## **Behavior**

> "*He will call at random into your office, and you will only have a brief amount of time to mute his call. If you fail to mute the call then you will be forced to listen to the whole thing, which will aggravate you as well as any animatronic that is sensitive to the noise level. Also, the mute button will appear in unpredictable locations.*"

Every 20 seconds, if there is not a currently active phone call and Dee-Dee/XOR are not currently in the Office, the game will choose a number between 0 and 29. If this number is less than his AI level, Phone Guy will make a call to the player. His call will add 1 level of noise to the Office. From there, the player has

 frames (from 298 to 260 frames, or about 4.96 to 4.33 seconds) to click the "MUTE" button to end his call. This "MUTE" button will appear at a different location on the screen each time, and potentially on top of where Nightmarionne may be occupying. If the mute button is missed, the entirety of the randomly-chosen call will play, adding his elevated sound level the whole time. After a total of 1 minute of talking, there is a 50% chance that he will hang up early.

## **Dialogue**

"Hello? Hello hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. You'll do fine! So let's just focus on getting you through your first week, okay? Uh, let's see. First, an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. It's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, 'Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a magical place for kids and grown ups alike, where fantasy and fun-"

"Uh, hello? Hello? Well, if you're hearing this then you made it to day two. Uh, congrats! Uh I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses. Uh, it might be a good idea to keep up those cameras while I talk, just to make sure everyone's in their proper place. You know, uh, interestingly enough Freddy himself doesn't come off stage very often. I've heard he becomes more active in the dark, though, so hey, I guess that's one more reason not to run out of power, right? Uh, I also wanted to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. Uh, there are blind spots in your camera view, and those blind spots happen to be right outside-"

"Hello hello? Hey, you're doing great! Most people don't last this long! I mean, you know, they usually move onto other things by now. Uh, I'm not implying that they die. That's not what I meant. Uh, anyway, I better not take up too much of your time. Uh, things start getting real tonight. Uh, hey listen, I had an idea: If you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, um, try playing dead! You know, go limp. There is a chance that maybe they'll think you're an empty costume instead...Then again, if they think you're an empty costume they might try to stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work...Yeah, never mind, scratch-"

"Uh hello? Hello hello? Uh, hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh, I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see in your first week here, and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path. Uh, now I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location. You know, uh, some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company. Uh, that old restaurant was kind of left to rot for quite a while, but, uh, I want to reassure you Fazbear Entertainment is committed to family, fun, and above all, face. They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics. Uh, facial recognition, advanced mobility, they even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat? But most importantly, they're all tied into some kind of criminal database so they can detect a predator a mile away. Hey, we should be paying them to guard you! Uh, now that being said, no new system is without it's kinks. Uh, you're only the second guard to work at that location. Uh, the first guy finished his week, but complained about conditions. Uh, we switched him over to the day shift, so hey, lucky you, right?! Uh, mainly he expressed concern that certain characters seemed to move around at night and they even attempted to get into his office. Now, from what we know that should be impossible. That restaurant should be the safest place on Earth, so while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that the robots were never given a proper 'night mode'. So when it gets quiet, they think they're in the wrong room, so they may go try to find where the people are, and in this case, that's your office. So our temporary solution is this: there's a music box over by the prize counter and it's rigged-"

"Uh, hello hello? For today's lesson we will be continuing our training on proper suit handling techniques. When using an animatronic exosuit, please ensure that the animatronic parts are tightly compressed and fastened by the springlocks located around the inside of the suit. It may take a few moments to position your head and torso through these parts in a manner where you can move and speak. Try not to nudge or press against any of the springlocks inside the suit. Do not touch the springlocks at any time. Do not breathe on the springlocks as moisture may loosen them and cause them to break loose. In case that the springlocks come loose while you are wearing the suit, please try to maneuver away from populated areas before bleeding out, as to not ruin the customer experience. As always, if there is ever an emergency, please go to the designated safe room. Every location is filled with one extra room that is not included in-"

## **Trivia**

* Phone Guy also appears in **Five Nights at Freddy's 4,** as an Easter Egg, with his voice, backwards, in the background.
* Phone Guy along with **Nightmare Freddy** and **Foxy,** had an April Fools joke description being: "*He will call into your office at random, creating a lot of noise and momentarily increasing the aggressiveness of the animatronics. He cannot call, however, if Springtrap is in the vents, because he can’t be in two places at the same time."* This is a reference to the theory that Phone Guy was the Purple Guy.
* The phone's ringtone is different depending on which sound clip is used. The ringtone depends on the game the used sound clip originated from.
