Ah! That reminds me! Brewster! When I leave, can I have three cups

of coffee to go?

> Coo. They a treat for someone...?

Yes, yes!

I thought I'd take a gift over to

the three sisters at the tailor shop!

Speaking of which...

The middle one, Label, is finally

back after a long time of being away from her sisters.

It warms my heart!

And you can really tell she has great style from her time working in

a top-brand boutique.

The suit I wear these days is actually a Labelle original!

 

...Well, I've been seriously considering a new business prospect lately, hm?

But the one who would be my partner is reluctant to agree, unfortunately.

If it goes well here, I know it will be a hit in the big city too, yes?

[select What is it?]

Yes, yes, it's novel!  It's...a select shop that carries clothes and sundries!

The shop would have a very distinct flavor and a stock of only items I like,

   hm?

I've been exchanging letters with a friend who I knew when I lived in the

   city...

She's been sending me all kinds of incredibly valuable information, yes?

She said that shops of this sort are booming...even in the big city!

But while I'd be able to supply the sundries...I still need the clothes.

Ah well, I guess I'll have to go talk to the sisters again tomorrow, hm?”

 

“Hm?!  Ah, yes, of course...  Are you talking about the select shop of mine?

Well, I've given up on that!  I've given up on that wholeheartedly, yes?

[select Why?]

I talked to Sable from the tailor shop, and she convinced me...

"Tom Nook...  Are you sure this shop will catch on?" she said.

And with those words...  I snapped out of it...

Yes, yes, I'm sure I seemed a little wild-eyed and reckless lately, hm?

I was very fortunate to have level-headed Sable there to set me straight...

What do I know about clothes and the big city?

Sable works hard every day, with her eye on one simple goal.  Commendable, hm?

[select Exactly!]

I'm glad you agree, hm?  I've got to keep my eyes on the prize, too!

Yesterday, I took those letters from the city and tore them all to shreds!

I truly have to say...  Hmmmmmph...

Sable is always the voice of reason, there to snap me back into reality...

We've been friends for a long time, but her wisdom occasionally frustrates me.”

 

“Yes, yes, [name]...  I've already shared much with you already, hm?

At this point, I'd thank you much if you could hear me out to the end, yes?

[select Lay it on me!]

Yes, my big-city dreams shattered in its heartless streets, so I returned, hm?

Once back in [town], there was a period where I did absolutely nothing...

When I left, I was bragging to everyone about what a success I was going to

   be...

And then I returned without a thing, my tail between my legs...

I was so depressed that even the kind words of my friends hurt me, hm?

When they tried to console me, I would push them away and even yell at them!

Appalling.  When I think of my behavior, I'm mortified by the way I acted...

[select Take it easy.]

...No, I was wrong, and I got worse.  I had a friend who was my biggest

   supporter...

We grew up together, hm?  She wasn't what you would call a verbose girl, but...

She was the first to tell me that I could never give up on my dreams.

But I...  One day I...  I turned to her and said these words:

"Dreams are nothing in the face of money!"

She turned her back on me.  From that day on, we were never the same again, hm?

The strange thing is, her words of encouragement...are still with me today.“

 

From the Labelle Episode:

“Hm…What to do…

I can’t believe I saw her over there…

Do Sable and Mabel know about this…?

You know, the OTHER Able sister…

Erp…HWAAH! (your name)!

What the—

What in blazes?!

Don’t startle me like that!

Walking in on people when they’re busily talking to themselves is a horrible thing to do, hm?

Just pretend you didn’t hear any of that!

(Whatever.)

…That’s not so polite…

Hm…I guess there’s nothing to do about it now that you’ve heard, yes?

But at the very least, just promise that you won’t tell anyone what I was saying!

And when I say “anyone,” I mean especially SOME people, hm?

Like the girls at the tailor shop.

Don’t breathe a word of this to them!

Now, enough of that, hm?

I can’t blab on all day to you! I have work that needs to get done!”

 

Mabel tells the player about a faraway relative who sends her money.

“Well, a faraway relative has been worried about me and constantly sends me little gifts of money.

And I know this relative isn’t rich or anything, so I usually refuse it.”

When the player tells Mabel that they know the relative is a sibling, Mabel can tell that Tom Nook told them.

“…Ohh, I know. It must have been Tom Nook…

I can’t think of any other way you would have known.

Between me and my older sister Sable, I have another sister.

Her name is Label/Labelle.” (Label was her old name)

 

The player is given the option to tell Tom Nook that Mabel knows about Labelle.

“I have to tell you, I regret telling you all that stuff earlier, (your name).

The rumor mill has likely spread the news all the way to Mabel by now…

(She knows.)

Tom Nook tells the player that the sisters were close until Labelle and Sable got into a fight after their parent’s death.

“Ah…I suspected that.

And here I thought I could hide from the rumors…

You see, because of certain circumstances, Labelle broke off ties with her two sisters, yes?

Those three sisters were very close while their parents were still alive…

But after their parents passed, Labelle got in a huge fight with Sable.

…And then she left home.

After that, Sable grew very depressed and didn’t speak for weeks.

Little Mabel was still too young to realize what had happened, the poor thing.

We heard rumors that Labelle had gone to the city with hopes of becoming a designer…

But I never expected to find her where I did…

(Where?)

Oh no, I can’t tell you any more than I already have!

If I tell you, (your name), I know you’ll try and go meet her! I just know it!

So please let it lie!

I don’t know anything and you can’t make me talk, hm?

I’ve been blabbing on too long anyhow!

Time to get back to work, yes?”

 

“Oh! (name)

OK. Let's talk. Been to the Able Sisters shop recently?

Little inside info: The other day?

Mr.Nook and I? Met with 'em. Talked business. Boom.

And can I say something? Those sisters? Seem to be close to you, Mr.Nook...

Must go way back, eh?

...

Well. Anyway. We got an invite.

Bit of a sit-down. Even the gal who's always working took time.

Served us tasty (sweet dish).

Best I've had.

Gotta say...that Mr.Nook. So popular! Everywhere he goes! People love him!

LOVE him.

Nook: Mr Lyle! It's not like that at all! Stob gabbing and get back to work!

Ho ho ho! Mr. Nook! I do believe your blushing!”

 

Those Able sisters. Must enjoy

working. Hardly ever take a break!
