This file contains one dialogue entry per NPC. There's a roughly 50% chance they'll use this dialogue if one of the above didn't match, it's raining, and you're not married to or divorced from them.
===Marriage dialogue===
<samp>Characters\Dialogue\MarriageDialogue.xnb</samp> contains dialogue text for all spouses, and each NPC may optionally have their own dialogue file like <samp>Characters\Dialogue\MarriageDialogueAbigail.xnb</samp>. When looking up a dialogue key, it will use the one in the NPC's file if it exists, else the one in the generic file, else a default text (usually blank).
Each dialogue entry has a key with one of these formats:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! key format
! description
|-
| <samp>{{t|season}}_{{t|day}}</samp>
| Dialogue shown when the day starts, if {{t|season}} and {{t|day}} match the current date.<br /><small>Example: <samp>fall_1</samp>: "''The scent is unmistakable... mushroom, rotting leaves, pumpkin. It's fall, alright. Isn't it lovely?''"</small>
|-
| <samp>patio_{{t|spouse}}</samp>
| Dialogue shown when the NPC is standing on the patio.
|-
| <samp>{{t|weather}}_Day_{{t|random}}</samp>
| Daily dialogue added when the day starts, based on the {{t|weather}} (<samp>Rainy</samp> if it's raining, else <samp>Indoor</samp> even if they're not indoors) and {{t|random}} (a random number between 0 and 4). If the game chooses a {{t|random}} value that doesn't have a dialogue, it'll use the default text instead.
|-
| <samp>Rainy_Night_{{t|random}}</samp>
| Daily dialogue in the farmhouse after 6pm when it's raining. {{t|random}} is a number between 0–5 inclusively ''or'' the NPC name, each of which has an equal chance of being randomly chosen. If the game chooses a {{t|random}} value that doesn't have a dialogue, it'll use the default text instead.<br /><small>Example: <samp>Rainy_Night_3</samp>: "''On nights like this, I like to turn the light down low and just listen...$8''"</small>
|-
| <samp>Indoor_Night_{{t|random}}
| Daily dialogue in the farmhouse after 6pm when it's ''not'' raining. {{t|random}} is a number between 0–4 inclusively ''or'' the NPC name, each of which has an equal chance of being randomly chosen. If the game chooses a {{t|random}} value that doesn't have a dialogue, it'll use the default text instead.
