List

Small talk 1

  • US text:
    • Charlie “What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.”
    • Alph “Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.”
    • Brittany “You have an older sister back home, right?”
    • Alph “Yeah, and 12 older brothers. I miss our family dinners...”
    • Brittany “...Your family dinners must have been chaotic.”
    • Charlie “If we come back empty handed, there aren't going to be any more family dinners on Koppai!”
    • Alph “That's such an odd motivational tactic, Captain. But yes, I guess you're right. Let's go!”
  • Europe text:
    • Charlie “What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.”
    • Alph “Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.”
    • Brittany “You've got an older sister and a little brother, right?”
    • Alph “Yes, well remembered! Although you're forgetting my 12 older brothers... I'm the 14th of 15 kids!”
    • Brittany “Wow! That is a BIG family!”
    • Alph “Dinner time at our house was always so much fun...”
    • Brittany “And quite chaotic, I would imagine...”
    • Charlie “It's important for us to remember we're here to save all of Koppai, including our families!”
    • Charlie “So for our planet, and for our families, let's take home all the food we can!”
    • Alph “Let's do it!”

Small talk 2

  • US text:
    • Charlie “Has anyone else been hearing that strange noise? I haven't been able to sleep a wink.”
    • Alph “Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the S.S. Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.”
    • Brittany “I haven't heard anything...”
    • Alph “Do you think, maybe...that this noise could be somebody's growling stomach? Maybe yours, Captain?”
    • Charlie “I won't deny I'm hungry, but this noise sounds more like a—”
    • Brittany “GROOOOOOWL!”
    • Charlie “...Very hungry wild beast.”
    • Alph “Is everyone OK?”
  • Europe text:
    • Charlie “Has anyone else been hearing that strange noise? I haven't been able to sleep a wink.”
    • Alph “Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the SS Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.”
    • Brittany “I haven't heard anything...”
    • Alph “Do you think, maybe... that the noise could be a rumbling tummy?”
    • Alph “Maybe yours, Captain?”
    • Charlie “I won't deny I'm hungry, but this sounds more like a wild beast!”
    • Brittany “GROOOOOOWL!”
    • Charlie “A very HUNGRY wild beast!”
    • Alph “Yes, we'd best keep our wits about us...”

Small talk 3

  • US text:
    • Alph “Captain...? I don't mean to pry, but you keep shouting out the name Elizabeth in your sleep...”
    • Charlie “THAT'S MY BUSINESS! I'm sorry, Alph, I didn't mean to yell. Elizabeth is my soul mate. Leave it at that.”
    • Brittany “You have a goose for a soul mate?”
    • Charlie “GEESE ARE FILTHY CREATURES! ...Elizabeth is a duck.”
    • Brittany “OK, Captain. I'm sorry I mistook your clean ducky for a filthy goose.”
    • Charlie “Thank you. Apology accepted.”
    • Alph “Well, now that we've got all that cleared up, maybe we should get back to saving our planet.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Captain...? I don't mean to pry, but, you keep shouting out the name 'Elizabeth' in your sleep...”
    • Alph “Might I ask who Elizabeth is?”
    • Charlie “Well, Alph, that's a good question. Elizabeth is very special to me.”
    • Charlie “We share a deep, spiritual connection that most people would never be able to understand.”
    • Charlie “You could say that Elizabeth is my soulmate.”
    • Brittany “Isn't Elizabeth that goose that you keep as a pet back on Koppai?”
    • Charlie “Don't be ridiculous! Elizabeth is a duck. Ducks and geese are quite, quite different from one another.”
    • Brittany “Really? I've always thought they were pretty similar...”
    • Charlie “Ah... Brittany. You may be an excellent scientist, but you still have so much to learn!”
    • Alph “Well, we could all learn a lot from you, Captain! Your understanding of ducks is clearly second-to-none!”

Small talk 4

  • US text:
    • Alph “The flora and fauna on this planet certainly are large.”
    • Brittany “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
    • Brittany “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
    • Charlie “So wait, if the oxygen causes these creatures to grow so large...”
    • Charlie “Does that mean we're going to become giants as well?!”
    • Alph “Our space suits regulate our oxygen levels, so we shouldn't experience any change.”
    • Charlie “That's unfortunate. I've always wanted to be huge on another planet.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “The plants and animals on this planet certainly are large.”
    • Brittany “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is three times that of Koppai.”
    • Brittany “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
    • Alph “That's amazing, Brittany! We're so lucky to have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”
    • Charlie “Just a second! Does that mean if we stay here, we'll grow into giants as well?!”
    • Alph “No, our spacesuits regulate our oxygen concentration, so I would guess we'll be fine.”
    • Alph “I don't know what would happen if we took them off though...”

Small talk 4 (Alph and Brittany)

  • US text:
    • Alph “The flora and fauna on this planet certainly are large.”
    • Brittany “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
    • Brittany “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
    • Alph “Wow! Good thing we have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”
    • Alph “But... Does that mean if we remain deployed here, we'll become giants as well?!”
    • Brittany “No, our space suits will regulate our oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.”
    • Brittany “I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “The plants and animals on this planet are huge!”
    • Brittany “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
    • Brittany “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
    • Alph “That's amazing, Brittany! Good thing we have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”
    • Alph “But...does that mean if we stay here too long, we'll turn into giants too?!”
    • Brittany “No, our spacesuits will regulate the oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.”
    • Brittany “I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...”

Small talk 5

  • US text:
    • Brittany “The Onion appears to grow each time it merges with another Onion.”
    • Charlie “Perhaps it's to incorporate a larger number of Pikmin.”
    • Brittany “They're effective at maximizing their space. They must be very tidy creatures. And good at dusting.”
    • Alph “Maybe we'll find some mop Pikmin to help us clean the ship!”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “So I noticed this recently, but the Onion gets a little bigger whenever a new Onion fuses with it.”
    • Charlie “Even so, it's amazing how such a large army of Pikmin can fit in there.”
    • Brittany “They must be great at maximising their space. Maybe they're good at cleaning too? And dusting?”
    • Alph “Um, I don't think we can get them to clean up the ship, if that's what you're thinking, Brittany.”

Small talk 6

  • US text:
    • Alph “It looks like the SPERO probe was correct! This planet is teeming with edible matter!”
    • Brittany “And everything is packed with so much more nutritional value than what we have back on Koppai!”
    • Brittany “Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat! Lots of them, actually!”
    • Alph “I can't wait to be hailed as a hero bearing nutrient-packed seeds of healthy, race-saving deliciousness!”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Just like the SPERO probe reported, this planet is bursting with edible matter!”
    • Brittany “And it all has so much more nutritional value than anything back on Koppai.”
    • Brittany “Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat!”
    • Alph “Let's take back as much fruit as possible!”

Small talk 7

  • US text:
    • Alph “Um... I couldn't help but notice that you've been consuming quite a bit of juice, Brittany.”
    • Brittany “What?! I'm eating quite a bit? I'm only consuming my rations! Double-check your count, Alph!”
    • Alph “Oh, I'm sorry, Brittany. I must've made a mistake. My apologies.”
    • Brittany “Apology accepted. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go...take stock of our juice supply again.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Um... I couldn't help but notice that you've been consuming quite a lot of juice, Brittany.”
    • Brittany “What?! Nooo! Don't worry Alph! I'm dividing the portions up equally and only taking my fair share!”
    • Alph “R-really? That's OK then. I know we can count on you, Brittany.”
    • Brittany “(Yikes! Looks like I'll have to be extra careful from now on...)”

Small talk 8

  • US text:
    • Charlie “So, Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?”
    • Alph “Yes, the ship is actually named after him, too. His name is Drake.”
    • Brittany “Really? So engineering skills run in your family, eh, Alph?”
    • Alph “Yep. I learned an awful lot watching my grandfather work while I was growing up.”
    • Charlie “Well, I'm sure you've made him quite proud, son.”
    • Brittany “Now let's make him prouder by returning home with some food! Is that a word? "Prouder"?”
    • Alph “It is and I will!”
  • Europe text:
    • Charlie “So Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?”
    • Alph “Yes, the ship is actually named after him, too. His name is Drake.”
    • Brittany “Really? So that must be why you're so mechanically inclined, Alph.”
    • Alph “Yep. I grew up watching my grandfather work, you see.”
    • Charlie “Well, I'm sure you've made him quite proud.”
    • Brittany “Now make him even prouder by returning home with some food!”
    • Alph “Absolutely!”

Small talk 9

  • US text:
    • Alph “Why do you think the Pikmin carry those yummy fruits back to the ship for us rather than eating them?”
    • Brittany “Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and native life-forms. They don't seem interested in fruit. But it's all so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.”
    • Charlie “Well, that's perfect for us, don't you think? If they started eating our fruit, we'd be in quite an awful predicament!”
    • Alph “We're lucky that they're such hard workers...and that they don't seem to like fruit.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Why do you think the Pikmin carry this delicious fruit back to the ship for us? Why don't they eat it?”
    • Brittany “Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and creatures. They don't seem interested in fruit at all.”
    • Brittany “But fruit is so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.”
    • Charlie “Well that's perfect for us, don't you think? If they started carrying dead creatures back to the Drake, things would get horribly cluttered!”
    • Alph “We're lucky that they're such hard workers.”

Small talk 10

  • US text:
    • Brittany “Those Pikmin are so brave and loyal.”
    • Brittany “When I think about them fighting and risking their lives for us, it just tugs at my heartstrings.”
    • Charlie “Yes. Loyalty. Dedication. I've always said that these are the most important things in life!”
    • Alph “I thought you said that food was the most important thing in life, Captain?”
    • Charlie “Well, yes, of course, food, too.”
    • Alph “And what about family? Or friends? Those are pretty important too, don't you think?”
    • Charlie “Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, Alph.”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “Those Pikmin are so brave and loyal.”
    • Brittany “When I think about them fighting and risking their lives for us, it just tugs at my heartstrings.”
    • Charlie “Yes. Loyalty. Dedication. I've always said that these are the most important things in life!”
    • Alph “What about food, Captain?!”
    • Charlie “Well, yes, of course, food, too.”
    • Alph “And what about family? And friends? Those are pretty important too, don't you think?”
    • Charlie “Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, Alph.”

Small talk 11

  • US text:
    • Alph “Pikmin always seem to do things in groups. They appear to have a strong sense of camaraderie.”
    • Brittany “Hmm... I'm not sure about that.”
    • Brittany “They do things together because they're following orders, right?”
    • Charlie “It's not camaraderie. That's loyalty!”
    • Charlie “I always say, the most important thing in the world is loyalty!”
    • Alph “With all due respect, Captain, last night you said the most important thing in the world was dinner.”
    • Charlie “Yes, well...the juice was very good.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Pikmin always seem to do things in groups. I wonder if they have a strong sense of camaraderie.”
    • Brittany “Hmm... I don't know about that.”
    • Brittany “I mean, they do things together because they're following orders, right?”
    • Charlie “It doesn't appear to be the same kind of camaraderie we Koppaites have.”
    • Charlie “I'd risk my life to protect either of you if you were in danger!”
    • Charlie “Especially you, Britt—”
    • Alph “Thank you, Captain! That's awfully gallant of you!”
    • Charlie “Ahem, yes... Just leave it to me!”

Small talk 12

  • US text:
    • Alph “When we go back to Koppai, what do you suppose will happen to all the Pikmin?”
    • Brittany “I wonder that myself. It seems that we have played a part in the propagation of their species.”
    • Charlie “Slow down there, egghead! Maybe we've just been helping them reproduce!”
    • Brittany “Right... Or that.”
    • Charlie “So...if that's the case, then what will happen when we leave?”
    • Brittany “Perhaps one of us should stay behind...Captain.”
    • Charlie “That would be interesting. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for some beachfront property...”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “When we go back to Koppai, what do you suppose will happen to all the Pikmin?”
    • Brittany “I wonder that myself. After all, it's only through our leadership that they've been able to propagate.”
    • Brittany “Therefore, when we leave...”
    • Charlie “Brittany... I know what you're thinking...”
    • Charlie “Though it pains me to say this, the fate of the leaderless is a bleak fate indeed.”
    • Brittany “Perhaps you should stay here with the Pikmin then, Captain?”
    • Charlie “Err... What?”

Small talk 13

  • US text:
    • Brittany “What's the story behind your hair, Alph? It's pretty crazy.”
    • Alph “Huh? Oh, this hairstyle is called a Chuck cut.”
    • Brittany “Of course it is.”
    • Alph “My barber offers a special on the Captain Charlie haircut.”
    • Alph “Anyway, this version is a take on the classic. Not too wild, not too crazy, and very "of the moment."”
    • Brittany “You do know it's a mohawk, right?”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “What's the story behind your hair, Alph? It's pretty crazy.”
    • Alph “Huh? Oh, this hairstyle is called a Floppy Charlie.”
    • Brittany “(But, of course!)”
    • Alph “Since the Captain is so famous on Koppai, lots of barbers offer a variety of Charlie cuts.”
    • Alph “Anyway, this version is a play on the classic Charlie. It's not too wild and it's very up to date!”
    • Brittany “Hmm... It's basically just a mohawk, isn't it?”

Small talk 14

  • US text:
    • Brittany “Hey, Alph? What's going on with the Drake's emergency-ejection system? I think it's too sensitive.”
    • Alph “Agreed. That seems to be part of the design, unfortunately.”
    • Alph “You shouldn't have been ejected into the tundra the other day.”
    • Brittany “Don't you think it's a bit dangerous for the autoeject to kick in because of a little turbulence!”
    • Alph “I do! We should have someone look at that!”
    • Alph “You want me to look at it, don't you?”
    • Brittany “If it wouldn't be too much trouble!”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “Hey, Alph? What's going on with the Drake's emergency ejection system? I think it's too sensitive.”
    • Alph “Agreed. That seems to be part of the design, unfortunately.”
    • Alph “The other day, your chair shouldn't have ejected you out into the tundra like that.”
    • Brittany “Don't you think it's a bit dangerous for the auto-eject to kick in because of a little turbulence!”
    • Alph “I do! We should have someone look at that! Oh... You want me to look at it, don't you?”
    • Brittany “If it wouldn't be too much trouble!”

Small talk 15

  • US text:
    • Brittany “Sometimes I wish I could program my brain to be more effective when it comes to multitasking...”
    • Alph “Maybe I could work on that for you, Brittany! I am an engineer, after all.”
    • Charlie “You keep your hands off her brain! We need Brittany in top form if we are to complete our mission!”
    • Charlie “Brittany, multitasking is easy! All you have to do is issue precise commands in a loud voice.”
    • Charlie “If you're unsure about something, don't let that stop you! Keep talking. Eventually, you'll be right!”
    • Alph “Wow! What great advice, Captain!”
    • Brittany “This does not bode well for the future of our mission...”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “Sometimes I wish I could programme my brain to be better at multi-tasking.”
    • Alph “Maybe I could work on that for you, Brittany! I am an engineer, after all.”
    • Charlie “You keep your hands off her brain! We need Brittany in top form if we are to complete our mission!”
    • Charlie “Look, Brittany, multi-tasking is easy! All you have to do is issue precise commands in a loud voice.”
    • Charlie “And if you feel unsure of yourself, don't let that stop you! Keep talking. Eventually, you'll be right!”
    • Alph “Wow! What great advice, Captain!”
    • Brittany “(This doesn't bode well for the future.)”

Small talk 16

  • US text:
    • Alph “You know, there's something I've been wondering about all this time.”
    • Alph “That rubber ducky floating around? Is that yours, Brittany?”
    • Brittany “Are you joking?”
    • Charlie “That's mine, thank you very much! My rubber ducky goes everywhere with me.”
    • Charlie “I can't sleep a wink without this little guy!”
    • Alph “So, it's a security ducky, Captain?”
    • Brittany “I guess under that tough exterior, the captain's just a big softie!”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “You know, there's something I've been wondering about this entire trip.”
    • Alph “That rubber duck toy floating around... Is it yours, Brittany?”
    • Brittany “You must be joking! What would I want with a piece of junk like that?”
    • Charlie “That's mine, thank you very much!”
    • Charlie “His name's Rubber Ducky, and he accompanies me on all of my adventures.”
    • Charlie “Don't know why, but I never can get a good night's sleep unless I know he's by my side.”
    • Alph “So it's a bit like a teddy bear, eh, Captain?”
    • Brittany “Yes, Alph. I think we get the idea.”

Small talk 17

  • US text:
    • Brittany “Alph. Why did you want to be a part of this mission?”
    • Alph “Because I wanted to meet the legendary ranger, Captain Charlie.”
    • Brittany “Really? Is that the only reason? Not because you wanted to help save Koppai?”
    • Alph “No, that too! But, you know, there are just so many legends out there about the captain's heroism!”
    • Alph “I mean, there's the legend of Operation: Rubber Ducky Stucky.”
    • Alph “And Operation: Rubber Ducky up a Tree.”
    • Alph “Not to mention Operation: Beached Rubber Ducky.”
    • Brittany “Well... I can see that you definitely did your research, Alph.”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “Alph. Why did you want to be a part of this mission?”

Small talk 18

  • US text:
    • Alph “The Hocotatians' space suits are similar to ours, aren't they?”
    • Brittany “Yes, well, I'm sure that our space programs probably shop at the same store.”
    • Charlie “Just remember, it's not the space of the suit but the space between your ears that matters.”
    • Brittany “I don't think you said that right.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Now I think about it, the Hocotatians' spacesuits are similar to ours, aren't they?”
    • Brittany “I remember seeing the same suit in the Star Bazaar catalogue!”
    • Alph “I bought my spacesuit from Star Bazaar too!”
    • Charlie “Their spacesuits seem to be popular everywhere.”
    • Brittany “That's right.”
    • Brittany “(I hate it when I end up wearing the same thing as everyone else...)”

Small talk 19

  • US text:
    • Alph “I'm surprised that there are Hocotatians on this planet.”
    • Alph “Are they here seeking treasure?”
    • Brittany “Possibly. I hear that planet has a lot of people who make their living off of treasure hunting.”
    • Alph “So we came here looking for a way to save our home planet...and they're here looking for treasure?”
    • Brittany “Yeah, must be nice, huh?”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “I'm surprised that there are Hocotatians on this planet.”
    • Alph “Are they here seeking treasure?”

    • Alph “So we came here looking for a way to save our home planet...and they're here looking for treasure?”
    • Brittany “Yeah, all right for some, eh?”

Small talk 20

  • US text:
    • Alph “When the sun sets, we take to the relative safety of the air...”
    • Alph “I wonder what it's like on the surface at night...”
    • Brittany “I would think the nocturnal animals might make it rather dangerous.”
    • Brittany “We definitely wouldn't be able to sleep easily, that's for certain.”
    • Alph “That's true. But I'm not really sleeping very well as it is, anyway. My stomach gurgles, you know...”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “When the sun sets, we take to the relative safety of the air...”
    • Alph “I wonder what it's like on the surface at night?”
    • Brittany “I would think the nocturnal creatures might make it rather dangerous.”
    • Brittany “We definitely wouldn't be able to sleep easily, that's for certain.”
    • Alph “Yes, you're probably right. I don't fancy ending up as a midnight snack for some ferocious beast!”

Small talk 21

  • US text:
    • Alph “I still can't shake this awful feeling that there was something more to our crash than we know...”
    • Alph “It felt almost as if some power from the planet's surface was manipulating our ship...”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “I still can't shake this nagging feeling that there was something more to our crash than we know.”
    • Alph “It felt almost as if some power from the planet's surface were manipulating our ship...”

Small talk 22

  • US text:
    • Brittany “Even if we bring these seeds back to Koppai, what's to stop another food crisis from happening?”
    • Charlie “If we continue consuming without any foresight, we're gonna have to do this whole thing over again!”
    • Alph “But what if we can't find another PNF-404? We need to create a responsible process of consumption.”
    • Alph “And I think working with the Pikmin has taught us how to do that.”
    • Brittany “Hee hee... Maybe you should run for office when we get back to Koppai, Alph!”
  • Europe text:
    • Brittany “Even if we take these seeds back to Koppai, what's to stop another food crisis from happening?”
    • Charlie “Exactly. If we continue just to mindlessly consume food without any planning or foresight, this whole cycle will simply repeat...”
    • Alph “And if we can't find another PNF-404, we'll really be in trouble!”
    • Alph “What we need is to set up a sustainable cycle of production and consumption on Koppai.”
    • Alph “And I think working with the Pikmin has taught us how to do that.”
    • Brittany “Hee hee... Maybe you should stand for election when we get back to Koppai, Alph!”

Small talk 23

  • US text:
    • Alph “Hocotate... Hocotate...? Is that the place with the Pikpik carrots?”
    • Brittany “It sure is! These Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik carrots!”
    • Brittany “Of course! That's why the Hocotatian calls them Pikmin! I can't believe I just realized that!”
    • Alph “I'm not a big fan of vegetables.”
    • Alph “And I certainly don't think I could ever eat a Pikpik carrot now with this bit of information.”
  • Europe text:
    • Alph “Hocotate... Hocotate...? That's the place with the Pikpik Carrots, right?”
    • Brittany “It certainly is! You know, the Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik Carrots.”
