Four Hearts

Enter the Saloon during open hours.

Note: Only occurs if your friendship with Pam is at 2 hearts or more.

Details

When you enter the bar, Gus will be sitting at one of the tables looking dejected. When you ask what's wrong, he'll tell you that the saloon is having hard times financially. He'll admit that at least one problem is that Pam isn't paying off her tab and he's afraid to confront her because they are friends. Pam will then enter and ask for a drink. Gus will be flustered and concede, but you will get the choice to either say: • "You need to pay your tab right now!" -50 friendship points. • "The saloon isn't doing well, financially" +15 friendship points. Pam will be somewhat upset but she will pay her tab off and Gus will give her the drink she asked for. Your relationship with Pam will not be affected either way

Seven Hearts

After reaching seven hearts with Gus he will send you a recipe in the mail. He will also begin to send gifts in the mail.
