“I was reading the newspaper this morning but then I got depressed. It's a rotten world, kid. Keep your head screwed on right and you'll make it through in one piece... That's what my Pappy always used to say. Heh heh heh.”
— Pam

Pam is a villager who lives in the trailer just west of the river in Pelican Town. She was the driver of the Pelican Town bus before it broke down. Once the bus service has been restored, Pam will manage the bus stop just east of the Farm, opening the way to the Desert.

While the bus service is not active, Pam can usually be found in her home until 12:00pm. She'll then walk over to JojaMart for a few hours, leaving there at 4:00pm to walk to the Stardrop Saloon. Pam is one of Gus' most loyal customers. She spends every evening in his establishment.

Schedule

After the Beach Resort on Ginger Island is unlocked, Pam may randomly spend the day there. After leaving the Island at 6pm, Pam will immediately go home to bed. Pam never visits the Resort on Fall 15, Festival days, or her checkup day at Harvey's Clinic.

Nine Hearts

Nine Hearts.png

Purchase the "Community Upgrade" from the Carpenter's Shop. After earning 9 hearts of friendship with Pam, enter Pam's house at least 4 days after the Community Upgrade is completed.

Details 
You find Pam praying before a Sign of the Vessel statue. She confesses that she loves the new house, but hasn't been able to cut back on her drinking. She says she thought the new house would change everything, but it didn't, so she ordered the statue. She then turns to the player for a response.
  • I'm glad you're feeling hopeful (No effect on friendship.)

Pam says she's "getting sappy" in her old age, and the cutscene ends.

  • Sorry Pam, but Yoba isn't real... (-1000 friendship.)

Pam becomes angry and asks "What in the void is wrong with you?" before declaring her faith in Yoba and ordering you to leave.

Trivia: The Yoba statue can be found later near Pam's bed on the second floor of the house, and can be removed and obtained by the player by striking it with a tool.

“Each day's just the same as the last... If only I'd been born rich...”

“(Pam isn't responding.)”
“(Pam seems out of it. Better leave her alone right now.)”


Spring

Sundays

“Hey Kid, are you friends with Gus? He's a pretty good guy.

He even gives me free beer on my birthday.”


Summer

“Hi, stranger.”
“Oh, it's [Miss/Mr.] [Player]. Do you need my help or something?”
“Havin' a local farm is good for our town.”
“Maybe if you do real well on your farm it'll boost the local economy. Then everyone will have a job and we'll all be happy, right?”
“Oh, hi there, farmer. I don't often chit-chat with strangers.”
“I always seem to end up at the saloon at some point. It's too close to my house. It ain't healthy.”
“Don't mind that ol' dog next to the house. He might look at you cross, but he'll never get up from that box in a hunderd years. The old boy's name? It's Dusty.”
“Someone's been complainin' about my yard... sayin' it's a mess. Was it you? Hmmm...”

If male

“...Yeah? You're a fine lookin' young man. Why're you wastin' your time talkin' to an old girl like me?”

If female

“You're a pretty gal. What 're you wastin' your time talkin' to someone like me for?”

6+ Hearts

“I had hopes and dreams like you, once... But look at me now. Life doesn't always turn out like you expect. Ah well. There's no sense dwellin' on what you don't have.”

Green Rain Year 1

“It's a sign from the Almighty... We're doomed...”

Year 2+

“I think these rains are a show of force... a warning. You could say it's from nature, from Yoba, whatever you like... but that's what I think. What I mean is, we can't get too cocky. Or else, instead of a green rain, maybe we'll have a blood-red rain... See what I mean?”

Green rain finished (next day)

“Well, I guess the end-times haven't come just yet, kid... Ah well, back to the ol' nine to five...”

Fall

“If I knew you better, I'd be more inclined to chat.”
“I used to be young, once. Hard to believe, huh? Time sure goes fast when you grow up.”
“*Sigh*... I guess I'll be popping a frozen dinner into the microwave tonight.”
“Penny's the only one I've got, so you best treat her kindly.”
“Every day is the same old routine... Do you ever have that problem, farmer?”
“Would you do me a kindness and clean up my house? Just kidding.”
“Don't you have work to do? You should be thankful that you have a job rather than moping around town all the time.”
“I miss my old truck driving job. I used to go all around the valley, meetin' people, listenin' to the radio. Times sure do change.”

Winter

“You got any hogs on that farm?”
“Do you want somethin' from me, kid? Best look somewhere else.”
“I just hope Penny has a good life ahead of her. If you ever have kids you'll know how I feel. ...It's so dry in winter. My skin feels like old parchment.”
“Hey kid. What're you up to? I'm just passin' time, same as always.”
“It's awful cold. A visit to the saloon should warm me up, don't you think? Heh heh. Why don't you swing by the saloon later for a taste o' the Oh-Be-Joyful?”
“Penny sure does like old books. I think she's a heck of a lot smarter than I ever was. I'm glad.”
“I oughta take up fishin', seein' as how close the river is.”
“Blah... my front yard's a mess.”

At Ginger Island

“Looks like there's some unique fish swimmin' around. Next time I'll have to bring my pole!”
“Heh... Willy gave us each a piece of his fish jerky on the ride over. Delicious!”
“Now this is comfort! I might even take my shoes off! Better not look too closely at my feet, kid.”
“It's a special occasion, kid... I'm ordering something unique. Make it a double!”

Trivia

  • In v1.3, Pam no longer follows you into the bus when purchasing a ticket to the desert. Instead, she stands in place until the bus cutscene triggers. This may have been done to prevent the rare "disappearing Pam" bug, in which Pam would disappear from the game and never return.

History

  • 1.3.27: Added 9-heart event. Changed bus stop animation.
  • 1.4: Fixed bug where all recipes would be sent at 3 friendship hearts.
  • 1.5: Added beach portraits.
  • 1.6: Added custom gift reactions. Added winter portraits. Pam is no longer required to be at the Bus Stop to drive to the Calico Desert on days she is unavailable. Now neutral to Joja Cola.
