“It is good for a businesscritter like myself to aquaint himself with the current market trends, yes, yes. “

 

“The younger ones can’t grow if the older ones meddle too much!”

 

“Welcome, valued customer.

Please, come in and brighten my humble store, hm?”

 

“Thank you! Do come again!

I look forward to seeing you!”

​

Thanks much! 
Please do come again. We'll be waiting, hm?

 

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!

 

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!”

 

“Do you donate any of your Bells to charity, (your name)?

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?”

 

Trying to sell you clothing:

“That’s a (clothing piece).

It’s the height of fashion, or so claims Fauna magazine.”

 

Buying from you:

“I guess one person’s junk is another critters treasure.”

 

About your loans:

“Pocket change, really.” 

 

“Of course…I did enjoy receiving all those payments…

So I encourage you to take on another project!”

 

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.)

 

Nintendo Direct Summer 2019:

Reveal Trailer:

"It's your itemized bill!

So, this includes everything - airfare,

accommodations, labor, tax...and of course your NookPhone, hm?

Bringing your grand total to the modest sum of...49,800 Bells!"

 

Treehouse Presentation:

"Hello, everyone! Tom Nook here!

It's E3, yes yes! To celebrate, we've got cameras everywhere so we can get a look at our islanders in action!

We don't have much time, but we want to share a bit about island life and perhaps drum up some interest.

I hope you all enjoy Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3! Yes indeed!"

 

"Hello, hello! Take your time, hm?

There's no rush, no rush at all."

 

in his van:

"Ah! How splendid seeing you here!

What a change of pace! Yes, yes...

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..."

​

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.
All this legwork for nothing, yes, yes...
