2 | “…Young [name]… I bet you think… …that all I think about is money and how to make more of it, hm? Don’t you? [select Well, yeah.] Well, perhaps you’re right… But I’m absolutely, 100% OK with that, hm? Indeed! I like to think that it’s my job to show you young people how hard life is! As an adult, it’s my responsibility. It’s my TRUE job, if you will, hm?” | „I know that I look like the very embodiment of a successful businessman… In my youth, however, I had my share of terrible mistakes, you know! [select Really?] Yes, yes, that was a rough time for me… Accidents and mistakes are difficult to get over, hm? Yes, I lost more than just money. I lost a friend… Worst of all, my passion faded, and that is a thing no man can live without. …Listen up, [name]. "Easy" moneymaking schemes are NEVER easy, hm? If such a deal should present itself to you, I’d advise a quick retreat!” | “It is good for a businesscritter like myself to aquaint himself with the current market trends, yes, yes. “ | The Roost part-time job dialogues: One cup of coffee to go, yes, yes! One cup of the Kilimanjaro to go, yes, yes! One cup of coffee to go, with lots of milk, yes, yes! One cup of coffee to go, yes, yes! Hm, and only 1 spoonful of sugar. Ah, yes, yes! Thank you! ...Hm, yes, yes! That's perfect! That's just what I'd expect from someone training under Brewster! I must get back to my office, but I shall be returning again! Wh-what...? This is not a Kilimanjaro... I really wanted to drink my usual Kilimanjaro... It's OK, though! Thank you anyway! Wh-what...? This doesn't have a lot of milk in it at all... I really wanted to drink my coffee with lots of milk in it... It's perfectly OK, though! Thank you anyway! Wh-what...? This doesn't have the same sweet smell I'm used to... I always drink my coffee with just 1 spoonful of sugar... It's OK, though! Thank you anyway! Wh-what...?! It's not brimming with milk, and it's not as sweet as my usual, either. ...Well, it's OK! After all, Kilimanjaro is still my favorite! Thank you anyway! Wh-what...?! This is no Kilimanjaro, and it's not as sweet as my usual coffee, either. Hmmmm... Well, it does have plenty of milk just as I like, so it's OK! Thank you anyway! Wh-what...?! This is no Kilimanjaro and there's not a lot of milk either. Hmmmm... Well, it only has 1 spoonful of sugar just as I like, so it's all OK! Thank you anyway! No, no?! This is nothing like the coffee Brewster usually makes especially for me. Hmmmm... Well, it's not your fault. I didn't tell you exactly how I like my coffee. Thank you anyway! | Rebuilding your house: (This is the Gamecube version of this dialogue but it’s pretty much the same in every game, only the roof colors vary) “Thank you, (your name)! Thanks much! I very much appreciate you paying off your house in such a timely manner! You’re a dynamo, yes? I knew you’d pay it all back, (your name)! Never doubted! You’re quite responsible for someone your age! Is this your way of telling me your house is too small? Don’t be shy! It’s normal to want a bigger home, hm? It’s just animal nature! Well, if you like, I can remodel it for you nicely. I can easily make it bigger… Then, you’ll be able to fit a lot more furniture in it! And with more furniture comes more happiness! So, how about it, hm? Would you like me to remodel your house?” >> PLEEEASE! >> No, thanks… “That’s what I imagined. If anybody would want to remodel their house, it would be you, (your name)! So, since we’re remodeling, what color roof would you like your new house to have, hm? (Red, Orange, Yellow, Pale Green, Green Sky Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink, Black, White, Brown) – in other games the colors vary this goes for the Gamecube version Uh-oh! This is unfortunate. You didn’t find anything at all that pleased you? But those are the only colors I have available. You must choose one of them. My paws are tied here. I’ll list them off once again.” “I see, I see. Yes. (color) is a fine color. Very good, then. Well, I should be finished with the task tomorrow! I’ll bet you can’t wait!” | Business: “Order for (your name). The (item) you ordered has arrived.

Ho ho!" | New Horizons - Deserted Island Getaway Package dialogue: Timmy: Our fearless leader himself will be giving a presentation, so I'd hate for you to miss it. (follow Nooklings) I'll turn it over to you, Mr. Nook. Our three adventurers are ready to get started! Most excellent! Yes, yes! Then let us begin! Ahem... I welcome you to your very own island! I am Tom Nook, founder and president of Nook Inc. Nook Inc., your trusted partner for self-discovery, drawing a line, and new horizons. Yes, yes! Today is when your brand-new life on this - still a bit vacant - island is about to begin. Adventurous indeed! But fret not: Nook Inc. will not abandon you here of course, hm? We will live here together with all of you, and be there for you round the clock. All this is included in your Deserted Island Getaway package! But... one thing after the other. First, each of you will have to find a nice place to live. An important part, don't you think? As I am also working as a realtor, I am sure that we will build houses here eventually... But until we've reached that point, you should start with the most authentic island experience - living in tents! Get yours off Timmy or Tommy and go find yourselves some cozy spots, hm? We're all just getting used to this island, so just place your tent anywhere you like. Oh wait! With the exception of the town square, of course! We do need a public space for everyone to come together, yes, yes! Are you having troubles finding a nice spot? Not to worry! Just choose one you're drawn to! Follow your instincts! Always works for me, yes, yes! And in case you regret your decision later - we can always have a chat about moving your home to a different location. This island is just as new to me as it is to you, so I'm afraid I can't really give you a recommendation. And furthermore, there is a small favor I need to ask of you... Please do not touch the items on the floor and don't shake any trees, no, no! After all, we have to finish the necessary paperwork first, hm? > Tom Nook still needs me. I'll have a look at the tent later. Ah, [name]. Did you find a comfy little spot for your tent, hm? You are the first to come back, so I believe the others are still scouting! Seeing that you've already gotten to know the place a little, I'm sure the others would be more than glad to be advised by you, yes, yes! Hmm... [Villager] has not yet returned, so I suppose he/she is still looking for the best place for his/her tent. Would you be so kind as to lend him/her a helping hand? I simply can't wait to get to the next step of the process! Welcome back, everyone! I hope you've all found the perfect places for your dream homes. But of course, there is no need to rush, hm? There is no harm in taking a step back and getting some good night's sleep to really get a feel for how it suits you. And with that taken care of, we can move on to more serious business... Namely, a big welcome party in your honor! In proper style with a crackling camp fire right here at the town plaza! We'll just need a few supplies to get started, yes? Since we'll all be living here together... this will be a good test of our teamwork! Let's see... Timmy, [Villager1], Tommy, and [Villager2] can set up things here in the plaza. Meanwhile, [name] and I will work on gathering firewood and perhaps a little snack! Alright, everyone. Let's get to it! And, [name], would you come see me for a moment? Ahem! Would you please come talk to me for a second? It's about the organization of our little island community, hm? Thanks, [name]! I just wanted to go over what we'll need for the campfire. I think roughly... hmmm... 10 tree branches should do the trick. Yes, yes, That should do! You can find them scattered about the island. So, when you find one lying on the ground, just press Y to pick it up! Simple, is it not? In the meantime, I'll investigate the [fruit]-like items growing in the trees. I suspect they're real [fruit], I can smell it! Hm? Having troubles collecting the 10 tree branches? Are there not enough scattered about? Oh, hold on! Think about it! What if we just gave the trees a little shake? Yes, brilliant! Just press A while standing in front of a tree to shake it. Don't worry if nothing falls down the first time! Just hang in there, wood you? And you'll succeed! Hm? What kind of tree branches we need? Ah, trust me, a fire isn't as picky as you might think! As long as it's thin and wooden and used to be a part of a tree, I'm quite positive it's a branch... Hm? You want me to repeat my explanation to you? Gladly! Just press Y to pick up items. And don't worry if you pluck some weeds by accident. It's a good thing in fact! With every accidental pluck, our island gets more tidy and beautiful! If you get confused with keeping count of the tree branches, no worries! Just press X! Pressing the button will help you tree-mendously! It will show you everything you have in your bag. Ah, welcome back, [name]! I trust you had some success foraging for tree branches? Let me re-count them real quick, hm? Oho ho. That's more than I had asked for! I will take 10 and leave you the rest. Then If I may... Hepp! Thanks much! Splendid! These will make for a great camp fire. You made quick work of that, yes, yes! Your diligence is truly a blessing for this desolate island! Goodness, how lucky I am to share this place with such a hard worker, oho! Oh and speaking of it, I was also lucky with our campfire-snack-quest! While you were collecting branches, I was evaluating the fruit that seems to be abundant here. They look like [fruit], they smell like [fruit], and they even taste like [fruit]. In fact... my deduction skills tell me that they are 100 percent, without-a-doubt, genuine [fruit]! So, will you collect 6 of them for me? Now, I'm sure you don't need much guidance here, but just in case... If you see a tree growing [fruit], you can press A to shake it. Then just pick the fruit up! I'm sure you'll have plenty of [fruit] for us all in no time. Well, well, what do I see here? Looks a lot like a satisfactory supply of tasty [fruit]! I knew it, yes, yes! There is just no-one who could rival your collection-skills! Thanks again! I'll take the [fruit] of your hands then and get started with the preparations. Would be an eternal wait, if we expected some catering here, oho ho... Now, is that everything... Yes, yes, I believe it is! Then let's get started with the festivities right away! At last, allow me to properly welcome you to your new island! I have participated in many ventures and endeavors over the years, but this may be the most exciting. My, my! Helping develop a thriving new community entirely from scratch will truly test my business acumen. And perhaps my skills as an outdoorsman, hm? Oho! Now, we may not have the kind of numbers that I originally envisioned... But that just means we'll have to rise to the challenge, yes, yes! And I have no doubt that, with hard work and perseverance, we'll shape this deserted island into- Oh! I suppose calling it a deserted island does not do it justice anymore, hm? But what SHOULD we call it... I sense a great opportunity! As the first residents of this island, we should be the ones to name it. And, in the spirit of democracy, we should put it to a vote. Majority rules, hm? So, take a little time to ponder over it, and when everyone is ready, everyone will call out their suggestion, okay? Alright! Is everyone ready? Happy with your ideas? Let's try saying the island names all at the same time! Ready...? GO! What splendid variety! Yes, yes! Very imaginative! Each one a potential gem. Now for the voting. I'll say each name in order, and you can clap for the one you think is best. [name] seems to have the enthusiasm and the naming sensibilities. Let's start there... Sooo, [name]suggested... [island name]! Oho, look at that! That's a true fan favorite! Everyone is clapping! I suppose if everyone is in agreement... we could just go with [island name], hm? Splendid! Then, from now on, this island will be known as [island name]. Well then, [name]... Since you've proven yourself by naming [island name]... I'd like to rely on you for other critical decisions we'll need to make on this island. Yes, yes! I hereby name you the Resident Representative of [island name]! [name], could you please say a word or two as the new spokesperson for your neighbors? > Howdy! > A word or two! > You can count on me! Hm... So now we've settled on a name for our island and we've selected our Resident Representative. It's been a big day, but it's gotten rather late, so let's have a toast! Everyone have a beverage in hand? It's fresh juice made from the [fruit] our new Resident Representative harvested on this very island! Then, without further ado... a toast! To [island name] and the happiness of its residents! Cheers! Timmy: We're supposed to be the experts here, but in truth, we haven't even lived on a deserted island before... We will grant you the best support possible, but at the end of the day it's a big adventure for us as well! Ah, [name]! Having a good time, yes? I know this is all a bit much, so if you feel like taking a short nap in your tent, by all means, go ahead! We'll keep the fire burning. > Maybe I'll go do that. Sounds good to me! But first, you'll probably want this... It's your very own camping cot! Just set it up in your tent, so you don't have to sleep on the ground. Oh, and there are some packages waiting in your tent as well, hm? Just a few items that might be useful. To open packages and use the things inside, press A. And when you're ready, you can move L to crawl into bed. We've got another big day ahead of us tomorrow - the beginning of your brand-new island life, so rest up as much as you can tonight. Yes, yes, that's all from me for now. Bed time! Sweet dreams, [name]! > I'm not tired yet! Of course. You work hard and you play hard, hm? By all means, carry on! Just stop by and see me for a quick chat before you turn in. I have something to give you! I do hope you can make good use of the items inside your tent. To use a piece of furniture or any other item, simply stand in front of it and press A. [Name]! Are you in there? Oh, I hope I haven't woken you abruptly. Ah, but I do wish to discuss something with you. Yes, yes! I'll be here when you're ready. Ah, there you are! I hope you had a pleasant nap. Or, well... I suppose it was a bit more than a nap, wasn't it? It's a brand-new day! > I slept that long?! > Wow. I needed that. Oh ho ho! Yes, it's quite normal to be worn out from such a long trip - and a major life event! Speaking of which... I have a few more things that you might find useful as you adjust to life in our little paradise. First, you'll need one of these, yes? It's your very own NookPhone! I had these made especially for island residents. Ah wait, I want to make sure it's working right, so could you try turning it on for me, hm? Good, good. Looks like you're getting good reception as well. OK, feel free to put it away now. Say, [name], have you ever used a smartphone before? > Sure have! > I have one of my own! Very good! Then this should be a breeze for you. If truth be told, I think you'll even find it much more useful that the phone you already have. > Nope, never! Is that right? Now that's just wonderful! I'd even say you are especially made for the island life! But that being said, I'm sure you'll find the NookPhone quite useful as soon as you've become familiar with it. Oh, I have one more thing for you... It's your itemized bill! So, this includes everything - airfare, accomodations, labor, tax... and of course your NookPhone, yes, yes! Bringing your grand total to the modest sum of... 49,800 Bells! > OK! > Bells? > What are Bells? Oh ho ho! Truly a good one, [name]. Hm? You're being serious?! Yes, of course... I can't believe I didn't think of this... Well, Bells are a currency that can be exchanged for goods or services here on [island name]. Ah, but there's still the problem that you don't actually HAVE any... Oh yes, of course! Well, no need to worry, no, no! I was prepared for exactly this type of thorny situation! For the getaway package, you can pay your fees with miles instead of the standard Bells. I call this extremely helpful service... the Nook Mileage Program! Well, it's quite extraordinary, if I may say so myself. The Nook Mileage Program allows you to earn miles by simply living your life here on [island name]! I daresay, the more you enjoy your island life, the more Nook Miles you can earn. And you can use them to pay back your move-in fees... and much more! So, esentially that means that you'd need a total of 49,800 Bells for your move-in fees - if you had to pay them the old-fashioned way. But since you can make use of my wonderful new service instead... it only comes to a mere 5,000 miles! I'll just go ahead and register you so that from now on, you can pay in miles! Also, there are more details available within your NookPhone. Just open the Nook Miles app! You'll be happy to find that you've already earned yourself some miles just for traveling to the island and joining the program! Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get back to a few other matters. But let me heartily congratulate you once again on your arrival! I'm so happy to have you as a resident of [island name] and a client of Nook Inc.! Villagers: If you didn't try your hand at the workbench yet, just go talk to Tom Nook. Folks say he's offering a FREE workshop at the service center. Couldn't believe it myself at first... Oh, did you hear? Tom Nook is offering a free DIY workshop. He taught me how to build handy tools, just by using the materials scattered all around the island! DIY truly is amazing! The course is free of charge, so go talk to Tom Nook! In-Game Settings: Greetings, [name]. This is where I take on important requests related to settings. The requests I accept here are very serious ones, so children should get help from a parent or guardian. Now, what settings would you like to talk about today? [He can delete save data, activate the island backup feature, and you can set up NookLink for the Nintendo Switch Online App.] Ah, [name]! Welcome, welcome! As you can see, it is quite cozy in here. It's funny how "cozy" doesn't always mean "comfortable", hm? Let me know if you need advice on how to spend your time on this island... or anything else! If you need some advice about basic island materials, you should talk to Timmy. He can help you procure some of the essentials for thriving in our little paradise. And if you want to earn some Bells, he has a rather generous policy of purchasing just about anything. Not strictly advisable from a business perspective, but definitely generous. Yes, yes! Oh! One more important thing... I'm offering a free DIY workshop that can help you really build out your island experience. I think it would be quite beneficial to you, so I do hope you take me up on it, hm? Oh! How could I forget, hm? I should give you a brief explanation about that terminal, yes, yes. That... is our Nook Stop. It's a terminal for services that will make your island life more simple - and more fun! At the moment you can use two services, [name]. The first is Nook Shopping. It's a catalog shopping service for items that can be hard to find on an island. Second, this terminal serves as an Automatic Bell Dispenser - or ABD - for the Bank of Nook. We're also working on a service by which you'll be able to redeem Nook Miles for various things... Please do take advantages of these wonderful services as much as you like! Quite beneficial, indeed! Yes, yes! Oh! How silly of me to forget! I need to give you a brief introduction to that box there. That is a recycle box for all the island residents to use. We'll be using it for items removed during construction and other items the villagers do not have a use for anymore. Yes, yes! If you see anything you like, feel free to take it right on home. If the box gets full, we'll get rid of the oldest items first, so don't delay in picking out what you want, hm? Ah, [name] Hello, hello! How may I help you, what do you need? I'm all ears! > What should I do? Yes, yes... That IS the question... Ah! Tell you what! You didn't participate in my DIY workshop yet, hm? This would open up great new possibilites to you and I would even go as far as to say that DIY is an imperative on this island! And it goes without saying that this workshop is free of charge. No hidden costs! So I can only recommend it to you. > About my moving fees... Oh! You'd like to pay your moving fees? You owe me 5000 miles. Please do come and see me again, once you've earned some, hm? However, there's no need to rush, no, no! Enjoy your island life and just collect the miles as you go! Very well! You owe 5,000 miles. > I'm ready to pay! Thank you so much! Indeed! That is 5,000 miles and not a mile less. With that, your move-in fees have been paid in full. This is a happy day for both of us, um? Yes, yes... You're free and clear of debt, living on a thriving scenic island... What could be better? Oh! That wasn't actually a rhetorical question! Let me be more specific. How IS that tent treating you? > It's fine, I guess. Oho! Just "fine"? But consider - doing "fine" on an island that had been completely desolate before is actually quite something, hm? Together we will turn this inhospitable wastela-... Uhm, I mean, pristine paradise, into a lovely community! But we may not rest on what we have achieved. Perhaps there is more we can do? > It could be better. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Ah, but no one ever said that developing an island paradise would be easy. But we don't do things because they are easy, hm? We do them because they are profitable! Well, if you are growing weary of life in a tent... Yes, yes... I suppose the time is right to discuss the possibility of building custom homes! Now, there are certain challenges to building fabulous homes in a remote location such as this. Challenges that do translate directly into costs, I'm afraid. Ah, but with zero-interest financing and an extremely lax repayment plan, anything is possible! So, [name]... If you ever find yourself interested in a new home, do come see me. Oh! One more thing to share... We have a miles-redemption service for the Nook Miles you've collected. When you access the Nook Stop, you'll be able to redeem your miles for lots of interesting things. You'll be sure to check it out sometime soon, hm? Well then, I hope you continue to enjoy your getaway-package life! Hold the phone - someone's calling! Blathers, is that you? Oho, what splendid timing! Yes, yes... Do you remember the venture we discussed? Well, it's come to fruition! Thanks much! I'm currently helping the residents of an island that we've decided to call [island name]! Oh yes! One of them is helping me to collect samples of the local fauna. They are as abundant as expected. Just as I told you! Mm-hmm... How many precisely, you ask? Well, there is no way of knowing just yet. But I have received... let's see...´five outstanding specimens so far! Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm... What?! Seriously?! Well, yes, yes! That would be fantastic! Oh! But you'll have to excuse me. I'm with a customer right now. I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. That was my old friend, Blathers, the one who curates a museum. Believe it or not, he's going to come to our island to help us identify and preserve the local creatures! Ah, but I could use your help with this, [name]... Since you've been outside scouting and collecting for me so much already, would you be so kind as to help me find a nice spot for Blathers? We'll need a good-sized space to really build out a world-class museum... so do keep that in mind. The spot should be around as big as the one for your tent, hm? How exciting! What a big step for our island. Yes, yes! Oh, I think I may know something! My good friend Blathers will be coming to [island name]. Would you please assist me in finding a good spot for him? As big as the one for your tent, would be quite enough, yes, yes! Ah, [name]! I take it you found a suitable spot for Blathers to set up, hm? > It's perfect! I can truly always count on you! Thank you! I'll let Blathers know that he can move in as soon as he wants. In any case, you just got here, so I'd hate to see you push yourself too far on day one, hm? But it's no fur off my nose if you want to rack up those Nook Miles and pay me back quickly! I've got a few tips for racking up the ol' Nook Miles, so don't hesitate to ask if you need a little advice. Well... I don't mean to rush you, but there is the small matter of your move-in fees. Putting in some work to chip away at those is always time well spent, if you ask me! Of course, if you're looking for an easy way to rack up some miles quickly, a little weeding never hurt. Weeding makes our island prettier, earns you miles, and you can even sell the weeds when you're done. That's quite the deal! Of course, a good way to earn a lot of miles in a hurry is to collect lots of creatures and catch lots of fish. So, go on - craft a net or fishing rod if you need one and get after them! At your convenience, naturally. By the way, thanks much for finding a nice spot for Blathers! But you're in need of advice, hm? Well then... now that your move-in fees have been paid... How about a real home? Yes, yes! Custom homes would help [island name] grow! We can talk about the details anytime, yes, yes! Oh! [name]! Have you made a decision about home ownership? Ready to move forward into comfort and luxury? As fun as living in a tent can be, a house gives you more space and helps you put down roots. Now, building a house means taking out a new loan in the amount of 98,000 Bells... So, what do you think? Ready to build your own home sweet home? > Let me think on it. Yes, yes! This purchase should be well thought-out. Just come see me once you've made up your mind, hm? > It's fine. It's fine indeed, yes, yes! I'm happy to see you taking the initiative by exploring your new home. Yet still, please do not hesitate to ask for help, if you need it. That's what we're here for, hm? Ah, I see, you've spotted my crafting workbench. Yes, yes! The DIY workshop! Each participant will make and keep their own tools and receive a set of DIY recipes. Quite useful for the island life, hm? So then, shall I put you down for the next available session? > I'd love to! Yes, yes! That's the island spirit! I happen to be free right this very moment, so let's get started. Welcome to my little DIY workshop! Oh, I suppose "workshop" is overselling it a bit, hm? When you see how simple it is to DIY, or "do it yourself", you'll understand what I mean. The fundamental idea is to gather materials, follow a recipe, and then craft using a workbench like this one! Today, we'll be constructing a fishing rod using common materials that you can find anywhere, yes? For this particular recipe, we require a mere 5 tree branches. It is, admittedly, a little flimsy... Now then, come see me once you've collected the materials, hm? Ah, [name]. Found the necessary materials, hm? Well then! Let's get started on crafting that fishing rod. Yes, yes! To begin, just select a project from the workbench and get started. Go ahead - give it a try! Ah! I see you've collected the tree branches. Just stand in front of the workbench to get started! Yes! Perfect! As you can see, crafting is quite straightforward, provided you have the correct recipes, hm? And that already concludes my free DIY workshop! Oh! Just one last thing. I have a few common DIY recipes for you. Free of charge, needless to say! I'll just send them to your NookPhone. Would you mind opening it up? Splendid, thank you. The DIY app is now installed on your NookPhone and ready for you to use anytime. And the flimsy fishing rod you just crafted is yours to keep! It may not last... forever... but it should serve you well for a while at least. A little while... Speaking of fishing, I am no master angler, but there is one piece of advise I can share with you! In my experience, you should aim in front of the shadow of a fish when you cast your line. Yes, yes! I would love to see anything you manage to catch. I've got to say, I'm quite curious about the local fauna. Well, there are many most interesting creatures to look at on our little island. Apart from us, I mean... Yes, yes... equipped with a fishing rod and a net, you can catch all kinds of fish and insects. I'm looking forward to what you can find. If you catch something, no matter what it is, bring it to me, hm? > I found a creature! Oh, that's most excellent! Let's have a look, shall we? Oh, what a catch! If I'm not mistaken, I do believe this is a/n [fish/insect]. Hm... If this island can support a [fish/insect]... Why, who knows what other fantastic creatures we might find living here! [name], I have an idea! An old friend of mine runs a museum, and I'd love to send it to him for a closer look. Would that be fine with you? > I don't know... Oho! Not sure? Then I'll go ahead and give this back to you, but perhaps you'll rethink this, hm? I do not wish to irritate you further, but... It would be for science, yes, yes! Would you be so kind as to donate the [fish/insect] to us? I can tell, my friend from the museum would be most fascinated by it! > OK! Thanks much! I promise that I'll take exceptional care of your [fish/insect]. Oh! That reminds me... This is in no way tied to your generous donation just now, but I do have a useful app to present to you! I sent you the Critterpedia app. It's a terrific resource for an aspiring island researcher such as yourself. With this one app, you'll get all the important details about the bugs and fish you catch. Yes, yes! I am certain that you'll continue to fill it up with your discoveries - and share them with me too! Surely, I'll be able to come up with some kind of additional reward, hm? Oh, you've got more to show me? I'll be happy to have a look at everything you bring in! Splendid! What do you have for me this time? Would you mind if I sent this magnificent creature along to my museum-curating friend as well? Oh, by the way... Have you been taking advantage of my workbench to keep trying your hand at DYI lately? > I have! > Not really... Oh, that's excellent! Come to think of it, I have seen you tinkering around a bit over there. Keep up the good work then! In this case I wish to share more of my DIY recipes with you, yes, yes! Would you mind turning on your phone? I just sent you a number of DIY recipes that require wood... along with the recipe to craft an axe! Yes, yes, that broadens your crafting repertoire quite a bit, don't you agree? I think an axe would come in quite useful on this island... Because so many other things are made of wood, hm? I do hope that you'll keep bringing me new discoveries to examine. For the sake of this island AND for science! Yes, yes! By the way, I have a proper reward for you this time. I've given you a red-windflower bag - just a little sampling of a product we sell. Go ahead and do some planting, and after a few days, you'll have beautiful blooming flowers! Just try and see for yourself, hm? And if you enjoy gardening, you can always stop buy and buy more! Well, you've found another [fish/insect], I see! I am still in possession of the last one you found, so I'll give this one back to you. Please feel free to keep it... or sell it! And if you do find something new, do please share it with me, yes? Oho! Remember the flower samples I gave you? There is something I forgot to mention! The flowers that grow will be very strong. They'll spring up even if you just plant and forget about them... Ah, but if you water them each day... that's where the true magic happens! Watering opens up the possibility of propagating and crossbreeding your flowers to develop rare colors! And how might you water them, you ask? Well now, I've just sent you the DIY recipe for a watering can! My accountants would shake their heads, if they knew that I was giving this sort of thing away for free... But you've collected so many creatures for me, [name], so this is just part of island give-and-take, hm? > DIY? Yes, yes! DIY enables you to craft your own items - like tools or furniture! Back in the day, Nook Inc. would never have given away something like this for free, but the world keeps turning, hm? > Another time... Of course, of course. Come see me once you're ready, hm? Test, test, one, two, three... HELLO, EVERY- Oh dear. So, so sorry about that! Phew, that was loud... Hello, everyone! Starting today, I'll be doing an island-wide broadcast full of island updates, going-ons, and such, hm? I'll go over some things that are very important to island life, so lend me your ears for a short time, yes, yes! Now... it's only fitting that we kick off this daily ritual with a doozy of an island announcement... The [island name] airport is now open for business! Starting today, you can use online or local communication to fly to other islands for a visit. That's not all. No, no! The airport counter now offers postal services! And just like the Resident Services center, the airport is open 24 hours a day. So please do drop by for a look! That's all from me. I do hope you all enjoy another fine day of luxurious [island name] living. Yes, indeed! Hello, everyone! This is Tom Nook! It's [time and date]. Now for today's news... As of this very day, a brilliant fellow by the name of Blathers will be joining us on [island name]! Blathers has a keen interest in biology - past and present - and he's here to study [island name]. I sincerely hope everyone lends their cooperation, hm? Inquisitive residents should stop by his tent for details! And that's it! With that I wish everyone a fantastic day on [island name], yes, yes! Some stunning news just in! We're moving forward with construction of the [island name] Museum! Neither Blathers nor I imagined we'd be getting ready to build a museum on his very first day on the island! We're truly grateful for everyone's cooperation. Anyhoo, we've started construction for the museum at the very spot where Blathers had his tent! "So sorry to inconvenience you all like this today. 'Tis a shame to suspend your scientific endeavors. However, I hope having our splendid new museum completed by tomorrow will make up for this little setback!" That... was a little message Blathers asked me to pass on to all of you. ...So you see, since the number of homeowners is increasing, I do agree with you that we need to build a shop. Nonetheless, when it comes to building supplies, our customers' homes should take priority... Yet still, I have every confidence that you'll find a way to handle this little puzzle. After all the two of you have been training under me for how many years now, hm? This should be a piece of cake! Well, hello there, [name]! Are you happy with your home? Is it meeting your expectations? I bet you'll be a lot more comfortable now! Houses are so different from tents, hm? You can freely change up the flooring and wallpaper... And you've got some built-in storage so you can put away any furniture you aren't using. Oh yes! There's more... All homeowners are automatically registered with the Happy Home Academy. The HHA, as we call it, will evaluate your home on a regular basis and send you helpful advice. They even send rewards to members whose homes achieve high ratings! Their evaluations won't intrude on your day-to-day life, so there's no need to worry. Just enjoy the fun! Which brings us to... your new home loan! That'll be 98,000 Bells, please! > Can I pay in miles? Oh, I'm sorry. That was a special offer that only applied to your initial getaway-package fees. Loan payments will have to be made in Bells. Ah, but do not worry. You can pay in installments, big or small. Payments can be made using the ABD feature of the Nook Stop. I think that's everything I need to tell you about homes today. But I do have a nice surprise for you! I do hope you're ready for this... it's a premium miles-redemption item: a Nook Miles Ticket! > A Nook Miles Ticket? A Nook Miles Ticket is a special travel voucher you can only get by redeeming Nook Miles. It's a conundrum, hm? We want to improve our island, but still hold on to that deserted-island magic... Well, well, now you can do both! You can use one of these tickets to do some island-hopping adventuring, yes, yes! Go any time you want! Maybe you're looking to meet some new characters or gather materials for DIY projects. Your trip is yours to enjoy in the way you like. I've left your ticket at the counter in the airport, so use it whenever the travel mood strikes. Now then, go enjoy life in your freshly built home! Indeed! Ah, this is good timing, actually. I've been meaning to talk to you about Timmy's shop. Or rather... I've been meaning to point you in Timmy's direction. He should have the details for you, hm? Timmy: (asking for your help with building the store) I've already spoken with our fearless leader, of course. He always wishes to expand anyway, you know. Oh, many thanks that you're lending us a helping hand with the collection of materials for the store! | |||||||||||||||||
3 | The Roost dialogue (Nook can visit between midnight and 1:30 am): “I actually enjoy rather sweet things over the course of a day, but… Lately I’ve been limiting myself to 1 spoonful of sugar! Yes, even I have started to worry about keeping myself strong for years to come. Come now. What would this town do without Nook, hm…?” Ah! Hello there! You here for a cup of coffee too, [name]? [name], do you have any preference when it comes to coffee beans, hm? I have eyes only for the Kilimanjaro Brewster serves here! Mm, it's so delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, you should really give it a shot, yes, yes! I know coffee is coffee, but I prefer mine with a lot of milk, just like a café au lait. Mm, so refreshing! I try to balance it out by cutting back on the sugar.... My doctor shouldn't have any complaints! Hello to you,[name]! We seem to run into each other rather often in this little café, yes, yes! Hello to you, [name]! How have you been lately, hm? Ah![name]! So good to see you, yes, yes! Hello there,[name]! It seems this is a popular spot for both of us, yes yes! [name], you seem to be what I've heard called a "night owl." We both must make sure to keep an eye on our health, though! Ah, [name]! I was thinking you would show up soon. I was just chatting with Brewster here! Brewster: Please, relax if you'd like. By the way, [name], how is your house working out for you, hm? If you ever feel the urge for a little remodeling, please do stop by my place! I can help, yes, yes! I've been in the sales industry a long time, but only recently I've decided real estate is best. I had fun running a store, but for some reason I just couldn't break out of the usual routine... That's why right now, I'm using my previous experience but learning something new every day. It's gone a long way toward adding excitement to my life, yes it has! | “My point is, [name]… This town is laid-back and easy to live in. Life in the city is completely different… It’s a scary place, yes? It’s a place where, unless you have money, no one will give you the time of day… It’s just as they say, hm? A concrete jungle! [select Really?] Yes, yes, really. Assuredly! Take the big-city banks, for example… They will deny a young man a loan, though they know nothing of his character! But I’m smarter now, yes? I know that you must take the branch manager out! You must woo his financial instincts if you are to get him on your side, hm? Yes, yes, sadly, I lacked that knowledge when I was a young, naive raccoon. In fact, I got so upset that I went on a tirade to end all tirades, hm? And the rest is history. Yes, yes, sad history… Back then, I was so very ignorant, hm? But such is the price of the passion of youth…“ | “The younger ones can’t grow if the older ones meddle too much!” | “You haven’t changed yet! What did you do with your uniform? That was store property, you know!” “You haven’t changed yet? What did you do with your work clothes? Hm? Hm? Unbelievable… Here, take this new set, but you must change into them this time!” “AUGGGH! Why are you not wearing your work clothes?! I say! Kids these days, thinking every day should be casual Friday… Is the uniform I’ve chosen for my employees so unpleasant to wear? …But I can’t be a dinosaur in the modern day, can I. Wear what you want. Just make sure it doesn’t leave my customers feeling uncomfortable, hm? A workplace must maintain a modicum of dignity, after all.” You still haven't dressed! (explains the controls) And there you go! Come, come! Hurry up and change! AAAAAAAAH! Where are your work clothes? Today's youth must think that it isn't cool to follow some basic rules anymore... Quite shocking! ...Well, it doesn't matter. You can wear anything you want, as long as it doesn't scare away my customers. That makes sense even to you, hm? You haven't changed yet! And what did you do with your work clothes, hm? Hmmmmph... I'll give you another one, but now I must insist that you change! | Rebuilding is completed: “Welcome! Do come in! Your smiling face is like a treasure in the discount rack of my day! As I’m sure you’ve noticed, your house is finished! How do you like it? Are you pleased with the work, hm? You’ll soon learn to love all that extra space, I assure you! Now there’s plenty of room for furniture! Now then, I always hate this part…but we need to settle the matter of the cost of your remodeling… Building expenses are costly right now, I’m afraid… Yes… …The bill came to (for example) 398,000 Bells! What can I say? Houses don’t expand on their own! Of course, there’s no need to pay me right this moment. Just continue to pay it off through the post office, like before. And remember…I treasure your business!” | “I’ve heard certain…rumors that concern me lately. Perhaps you have as well, yes?” | “Tom Nook has been feeling mighty pleased with himself ever since he remodeled Nook’s Cranny into the Nook n’ Go. He has to work longer hours – seven AM until eleven PM – but hey! That’s big business!” | Trivia: - The Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 Update has introduced game tips that appear during the loading screens once the player has purchased the phone application "Island Life 101". Those tips are hosted by Tom Nook and Isabelle (and Lottie if you own Happy Home Paradise). - There is an Animal Crossing Manga, the "Deserted Island Diary", that currently consists of 4 volumes. While Tom Nook does appear in it, I did not add those dialogues here, since the manga is mainly aimed at a very young audience and more of a parody in nature. - In "Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival" the board game features a special event for Tom Nook's birthday. [30.05.] - Several fan wiki pages state that Celeste has a crush on Tom Nook. However, I was not able to confirm this in any of the games. - On Halloween, he is seen wearing red horns in New Horizons. - Tom Nook's catchphrases are: "yes", "no" and "hm?". He also seems to use "oho" and "splendid" a lot. - His laugh is: “Whoa ho ho ho ho ho” or simply “Ho ho ho ho ho!” - In the Japanese version of Animal Crossing called Dōbutsu no Mori e+, Tom will, reluctantly, open his store at night: He appears wearing a nightgown and with a cushion in his paw after the player bangs against the door using a shovel... This event implies that Tom Nook sleeps inside of his store. This is (roughly) what he says during this event: “It's a bit too much to awaken me like that, hm? Couldn’t you just wait until we opened? Eh... Business at 2 in the morning isn’t really ordinary... [name], these items will be raised by 30%. Now just look around the store. Slowly.“ - In Kirby: Planet Robobot, one of the possible transformations with the Stone ability is a golden Tom Nook statue. - He apparently blushes when somebody squishes his belly! ~ (as seen in one of the promo videos) - The Nintendo Direct trailer implies that he is personally involved in making the new Animal Crossing title for Nintendo Switch. - He is not a playable character in the Smash Series but there are trophies, an avatar and a sticker for him – and also: He appears on the Animal Crossing Stage “Smashville” and during the final Smash of the villager. - Shrunk implies that Tom Nook could, in fact, be human or at least not an actual raccoon. “We all wear masks. You, me, Tom Nook (well, he wears a raccoon suit).” - Saharah refers to him as “King Nook.” - Tom Nook also appears in the 2010 Nintendo Collector's Edition of Monopoly with K.K. Slider and Rosie in the light blue grids. He is worth 120 US dollars on the game board, the highest of the Animal Crossing characters that appear in the game. - You can hear cranky villagers complain about his prices. - Before Resetti gives you his usual speech, he informs you that Tom Nook should have already given you his “song and dance” about the importance of saving. - Tom Nook shows you the design of wallpapers and carpets by laying them out/putting them on the walls in his own shop. - He has stated since the first Animal Crossing game, that he is not in the best shape - In the later Animal Crossing installments, the villagers mention that he found Timmy and Tommy as orphans and took them under his wing - He is a big fan of K.K. and his favorite song is "K.K. Lament". - In Japanese folklore, tanuki are often depicted as mythical creatures with shapeshifting powers. Using leaves, they can assume different forms, generally doing so to pull pranks on humans; this is likely why pocketed furniture items are stylized as leaves in the Animal Crossing series. Tanuki cloth is also associated with wealth and money in Japanese culture, which might be the inspiration behind Tom's financial success. - Even though he is depicted as a raccoon, Tom Nook is a Japanese raccoon dog/tanuki - so actually not closely related to raccoons, but closer to wolves and foxes. - Companionship and family is important for these critters, so they usually live in monogamous pairs or in small, close-knit groups. Male raccoon dogs, in particular, have an exceptional reputation for being both compassionate partners and fathers. - Technically speaking, Tom Nook is not actually a landlord. (despite often being referred to as one) The money you pay him is not your rent, but the construction expenses for your house. - Two of Crazy Redd's passwords in Wild World actually seem to have been invented by him purely to bash on Tom Nook. 1) Question: "Someone to wed" Answer: "no way Nook" 2) Question: "Tom Nook" Answer: "one ugly fellow" Besides, Redd's passwords reveal to us that he was 35 years of age during the events of Animal Crossing: Wild World - a useful clue for us to estimate Tom Nook's age. - Creators of Animal Crossing believe that Tom is misunderstood. Both Hisashi Nogami (New Horizons Producer) and Aya Kyōgoku (New Horizons Director) have spoken out in his favor. N: "It’s really hard to choose one. If I have to pick one, I think it’s Tom Nook. This is background information on Tom Nook, but he was unsuccessful earlier in his life. Because of this early failure he has this sense of sadness to him. This is something that you’re able to learn a little about in Animal Crossing: Wild World. So, although he may seem like a strict capitalist to some, you do have to notice he’ll wait forever without adding any interest to your loan. He is a man with a huge heart and somebody that you can really depend on." [Nintendo Insider, 3rd of July, 2019] "[Making money] is one of the biggest motivations that users have to continue playing Animal Crossing, and Tom Nook is the man behind the motivation." "He's an adult, so he's very careful with money." [The Verge, 18th of March, 2020] "Well, I do want to make a note that Tom Nook has always been a great guy, he's always been a good dude. Maybe you felt that way because his role in this game has changed a little bit. Tom Nook has always played a key role in maintaining the motivation of the player to continue to play the game. But then as a host character, we've always had somebody else. And because New Horizons is set on a deserted island, and the first person you see is Tom Nook introducing you and welcoming you to the island, and then he continues to support your life on the island – maybe because he's taking care of the player a little bit more than the previous series is why you sense that he's gotten nicer. [New Horizons interview, 2020] "I think he's a really, really good guy. You do owe him money, but it's not like he comes over and asks you to pay him back. And he doesn't add interest in any of the loans that you may have. I think he really does stick around to wait for you and then lets you take the lead for paying him back." [Washington Post, 2020] K: "I love Tom Nook. Even though sometimes he upsets me, I do have to admit that because of him and his hard work, I have a pretty good life in the game." [Nintendo Insider, 3rd of July, 2019] "We think he is very misunderstood. He's just passionate about his business. He's not like a loan shark. He doesn't add a handling fee or anything like that. He can wait as long as it takes for you to pay back. He's not as bad as other people might think he is." [Kotaku, 15th of May, 2013] "Even if we borrow money from him and it takes time to pay him back, he never get's angry, he never gets mad. So if we could all try to be a little more responsible and pay him back, it might make him a little happier." [The Verge, 18th of March, 2020] "Even if the player didn't have any money, he would offer you a new home. And he'd even offer you a loan. And then if you can't pay him back, then he'll wait forever without really bothering you, and he'll never get angry that you've never paid him back, either. That said, he's always been a pretty good guy. But then in the past games, players may have only interacted with him when they were making big purchases, like buying a home, and then once that's paid off, Tom would just go ahead and expand the home without even checking in with the player, so maybe the impression that the players got back then was that he was money-hungry and he was always out to get your money. But he is a really caring guy, a bit of a busybody. And so he might give a wrong impression. But I do want to mention that he's had a self-reflection since the past series. Now, he actually asks the player whether the player wants an expansion to their home or not. I want to encourage the fans to pick up on a good side of Tom Nook when they play the game." [New Horizons interview, 2020] Despite that, Tom Nook is commonly viewed (or jokingly portrayed) as an evil loanshark and has even been nominated for the category "Best villain" during the Nintendo Power Awards 2003. | Orville: Oh, it's you! Good timing! I just got a Nook Miles Ticket from Tom Nook with "[name]" written on it, which makes it yours. So if you want to use this ticket, you just gotta say the magic words "I wanna fly!" Got it? Roger! In that case, I'll just take this ticket I got from Tom Nook. Blathers: I plan to exhibit these creatures, as well as those you gave to Tom Nook, in the museum upon its completion. Ah, did you think about a house maybe? You would have more space and you could decorate your walls and floor and... Oh, forgive me! I do not wish to impose on you, no, no... Thank you for your business! I'll get construction started right away. By the way, you get to choose from eight different colors for the roof! Could you please select a roof color from this list, hm? [Red, Pink, Yellow, Black] Alright, there are four more colors! Just select one of them or a color from the ones I showed you previously, yes? [Blue, Light Blue, Green, Purple] Interested in one of the other colors? Take your time, it's a big decision to make! OK! Your roof will be [color]! I'll get that order in for you. Yes, yes! Oh! One more thing... Homeowners get an automatic Nook Mileage Program upgrade. Just give me one moment, hm... Yes, yes, there we go! I've updated your program membership details, [name]. Now when you use the Nook Miles app, you'll have access to all the Nook Miles+ benefits. Nook Miles+ includes a nifty way to earn additional miles for fulfilling certain daily challenges. You'll see the details once you launch the app, so please give it a look when you can, hm? That's all from me for now! Your wonderful home should be ready tomorrow. Quite exciting, yes? Hm... As long as you've got a loan, I unfortunately cannot accept any new expansion requests. Please do keep in mind that you can use the Nook Stop at any time to make payments. Once your loan is paid in full, please come talk to me again, hm? Well, your lovely future home is already under construction, so... Perhaps it's time to start thinking about furnishing then, hm? May I humbly suggest checking out Nook Shopping at the Nook Stop? Yes, construction should be completed by tomorrow. I'm so happy for you, [name]! Ta-da! Today, [island name] has its very own museum! Oh yes! It's a grand museum indeed, with separate exhibit rooms for insects, fish, or fossils. Blathers, the museum curator, says he's always available to accept donations or assess fossils. And museum admission is free, so stop by whenever you like! By the way, whenever we cover big island developments like this... we'll hold a special commemorative ceremony afterward! We'd like as many folks as possible to take part, so do visit the Resident Services if you're interested, hm? Oh, you want to take part in the ceremony, [name]? Right now, we'd like to celebrate the grand opening of our museum. Would you be interested? > I sure am! Splendid! Then let's get started! Now then... Welcome to our dedication ceremony honoring [island name]'s brand-new museum! Thank you! Thanks much! [island name] truly started out as nothing but a desolate, deserted island. There simply wasn't much here. But now... It's slowly beginning to develop, thanks to the tireless efforts of... well, everyone, really. And now I think we need to hear a... FEW words from Blathers, who'll be running our new museum! Blathers, the floor is yours. ... Thank you... for that rousing speech, Blathers! Now, let's have a few words from someone whose contributions enabled us to build the museum in the first place. Of course, I'm talking about none other than our Resident Representative, [name], her/himself! Anything you want to add, [name]? > Good for us! > We're amazing! > Wooooo! Yes, yes! Indeed! Thank you for your heartfelt and encouraging sentiments there, [name]! Everyone... Please get ready to join me in bringing this ceremony to a close. Also, those wishing to take a commemorative photo should get ready to press [screenshot button]! Yes... Well then... With hope for our continued growth and to celebrate [island name]'s beautiful museum... HURRAY! Thank you all! This concludes our ceremony! Please do take care on your way home! Villagers: > [Yo, wallflower!] I've heard the raccoons have roped you in for helping them with their shop opening. > Hey, [name]! Congratulations on your new house! Tom Nook really outdid himself for you! > Ah, so I call this Tom Nook, and he will explain everything to me? Thanks! Then I'll do that! Good, good! You can always come to me! I truly must thank you for collecting all of the materials for the shop! Perhaps you can give me more advice for the island life than I can give you, oho ho! As always, I must offer my hearty congratulations. You've paid off your loan in full! I expected nothing less, of course, but occasions like these are cause for celebration, hm? I suppose they're also a good time to take stock and reflect. Yes, yes! I'm sure your home is quite comfy in its current configuration. But what if it could be bigger? Oho! I assure you that it can, indeed, be bigger. A bigger home means more space for furniture - and more storage too! But now that I've introduced some possibilities, I will leave it at that. Do please come see me if you'd like to hear more, hm? Hm... I would recommend that you make your room larger. That would require taking out a loan for 198,000 Bells. Does that pique your interest? > Not now... Yes, yes! This purchase should be well thought-out. Just come see me once you've made up your mind, hm? > Let's do it! Wonderful! I'm so happy for you! I'm going to make sure construction begins right away. Oh! It occurs to me... this might be a good time to consider a new color for your roof. Don't you agree? There are eight color options. Could you please select a roof color from this list, hm? OK! Your roof will be [color]! Construction on your home should be finished by tomorrow. I'll bet you're even more excited than I am! Construction is going well, yes, yes! Your joy is contagious! My staff, Timmy and Tommy, opened up their new shop today! It's a small shop, but they'll change stock daily and carry a selection of goods that's sure to improve your island life! Come by from 8 AM to 10 PM daily. And if the store is closed, simply use their drop-off box to sell your items! Ah! One more thing... To celebrate the opening of the shop, we've added a new catalog service to Nook Shopping. The catalog lets customers see a record of all items they've obtained or purchased. Any mass-marketed items can be ordered directly through the catalog, so make good use of it! Now then, with all that said... I hope everyone takes advantage of the new Nook's Cranny! By the way - as usual, there will be a special commemorative ceremony for this! We'd like as many folks as possible to take part, so do visit the Resident Services if you're interested, hm? phone call: Oh dear. Never fails. Of course this would happen right in the middle of a broadcast... A... haaaa... One moment, please, hm? 'Hello? This is Tom Nook from Nook Inc., yes! What? The getaway package? Why, yes! Yes, yes! Of course!' And that's all for today's island-wide broadcast. 'Ah, so sorry to put you on hold. Allow me to give you a full overview of the... Oh, greetings, [name]! Your home is much roomier now, isn't it? More space is never a bad thing. Which brings us to... the cost of your remodel! That'll be 198,000 Bells, hm? Ah, yes! Please make your payments using the Nook Stop's ABD feature as you've done before. As always, it's been ever so nice doing business with you. Yes, yes! Timmy und Tommy: Our shop is named in honor of a shop our beloved President Nook used to run. Welcome to Nook's Cranny! Ah, [name]. Good to see you! Hold the phone - someone's calling! Hello, you've reached Nook Inc. Oh! You saw our ad... I see... Hm... Yes, of course! Don't worry about a thing! We can set up your getaway package to include a lovely furnished home. Mmm-hmm... Oh, not at all! We'll set up your move-in date at a later time... No, no. No trouble at all. I just need to draw up the proper contracts... that may take a little while... Would that be... ...Yes? Understood! That's very kind of you, thanks much! We will get back to you very soon! Thank you! [name]! So sorry to keep you waiting. I... suppose you overheard that call I just got, hm? For some time now I've been advertising the [island name] getaway package... And wouldn't you know, out of the blue we have 3 interested parties! > That's great! Yes, yes, it's quite wonderful! Thank you, thank you! Although... there is one minor little detail that robs me of my well-earned sleep... None of our applicants are too fond of the notion of sleeping in tents, you see. I'm afraid I got caught up in the excitement of persuading them to move here, and due to my heartfelt concern, I may have... promised them fully furnished homes! Three homes, setting aside the land, preparing all the furnishings... it's just too much for one raccoon. But see, [name]... You visiting me today, cannot be a coincidence! Here you are, in my hour of need... It most certainly must be fate! I almost do not dare to ask, but... Would you? Perhaps? Help me get these homes prepared? All three of them? Of course, I will return the favor! And help you! Say, will you help me build those three, little homes, hm? > Of course! Thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'll NEVER forget this! Oh! Before we start, you're going to need some top-secret instructions! When you're ready, come talk to me. Use the phrase "What should I do?" Agent Nook out... Oh, this is fun! I feel like we're in one of these agent movies! Ah! You want to take part in the ceremony, [name]? Right now, we'd like to celebrate the completion of Nook's Cranny. Would you be interested? > I sure am! Splendid! Then let's get started! Now then... Welcome to our dedication ceremony honoring [island name]'s brand-new Nook's Cranny! Thank you! Thanks much! [Island name] truly started out as nothing but a desolate, deserted island. There simply wasn't much here. But now... It's slowly beginning to develop, thanks to the tireless efforts of... well, everyone, really. I'd like to ask Timmy and Tommy to say a few words as representatives of the new Nook's Cranny. Timmy? Tommy? If you would, please. Timmy: Thank you, [island name]! Because of you, we've opened a proper shop! Tommy: My brother and I will work hard to make it the best shop. And I hope we can count on your business! Yes, yes, thank you both! Now then... a few words from someone who made many valuable contributions toward seeing Nook's Cranny built. Of course I mean [name], our Resident Representative! Anything to add? Oho! So you're already ready to help me prepare! Here's what I'm thinking... We really should start by building a bridge across the river somewhere. With three homes to build, I worry that we'll run out of space on land that is easily accessible otherwise. A bridge will open things up a bit and make it easier to get to housing plots during construction, hm? And it also offers some all-new design options! So... seeing how much of a craftsman/woman you are, that's why I'd like you to start by crafting the parts for a bridge base. In return, you can decide on a prime location for our marvellous new transport solution! And done! I've just sent you a recipe for a bridge construction kit. You can find it on your NookPhone. Once you've assembled your bridge construction kit, find a neat little place for our bridge and then check in with me, yes? If you find yourself in any trouble or if you need some further advice, simply come here and I'll guide you! Good luck, [name]! I'm eternally grateful for your help with the bridge and I trust that I speak for the entire island when I say: Thank you! To start, you should first use the DIY recipe I gave you to craft a bridge construction kit. Once this is ready, just carry it to whatever spot you'd like the bridge to be in, and - plop! - the space is marked! I know that makes it sound very simple, but in practice it can be a bit tricky... So just tell me, if you run into any issues, hm? Good luck, [name]! Go seek the perfect spot for the bridge and once you're there, just use your practical bridge construction kit, hm? Ah, but speaking of which - May I offer you some tips for building bridges? Yes please! My pleasure! Let's start with the fundamentals of building bridges! First off, your bridge construction kit will require just as much space as your tent. But, of course, it will also need to be placed close to the river it's supposed to...well uhm... bridge! The river mustn't be too narrow or too wide in that spot and also not too curved, hm? But now, now - don't you worry! With a bit of practice you will soon be a bridge-building master! Just look for a nice spot that will make everyone's daily routes easier. You can do it, I know it! Learning by doing, yes, yes! Ah, [name]! Hello, hello! Sooooo... If I may ask, did you find a good place to deploy your bridge construction kit? > It's ready to go! [> I set it up!] Splendid! Delightful! Thanks much, yes, yes! Then tomorrow we'll have a new bridge up and it'll be even easier to get around the island. Now then since that's out of the way... we can shift our focus to the next project... Meaning: Building new homes! Just ask me "What should I do?", hm? Now, or we can wait for bridge construction to finish if you want and proceed afterward. [name], if this is about the bridge construction, I'm afraid it won't be ready until tomorrow... Oh! Or did you want to start on the homes now? Please take these 3 housing kits off my paws, hm? With the housing kits I just gave you, you'll pick out plots for 3 homes. Then, of course, these homes need to be made... homely. We do need furniture and such. Each housing kit comes with a list of the furniture required for its house, so don't lose it, yes? You can build everything DIY style, so let me just send you the recipes you'll need! And that's all from me! Thanks again for all of your help! Did you already mark 3 plots using the housing kits? As soon as you've placed one of them, make sure to check the list for the items it requires, hm? The box next to the marked house location will tell you, which furniture pieces are needed for the respective house. There are no news for today, so allow me to give you a helpful little tip about the life on [island name] instead, hm? I will now tell you something about the rewards you can earn via the Nook Miles program. So let me proudly present a very handy feature to you: "Tool Ring: It's Essential!". How are you holding up on this island? Do you have to carry lots and lots of clunky tools around with you? I can imagine that it must be getting pretty tiresome to always go back and forth between all of them... The Tool Ring allows you to register 8 tools that you can easily switch between! I can only recommend it to you, if you wish to always have the right tool at hand in just a heartbeat! And that was that! Take care, hm? ...My NookPhone is ringing. Hello? That you, [name]? Yes, yes, this is Tom Nook! How goes your search for housing land? > It's going great. Stupendous! I'm relieved to hear that everything is going according to plan! Be sure to check the box in front of the plot for each home, hm? It'll show the items required for that plot. Interior items should be placed in the box, while exterior items should be placed outside around the plot. After all, we want to make it look nice and decorative! Once you've set up the plots for all 3 homes and placed the required items, come report back to me! I'll be waiting in Resident Services. Thanks again for your enthusiasm, yes, yes! Er, [name]? It's me again. So sorry for the repeated calls, but there is something important that I've forgotten to tell you! You see, you'll need to get a wreath made from flowers... There are plenty of pretty flowers growing up on the cliffs of the island, so tootle up there if you need to! Oh, and small insider tip? I've sent you a recipe for a ladder. It's the ideal tool for when you need to scale those cliffs! Not like you can just go ahead and walk up there, no, no! Anyhoo, keep up the good work, hm? So, how goes it? Progressing nicely with the plots and the homes and the furnishings and whatnot? > It's all going smoothly! Oho, wonderful! That's music to my ears! As you finish your part, I'll get started on home construction and welcoming our new residents, of course! I stake my name and reputation to get this done quickly and to get it done right! Why, if all goes well, we could have someone in a new home as soon as TOMORROW, yes, yes! By the way, I plan on letting the island know about folks moving in or out during my island broadcasts. Oh, and once I know who will move into a certain home, I'll post the info on the sign for that plot. So too long, didn't read: You might wish to read my signs at least, hm? Anyhoo, keep up the good work and stay as diligent as you are! Welcome to our dedication ceremony honoring [island name]'s brand-new bridge! ~ " ~ I feel like this bridge is a turning point for the development of our once-deserted island. I do hope we can continue making great strides to improve the quality of life in this precious community! Now then, I'm sure you all can guess what I'm going to tell you next... It's todays's big announcement! As stated in a previous broadcast, today we've completed construction of the Resident Services building! And that's not all the big news for today. We've also added someone to our island staff! Ah, don't be shy, hm? Isabelle: Hello! I'm Isabelle! As Mr. Nook said, I'm part of the Resident Services staff here on [island name]! While I still have much to learn, I will do my best to support everyone who calls this island home. Isabelle has previously done resident support work, so I'm sure she'll be a big help to everyone here, hm? And I've got more to share! The building itself isn't the only new thing around here. We've given the plaza some much-needed improvements as well! Normally the plaza is for residents and visiting peddlers who take advantage of its prime location... But keep an eye out for the occasional seasonal events too! Should be such fun for everyone, yes, yes! Well... I believe that wraps up all my announcements for today. Except for one final thing. This was my very last broadcast! Starting tomorrow... Isabelle will be your new source for island news! Isabelle: I'll do my best to share all the latest updates with you, so I hope you'll tune in often! Yes, yes! There you have it... New building, new island staff. We are growing, growing, growing! Finding out what's new at Resident Services is as easy as stopping by and inquiring, hm? And, of course, we plan on holding a ceremony to commemorate the new Resident Services building. We'd love for everyone to take part! I do believe this sums it all up... Isabelle and I will be there to help you whenever you need us! Right now, we're looking at holding a ceremony for this Resident Services building - now made of rocks and mortar! Would you be interested? Thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, [island name] is developing wonderfully! Yes, yes! I must confess, there was a time when I thought that our little Resident Services "building" would remain a tent forever. But look at us now! Here we are with a beautiful new facility the whole island can enjoy! Once again, I wish to thank everyone who supported our efforts. And I would be at fault if I failed to acknowledge the strong ally who'll help me run things from now on! Isabelle, if you could grace our island friends with a few words, hm? Isabelle: I'm so glad for this opportunity to say thanks to [island name]! Like Mr. Nook said: My name is Isabelle! I haven't been on the island long, so I have a ways to go until I'm fully up to speed, but... You can bet your bottom Bell that I'll help in any way I can! If you need anything, come see me! Thank you! Thank you, Isabelle! Now, let's have a few words from someone who made our new Resident Services building possible in the first place. That's right! Let's hear from our Resident Rep, [name]! Anything you want to add? Welcome to the new and improved Resident Services tent! Oho! But of course it's not a "tent" anymore, hm? Thanks to your help, we've got a wonderful new building! Now, as I've mentioned in my broadcast... We need new support staff for a new building, so Isabelle is here to take good care of us. Isabelle: You're [name], right? Mr. Nook has told me all about you! I just started today, so I'm sure I'll have my paws full learning all the ins and outs of the new job. But I'm already smitten with island life, so you can count on me to give my absolute best! Well said! Isabelle and I will split up duties here to better support you all! Broadly speaking, I'll take care of anything related to homes or other construction issues, while Isabelle will help you with general island matters and resident support. Just come sit at the appropriate counter when you need help, and we'll rush over in two swishes of a raccoon's tail! In fact, have a seat now so we can introduce you to some brand-new services! And with that out of the way, there is something I'd like your help with if it's not too much of a bother... When you have a moment, please sit at my counter. Our Resident Services te-...building is always open so we'll be there for you and all of [island name] whenever you like! Today we are happy to see a new face on [island name]: [villager name]! Yes, yes! If you happen to meet him/her, please give him/her a warm welcome! I hope you give him/her lots of great advice about living here! Now then... I have one more bit of important news to wrap things up. It's so wonderful to see all the enthusiasm for island life. Our population is certainly growing, hm? [island name] is becoming a rather bustling place! Yes, yes! Our goal, as always, is to provide you with the top-quality support you deserve. And so, please note... Resident Services will soon relocate fom its current tent into a new, more permanent building! It's a big move and construction will take some time, so we will be closed tomorrow. Please check on lost items at the recycle box, or use the Nook Stop today while it's available, yes, yes? Good! Alright, it's time for our final announcement of the day... For all of you DIY-loving residents out there, I have a very exquisite treat! DIY veterans can now take part in a special customization workshop I'm hosting! Learning how to customize will help you change up the look of any DIY projects you create, hm? I have no doubt it will broaden your creative expertise! I'll conduct the DIY workshop inside Resident Services. Curious crafters should stop by! That's all from me. Time for you all to get out and enjoy your day. Yes, yes! Mabel: No worries if you forgot, but my name's Mabel! I'm an old friend of Timmy, Tommy, and, of course, Tom Nook! We go waaaaaaaaaay back. Anyway, that's how I heard about [island name], and I came out here to sell clothes and stuff. My dream is to open my own shop right here on the island, but I gotta build up a customer base first. I'll try to stop by a couple of times a week, so if you see me around, don't be a stranger, alright? As you might have heard on today's broadcast, I'm now offering a new workshop on customization. I think you'll find DIY even more fun when you master this skill. I do hope you take me up on this opportunity, hm? I'm looking for residents who are willing to learn about customization. Being able to re-design your crafted creations, will really make your items shine! Just try and see for yourself, hm? Ready to dip your toes into the delightful waters of customization, [name]? > Customization? Customization allows you to change some major details of many different items! Think: Color, fabric, design and whatnot! After all, handmade items are becoming even more charming, once you give them your personal touch! Hm, yes, I think that sums it up nicely. Now then! Are you ready to try it out yourself? > I'd love to! Yes, yes! That's the spirit! Then let's begin! I believe a brief explanation about customization is in order. Honestly, it's incredibly simple. First, you'll, of course, need the item you want to customize, along with the required number of customization kits... Then you'll customize your item at a workbench. And voilà - the design or color will change in the blink of an eye! I do believe you'll find this easier to understand once you try it yourself, hm? So let's begin! Your goal for this session is to make a wooden wardrobe... and then do some customizing! The wardrobe you'll make, as well as closets, chests, and other items that store clothing, are quite useful, yes, yes! You can use them to easily change into any clothes you have stored in your home's storage! You could use your custom-colored wooden wardrobe to put on your own fashion show... That freedom of expression is just the sort of thing we enjoy here on [island name], hm? Oops! You're going to need the DIY recipe for it, first! Just one second, I'll send it over now... There! All set! So, come see me after you get a wooden wardrobe, hm? You've already signed up for my workshop regarding DIY customization, [name]. Just ask me "About that workshop...", if you wish to know, how to proceed! [name]! You've already signed up for my workshop regarding DIY customization. You will need a wooden wardrobe for us to continue. Just come talk to me, once you've got one, hm? Oh! [name]! You've got your wooden wardrobe! Then I believe it's time for you to customize it. I'll give you the customization kits you'll need in a moment. For now, please step up to the workbench. Hm, looks like you're ready now with your wooden wardrobe. Then I believe it's time for you to customize it. First, [name], let me give you some customization kits! Next, pull out your wooden wardrobe and try customizing it! Yes, yes! Truly excellent! As you've just seen, customizing items is quite easy when you have customization kits and a workbench. You can take the extras from today as my gift to you. Use them in your future customization projects, hm? As a graduate of my workshop, you'll now be able to buy any kits you need from the shop. Now then, for the most part, you can customize furniture or other items you've made as DIY projects... However, some of the mass-market furniture items sold in the shop can also withstand some customization. For instance, you might be able to change an item's fabric or add a custom design to it. Figuring out what you can customize and how you can customize it can be a lot of fun! And this concludes my workshop on the topic of customization! I hope you enjoy putting on a fashion show in your home using your custom wooden wardrobe. Now, take a break, hm? I do believe you've earned it! I wouldn't know what else to tell you, [name]! You've come so far! I'm sure that by now, you know exactly how to make the most out of your every day on [island name], yes, yes! | |||||||||||||||||
4 | „I’ve heard some folks believe I’m a ruthless and heartless businessman. This is not true, and not just because I am a raccoon and not a man, yes, yes. Hm, perhaps I can see the value of having a boogeyman everyone can unite against. Or rather, in my case, a boogeycritter. But paying one’s debt is important! If I must be villainized in my pursuit of teaching, then so be it!” | “I told you about how, in my youth, I made that mistake in the city, yes? Well, I tell you such things so you don’t have to go through the same trials. If you’re going into business, be sure to do a little of everything, hm? [select Why?] Well, I’ll tell you! That way, you’re diversified and risk less, yes? Having a wider focus has a downside, of course… Yes, yes, you’ve got a lot more to keep track of, hm? But imagine the alternative! When you’re banking on one thing and it goes under… You lose everything, hm? A fate worse than death! [select Oh, I get it.] Do you truly, [name]? Well, then, here’s what you must do… Expand your business only as far as you yourself can keep track of, yes? Trust no one! In this area, you can’t hire someone to manage for you. The city is very scary, hm? Say you have someone you trust. Why, they might… They might be waiting for you to turn your back so they can take your assets! So, remember my words, hm? Expand your field only as far as you can manage… Though it sounds easy, it’s not! And it’s the crux of good business!” | “Welcome, valued customer. Please, come in and brighten my humble store, hm?” | Animal Crossing Gamecube: Rover: “…Oh, wait! Boy, am I dense! This buddy of mine runs the shop in (town name)!! Let me give him a jingle! This’ll take me two seconds. Wait right here, OK? Hey there, Nook! …It’s me! So, what’s the good word? You raking in the cash? …Uh-huh…Yeah. Ooh, that’s rough! Brutal! Well, it’s a crazy world! Anyway, as I was saying, I have someone here who wants to move to (town name). Oh, yeah, completely! But the poor thing still hasn’t found a place to live. It’s sort of a tight spot… …The kid’s name? Why?...Oh. It’s (your name). …Umm, yeah. Yeah, today. So, think you can help out? …Oh? Oh, really? …Uh-huh… I see. Oh, OK. Cool! …Yeah, I’ll pass the word on. …So we’ll catch up later. Riiight. Thanks a lot. See ya, Nook, my man! Bye! Well, good news for you! It sounds like my buddy has some brand-new houses for sale, dirt cheap! The work’s all done, but he hasn’t been able to rent them. He wants to unload them, so he’s willing to take a loss.” “Would your name happen to be (your name)? Good, good! I just now had a phone call about you, hm? Whew. I’m glad I made it here in time to meet your train. I’m afraid I’m not in the best shape of my life… But I ramble! My name is Tom Nook. I, uh, run the store here in town. I’m quite pleased to meet you, yes? Something strikes me as odd, though, my young friend. Moving to a town before settling on a place to live… Why, it’s the craziest thing I have ever heard of! Madness! Absolute madness, hm? Whoa ho ho ho ho ho ho!” (laughing) (Don’t laugh.) “Whoa ho! Ho ho! Ah, ahem. Pardon me, I beg you! That just struck my funny bone. Now, don’t you worry! I have a house that you can move into right away! It should more than suit your needs, hm? I can show it to you now, so come along! Let’s scuttle! Here we are! Not too shabby, hm? I can most heartily recommend any of these houses! Take your pick! Feel free to take a look inside. Really. I don’t mind. Not in the least. After all, the doors don’t have any locks. Take a good look inside. And please! Bear in mind that it’s a little…how you say…cozy, hm? Yes, cozy!” “Well? What do you think? How was it, hm?” (It’s OK, I guess) “Oh…Really? Alas. Ah well, take your time. Have a look at the others, why don’t you?” (I like it) “You’re quite sure? This is the one you want? (Here is good!) Very well. It’s decided then! That house now belongs to you, (your name)! What a happy day for you, I’m certain! I’ll tell you what- I’ll even throw in the radio in there at no extra charge! (I never could sell that thing at the shop…) Now let me see…I suppose you’d like a quick rundown of your house, so listen carefully, please. As you can no doubt see…the house doesn’t have any furniture at all. Yes, quite bare, I’m afraid! Anything you need, you’ll have to get on your own. Obviously, you can’t expect me to furnish the place for you. You can do whatever you like with your own stuff…but don’t try to mess around with other folks’ things! Well, not that you can! Whoa ho ho ho ho ho! Nobody will know if you just nudge stuff, though. Ho ho! You’ll probably want to pop into neighbors’ houses to get some ideas for your own interior designs! I would! (explains the gyroid) […] If you quit playing without talking to it first, it’ll be like everything you did that day never even happened!!! I can’t imagine a worse fate! Please take extra care so you never forget. I’d hate to see such a thing happen, hm? And that marks the end of my explanation. I’m hoping that I didn’t forget anything… (asks if he should repeat) Yes, well, I’m sure you’ll settle into the particulars of life in due time. Don’t worry! With fees and closing costs, the house comes to…19.800 Bells!!! (gives him 1.000 bells, everything the player has) Yes, that would be… Not nearly enough!!! You only have 1.000 Bells?!? You’re joking with me, yes? Why, you’re so short, I can’t help but laugh! Whoa ho ho! You know what happens to people who don’t have money, don’t you? I’ll tell you. They can’t buy a house! But…you still need a place to stay, don’t you? Hmm… A thorny situation. Yes. Rather thorny. …Then here’s what we’ll do! You can work part-time at my shop to pay off the rest! Yes, that’s acceptable! Splendid! We’re all set! This will work wonderfully! Now then, you’ll have to come by my shop later to work. You can find my shop in Acre (…). You can’t miss it. At least, MOST people can’t miss it. If you have trouble, check the map by the station, yes? I’m heading back there now, so I’ll be waiting for you. I’d ask you to be quick about coming, yes?” “Well, finally you arrive! What took you so long?!? I was starting to wonder if you’d show! Only kidding. Very good, yes! First off, you’ll need to change into these clothes! If you must know, I suppose I’d call it your uniform. Please let me know when you’re done changing, yes?” “That’s better! Yes. You look like you were born to wear that uniform! Now you can start working off the remaining 18.800 Bells you owe on your house. Hurrah! First off, I want you to go and plant some trees and flowers around my shop. The area around here is too dull – not charming at all. It’s just not an ideal sort of shopping experience, hm? People like shopping in areas that are clean and well kept. So I want you to spruce things up a bit for me. When you’re finished, come and tell me, yes?” “AGH!!! Why did you change out of your uniform, hm? Just who gave you permission to do that, I’m wondering? I swear, what is it with kids these days, hm? Always needing a casual workplace! Why, when I was young, we… …I suppose I must change with the times, yes? Go on with your hip hipness! Wear whatever you like! But! You can’t wear anything that might make my customers feel uncomfortable, yes? On this point, I won’t budge! That’s just the way society works, you understand? Sometimes you have to obey the rules, yes?” “So, did you make it look a little nicer out there? Gave the grounds some charming character, hm? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I won’t bother asking how you chose where to plant everything. After all, I’m not the one who’ll get laughed at when travelers from other villages see your work. My, no! Now, let’s just see here… That little chore was worth, oh… Let’s call it about 80 Bells, yes? Quite generous, I know… Oh, and about your wages… I’ll just keep them as payment toward your mortgage, hm? Now, what should I have you do next… Wait just a moment… Something just struck me… (your name), you just moved to (town name)!… …but you haven’t introduced yourself to all the townsfolk, have you? I’m going to give you a little break, so why don’t you go introduce yourself to everyone in town, hm? Go on, now! And don’t forget to introduce yourself to the mayor, too. That would show some class. You can probably find him wandering around near the wishing well… I’ll see you later, yes?” “So, did you meet everybody in town? Quite a motley crew, yes? But variety is the spice of life, you know. If you don’t get along well with the folks here in (town name), you’ll never fit in, you understand? But never fear! I have a good feeling about you, hm? Now then… What shall I have you do next… Ah, yes…I need you to deliver some furniture, hm? At last! It’s like you’re actually working in the shop! Take this furniture to (villager) in Acre (…), yes? And don’t stop to sniff the roses on the way! Go straight there, and then come straight back, hm?” “So you’re back again today? Very good, yes. Very reliable. Well, let’s get to work!” “Welcome back, worker bee! It looks like you delivered the furniture. Nice work! You did a good job, so I figure that earns you…oh, say, 230 Bells. Not bad wages, hm? Now, on to your next task! Hm? What’s that? You say it’s too difficult to try to find things without a map? Honestly! Kinds these days and their constant complaints! Why, when I was just a little raccoon, I… Oh, never mind. OK, OK…Here’s a map. It should serve your needs just fine, hm? Your next job is to write some copy for a direct mailing! You know, sort of a personal advertisement. I want you to send it to (villager), who lives in an Acre somewhere in Row (…). It’s just good business. (Villager) is a very loyal customer, so this is a notice of a special sale! As for what you write… Well, I’ll just leave it up to you, (your name). But try to make it exciting! Oh! And you might want to think about introducing yourself as (your name), who works for me, yes? You can use this stationery to write the letter. Go to the post office to mail the letter, yes? Now, hurry back, hm?” “Did you send the letter, hm? Good job! It took you longer than I’d have liked, so I’ll have to dock you a bit. How does 130 Bells sound? But I’m glad you got it done. After all, if you can’t even write a letter, you’re going to have problems in this town. Oh, yes, well… I, uh…haven’t actually prepared the next package I need you to deliver, hm? I’m a bit behind… It would be a waste for you to just hang around here and wait for me, so why don’t you go help out the villagers? You may find you can do a little better working for them that you can for me! But not much better, yes? Just be sure to come back here after a bit, hm?” “Were you able to help anybody out? Many animals need things, hm? Did you get anything good in return? The critters in town are all fairly generous, so your work never goes unrewarded. That’s quite nice, yes? Next, I need you to deliver a nice carpet for me, yes? And don’t dillydally along the way, hm? Take this carpet to (villager), yes? Just because I’m not watching you doesn’t mean you can stop and chitchat with folks you meet along the way! Then again, there’s no way I can keep tabs on you… Just try not to gab too much! Tell me when you’re done.” “Welcome back, dear employee! Very good, yes! It looks like you’re finally getting the hang of things around here! The way you work, I’d be happy to have you working here full-time! Wouldn’t that be a treat, hm? In any case, I can see you’re putting a lot of effort into your work, so this time I’ll give you 580 Bells. Next, I need you to deliver an axe to (villager). Be extra careful with it, hm? I see that light in your eyes! Now, the stuff you deliver is wrapped, so you couldn’t use it, even if you wanted to! So don’t get any ideas, hm? If you want to cut down any trees, you’ll have to get your own axe, yes? Very good, then! Give it your best shot! And tell me when you’re done, yes?” “Welcome back! Nice work! Yes, very good, yes! Now let’s see… That chore earned you a solid 230 Bells! Hmm…What to do, hm? Your next job will be… Ah, yes! Now I remember! You’ve seen the bulletin board in front of your house, haven’t you? Well, I want you to write an ad for my shop on that bulletin board. You get foot traffic around there, yes? You can write whatever catchy slogan you like. Just make sure it sounds exciting, hm? And don’t write anything that might embarrass me! Once you write something on it, you can never erase it! Well, off you go, hm? And let me know when you’re all done, yes?” “Welcome back! Did you put a buzz-generating ad up there? Something animals will talk about over the watercooler? Very good, yes. I suppose… Hmm… That means… Yes! You’re all done! All the work I hadn’t gotten around to is now all done!!! How wonderful for me, hm? Since I don’t have any more work for you to do, I’m afraid I have no choice but to let you go. Hm? The rest of your mortgage? Oh, of course, you still have to pay ALL of it off! That’s how life works! Let me just have a look at my records here, hm? Yes… So far, you’ve worked off a total of…1,400 Bells… So you have 17.400 Bells left to pay! Not exactly a sum to sneeze at, hm? Since there’s no more work for you here, you’ll have to figure out how to pay it off on your own! Now how could a youngster go about making some Bells? I suppose running errands for the villagers… …and selling things you no longer need, too, hm? That should generate some cash flow, I should think. If you’ve got stuff to sell, just come talk to me, yes? I’ll give you a very fair price for anything you’ve got. Oh, and when you want to make a mortgage payment, do it at the post office for me. Tax purposes, you know, hm? If you can pay off about 1.000 Bells a week, that’ll work for me. Otherwise, I’ll send for the raccoon goons! Whoa ho ho ho! Just a joke! Once you pay it all off, we can talk about remodeling the place for you. That house you’ve got now is pretty small, after all, and I’m pretty sure you’d like a little more room, yes? Well, thanks for your help. I hope you’ll come see me for all of your future shopping needs, hm?” | Loan paid off (Gamecube): “My good gracious. (Your Name)!!! Truly amazing, that’s no lie! Paying off ALL the the money you owed on your house! Incredible! I salute you! But, as I told you before, I can’t build you a house bigger than the one you’ve got now. Flat out impossible! This is odd for me…but I feel slightly guilty taking all the money you owed me without anything in return… …Ooh! I’ve got it! I have a terrific idea! The perfect thank-you gift! I’ll let everyone in town know just how honest and diligent you are, (your name)! I shall build a monument to you, (your name)! I’ll put it in front of the train station! Yes, yes! That’s what I’ll do! Nook, you may well be the first raccoon humanitarian! Just you wait, (your name)! Wait’ll you see it!” [It’s a golden statue portraying the player] “This statue was erected in honor of (your name)’s full loan repayment! (and silver for the next character, then bronze, then jade) | “Recently I was busy with the restocking of the shelves and such when it struck me…” | “No matter how big his store gets, Tom Nook still makes a point of maintaining a “paws-on” sales approach. It doesn’t matter where you go in the store – he’ll always be one step behind you!” | Villager: Hey, I've heard that Tom Nook and you are working hard on making [island name] attractive to new residents! Great, great! The more potential jogging partners we have, the merrier! ~ How have things been going since we last spoke? Are you close to finishing the plots and furniture? > Everything's finished! Goodness! Truly?! Well, well, then I must thank you for your dedication with all my heart! That means the rest is up to me! I'll get started on home construction right away so we can welcome our new island residents. And... that's that, my friend! I have asked so much of you, and you finished everything! Ah, but of course, let me give you a token of my appreciation as I had promised. Oho, yes! This is for you! It's some fencing! You could surround your home to create a yard or surround some flowers to make a garden... Fencing should make it easier for you to create yards or parks or other outdoor areas. I can already envision, how beautiful [island name] will look thanks to your design ideas. Yes, yes! I'm thinking 50 pieces of simple wood fencing should give you an excellent start. In the future, I will offer DIY fencing recipes you can get by redeeming Nook Miles! The selection will change daily and we'll offer a variety of designs! Check the Nook Stop sometime, hm? Well, I could have NEVER done this without you, [name]! That's for certain. The houses have been built, the furnishing is in place... To be honest, for the moment, I think that's it! The rest is in my paws! I stake my name and reputation to get this done quickly and to get it done right! By the way, I plan on letting the island know about folks moving in or out during my island broadcasts. Once I know who will move into a certain home, I'll post the info on the sign for that plot. So if you ever feel like you could use some exclusive info: My signs are more than decoration, yes, yes! Nook Mileage Program letter: Dear Ms/Mr [name]! Many thanks for using the Nook Stop, as well as our Nook Mileage Program. Please find your ordered item attached to this letter. We do appreciate your business! Nook Inc. Mileage Program As I mentioned yesterday, Resident Services is closed today due to construction. I realize this may be a bit of an inconvenience, but I promise the island will be better for it! Just a bit of patience, hm? As you can imagine, I'll have my paws full today with the Resident Services construction. I'll be getting back to that right away. Have a good day, everyone! Right, right! Yes, yes! This is the construction consultation counter! Before we begin, please allow me to briefly explain what precisely it is that you can do at my counter! In addition to my usual duties, we can also talk about issues related to island construction. Everything that makes our island even more charming, relaxing and practical, yes? I can help with building bridges or inclines such as ramps and stairs. Or even moving existing buildings! As these are optional extras to enhance your island experience, these services will of course incur some additional fees... So with that in mind - what do you think? How can I be of assistance to you? > I need your help! Oho! Time to jump into action! The work begins! By the way, one of my favorite questions is "What should I do?", hm? If you really want to dive in and get some work done, that's a good one. I enjoy giving my friends direction! Now then... This is the construction consultation counter! How may I help you, hm? Let's chat! There are a number of things we can discuss, but... what did you have in mind? I see! But please do come talk to me and tell me about your remodeling wishes, hm? Oho! And what exactly did you have in mind, hm? Not convinced? No worries! I'm always here if you change your mind! Now then, is there anything else I can help you with? Thanks much, indeed! Please do come again any time, hm? I won't be going anywhere! Oho! You're already eager to hear how you can help out, hm? Well here's how: We've got a marvelous building for Resident Services now! And you've no doubt admired the plaza, yes? It's primed and ready for major events, if I have anything to say about it... To think that we've started with a deserted island and have grown into a bustling community... It's truly unbelievable... So I want to do something grand to celebrate! Oh yes... I have big plans... > Good luck with that. What?! Don't be so quick to dismiss my plans! At the very least, you should hear me out! > Tell me more! Ohoho! Got you attention, hm? Then prick up your ears, this is as easy as it is daring... It's all about the incredibly popular musician K.K. Slider! We will drag...I mean... invite him to [island name] and then he will put on a show here and... Er, [name] I'm sure you know who K.K. is, yes? > I'm his biggest fan! I always knew you had excellent taste, [name]! By the way, his song "K.K. Lament" is my go-to karaoke song! Ah, please excuse my excitement. As you might have guessed, I'm a big fan. It's easy to get sidetracked talking about him... But anyhoo, if we hold a K.K. concert here, it would be spectacular publicity for [island name]! Not to say that it's not already a jewel of life quality, but... a K.K. show would be the icing on the cake of cultural relevance! That's why I wanted to ask you, [name], if you could maybe lend me a hand with this...? When you're ready for more details, come ask me "What should I do?" again, hm? Then I'll tell you everything! Ah! I take it this means you are ready to hear the details? ...Of my grand scheme? ...To lure K.K. here to hold a concert? I call it Project K, yes, yes! My brilliant plan is divided into three main steps. Step 1! More visitors! The more popular our island is, the more efficient our strategy! Step 2! More residents! Almost the same, but we also need some folks to stay with us! These two steps should turn [island name] into a cultural hotspot. Which then leads us to our third step! K.K. hears about [island name], is amazed, and wants to host a concert here! Now then, since we will first need more tourists, we should add a campsite to our island! A campsite will make it easier for visitors to experience life here. And it'll surely go viral and enhance the image of the brand [island name]! Would you be so kind as to get your NookPhone out of your pockets, [name]? ...And done! I've sent you the recipe for a wonderful campsite construction kit! Please craft that an pick a great spot for our new campsite, hm? I'm counting on you! We're building a campsite in order to invite new guests to spend their vacation [island name] - style! For this, you will need to first craft a campsite construction kit, which you can then place in a quaint area, hm? Congratulations! You are the proud owner of a loan-free, luxurious home! Hard to imagine, how great you must be feeling right now! After all, what could be better? Well... You COULD add another room. That would indeed technically be better... Ah, don't listen to me, no, no! I simply can't help myself. But DO come see me if I've piqued your interest, hm? Ah, you wish to talk about your home, hm? What's on your mind? > I want to relocate. Ah, you want to move your home? Once you pick out a new place, I'll have it moved by the following morning. The cost for all that is 30,000 Bells. Are you ready to start, hm? Yes, yes! Excellent! Now the next step is for you to head out and find your new plot. You see, you'll need to rope off some land at the location you'd like to move to. You'll find the moving kit you need in your pockets. Please set it up in the place where you wish to live, yes? Yes, yes! I've already accepted your request to move your home. Is there something on your mind? Oh? Couldn't you find a good location? Then we'll cancel the plan, and I'll return your money! Oh! But... There' something I should tell you first. Along with layout assistance, I'm also ready to help when residents want to move their homes! That's something we can do even if you're still repaying your loan. If you're interested, tell me! Yes, yes! Alright, I've kept you waiting long enough... How can I help you? Oho! Curious about bridges and inclines, eh? Excellent! Because, you know... with the renovation of Resident Services, we have something grand for our getaway-package participants. Our dear customers can now easily add major projects such and bridges and inclines to the island! Yes, indeed! Major projects don't come cheaply, though, no, no! However, this is where being a community really comes into play! Everyone who lives on the island can freely contribute toward the construction fees. So we can discuss your island hopes and dreams even if you're not swimming in Bells yet, hm? But be advised, you can only have either a bridge or an incline under construction at any given time. So consider your plans carefully before discussing them with me, yes? Oh, really? Well, if you change your mind later, you know where to find me, hm? Alright. Is there anything else I can do for you? Oho? Yes, yes! Let's talk about the layout of our island. Always a pleasure! As Resident Representative, planning the locations of different structures falls to you, hm? As such, I'll bet... you've probably thought, "Oh! That building would be better elsewhere!"... Then never fear, Nook is here! So I'm here for you! We can talk about layout changes that take full advantage of our island's terrain. But, of course, moving buildings cannot be done with just one paw, so there are some construction costs for you to cover. However, I'm sure that you won't let a few Bells stop you from shaping our island into its most ideal form, hm? Now, if you are interested in moving your home, say "About my home..." and we can discuss that. Now then, if there's a building you have in mind, we can discuss moving it now. How about it, hm? > I wish to expand. Well, hm... For your home, I think adding a new room would be nice. If we'll add it on to the back, it won't change the look of the home, but you'll get so much more space. It'll also keep the construction costs down, relatively speaking. This will require taking out a loan for 348,000 Bells. What do you think? Shall we proceed? > Yes, let's do it! Excellent! I'll get the construction started right away. Everything should be ready for you by tomorrow morning. So exciting! Exciting indeed! Now then, tell me... What did you want to talk about with me? > Nevermind, thank you! Ah, no worries at all! Just come see me, if you need further info on bridges and inclines. Bridges and inclines, hm? Very well! And what exactly can I do for you? > Demolish something. Oh! Demolition? But oh well, it's understandable. Space is quite rare on a splendid little island such as ours! Demolishing a bridge or an incline would require you to pay a small fee of 10,000 Bells. On top of that, the demolition process is irreversible! So PLEASE be absolutely sure about it, hm? Good, good. So, do you still wish to demolish something? Knowing that you CANNOT take your decision back later? Oho! You wish to demolish something? Well, well... But I do understand. We have a number of structures on the island, so this was bound to happen. Now then, what are we going to demolish? A bridge or an incline? Ah, a [bridge/incline], yes? Understood! I would need to charge a modest fee of 10,000 Bells for this. Are you sure that you wish to go through with it? > Demolish! Demolish! Oho, message received, loud and clear! Well, I'll start the necessary paperwork, and it should be gone by tomorrow! It comes down to bridges and inclines. So, what are we going to demolish? You want to demolish a [bridge/incline]? There will, of course, be a small demolition fee of 10,000 Bells. Are you sure about this? > Well now, I don't know. Changed your mind, hm? Yes, yes, we did go through all the trouble to build it in the first place after all... But if you decide it really does need to go, I'm here to help you with that. Understood! I'll have the site cleaned up by tomorrow, then. Ah, you want to talk about bridges or inclines, hm? At the moment, I can't discuss any changes. My paws are full since we're getting ready to shut down the site for the [bridge/incline]. Everything should be taken care of by tomorrow, so let's talk after that. Oho, you'd like a new bridge? Ah, yes. Bridges are a good way to connect land separated by rivers and who likes to get wet paws, hm? Go ahead then! Have a look at our catalog and pick one. A [bridge]! So this is the type you want, yes? You're sure about this? My, my! Changed your mind? After all, it is a rather large project, so it's a good idea to think it through. No problem! Splendid! In this case, let's settle on a prime location for it next! It's best if you choose it yourself and I've got a bridge marker kit to help you! I've already snuck it into your pockets. Quite marvelous, hm? Please use it to set aside some land for our bridge project. Place it near a river and you'll be able to imagine what the bridge would look like! Ah, [name], looking for a location to install our new [bridge/incline], yes? How may I help? > Give me pointers! But of course! There are quite a few things to think about when selecting a location for bridge construction! We want to get it right! You still have the bridge marker kit I gave you, hm? That will be the start of everything, yes, yes! Just find a good spot, face the river and deploy! However, there might be some complications... If the river is too wide or too narrow, or if the bank is uneven, it's not going to work. Then you would need to find a different spot. Apart from that... No, I can't think of anything else related to bridge construction! Good luck, hm? I'm most excited to see where our new [bridge] will lead us! ...My NookPhone is ringing. Hello? [name]? Tom Nook here yes, yes! Did you find a good spot for the [incline/bridge]? > I found a great spot! Splendid! Now, as part of the kit you set up, Lloid will stay and collect donations for the construction fees. Island residents can contribute little by little and once we reach our goal, construction will begin right away! And of course, [name], it would be nice of you to set a good example for the others, hm? Or else it will take forever... Er... Anyhoo. Lloid will happily collect every single Bell donation. And we'll talk again soon, hm? Oho, curious about setting up an incline? Ramps and stairs will conquer every steep cliff. Yes, yes! Go right ahead and pick one out of our catalog, please. An [incline]! And you are sure that this is the type you want, hm? > Yes, please! Splendid! In this case, let's settle on a prime location for it next. I've got an incline marker kit for you. I'll place it in your pockets and you can use it to set aside some land for our incline project, yes, yes! And as a small piece of advice: An incline needs quite a bit of space. You won't be able to build one in overly narrow areas. Ah, and most importantly: You can only use the kit if you're standing near the base of the cliff. Not on top of it. Once you're ready, you'll be able to imagine what your new incline will look like. Quite convenient, hm? How is your search for a construction site going? May I offer my assistance? Of course, friend! Would be a shame if the incline didn't work out, so, undoubtedly, I'm inclined to help you! First, you'll need to make use of the incline marker kit I gave to you. It's almost like a tent that you're placing! You look for a beautiful spot close to a cliff and stand at it's base, not on top of the plateau, no, no! Then you can have a look at your surroundings, as you will need quite a bit of space for your project. And then, ultimately, you just place the kit there. With that, everything should be just fine! At least, that's all I can possibly think of. Good luck with the project, Sir/Miss Masterful Builder! Ah well, right now we are collecting funds in order to build our new [incline/bridge]. As such, please understand, that I cannot be flexible with this. Oh, but what's on your mind? > Let's not build it. Come again? You want to halt construction of our new [bridge/incline]? But all the donations! All Bells would go to waste! Are you ABSOLUTELY sure about this? > Actually, let's keep it! Got it! Donations for the project can be made with the gyroid on-site, so please help as you can, hm? ... Now then, let's hear a few words from someone who made this bridge possible in the first place! And of course I mean... our Resident Representative [name]! standard greeting: Ah, [name]! Hello, hello! How goes it? Did you manage to find a nice place for our new campsite, yet? > Of course! Splendid! I'm bursting with joy! Then it's finally time for me to take matters into my own paws and take care of the construction. By tomorrow we will have an exquisite campsite just waiting for new guests to come visit us! Hurray! What a wonderful spot you've chosen for the campsite! What would I do without you? Tomorrow, I will open the campsite to curious visitors. Look forward to it, hm? Now then - how is your search for a new plot going? Oho! Fine news indeed! Yes, yes! We don't want to keep our customer waiting, so I'll proceed with construction at supersonic speed! Happy customers and rapid business expansion - 2 of my favorite things in the world! Hmmmm... This has got me thinking though... How we went about this was a bit... turbulent. We can't predict when someone will want to move here and last minute home construction sounds like novice level planning to my ears... It is much too haphazard a way of doing business... Ah! Yes, yes, of course! I've got an idea! As part of improving infrastructure, we'll set aside plots in advance and put them up for sale! I'll have to charge a small processing fee, but if we get a buyer who moves in, I'll give you miles as a reward! [name], I do hope that you agree with my plan. Just come talk to me, if you wish to help, hm? Oh! So you'll help prep some land for a future home? Excellent! I do have to charge a small fee of 10,000 Bells, but if someone moves in, you'll earn miles for you efforts! Does that sound okay to you? Will you help find and prep a plot of land? Right, right! As you wish. But, of course, we can only invite more residents once we have marked the plots, soooo... Well, if you want to see some new faces, then just come talk to me and we'll take care of it, hm? Very well! Then let me first collect the fee, hm? That'll be 10,000 Bells, please. Thanks much! So now let me just haaaand over the housing kit you'll need to claim a plot for a new house, [name]. Simply look for a cozy spot and use it! Yes, yes! Off you go now! Yes, yes... Oh wait! That's a housing kit you have inside your pockets, is it not? Please excuse the meticulous bookkeeping, but I can only give out 1 kit at once. Just use the one you already have, mark the plot and then I'll be happy to give you a new one! Visiting friends: Welcome to [island name]. I wish you a wonderful stay! Thanks for coming all the way here to visit our island, hm? You're in the [island name] Resident Services facility. Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay, hm? And, of course, we will honor this with a dedication ceremony! If you want to participate, just stop by Resident Services and talk to Tom Nook. Mabel: Oh, hey, [name]! You came at just the right time! There's something I'd like to ask you today... Could I bend your ear for a bit? Oh, thank you! You see, I wanted to ask about a location... for the store that we're thinking of opening. Thanks to you, we've gained a lot of customers on this island who can't wait for me to come here peddlin'. So... I've been talking with my sister about opening a proper store right here on this island! That's why today, I came here to chat with Tom Nook, and he was pretty fond of the idea! He was all like, "We do have some materials left over from building Nook's Cranny, hm?" "All that must be done then is to select an appropriate location for your store, yes? Oho! And who would be better suited to help you find that location than [name], yes, hm, yes?" So I figured I'd just keep doing the traveling-peddler thing until I ran into you again. And that's now! Oh, geez, I've been rambling on and on, haven't I? Sorry - I'm pretty excited about all this! Anyway, my sister and I would feel better opening this shop with the help of someone Tom Nook trusts. So how about it, [name]? Can you be our location scout? Seriously?! Oh, you're a total lifesaver! Alright then, let me give you this tailors construction kit! Just set it up in whatever spot makes sense to you, and that's where we'll have our shop built! Mabel: Hey! So you've found a lovely place for us! Thank you so much, [name]! As soon as my sister and I have settled down, we can count on you as a regular visitor of ours, right? Well, hello there, [name]! Your home now has another room where once there was none, yes? You can use it for whatever you like! We'd like to celebrate the grand opening of our campsite, before all the tourists will arrive! Would you be interested? Welcome to our dedication ceremony honoring [island name]'s brand new campsite! I do believe this campsite will bring more attention to [island name]. If we treat our guests well, they may consider moving here! It's just what any growing island needs. I want everyone here to stop by the campsite and have positive interactions with any guests there! Speaking of positive interactions, let's hear from someone who saw to it that we could build a campsite. Wondering who I could mean? [name], our friendly Resident Representative of course! Anything you wish to add, [name]? How very impressive our campsite is! I'm already getting flooded with inquiries and applications from tourists who are interested in our little island! Surely it won't be long until we start getting our first guests! Just keep an eye on our campsite, hm? We can never know, when the first tent will appear... Oh, even though we weren't able to officially start business at the campsite yet... Hm... The case is clear: We need the visitors to be completely wowed by the wonders of life on our island! I'd appreciate anything you can do to help improve [island name] - you're the true expert! Yes, yes! Do some weeding! Plant some flowers! Place some outdoor decorations to enhance the scenery! Well, everything that makes our island even more beautiful, hm? That's what we're striving for. The campsite is all ready! However, it seems like we still need some more patience until our first visitors will arrive... Isabelle mentioned it in today's broadcast, but... Today we have our first guest over at the campsite! Would you believe it! [name], if you have time, or even if you don't have time, make time, and go check in on our guest, hm? And, if you get an opening, try talking them into moving to [island name]! > I did it! What? Truly?! [name]! I could hug you! And so quickly too! Then this means we have no time to waste... Hmmm, our next course of action will be... building a new home! And fast! Since you've closed the deal with our visitor, you should be the one to pick the location for a new home! That means, if you're up for it... > Leave it to me! Thank you, [name]! Always ready to help, that's how I know you! You'll need a housing kit to set aside a plot for their home, so I'll give one to you now. Here you go, it's my pleasure! It's in your belongings now, so find a good spot for a home and then come back to see me. Well then... Off you go! Ohhh, I see... Well, if you're busy, it doesn't have to be right now. When you have time, let me know. I'll give you the housing kit you'll need to set up a plot for the home. Ah, now to change the subject... I'm sure you'll find a grand place that our new guest will love! Going from camping to being a proud home owner... Ah, I can't even imagine what kind of impact this will have! The prestige of [island name] will be off the charts thanks to all the good publicity! This guy... This Tom Nook will hopefully lend me a hand with all the paperwork, right? [name], I'm still overjoyed that you've helped building our campsite! We're receiving more and more inquiries about it! It's hard to grasp even! But yes, yes! My plan to lure- I mean... attract new visitors with a campsite has proven itself to be a masterpiece! We've laid the groundwork to increase tourism and, I hope, the number of island residents. Now, if that positive, word-of-mouth marketing about [island name] will just spread... I admit it, though. This is the thorniest part of our whole venture... Isabelle: Don't you worry, Mr. Nook! As long as we all work together, I'm sure we'll reach our goal of having K.K. hold a concert here! You feel the same way I do, don't you, [name]? > Dreams do come true! Isabelle, [name]... Thank you. Thank you I mean it! Grrr! I'm more determined than ever to turn this island into an economic phenomenon! We're not done, [name]! And we're all counting on you! When you're ready to talk about the next part of the project, come ask me "What should I do?" Ah, yes, yes! I have something to tell you, [name]. Precisely speaking, it's about our campsite... Waiting for visitors is fine, but maybe you wish to take a more... proactive approach? If so, you can use amiibo to invite guests to the campsite with the new service I've added! You can access the service via the Nook Stop. It works with an Animal Crossing character's amiibo. amiibo: Yes, yes, Tom Nook here. Oho, [name]! Hello! What's the weather like over there? Ha ha. ...You do realize I can see you, hm? It's odd to contact me via NookStop when I'm right here, isn't it? A visit to the campsite? Me? Oho ho ho! But you can just come here to see me any time you want! If you need my advice or help, just stop by my counter to speak to me in person. Better suited for bad weather as well. No matter if there's rain or sun - your business can still be done! Okay? Okay! And now - over and out, hm? ...Oh! I almost forgot, but Mr. Nook wants to speak to you. If you have a moment, please ask him: "What should I do?" Ah yes, [name]! I'm really counting on your help. Just ask me "What should I do?" and I'll share the details with you, hm? Right now, we'd like to celebrate the grand opening of our tailor shop. A monumental moment for the fashion world! Would you be interested? ... Now then, let's have some brief comments from Mabel and Sable, who will be running the tailor shop! Ladies? If you would be so kind. Mabel: Many thanks to all of you! If it wasn't for you, we would have never been able to open such a lovely shop here! I'll work hard with my sister Sable to make a nice place for you all to visit. So be sure to stop by! Sable: ... Yes... Please do stop by... Mabel, Sable, thank you both so much! Next, a few words from someone who made many valuable contributions so that the tailor shop could be built. All eyes are on our Resident Representative, [name] her/himself! Yes, yes! Let me explain the last major task of Project K to you, then! So, as you might know, I’m always keeping an eye to the most recent cultural developments. I’ve done some research and now the case is clear to me: … We need to work on our image! Word-of-mouth marketing is the best thing we can get! Isabelle will have all the details for you, hm? She's the one who evaluated all the marketing data we've received. I'm sure she will have some great ideas to brighten up the image of [island name]! In short, we need to increase our population, improve the island's scenery... and turn [island name] into the most charming island it can be! The possibilities are endless! Infrastructure is essential, but let's plant flowers and use decorations to make this place look snazzy! Presentation matters, hm? Now then, thanks for your help! We're on the last part of Project K, the grand plan to hold a K.K. concert on this island! If we can raise the image of this island and get some excellent word-of-mouth PR… then I’ll make my golden proposal to K.K. about holding a concert here! If you need help on improving the island's image, just chat with Isabelle. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to start getting ready for the concert by familiarizing yourself with some K.K. songs too, hm? Isabelle: Oh! Yes! I know, Mr. Nook has already told you, but I'm leading the official Island Evaluation Committee! Okay, we only have one member which is me... But hey, you don't get to be the boss of something every day! [In addition to those dialogues, Tom Nook also announces birthdays, writes letters in regards to the Milage Program etc.] | ||||||||||||||||||
5 | Pocket Camp: “Ahh, this place is so quaint and peaceful. I could see myself retiring somewhere like this…” „What do you think of the chair I was sitting in just now, hm? It’s quite nice, isn’t it? And the best part? It’s completely portable. A cozy chair that you can pack up and bring anywhere. It’s quite useful for me on the job. Yes, yes. Because I have to visit so many properties each day. Oh, I’m not complaining. Far from it! I love my work, and I put my heart and soul into it every day!” “I’ve had this chair ever since I started my first business. In a way, it’s my most valued employee!” | “I told you about how, in my youth, I made that mistake in the city, yes? Well, I tell you such things so you don’t have to go through the same trials. If you’re going into business, be sure to do a little of everything, hm? [select Why?] Well, I’ll tell you! That way, you’re diversified and risk less, yes? Having a wider focus has a downside, of course… Yes, yes, you’ve got a lot more to keep track of, hm? But imagine the alternative! When you’re banking on one thing and it goes under… You lose everything, hm? A fate worse than death! [select Oh, I get it.] Do you truly, [name]? Well, then, here’s what you must do… Expand your business only as far as you yourself can keep track of, yes? Trust no one! In this area, you can’t hire someone to manage for you. The city is very scary, hm? Say you have someone you trust. Why, they might… They might be waiting for you to turn your back so they can take your assets! So, remember my words, hm? Expand your field only as far as you can manage… Though it sounds easy, it’s not! And it’s the crux of good business!” | “Thank you! Do come again! I look forward to seeing you!” Thanks much! Please do come again. We'll be waiting, hm? | Wild World (Pelly): “…Oh! Goodness gracious! You must be (your name)! I am pleased to meet you! My name is Pelly, and I am a clerk here in the town hall. Tom Nook was kind enough to tell me all about you, (your name)… He informed me that in order for new residents to feel welcome, he has prepared a residence just for them! Yes! It is a touch modest, of course. Tom Nook has certainly…been in a giving mood lately, I must say. …Anyway, I am sure you are anxious to see your home! (gives you the map so you can find your home)” Sign: I'm not in at the moment. Please come again later! “Hey ho! You there! You’re (your name), yes? The youth that ordered this splendid house? Phew! I’m glad you made it in time! So, what do you think? Looks quite cozy and comfortable, hm? [It’s okay.] *laughs* You’ll get used to it soon enough. Not to worry, hm? Allow me an introduction. My name is Tom Nook, and I own the store in this town. In addition to running the store, I build and remodel existing homes. I built your house just as you ordered, so I trust you’ll pay it off, hm? Once you’ve paid it off, it’s all yours, (your name)! Ah, yes, of course, the question of cost… Well, the total comes to…a mere 19.800 Bells! [Are you serious?] Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho! Not to worry, hm? I wouldn’t ask you to pay it all off at once. (explains saving in your bed) So just pay it off bit by bit every day at the town hall, that’s all I ask, hm? [I’m gonna cry.] Worry not! Worry not, hm? If you want to know about making money, I’ll tell you! Yes, actually, I COULD explain it to you, but… It’s better to learn through living than listening, yes? Why don’t you come work part-time at my shop, hm? You’ll earn some money and learn about living in town! Two birds, one stone, hm? Yes, yes! What a great idea! Absolutely top-notch! Yes! It’s official! Why don’t you come by the shop in a little bit then, hm? If you don’t know where the shop is, then check your map. It’s simple, yes? Well then, I’ll be waiting for you at the store! Come on by!” “Oh, so you’ve decided to show your face! I was wondering if I’d ever see it! Unfortunately, you won't get much work done if your pockets are full. Why don't you drop off your belongings at home before you start working. All right then, first things first! You’ll need to change into these work clothes. If you must know, everyone who works here is required to wear a uniform. Just say the word once you’re done changing.” Yes, yes. That suits you just fine. And since that’s done, we’ll put you right to work. Yes, indeed! (plant flowers and trees quest) Check your pockets, and touch the seeds or sapling you want to plant. Keep touching it, and you'll be asked what you want to do with it. Simply choose Plant. It's as easy as that! Yes, indeed! However, if something is already there, you won't be able to plant anything. Oh, yes! I'm sure you know this, but make sure you do your planting outdoors! Now, now! Don't dillydally! I want you to finish up this chore quickly! That? I select only the finest goods for my patrons. I don't sell to employees! So did you give the grounds some charming character with the plants? I suppose I’ll have to trust your sense of style, won’t I, (your name)? (introduce yourself to the town quest, during your break) Use this time to introduce yourself to your neighbors—my customers! Be sure to knock before entering their houses. You don’t want to shock anyone. Oh! And don’t forget to introduce yourself to the mayor, too! He should be out for a walk near the town hall, so look for him around there. Very well, now! On your way! No dawdling! Be sure to introduce yourself to all the townsfolk and mayor! If you only talk to each villager once: “A quick nod and a mumbled >Hello< aren’t enough. Oh no! You have to get to know them! Relationships are built on trust. And not to forget – communication!” Yes, yes! You’ll get your bearings in (town name) faster by making friends! I suppose I'll put you in charge of furniture delivery for me. (furniture delivery job quest) Surely this is the type of work you had in mind when you accepted the job, no? So, I'd like you to deliver this furniture to [villager]. Go on! And don't stop to chew the fat along the way! Go straight there! And then come straight back! And let me know as soon as you're done, yes? If you forget who the recipient is, just touch the item in your pockets. You'll be reminded of who is waiting for it! And you can check your map to see where the addressee lives. Don't let me down now! I'm counting on you to make this delivery. Good luck! “Welcome back! Welcome back! Congratulations on your first successful delivery! You may not look the part, but you are surprisingly dedicated and efficient! Of course, the folks who get the job done get more jobs to do! Yes, indeed! (He gives you stationery so you can write a special offer letter to one of your villagers for him + thank them for their loyalty.) Now be quick about it! But I will not tolerate sloppy work! Correct any typos!” To write a letter, just tap the stationery. Next, tap Write Letter. Simple, yes? (mailing to wrong addressee) Did you get that letter sent off? Hmm... Something seems amiss. A little fishy, yes. Don't tell me you sent it to the wrong person! You did, didn't you? I don't know why, but that's the feeling I have in my gut. I know it's a baseless hunch, but I still want you to send the letter again! And this time, be sure to address it to [villager]! Indeed! Yes, yes. Here is your new stationery! Now, you be quick about hammering that out. And let me know as soon as you're done! (when throwing away the stationery) Do you need new paper to write your letter? > Grand idea! Yes, yes. Here is your new stationery! Well? Did you send it? Yes, yes. Good work. Nice job. Well done. It took a little longer than I expected, but you got the job done. Folks in (town name) love getting mail. If you don’t know how to send one… It will come back to bite you later. Now then, your next task will be to deliver a carpet! No slacking off this time! Understand, hm? This carpet is going to [villager], so I need you to get it there. And don't think that you can dillydally just because I'm not watching you. And no idle chitchat along the way, either. You understand me, yes? Good, then. Just let me know once you're done. Don't stand around here fishing for gossip! You have a delivery to make! My favorite saying is "Time is money." You'd be wise to remember that! Welcome back! Welcome back! And nice job! Looks like you're finally getting the hang of things around here! Why if you keep this up, I might consider offering you a permanent position! (tool delivery) watering can And don’t get any ideas! No using the products you’re delivering to others! If you get the urge to water withering flowers, you’ll have to do it on your own time, with a can you buy with your own money! Since that’s cleared up, get out there and show the world how well you deliver!” “Welcome back! You are working hard indeed! Now, now! Next up on your work schedule is... um... Yes, yes! Now I remember! (bulletin board ad message job) Just write something that the kids these days will think is “catchy” and “cool.” (you can’t erase it) So don’t write anything too embarrassing. I’ll be waiting for you so don’t take too long.” Oh, you don't have to think too hard about it. Anything will do. You don't have to give it too much thought. Why, everyone knows a true salesman doesn't even need to know what he's selling! Welcome back! Did you come up with something good? Good, good. Well done. So, that means... Oh! You're done! You're done! All the stacked-up work I had that needed doing is all done! Since I no longer have any work for you, I'm afraid I'll have to lay you off! Hm? What's that? Your mortgage? Oh, well, of course you'll still have to pay every last Bell of it back! If I deduct your wages so far, 1400 Bells, you have only 18.400 Bells left! Since there is no more work for you to do here, you'll have to find other methods. But you can sell anything you don't need and save up money that way. Of course, if you do want to sell anthing, just let me know. I pay top Bell! You may also be able to make a living running errands for the townsfolk. If you help them without much grumbling, they may just reward you. Oh, yes! Make payments at the town hall by depositing them into my account. Once you've paid off your loan, we can talk about your house. Your house is quite small now. I'm sure you'd like more space to stretch out. Happy Home Academy: Oh, [name]! What fantastic timing on your part! I'd completely forgotten a very important thing I must ask of you. Now that you've moved to [town name], the Happy Room Academy will rate you! It's not hard at all. And everyone is doing it, yes? All you have to do is keep your room looking nice and appealing. That's it! You won't even notice the academy representatives evaluating your room. And they'll send you the results of their evaluations from time to time. All you have to do it try to earn a high score. Not so much to ask, hm? So, what do you think? You will do it, right? Don't you know? Doesn't EVERYONE know?!? It's the Happy Room Academy! That is where fabulous style scientists study style night and day! It is the primary authority on research into the subject of style, yes? They evaluate the collection of furniture in a room, and, uh, the layout, and... Er, how well it matches your carpet and wallpaper, and, uh... At any rate, they research a lot of things, hm? They evaluate the living spaces of everyday animals. ...And people, hm? Those evaluations come in the form of a point total known as the HRA Rating. It can be quite difficult to earn a high score, but when one does, one feels joy! It gives one some pretty hefty bragging rights, if I do say so! Of course, you're willing to put your sense of style on trial, hm, [name]? You will do it, won't you? > Count me OUT. Hm... It perplexes me that you'd say such a thing... [name], I want to give your life some meaning, hm? That's why I ask! Please don't decline. Please! You must accept, yes? High scores mean you have a refined sense of style, [name]. You see? So show us all just how good your interior design skills are, hm? Well, good luck! > Count me in. I just knew you'd say that! | Wild World: “Thanks! Thanks much, (your name)! Finally, at long last, you’ve paid off all that debt! Thanks so much! Yes, yes! Unfortunately, I can’t get permits for a bigger house than you currently have! So, if you’re at a loss as to what to do with all your bags of money… Just open a savings account at the town hall. You know the place, I imagine, yes? You may still be young, but you need to save up for later in life, (your name)! It’s never too early to start saving for retirement. No, indeed! After all, there’s no social security in (town name)! So, now just deposit your money at the town hall, instead of making payments. But you can always make payments on products at the shop! Ho ho ho ho ho! Now that you’ve got no debt, you can buy anything you like! And I’ll be happy to sell it to you, hm?” | “Hm…I was wondering something, and you must forgive me if I sound naïve, yes?” | “Tom Nook is a huge fan of the monthly raffle. Not only does he get a day of relative leisure-all he has to do is turn a wheel – but the desire for prizes really drives furniture sales. People buy stuff just for tickets!” | Right now, we'd like to celebrate our new incline. Suitable, because our island spirit will be inclining as well! Would you be interested? I do hope that we can continue helping our wonderful island reach new peaks! Speaking of which... Let's hear some words of someone who has made all of this possible to begin with! Who could that be, hm? Our Resident Representative [name] of course! ... Considering our island population and the land we have available, I do believe this will be our last plot! I hope you're waiting with bated breath to see who will be able to grab the last piece of [island name]! I know I do! Villager: Wonderful! I will plan my move right away! However... what is it precisely that I need to do? Ah! So I just give this Tom Nook on [island name] a call? Understood! OK! Who should we talk to about moving their home? [villager]? Understood! The construction costs will run you 50,000 Bells. Should we talk to [villager] about this now? > Let me think on it. Changed your mind? Well, you know where to find me if you ever want to talk layout changes. > Yes, please! But of course! With pleasure! Then let's hear what [villager] thinks. Just a moment please... Ah, so that's how it is, yes, yes. Now then, [villager]... Are you alright with moving to the spot that [name] will choose for you? Villager: Sure, I do! [name] has never failed me! Splendid! Then everything is settled! [name] and I will be taking care of the rest, hm? Alright, [name]. Now that the arrangements have been made, let's quickly deal with the payment, hm? Next objective for you is to find a cozy little spot for [villager]'s house. I've placed a moving kit inside your pockets that will surely come in handy. Just stroll to whatever location you want the house to be in, and place it there! Hm, hm, yes, yes. At the moment, we're looking for a new house location for [villager]. Did you find a nice spot already? > Let's leave it where it is! Oho! No luck with your search? Might be better to postpone it, yes? Very well, then I'll just go ahead and take that moving kit off your hands and return the Bells to you that you had already paid, hm? I'll also notify [villager] that the move won't be happening. Ah, no need to worry, that happens. If you change your mind and set your eyes on a great spot, just let me know! Hm... [villager] recently moved to this island. Perhaps it'd be in poor taste to ask him/her to relocate? We ought to let a little time pass before suggesting the idea, don't you think? Moving buildings like the tailor shop, museum, Nook's Cranny etc.: Let's see what [Mabel/Blathers/Timmy and Tommy/etc] think(s) of the idea, then. Wait one moment while I contact her/him... (Hold on while I contact them... ) Well, Mabel... What do you think about [name]'s suggestion to move your shop? So, Blathers... [name]'s suggestion to move the museum... What do you think? ...So, Timmy, what do you think about [name]'s suggestion to move the shop? Mabel: That's fine by me! I'm sure Sable will be happy with wherever you pick too, [name]. Blathers: Why, yes! Of course I'm on board! Indeed, go forth and find us a place fitting for scientific wonder! Timmy: I'm all for it! [name] will find us a spot that'll make business boom! I'm sure of it! Alright then! Sounds great. You just leave the rest to me and our friend [name]. Yes, yes, indeed. At the moment you should be looking for a new place for the [tailor shop/museum/shop/etc]. Is something wrong? Something on your mind? And don't worry. Mabel will be fine. I'll let her know we won't be moving her shop after all. Don't worry. I'll be sure to tell Blathers that we won't be moving the museum after all. Ah, don't fret about Timmy and Tommy. I'll tell them we won't be moving their shop after all. Whoa, whoa... WHOA! Am I hallucinating or was that feedback signed by a "K.S."?! Isabelle: Hm? Yes, there it is. Very clear. "K.S." And the penmanship is quite striking, if I do say so myself. This case is clear. That's not just ANY "K.S.", that's... Could it be? Can it be? It MUST be! That message is from the one and only K.K. slider! Isabelle: AAAAAH! WHAT?! Unbelievable, it sounds like a dream! We've finally achieved our goal of bringing our island to the attention of THE K.K. Slider! Just what we've been wishing for all this time! Not only that, but he said he's looking for an excuse to visit! Then what are we waiting for you two! Let's make this happen! If K.K. is looking for an opportunity to visit the island, then let's give him one! Let's offer him the chance to hold a concert on our shores! Strike while the iron is hot, they say! Ah, hello! Do I, perhaps, have the pleasure of speaking with a Mr. K.K. Slider? Yes? This is... Yes, yes! I'm with Nook Inc, located on [island name]... The survey? Mmm-hmm... Yes! Indeed, we did! We greatly appreciate your valuable feedback! That's actually why I'm calling... We're planning on hosting a concert on our island, so we would like to... I mean, we would need a special guest - preferably someone who is fond of our ... Yes, quite... I see... OH MY! You mean...! Thank you so much, hm? Such an honor for our little island! I'm overjoyed! Yes, but of course! I'll be sure to mail you all the details straightaway! The entire island will be looking forward to it! Thank you again! Yes, yes! Talk to you soon! Isabelle: So... What did he say? He'll do the concert. That's right. K.K. Slider is coming HERE! Isabelle: Amazing! Congratulations, sir! He could be here as soon as tomorrow, but he has to check his schedule, of course. [name]! Can you believe it? We've finally turned our dream into a reality! We'll spread news of the concert via our island broadcast system. I do hope you'll be in attendance, [name]. You simply must hear K.K. play! Yes, yes, you must! after the K.K. concert in front of the player's house: Greetings, [name]! Did you enjoy K.K.'s concert too? It was wonderful, was it not? I'm overjoyed that we could get him to play here! It's so very special! And as a commemorative gift, I have his song "Welcome Horizons" for you! To listen to it, you'll need an item that can play music. And I do hope you enjoy it! Ah yes! And I have some big news too! K.K. is apparently very fond of our island now. He's going to perform a show here every Saturday evening from now on! It really is astounding... If someone had told me before, there is no way I would have believed it! [island name] that once was a deserted island, is now the location of significant concerts... I'm so grateful to you and everyone else on this island! I guess my getaway-package idea is a success, hm? I hope [island name] remains a delightful place to live for a long time to come! You've done so much to help our luck - no doubt, with you, our future looks bright! Speaking of which, I've developed a nooktastic, new app that should help you make the island even more inviting! Let me send it to you right away, yes, yes! The app I've just sent you is called "Island Designer"! Exciting, hm? It's a special app from Nook Inc. that gives residents the ability to take part in bold island development! At first, you'll only have permission to create paths, but you can use your miles to access more options, like... differents kinds of paths and permits for changing our cliffs and rivers! Once you get a taste of island design, I think you'll want more. I encourage you to obtain all the necessary permits! Oh yes, [island name] has come a long way... I think I'll leave more and more of the future development of this island in the hands of its residents. Ah [name], I do have high hopes for the future, yes, yes! On behalf of Nook Inc., I'm excited about our continued partnership and your [island name] plans! I'm sure your ideas will continue to be priceless! Thanks much for paying off your loan, hm? I simply have to ask... Is this... perhaps...related to the desire to expand further? Then I've got good news for you! It would be no problem to take out another loan! No problem at all, no, no! Just tell me if you wish to know more. Storage Expansion: Hello, hello! I'm guessing you didn't miss my missive, then! As I mentioned, I've begun providing expanded home storage to those with large homes. Unfortunately, such construction would not come cheap, so I'd need the entire cost to be paid up front. Now, I imagine that, as your house has grown, you've placed quite a few things into storage, hm? But then, before you know it, your storage is full! And where does your old couch go then? Where indeed... That's what expanded storage would aim to solve. So, think it over, and tell me if you'd like to know more! > Expand my storage. Oho! Curious about the home-storage expansion service, hm? Expanded storage would let you store many, many more things than you can currently. Now, for various reasons, I can't offer a loan for this. You'll have to pay 500,000 Bells up front. But I believe that's a small price to pay for the peace of mind you'll get from having all that extra space. So! Have I piqued your interest? Are you ready to spend 500,000 Bells and expand your home storage? > Yes, let's do it! Excellent! I'll start on the paperwork for the expansion right away. I believe that I'll have everything finished by tomorrow morning. Oh! This is so exciting! > Not now. Yes, yes, the cost is quite high. A decision like this shouldn't be rushed. Do come again anytime, hm? The expansion of your storage will be done by tomorrow. First thing in the morning! Exciting, isn't it? Oh well... It appears that you're a bit short on Bells, (your name). Not enough to fund this little project, no, no! So, pardon me, but nobody will work for nothing but a friendly paw shake... Please do return once you have the necessary Bells, hm? Do you wish to expand your home, hm? We could add yet another room. That would require taking out a loan for 548,000 Bells. Shall we proceed? > Yes, let's do it! Splendid! I'll get the construction started right away. Oh! That reminds me... If you wish to change the color of your roof, this would be the perfect opportunity to do it. We have eight different colors to choose from. Please pick a color for your roof, hm? Got it! Your roof will be [color]! Construction should be finished by tomorrow! I do believe you must be even more excited than I am! Well, hello there, [name]! And just like that your home has another proper room, hm? That's another upgrade to an even cushier lifestyle, yes, yes! Which brings us to... the cost of your remodel! That'll be [sum] Bells, hm? Ah, yes! Please make your payments using the Nook Stop's ABD feature as you've done before. Oh, and one other thing I should mention... Now that you've made some big improvements to your home, I can start offering customization services. This is not about increasing the size of your home. It's about changing the look of your home's exterior. Now, what we can offer does depend on the size of your home, but... you'll pay for customization up front so you can prioritize customization over home expansion and vice versa! As always, it's been ever so nice doing business with you. Yes, yes! One other thing I should mention... as part of the home-customization services available to you, you can now order replacement doors. A new door will change the vibe of your home, so I do hope you give it a try sometime! As always, it's been ever so nice doing business with you. Yes, yes! Postcard: "Dear [name]! I'm writing to advise you of some special Nook Miles+ activities that are available from now until May 4th. All part of our Nature Day event! Yes, yes! I do hope you'll come see me for more details, hm? - Tom Nook of Nook Inc." [name]! If you've seen my postcard, you already know this, but... For a limited time, we're going to have a special Nature Day promotion for Nook Miles+ members. During the event, we'll be giving out more miles than usual for your eco-friendly island activities. We'll also have a special gift, so do consider participating, won't you? Of course, it's my hope that island residents will be eco-friendly all the time, not just around Nature Day... Oh, look at that! You've already taken part in the Nature Day activities, haven't you, [name]? Yes, yes! So like you to jump right into the action, you glowing example for the rest of [island name]! Now then, as you've demonstrated your eco-mindfulness, I have a special present for you. The flourishing dream of any gardener: a DIY recipe for crafting your very own hedges! Keep up the good work, hm? I'd truly love to have you continue taking part in our Nature Day activities! We can customize the exterior of your home for 5000 Bells. If you place your order now, it'll be ready by tomorrow morning. Now then... are you interested? > Maybe another time. My, my... Changed your mind? Well, you know where to find me if you want to customize your home. > Yes, please! Excellent! Then I'll show you our design catalog and you can choose what you'd like for your new home. Hmmm... Interesting design choice! That'll be 5000 Bells! Many thanks! I'll make sure that construction is done by tomorrow morning. If you're like me, you're already excited! Your exterior customization order will be ready tomorrow morning. I know! It's all very exciting, hm? Ready to expand your home, hm? I believe another room would give you the extra space you desire. We'd be talking about a loan of 758,000 Bells. Shall we proceed? Wishing for a bit more space, hm? Why, with a hammer and some elbow grease, we can put a large, one-room second story on your home! Of course... adding a whole new floor does entail heavy contruction fees. We'd be talking about a loan of 1,248,000 Bells. Shall we proceed? Now then, your home has a new floor, has it not? You could use this extra space for some interior design experiments, yes, yes! Which brings us to... the cost of your remodel! That'll be 1,248,000 Bells, hm? Ah, yes! Please make your payments using the Nook Stop's ABD feature as you've done before. And there is one more thing... You can now customize the exterior of your home! Roof, siding, door, mailbox... You've got many options! Oh and by the way, not only can you customize your mailbox, but you can also reposition it! Simply pick it up using Y and place it where you want it to be. As always, it's been ever so nice doing business with you. Yes, yes! Let me congratulate you once more - with all my heart! From one entrepreneur to the other? ...You truly have a good sense for making Bells. Yes, yes! Just think about it... Turning a mere tent into a two-story home! Intriguing, indeed! Most certainly you're beyond the simply need for more space by now. Nevertheless, there is one question that remains... Where would we be without big dreams? Not in this little paradise, no, no! That I can assure you! So without having any business-related ulterior motives, let me suggest something... I could build you a basement. What you do with this information is entirely for you to decide! And congratulations again, hm? Oho! Are you interested in having your very own basement? Now, you've weathered some serious sticker shock before, so I'm sure you can handle it, but be warned - this'll be costly. All told, we'll be looking at a grand total of 2,498,000 Bells. Are you still interested? Your home has a proper basement now, does it not? You surely won't find many folks with a home as impressive as yours! We're celebrating several occasions at once! My, my, [island name] is truly a lucky island! Do you wish to take part in one of our ceremonies? I'd like to begin our special ceremony celebrating the grand opening of our fancy new museum! Thank you! Thanks much! As I'm sure you've all noticed, [island name] has gone through marvelous, wondrous changes! It's all due to the fine residents of this island who work together daily! Yes, yes, you have my thanks! Now then, I'd like to ask Blathers to say a few words as the representative from our newly remodeled museum. Blathers... if you would? Just... um... a word or two? Blathers: Hoot, indeed! I shall keep this brief. Ahem! Dearest residents of [island name]... It is an honor and a pleasure to take this moment to thank you for your continued support of the museum! Your diligent efforts have turned this museum into the grand... nay, the MAGNIFICENT attraction it is today! So many fish! So many fossils! So. many. insects. Indeed, all who set foot, hoof, or paw in this museum have you to thank for the splendors they behold. And now we have opened a new addition, one I have dreamt of since I was but an owlet... Yes! A proper art gallery! One in which we shall display proper art! Paintings! Statues! Proper! Art! By Jove, my cultural and curatorial dreams have come true! Hoot hoot and hooooray! I beg your pardon! My enthusiasm has me running at the beak once again. To the point, then. As we celebrate this new wing of the museum, I feel I must entreat you... Please, do continue to donate your aquisitions. I ask this not just for the betterment of the museum... But for the betterment of us all. Hoo, and thank you. Er... Yes... I mean... No! Thank YOU, Blathers, for those many... many... many words... of wisdom. Now then, let's hear a FEW words from someone whose valuable contributions have made this remodel possible in the first place. Of course I mean [name], our Resident Representative, hm? [name]? Right now, we'd like to celebrate the brand-new Nook's Cranny renovations! Would you be interested? Then we shall begin our special ceremony celebrating the grand opening of our fancy new Nook's Cranny! ... I'd like to ask our Nook's Cranny representatives, Timmy and Tommy, to say a few words! Timmy? Tommy? If you would. Timmy: Residents of [island name]! We've remodeled Nook's Cranny into the wonderful shop you see before you! Tommy: Yep! And we're offering a wider selection of goods than ever before! It's all so we can do a better job of supporting you and this island! Yes, yes, thank you both! Next, let's hear a few words from someone who keeps making many valuable contributions to this island's development! Of course, it's our Resident Representative, [name]! Villager: ...Capito! So I'll just talk to Tom Nook! Alrighty, sounds fantastic! Now, I won't be able to expand your home any further. But I must say it has been a pleasure serving you! Final Home Loan Paid: My goodness, you've done it. You've paid off your home-renovation loan in full! Again. As of this moment, you're debt-free and set for life in an amazing, spacious island home! Yes, yes! ...I know you're just waiting for me to offer you yet another expansion, but we've reached the end of that. But I do have something else to offer you. For free, of course. Nook Inc. guarantees our work for life, and as a small token of our appreciation... we are proud to offer you a lifetime of free exterior renovations! Limit one per day, terms and conditions apply. Yes, yes... I'm legally required to say that... I do hope that Nook Inc. can still be of service to you for years to come. And once again, my congratulations! We can customize the look of your home's exterior for free! Oho! I'll wager you're here to grab a May Day Ticket, [name]? As part of our May Day celebration, I'm handing them out to everybody who asks nicely, hm? Speaking of which... it's time for a little pop quiz... Do you know what we're celebrating on May Day? > I... may. > Not... really. Oh! Then let me briefly explain it to you. Yes, yes, May Day is a day when we express our gratitude to those who work hard. Although, I suppose my May Day event is more about play than work... My getaway-package idea started as a way for folks to escape and enjoy carefree lives on deserted islands. I'm counting on the fact that you've been enjoying a leisurely island life here as well. However, I can't help but think about all of the support I've gotten from our wonderful island residents... It can TRULY be said that a lot of hard work has gone into making this island shine! As a thank-you, Nook Inc. has created a special tour for island residents. Oho yes, yes! I call it the May Day Tour! I'm sure everyone will enjoy the recreational activities I've planned! So do take this opportunity to hop on a plane, take a trip, and unwind after all your hard work! You very well deserve it! I've left a May Day Ticket for you at the airport counter. May 7th is the last day you can use it, so take flight whenever you like before the event ends. I think that's everything I've been meaning to tell you. Did you need me to repeat any of that? Well, that doesn't surprise me. You've always been a wise one, [name]! > Nope, I'm good! I'd love to hear your thoughts after you've gone on your trip. But until then, have a good time on your May Day Tour, [name]! I got a May Day Ticket from Tom Nook with "[name]" written on it, which makes it yours. This May Day Tour is a special trip to a faraway island. It's all organized by Tom Nook! As for what awaits you there... You'll just have to find out when you land! And for this tour, you have to go empty-handed. Those are the rules. We'll hold on to all your belongings here at the counter. Don't worry! We'll be sure to return them when you get back. [You're being sent into a labyrinth that you can solve using your DIY abilities and the energy you gain by eating fruit.] Rover: It's, uh, a pretty weird island, isn't it? What brings you here, anyway? > Tom Nook sent me! Wait. You know Tom Nook?! He's the reason I'M here too! I mean, I'm here because he invited me. He told me he put together a very interesting attraction on this island and I should check it out... But I didn't expect to find a maze! Mya ha ha ha howr! What a surprise! So... if you know Tom Nook, does that mean you live on the same island as he does? > It shore does! Neat! I hear Nook's been putting a ton of work into that place... What was it called again? Oh yeah! [island name], right? > Ding ding ding! Tom Nook has really made a name for himself! Back in the day, all he used to have was the apron he wore! Wilbur: For the love of Nook's ever-flyin' ink-jet printer! Did you soar through the entire maze, [name]? Way to go! You'll have to let ol' Nook now. Oh! I heard you took your May Day Tour, [name]! We spared no cost or effort putting the event together. So tell me... How did it go, hm? > It was fun! I'm so glad to hear that! Yes, truly! Believe me, when you're happy, I'm happy! I also heard that you managed to make your way through the maze! Perhaps it was too easy for an adventurer of your skill, hm? Well, I'm just pleased that you had a good time. Allow me to once again express my gratitude for everything you and the other residents do. It's thanks to you that [island name] is a vibrant island community! And you can be sure that Nook Inc. will continue to do whatever we can to support you. After all, we're in this together, partner, hm? When having a friend visit you: Apologies, but I’m abuzz with activity at the moment due to the off-island company visiting right now. You should use this opportunity to show off our island. Be an excellent host, [name]! We can always chat after our company leaves. Villager: How many books would Tom Nook cook if Tom Nook cooked his books? Halloween: Big Halloween Party The 31st of October marks Halloween, our big party will start at 5 PM. Yes, yes! Hope to see you... and do remember to bring candy, hm? Tom Nook New Year Countdown event: Ah, [name]! Hello, hello! I'm helping everyone gear up for the Countdown event today! I've got some nifty party goods for ringing in the new year, so take a look, hm? Oh! That reminds me! I also have some Countdown-related gifts! Those are party poppers! I have no doubt they'll bring some fun and excitement to the Countdown! This event only happens once a year, so make the best of it! Welcome, welcome! Are you in need of any party goods to spice up your Countdown? It's 500 Bells for a trendy New Year's hat, and today only it's 300 Bells for a five-pack of party poppers! No need? That's quite alright! If you catch the party fever later, do come see me, hm? Thank you! Always a pleasure! What color of New Year's hat would you like? [on the island of a your friend/friends] Hello, hello, and welcome to [island name]! Today is the big day! The whole island is celebrating the New Year Countdown event! To make it even more festive, I can provide you with some great party goods! Do take a look, hm? Oh! And I've got presents for everyone celebrating with us today. Exciting indeed! I have no doubt you'll enjoy your stay on [island name], have fun, yes, yes! [during the event (night)] The new year is right in front of us! Now then, [name]! Happy New Year! Much luck, many blessings, and many, many Bells! Happy New Year! Can I interest you for some great party goods to celebrate? Happy New Year! We hope that you'll be back to celebrate with us next year! Hello there! Here is your present, this time I can fortunately give it to you! Those are party poppers. The new year has already reached us, but it's never to late to get in the festival mood! Your birthday: On [date], we celebrate [name]! Birthdays are all about showing appreciation for our friends. Let's make sure this one is no exception! - Tom Nook Hello, hello, [name]! I don't say it enough, but, [name], you are such an important part of [island name]. Yes, yes! You make sure that this coming year is truly a great one! - Tom Nook, Nook Inc. | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | “Of course, I am only here for, uh, BUSINESS purposes. I would never skip work for a concert, no, no!” | „…Well, actually, I was just thinking about the good old days, hm? I know it seems that the world is my oyster, what with my fine shop… But in my childhood, I lived the kind of life you couldn’t even imagine! [select Really?] Yes, yes, but this was all some time ago, before I moved to this town, hm? Of course, I was born in our lovely [town], but I moved away for a time… Yes, yes, the city years, I like to call them. I was a raccoon of action, hm? The big city certainly had its charms…but it had its pitfalls, as well. Indeed, I had to endure certain hardships that I’ve never spoken of, hm? …Hard to believe, yes? You’re probably asking yourself, what the heck is Nook talking about, hm? For now, [name], maybe it’s best that we forget we ever talked about this.“ | Animal Crossing The Movie: Oh welcome! Do come in! Feel free to browse but try not to carouse! What in particular are you looking for? > Oh! I didn’t come here to buy anything. My name is Ai. I was told my Miss Pelly to come by Mr. Tom Nook who will be my landlord. < Is that right. Ugh. Why didn’t you say so from the start… > I’m sorry. < I need you to put this on. (an apron) We have lots to do today so you’ll have to start working right away. > …Working? < Alright. Your job will be to take care of the deliveries. > Deliveries? Wait…I just came to get the key, I wasn’t really looking for work. < The quickest way for you to get used to your new life in the Animal village is by working. > Is that true? < Of course it’s true. While working you can introduce yourself to all the residents. > I guess you might be right. < I think you mean: Yes, you are right. > But still, it’s so sudden… < Come now, come now, time is money they say. > Hm…Alright. Here is today’s delivery list. > Thanks! Well…I’m off. < There’s a lot more to do today when you come back so do go straight there and come straight back, hm? See you tomorrow! Bright and early. I'll be waiting! | City Folk: (Pelly tells you about the 4 vacant houses and shows them to you on the map) “Once you find your future home, I bet you’ll bump into the owner, Tom Nook. You’ll need to talk to him about payment for the place…” “Ah hello! You must be (your name)! Yes, yes, I’ve been hearing so very much about you! Welcome to (town name)! My name is Tom Nook, and I run a shop here in town. I look forward to your patronage there, hm? …So, how was the house, hm? You’re very much liking it, aren’t you? [Not really…] Oh, gracious, really? …Well, I guess it is the biggest purchase most people ever make. Take a look at the other houses and let me know which one you like!” Well, well, (your name). I bet that was the first time you’ve seen a house like that, yes? What’d you think, hm? Did you like it? [It’s great.] Good, good! So, you will be buying this house, yes? [I’ll take it!] Well then, that decides it! From now on this is your house, (your name)! And think of that stereo inside as a moving-in gift from old Tom Nook, hm? (Couldn’t sell it anyway…) So, tell me, (your name)… Did you see the attic? (explains saving in your bed) So please, don’t ever forget to do it. A crucial detail, yes? That’s all I needed to say about the house, but I suppose you might have questions, yes? (asks if he should repeat) Yes,yes, you’ll figure it out in time. Now we need to broach the delicate issue of payment. So, erm… There’s the land, the building, taxes, surcharges, various fees, and whatnot… So, the total for the house is 19.800 Bells! If you say OK to the payment: Ah, now that's good to hear! Yes, yes, very good. I will appreciate it if you pay by money transfer, if you don't mind. I'll let you know the details later. But, [name], there is something more important than settling the house business... And that is... how do you plan on making a living here, hm? You see, this is a business for me, yes? So, I expect you to pay off that loan eventually. Yes, yes. Hm... Yes... I know! [name], you can come work for me part-time at the shop for a little while! I can teach you how to make money, show you around town... Two birds with one stone, yes? [No way!] Whoa ho ho ho ho ho! You are having a joke! Of course, it’s nothing to worry about so much! Tom Nook is no scary loan shark, no! You just pay it back in your own time, (your name). But with that said… For money, (your name)… Why don’t you come work part-time at my shop, hm? You’ll learn how to save, as well, which will certainly be a tremendous help in your new life! > NO WAY! ... ...Look, I had no desire to say this... But listen, [name]... You just got here, yes? And you have no credit in this town, yes? Then I suggest you stop being selfish and just give me a hand in the shop! It might even help you get to know the town and the folks in it a little better. Makes sense, hm? And if you work for me, then I can rest assured you'll pay your loan off, [name]. You see? No one's saying you must work for free... Get it? > ... I must tell you, if you have that much time to think about it, then we might as well just get it done, hm? [He proceeds to give you the "introduce yourself to the town" quest, as if you had accepted] If you're tired after your big move, feel free to rest up a bit first, yes? Like I said, you should use the bed in the attic. That is to say, if you're done for the day, you should DEFINITELY use it! ...Of course, you may be the type that doesn't like to sleep in a bed... Yes, yes, if you're THAT type, you can always just use the SAVE button in the upper right corner of the screen. And you know, [name], you are officially a homeowner now, yes? So, wouldn't it be nice to take a picture to commemorate such an important occasion? (explains taking screenshots) So, take some nice pictures and preserve some wonderful memories here in [town name]! Yes, what's the matter? Go on and say hello to everyone in town! And don't forget to say hello to the mayor in the town hall, hm? I'm going to head back, so just come by the shop when you're done! > I'll do it. Very good, it’s decided! Well, I can’t leave the shop unattended forever, so let’s get down to brass tacks! Hrm…You’ve decided on a fine house, so why don’t you go introduce yourself to everyone in town, hm? Oh! And make especially sure you introduce yourself to the mayor! Yes, yes! The mayor should be in the town hall, so don’t forget! In the meantime, I’ll go get some work ready for you. Just come by the shop later, (your name), yes? You can take a look at your map to find the shop and town hall, so don’t run about willy-nilly!” “Try to remember everyone’s names and faces. That should help you adjust to this new town. So…You’re just about to start your exciting new part-time, job, yes? Yes, yes, very good. First, I want you to change into your work clothes. Strictly speaking, what I mean by that is the uniform for part-time workers. Let me know when you’re done changing, hm?” Those are for customers! You're at work here, so this is no time to shop, hm? “Ah yes, that looks quite fitting on you. (flower/sapling planting) Sometimes brightening up the outside of your store is just the thing to perk up business, yes? So make sure it looks really nice out there! (delivering furniture job follows) My customers wait eagerly for their goods to arrive, so try to deliver them as quickly as you can, hm? And get back quickly, too! Don't just loaf about, nibbling the grass on the side of the road! Now go ahead and get started! (Your name), that was fast for your first job! You get things done in a flash, hm? (direct mail quest) That seemed to take a little too long for my liking, but at least you got it done. Everyone in [town name] really likes letters, so if it didn't go out, I'b be in trouble, hm? (proceeds to the carpet delivery quest) And just because you don’t think I’m watching, don’t go taking detours and chatting about, hm?” Come now! Don't just stand around like an unsold lamp! You've got a delivery to [villager] to make! Do you know my favorite phrase? "Time is money!" Don't go wasting either of mine, hm? “Looks like you’re starting to get the knack for this whole “working for a living” thing, hm? Keep up the good work! I like what I see! (tool delivery, watering can, don’t use it yourself) (bulletin board quest) I’ll leave the wording up to you, but make sure it’s something snazzy that all the young kids will like. And remember, lots of people will see it, so don’t write anything that will make us look bad.” And don't fuss over it too much. Just jot something eye-catching and witty and come back speedily, hm? “You’re done! Yes, done! Those were all the odd jobs I had lying around! (you still have to pay the rest of the home loan, 18.400 as usual, explains how you can make money, pay your loan via the ABD (Automatic Bell Dispenser) and renovate eventually) So, er... Good work here in the shop and everything. And don’t forget to do all your shopping right here!” | City Folk: “Yes, yes, greetings to my friend, (your name)! Thanks much for paying off your renovation loan in full! Now, to celebrate your newly expanded home and the timely repayment of your loan… I’m going to give you a wonderful flag, that will make you the envy of all that see it, hm? It’ll be ready tomorrow, so be prepared to be stunned by what’s in front of your house in the morning! An, and while we’re chatting, I should tell you that I can’t make your house any larger than it is. So from now on, if you don’t know what to do with your money… Try saving it, hm? Yes, you’re still young and energetic, (your name). But it’s never too early to start saving for your retirement, hm? There’s no social security in (town name), hm? Ho ho! Of course, you could start contributing to the (town name) Fund at the town hall, hm? Or you could buy a few luxury items for yourself at my shop, yes? Treat yourself right, hm? Just make sure you don’t spend all that hard-earned money in one place!” | “You must agree, sending out flyers announcing sales is great business, yes?” | “Tom Nook is “The Man.” Everybody relies on him for basic supplies and a steady income. And after you become a Nook regular, your shopping trips will become shopping extravaganza.” | Letter: Dear [name], can you believe this? It has already been one year since we have started our journey with the Deserted Island Getaway Package! This just calls for an anniversary present, yes, yes! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Nook Inc. further storage expansions with update 2.0: Ah, [name]! Hello, hello! Say! I sent you a note about this through the mail already, but... You can expand your home storage even further now! Exciting, hm? Just like last time, you'll need to pay the construction fees up-front. With a few additional upgrades, we could boost your maximum storage by a considerable amount! So, if you want to expand your home storage even further, come find me so we can talk about your home! Ready to expand your home storage yet again? Yes, yes. Of course. It should be said again: the greater the expansion, the greater the complexity... the greater the cost. Like last time, you cannot take a loan to cover the fee, so you'll need to pay 700,000 Bells in advance. Do you want to pay 700,000 Bells now and begin your latest home-storage expansion? I love your enthusiasm! But I'm afraid I have to remind you that the entire fee must be paid up front. You don't appear to have the full amount with you at the moment. I know that's not an amount of Bells you'd carry around every day, but... please come back once you have the full amount with you. Excellent! I'll start on the paperwork for the expansion right away. I believe that I'll have everything finished by tomorrow morning. Oh! This is so exciting! You have more storage in your home now, yes, yes? Perfect for storing all sorts of furniture and things! I think we can expand your home storage even further. In case you feel cramped again, that is. If you want to discuss another storage expansion, I'm always happy to talk about your home! [The text of the 900,000 Bells-expansion basically matches the 700,000 Bells-one.] Final storage expansion: Another home-storage expansion, hm? Yes, yes. Every home has a limit for potential storage space. This next expansion would be your final. It would also be the most challenging expansion yet. Quite an effort. As such, the construction fees must be higher to match... The logistics will be tricky. You'll want to ensure high-quality work... Quality requires an up-front payment of 1,200,000 Bells. Would you like to pay that now so we can begin? By the way, I won't be able to expand your home storage any further. We've reached the limit. You, on the other hand, seem to know no limits. Not only did you pay back your entire home loan, but... You've also expanded your potential storage to its maximum capacity! How amazing. That does feel like the right word for it - and for you as well, [name]! Yes, yes! Of course, Nook Inc. will always be here to support your housing needs. Let me know if there are any other concerns I can help you with, hm? The Roost celebration: Now then... I'd like to begin our special ceremony celebrating the grand opening of our fancy new museum! Thank you! Our fine [island name] started with nothing more than a single tent, and just look at it now. That's thanks to everyone's hard work and dedication. I simply can't thank you all enough! I want to invite the museum's curator, Blathers, and the Roost`s owner, Brewster, to say a few words. Yes, yes! Gentlemen, if you would both be so kind! Blathers: Residents of [island name]! I most humbly thank each and every one of you for your ongoing support of our esteemed museum. Brewster and I are old friends, and it pleases me to my very pinfeathers to have him open his café here. This new addition shows how our museum is more than an institution of learning and culture. It is also a place for rest, relaxation, and stirring conversation among the [island name] community. I hope the Roost's coffee fuels many an animated discussion, and I look forward to seeing all of you there! Brewster: Come by if you want some coffee. I'll clean a cup for you. Tom: Blathers, Brewster, thank you both! Next I'd like to thank the one who tracked Brewster down - our Resident Representative, [name]! It's only right that we get a comment from [name] as well, hm? [the rest is repeating the usual text for the opening ceremonies] | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | „…You know Harriet, the hairdresser who recently moved into my store, yes? Well, just the other day, she said to me… “Nook, sugar, have you ever thought about changing your hairstyle just a skosh?” [select AHHH ha ha ha!] Well, I never! How very rude of you! You may not believe this, since it’s not incredibly obvious to the naked eye… But I trim my hair every day, hm? Without fail! And on top of that, depending on how I feel that day, I customize it! Now, perhaps it might be a little too subtle for most people, but… That’s how I express myself! It’s where I let it all hang out, as they say, hm? Don’t think I’ve not tried alternatives! This is the only style that suits me!” | „The other day, after I told you a little about my past, young [name]… I started thinking more and more about the days of my youth, hm? [select Nostalgic?] …Actually, I think you hit the nail on the head! Yes, yes, right on it! I don’t know what’s come over me. I’m a businessman first and foremost… I shouldn’t let my mind wander while working, hm? Work is work, and Bells are Bells… And the world can be a cold, cruel place! [select Don’t say that!] Oh, an optimist, hm? Well, well, [time]… I expected you to be more cynical than that, hm? Tell me, have you ever in your life joined the work force? It’s brutal! The working world is a tough place… Definitely dog eat dog, hm? Let your guard down, and before you know it, the Man’s got you pinned! No matter how grand your dreams are or how lofty your goals become… In the end, in this world, money is everything, hm? …Dreams alone aren’t enough to make your belly full, no!“ | Nintendo Direct Fall 2018: “I see that Isabelle has joined the fight, hm? It makes me so proud when my friends get out there and try new things! Oh, I just remembered! I’ve got other business to attend to… I’ve got to make sure everyone has a nice, new place to come home to when they’re ready, yes? I’m sure they’ll be tuckered out after all that camping and smashing and whatnot. So it’s back to work for me!” | Happy Home Designer: Today is the day our new employee arrives, yes, yes! The new addition should be here at any moment, so I shall use this time to double-check the hiring forms. Hm, now where have those hiring forms gotten themselves off to...? I'm certain they were right here. Pardon me, Lottie! Perhaps you know. Do you remember the new hire's name? Lottie: What? You don't remember? Please, Mr. Nook, try to keep it together. If I recall correctly, the name was... [name]. Yes, that's it! I'm sure of it. The new hire's name is [name], right? Lottie: Honestly, Mr. Nook. You really need to keep better track of these things! Oh ho! I certainly blanked out on that name for a moment! And it's such a nice name, too. A rare moment of forgetfulness for me! I'm sure it won't happen again... Now, from what I recall, this new employee happens to be... [gender]. But am I certain he's a boy/she's a girl? Yes, yes! He is a boy/She is a girl, of course. Now, if only I could remember what he/she looks like... [char creation]. Of course! This is what he/she looks like, yes? Ah! I remember him/her perfectly now. There's no forgetting a person like [name]! Ah, good morning, [name]! Welcome to Nook's Homes. Come in. Allow me to introduce you to everyone, yes, yes! Everyone, this is [name]. Starting today, he/she will be working with us here at Nook's Homes! Perhaps I should give you a quick introduction to each of your new colleagues, hm? This fellow here is Lyle. Lyle: Bang! Nice to meet ya, [name]. Lyle is something of a veteran in the office. He's been here almost as long as I have. In fact, he's so good at what he does, even I don't quite understand what he's doing most of the time. Ha ha! I'm kidding! Of course I know how everything works! Now then, next is our dog about town, Digby. Digby: Nice to meet you! My name's Digby! It's a real pleasure to have you working here with us, [name]. I hope we'll get a chance to work together on a project really soon. Digby is certainly one of our most enthusiastic employees, as you may have gathered. Finally, let me introduce Lottie. AHEM! Lottie? Lottie: Yes? Oh! Hi there! Lottie is an exceptional employee and a consummate professional. She's also an expert in home design! Lottie will be handling your training as well, so pay attention and follow her advice. As you all know, I'm a very busy raccoon, so that wraps up today's meeting. Lottie, he/she is all yours! Good-bye, my obedient employees! (Busy, busy, oh so busy...) Lottie: That boss of ours! He likes to complain about his busy schedule... even though we all know he's just rushing off to make his tee time. Ha! Well, enough about golf. Let's get you settled in! We're all so glad you joined the company, [name]. [explains the basics of interior design] But before we get started, you should take this! [hands you the uniform] There's a changing room upstairs, so head on up and change into your official uniform, [name]. Lottie: [after changing into the uniform] A perfect fit! Mr. Nook likes to see his employees wear the company uniform, so make sure you wear it tomorrow too! [You proceed to design Lottie's room] I'll be sure to let the boss know you passed your training with flying colors. Lottie: You should sit down at your desk and write your daily report! We've got to write a report each and every day, so don't forget. Mr. Nook likes to read 'em! Lottie: Welcome back, tiger! Another great job today. Thanks for that! Speaking of great things... I got a call from the boss! Mr. Nook will be here tomorrow to greet clients. You haven't seen him since your first day! He's looking forward to rubbing elbows with you again. Lottie: Good timing, tiger! The boss is here with an important client. Why don't you introduce yourself, [name]! Or go say hi, at least! Greetings, [name]. With your arrival, that means everyone is here, yes, yes! This is Isabelle from the town hall. She is supporting our company's new town development procedures. Isabelle, this is our newest employee, [name]. While he/she is relatively new to the designing game, he/she will not disappoint you, no, no. Isabelle: Pleased to meet you, [name]! I'm Isabelle! Lottie, Mr. Nook, and my brother, Digby, have told me so many great things about you. Truth be told, while I'm listed as your support on these projects, I'll probably need YOUR support more. Anyway, since the town hall has opened funds for a new facility, I wanted to let Nook's Homes know. Aha! This is wonderful news! This means we can start on the project right away, yes, yes! Thank you for letting us know, Isabelle. Isabelle: Oh, no, I should be thanking you, since it'll be your team doing all the hardest work. In any case, I thought I'd pass that brief update along. I'll have more to share tomorrow morning. OK, I'd better get going. See you all in the morning! Yes, yes! Perfect! An, incidentally, I will not be in the office tomorrow. I have important meetings all day. Yes, yes, very important indeed. But we'll make sure everything gets taken care of, won't we? Now then, I take it you'll have no problem helping in the morning, hm, [name]? > Leave it to me! Yes, yes! A promising response indeed! Be sure to remain on your best and most professional behavior when you meet with Isabelle tomorrow. And with that, it's time for me to head home for the day. It's been a full workday, yes, yes? Keep up that positive energy, and bring in some clients! Until I see you again! Good-bye! Lottie: No mercy, huh? Mr. Nook is a tough boss but a fair one. His employees are very important to him. He'd never give them a job they couldn't handle! Of course, if he gives you a big job, he expects you to get it done - and get it done well. But before any of that happens, you should head outside to drum up some new business. Lottie: Remember what the boss said - Isabelle's coming by tomorrow to talk about building that facility. I've got a good feeling about that one, I'll tell you. You should rest up in preparation for the big day! Lottie: Oh! I almost forgot. Mr. Nook called earlier and said he wanted to see you tomorrow morning. I didn't ask what he wanted to see you about, but he sounded happy on the phone. That's a good sign! Digby: Since you’re here I’m getting the feeling he is coming to the office way more. Lottie: Hey, there you are! Glad you're here at last, [name]! The boss ACTUALLY came in today. I think he wanted to talk to you about something. Yes, yes, good morning! I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your work on the school. Very good work, [name]. Your ability to handle a project of that magnitude has made me decide to give you more responsibility. Starting today, I'd like to officially make you the project leader of town development! > I won't let you down! That's the sort of attitude I like to see, yes, yes! With this, you are now free to work on any new facility you choose. Quite a step up, hm? Ah yes, that reminds me! Isabelle should be arriving tomorrow with details about new facilities the town needs. But before you see her tomorrow, I wish to present you with a little gift today, yes, yes! I've placed it on your desk, so be sure to look it over at your leisure. It's a copy of the Happy Home Handbook, a set of lessons designed to help you improve your skills. You may find it rather enlightening regarding decorating tips or other such things related to your job. Ordinarily, you would have to pay for each lesson with your hard-earned Play Coins, but... well, because I'm so generous, I have offered you this first lesson for free. Yes, yes, I am too kind. Now then, I should get back to my own work. (Those links aren't going to hit themselves...) Good-bye for now, [name]. And good luck! Lottie: I bet he's off to play another round of golf. I guess that's one of the perks of being the boss! There was one more thing I wanted to mention... Oh, that's right! The Happy Home Handbook! I've been studying the handbook in my spare time, and the lessons are really helpful. Lots of good tips! Make sure you take advantage of the free lesson Mr. Nook is offering! Don't forget what the boss said - Isabelle is coming tomorrow to talk about the public works project. You're pretty much in charge of developing these projects for our new town, so be ready! Isabelle: Now, I'd like to ask company president Tom Nook to say a few words. Yes, yes, thank you, Isabelle, and thank you, [name]! Because of you, and of course the combined efforts of all my employees, this town is a success! While town development may be settling down, Nook's Homes is still on the rise! I expect everyone else is of the same mind, so I look forward to the future. Isabelle: Thank you for that wonderful speech, Mr. Nook! Building a home for Nook himself: Hello, yes, yes, this is Tom Nook. What can I do for you? A home appointment, hm? ...Interesting. I suppose I could slot you in for a home appointment today. What sort of home were you looking for? Oh! Gracious! You mean for me? Why, no one has ever asked to help me with my home before, no, no! I would be delighted to have you serve me. I'll be right down to the Nook's Homes office to talk more. If I'm not mistaken, you are [name]. I am Tom Nook, the owner of Nook's Homes. I'm aware you already know this, but formalities must be upheld! Now on to the dire business regarding my home. I have something for you to do, or rather, to undo. I need a brand new house. Heh, imagine that... Client's vision [Tom Nook]: I'll leave it up to you! Would you be interested in taking on this project, hm? > Leave it to me! Ah, you will truly help me? This is wonderful news! I am fast learning how dependable you are, yes, yes. Good luck on your task, [name]. I look forward to the results. Lottie: All right, Mr. Nook. It’s time to start planning your new home. [name], please pick a location that would be perfect for our boss. No pressure. (after picking a good spot) Great! All we have to do now is design and decorate the house! [name], please take our esteemed boss to the site of his new home. Ah, so this is where you've decided to place my home? Hm... I like it, yes, yes! Carry on! Have you finished, hm? > Yes, yes! Splendid! Splendid indeed! Shall we have a look around? I deem this job complete, hm? Good work, [name]. You've done well today, yes, yes. 'Would you like to connect with Tom Nook?' > Yes! Hello? Yes, yes, this is Nook. Yes, yes, hello, [name]! Did you need something from me? > Deluxe remodel. > New House. > Just saying hi! [When you chose "Deluxe remodel."] The thought of a deluxe remodel had not occured to me, but you are right as always, yes, yes! I shall be right over so we may discuss the details, hm? Yes, yes, you should start on the deluxe remodel immediately. Are you OK working alone on this? > Leave it to me! Thank you, [name]. I knew I could trust you with this. What could you be pondering for this home, hm? I'd compare notes, but I trust you know what to do. You've done a masterful job, hm? Very welcome news, yes, yes! Timmy: I am forever indebted to Mr. Nook, so I would be happy to meet with you. Soon, soon! Tommy and I have worked hard all our lives. Such toil! We deserve a new house. Sable: Oh! You're calling from Nook's Homes, are you? I suppose that's... good. Did Tom need to speak with me? Of course he didn't. You must be calling about home renovation, right? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to come in and talk to you. Our place could definitely use some help. I've got my claws full of work, but I suppose I'll set that aside for the moment and come in now. You have a lovely office here. I'd like to surprise my sisters with a little home renovation. They'd never expect it from me! Mable and Labelle and I would all benefit from a fresh start. What's better for that than a new house? Phew! I was afraid you were going to say no. Thanks for not saying no, [name]. Redd: Howdy, friend! You've got Crazy Redd on the line, famous for his CRAZY deals! What can I do ya for? What's that? A home appointment? Nah, I'm not pulling that scam until AT LEAST next Tuesday... Wait! You mean this is about MY home? Ol' Redd wasn't expectin' that! OK, let's talk in person. Where are you? Nook's Homes? ...Fine, I'll be there. See ya, cousin! So this is where that raccoon keeps his investments. Heh, I've seen better... Sorry, cousin! Just takin' it all in! (on site) Redd: Hey now! This plot is mighty swell! Bet this place'll be better than that pesky raccoon's sad house... | New Leaf: Prologue: Since you just got here, you don't have a place to live yet, right? You should go to Nook's Homes on Main Street. Tom Nook will find a house for you. You don't know where you're going to live yet, do you? Nook's Homes on Main Street... They can get you started! Huh? You haven't figured out where you're living yet, is that right? Well, hurry up and head to Nook's Homes already. It's just past the station. Can't miss it! You been to Nook's Homes on Main Street yet? You need to find a place to live, and that's the place to go. Have you found a place to live yet? If not, visit Nook's Homes in the shopping district. They can help! You haven't found yourself a place to live yet, have you? Oh, I can tell. You have that look in your eyes that says one thing: "Where am I going to sleep?" Well, trust me. Head across the tracks to our Main Street and go to Nook's Homes. Have you been to Main Street yet,[name]? Timmy and Tommy's store sells a variety of things, ranging from useful tools to furniture. And for all your housing needs, including real estate and exterior, there's Nook's Homes. That's run by Tom Nook, just to let you know. Then for all your clothing needs, like buying or designing clothes and stuff like that: the Able Sisters tailor shop! It's really great for fashionistas like yours truly. Oh, and Labelle at the accessory shop is so mysterious and helpful, not to mention beautiful... Huh? What were we talking about? Oh, well... Ah! Right! There's also Blathers' museum for bugs, fish, art, and even fossils. It's the whole package! Basically, Main Street is great, so you'll never be bored! First thing I thought of when I saw what [name] was living in was... "Tents nowadays are huge!" Or is it just that Nook's tents are top notch? You're all settled in now, aren't you, [name]? Well, now comes the real question. How do you want to decorate? Because whether you're in a tent or a mansion, you have options. Go see Timmy and Tommy on Main Street for all kinds of furniture and other knickknacks. And if you want to upgrade the look of your home — or make it bigger — Nook's Homes is the place to visit. Player that has moved from another town: [name], you haven't decided where to build your house yet, have you? If that's the case, we have to find a plot of land right away! I'm sorry I made you come all this way just to send you back out again... On the other side of the tracks over on Main Street, there's a real-estate office. It's called Nook's Homes. You really can't miss it once you get to Main Street! Nook's Homes is located in the shopping district on the other side of the train tracks. It was like that in your previous town, wasn't it? Thanks for waiting! We've relocated it! Inside and out, it's just as it was before your stressful move. That reminds me! I'll make sure that Happy Home Academy has been updated with your new address. Yes, I must head back to my shop, so I'll say my good-byes for now. [name], you'll be heading back to the town hall after this, hm? Now that you have a place to live, you must take care of your resident registration with Isabelle, oh, yes, yes! Well then, thank you for using Nook's Homes for all your housing needs! I do so appreciate it! Isabelle: “Oh no! This is bad! I can’t believe I completely forgot something so vitally important! In order to register you as a town resident, we need your address for the form! …(your name), do you have a place to live yet? There aren’t any vacant houses here…but you can build one! We really should have you decide where you’re going to live before we proceed! And here I made you come all the way to the town hall for nothing. I apologize for being so flaky! Um, on the other side of the tracks, on Main Street, is Nook’s Homes, the real-estate office… (shows it to you on the map) Some fresh air and exercise would do you good. A trip to Main Street may be just what we both need! It’ll give me a chance to stay here and continue with your registration and you need to find Nook’s Homes. Once you’ve got a place to live, please come back here and let me know right away!” “Ah, hello! Welcome! Welcome! You must be the new mayor, am I right? Isabelle at the town hall told me to expect you! On behalf of the (town name) chamber of commerce, I’m pleased to welcome you! So, (your name)… You’re here today because you want to build a house, yes? Very good! Very good! I can build one just about anywhere you want, yes, I can indeed! So have you decided on where you want to live? [Yep.] Then this won’t take long at all! *laughs* Just take me where you want to build your new home, (your name)!” “Please wait!” “Yes, yes. There’s plenty of space to build a house here! (comments on something that is nearby for example the river, beach, etc.) For example: “And there’s a river nearby. If you like fishing or being in nature, it’s the perfect spot!” We’ll need to move trees, flowers and any buried items in order to start building. But if you’re OK with that, we can start right away! Hold on a moment. Let’s see… It will look something like this… (magically shows you the house xD) So? Does this location suit your needs? Hm? [Yep.] OK! It’s decided then! It will take a bit of time to build your house, so for today, let’s reserve the space for you… There we go! Yes, yes! Wonderful! Ta-da! And with that, this space is officially yours, (your name)! Umm, including the cost of the land, materials, building costs, et cetera… Well, the calculation is complicated, so I can’t come up with it just now. I’ll tell you the total later. Anyway, I’m sure you’re very busy, since you just moved here… Once you’ve taken care of other things, stop by my store again to get the bill, hm? …Ah, but I suppose you still need a place to rest your head, right? Give me just a moment…” “Ta-ta-ta-DA! I’ll let you borrow this tent so you have somewhere to sleep! I’ve also put up a mailbox, so you can even start receiving mail! (It’s a little shabby looking, though…) I bet you rarely see a tent with a mailbox, right? Oh ho ho ho ho! Well, I’ll be returning to my shop, so let’s part ways here. (your name), you need to head back to the town hall, hm? Now that you know where you’ll be living, you have to get registered as a resident, so talk to Isabelle. In the meantime, I’ll work out the numbers. Come by my shop again later. Thanks for your business! I do appreciate it, yes, yes!” “Welcome, welcome! Oh! (your name), yes, yes, welcome! Have you finished everything you needed to do to move in? I have, of course, completed running the numbers on your home loan, (your name), yes, yes. Now let us discuss the cost… You know, (your name), we can’t build you a house unless you have all necessary costs covered, hm? So the down payment is nothing more than a paltry 10.000 Bells. [I can’t afford that.] No,no?! That’s fine! You’re fine! You needn’t worry about giving me a single Bell at this point in time! I’m quite a generous raccoon! My heart is about the size of a four-bedroom, two-bath duplex, hm? That being said…I do need your down payment before any work can be done on your home. OK? But do not worry! No, no! This town is rich in crops and other resources. You’ll find it easy to earn money! You can collect fruit and seashells and take them to the recycling shop to earn quick cash, yes? Once you’ve saved a bit, buying a net or fishing rod at the store is a good idea as well. It is indeed! You can use such tools to go forth and catch insects and fish to sell, too. An easy path to riches, hm? Much faster than searching for low-paying, part-time employment, yes? Oh yes, yes! So come and see me right away when you’ve saved up 10.000 Bells. Good luck, good luck!” “You brought the money? Let’s have a look, hm? Yes! Yes! Exactly 10.000 Bells! That does make me rather happy. Very good, very good! The money makes everything official, and work on your house can begin at once. You can also choose the color of your newly built home’s roof. So what color will it be, hm? (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green) Yes, yes! Got it! I will make sure your house is ready to go by tomorrow morning. What else…to tell you…Oh, yes, yes, of course! I must tell you all about home remodeling! Once your house is finished, I can help you update the exterior! The exterior of your home consists of the things on the outside, such as your roof, door, and fence. Every day I will display new samples here to look through, so you should come when you’ve grown curious. Well, for the moment you must be looking forward to tomorrow, yes? Thanks much!” “(Your name), your house will be all finished in the morning. This is so thrilling, yes?” [name], your addition will be completed in the morning! I daresay you may have trouble sleeping, hm? [name], construction will be completed in the morning! I can hardly wait to see it myself, hm? “Welcome, welcome! Oh my goodness! It’s (your name). So good to see you, hm? Your home has now been built, yes? What do you think? Your house is now the stuff of dreams, hm? And now the numbers…I deducted your down payment, leaving a grand total of… 39.800 Bells. That’s the total amount of your paltry little loan. A mere trifle, really, yes? Hm? Oh, no, you don’t pay me directly. Please make all of your payments at the post office ABD. And there’s no set schedule, either. Pay the loan off at your own pace or whenever you’re able, hm? Yes, yes, one more thing… We do require that all homeowners become members of the Happy Home Academy, hm? They’ll just stop by from time to time and give your home an in-depth inspection. Very good to get one. The inspection is a comprehensive look at your room and furniture layout, your hygiene level, et cetera. If you’re given high marks, you might even receive a wonderfully elegant commemorative prize! They’ll schedule the inspection, so there’s nothing for you to worry about. No worries at all, hm? What else…Members, you see, also gain access to the HH Showcase behind the shopping district. Once you’ve received a letter than confirms your membership, you may visit the showcase at any time! Very good. Please do come see me if you wish to discuss further renovations, hm?” Oh! [name], yes, yes, welcome! Have you finished everything you needed to do to move in? So you would like [item], hm? > Yes, yes! > Hold it! Then I shall ask again, and you shall pick the roof color that sounds good to you, yes, yes! final loan paid: “Oh my goodness! It’s (your name). So good to see you, hm? Thank you much! You’ve paid your home-renovation loan in full, which is no small feat, yes, yes! And you did it so fast…That can only mean you’re a financial wizard! Such a magnificent home and zero debt! Your life in (town name) will surely be stress free, (your name)! I cannot overstate how incredible this accomplishment is! Truly, it is something remarkable, yes, yes! In fact, I believe you deserve a reward of sorts. No, no, no such discounts from me, but, hm… Yes! An old song from the Nook family lineage, sung in times of great success to strengthen hearts! Ahem! GL-L-L-KSK! KEH-KEEEH! FST! FST! RrrrrrrrrrrrKLAGH! CH-CH-ch-ch-mmmMMMmmm! Oh, well, it is very old and in the language of my ancestors, which happens to be Raccoonish, yes, yes.” [blushes] Anyway, your home may be at a state of basic completion, but it is far from being done, hm? I do hope you'll continue to improve your home's interior and exterior, yes, yes! I do! If you're in need of advice, please let Lyle or me know, yes? We'll be quite glad to help you out. In fact, be sure to speak with Lyle right away, as I'm sure he'll want to congratulate you as well. Yes, yes! Your continued patronage of Nook's Homes is very much appreciated. Do come again! Welcome, welcome! Oh my goodness! It's [name]! So good to see you, hm? Construction is now complete, yes? Very good. Let me know if you need anything else, hm? Thanks much for paying your home loan in full! Very good, yes, yes! I always had faith that you would fulfill the terms of our little agreement. Now then, does your home not seem a teensy bit on the wee side? Yes, yes, I have to say, I do feel a slightly larger home would suit you much better, hm? More room for furniture delights! And for gratuitous swinging of elbows too. If you're interested, please let me know at any time, hm? Thanks much for paying off all of your home-renovation loan! Yes, yes, thanks much, indeed! Perhaps you paid it off because you're dissatisfied with your space limitations, hm? No need to worry! No need at all. I can assist with the enlarging of your house! Let's chat about the details when you've got some time on your busy hands, hm? My, you've done it! You home-renovation loan has been paid in full! Thanks much! Yes, yes! And your reason for taking care of your financial obligation is that your home is not big enough, hm? Yes, yes, I understand completely. I can help you build the home of your very large dreams! When you wish to discuss the details further, please come find me! Yes, yes, yes! You've paid off every bit of your home-renovation loan! I'm quite conservative in matters of finance, but I knew you'd take care of this, [name]! My faith was such that I drew up plans for more additions after you added a second floor, [name]! I'm confident you'll be quite pleased with these plans. I do hope you'll give them some thought, hm? Oh, happy day! You've paid off all your home-renovation loan! And your reason for being so very, very diligent is... No need for words. I can see it in your eyes, hm? Yes, I will gladly engage in further renovation discussions. Come see me anytime! Anytime, indeed! Yes, yes! How may I help you? > Down payment! You've brought the money? Ah, we Nooks can sense Bells, yes, yes. Old family secret. Now let's just..., hm? But, but, [name]! You do not have enough! Not nearly! I need the full 10,000-Bell down payment in one lump sum, yes? Living in a tent cannot be terribly comfortable, no, no. Wouldn't you prefer a nice warm house, hm? > Never mind. Hm? That so? No problem! When you've got your down payment, please do bring it to me here, yes! Very good! Though, we can't break ground on your home until your down payment is received, hm? (talking to Nook while visiting other town) I'm so sorry! I don't have the right permits to work on homes in towns other than this one. However, if there are any items here you would like, please let me know, yes? I can contact the realtor in your town and request a single item at a time be made available there too! Your request will be made available to you right away. I only have to make a few quick phone calls, hm? When you arrive home, be sure to visit your realtor before it closes for the day, hm? Understood. I'll arrange for the item to be available in your town's real- estate office when you return home. Once you arrive, please do stop by your realtor before they close for the day, hm? Hm. [item]. But you do not live in this town, so I cannot accept your order, no. I can contact the realtor in your town and arrange for the item to be available there. What do you think? Yes, [item]. But I can only contact your town about a single item at a time. I can, however, make a request that this item replace the item we talked about earlier. What do you think? > Yes, please! Very good! I will cancel your prior request and see to it that this item is sent to your realtor instead! > No, thank you. Very well, I understand. Please do not hesitate to tell me if there's anything you wish to request. (expanding home dialogue) Yes, yes! You would like to discuss your home, hm? > I wanna expand! I am truly very sorry, but until your existing loan is paid in full I can accept no new renovation requests. You can pay your loan 24 hours a day at the Bellpoint in the post office. Once it's all paid off, come talk to me again, hm? > Never mind. Oh, really? If you have any housing questions, do come see me at any time, hm? Hmm... [name]? It is time to make your home bigger, yes, yes. A loan of [amount] Bells can make this dream a reality. Ready, hm? > Let's do it! > No, thanks. I've been thinking... You know, your home would be better if it were just a bit bigger, yes, yes. For a piddling [amount] Bells, I can make such a thing happen. Hm? Well... listen, [name], I believe your home would be oh so cozy if it had a second floor. A smallish loan of [amount] Bells would be required of course. Hm? Hmm..., [name], wouldn't your house benefit greatly from an addition of some sort? In my own expert opinion, I would suggest the following... What do you think, hm? Let's see, [name], your home would be improved much with just a bit more space, yes, yes. And if you decided to expand, may I suggest... Hmm... I must say, [name], your home needs more space or perhaps maybe an extra room, hm? I could of course help with whatever you'd like to do. What do you think? > Extra room! > More space! > No, thanks. Yes, yes! So tell me, where do you want the additional room, hm? Excellent! So tell me, which room shall we make larger, hm? The new room will be added to the left/right/back side of the first floor, hm? Yes, yes, a basement is what you want, hm? You want to widen the basement, do you, hm? You want to widen the room on the left/right/back side of the first floor, hm? You want to widen the room on the second floor, hm? Your loan will come to a total of [amount] Bells. This is perfectly acceptable, yes? > Let's do it! > Um, never mind. Excellent! I will put your order in right away, hm? The work will be fully completed by tomorrow morning. I'm so sure you must be very excited, yes, yes! (exterior design dialogue) How do you like your current living arrangements? I'm always here for exterior-renovation consultation! I'm terribly sorry, [name], but your house cannot be made any larger. It's simply not possible. However, there are changes you can make to the exterior. I recommend you consider your options, hm? I'm very sorry, but I do not offer loans for exterior renovations, hm? But, [name]! Compared to your previous home loans, the price is nothing but a drop in the bucket! Your home has now been updated, has it not? Yes, yes, I believe that it looks quite different. I think you will feel like you are living a brand-new life! (renovations completed dialogues) Your renovations are complete, yes? It may be but a small change, but I trust you are pleased, hm? Your house is much roomier, yes? I hope you find it adds to your quality of life, my friend! Yes, yes! Your home is now a magnificent two stories high, hm? With an additional floor, you have much space to fill, and I'm sure it will bring you joy to fill it, yes, yes! Your addition is finished, hm? Oh, [name], my friend, your home is so much more homey now. Yes, yes! Did you look around your house? I daresay you'll not find many that equal such fine workmanship, hm? So... it's time for business numbers. Yes, yes, the trifling cost of your addition comes to [amount] Bells. Pocket change, really. No, no! I can't accept your money here! Please make your payments at the Post Office Bellpoint, hm? Much thanks in advance, hm? And, [name], by the way — your house is as large as we can make it. We cannot build it any larger. I trust this new information is all perfectly clear, hm? Thanks much! (purchasing exterior renovations) That [item] is a special sample used for exterior renovations. However, [name], as you are preparing to do some construction, you may purchase it afterward. That [item] is an exclusive sample used for exterior renovations, yes? But your house is not yet finished, [name].You may purchase it once construction is done, hm? That [item] is a sample used for door/roof renovations. That [item] is a sample used for exterior renovations. If you make the order, we can then renovate your house, just like the model shows! Yes, yes! By the way, things like the color of your home's roof or siding will not be changed in the renovation. That sort of thing requires more work, and we're not a charity! That [item] is an excellent sample used for exterior aesthetic changes, hm? Make your house bigger, [name], and then we can make large-scale renovations as well! Yes, yes! That [item] is a sample used when replacing your mailbox, yes? That [item] is a sample used when doing work on your fence, yes? That [item] is a sample used for renovating your exterior walls, hm? That [item] is a sample used for renovating your paving stones, hm? That [item] is a sample used for exterior renovations, yes? This is but one way owners of large homes can change their style in just a snap! [item]? If memory serves, [name], you have the same door/roof on your house. Oh, [item]? If memory serves, [name], your house has the same exterior. Ah, [item]? If memory serves, [name], your mailbox is identical to this one. [item], hm? If memory serves, [name], you have the same fence at your house. [item], yes, yes? If memory serves, [name], your paving stones are identical to these. The cost is [amount] Bells. Would you perchance be interested, hm? > I'll buy! > No, thanks. I see... No worries, no worries. Still plenty left to look at, hm? Thanks much! Um... Hm? But you... you don't have enough money, no, no! As I said, I do not make loans for exterior renovations. You clearly understand this, yes? Thanks much! I will help make all of the necessary arrangements, and... everything will be completed tomorrow! Exciting! Oh, that's right. You were busy with your shopping, were you not? [name], that happens to be the same part that you have currently placed a construction order for! There is no changing or canceling construction orders! No, no! If you want to place another order for that same part, I am sorry, but you will have to do it another day! Ah, the [item] here will be used in your house remodel scheduled for tomorrow. The remodel should be done by tomorrow morning, so look forward to it, yes, yes! | “Life is no bed of roses. It’s filled with all manners of thorny issues.” | From the City Folk Game Guide: "A kind raccoon with a heart of gold (well, pockets of gold even though he only owns a shop, if ya know what I mean), Tom Nook helps you get started when you first move to town by loaning you a home to live in.

The other day, Harriet came up to me and said… “Nook, I bet you’d look absolutely scrumptious in a petriperm!” Well, [name]? …What do you think? A “petriperm”??? [select No idea.] I have no idea either, hm? When she asked me, I got panicky and said… “Oh, yes, yes, a petriperm. I had those all the time when I was younger!” …Yes, yes, a blatant lie. I acted like I knew what it was, yes? Harriet just laughed… Petriperm! Petriperm… What in the world could that mean, hm? Ugh… Thinking about this is sure to steal sleep from me tonight!“ | „[name], I’d like to apologize for acting so self-important days ago… I think I may have eaten something that disagreed with me, yes? [select Not to worry!] …Yes, yes, [name]… I already mentioned to you that I’d spent some of my youth in the city, yes? To be honest, there’s a bitter memory that I have of that time… I haven’t quite come to terms with it, you see… May I tell you about it? [select Sure.] Yes, yes, thanks much! You see, I had visions of success in the big city… Such visions led me from [town] and into the cold arms of the city.

And soon, it was one error after another for me… Yes, yes, I lost everything I gathered my few meager possessions and slunk home. Yes, city life was rough… Savage and wild… But all was not dire, hm?

It can be quite rewarding, yes, yes.” “Why, I’ve personally donated over 90 percent of my earned Bells to an orphanage three towns over. Ah, but we keep this between us. I have a reputation to uphold, hm?” | Happy Home Paradise: Lottie arrives at the airport to recruit you for Paradise Planning: ...My phone is ringing. Tom: Hello? [name]? This is Tom Nook! Yes, yes! Are you busy? I have a visitor here that I'd love to introduce you to. Sorry to barge in on your day, but would you please come to the airport so you can meet her? Tom: Ah, [name]! You're here! Lottie, allow me to introduce you to [name]. Lottie: Oh, hello! I'm Lottie! I used to work with Mr. Nook a long time ago. Before this big island venture he started! Tom: Yes, yes... she's quite talented. Lottie can handle anything from interior design to building layouts. And now she runs her very own vacation-home company! And skillfully! Lottie: Well, I did have a very good teacher. It's really coming along though. We just got our new office set up, so we're finally ready to start taking orders for custom vacation homes. Right now we need another team member - a go-getter with vision and insight into our clients' needs. When I told Mr. Nook what I was looking for, he said he knew exactly who to ask. And here we are! Tom: In other words... she needs your help, [name]! When she came to me, you were the first one I thought of. After all, you've done such a lovely job with your own home. Surely you could do the same for others! I'll leave it to you and Lottie, of course, but my instinct has rarely steered me wrong. Yes, yes! Lottie: Mr. Nook is quite a reference! If you want to join us, I won't say no! We're close by, so your commute would be a breeze, and I offer a competitive salary. What do you think? Are you interested, [name]? > I'm not sure... Tom Nook: I think designing vacation homes would be an excellent opportunity for you, [name]. Lottie: We could start this small-scale. Just for you see how you would like the position. We would definitely be more than happy to have you. The others are already waiting excitedly! > I'll do it! Fantastic! That's wonderful! I'll need to get a few things ready before you join or team, so I'll go on ahead. I'll see you there! Tom: You certainly made her day, hm? This airport has a flight standing by for whenever you're ready to meet up with Lottie. Just tell the staff at the front desk, "I want to go to work." Well then, I'll leave you be! Take care, [name]! Orville: Oh, it's you, [name]! President Nook told me you're working at Miss Lottie's place, [name]! Exciting! Building a vacation home for Tom Nook: Hello, this is Tom Nook speaking! Who do I have the pleasure with? Hm? Oh, [name]! Hello, hello! How are you? Can I help you with something? Oh? You? Help me?! Ah, a vacation home, yes? I see. That is really kind of you, but I've got to say that my schedule doesn't allow for such frivolities. I am a CEO after all; indispensable in daily business, my paws always bus-- Pardon me? Oho! You'll handle the planning and design? Well, that is an entirely different tale! I'd love to go over the particulars with you. Yes, yes! I'll book the next flight out. See you soon! Tom: Hello, hello! I have to admit I've really been looking forward to this. Let's get started, hm? Oho! It's nice to be the customer for a change. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Yes, yes! The first rule in real estate is always location, location, location! And what a location that is! (answers the question whether he wants one or two floors) Oho! I wasn't prepared for this. You and I know each other quite well by now. What do you think, hm? A vacation home I can grow into sounds like the way to go. Yes, yes! Two stories it is! Lottie: Now, Tom Nook, we found a good location and settled on the floor plan, so it's time to head out! [name], please lead Tom Nook to the site, and best of luck. Tom: So this is my vacation home, hm? Yes, yes, it's so pleasing to the eye. This will do nicely! Very well, you're in charge of the show now, [name]! Work your magic. Tom: Oho, hello there! How are you? And how is my vacation home? Is it ready for me yet? (> I'm still working on it.) Yes, yes, not a problem at all! Take all the time you need! (> It's ready!) Oho! The moment I've been waiting for. Yes, yes! You're spending quite a lot of time on my behalf. I find that pleasing, right to the core! One moment, please... I was wondering if you had a name for your decorating style here. (You can enter a name.) That's quite a name! Yes, let's call it [concept name]. Yes, yes. What a delightful vacation home! And I owe it all to you! Thank you, thank you, [name]! So what's next on the agenda, hm? (> May I take photos?) Of course! Of course! Please do whatever makes you happy, hm? You don't need me to tell you how amazing your work is. Now then, is there anything I can do for you? (> I'm all good!) Oho, good, good! Then feel free to take a seat since you're a guest here. (> I'm heading back.) Oho! On your way out, hm? Take care, and don't forget to visit. > How is your house? Ah, my vacation home? What is it, hm? (canceling the dialogue) Oho? Did the question slip your mind? Ah, that happens to the best of us. Should it slip back into your mind, just return to me! > Just wanted to say Hello! How very courteous of you! You really do understand good service, [name]. > I'm heading back. Ah, oho! Well, take care and do return soon, hm? Have a safe trip! (rebuilding his vacation home) This is important to you, I can see that, yes, yes. Then I'm all in for it! (changing your mind) What now? You'd rather not? Well, there are many days to come, maybe another time! Oho! So zealous! With that much enthusiasm nothing can go wrong! Hm? Is it done already? Always great to see a pro at work. And this is express service! Splendid! Oh! A small question... The name for this concept remains [concept name], yes? Alright! Then things will stay as they were, hm? It's easier to remember, ho ho! Oh, yes, yes, I know how much you've got on your plate! Then take care and do come visit again! > Roommate! You mean... me sharing my vacation home with someone? Hmmmm.... I have to explain to you that life as the leader of a trade business is not necessarily a breeze. And with all that stress a shared home equals a non-relaxing home. So in conclusion my answer is "Yes, yes"... And by that I mean "No, no." > Moving! Hm? Moving my vacation home? Without ceremony? Although, I have to say your intuition never failed me. So... Of course! Your services are truly worth every Bell, [name]. Then let's get moving! Lottie: So you wish to move your vacation home to a different location? How exciting! I'm sure we can do that! Tom: Yes, yes! So I can once again count on your skilled hands, hm? Lottie: Well, Tom Nook, we have found a beautiful plot for you, you should have a look right away! [name], can you show him? Good luck! Tom: Oho! Fantastic! A wonderful place! Well, well! I know how much work you've got in front of you. Don't let me keep you, hm? Splendid, splendid! So the new name will be [concept name]! Tom Nook visiting Paradise Planning: Lottie: Oh, you're back! Thanks for your work, [name]! Tom: Hello, hello, [name]! Lottie caught me up on everything happening here, yes, yes. You've been working hard creating lots of vacation homes, hm? (> It's nothing special.) Lottie: [name] is so helpful. Oh, if only they could live here and work for me full-time... Tom: I think that would be a problem... After all [island name] depends on [name]! Lottie: Oh, I'm just JOKING! Tom: Oho! Good one. In any case, I'm glad to see that things are going so smoothly here. Are you having issues with anything, Lottie? I'm willing to help with whatever I can, yes, yes! Lottie: Well, let's see... We do have a decent selection of furniture for our clients to decorate their homes... But we could always stand to have more! I'm just not sure where to source a wider variety of options... Tom: If that's the case, I think I could help you out there, yes, yes! I'll make arrangements so you can order any of the products from Nook Shopping for your vacation homes! Lottie: Really? You'd do that for us? Oh, I would be forever in your debt! Tom: It's no problem at all. Now, I believe [name] is rather familiar with our products... So if you have any questions at all, I hope you can rely on them for guidance. Yes, yes! Lottie: Thank you so much, Mr. Nook! Tom: Don't mention it. I'm always happy to help, so please let me know if anything else comes up. Now then, I must be going. Take care... and good luck! Lottie: Wow. A visit from Mr. Nook himself... I was totally caught off guard, but I think it all worked out OK! Speaking of Mr. Nook, it's payday for you, [name]! Dear [name]! We have received this little "Thank you"-gift from Tom Nook for our hard work. I think you should have it. You deserve it! All the best, Lottie (The present is: Nigirizushi) DLC ending: ...My phone is ringing. Tom: Hello? [name]? This is Tom Nook! I just got off the phone with Lottie. It sounds like that big music festival Paradise Planning sponsored went off without a hitch, hm? I'm so happy for everyone there. Of course, I was rooting for all of you all the way! Yes, yes! Oh, and she also said that you, in particular, were invaluable in getting it off the ground. Well done! Anyhow, I have a bold idea I'd like to run past an established professional designer like yourself. It's easier to explain face-to-face though. Do you think you could stop by Resident Services? Whenever you have time, that is. I know you're busy. (You visit Resident Services.) Hello, hello! Thank you so much for coming, [name]. The reason I called earlier is that I had an idea I wanted to run by you regarding everyone's homes. Perhaps it's because I've been dropping hints here and there, but... Word of what you've been doing for Paradise Planning has spread, and it's started everyone talking. Inquiries from folks who would like you to remodel their homes have started flying in! Quite a few, in fact. So after some careful consideration, I'd like to begin offering a home-design consulting service here. What this means for you is that whenever you have an idea for remodeling a resident's home you would have a point of contact... Namely me! With Nook Inc. we can make it a reality in a heartbeat. Yes yes! Of course, there will be a fee to get the ball rolling, but I'll give you some miles for each design we finish. Everyone on the island is thrilled about your designs, so there's no need to hide your light! Whenever a home idea comes to mind, I'll be here to coordinate everything! Yes, yes, that's my big idea. Anyway, thank you for hearing me out. (> Let's talk homes.) Of course, of course! Let's talk about them! We can discuss your own home perhaps. Or suggest designs to one of our other residents. Which will it be? (> About my home...) Ah, that reminds me! I offer full exterior redesigns now! Yes, yes! Unlike simply changing your roof or a wall, a completely fresh design can grant your home an entirely new flair! Sounds exciting, hm? Perhaps it's just right for you! So... We can alter the exterior of your home free of charge! If you make the order now, everything will be ready for you by tomorrow morning. Are you interested? (Yes.) Splendid! Then let me show you our catalogue and you can pick what you like best! (> A resident's home.) Oho! You'd like to pitch some new home designs to a resident? We can certainly arrange that. To get started, I'll need 9,000 Bells up front. That's a lot, so I'll give you some miles once the work is done. What do you say, hm? Are you ready to brainstorm some ideas? (> Yep!) Fantastic! Then let's not waste any time. Who is it in particular that you would you like to talk to about redesigning their home? [Villager], hm? Alright. Then let's call him/her and get his/her thoughts on the matter. (The neighbor you picked joins you.) Tom: ...And that about covers it. What do you think? Are you OK entrusting [name] with your home? Neighbor: Yes, of course that's OK! Better than OK! Ohmigosh! Renovations! I'm so super excited, [catchphrase]! Tom: Oho! Glad to hear it. Your house is in good hands. Leave everything to [name] and me. Yes, yes! Now that everyone's on board, I just need to collect the 9,000 Bell fee, and we'll start! Now then, did you want to start with the home's interior or its exterior? (> Interior.) Got it! We'll work on the interior. I'd like you to imagine [villager]'s home... Once it's clear in your mind, I want you to describe all the ideas you have for its interior. Alright! Let's go down to business. Tell me what you have in mind for [villager]'s home. Just work through your idea exactly like how you would for Lottie. There is one limitation though... We can't change the size of any rooms. Otherwise, anything goes! Let me know when you're done or if you'd like to work on remodeling the home's exterior. Splendid! I took note of your plans for the home's exterior - down to the last detail! Keep plugging away at that interior design. Yes, yes. I'm eager to see how it'll all come together! Great! We'll go forward with these remodel plans then. Yes, yes! Very well done! Thanks again for all your hard work, [name]. I know it for sure! Know that [villager] will love your ideas! You've done your part - now it's time for me to do mine. I'll snatch [villager] so we can start right away! | (If you decline his offer to expand your home): Yes, I heard you've repaid all of your home loan. Very prompt of you, yes! I knew I could trust you to pay it all off, [name]. But that reminds me... Isn't your current house just a tad cramped? We could build you a larger home. It could hold much more furniture, yes? So? What do you say? > Smaller is cozier! Oh, [name]! Always the joker, hm? I know a young up-and-comer like you, [name]... You couldn't possibly be satisfied with a house that small. Not likely! So, the roof on your new, bigger... What color should it be? (choose color) All right. (Color) it is. I'll mark that on the plans. Well, I plan to be finished with your rebuild tomorrow! I bet you can't wait, hm? | |||||||||||||||||||||

A “petriperm” is… …simply a shortened version of the term “petrified perm”! [select Ah ha ha ha!] It’s no laughing matter, hm? Do you even know what a petrified perm is? They take a very skinny curling iron and give you very tight curls, yes? The curls are firm as rock! Why, if I did that, I’d look like a circus clown! I’d be the laughing stock of town, hm? They’d ask where my red nose was! Ugh… How mortifying, hm? The very thought makes me feel such humiliation… That Harriet… She probably knew I’d feel this way. That must be why she was laughing, hm? Ugh! I swear, I will never again play the fool for some big-city girl!“ | „…Yes, yes, well… I told you about how I lost my dream in the cold heart of the big city, yes? Well, I should admit that in point of fact, that dream still exists… [select Really?] Yes, yes, it lives on, but I know better now… You can’t live off of dreams alone, hm? In the end, what really matters is money… I know it’s depressing, but it’s the truth. [select Uh…] Oh, I’m so very sorry! I started getting carried away, there, hm? I should know that a youth like you doesn’t want to hear about MY youth… Yes, yes, I’m not going to talk about it anymore!

[select Uh, maybe?] Are you trying to confuse me? Does it please you to taunt me, hm? I’m most certainly not trying to imitate those young hipsters, you know! Yes, yes, I see how it is. Your eyes betray your thoughts, [name]. These clothes just don’t suit me…“ | visiting his vacation home in Happy Home Paradise: Niko: This is Tom Nook's vacation home. Tom: Hello, good day! Is there anything I can do for you? > How are you? A long time ago, there's just been me and my little shop. And back in the day, I didn't have much. Nothing, to be exact. Apart from ambition, the will to work, and a neatly ironed apron. One time, autumn was so hard that I caught a terrible cold and couldn't work. And that's precisely when I realized something incredibly important... There are no riches to make if you are not healthy. Yes, yes. Take good care of yourself, [name]! It's is so very essential. No matter how much you are friends with your work, a small break makes it better. And breaks are for free here! Yes, yes, here! I'm always happy when you stop by. I like to walk a few steps outside to be alone with my thoughts. It's astonishing how many good ideas that brings! This house truly is a blessing to me. Like so many things since I know you! | Buying from you: “I guess one person’s junk is another critters treasure.” | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | “…Remember the other day, [name], when you said my clothes were ugly, hm? …I was reminded of it when Mabel said the exact same thing to me… [select Thought so!] That Mabel! Such insolence! "Tom Nook! You should really try to dress more hip!“ "I bet my sister would totally tailor a suit for you for free!” …She was holding forth on subjects she clearly knows nothing about, hm? Yes, yes, her conduct just goes to show that Mabel is still a child. At her age, she shouldn’t be expected to understand a man’s aesthetics, yes? It’s no slight against the girl, I assure you. It’s just the way of things, hm?“ | About your loans: “Pocket change, really.” | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | “…Well, a customer told me today that my clothes are too old-fashioned, hm? She looked me square in the face when she said it, as well! Unbelievable, yes? It was a bit of a shock, actually… [select Was she mean?] Yes, yes, she was, at that! Why, back when I lived in the city… I was known as the famous "Off-the-Hook Nook”! [select Why?] Oh, some sort of slang, hm? The point is, looks are part of business, [name]… A businessman should never stand out more than his customers, yes? His mannerisms, his clothes, everything about him… Moderation is the key, hm? Besides, looking a bit outdated also puts older customers’ minds at ease!“ | “Of course…I did enjoy receiving all those payments… So I encourage you to take on another project!” | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | “You know when I was younger, I was quite the runner. I ran everywhere, believe it or not.” | Selling your town to him in New Leaf: Isabelle: "Now, I don't want to be too presumptuous, but there's someone that I think you should see... Mr. Nooook!" "Oh, (name)! Hello, hello! Let me guess. You're thinking about rebuilding (town), yes? Yes, yes. It's quite understandable. Sometimes a fresh start is just what's called for. And I am delighted to be able to offer you a unique opportunity. I will purchase (town) from you! I think this arrangement would be mutually beneficial, yes? You start over with new names and faces...and a hefty sack of Bells to put toward the rebuilding effort. It's effectively the same as choosing the "Re-create the town" option, only with more Bells for you! Yes, yes, very good. I'm glad to see you're thinking with your wallet! Now, if you like, I can go ahead and give your town a thorough appraisal. That way, you'll know exactly what you'll get if you decide to sell. And you can still change your mind if you aren't happy with the results. Well, what do you say, hm?" (More info,please.) "Yes, of course. I know this is a big decision, so I'm happy to provide as much info as possible! So if you decide to sell (town), here's exactly what will happen. First, the town will be gone forever. You won't be able to visit it again. All public works and improvements to your home will be gone. Your fellow villagers will all relocate, so you won't have the same relationships with them. It's important to think about this as a completely fresh start. You'll even have a new name and face! Even if you choose the same name and face that you had before, you'll be a new person with new friends. All records of bugs, fish, fossils, letters, custom designs, and everything else will be reset. Even your best-friend data will be deleted, so be careful! Upon completion of the sale, the proceeds will be deposited in your name in your new town's ABD. (Automatic Bell Dispenser) If you opt to not sell your catalog, you'll be able to reorder from it when the convenience store opens. If you do sell your catalog, then everything will be reset. Except the proceeds from your sale, of course! Well, I think that about sums it up! So what are you thinking? Remember, you can still back out after I assess your town's value. Are you still interested?" (Appraise my town!) "Very well! I'll get started right away. Let's see what (town) is worth, shall we? Yowza! Pardon me, that was out of character. Let me just compose myself... Yes, yes. Congratulations on building a rather profitable little town. Well done indeed! Now, there's the small matter of your shopping catalog. If you'd like, I'd be willing to buy your town's catalog along with the town itself. If you'd like to sell your catalog, I could add an extra (...) Bells to the final sale price. Of course, selling your catalog means you'll start out with a blank catalog in your new town. So you won't be able to simply reorder all of the same items you had before. So what'll it be? Will you be selling your catalog as well?" (Don't sell catalog.) "Very well! Selling your town only will result in a total of (...) Bells at closing. Now, there's just one last thing to discuss. The small matter of your payment! Oh ho...*laughing* You can elect to receive the proceeds as a lump sum or a series of installments. If you choose lump sum, all (...) Bells will be transferred to your ABD at once! If you'd rather receive installments, the proceeds will be divided into 100 equal payments. And with your money sitting safely in escrow, you'll also receive 10% interest on the balance. So for the first 100 days in your new town, you'll receive (...) Bells each day. That adds up to a total of (...) Bells when all is said and done. So would you prefer a lump sum or a series of installments? Hm?" (Lump sum.) "Very well, then! Let's just go over everything one more time. This is your last chance to back out! Will you sell me your town (and catalog) for a total of (...) Bells, payable by lump sum/ in exchange for 100 payments of (...) Bells each?" >> Wait a moment... "OK, no problem! I want you to be completely happy with your decision, hm? So have you decided you don't want to sell your town after all? Or is it something else?" >> Cancel sale. "Ah, I see, I see. Well, that's understandable. Sometimes the memories just come flooding back, don't they? Well, come see me again if you ever change your mind, hm?" >> Sell! "And...that's that! The sale of your town is now complete. Fastest closing in the business, guaranteed! An installment of (...) Bells has already been wired to the ABD in your new town's post office. Now, there's just one last thing... I've invited an old friend to see you off as you start your new life..." (It's Resetti.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I only hope you're not here in housing-related business, hm?" "You know...maybe it's time I finally go through with it and just buy the Happy Home Academy... Eep! You didn't hear that! I didn't say it! Nobody was here and nothing just happened!" "All of this relaxing is quite nice. Yes, yes. But I should probably make time for some exercise, hm? Perhaps a light constitutional? And while I'm walking, I might as well carry my golf clubs, just in case..." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Good evening, [name]! Are you taking a break too? A quick pick-me-up like this is the best way to keep my work in tip-top shape! See you around, hm? I'm on a short break, so I left Isabelle in charge of Resident Services. It's important not to overwork yourself! I've never had a bad cup of coffee from Brewster. It's always excellent. | amiibo festival: My client was positively surprised about the size of her new room, so was I! Yes, yes! My old apprentices asked me to present a business seminar! They learned together, and everyone is richer for it. A friend brought me a potential customer today, but I didn't have any good properties for sale. I hope I didn't embarass my friend. I handed over the keys to a new house, and my client couldn't have been happier. I even got a special thank-you gift out of the deal! I invited a friend to dinner - a friend who always introduces potential customers to me. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I excavated some land I bought, and I found a bunch of fossils. It delayed construction, but I made money, so it all worked out. I just accepted a job request from a client who wants to renovate a home - sold by me! Yes, yes, happy customers are returning customers! I've visited different plots with a customer but none of them was spacious enough to build a home.
