> “Sam is an outgoing, friendly guy who is brimming with youthful energy. He plays guitar and drums, and wants to start a band with Sebastian as soon as he has enough songs together. However, he does have a habit of starting ambitious projects and not finishing them. Sam is a little stressed about the impending return of his father, who has been away for years due to his line of work.”

Sam is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. He's one of the ten characters available to marry. He lives in the southern part of town, just north of the river.

Sam is often in his bedroom practicing guitar, or spending time with his friend Sebastian. He works part time at JojaMart as well.

## Schedule

Sam can often be found in his bedroom practicing his guitar. He's also often in town playing his handheld video game or at the saloon playing pool. He sometimes works part time at JojaMart, Monday and Wednesday. If the player finishes the Community Center bundles, he will instead be working in the Artifacts and Minerals display in the Museum (near the fireplace). During spring he frequents the saloon, visits the woods west of town in the fall, and the beach during summer.

When it's raining he'll often stay home all day, or visit The Saloon for a few hours.

His schedule can deviate if there are specific conditions like season, weather or certain days of the week. Below are his schedule deviations prioritized highest to lowest (for example when it rains that schedule will override all others below it)

 6:30 PM

* "Hi-energy dance music."

No matter which style you pick, Sam says that's the style he's been thinking about for the band. He asks Sebastian if he's on board, too. Sebastian agrees and Sam thanks you.

### 3 tim

Enter the beach on a sunny day, and a cutscene will trigger. This event can only trigger in Year 1.

Vincent asks if their father is ever going to come home. Sam says "Of course." Vincent mentions overhearing people talk about the mass military casualties. Sam tells him not to believe them, and Vincent returns to playing. Sam feels bad for getting his brother's hopes up and asks for your opinion.

* "It's best to be honest with kids." Sam questions your thoughts, but then agrees that kids have to learn about the world one way or another.

### 6 tim

* "You're right, sir. Sam should respect private property." If you pick this, Sam is unhappy, but obliges and says he'll just not skateboard ever again.

## Dialogue

### Regular

"The clouds look great this time of year, don't they?" ...

"Like scoops of vanilla ice cream floating on blue raspberry sauce... Or maybe I'm just hungry." [spring]

"Ugh, I stepped in something gross earlier.. and I just bought these shoes."

"Hey, farmer."

"My Dad is a soldier, fighting against the Gotoro Empire. That's why he's not here..." ... "He'll come back someday." ... "...I've heard some terrible things about the Gotoro Empire..."

"Hmm. I just remembered that I was supposed to do something... But I forgot." ... "This happens to me all the time."

"Hey, how's it going?" ... "Last night I practiced guitar for 4 hours straight. My fingers hurt like crazy." ... "Bye, I've got something to do..."

**Tue. 23, day before the Flower Dance:** "Why couldn't the flower dance be today so I could get work off?"

**Flower Dance, if refused:** ""Hmm... I dunno. Maybe next year.""

"Oh, it's a nice day, isn't it?"

"Hey, how's it going?" ... "I'm hungry." ... "See you later."

"Oh! I just remembered I'm supposed to call my Grandma. Okay, I'm going to put this rubber band on my wrist so I don't forget." ... "I have to make little reminders for myself or else I'll totally forget to do things."

### In His Room

Upon looking in the trash bin

""Hey, don't look in there!""

### Questions

**"I'm trying to come up with a new song for my band, but I'm blanking..." ... "Hey... What do you think my new song should be about?"**

Farming, mining and chopping wood.
*"Hey, you know what? That sounds perfect. Thanks!"*
A city in the sea.
*"Hey, you know what? That sounds perfect. Thanks!"*
Trains.
*"Hey, you know what? That sounds perfect. Thanks!"*
Choose anything. It'll still be a horrible song.

Here's a timeline showing how ConcernedApe's art and Sam's style changed over the years before the game was launched.

## Trivia

* Sam is allergic to pollen, which is shown during the Egg festival, where he complains about it. He also mentions that his "nose is really happy" during summer due to typically low pollen.

* "Sam" is short for "Samson", which he reveals to the player once they have a good relationship with him. He also states that he doesn't want the player to tell anyone.

* "Sam" is a unisex given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "God has heard". Other meanings are "Sun child" or "bright sun".

* Sam behaves differently than other NPCs when the player rummages through garbage cans. Instead of being disgusted, he just asks the player why they're searching through the trash.

* On Sam's portraits, his undershirt is yellow, however in his sprite, it is red.
