Crisp Vegetables

GourmOh, hello... Yes, I'm a Cook... I've found myself in a real pickle, actually...
GourmI promised some Farmers that I'd treat them to a particular meal.
GourmBut I just realized I don't have enough Radishes...
GourmMy mind went blank... And now here I am, venting to a complete stranger...
GourmWould you be so kind as to help me out and bring me some Radishes?
GourmPlease bestow upon me some crisp, crunchy Radishes...
GourmUrgh... People are going to gossip about me. I can hear them now. "That Gourm's cooking just isn't up to standards."
GourmYou brought me what I asked for! Can I have them?
GourmGreat... The Farmers will be so pleased!
GourmThis is to thank you for saving me from culinary disaster!
GourmS-Sorry. I didn't prepare a response for if you said no.
GourmI-I get nervous when people stare at me... I'd appreciate it if you were a little sparing with the eye contact...

Source of the Spice

GourmHah. Can I ask you for a very small favor? I bet you're getting fed up with me now.
GourmI've been testing out a new super-spicy dish with Crimson Carrot as the principal ingredient. But now, I'm all out...
Gourm...I need some more Crimson Carrots in order to reach the spiciness I'm aiming for.
GourmYou'll probably think I'm shameless, but I'm going to say it anyway.
GourmI'd be so pleased if you could fetch those ingredients for me...
GourmIf you could provide me with some Crimson Carrots, it'd spice up my day.
GourmOh! Pardon me if I'm reading too far into this, but are you about to give me my missing ingredients?!
GourmAhh, you've brought a tear to my eye! With these, I should be able to create the ultimate spicy dish...
GourmThis is to thank you for bringing some extra zing to my dish!

You Can Eat the Whiskers, Too

GourmI'm sure that'd give it a new, interesting texture... Hmm...
GourmDid you hear? I'm creating a new dish that's going to blow everyone's minds.
GourmI've been looking for new textures to incorporate, and I sense that the Dandy Potato has potential.
GourmThe only problem is, you don't come across them very often. I'm wondering if I should give up...
GourmI realize this is a long shot, but could you get some for me, by any chance?
GourmDandy Potatoes... With nice mustaches, if possible.
GourmI-I can barely believe it. You found them! Let me take those off your hands!
GourmThank you. I can't believe a complete stranger would go to all that effort for me. Urgh, I can feel myself welling up...
GourmWonderful! I'll make a dish so fantastic that it'll make everyone's chin hair stand on end!

Big Fish!

ReelumHello. How's it going? Are the fish biting?
ReelumI haven't even had a nibble!
ReelumI want to catch some Swordfish, but I'm really having trouble grabbing them by the tail!
ReelumThat was a metaphor, by the way. I use a proper Fishing Rod.
ReelumIf you come by some, would you be willing to sell them to me?
ReelumI'll hold onto my Dosh until you come back with those Swordfish.
ReelumGah... I guess swimming out to sea is my only option...
ReelumThat's the fish! Let me buy them off you!
ReelumLook at its pointy sword! Or its bill, if I were to use the correct term. This is exactly what I was looking for!
ReelumImagine a rice bowl with this fine specimen piercing valiantly through it.
ReelumMy impressive new dish will perfectly capture the essence of the Tropica Isles!
ReelumArgh... I guess you and that fish have a bond that Dosh can't break.
ReelumPeople who come to the Tropica Isles should try food that doesn't just taste like a work of art, but looks like one, too.

Dark Fish!

ReelumHello, tourist. Can I ask you a question?
ReelumWhy aren't those Bass of Darkness biting?!
ReelumSorry, I was trying to sound convincing. The truth is, I haven't even spotted one yet.
ReelumI want to use some in my new dish. Can I ask you for another favor?
ReelumI'll wait here patiently until you come back with 3 Bass of Darkness.
ReelumAre you a famous Angler? Let me buy those fish!
ReelumLook at those vacant eyes. A dish with this guy's head on top would make quite an impact, don't you think?
ReelumI know how to capture a tourist's heart. Heh.

Gold Fish!

ReelumDo you ever get the urge to push yourself to your limits? That's how I feel right now.
ReelumI want to use some Golden Swordfish to create a superb dish. One that's never been done before.
ReelumCustomers will start flocking to our island from far and wide. Can I count on you to help me out?
ReelumGolden Swordfish, huh? I'm getting nervous, and I'm not even the one fetching them.
ReelumI-I've never seen such a creature! Let me buy those fish off you!
ReelumWith this, I'll be able to create an amazing new dish! At least, that was my initial thought.
ReelumHonestly, you're the amazing one for bringing me this fish. Is my cooking good enough to do it justice?
ReelumI'll put these fish aside for now. I'm sure I'll get the chance to turn them into art eventually.

A Rare Vegetable

TheeseIt's me, the best chef on Swolean Island! I've devoted my life to perfecting the ultimate dish.
TheeseThere's this one cooking competition in which all the best chefs will be taking part in, but I'm confident that I can win.
TheeseWhat will my winning dish be? None other than my whimsical stew, of course. It's melt-in-the-mouth délicieux!
TheeseSo listen, apprentice—I mean, friend! I'd like some Gourdy Pumpkins to add some color to my stew, s'il vous plaît!
TheeseGourdy Pumpkins are a must-have, you see? I'm throwing this stew together on a whim, so I can't even imagine how it's going to turn out!
TheeseThe road to culinary greatness cannot be built in a day! My cooking skills are first class, but I should work on my people skills, oui?
TheeseI have been waiting for this, yes! I'm going to simmer the pumpkins right in the pot.
TheeseVictory is mine! This is exactly what I wanted. I can already see myself winning! Merci beaucoup, friend!
TheeseTheese is a disappointment. I'm going to go and sob in my kitchen...
TheeseLife and cooking, they are the same, you see? They can be ruined in an instant by the unpredictable.

An Even Rarer Vegetable

TheeseRemember that cooking competition I told you about? Disastrously, I was eliminated in the preliminaries! Whatever did I do wrong?
TheeseStill, I need to keep my chin up. Next, I shall enter a gourmet dish competition!
TheeseI'm going to compete with my specialty dish, Cabbage Rolls!
TheeseSo, my dear commis—I mean, friend! This time, I would like some sweet and tasty Gemini Cabbages.
TheeseFor a Cook like me, Cabbage Rolls are my raison d'être! I look forward to seeing those tasty, sweet Gemini Cabbages.
TheeseI have been waiting for this, yes! These Gemini Cabbages will be my ticket to victory!
TheeseI'm sure I will win this time! I can already envisage the judges welling up with tears once they taste my cooking. Merci beaucoup.

Veggie Tears

TheeseThe gourmet dish competition turned me away at the door! I was shocked—I could barely drag myself out of bed after such a defeat.
TheeseStill, I cannot sulk forever! Next, I'm going to enter a local amateur cooking competition!
TheeseI'm going back to basics and cooking my eye-wateringly délicieux Onion Soup. I ate it all the time when I was just starting out.
TheeseSo, sous-chef—I mean, friend! This time, I would like some Nearly Invisible Teardrops to use as the magical seasoning.
TheeseAs a Doshless rookie Cook, nothing tasted as magnifique as my head chef's Onion Soup. Those tears are the key to recreating that flavor!
TheeseI have been waiting for this, yes! A beautiful teardrop, shining like the soul of a pure-hearted Cook, yes?
TheeseYou know what? I don't care about winning anymore! It's not prestige that makes a Cook happy, but the smiles on the faces of those who eat their food.
