to hear about the divorce. Maybe for your next wedding, you can make it Yakboy themed! ...Sorry, I was just tryin' to cheer you up.
Fireside Meetings are always so boring! They should let me host 'em, I'd turn 'em into a rodeo! Then maybe folks like yours truly would actually show up...
Mi-an canceled hangin' with me on account of the dang sandstorm. You don't reckon... maybe you could just do all the commissions? Well, shucks. Alright, just figured I'd ask.
I happen to think the Geeglers are pretty cool in their own way! Er, I hope my Pa didn't hear me say that. Do you reckon we can make friends with them?
If them Geeglers are brave enough to attack Zeke's farm, our ranch could be next! Pa's right! We gotta do somethin'!
After the fireside meeting that starts the donation drive for the Dance-off:
I just hope there's enough foodstuffs to go around at the dance-off to keep me in fightin' condition. I reckon my moves wouldn't hold up too well against a well-fed tourist on an empty stomach... I'm too young to get served!
I could put an end to this whole Geegle conflict, honest! I just need time to learn their language! Sss ss ss ss! I think that means, "I come in peace!"
Outta my way! I'm havin' myself a conniption fit! I gotta go back and count up my savings... What's the cheapest train outta this dump? Er- You didn't hear nothin'!
Obviously Logan's plan was to blow up the Water Tower... because he knew you'd build it up and make an even better one! He saw the old one and was like, "Naw, that ain't it." Say, uh, you got any more of that... evidence?
I feel some weird desire to team up with this bounty hunter fella... but... me? On the side of law and order? Ahh! What's goin' on in my head right now!?
I dunno if this bounty fella is the real deal... I asked him to spar with me and he started perspirin' somethin fierce! Heh heh... I mean, I know I'm pretty tough, but... I never met a lawman who was afeared of me!
Well, Player, let's just look on the bright side. For once there's been an awkward social event that was in no way, shape, or form my fault in any capacity!
I think I mighta breathed in some of that green stuff once or twice out ridin' around... never thought much of it. Yeah, I been turned green at least twelve times since I was a kid, and look at me, I turned out great!
So all the pollution's gone now? Dang it, Player, think of the missed prank opportunities! Okay, okay... I guess it is... a pretty picture perfect example of Age of Corruption technology. I wonder if Qi will reinvent it for me if I tell him it came from space...
Wow, a road to a whole new city... What do you think the people over there are like? Does the Yakmel Milk taste different? Are their sandsleds faster than ours? I'm askin' the real questions over here, Player!
Player! When I heard you had that ridin' accident... Listen! You and me are gonna start goin' ridin' a lot more, alright? We're gonna start doin' drills. I don't wanna ever have to worry about somethin' like that happenin' to you again, you hear me!?
After the events of The Goat if the player is in a romantic relationship with her:
I went lookin' for you with lil' Belle... We searched for so long. I tried to find you, I really did. You're okay? You're sure? I missed you so much... I didn't know what to do without ya...
It's like I've been sayin' all along, Logan's innocent! Even the water tower thing that seemed completely impossible for him to have not done... I was right about that, too! Remember this, next time yer pickin' lottery numbers...
(mockingly) Mehhh, Elsie, why'd you go an' spend all that time runnin' around in the desert lookin' for a mythical duck that don't exiiiist... Hah! Who's quacking n-! I mean, who's laughing now!?
Ya done good, Sandrock is safe... for now! Who knows what villainous evil might be lurkin' in the shadows waitin'! Although... compared to Duvos, reckon any shadowy villains'll kinda be small potatoes...
Wish I had a twin. Not an evil one, though. Or maybe... Well, I reckon havin‘ an evil twin opens up a lot of possibilities for adventure. Color me undecided on the issue for now!
It's fun gettin' to know this new lizard feller; you know, it's weird how the Geeglers are different from their regular lizard ancestors. Most lizards like to rest in the dark after they warm themselves up on a rock or somethin', but Larry... I think he's afraid of the dark.
Will Sandrock really be Sandrock without the sandstorms? I, too, have pondered on this conundrum, and allow me to present you with my conclusion. Yes! Sandstorms are horrible! Anyone who says otherwise is just bein' nostalgic.
What the heck's wrong with them trees out there? They only got one job, and that's to grow! It's for their own self-interests! We'll figure this out. Anything anybody needs of me, you come runnin', y'hear?
Mi-an almost spent her whole dang fortune on just givin' it away! Has that girl learned nothin' from me? Sure she did a good deed, but the school was gettin' built either way. Gotta learn to enjoy yourself, sheesh...
Y'all are takin' Qi back up to the Starship Ruins... Eh... You got it covered right? I'm more into critters than computers. Unless... that is... you need back up?
Hm... so down in that lab, you found out that a lot of the monsters in our world used to be regular animals? That's... terrible... Well. All we can do is try to understand 'em better... But for now, let's get to plantin'!
That rollercoaster is a league a minute! I must have ridden it fifty times by now! It's like... breakin' in a Yakmel with... rockets attached to the sides!
I always knew Zeke had it in him to figure this stuff out. I just never thought it'd ever be anything like... this! He shoulda made it sound cooler! I think if we knew this was what we were gonna get, more people woulda been on board a lot faster...!
Sniff... sniff... so, the letter just flew into his hands? An' it was from Martle... an'... an'... if that ain't jus' the gosh dang saddest thing I ever heard...
How come none of these fancy pants noblemen wanna meet Daisy? She's a hero, too, y'know? And I went to all the trouble of learnin' to speak duck an' nobody cares...
Post credits:
No more bandits, no more Duvos, no more sandstorms... It's weird being at a stage of life with nothing to be mad at. Where's that old commissioner of yours!? He'd be a fine enough nemesis...! Oh. Right. Jail...
I went shoppin' at the Mi-ni Botanica, and Nia and Mi-an kindly gave me some free flowers to brighten up the ole ranch. But the next mornin', the Yakmels had eaten them all and got upset stomachs... My old man wasn’t too happy about it.
Gift responses[]
Some items gifted to Elsie will yield a special non-generic response.
Aww ain't this a cute little guy? Look at it's little legs! Aww it's meltin' my heart! I love it, thanks Player! I'mma take real good care of it!
When gifted a Yakmel Sausage:
Y'know, we're pretty proud of this! Our sausages are famous all over the Free Cities! Why'd ya think so many tourists come to our town? It's to taste our Yakmel Sausage, that's why! Hey, is that why you came to Sandrock too?
Wowee, didja catch this yourself, Player? Dang, looks like I got a competitor in the Sandfishin' big leagues! I'mma keep this as a reminder to step my game up!
Aw yeah, I love Rutabaga! Ma used to make it all a time as a kid, but Pa made her stop for some reason, I ain't rememberin' why no more. Thanks! It smells so good!
I promise no peace in this town until someone builds me a requested item!
Bounty Board commission:
I been thinkin' 'bout how some a' these monsters defend themselves lately. I need someone to go rough 'em up a little, see how they're fightin'!
I seen a crazy big monster the other day. Bigger'en a house, I reckon. Anyone wanna go check it out for me? Might be kinda mean, so don't go unprepared!
Commission dialogue[]
Tells the player she has a commission posted:
Hey, did you pick up my commission yet? Huh? Not yet? Ohhh I get it, playin' hookie, aren't ya!? Well, shoot, I can't blame you for that. That'd make me a, uh... hypo... hippo... hypochondriac I reckon!
After fulfilling a commission:
Shoot! When did I post that commission again...? That was mighty quick! Wait'll I tell my Yakmel about this!
After fulfilling a Bounty Board commission:
Thank ya kindly, partner! I just love studyin' stuff like this... makes me feel closer to nature, y'know? And I just know someone like you went out of your way not to hurt the buggers too much!
Woah! You really are tough as heck, Player! To be out there in the boonies... facin' all them fearful beasts... I owe you one! Oh, and... if you could not mention this to my Pa... He don't consider these sorts of commissions to be a great use of family funds...
Play dates[]
Start and end[]
Play date starts:
Yeehaw, let's saddle up and have ourselves a time, partner!
Play date end in a good mood:
Yeehaw! Hangin' out with you was more fun than a barrel full o' Geeglers! Less triflin' as well, I reckon. Catch you next rodeo!
Play date end in a neutral mood:
Hm... no offense, Player, but that was kinda boring. Next time, I'm callin' the shots, y'hear?
Play date end in a bad mood:
You got a lot of guts actin' a fool like this in front of me! You know I'm tougher'n I look! You'd best start cleanin' up your act before I see you next, else it's gonna be trouble... That's right, big trouble, trouble for you!
Sitting and chatting[]
Suggests to start the activity:
Hey! I think I saw somethin' wrigglin' around in the oasis! We'd best stake out here for a bit, I reckon!
Compliment appearance:
Ain't no surprise there! It's cuz of m'fine ancestry! I mean, just look at my face; taken from both sides of the family, generations of fine, fine ranchers, the whole lot of 'em!
Remind you of something? That's right, these lovely locks are red as a Eufaula sunset! My Pa reckons it's on account of the time I was born. My Ma reckons it's cause of "ge-ne-tics." Whatever that is!
Thank ye kindly! Not a lot of folk get my style, but you do! One day you gotta come roll with my posse. Don't worry, I'll vouch for ya!
Yeah, I reckon I do have some kinda spiffed out gear, thanks for noticin'!
Well, most of my gear is just meant for ease of gettin' around in the desert, 'cept for my scarf. I just wear that 'cause I think it's coooool!
Compliment work:
Us ranch girls, we come outta the womb ridin' a Yakmel! On the other hand, as time goes on, even the most tenacious of us get tuckered out from time to time, so... If you ever catch me takin' a breather, that's just part of the process.
Hah! Next time, say that in front of my Pa. He thinks I'm lazy and entitled, can you believe that?
Yeah, I reckon I keep a good outlook. I try to get done what needs to be done, then I leave all my worries at the ranch. Can't enjoy a good Yakmel ride when you're stressed about who got what delivered to where!
Thank you, kindly! I'm quite satisfied with my current line of work! Workin' part-time for the folks is a breeze!
Aw, it ain't hardly work. It's just doin' chores for Ol' Coop! One day I gotta get me a real job. Like... house sitter or dog walker or ice cream taster or... Ooh, how about monster hunter!
Compliment personality:
Ain't that the truth! Critters can sense my kindred spirit, flowers bloom when I walk by! I'm a gosh dang ray of sunshine! Only person who can't see it is my Pa who can't remember what it's like to be under 40. If I'm ever half as outta touch, I hope you give me a strong talkin' to.
I reckon you might be onto somethin', Player. Y'know, I always reckoned that the way animals react to somebody is the best indicator of what kinda person they are. And, well, I mean, heh... need I say more?
I just try to treat everybody decent! That's one thing my Pa has got right; he says everybody ought to treat everyone else the way they'd like to be treated! But, I dunno if he always practices what he preaches...
Well, I just try to do what my Ma tells me! Just be kind to everybody you meet! Cause you never know who you might be talkin' to! Could be the mayor! Unless it's a Yakmel. Could still be a real important Yakmel, though I reckon!
Really? You think so? Most folks think I got an "attitude problem," but no, you're right! I am great!
Asked about her past:
Back when I was a lil one, one time I found a baby Rocket Rooster misplaced from its home, so I took it on back to my place and kept it under my bed. After a time that lil bugger got hungry and started hollerin'. When my folks found out they blew a gasket and threw that little Rocket Rooster back into the nature from whence it came. I begged 'em not to. It wasn't hurtin' no-one! Honest! When they took that bird away from me, I cried and cried for days... I wonder if that's what you might call one o' them formative memories...
Well, I quit schoolin' cuz frankly speakin', my Ma and Pa don't know diddly 'bout squat! I still read books on my own time, though. I ain't against learnin', I just hate schoolin'! The day the school in Sandrock closed was a memorable day for me.
Now where to begin? I was born ridin' a Yakmel, and I was wrestlin' Geeglers by the time I was three! Huh? You want to hear about my real upbringin'? That's boring...
You know Jasmine, right? She's like half my age, right? She's into book learnin' and all that. Can you believe my old man once told me I oughtta take a page out of her book and be more "lady-like?" Nerve of that man! Jazz and her books, Heidi and her machinations, me an' my... total disregard for authority! We're all lady-like in our own way, ain't we? Ain't we!?
One time, I was goin' rock climbin', which is always perfectly safe, except for the one time that it wasn't... Stupid rock slipped when I grabbed onto it! Blink of an eye, I was hangin' by my shoelaces, and before I could regain my footin', snap! Down I went, careenin' towards certain doom, when all of a sudden, Logan on his horse jumped into the air and caught me! That's just one more reason why I don't care what everybody else says: Logan's one of the good guys!
We used to have a couple of monster hunters in town; they were the meanest mamma-jammas around! When they chop onions, the onions cry, and if you ever crossed 'em, they could kill you with the wink of an eye! I wanted to join 'em, but they ain't around no more...
Local legend has it that when I was born, my old man was so pleased that he set out tables and chairs for the whole town to come by and celebrate! Then, as is tradition, they laid out a couple of things for me to choose from: a rattle, a dress, a lasso... they say whatever a lil tyke likes as a baby'll tell you what they'll grow up to be like! My Ma still likes to tell how my Pa turned red as a beet when I crawled over and grabbed me up a Sandworm! But I don't place much faith in that junk, I mean, look how I turned out! I ain't hardly share nothin' in common with no Sandworm!
Dining[]
Suggests to start the activity:
I can hear my belly grumblin' up somethin' fierce! How's about we get somethin' to eat?
Asked about work:
My folks cut my allowance on account of me smashing into my Pa's antique milk bottle collection. Joke's on them though, I've been skimmin' off lil' pieces of Yakmel hair and sellin' 'em on the side!
My folks are always gettin' on to me 'cause I finish my tasks lickity split! My old man thinks somethin's wrong when you're not puttin' in foolish numbers of hours. I reckon that's hogwash: you gotta work smarter, not harder!
I'm havin' my doubts about all the tech scare my old man subscribes to; if machines can make our jobs easier, why don't we use 'em? And even if my old man won't use 'em... why can't I!?
My folks are always tryin' to get me to spend more time on the ranch, but I just can't do it! How am I supposed to act like I'm happy spendin' 9 hours doin' somethin' I don't give two licks about!?
Asked what she likes to do:
Well I can tell you what I don't like! Groomin' Yakmel, milkin' em... yeah I'll get out of that if I can. Trick is to offer to herd 'em up over towards Grandpa Mort's place, then, when no one's lookin', slip away and go do anything else!
I always like to spend some time with my animal friends around town. If you wanna join us, bring somethin' for the critters!
Asked about her favorite things:
What do I like? Well, here're a couple of things I never leave home without! This here's my lucky lasso, I call her "Lassie," and this here's m'lucky fishin' trap, I call her "The Fishinator!" Oh and this here's my slingshot- Wait a sec, I thought it was right... Uh oh...
There's nothin' more delicious than takin' a big bite out of a rare sandfish! Ooh, I'm itchin' for one right now! Every dish made with a rare sandfish is made that much better by its scarce availability!
Don't give me any frilly girly stuff, I'll rip it up! And don't you forget it!
When ordering food:
Aw snap, there's too many choices, I ain't even got a clue where to start! Alright, you pick, jus' make sure it's somethin' I like!
Happy with the food player has ordered:
I swear, you're jus' a mindreader, I'm tellin' ya! Every single thing what I was thinkin' you jus' done an' got me. Aw come on, don't try an' be polite, let's eat!
Neutral towards the food player has ordered:
These don't look that bad. Let's eat up, drink up, an' take lil' Belle out for a ride!
Unhappy with the food player has ordered:
Huh!? You stupid or somethin'? There ain't a single thing in here I can eat! Ah forget it, you jus' eat whatever you want. I'mma jus' get Ma to cook me up somethin' later.
Sand drawing[]
Suggests to start the activity:
You can draw anything on sand! Anything you can think of, that is. Let's do it an' have some fun!
Drawing successful:
Wow, Player! Ya ain't bad at this paintin' thing are ya? Look at you, buildin', paintin', is there anythin' you can't do?
Drawing unsuccessful:
I told ya we need ta do it like this! An' you kept blabberin' on "nooo," and now look what you gone an' done! It ain't even finished! I'mma go with Mi-an next time!
Fireworks[]
Suggests to start the activity:
Sure is real tranquil and what not out here... but we can fix that right up with some fireworks! Whaddya say?
Happy with the fireworks display:
Oh, wow that's just so darn pretty! It's better'en when I do 'em myself! Cool sounds, too! Jus' like when them Rocket Roosters let 'em off! Pewwww!
Unhappy with the fireworks display:
Alright I jus' can't hold it in anymore! This is the dangest mos' borin' thing I ever done seen in my whole entire life! How did you manage to ruin fireworks? I just... can't!
Whac-A-Mole[]
Suggests to start the activity:
Aw, I can't hit them moles, look how cute they are! But I guess it's just a game, right? Let's play!
Player wins:
Wowee, you're better'en even my Pa! I need ta spend more time in the Game Center if I wanna catch up to you!
Player loses:
Hot dang that was fun! No doubt, I saw them moles look me in the eye, ha, they was beggin' me for mercy! I mean... they sure were cute, huh?
Game ends in a draw:
Aw, that was a genuine nail-biter of a tussle! I nearly got the better of you! But hey, if ya can go toe-to-toe with me, then you're still pretty mean in my books!
Stargazing[]
Suggests to start the activity:
Most of them constellations are named after loadsa animals! I reckon I'm gonna find 'em all! Let's take a look!
All three constellations found:
Woah, I thought I was gonna teach all you about 'em, but dang! You really know your stars! Maybe we can even find one an' name it ourselves!
Two constellations found:
Aw what? It's already over? Dang, I nearly found that last one!
One or no constellations found:
My Pa says he's real good at stargazin'! Maybe he can help us next time.
Romance[]
Confession response[]
Accepted:
Wait, is this a Heart Knot!? Dagnabit, I bought one for you too! I swear we got some sorta bond! Alright, yeah of course! Hundred times yeah!
Rejected:
Huh? Is this for me? I ain't got time for all this sappy stuff right now, alright?
Rejected after a previous break-up:
What, you think I'm jus' go an' take this, an' everything's fine? Argh! I'm still mad at you!
What!? You must be kiddin'! Ain't you already got someone? The nerve on some people! I got half a mind to tell 'em!
Regular lines[]
Who'd've thunk a city slicker like you and a cowpoke like me would ever be in love? You know, if I was readin' about us in a book, I reckon my first thought would be: "Ain't this all a bit played out already?"
You really do love me for me, ain'tcha? You ain't just got a thing for country girls? 'Cause I sure as heck ain't got a thing for city-slickers... you were just so darn lovely, I had to make an exception!
Kinda crazy, the right person for me was waitin' for me right next door all along! If I coulda seen the future, I'da asked you out first day you came!
...Hm? Oh, nothin'. I was just lookin' atcha. You're a real cutie, in case you forgot!
What would all your city-folk Highwind friends say if they heard you were with an ole yakhand like me? Huh? If any of 'em talked like that to me, I hope for their own sake they know how to wrastle!
Tell me about your day, cutie! Uh huh? Uh huh... uh... Zzzz... Oh! I'm sorry, I was tryin' to be a proper girlfriend but... well, I don't like you 'cause of your job. That's okay, right?
I really want to use some sugar tooth romantic fancy talk, but urgh! I'd feel so dumb sayin' it! I reckon it ain't the kind thing we say... I... awww, you know what I mean!
My Ma and Pa have another anniversary comin' up. Imagine bein' together for that many years... imagine bein' married at all! Hahaha... like... what if you and me were married? I mean, that'd be crazy, right? Of course, I'm just messin' around...
During a sandstorm:
If yer goin' out on an' adventure, take me with ya! Sandstorms ain't nothin' to me, and besides, when I got you by my side, I ain't scared of nothin' anyhow!
On dates[]
Date starts:
Datin' ain't jus' about that fancy shmancy candlelit dinners! C'mon, let's go have some real fun!
Date ends in a happy mood:
Whaaat? It's already over? Aw shucks, the time done went by so fast, I didn't even notice! Today was too fun! We need ta date more often, lessee, how's three times a day sound...?
Date ends in a neutral mood:
Aww, I wanna keep hangin' out! Well, I guess I jus' gotta wait til next time, huh? See ya!
Date ends in an unhappy mood:
So uh... your datin' skills ain't up to scratch! I reckon I can forgive ya this time, but you gotta do better next time, alright? I ain't one for datin' fixer-uppers, ya hear me!?
Jealous[]
Caught the player cheating:
Are you kiddin' me!? You're the worst kinda degenerate, dung eatin', spiteful piece o' work I ever laid my eyes on. I musta been blind to spend a second with you!
Regular lines:
You git! I ain't wantin' to say another word to you, you darn rutabaga!
Oh what's that? Is this a wall in front of me? A stupid, ugly face wall? I hope this wall can get the message and just git!
Breakup response[]
Don'tya like me anymore? I... jus' leave me alone. I don't wanna see your face no more. I'mma go on a horse ride... think a while.
Breakup letter[]
If the player marries someone else while dating her:
You lily livered string bean! Ain't even got the guts to break things off face-to-face? I gotta just hear about it through the rumor mill?
Even a letter woulda been better than this! I was blinded by my feelings for you, but now I see who you really are.
You made a fool of me!

Marriage[]
Rejects the player's proposal:
What you doin' givin' me such a fancy ring for? I ain't ready to get married yet!
Accepts the player's proposal:
Haha, is this your proposal? Aw ain't you cute! Woah, that diamond is huuuuge! Oh! Yeah, of course! Of course I do! I do!
At the wedding ceremony:
Oh, Player, this is even better than I ever coulda imagined it! And when you said your vows... whew... pretty sure I went and fell in love with you all over again...
Well, shoot! Sure, I'll call you whatever you want! I'm keepin' my name the same though!
Regular lines:
Pet name, dang you really know how to keep a clean house! I reckon I shoulda had you when I was growin' up! Then Pa wouldn'ta been on my back so much!
Pet name, if ya need me to take care of the animals, jus' say the word. I can tell you anythin' they need! "Moo moo" that means they're hungry.
Pet name, Pa said he wants us to come by for dinner soon. I said he can come by an' eat with us any time, too!
Unhappy in the marriage:
The heck is wrong with you lately? I can speak to dang animals, but I can't get you to speak to me!?
Urgh. I'm gonna go for a ride later, clear my head a bit. Alone.
Divorce response:
You don't love me anymore? There's someone else ain't there? Lalala I ain't listenin', I don't wanna hear names! Well, if you leave, then don't expect us to be all buddy buddy, ya hear?
It's finally sinkin' in... I'm marrying my best friend! I love you, Player! You make me better. Everyone's sayin' it! But I think you knew it before anyone.
