• Huh? Whaddaya got, (catchphrase)
• Really? What is it?

Gift cancelled[edit]

• Huh? For a second, it looked liks you wanted to give me something. You got my hopes up!
• What was that? Are your decision muscles getting flabby?
• You alright, (player)? It's cool. If I skip a meal, I have trouble with decisions too.

Given bug not donated to museum[edit]

• Hey! A (bug)! Thanks! This bug looks really cool! I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before, (catchphrase). Hey! You should show it to Blathers. He LOVES insects!

Talking[edit]

Talked to outside[edit]

• (personal greeting)! You bringin' it?
• (personal greeting)! Workin' those legs?
• (personal greeting)! I like those threads.

• (at night)Evening, (catchphrase)! How's your night going?

Talked to at home[edit]

• (personal greeting)! OK! Commence (Jock)'s Special Training! Ha ha, just kidding, (catchphrase)!
• Welcome! I guess you're here for a tour of the soon-to-be-world-famous (Jock)'s Gym!
• (personal greeting)! Had a feeling you'd show up!
• (personal greeting)! Guess we might as well work out.. Huh? Not what you had in mind?
• (personal greeting)! You're just in time for some push-up training! Ha ha! Just kidding, (catchphrase)!
• (personal greeting)! Let's do sit-ups together! Ha ha! Just kidding, (catchphrase)!
• (when another villager is visiting)(player)! Stop by for a visit? First (neighbor) is here, and now YOU'RE here. I'm a popular guy today!

Talked to while visiting another villager[edit]

• Heya! (villager)'s place is pretty relaxing, huh?
• Wow! I really got lucky visiting (villager), 'cause now you're here too, (catchphrase)!
• Hey, neat! You came by to visit (villager) too! Cool, (catchphrase).

Talked to in buildings[edit]

• Yo, (player)! Does your jog route go through here?

Talked to in the museum[edit]

• (fossil area)What's up, (player)! Soakin' up some ancient history?
• (bug area)(player)! I didn't know you were into bugs, (catchphrase)!
• (art gallery)The art, the quiet, the others lost in thought... This room is just about perfect for meditation, (catchphrase).
• (aquarium)These fish are always swimming, so it's like they NEVER stop working out, even when they're asleep!
• (aquarium, freshwater fish area)Can you imagine swimming against a river your whole life? You'd get, like, crazy MEGA built! I'm kinda jealous!

Talked to again[edit]

• You don't need to check up on me so much, (catchphrase). I'm all good here.
• (player)! What's going on now, (catchphrase)?
• Hey there, buddy. Whaddya need this time, (catchphrase)?
• Well, hello. Again.
• Heya, (catchphrase)! Working up a good sweat?
• Oh! How ya doin', (catchphrase)?
• (at home)Yo! Make yourself at home, (catchphrase). Again.

Goodbye[edit]

• What? Oh well!
• Really? Well, see you around!

Talked too much[edit]

• Oops! Time's up! Yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to wrap this up, (catchphrase).
• Sorry...but I just remembered I have to take care of at an else...where...place, (catchphrase).

Conversations[edit]

• Another awesome day for training. You should join me sometime!
• You can't beat a cold protein shake after a hard workout. I live for that first sip!
• I'm off to patrol (island)! (player), I'm leaving that sector over there for you.
• I'm gonna do a few hundred laps around the island. No big deal. You wanna come, (catchphrase)?
• I'm gonna do 50 laps around the island. Wanna come, (catchphrase)?
• I like to name my muscles. Like, in my six-pack, I've got Abigail, Abdul, Abe, Abby, Abel and Abner. My abs!
• (morning)Getting in an early workout? Best way to start the day, (catchphrase)!
• (late afternoon/night)I like to do a late cooldown before I start up my evening routines. Can't beat it, (catchphrase)!
• (sunset)BRING IT ON! The sun may be goin' down, but I'm just getting started, (catchphrase)!
• (night)I worked up a solid sweat today. I'm gonna be super sore in the morning, (catchphrase).
• (after catching a flea off them)Oh, (player)! Did you catch my pet flea for me? Amazing! Way to grab the little guy. That takes some serious reflexes and agility, (catchphrase)!
• (if Label is visiting)I ran into Label a little while ago. She just kinda stared at my clothes. Hmm...at least, I think she was staring at my clothes. She might've been staring at my rippling muscles!

Conversations at home[edit]

• I just got called "tedious" by (normal villager). She said I only ever think about muscles.
  • But that's not tedious, (catchphrase)! I mean, just look at how many muscle groups you can work on, or all the routines you can create and perfect!
  • Maybe she's right, (catchphrase)... She asked me about my favorite ice cream and I kinda talked her ear off about arm routines.
• Hey, you liking my (table item)? If I'm not working out, sometimes I'll sit there and read. It, um... doesn't get used much, (catchphrase).
• Find any cool fossils yesterday? I get SO PUMPED imagining how strong dinosaurs were, (catchphrase)!
• I've put a ton of effort out in this room. Oh--I don't mean decorating. I work out in here! Yeah, you wouldn't believe the sweat I can work up in here. I bet you can still smell it!
• Yo, (player)! What do you do when you realize you're totally lost, (catchphrase)?
  • I like to just walk back the same way I came. Building leg muscles is never a waste, after all! The only trouble is when you get too into it and start doing laps instead of getting where you're going.
• Nice! You just found my favorite spot to lift weights, (catchphrase). I've crushed so many reps in my <seating item> that I'm nostalgic just talking about it!
• I was just thinkin' about which sport I should choose for my pro debut.
  • Basketball might be the way to go... I'm pretty sure I'd be great at it. I could sink that clutch three-pointer at the buzzer from across the court to win the championship, no prob! Then I'd tear off my jersey, strike a few muscle-man poses, and flex as the crowd rushes the court!
• I thought of a cool sportsmanship oath. Listen up, (catchphrase). Go on a fun field trip! Skip everywhere! Never stop flexing! Um... I guess it needs a little work.
• Hey, do you know the most important necessity for wilderness survival?
  • It's your biceps! If you wanna survive out in the wild, you gotta have huge biceps! Out in the wild, you've gotta carry a lot of heavy things and maybe swim in rough waters, right? You gotta have faith in your own arms... In other words, your arm muscles are the most important for survival.
• I had this awesome dream... My abs were a 64-pack, and each of THOSE abs had its own 64-pack. Fractal abs! I woke up SUPER motivated to hit the <sport> big leagues, so... I think it's safe to say that I'm a champion <sport> ultra-pro now, <catchphrase>!
• (on Sundays)How was your Happy Home academy score? Mine, um...well, there weren't any touchdowns, that's for sure. Plus, they never even asked how many crunches I can do...
• (on the week a Bug-Off is announced)Hey, (player). All set for Saturday's Bug-Off? I've been working on my triceps for weeks. Those bugs won't know what caught 'em, (catchphrase)!
• (when another villager is visiting)Yo, (player)! How ya like my muscle room? Not that there's any other kind of room... You and (neighbor) can swing by any time!

Thinking[edit]

• So if I add that to that... Yes! Oh, it's you, (catchphrase)! I'm adding up the calories I burned. Except I keep losing my count!
• If you add biceps to triceps, you should get fiveceps...right? Oh! You startled me! I'm kind of in the middle of some deep thinking. Maybe go exercise a bit while I'm musing, (catchphrase).
• Calories from (activity)... Calories from (activity)... Calories from (activity)... Yeah, (3rd activity). Whoa! Sorry, I'm counting calories burned, and you kinda caught me off guard, (catchphrase).

While visiting another villager[edit]

• Take it easy, have a drink or something. Make yourself at home... What am I saying? This isn't even my house, (catchphrase)!
• You up for a little three-on-three basketball? Between you, me, and (villager), we got a team! We should start practicing! Alright, who's got a ball, (catchphrase)?

Fireworks show[edit]

• Can you imagine watching the fireworks show from up in the sky? Oof. I'm getting dizzy thinking about it...like when I run in circles at top speed to train my turning muscles...

On Toy Day[edit]

• I bet Santa's real into rock climbing. Think about it! How else would you climb up and down a chimney?
• (delivering Magic Bag gifts) (whispered)Dressed like Santa...carrying a big bag full of presents...on Toy Day... (speaking)What are you up to, <catchphrase>?
  • (I have a gift for you!)A gift? From...Santa? Hold on, you're doing Santa's heavy lifting?! That's awesome! You're totally crushing it!
  • (Happy Toy Day!)
• (on the day after)I was so pumped about the present Santa got me that last night, I had a dream about him, <catchphrase>. I dreamed we compared abs, and guess what? He. Was. SHREDDED!

Commenting on player's outfit[edit]

• Your (clothing item) is pretty sweet! That your victory outfit? You know what'd go great with it? (clothing item 2)! The color's really gonna complement your physique, (catchphrase)! (gifts item)No need to be shy!
• I can't say I'm the biggest fan of your (cute clothing item). I just don't think the "cute" look shows off my lats the way they deserve, (catchphrase).

Problems[edit]

• Gaaaaaaaaahhhhh! I want (clothing item) so bad! I was thinking, "My bud, (player), might have one," so here I am. So, (player)... Wanna sell that to me?
  • (How much?)Let's see... How about (price) Bells?
    • (OK!)Huh?! You're OK with that? I mean... GOOOOOOAAAAALLL! (exchange made)Alright! Thanks! Playing on your team is always the right way to go, (catchphrase)!
    • (Sorry.)
  • (Sorry.)

Returning a lost item[edit]

• (You lose this?)Uh, what now?
• (Drop something?)What is it, (catchphrase)? Show me.
  • (pouch)Oh, this is...the bag that I thought was gone forever!
  • (pouch)Huh? It's...my bag! Wow, haven't seen that for a while!
  • (book)Huh? You had...my workout journal!
    • I thought I would never see it again! I have to do something nice for you, so... please take this!
    • 'Thanks for finding it! Oh! I guess... Yeah, here's a little something. It's just a small thank-you.
      • (gifts item)I hope I'm not being too generous! I'm giving you (item)!

Sick villager[edit]

• (first time)Ugghhh... I feel awful. Knew I shoulda stocked up on medicine...
• (returning with medicine)It's weird... My muscles are shaky, but not I-just-ran-a-jillion-miles shaky, (catchphrase)...
  • (Need some medicine?)Are you sure? Wow, you're a true bud. I can totally count on you!
    • (medicine given)Whew... That's a big help... Hoo, yeah! I'm rarin' to go now!
    • I was pretty out of it for a while there, but I feel like my old self now. Thanks! It's no big deal really, but plese take this little thank-you gift... (clothing item). (gives clothing item)Next time, if you're sick, I'll come cartwheeling over to your side.
  • (Don't push yourself.)

Hotel guest[edit]

• Yo! You one of the locals here? Cool! I'm <Jock>. Just on a bit of a vacation, y'know? Normally I like to camp--rough it a little bit--but I'm in a kind of "recovery and rehydrate" phase. That means I've been bored out of my mind. Glad you stopped by to spice things up, <catchphrase>!
• Whoa! You approached me even though my biceps were out. You must be a tough <island> local! Don't worry--I'm more than just my biceps. I'm my triceps too! Oh, I also have a name. It's <Jock>! Anyway, I'm here on vacation, and I'm hoping to flex my friendship muscles the hardest, <catchphrase>!

In the museum[edit]

• (fossil area)If I'd lived a million years ago, I'd be on display here as the strongest creature that ever lived!
• (bug area)If I were a bug, I'd be worried I'd lose my edge in a place like this. I bet these bugs need a trainer...

In shops[edit]

• (Nook's Cranny)Just walking around here's a pretty decent workout. You don't even need to buy anything, (catchphrase)!
• (Nook's Cranny, inspecting item)(item)? Well, it's gonna be something I see every time I do a sit-up, so I better love it, (catchphrase)!

Sitting down[edit]

• I read that sitting like this is the best way to work your core muscles.
• You wanna sit here? Sorry! My legs are so tired from my last workout, I couldn't get up if I wanted to.
• I know it looks like I'm almost sitting down, but I'm actually clenching my abs, <catchphrase>!

Fishing[edit]

• Check me out! I'm gonna catch the biggest, baddest fish on the island, (catchphrase)!
• Ugh! I can't catch anything...
• I think these scaredy fish are just afraid of my huge, bulging muscles, (catchphrase).

Bug-Off[edit]

• I swear on my epic triceps that there's no way I'm gonna lose to you, (player)!
• Hey! Listen up! The one who doesn't give up? They're the one who never gave up! Remember that!

Crafting[edit]

• Whew! I nearly sprained my creativity. Whaddaya think?
• Hey, (player)! Perfect timing! Come take a look, (catchphrase)!
• Aaaaand... THERE we go! Alright, (player), need something?
  • (What is it?/Whatcha up to?)You're not gonna believe it. I made (item)! I was out jogging the other day and, somewhere around the fifty-third mile, inspiration just...hit me. Or it could've been dehydration. Either way, check it out! And stay hydrated!
    • (if the player already has the recipe)Whoa! When'd you learn to make (item)? (player response)Figures. Well, keep workin' that brain muscle! I wanna see what you can do, (catchphrase)! Actually, you know what'd be really cool? If EVERYONE could make (item)! Here, take this recipe and share it around. (recipe gifted)Oh, uh...and ignore the sweat stains. Those aren't part of the recipe.
  • (It's not my thing./ I don't wanna interrupt./Not really.)

Cooking[edit]

• Yooo, (Jock), you have outdone yourself! It looks good and it smells amazing, <catchphrase>!
• Heya! Did the sweet smells drag you in here by the nose, <catchphrase>?
• I follow strict workout instructions at the gym, but in the kitchen? I just throw stuff together. It works!
  • (What is it, what is it?!/Watcha makin'?/So, what is it?)Glad you asked. I'm making <food>! You know I'm an athlete, right? I've talked about it before? Well, this is the fuel that keeps me strong! Whoa! My brain just flexed with a sweet idea. I could give YOU the recipe, and we could be chef pals! (recipe gifted)
    • (if the player already has the recipe)If you're already maxed out on this recipe, just pass it along to someone else, <catchphrase>.
    • (if the player does not have the recipe yet)It's all about the flavor, OK? Don't sweat the presentation.
  • (Good for you./You seem busy./If you say so...)

Talking after being absent for at least a week[edit]

• Huh? It's <player>! How're you doing? We haven't caught up lately, <catchphrase>. I saw you around the other day. You had quite a spring in your step... Have you been skipping leg day?

Force[edit]

Hit[edit]

• Ouch! That's not proper training form, (player)!
• Stop it, (player)! I am NOT a bug and I will NOT be squished!
• Hey, buddy, you know you hit me with that thing, right? Come on, (player), (catchphrase)... Don't be like that!
• Whatcha doing, (player)? If you're after a (sport) throwdown or whatever, there are better ways to get my attention!

Pushed[edit]

• Whoa! Too close! Back off a bit there, (catchphrase).
• Hey, now! You need a proper punching bag for training, and I am NOT a proper punching bag!
• Stop it! You should be more careful around me, (player)! Get careless around my rock-hard abs, and you could hurt yourself.
• Is that the best you can do, (player)? 'Cause your best ain't very nice!

Bad mood[edit]

Angry[edit]

• I don't feel like talking right now!
• You should leave me alone until I get my feelings sorted out, (catchphrase)!
• Please leave me alone! I'm incensed right now! INCENSED, (catchphrase)!
• What's with you, (player)? Do you really have something THAT important to tell me?

Sorry![edit]

• ...It's alright. I'll forgive you this time, (catchphrase). But next time, stay outta my face when I'm mad!

Maybe...[edit]

• ...Well, I guess I can stop fuming. Anger is good motivation for training sometimes, but I don't wanna be angry ALL the time.

Sad[edit]

• I really don't feel like talking to you right now... Maybe some other time.
• I'm barely able to lift this sadness, (catchphrase). Could you leave me alone for a while, please?
• What's with you, (player)?

I'm sorry?[edit]

Oh... Well if you say you're sorry, I'll give you benefit of the doubt, (catchphrase).

Hmm...[edit]

Well... Since you came to talk to me, I guess we're good, (catchphrase).

Letters[edit]

Letters sent due to high friendship[edit]

• To my worthy rival, (player)!

I've decided to share my morning warm-up routine with you. It's three sets of (random three-digit number) sit-ups, three sets of (random three-digit number) push-ups, and three sets of (random three-digit number) squats. I usually do way more than that, but it's a good baseline.

Rippedly yours, (Jock)

• Dear (player),

Sometimes I hear others talking about training their brains. But I have no idea what to lift to work my brain muscles. I'm kinda worried I'm gonna fall behind. Help!

From your friend, (Jock)

• Hope you're good, (player)!

You're always doing so much for me, so I wrote this letter to tell you how much I appreciate you, (player). You challenge me, and I look forward to continuing our rivalry.

Always pumped, (Jock)

• To stone-abs (player),

Sometimes writing letters is nice because you can write things that you might not say out loud in person. Then again, I say almost everything out loud.

Yours in soreness, (Jock)

• To my fitness friend (player),

I thought of a simple way to train my fingers. By writing letters, I can correspond with you while giving my digits a workout at the same time. My hands are going to be incredibly muscular!

-(Jock)

Sending gifts[edit]

Clothing[edit]

• Gettin' it done, (player)?

Of course you are! And you inspire me to get it done too! I'm way more ripped for being your friend. I run more laps, bench more weight, do more reps... Long letter short, I got you a gift to say thanks. Thanks!

Ever stronger, (Jock)

Fossils[edit]

• Looking good, (player)!

Hey, you like mysteries, right? I found a fossil that's really got me wondering how much dinosaurs could deadlift. I'm totally stumped, so I'm sending it your way. Let me know what you find out!

Explorer (Jock)

Furniture[edit]

• (player)!

If you REALLY wanna max out your gains, you gotta change it up--and I mean both the workouts AND the scenery. So here's something to help you with the scenery. Just like that, you're halfway there!

Your muscle guru, (Jock)

• Yo, (player)!

So I had this dream. I was playing baseball on the moon and it was snowing protein powder and the hoop was made of fish and then I won and was crowned king of Moon Muscle City. Anyway, I got you this!

Dream Athlete (Jock)

• What's up, (player)?

Did you like school? I didn't. Gym wasn't hard enough! I tried jumping ahead to college-level gym class, but it was still too easy! Guess I'm just too swole for school! Anyway, here's to our schooldays.

Coach (Jock)

Response to receiving a birthday present[edit]

• Yo, (player)!

Thanks for the birthday present! You knew exactly what I wanted. I'm pumped! So I got you a little something for your fitness routine in return. Hope you like it a lot!

Sweatfully yours, (Jock)
