  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=No fancy meal has tasted half as fine as the beans I cooked on my own campfire under the Klondike stars.}}

{{labeledDialogueBox|title=What's your success story?|
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=I'm Scrooge McDuck! I made my fortune being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=How tough were the toughies?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Oh, they were the toughest. Yukon miners and Beagle Boy bandits!|text2=But I out-hiked, out-swam, and out-explored them all!}}
  {{dialogue|answer=How smart were the smarties?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Oh, they were the smartest. Cunning foxes and ruthless entrepreneurs.|text2=But I outfoxed the foxes and out-ruthed the ruthless.|text3=Is "out-ruthed" a word? Well, if it is, I did it!}}
  {{dialogue|answer=Never heard of you?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=No? Well then, can you show me to the rock you've been living under?|text2=I've made many a fortune exploring places remote and rarely traveled.}}
}}
{{labeledDialogueBox|title=You must have a lot of stories to tell.|
{{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Have I ever told you about any of my great adventures, '''''Player'''''? Searching a Scottish castle? Hunting for gold in the Klondike?}}
{{dialogue|answer=What were you searching for in those castles?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=I was searching for a family treasure hidden in the McDuck family's ancestral castle in Scotland.|text2=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!}}
{{dialogue|answer=Did you find a lot of gold in the Klondike?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=That I did! I found a golden rock the size of a goose egg. It was the start of my fortune!|text2=I used it to buy land in Duckburg. And the rest, as they say, is history.}}
{{labeledDialogueBox|indent=1|isAnswer=1|character=Player|title=Tell me something different.|
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Aye, I'll tell you the story of how I earned my first dime!}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=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!}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=I scrubbed with all the strength in my small body and left his boots spotless.}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=But he paid me with an American dime, which was useless in Glasgow! The cheat!}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=I vowed then to always be honest in my dealings and earn my money square.}}
}}
}}
{{labeledDialogueBox|title=You're a businessman, right, Scrooge?|
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Aye. Specifically, I consider myself an adventure-capitalist. I made much of my fortune searching for treasure, and investing it wisely.}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Do you have some questions about money? I'd be happy to answer 'em for you.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=How did you get so rich?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=By being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies! I'm not like some folks, born to riches.|text2=I was born to a poor family in Scotland and earned every dime I've got!}}
  {{dialogue|answer=Why do you care so much about money?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=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.|text2=So, I know the real value of money.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=How do I make as much money as you?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=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.}}
  {{dialogue|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=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.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=How do we stop them?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=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.|text2=But those that get rich by cheating will spend to keep cheating. So you've always gotta keep your eyes open.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=Why aren't you like that?|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=Aye, well... I've done some things I'm not proud of. But I like to think I've learned my lesson.|text2=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.}}
  {{dialogue|answer=Cheating sounds fun.|character=Scrooge McDuck|text=What?! Cheaters are nothing but no-good, spineless, rotten apples! Trust me: Nothing worthwhile ever comes from cheating.}}
