Basil (SoSFoMT)/Quotes

Greetings

 * First Meeting: Greetings! You a sightseer? Nature's bounty is abundant here—quite unlike the lifeless air of large cities—so I'm sure you'll love it here. Hm? Me? Oh, that's right. Introductions. I'm Basil. As an enthusiast of all things botanical. I study the plants here in Mineral Town. Nice to meet you.
 * Evening: "Hi, [Player]. Are you done working? Now, now. Moderation is key. If you don't pace yourself, you'll be on the road to burnout before you know it."

General Dialogue

 * Mountain: "Today's my favorite day of the week, bar none! They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life, but now that I'm DOING it...I only have time to be outdoors one day a week. Oh cruel, cruel world..."
 * "Mother's Hill is home to a considerable variety of plants. Incidentally, that biological diversity is precisely why we came to this town."
 * "There are many plants that only grow here in this town."
 * "I'm glad that my Library is useful to the townspeople. It really helps that Marie is taking charge of it. That way, I can focus on my research without distractions."
 * "Are you raising crops or flowers? I'd love to have a field like you do, [Player]! I'm so busy writing that I don't have the time to go out and study plants at the moment. Ironic, isn't it?"
 * "What kinds of plants are you cultivating in your field, [Player]? I'd like to see them sometime."
 * "Plants need an appropriate amount of water and fertilizer. Tend to them once a day, and you'll be in botanical business. Don't let the poor things go thirsty, hm?"
 * "Mineral Town has wonderfully clean air, encouraging healthy plant growth and making delicious ingredients in turn!"
 * At Inn (Low Friendship): "The people in this town sure know how to prepare a tasty, satisfying beverage! That's why I'm always so spry."
 * At Inn (High Friendship): "Marie seems interested in plants herself, but I wish she'd approach things with a little more.... pizazz. If only she were as passionate as you are."
 * "Are you much of a gourmet, [player]? Marie won't so much as touch her plate if someone else is watching. She hardly eats in the first place, honestly."
 * When teaching a recipe: "Oh, that's right. Do you grow any fruit on your farm? I'll teach you how to make a Fruit Smoothie, so get your pen and paper ready. All you need is Fruit Juice and Milk! You simply put those two in a Mixer, and voila: Fruit Smoothie. Huh? You want to know how to make Fruit Juice? I'm afraid that's beyond the realm of my expertise."

Gifts

 * Loved: "Hey, thanks. You know exactly what I like."
 * Liked: "Thanks. Everyone in this town is so kind."
 * Birthday Gift: "Wow, thanks! I don't know what to say. Who told you it was my birthday?"
 * "My, my! You already gave me a gift today, though, so I think I'll just accept the thought this time. Thank you."

Festivals
Moo-Moo Festival:
 * Few days before festival: "Ah, by the way, isn't the Moo-Moo Festival coming up? I'm sure we'll have some udder-ly spectacular participants this year! Haha!"
 * Day before festival: "I wonder, [Player]! Will you be entering your best bovine in this year's Moo-Moo Festival?"
 * During festival (before judging): "There, there. Good girl. Ah ha ha ha. I love nature."
 * During festival (after judging): "Ha ha ha ha! It licked my whole face. I'm all slimy now."

Year End
 * End of year: "Yet another year, come and gone... Let's celebrate it with plenty of soba noodles tomorrow!"
