List

Small talk 1

  • US text:
    •   What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.
    •   Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.
    •   You have an older sister back home, right?
    •   Yeah, and 12 older brothers. I miss our family dinners...
    •   ...Your family dinners must have been chaotic.
    •   If we come back empty handed, there aren't going to be any more family dinners on Koppai!
    •   That's such an odd motivational tactic, Captain. But yes, I guess you're right. Let's go!

    •   What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.
    •   Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.
    •   You've got an older sister and a little brother, right?
    •   Yes, well remembered! Although you're forgetting my 12 older brothers... I'm the 14th of 15 kids!
    •   Wow! That is a BIG family!
    •   Dinner time at our house was always so much fun...
    •   And quite chaotic, I would imagine...
    •   It's important for us to remember we're here to save all of Koppai, including our families!
    •   So for our planet, and for our families, let's take home all the food we can!
    •   Let's do it!

Small talk 2

  • US text:
    •   Has anyone else been hearing that strange noise? I haven't been able to sleep a wink.
    •   Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the S.S. Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
    •   I haven't heard anything...
    •   Do you think, maybe...that this noise could be somebody's growling stomach?Maybe yours, Captain?
    •   I won't deny I'm hungry, but this noise sounds more like a—
    •   GROOOOOOWL!
    •   ...Very hungry wild beast.
    •   Is everyone OK?
  • Europe text:

    •   Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the SS Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
    •   I haven't heard anything...
    •   Do you think, maybe... that the noise could be a rumbling tummy?
    •   Maybe yours, Captain?
    •   I won't deny I'm hungry, but this sounds more like a wild beast!
    •   GROOOOOOWL!
    •   A very HUNGRY wild beast!
    •   Yes, we'd best keep our wits about us...

Small talk 3

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

Small talk 4

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

    •   Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.
    •   Wow! Good thing we have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!
    •   But... Does that mean if we remain deployed here, we'll become giants as well?!
    •   No, our space suits will regulate our oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.
    •   I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...

    •   But...does that mean if we stay here too long, we'll turn into giants too?!
    •   No, our spacesuits will regulate the oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.
    •   I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...

Small talk 5

  • US text:
    •   The Onion appears to grow each time it merges with another Onion.
    •   Perhaps it's to incorporate a larger number of Pikmin.
    •   They're effective at maximizing their space. They must be very tidy creatures. And good at dusting.
    •   Maybe we'll find some mop Pikmin to help us clean the ship!
  • Europe text:
    •   So I noticed this recently, but the Onion gets a little bigger whenever a new Onion fuses with it.
    •   Even so, it's amazing how such a large army of Pikmin can fit in there.
    •   They must be great at maximising their space. Maybe they're good at cleaning too? And dusting?
    •   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:
    •   It looks like the SPERO probe was correct! This planet is teeming with edible matter!
    •   And everything is packed with so much more nutritional value than what we have back on Koppai!
    •   Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat! Lots of them, actually!
    •   I can't wait to be hailed as a hero bearing nutrient-packed seeds of healthy, race-saving deliciousness!
  • Europe text:
    •   Just like the SPERO probe reported, this planet is bursting with edible matter!
    •   And it all has so much more nutritional value than anything back on Koppai.
    •   Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat!
    •   Let's take back as much fruit as possible!

Small talk 7

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

Small talk 8

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

Small talk 9

  • US text:
    •   Why do you think the Pikmin carry those yummy fruits back to the ship for us rather than eating them?
    •   Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and native life-forms. They don't seem interested in fruit.{0E0017000200020010}But it's all so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.
    •   Well, that's perfect for us, don't you think? If they started eating our fruit, we'd be in quite an awful predicament!
    •   We're lucky that they're such hard workers...and that they don't seem to like fruit.
  • Europe text:
    •   Why do you think the Pikmin carry this delicious fruit back to the ship for us? Why don't they eat it?
    •   Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and creatures. They don't seem interested in fruit at all.
    •   But fruit is so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.
    •   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!
    •   We're lucky that they're such hard workers.

Small talk 10

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

    •   And what about family? And friends? Those are pretty important too, don't you think?
    •   Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, Alph.

Small talk 11

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

Small talk 12

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

Small talk 13

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

Small talk 14

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

Small talk 15

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

    •   Look, Brittany, multi-tasking is easy! All you have to do is issue precise commands in a loud voice.
    •   And if you feel unsure of yourself, don't let that stop you! Keep talking. Eventually, you'll be right!
    •   Wow! What great advice, Captain!
    •   (This doesn't bode well for the future.)

Small talk 16

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

Small talk 17

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

Small talk 18

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

Small talk 19

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

    •   Yeah, all right for some, eh?

Small talk 20

  • US text:
    •   When the sun sets, we take to the relative safety of the air...
    •   I wonder what it's like on the surface at night...
    •   I would think the nocturnal animals might make it rather dangerous.
    •   We definitely wouldn't be able to sleep easily, that's for certain.
    •   That's true. But I'm not really sleeping very well as it is, anyway. My stomach gurgles, you know...

    •   Yes, you're probably right. I don't fancy ending up as a midnight snack for some ferocious beast!

Small talk 21

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

Small talk 22

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

Small talk 23

  • US text:
    •   Hocotate... Hocotate...? Is that the place with the Pikpik carrots?
    •   It sure is! These Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik carrots!
    •   Of course! That's why the Hocotatian calls them Pikmin! I can't believe I just realized that!
    •   I'm not a big fan of vegetables.
    •   And I certainly don't think I could ever eat a Pikpik carrot now with this bit of information.
  • Europe text:
    •   Hocotate... Hocotate...? That's the place with the Pikpik Carrots, right?
    •   It certainly is! You know, the Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik Carrots.
    •   In fact...that must be why the Hocotatian called them Pikmin! I can't believe I didn't realise!
    •   Oh, I get it now. I'm not a big fan of vegetables, though...
    •   And anyway, I certainly don't think I could ever eat a Pikpik Carrot now!

Small talk 24

  • US text:
    •   ...
    •   What is it, Captain? Are you OK?
    •   Oh yes, I... I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you two.
    •   I've never enjoyed giving orders... as much as I have...since we—
    •   I know how you feel, Captain! I feel the same way! Well, I mean, about following your orders.
    •   It's an absolute honor to work with one of Koppai's greatest legends!
    •   Yes...I suppose it would be. I guess I should say you're welcome, Alph. And...thank you. Truly.
  • Europe text:
    •   ...
    •   What is it, Captain? Are you OK?
    •   Oh yes, I... I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you two.

    •   You? Ate vegetables? I can hardly believe it!
    •   It was my duty as a botanist. But those carrots aren't really suited to the Koppaite palate.
