This is a one-of-a-kind game created by Nintendo. It is a communication game where you take the role of a boy/girl that makes his/her home in a village with animal residents. The game follows real time by taking the clock info from the Gamecube's Internal Clock and applying it to the game. The game changes depending on the time of day and what season it is. Up to four people can have their own character in the village. The game takes up a whole memory card, but don't worry, the game has one included for just that reason. This game has lots of things to do and will keep you playing throughout the whole year, and many years to come. This FAQ was created for the US release of the game which will come out September 16, 2002. Most of this info is based on what is known about what will be in the US release. Some things are taken from the Japanese version and will be changed once the game is released. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, error reports, etc, mail me at [email protected]. Oh, and from here on out, Animal Crossing will be abbreviated to AC. Happy Crossings...

You are visited by a strange cat named Rover that asks you a few questions. These questions start off your character and set the time correctly. Here's what he says. Q1. "Excuse me, can you tell me if I have the right time?" He then tells the time from Gamecube's Internal Clock. 1.That's right. - The game keeps the time the same. 2.No, that's off. - This lets you adjust the time. Q2.

The cat then goes to call Tom Nook to meet you at the train station in the town. He then comes back, say a few things, and then leaves. The train soon arrives. The train pulls into X Town Station. You are greeted by Porter as you enter the town for the first time. You can now move your character using the analogue control stick. Leave the train and meet up with Tom Nook. He'll show you around the town, and then take you to the square. You are given a choice of four houses. Go up to a house open the door and take a look inside. The houses will be pretty empty as you start the game. The four houses are all the same except for the textures on the walls and floor. They each include a desk and a radio. The desk has a calendar that you can use to see when certain holidays occur and you'll be able to make diary entries. When you exit the house, Tom Nook will ask you a question. Q1Well, What do you think? How was it, hm? 1.Yea, it suits me. - You want to buy this house. Jump to Q1a Q1a.Are you sure? 1a.Yes - You will buy the house. He tells you the house is 19,800 Bells(the local currency). Your inventory screen pops up automatically and your savings of 1,000 Bells is given to Tom Nook. This isn't enough, but Tom Nook is nice enough to let you you pay him back over time. He even lets you lessen your payment off by working for him. 2a.No - You go back to house selecting. 2.It's not very good. - You get to look at another house. After selecting a house, you are free to do ust about anything you want. Take some time to look around the town and meet the locals. I-----------------------------------\ I--06.Head on Down to Town----------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ When you Start up a game, the town is randomly set up, with houses and the river put in various places. The town is made up of a grid of 5x6 squares. When you reach the edge of a square in the grid, the camera will scroll across quickly, like in the NES, SNES, and Gameboy Zelda games. The residential houses can vary, but there are a few buildings and things that are in every town. 01. There will be four houses in one square, one for each of the people that play the game. This is where you make your home. More on this in the next section. 02. Every person in the town has his/her own home. You can visit their homes to talk to them and look at their stuff. You can't steal from them and some people don't like you barging into their home. Visit people to get to know them and be their friend. You can ask for jobs to help raise money for your debt. The people will move in and out of town every few days. After a while, people won't be in their homes all the time and be all over the villiage. The town's people also go to bed at around 10:00PM and won't allow you into their homes until the next morning. Visit people often. 03. The Garbage Dump is one of the places you will visit quite often. You'll find all of the town people's unwanted items here. You might even find items that you sold to Tom Nook here. Everything you find here is yours for the taking. You'll find lots of textures and useful items here. You can also put your own unwanted items here for the other gamers to take. 04. The Post Office is a place where you will visit at least once a week. Here you will pay off your debt to Tom Nook and mail letters. You can also go here to check on how much money you still owe to Tom Nook. You will get your mail in the morning, but if you have five or more pieces of mail, they will be delivered to you at any time you go to the post office. The maximum number of letters you can save is 160, and you can only hold 10 at a time. 05. The Able Sisters Shop is also one of the places you will want to go to often. Here you can create new textures for your character to put on his clothes, umbrella, and many other things. More information in the Texture section. They are open from 7:00AM to 2:00AM. 06. The Museum is a place where you can donate things to be displayed. In the course of the game you will dig up various fossils, catch fish and bugs, and find paintings to add to the museum. You don't get any reward for giving stuff to the museum, but it will free up room in your home. 07. The Police Station is anoher place to get things for free. There is a lost and found there and you can claim anything you want. Even though its not your stuff they'll give it to you. You'll find many things here that will be helpful to you. 08. Tom Nook's shop, "Nook's Cranny," is the place you will probably visit the most. This is where you go in the beginning to find out what part-time jobs Tom wants you to partake in. You cannot buy or sell anything until you have completed the part-time jobs to pay off part of your dept. Here you can also buy and sell items. As you enter, Tom greets you and follows you around as you browse through the items in the shop. Most items that you have already had can be bought from the catalog, while items that are new are on the storeshelves. If you buy from the shelf, the item will be sold out and Tom will restock the next day. Tom's shop changes twice. At first its alitle shop open on a scheduled time of 9:00AM to 10:00PM. It changes to a larger 24 hour conveniance store. Its final form is a gib supermarket that goes back to a regular scedule. 09. The Wishing Well is a place to visit for a number of different reasons. If you have undelivered items for animals that have moved out of the village, this is where you go to drop that item off. 10. The Message Board is located in the middle of the square the four player houses are. Here you can read about upcoming events and leave messages for other players to see. It also gives clues on treasure hunt days. It can hold a maximum of 15 messages. 11. The Melody Board is the place where you can change the town song to whatever you desire, as long as its 10 notes or less. More info in the Melody Section. 12. Trees are all over the town and do more than you might think. Some trees grow various fruitthat you can eat or sell. If you shake a tree, you will either get an item such as fruit, bells, and various other items, or an attack of angry bees that sting your face. You can also chop trees down and dig up their stumps to clear the way or make room to grow new trees. To grow a tree, dig a hole and choose a fruit. Then re-cover the hole with dirt and a tree will grow. The trees are also change to match the season. In winter time the trees have twinkly lights that blink. In Spring time the trees have falling lightly colored leaves. In summer the leaves are golden. I fall the trees are a crisp brown. 13. Cracks in the ground tell you that there's something buried in the ground. Use your trusted shovel to find out what it is. You can find buried money, items, and statues of the item holder from the front of your house. 14. Shining Spots are found in the town once per day and contain money. The amount varies. 15. Rocks appear on the map randomly each day. Hit the rocks with your shovel a few times for some extra moneybags. I-----------------------------------\ I--07.Home Sweet Home---------------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ Your house, your home, your pride and joy, your debt, all these desribe the place where you live your life in the wonderful world of Animal Crossing. Here you can set up furniture, change the decor, and turn the lights on/off. Your house goes through five different stages. When you start, your house is better described as a closet. It has one small room with a desk, a radio, and a light. When your debt is finally paid, your house gets upgraded a second time and gets larger with a larger debt. Once that debt is paid, you'll get a huge house with a huge debt. When that debt is paid, a basement is added under your house, but with it comes an even bigger debt. When you finally pay off that debt your house is upgraded a fifth and final time with the biggest debt yet. When you are done with paying your final debt, your character does its pose and you're free of debt for good. Outside your house, there are a few things for you to use. 1.Your Mailbox is where you get your mail. Mail will be moved to the mail section of the inventory screen, if there's enough room. Sometimes, mail will jave a gift attached. This is shown by a small gift box next to the letter. If there's room in your inventory, when you open the letter, you can drop the gift into the regular inventory screen. 2.Your home's Caretaker is a little statue-looking thing that lets you do some things. Talk to it to get the menu.

I-----------------------------------\ I--08.I am in Your Debt-------------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ When you buy your first house, you will be endebted to Tom Nook for the cost of the house. You will have to do some jobs for Tom to earn some Bells that go towards the payment. You also need to do these jobs to be able to buy or sell from Tom Nook or the Able Sisters or get jobs from other people. After doing a job you can return to Tom Nook to get paid and learn what else he wants you to do. He will only tell you once what he wants you to do, so you better remember, unless you don't mind waiting until the next day to find out what he wants. When you are ready to start working, visit Tom Nook and he'll tell you what he wants you to do. You'll then change into your work clothes and then its time to get busy. Job.1 - The first job Tom Nook gives you is to plant flowers outside of his shop. You need at least ten slots open in your inventory, otherwise you won't be able to get the flowers to plant. Find places in the front of the store and plant the flowers by selecting them from your inventory and dropping them anywhere you want. After planting the flowers, return to Tom Nook. He'll say, "Did you do a good job? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I guess it doesn't matter. I won't be the one getting laughed at." Job.2 - The second job Tom Nook gives you is to deliver an item to an animal in the town. He'll tell you the location of the house and all you have to do is give it to them. Tom Nook will give you a map as well as take off some of your payment for all your hard work. Job.3 - Your third job from Tom Nook is writing a letter to one of the animals in the town. He'll give you some paper and tell you who the letter is for. Go to the inventory screen and select the paper and choose write. Select the character Tom Nook specified and then start writing. Write whatever you want, these animals can't read. Next, head over to the post office to have it sent out. Job.4 - Job number four is to get aquainted with the town's people. Talk to everyone that lives in the town and get to know them. You'll now be able to get jobs from these people as well. You don't need to talk to the people in the Museum, Police Station, Post Office, Able Sisters Shop, or The Shrine. Job.5 - The fifth job is the same as the second job Tom Nook gave you. You need to give an item to an animal in the town and all you need to do is give the item to them. Tom Nook will give you the location of the person to give it to. Job.6 - The sixth job is to write a bulletin on the bulletin board about the store. It doesn't really matter what you write, but why not follow what he wants by writing something like "Come to Tom Nook's Store!". After these six jobs are done, your character will do a little pose and now you will know how to do some basic things and you will be aquainted with the people of the town.(If you used the memory card included with AC, jump down to section 15 for a bonus) Your debt isn't paid yet, so you'll have to find other means to get the money to pay it off. To pay off the rest, go to the post office. Other animals will give you some tasks to do to get some money. Job.1 - Most animals will ask you to deliver something to another animal. Just take the item and go to the animal to give it to them. Job.2 - Another job that you will get is to send a letter. Just go to the post office and send it off.

It costs 980 bells to make a texture in the gamecube village and nothing at all to make the textures on the software downloaded to the gameboy advance. You get to design a 32x32 pixel square to use as a texture for your clothing, umbrella, walls, floor, door, signs, and flags. On your clothes, it is applied to the front, back, sleeves, and once on the male's hat and twice on the female's hat. On the umbrella the texture is repeated 6 times. On the walls it can be repeated or one big image. On the floor it can be repeated or one big image. On the door it is on the front and back. On signs it is on the front.

Approach it and press A to go into the Melody Board options screen. You will find three options here: Download Song from the E-reader, Listen to Current Song, and Write Your Own Song. When writing your own song, you should note that you can have full, 1/2, and 1/4 notes. The melody can include ten notes. There are three main parts in the scale:Top, Middle, and Bottom. In the Top you can choose from:?,E,D,and C. In the Middle you can choose from:B,A,G,F,E,D,and C. And finally, at the Bottom you can choose from:B,A,G,-,and silent. I-----------------------------------\ I--14.Tools of the Trade------------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ Another one of the unique and interactive features is the ability to trade items with people that could be half way around the world from where you are. The game generates a two-lined password that you then e-mail or tell your friend on the phone and they then input the code into their game and they get the item. The password is only one line if you are sending an item to a villager in your town. Here's how to do it: First, find an item that you'd like to give to your friend. Mabe your friend would like a new fruit, or an NES game that he doesn't have. Take that item and go visit Tom Nook. Ask him to "Tell me a Code." Tom Nook will then say, "Tell me the name the name of the village and the person you're sending the item to." You then enter the names in and Tom Nook will ask you to confirm. After giving him the information he will ask you for the item you'd like to send to your friend. Select the item and give it to him. He then gives you the code. Write it down and give it to your friend. If your friend has given you a code, you have to go to Tom Nook to type it in. Go up to Tom Nook and tell him, "I have a Code." He'll ask you to Type in the code. After typing it in Correctly, Tom will hand you your new item. Now go have fun with whatever you got! Remember, the codes are CASE-SENSITIVE. Type it in EXACTLY as it is written. This goes for when you are typing in the info for your friend to when you are typing in the Code that your friend gave you. If your friend's name is "BOB", don't type in "bob". The same goes for the Town's name. You cannot, however, send everything. You cannot send Money, Texture, or Umbrellas.

Animal Crossing includes a wide library of some of the greatest NES games ever made, emulated to perfection. Two player mode is possible by adding another Controller, making the games more fun. The games can even be downloaded to the Gameboy Advance for fun on the go. Here are some of the available games, a short bio, and some strategies and hints to make the games easier. 01. Donkey Kong - 02. Pinball - 03. Golf - 04. Tennis - 05. Baseball - 06. Punchout - 07. Clu CLu Land - 08. Balloon Fight - 09. Donkey Kong Jr. Math - 10. Donkey Kong 3 - 11.Donkey Kong Jr. - I-----------------------------------\ I--19.Can You Keep A Secret?--------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ There are a few secrets in the game that can make it easier to get money and other stuff. 1.Money Does Grow on Trees Requirements:Shovel If you find a glowing spot, you'll uncover a bag of money, but dont just take it. Re-bury the bag and soon enough, you'll have your own MONEY TREE! This tree will yield three money bags of its own, each worth that of the original bag of money planted. Once all three bags are taken, the tree will die. You can find a new shining spot in the town in a random location each day. 2.I'll Need Your Signature on That Requirements:Special Memory Card Included with Animal Crossing Each Nintendo Gamecube Memory Cards has a hidden "signature" that decide certain things. The card included with AC has its own special "signature". If you use the AC memory card to save your game, you will get a letter from Hiroshi Yamauchi with a Grab bag. In the bag are two NES games and a KK Slider Song. 3.Bee Careful!!! Requirements:Bug-Catching Net Shaking trees will give you some very useful items. One of the most harmful is actually one of the best you can find. If you encounter a beehive while shaking trees, quickly take out your Bug-Catching Net and swipe the Beehive. If you're lucky, you'll catch a bee. You can add the bee to your collection at the Museum, or sell it for a whopping 4,500Bells. I-----------------------------------\ I--20.Don't Touch That Button!------->-----X I-----------------------------------/ Every time you end your game by resetting or turning off the system without choosing save and quit, the next tome you start, a certain mole will be there waiting for you. His name is Mr. Resetti. You don't want to mess with him. He will rant on for minutes, scolding you for not powering down correctly and won't stop until he thinks you learned your lesson. Here are some of his rants: 1."Hello. Um allow me to introduce myself. The names Resetti. Mr. Resetti. Have we met before? At the post office, perhaps? Yeah, whatever. Anyway, let me just say thanks for buying this game, Animal Crossing. Um on behalf of everyone at Nintendo, I um I What was the next part? Huh? Aw, forget it! Thats enough! Lets get down to business, whaddya say? Because you may not know it, but you and I got issues to discuss. First, let me tell you what it is Im doin here. Just so there are no misunderstandings later on. You, my friend, reset your game, didnt you? Huh? Maybe by accident, maybe on purpose, but you pressed it. Or maybe you didnt, huh? Maybe you just went and turned the power off without saving. Sound familiar? What? Sorry, what was that? I didnt catch that last bit. Did you just say Im right? You did what I said you did? Ah-HAH!!! All right, you listen and listen good, cause I get real angry when I gotta repeat stuff I gotta say. Resetting Its like pressing an emergency call button. You press it and I gotta come read you the riot act. See? Also, you gotta SAVE before you turn the power off. If you dont save, its the same as resetting. Well, ok That last part? I just added that. Why? Because I wanted to. Forget about other games for a minute, will ya? Im here to suggest that you try and play THIS game, Animal Crossing, without hitting RESET. Got it? I know what youre thinking: Whether I hit RESET or not should be up to me. After all, its MY Nintendo Gamecube! Well, sorry. Rules are rules, ok? Know what Im sayin? Lets not make a big deal out of this. End of discussion. This bein our first meeting, Im gonna let you off easy. Think of this as a friendly warning from me to you. Oh, one more thing. This is my job. I take it seriously. So next time you see me, its no more Mr. Nice Mole. Oh yeah, and another thing I guess I gotta say here I really watched my language here today. Im not usually quite so you know, so polite. If Im bein truthful here, I gotta tell you I been told I got what you call an acid tongue. I sorta scare people. Hey, thats who I am. Nothin I can do about it. What, Im supposed to say sorry for bein me? Look, its nothin personal. I aint tryin to be mean or cruel or nothin. I aint a monster. For those people you get their feelins bruised easily, I gotta apologize in advance. Just deal with it, ok? The deal is, I get paid to be nasty. Crazy world, huh? Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Well, I figure its about time for me to get outta here. So uh Yeah. Heres hoping I dont have to come see you no more. Now SCRAM!!!" 2."Listen, you get this whole reset thing started, and youll NEVER stop. I seen it a million times. You think this is a game? Well, ok it is a game. But games got rules, and rules got consequences. Somethin funny to you? What am I doin over here, stand-up? You see an APPLAUSE sign up in here? Look, dont make me come back here again. Im serious. It aint like I enjoy these little field trips. Next time you see me, Im gonna be wearing my angry hat. And lemme tell you, its one ugly hat. Trust me on this one. When I get my motor goin, youll be here a while. Dont reset again! Now SCRAM!!!" 3."YOU!!! So where you goin? Huh? Lemme ask you something. What did you just do? Yeah, Im talkin to you! What do I mean? What do I mean?? YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY?!?! Resetting! Im talkin about YOU resetting the game! Listen to me, (name). You think you can fool me? Youre foolin yourself. It aint gonna happen. See, its like this, all right? Whenever you reset, theres this light in the Reset Center that starts flashin ITS SO BRIGHT IT HURTS MY BRAIN! Now, dont get me wrong. I understand that you PEOPLE make mistakes. Its genetic or somethin. Who knows? Maybe your finger slipped. I dont know and I dont care. What I DO want is for you to do me a favor. Yeah, do me a favor and answer this one question. Pray tell, is there a RESET Button in your world? There isnt, is there? HUH? Of course not. That would be stupid. Not being able to do things over again? Thats called life, and you best get used to it. What? What was that? Its just a game? Dont make a big deal out of it? THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!! YOUR ATTITUDE! IT STINKS! Its just a game. Waaah! What is that? Ill tell you what it is. Its pathetic. You oughta be ashamed. Huh? Whats that? Speak up, you reset- happy cheater! You tellin me you never said that at all? Hmph. All right. Maybe I had some dirt in my ears. Forget about it. Lets move on. Lemme just give you some examples of what Im talkin about, ok? And make sure you PAY ATTENTION! Resetting over and over just to find an item or to erase an unfortunate incident ? Sound familiar? (name), this is just the kind of juvenile and disgustin style of gameplay that we want you to avoid. Wheres the satisfaction in cheatin through life? Take everythin as it comes. In its own time. Enjoy it all. Thats noble. Thats graceful. And its a whole lot easier to do in this game than it is in real life, lemme tell you! (sigh) I bet youre askin yourself, How much longer is this guy gonna go on? You are, arent you? Huh? Ahhh, whatever. Attention span of a flea, thats what you got. All this jawin \tired me out anyway. Im gonna let you go, for now, anyway. BUT you gotta promise me: no more. Im serious here. Resetting is completely OFF-LIMITS! Oh yeah, and one last thing: Take a bath! You got it? Now SCRAM!!!" 4."Hey, you! Hold up a minute! Who? You? You you YOU!!! Dont pretend you dont know who Im talkin to, (name)! You foolin nobody! Get your tail over here *I pretend to run away and ignore him, since I have control over my character briefly *. Where do you think youre going, you little twerp?! Now get over here! *I finally walk over *. Youre a real piece of work, you know that? You think I was Blathers or the mayor or somethin? When I call you, I expect you to move. And I mean MOVE! Um, what was that? That look you just gave me. What, may I ask, was that? Are you testin me? You dont wanna do that! Im warnin you! Youll rue the day you moved here! And dont gimme that crybaby what did I do? look either! It aint gonna fly!!! Not with THIS mole!!! RESET RESET RESET! You just had to do it again, didnt you? After all the kindness I been showin you You go and stab me in the back. What would your mother say? HEY! You were gonna go and do it again, werent you? Just now! Your finger was creepin over to reset! STOP! Just give it a rest, will ya? Thats not gonna help you outta this jam. Ill just keep comin back! And stop wigglin around like you gotta go potty! Youre drivin me nuts! Just stand there and listen! Im wastin my breath here, aint I? I mean, look at you. You You just dont listen. Is there somethin about this you maybe dont understand? Or is it just that you dont care at all? Is that it? Listen, (name). I COULD stop and leave it to you how to play. But where would that get us? Nowhere. How bout playin a fantasy without any epic battles, no fightin against the odds to save some magical realm? Wouldnt it be nice to just lat down you sword, pick a few pretty daisies, and just be nice? See my point? That aint life. And this aint a fantasy. Im just askin that you enjoy life here, and all of its hey LOOK AT ME WHEN IM TALKIN TO YOU! If you hadnt reset in the first place you wouldnt be here getting your tail chewed off! Ok, you aint got a tail, but its still your own fault! Whew You know, comin out heres no picnic for me, either. It really wears a mole out. You think Im jokin? Look at that tunnel, will ya? I have to dig one of those each and every time you reset! Im only one mole! So how about you and I stop wastin each others time? Whaddya say? NO MORE RESETTING! All right? We got an understanding? *I got an option to say Yes or No, and I chose Noof course lol.) Huh? What was that? I dont think I heard you right just now. Im gonna ask you again. So how about you and I stop wastin each others time? Whaddya say? NO MORE RESETTING! All right? We got an understanding? (I once again, chose No.) WHAT?!? AARGH!!! YOU MOCKIN ME?? If thats how you wanna be, then you just earned yourself the chance to hear me again from the beginnin! Yeah, you aint laughin now! You dont like that idea all that much, do ya, twerp? Well, I dont it either! So how about you and I stop wastin each others time? Whaddya say? NO MORE RESETTING! All right? We got an understanding? (I chose No until I got a different responsethese are all random responses, btw.) Hmmm What do I gotta do to get it through your thick skull? Dont you ever listen to what Im tellin you here? Be honest, you wanna get this over with and get back to the game, now, dont you? Am I right? . So how about you and I stop wastin each others time? Whaddya say? NO MORE RESETTING! All right? We got an understanding? (After pressing No numerous times, I heard no new responses, so I pressed Yes.) Well, all right, then! As long as were square, Im satisfied. BUT, this is the last time! So help me, if I gotta do this just one more time, theres gonna be BAD TROUBLE. Oh, and before I forget, theres one last thing: Your hair! Wash it!!! We clear? Now SCRAM!!!" 5.WAAHH!! Whats the deal with that thunder?! That really startled me bad! Seriously! Oh, umm, anyway, I oughta say its nice to meet you! Im Resettis older brother. My names Don. Yeah, my brother can be a real headcase. Thanks for puttin up with his, uh quirks. Yeah, quirks. So, Sonny had an urgent errand that he just couldnt pull himself away from. The guys like a mole dynamo. So I came in his place. Thanks for openin up time in your busy schedule to have a little talk with me. So anyway, if I might being at the beginnin It seems that out Sonnys been goin off the deep end once again. Hes been poppin up all over the place. You know, yellin at people, getting right in their faces, and causin havoc. On behalf of the family, I apologize. I know Im his brother, but Im sincere when I say that despite his uh outbursts hes uh hes a good kid. Hes a bit enthusiastic, and, uh kinda over bearin. You could even say hes pig-headed. Mole-headed? Either way, his social skills are real, real unpolished, and his choice of language is, shall we say, questionable. But dont forget his heart! Its in the right place! Trust me, there aint an evil bone in his body! So, uh, just let him have his little say, and shrug it off. Dont hold it against him. He dont get out much. Oh, yeah. Right. Business. I guess I gotta take care of a little business, right? I dont wanna get yelled at Ok, here goes nothin. Do re mi Ahem Ummm Resettin is no good! Dont do it, (name)! The Resettis suggest givin up your resettin ways for health reasons. Got it? Hmmm guess that should cover it. About time for me to make tunnels. See ya around. And good luck. Now SCRAM! 6.GRAAHH!! THINK YOUR GETTING AWAY WITH THAT? YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMIN!!! STOP RESETTING! HEAR ME? WHAT DONT YOU GET??? Haah Hoo Phew All that screamin at you everythin went all black You see what youre doin to me? To my health? Huh? You know, youre the only one who pushes it this far. The only one who fails to understand. ONLY YOU! You listenin to me? Cause it looks to me like I gotta go through this whole song and dance again. When the Reset Alarm sounds, somebodys gotta just drop everythin and investigate. And that somebodys ME! Yeah. I know. Its my job, and I gotta deal with it. I aint lookin for sympathy! But for cryin out loud It dont matter if Im eatin, takin a hot mud bath, readin Mole Monthly, or catchin some Zs When that alarm goes off, I gotta stop what Im doin and start diggin like it was National Diggin Day! I know you cant see it from up there, but Im only wearin one sock! One! Who lives like this? This job aint glamorous, lemme tell ya. Hey You laughin at me? You CANT be laughin at me! I swear, just now your nose it twitched! Yeah! I saw it! Your ugly little pug nose! It was twitchin like mad! Ok. Thats how you want it? All right. I see how it is. The chickens are comin home to roose now, aint they? If thats how you wanna play, then thats how well play. You know, I can see you forgettin yourself and resettin once maybe twice. It could happen, I guess. But this time? No two ways about it! It was deliberate! A calculated, cold-blooded act of villainy by a punk! No more forgive-and-forget Resetti for you, pal. Oh, no. Until you show me some real regret, I aint leavin! All right what to do? They dont exactly cover hoodlums like you in the reset-prevention manual. Askin, You got that? aint workin. All that gets me is lip service, and we both know what thats worth. Hmmm Got it! Yeah. Thats good. Ok, listen up, troublemaker. Heres what were gonna do. No more of your worthless, Im-sorry-Mr.-Resetti garbage. Now youre gonna have to say EXACTLY what I tell you to! You screw it up, you do it again! Lets see Yeah, thatll work. You ready? Here goes Say, Me = bad! (Now, obviously for testing purposes Im going to try otherwise, so I said, You=stupid) WRONG! Nope! No way, twerp! Do it over! Try again! (I did it again, this time, correct) Youre being sincere right? Do you really mean it, punk? That thing you just said? Dont forget it! Well, all right then! As long as you and I are clear on that, Im one happy, snappy mole. But, for the love of dirt, no more! It stops here! Oh, yeah, one last thing. Before you go to bed? Brush those teeth, will ya? Understood? Now SCRAM!!!
