## Introduction

When speaking to Charles for the first time in a new game, Spring
 **Charles:**Well, hello to yo–
ACHOOOOOO!
Ugh… Spring. Not the best time to move here.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**By the way, I’m Char–
ACHOOO!
When speaking to Charles for the first time in a new game, Summer–Winter
 **Charles:**Well, hello to you too! You must be new here.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I hope you like Coral Island. See you around!

 **Charles:**That’s what sunshine and physical activity does for you, my friend.
It gets the endorphins going – your feel-good pheromones.
Monday
 **Charles:**Dehydration is a real thing. Your body’s mostly water and can’t work right without it. So remember to stay hydrated and drink plenty!
Monday
 **Charles:**Sorry, I often sound stuffy in the morning.
But it usually clears up later.
Monday
 **Charles:**It’s important to be aware of our allergies.
You really don’t want to discover an allergy accidentally.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Especially not when you’re in the middle of a hot date.
Take a bite of that clam, then a rash suddenly breaks out and your lips start to swell.
NOT based on personal experience… \*winks\*
Tuesday
 **Charles:**I don’t want to be rude, but I wonder what you put in those pockets of yours.
They always seem so full.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**That reminds me. I forgot to recycle yesterday.
Tuesday
 **Charles:**Work hard. But, more importantly, work smart.
Don’t overexert yourself and pass out, or you’ll be billed for a medical emergency.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**We don’t charge an outrageous amount though.
Just enough to cover the cost.
Tuesday
 **Charles:**Health is wealth… Don’t forget that, kid!
Your money means nothing if you’re not healthy enough to enjoy them.
Tuesday
 **Charles:**New fashion trends are cool…but on other people.
I’m pretty comfortable with my style, so I’m sticking with it.
Wednesday
 **Charles:**I enjoy the conformity of fashion.
In a way, it gives me a sense of belonging.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Even if it’s just in the way I dress. Slacks and polos.
Wednesday
 **Charles:**I wear my crimson khakis when I’m feeling daring.
Have you seen me in them?
It’s quite the outfit, I’ve been told.
Wednesday
 **Charles:**\*off-key singing\*
Thursday
 **Charles:**People here are open-minded. They’ve never held anything against me.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I feel very safe here… This is home to me.
Thursday
 **Charles:**Live and let live, I say.
As people, I think we should avoid harming others and afford each other the same respect and dignity that we expect ourselves.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**But that’s just my opinion.
Friday
 **Charles:**I have this ritual that I’ve been doing for who knows how long.
So usually, on Saturdays, I like to make burritos and keep the leftovers for Sunday’s lunch.
Isn’t that fun?
Friday
 **Charles:**It’s okay to let loose on special occasions.
You just need to remember not to get carried away.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Ha ha… What can I say? I really should heed my own medical advice sometimes.
Some things are just easier said than done, especially when burritos are involved!
Friday–Sunday
 **Charles:**I’m all for farming. I think it’s an excellent activity for both body and mind.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**You know what?
I hope more people will get out of their houses and do some farming… Or gardening. Get up and sweat it out!
Saturday
 **Charles:**It’s important get your health checked regularly.
If something’s wrong, it can be picked up early.
Saturday
 **Charles:**Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
If either is suffering, it can be catastrophic to you.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I don’t mean to scare you or anything. Just telling the truth!
Saturday
 **Charles:**We need to start talking about mental health more, to erase the social stigma around it.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**And, as a result, we can detect them easier and faster.
Early detection is the root of a successful health plan, you see.
Saturday
 **Charles:**Having a hobby can help you relax and help you work more efficiently in the long run.
So, if you don’t already have a hobby, maybe start reading or pick up a fishing rod.
Sunday
 **Charles:**The recycling center been here since…umm…
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I can’t remember, for the life of me.
Tell you what, I’ll mail you if it comes back to me.
Sunday
 **Charles:**Is my hair messy?
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Oh, you said lazy. I thought you said my hair was MESSY.
Don’t scare me like that! No, I’m not being lazy. Just taking a break.
Sunday
 **Charles:**One day, not long from now, my hair will be gone. So, I’m trying to hold on to each strand as long as I can.
Nothing’s wrong with going bald. I just can’t imagine how hot it would be under the sun, that’s all.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I’ll need to cover my head in sunscreen when I’m bald…
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Or I could always wear a hat.

#### Starting with two hearts

Monday
 **Charles:**Scott’s a bit messy and leaves things all over the place…
But, other than that, he’s a decent housemate.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**That said, he often walks straight into doors. Not just screen doors, regular solid ones too.
It’s amazing how successful he is, given his clumsiness.
Tuesday–Saturday
 **Charles:**I’m glad that everyone here is given equal access to health care.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Access to health care is a basic human need.
So, I don’t think wealth should restrict whether or not someone gets it.
Wednesday–Friday
 **Charles:**We’re lucky to never have to worry about health care.
It’s a luxury in some parts of the world… Unfair, I know.
Sunday
 **Charles:**Our clinic only charges for emergency services…
And even with that, we’re highly subsidized by the government, so everyone pays a share of what they can afford.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**During my many years working in the clinic, I have never once turned away anyone in need.
That’s not what we’re about here.
Sunday
 **Charles:**I could go for a burrito right now.
Maybe some strawberries later.

#### Starting with four hearts

Monday
 **Charles:**I make sure to match my tie to my hair. It’s hard to choose the right shade sometimes, but thank goodness, I got that sorted out.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**It’s hard to be seen next to Yuri, because she’s so green… Very garish, if you ask me.
Monday
 **Charles:**\*mumbling incomprehensible gibberish\*
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Hey, I'm most certainly not mumbling incomprehensible gibberish!
I was trying to recall the names of the medicines that I need to restock.
Tuesday
 **Charles:**Milk gives me an upset stomach, so I try to avoid it. Honestly, I would rather not drink it at all.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I’m trying to reduce my dairy intake. But some things are harder to cut out than others.
Saturday
 **Charles:**The last time I went out dancing? Hmm… It had to have been last week.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**You seem interested in my dancing schedule. You’re not going to take me out dancing, are ya?
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**’Cause I’m not going to say no. \*chuckles\*
Sunday
 **Charles:**Today is not a good day to go to the tavern. Trust me!
It’s so busy there on the weekend. Phew!
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**There are so many people in the tavern. There’s no room to dance.
What’s the point of going if I’m not going to dance, right? I prefer to go there on Fridays.
Sunday
 **Charles:**I popped into the tavern to see if anyone was there, but then just left. I wasn’t really feeling it today.

### Seasonal lines

#### Spring

 **Charles:**I’m closing my windows for the whole season.
 **Charles:**I know what you’re gonna say. I should probably take allergy medicine, right? It makes me really drowsy…
Haven’t found the right one, probably.
 **Charles:**I always change clothes as soon as I get home.
 You don’t want to sleep with that pollen sticking to your clothes and hair and stuff. \*shivers\*
 **Charles:**I’m so glad Yuri is here. She’s made of iron, that one.
I would’ve been miserable running the clinic alone with all this pollen flying around.
 **Charles:**I like the weather, but Spring’s gotta be at the bottom of my list of favorite seasons.
 **Charles:**My allergies are like clockwork, *Player*. As soon as it’s the first of Spring, that’s it for me.
Spring 1–9
 **Charles:**Life must be exciting for farmers like you right now.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Oh, with the new season and all.
It’s an ideal time for farming, no?
Spring 1–10
 **Charles:**Uh oh…here it comes…spring allergies.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Hold on a-
ACHOO!
What I was saying was-
ACHOO!
Okay, I think I'm good now. Where were we?
Spring 10
 **Charles:**Hmm... I would apply more sunscreen in about an hour if I were you.
Better safe than sorry, I always say.
Spring 12–20
 **Charles:**I’m staying away from milk.
It doesn’t agree with my stomach.

#### Summer

 **Charles:**I have to say…hot weather isn’t my thing.
It puffs up my hair like cotton candy.
 **Charles:**It’s good that more people are out and about in Summer.
As long as we don’t forget the sunscreen, right?
 **Charles:**The humidity isn’t helping my hair at all.
Yours is fine, though. How come? What shampoo do you use?
 **Charles:**People can call me annoying all they want, but I’m going to keep reminding them about sunscreen. Especially in this blazing Summer sun.
Talk to Charles again, Summer 1–7
 **Charles:**I’ve already had to treat a few people for sunburn.
Won’t name names, *Player*, patient–doctor confidentiality and all that.
 **Charles:**Daisies don’t make me sneeze too much unless I get really close. So I just stay away from where they grow.
 **Charles:**The heat is messing with my routine.
 **Charles:**This heat is so annoying… I’m not feeling like myself.
 **Charles:**I think the heat is getting to me. I feel annoyed.
 **Charles:**The sun is hammering down on me today… How am I supposed to work when it’s like this?
 **Charles:**I feel like I’m in an oven! Where’s a nice cool breeze when you need one?
My hair’s gone nuts, as well. I just can’t seem to catch a break in this weather!
Summer 1–3
 **Charles:**I feel like myself again! No more endless sniffling!
Summer 1–3
 **Charles:**I can open my windows again now the pollen has calmed down.
Nothing beats waking up in the fresh air.

#### Fall

 **Charles:**I just love Fall. There’s all the warming comfort food, and it’s not too hot or cold outside.
It’s perfect.
 **Charles:**The best thing about Fall is definitely sweet potato chips.
Sure, I could get them in other seasons, but they’re just better in the Fall, you know?
 **Charles:**Nothing like the crisp Fall air for enjoying some sweet potato chips.
I wish I had some now…
 **Charles:**I’m better suited to colder weather, I think.
Not too many mosquitos, and I just wake up refreshed!
 **Charles:**Wow, seems like my hair matches this season…
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**It’s bright yet soothing, warm yet refreshing, crisp yet soft, and – just like me – full of warmth.
 **Charles:**I guess farmers like your good self must be busy this season, eh?
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**What do you mean, why? It’s fall. Some even call it the harvest season.
Fall 1–7
 **Charles:**Oh, finally, a cool breeze!
Fall 8–13
 **Charles:**Are you excited for the Harvest Festival, *Player*? Personally, I can’t wait.
Fall 21–26
 **Charles:**Have you gotten your flu shot yet?
Winter is next week, you know.

#### Winter

 **Charles:**Yuri and I are usually pretty busy this season.
The townsfolk always need us for something other, whether it’s treating a cold or patching them up after a slip on the ice.
 **Charles:**Take care of yourself this season, *Player*. Winter weather can be harsh on our health…especially with less and less sunshine.
And I’m not just talking about the flu or the common cold. Winter blues is a real thing.
 **Charles:**I open my windows first thing in the morning.
I like to let the cold air in.
 **Charles:**You need to layer up when you leave the house…especially in Winter.
Another tip: wash your hands when you get home. Some viruses thrive in dry, cold conditions.
Last dialogue of the day
 **Charles:**I'm in a melancholy mood.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I blame the snow.
Last dialogue of the day
 **Charles:**I'm in a melancholy mood.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I blame the snow. Well, at least the dinner party is coming up soon, eh?
 **Charles:**All this snow must be challenging for people in your trade.
Farming and the snowy season… Tough business.
 **Charles:**I’m noticing less variety in the fresh produce at Sam’s, compared to other seasons.
Winter 21–27
 **Charles:**I’m looking forward to the New Year’s Eve Festival. Are you? I can’t wait for the present exchange and to eat all the good food.
Bree is an amazing host!
Winter 21–28
 **Charles:**Another Winter’s almost passed.
Not many flu cases this year… I’m very grateful.

### Location-specific lines

#### Clinic

Less than two hearts
 **Charles:**Farmer *Player*, need some more vitamins?
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Don’t shame a man for trying to sell his products, *Player*.
Vitamins help you and they help me at the same time. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
It doesn’t sound shady to me at all.
Less than two hearts, first dialogue of the day
 **Charles:**Are you okay? You look flushed and sweaty.
I recommend a dose of medicine.

 **Charles:**If you get cut or scraped, wash it right away with running water.
This will clean the wound.
 **Charles:**\*sneezes\* You never know when allergies will hit.
 **Charles:**I can’t believe people want to drill oil here, of all places…
This island is beautiful!
Before the oil spill happened anyway.
 **Charles:**I hope you don’t overfeed pet.
Playing with our pets when they’re bored is much better than just giving them treats.
Talk to Charles again, starting with two hearts
 **Charles:**You’re right, I don’t have any pets.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about them.
Starting with two hearts

 **Charles:**Two drinks and I’m done. Anything more and it’s hangover city for me the next day.
Starting with four hearts
 **Charles:**Ah, who am I kidding? My hair isn’t this bright.
I’ve got gray hair, *Player*! That’s why I keep revamping the color.
Oh, jeez. Do youngsters still say “revamping”?
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**They don’t say “youngsters” anymore, do they?
My age is showing.

#### Caravan

 **Charles:**Never once in my life have I come here intending to buy anything, but somehow I always buy something I don’t need.
 **Charles:**If my pollen allergy weren’t so bad, I would buy some flowers.
Starting with two hearts
 **Charles:**There are plenty of wild fruits around here.

#### Library

 **Charles:**Oh, what am I reading? Just some medical journals and fashion magazines.
 **Charles:**I’ve yet to see this place packed.
 **Charles:**You’re not looking for me, are you, *Player*?
Because I’m off duty right now.
 **Charles:**I’m here to make sure Millie is doing well.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**Err… I mean, to make sure her tasks are done on time.
Starting with two hearts
 **Charles:**I’m checking out a couple of books today to read over the next week.
Talk to Charles again
 **Charles:**I think I’ll head back home after this.
I feel exhausted.

#### Coral Inn

 **Charles:**Just chatting away with Suki.
Besides, it’s too hot for me to be outside.
 **Charles:**I can’t believe how bright it is outside today…
If it weren’t for that ice-cold wind, you’d think it was summer!
Starting with four hearts
 **Charles:**Ugh, I don’t think I put on enough sunscreen today. I hope they have extra!

In case you missed her, she wears green scrub and has matching green hair.
By the way, did you wear sunscreen? I have some, in case you didn't.
