Something the matter?
Bond Level 2
If you wanted to give me a massage or something, I'd be down.
Bond Level 3
Gah, I wish I could just streamline everything so I never had to do any actual work again.
Bond Level 4
What's up? Something happen? Let me know if I can do anything for you.
Bond Level 4 (Completing Part 1)
Ah, I get it. So that's how he lived. Man, oh man. He sure missed out on a lot life has to offer.
Bond Level 5
Yes, with this we are now both equals!
Bond Level 5 (Completing Part 1)
Do I feel down, you ask? Nah. He lived his life to the fullest. And it is none of my business. I didn't affect his life, and he did everything he could while he lived. Isn't that wonderful...don't you think?
Conversation 1
Now then, let us be on our way.
Conversation 2
Yeah, sure I was once a king, but don't fret over it. No, really though. Let me remember my days as a shepherd while I'm here as a servant, at least.
Conversation 3
We seem bound together by a common fate. Your demise is my demise. Oh, but don't worry, my demise is only my demise, so feel free to cut me loose if need be.
Likes
What do I like? Well, I'm basically the epitome of vices. I like women and money, what can I say? The more of each the better!
Dislikes
You know what I hate though? Fighting. I know it brings about prosperity, but I just don't enjoy it. I mean, you wouldn't like being forced into signing a contract, right?
About the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail, huh? I don't really need it. Pretty much got all I want already.
Conversation 4
The Queen of Sheba? Of course I respect her. She's smart, elegant, and she's a queen, above all else. And I bet her body's nice and warm. But you know, I'm a little scared to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her. We are sort of like business rivals, you see.
Conversation 5
That cat-eared girl is Tamamo Cat!? I don't like her. She ruined my plans to build a ranch. Well, I do like her Noble Phantasm, though. It's only human to get sleepy after a hard day's work, you know! Oh, by the way, Master, are you interested in running a cafe? I see great potential in that girl's second and third costumes... What do you think?
Conversation 6
Sanzang? Are you asking if she is Abishag? No... I regret having to say this, but she is now. She may not be of the same world as I, but I definitely sense that she is a distinguished woman. As a Servant here, she is like a part of some sort of phenomenon... Her existence here is almost like a mercy granted to her by God.
Conversation 7
Eh? You there, you beautiful person. Are you a shepherd too? Your body may be a bit underwhelming, but I'll let that go and call you Abishag because I like your face! Oh? How come you keep offering me this gruel of yours when there are so many other scrumptious dishes around? Well, I mean, I'll still eat it since it looks delicious... I say...it's so noisy (oink) around here...
Conversation 8
Oh, that pretty, elegant girl...is that Salome? Hahaha. Well that's just swell. After all, I'm about as far from Jokanaan as you can get! I don't have to worry about losing my head! Then again, I'm probably also farthest from getting her attention to begin with!
Conversation 9
Oh, so that beautiful Servant who's lithe as a blooming flower is your younger sister, Master? For someone who's supposed to be your sister, she doesn't seem at all human to me, either in looks or personality. Then again, if she calls herself your younger sister, that just means she's gotten attached to you. Make sure to be responsible and take care of her, Master.

Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 1
Welcome to my most trustworthy, reputable shop. Come, let's do some business. Did you bring me something good?
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 2
Oh hey, Master. Taking a break? Then take a look at my wares. This lineup is bound to have something you want.
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 3
You need to start from the very beginning when raising sheep, but you can just use whatever's in front of you when it comes to items. Right to left...from you to me...that's how it works.
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 4
I'm going to oink... I'll oink really hard.
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 5
Yes! Thanks for your patronage! Ah, that phrase has a nice ring to it! It makes me feel like a ton of money is coming my way!
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 6
My fun time playing shopkeeper is coming to an end... My principle is to end everything flawlessly, no matter what kind of business it be. I would certainly be happy if you were satisfied, too. How about it?
Revival: Sanzang Coming to the West 7
Looks like your journey to the west ended without incident. We may all have our differences, but travelling together was certainly wonderful. Sometimes it's nice to experience the romance of living as a simple shepherd... Well, I'm a little uneasy using the word "romance," for HIS sake...
