When an Item is Turned Down: Aye, but remember: My stock isn't always the same. When an Item is Not Affordable: According to my catalog, this item is currently valued at [price]... And according my records, you don't have the funds to purchase it, Player. Come back when you do and I'll be happy to help.

Daily Discussions

Are you looking for something?

Player, have you seen my nephew Donald? →  I was just talking to him. Ah! Then he must be close by. Good. I need his help with something. →  I saw him a while ago. If you see him again, let him know I need his help with something. →  Who? You haven't met? Oh, I thought you had. He's a keen lad. Useful in a pinch. Partial to wearing his sailor's uniform. [Response to previous question] →  Could I help you instead? That's kind of you, but I need Donald for this. He knows just how I like the stock inventoried. And it's high time we did a little uncle-nephew bonding. →  What do you need? Oh, it's nothing urgent. Nothing Valley-shaking. I was just rather looking forward to some uncle-nephew bonding. →  Why Donald? Well, he knows just how I like the stock inventoried. And we have some catching up to do.

• Do you miss Scotland?

Do you miss Scotland?

Aye. This time of year, I'm longin' to see a good caber toss. Bet I could show the Villagers here a thing or two! Do you have a favorite Scottish sport? →   Probably. I like all sports! Skittle me kilts! That's grand! Gettin' your heart pumpin' is good for the constitution. You'd probably take to the hammer toss like a McDuck takes to stock dividends! If you like sports, here's a wee bit of trivia for ya... This sport originated in Scotland and has even been played on the moon! When it started, you'd have to hit a wee pebble with a bent stick over and around some sand dunes. What sport is it? →  Baseball? TODOResponseToBaseball →  Golf? Aye, well done! The only sport that leaves time for business! Ya know, this has inspired me! Maybe I'll find a tree and make my own caber right here! Since I don't imagine you'll be turning the Peaceful Meadow into a golf course anytime soon... →  Curling? TODOResponseToCurling →   There aren't any Scottish sports! TODOResponseToNoScottishSports →   I don't really like sports. TODOResponseToDontLikeSports

How old are you?

Older than you and proud of it! How old do you think I am? →  Age is just a number! I couldn’t agree more! If you've the heart and energy for a venture, then no number should be stoppin' you! →  You're young at heart! A fine compliment, indeed! When my joints start to ache, I hunt for a new adventure! There's nothing like a bit of adrenaline to put the pink in your cheeks! →  Old? I think you mean "experienced"! Aye, I may be old, but the tales I could tell will send your spine a-tingling. Remember: Your life is what you make it. It's never too early or too late to start pursuing your dreams!

How's it going?

I've got another piece of advice for ya. When it comes to investments, you've got to diversify your portfolio. →  What does that mean? It means don't put all your Star Coins in one basket. →  Like... invest in lots of different kinds of stuff? Ay, you've got the right idea. There are lots of ways to make money in Dreamlight Valley. A little bit of fishing here, a little bit of mining there... But the best investment is real estate. Keep clearing away Night Thorns and opening up more of Dreamlight Valley. And always be ready to go on an adventure to the far side of the Village. There are lots of precious gems you cannae find if you stick to the Meadow!

Got any business tips?

Looking for a bit of advice about managing your Star Coins? →  Please! A penny for your thoughts! My thoughts are worth a lot more than a penny, you know. But we all need to start somewhere. A penny's better than nothing. →  I could always use a little advice. That's the right attitude! Don't ever go discounting the value of a little advice... or a little bit of money. →  I probably already know what you're about to tell me... Hey! You can never go wrong listening to some honest advice. player sigh* Okay, okay, fine. What's your advice? Listen up. Who knows? Maybe you'll even find a bit of wisdom in it. And a little bit of wisdom's all you really need to strike it rich. In fact, that's just what my advice to ya is all about. Managing your money takes nothing more than shrewd investment. Start with something little and turn it into a lot. Something little like... a seed! In this Valley, crops are... well, a cash crop. player What sorts of plants should I grow? I've got just one word for you. Just one word. Are ya listenin'? Okra. player Okra? There's a great future in Okra.

• Something on your mind? [Archnemesis]

Something on your mind? [Archnemesis]

Player, do you have an archnemesis? Everyone should, you know. Keeps you sharp! →  I don't like having enemies. Och, an archnemesis isn't so much like an enemy. They're more like a pesky acquaintance that you're always in competition with. Perhaps someday I'll regale ya with tales of all the times I've defeated ol' Flintheart Glomgold. →  No, but I need to have one. TODOResponseToAnswerNeedOne →  Of course I have one! TODOResponseToAnswerHaveOne

Something on your mind? [Standing Out]

Y'know, Player, there's one secret to really standing out among your competitors. It's what sets my shop apart. →  Variety? That's exactly right. You're getting to have quite an instinct for business yourself, Player. →  High-quality products? No. Well, yes. My products are all high quality. But it's more than that. →  Ridiculously high prices? Huh?! For products as high quality as the ones I offer, my prices are a bargain. player Okay, okay, sorry. So if it's not that, what's your secret? My secret is variety. I always keep my customers guessing with many different fine products. You never know what you're going to get when you step into Scrooge McDuck's Store. You oughta be sure to visit every day so you don't miss anything.

The Village is perfect, don't you think?

You know what this Village needs? A money bin so I can go for a swim. →  We can't afford that. Not yet, perhaps. But a few savvy business decisions and a daring adventure or two, and you'll see. It's how I've made one fortune, and how I'll make another! →  You can't swim in money. Not with that attitude you can't! I've spent many a year perfecting diving and backstroking through gold. →  You could swim in the ocean. And get salt in my feathers?! Who do you think I am?! The world's second-richest duck?

What are you up to today? [Memories]

I've been reminiscing about my time in the Yukon near Mooseneck Glacier. The valleys between those mountains... they were so... so... →  ...pure and beautiful? That it was, Player. That it was. →  ...clean and untouched? That it was, Player. That it was. →  ...full of potential for profit? Aye, there were plenty of ways to turn a profit. But I appreciated them for more than just that. No fancy meal has tasted half as fine as the beans I cooked on my own campfire under the Klondike stars. Before stock options and crop futures and compound interest, my tools were my gold pan, my pick, and my shovel. With those, I worked the icy creeks and frozen tundra... ...and earned every cent with my own two hands. →  Sounds amazing! Aye, that it was. →  Sounds like a lot of work. Aye, it was, but it was noble work. Sometimes I think more than gold or assets in banks or properties around the world... ...I'm richest in memories.

• What's it like being the richest duck in the world?

What's it like being the richest duck in the world?

Well, bein' the richest duck in the world isn't all fun and games, ya know. I have to think about security around the clock! I've got to protect my treasures from ne'er-do-wells! →  Can I help? Are you sayin' you'd volunteer out of the goodness of your heart? With no compensation at all? You're hired! I could always use an extra set of eyes. →  Has anyone ever stolen from you? Have they?! Have you ever heard of the Beagle Boys? Those rapscallions are always trying to get their plundering paws on me gold! Burns me blisters just thinkin' about it! →  I'll keep an eye on that! TODOResponseToKeepAnEye

What's on your mind?

I overheard someone call me a hot-tempered hoarder the other day. But I say I'm just thrifty. What do YOU think? →  Hmm. Definitely frugal. And wise. Exactly! Finally someone's talkin' sense around here! I knew you were wise as a whip when I met you. →  You could loosen your purse strings a little. Loosen them? Dinnae be daft! I could lose some of my favorite gold. Each piece is like a cherished member of me family. *sigh* Well... →  I'd rather not answer. Avoiding the question, eh? Are you suggestin' I cannae handle constructive criticism? *sigh* Well... I'm glad we had this little talk, Player. It's always good to have insight on yourself from your friends.

What's your success story?

I'm Scrooge McDuck! I made my fortune being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties. →  How tough were the toughies? Oh, they were the toughest. Yukon miners and Beagle Boy bandits! But I out-hiked, out-swam, and out-explored them all! →  How smart were the smarties? Oh, they were the smartest. Cunning foxes and ruthless entrepreneurs. But I outfoxed the foxes and out-ruthed the ruthless. Is "out-ruthed" a word? Well, if it is, I did it! →  Never heard of you? No? Well then, can you show me to the rock you've been living under? I've made many a fortune exploring places remote and rarely traveled.

You must be really good with money.

Aye, and let me give you some financial advice. It'll protect you from the multitude of moochers! →  Please! I need it. Invest in being tough! If someone drives a hard bargain... Drive a HARDER bargain! You've got to be tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties. →  I care more about friendship than money. Oh aye, the intangibles like friendship, love, adventure, and family are all vital... But there's no shop that takes "adventure" as payment! →  Moochers don't bother me. You can't take it with you. If you dinnae mind moochers, then they willnae mind you! Soon enough, you won't have a Star Coin to your name.

You must have a lot of stories to tell.

Have I ever told you about any of my great adventures, Player? Searching a Scottish castle? Hunting for gold in the Klondike? →  What were you searching for in those castles? I was searching for a family treasure hidden in the McDuck family's ancestral castle in Scotland. The treasure had been lost for years, but I found it with an X-ray machine! There was also a meddling ghost, but Donald and I got the better of him! →  Did you find a lot of gold in the Klondike? That I did! I found a golden rock the size of a goose egg. It was the start of my fortune! I used it to buy land in Duckburg. And the rest, as they say, is history. →   Tell me something different. Aye, I'll tell you the story of how I earned my first dime! I was a young lad in Glasgow, earning my way shining shoes. My very first customer was a ditch digger with an inch of mud on his boots! I scrubbed with all the strength in my small body and left his boots spotless. But he paid me with an American dime, which was useless in Glasgow! The cheat! I vowed then to always be honest in my dealings and earn my money square.

You're a businessman, right, Scrooge?

Aye. Specifically, I consider myself an adventure-capitalist. I made much of my fortune searching for treasure, and investing it wisely. Do you have some questions about money? I'd be happy to answer 'em for you. →  How did you get so rich? By being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies! I'm not like some folks, born to riches. I was born to a poor family in Scotland and earned every dime I've got! →  Why do you care so much about money? Aye, that's a fair question. And I'll answer it true. I was born to a poor family in Scotland. I know what it means to not have what you need. So, I know the real value of money. →  How do I make as much money as you? Well, you have to work hard and be clever and stubborn, too. And it doesn't hurt to be lucky. But most importantly, you have to treat folks fairly. Not like some who got where they are by cheating, and taking advantage of folks. And the more money they have, the more they cheat. →  How do we stop them? Ooh, that's a hard question. Money's a powerful thing. You've got to have rules about how money can be spent, and how workers can be treated. But those that get rich by cheating will spend to keep cheating. So you've always gotta keep your eyes open. →  Why aren't you like that? Aye, well... I've done some things I'm not proud of. But I like to think I've learned my lesson. I suppose it's my family, and the good folks I've worked with. I wouldn't want to do anything to change how they see me. →  Cheating sounds fun. What?! Cheaters are nothing but no-good, spineless, rotten apples! Trust me: Nothing worthwhile ever comes from cheating.

You seem restless.

Player, I've never been able to stay idle for long. If I'm not on one adventure, I'm planning the next one. Do you like going on adventures? →  I'd rather just stay home. Aye, I do like staying close to me money as well. But it's important to take a chance every now and then. Life can change on a dime, you know! →  Yes! I love new places and trying new things! That's what I like to hear! You cannae expect everything to come to you... Sometimes you have to go out and grab life by the tailfeathers! →  I wish I could. It's my dream! XXXXXX Make every moment count, I always say. Speaking of count, it's time to count me money so I can plan that excursion I mentioned. Hee-hee!

Any ideas on improving the Village?

Aye, you know what this Village needs? More trap doors to take care of would-be burglars! →  That seems excessive... You cannae be too careful in this life, Player! Or too trusting! When ya have somethin' worth havin', ya have somethin' worth stealin'. →  How many do you think we need? Good question! You've got to be strategic, of course. Put them anywhere you keep your precious goods. In fact, I'd like a couple around the shop. →  Couldn't that hurt someone? XXXXXX

• What are you up to today? [Treasure Hunt]

What are you up to today? [Treasure Hunt]

Ah, Player, I'm feelin' a bit of wanderlust today. Perhaps I need a little adventure. Have you ever been on a grand treasure hunt? →   Yes, of course! An expert! Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Tell me then, where's your favorite place to find treasure? →  Under the sea. An excellent choice! I've heard tales of Ariel's collection of rare artifacts. Though, I haven't had the chance to see it myself. I'll start making plans to visit. Just as a spectator, I assure you. →  Ancient ruins. XXXXXX →  I just want to explore, like you! XXXXXX →   Not yet... XXXXXX

Good day, Mr. McDuck!

And good day to you, Player! The Village is looking grand. You know, you remind me of a young me building me fortune in Duckburg... player Thanks! →  I hope to be as rich as you someday! That's quite a goal. You'll have to add up a lot of zeroes. But it's good to aim high! →  I just want to feel comfy. XXXXXX →  I'm making it welcoming for friends. XXXXXX

• What's your most prized possession?

What's your most prized possession?

Well, besides my family, it's my Number One Dime. player Let me guess, your Number One Dime... →  ...brings you luck. XXXXXX →  ...is the first dime you ever made. That's right! Well done... though it is right there in the name. My Number One Dime. I was working as a shoeshiner in Glasgow when I earned it. And that inspired me to build my fortune across the sea. But that's a story for another day. →  ...is your true love. XXXXXX

Observed Conversations

With Ursula ( What's Bad for the Business)

You! I have proof of your fishy business practices. And they stink! What's the matter, Scroogie? Afraid of a little competition? Never! And trust me, I'll find a way to put an end to your dastardly dealings! You can count on it! But how? When you'll be so busy searching for these... Shiny, isn't it? Look closely... It just washed up onshore. I suppose it must come from a vast treasure of some sort, don't you? XXXXXX Ha-ha-ha! So predictable.

With Daisy ( Dots & Daisies)

Uncle Scrooge, are you ready to be dazzled? Take a look at this... Well now, that is sharp! I'm impressed. Not only that, but Dots & Daisies was all anyone spoke about in Chez Remy this morning. So you'll add us to your shop? Aye, lass! And I'll do it gladly! Oh goodie, goodie, goodie! I can't wait to tell Minnie!

With Merida ( Mythic Restoration)

Mr. McDuck, I'd love to hear your opinion. What do you think of these new statues? They're pleasant enough. But if they'd had a more appealing model, I'd be happy to stock 'em in my shop! Wasn't there a god who threw lightning bolts? I think the Lorekeeper told me about him. Aye, lass. That'd be Zeus! He'd make a much more regal figure. Shame this one doesn't have real lightning. That'd make it heaps more exciting! Hmm, wasn't there a lightning machine not too far from the Lorekeeper?
