Sam

Sam and Sebastian are jamming out in Sam's room. Sam tells you he's trying to get a band together, but he's unsure what style of music to play. He asks what music you like.

• Cheerful pop music. — (No effect on friendship.)
• Experimental noise rock. — (No effect on friendship.)
• Hi-Energy dance music. — (No effect on friendship.)
• Honky-tonky country music. — (No effect on friendship.)

No matter which style you pick, Sam says that's the style he's been thinking about for the band. He asks Sebastian if he's on board too. Sebastian agrees and Sam thanks you. Note that if you skip this cutscene, Sam's 8-heart cutscene will play cheerful pop music.

Sam is watching his brother Vincent play in the sand. Sam says his dad used to take them to the beach on sunny days. Vincent asks if their father will come home. Sam says "Of course". Vincent mentions overhearing people talk about mass military casualties. Sam tells him not to believe them, and Vincent returns to playing. Sam feels bad for getting his brother's hopes up and asks for your opinion.

• It's best to be honest with kids. — (No effect on friendship.)
• You did the right thing. Kids should have hope. — (No effect on friendship.)

Sam tells you the band's coming together, and Sebastian really wanted Abigail to be the drummer.

Sam is in the kitchen. He says hello. As he's getting you a snack, he drops an egg on the kitchen floor. His mom hears the commotion, walks into the kitchen, and becomes upset about the mess. Sam asks you to tell her what happened.

• Sam dropped the snack as he was handing it to me. — (-10 friendship.)
• Sam handed me the snack and then I dropped it. — (+50 friendship.)
• Sam dropped it on purpose. He thought it would be funny. — (-50 friendship.)

Jodi thanks you for being honest, and Sam insists he'll clean up the mess. Talking to Sam after this event causes him to say "Sorry about what happened earlier."

Sam is skateboarding and grinding on Emily and Haley's flower box. Lewis catches him and scolds him for it. Lewis asks for your opinion.

• You're right, sir. Sam should respect private property. — (No effect on friendship.)
• Don't blame Sam. There's nowhere else to ride! — (No effect on friendship.)
• I'm staying out of this. — (No effect on friendship.)

Sam invites you to see his band play in Zuzu City and asks to meet at the bus stop at 4pm. Enter the bus stop map between 4pm and 7pm to meet Sam and the others, and watch them play. He thanks you for inspiring his band with the type of music they should play. This heart event does not require the bus to be repaired. If you have skipped Sam's 2-heart cutscene, cheerful pop music will play during this heart event. Additionally, no time will have passed during the heart scene (unlike festivals, which always end the day), so if the bus stop map is entered at 4pm, you will return at 4pm as well.

You meet Sam outside his house. He says it's cold outside and sneaks you into his room to talk privately. As he admits he's falling for you, his mom knocks on the door. He has you hide in the bed. His mom comes in and asks why he's sweating and red in the face, and Sam says he's just been doing push ups. She wishes him good night and leaves. You are presented with the option to:

Part 1: Sam says he feels like he's gotten lazy since moving into the farmhouse and he wants to find some work -- something to do with music. Part 2: Sam receives a job offer in the mail, making music for a kids' TV show called "The Happy Junimo Show". He says it's not exactly what he had in mind. Sam responds "Hmm... Yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it." Sam responds "I mean... you're right, someone's gotta make children's music. But it's not exactly a 'dream job'..." Sam responds "Ah well... that's okay. I'll make the best of it, like I always do." Sam continues by saying "I guess I'd better start 'thinking like a kid'..." Sam exclaims "Hey!" while the player giggles. Sam says that's not a bad idea and thanks the player for the advice. Part 3: Sam is making progress on the song, and plays what he has written so far on an acoustic guitar. He feels positive about the job, and hopes the studio is happy with his song when it's finished. Part 4: The player, Vincent, and Jas gather around a TV set in Sam's room in the farmhouse. Sam plays a video of his song. Afterward, he expresses surprise at how much Vincent and Jas love it. He thanks the player for the support and gives a Sam's Boombox so the player can listen to the song anytime.

If the player has a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, the cutscene will consist of a friendly game of pool. If the player does not have a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, all bachelors will express anger about the player dating them all at one time. Regardless of the player's dialogue choice(s), all bachelors will decide to give the player the "cold shoulder" for about a week after the event. They will give angry dialogue when interacted with, and refuse gifts. After about a week, all bachelors will forgive the player, and dialogues return to normal.
