"Say, you're a tourist too, right?"
"Just moved here? Then come enjoy the sights with me!"
"Too busy with the 'Toon Resistance', huh?"
"Well, that's no reason why you can't enjoy yourself!"
"Just look around here, the heart of Toontown, it's so exciting!"
"It's just so hard to decide what to do first..."
"Wait, I know! There's a library nearby! Could you see if they have any travel guides there?"
"I'll just wait here, watching the beautiful butterflies..."
After getting the travel guide
"Oh, fantastic! You're back!"
"Given how this is just a stack of torn pages, I'm guessing you ran into some trouble trying to get that guide."
"I'm sorry about that! I can defintely make it up to you though!"
"It's a lot of fun to take photos, so I do it all the time. I'd love to take a photo of you as your reward!"
"Unfortunately, I just ran out of film..."
"I hate to ask for another favor, but could you ride the trolley for me?"
"For some reason, there seems to be a lot of unused boxes of film along the trolley tracks..."
"Can't imagine what those could have been used for, but I'm not complaining.
"I'd do it myself, but those steps on the trolley look scary, don't question it."
After riding the trolley
"Wow, you are so nice! This should last me a while."
"Lemme just put this in..."
"There we go!"
"Ready to get your picture taken? Strike a pose!"
"It'll take a moment to develop, but here's your photo!"

"I'd love to go for a swim myself, but I forogt to pack a pair of my trusty swimming goggles."
"I've seen some Cogs around town that have those neat looking goggles..."
"I think I've heard some Toons call them Conveyancers?"
"If you find one of these Cogs could you try and get a pair of their goggles for me? I really want to take a swim!"
After recovering a pair of goggles
"Oh hey! You found a pair of goggles?"
"These are a bit of a bland grey color, the pair I had at home were blue, but these should work quite swimmingly!"
"Alright [Toon Name], let's dive in!"
"Wait a second..."
"I'd hate to trouble you again."
"But it seems that I have forgotten my sunscreen as well!"
"If I don't wear it, I'll be as red as a fire hydrant!"
"I overheard some ducks earlier saying that they were able to get some from this shop called The Reel Deal here in Barnacle Boatyard."
"Could you possibly find that shop and see if they have any sunscreen, make sure to tell them I need something around 95SPF..."
"I'm kinda sensitive to the sun. It's embarassing to say the least."
After returning from Blisters Mckee
"Totally nautical, dude!"
"Alright, I'm all ready! Surf's up!"
After going for a swim
"That was awesome, I was able to find a few seashells too! These will be perfect for my collection!"

"See ya around, [Toon Name]!"
Ye Olde Toontowne - In Ye Olde Toontowne Tumbles appears in the The Golden Penny sidetask. His dialogue during this task is as follows:
"Hey maaaaaaan, great to see you again! I was just getting some pictures of this rad wishing well."
"You wouldn't happen to have a spare coin on you so I can make a wish, would ya?"
"No? Bummer..."
"Say, I overheard some Toons talking 'bout these dull skyscrapers full of cash! I wonder if you could find one in there!"
After obtaining a golden penny
"You got some change, [Toon Name]? Hand it over maaaaaaan."
"Woah, look at this golden penny bro, it must be ancient!"
"I wonder if the elders who passed by earlier know anything about it."
"It could be worth a thousand pennies maaaaaaan, think of all the camera film I could wish for with that!"
After returning from Merlin Ambrice
"Hey maaaaaaan! What'd they say, will the coin bring me great luck?"
"It's... a chocolate coin?"
"Wow, this must be my lucky day!"
"I'm kinda bummed the coin won't bring me any luck nor grant my wishes, but who doesn't like candy?"
"Besides, all this photography was making me hungry! I couldn't have wished for a better treat!"
"However, before I eat this, I should probably give ya something for your troubles."

"Say, [Toon Name], could you help out the wedding?"
"Really? Thanks!"
"First and foremost, the groom happened to lose his suit,
"Something about suddenly finding themselves too chunky for their old suit."
"We need to get him a new one made. Vine Green is definitely your guy."
"He owns Vine and Dandy Menswear on Daisy Drive. Go give him a ring."
"I'm counting on you, [Toon Name]."
After returning from Vine Green
"Hey, maaaaaaan. Now that is a beautiful tuxedo. I'll be sure to get that to the groom."
"Next, the bride has lost her ring! People like me are quite clumsy, you know."
"You should be able to get a new one quite easily."
"Tammy Tuber makes rings and other jewelry, go ahead and go to 14-Carrot Jewelers."
"At least, I'm fairly certain that she doesn't make her jewelry out of actual carrots..."
After finding the tiara
"Hey maaaaaaan, fantastic! You've really been a giant savior for the wedding."
"I think I was able to snap a good picture of you running around all over the place helping out the folks here."

"Not something like the one by the pond over there... That's way too big to play well."
"Hey, that gives me an idea! How about you bring me a piano?"
"I would get one myself... but they can be kinda heavy. I'd surely fall down one of those giant trumpets!"
"I'm sure there's a piano shop here somewhere, find one, and see if you can get a piano for me!"
After obtaining a piano
"Awesome, maaaaaaan! Let me give it a try!"
"..."
"Bummer, this is really out of tune!"
"Hmm... I have been hearing some really good piano from the fishing pond."
"Perhaps there's something in there causing that perfect tone!"
"You should try and fish out whatever's making that perfect sound, perhaps that could really tune this piano!"
After fishing up a Piano Tuna
"Toontastic! This should do the trick! Let's start the music!"
"You should play a few notes of your own! Try picking up some that are laying around for inspiration!"
After collecting 10 treasures
"Bravo! Those were some sick piano skills, maaaaaaan."
"I should snap another picture of you to remember this moment!"
"However, I ran out of film just a little while ago while touring the playground..."
"Maybe you could retrieve some from one of those large Cogs with the giant stache!"
"They look like they're always ready for a picture, they've got to have some spare film!"
After collecting a roll of film
"And... smile!"
"Bravo! Thank you for all your help [Toon Name]! I hope you love this photo as much as I do!"

"Some gears to keep warm!"
"Come to think of it, those Cogs never complain about the cold. I bet they have exactly what I'm looking for!"
"Would you be willing to help out?"
"Whatever's keeping them warm is probably stored inside those massive buildings of theirs!"
"See what you can find in those buildings, and I'll totally make it worth your while!"
After collecting some warm items
"Welcome back, maaaaaaan! Did you take down those buildings?"
"Ooh! Let's see what we've got here..."

"Of course, an ice cap! All Toons in The Brrrgh need to keep their heads nice and warm!"
"Why don't you speak with Balding Benjy at Polar Ice Caps? I saw his store on the way here!"
"I just need a single ice cap, and we'll be set!"
After returning from Balding Benjy
"Welcome back! Did you get the ice cap?"
"Hey, awesome! Thanks, maaaaaaan! I think I'm just about ready to..."
"Wait, how could I forget! Boots! I need some boots!"
"How's a Toon supposed to walk through all this snow without some sturdy boots?"
"I'm willing to bet that some of the stronger Cogs have only the finest clothes!"
"Heck, maybe even footwear designed for snow like this!"
"If you could get me some of their boots, that'd be amazing!"
After collecting some boots
"You're back! Did you get the boots?"
"Yo! These are awesome! Perfect for snowy exploration!"
"You've been a MASSIVE help. It's only fair that I return the favor..."
"SNOWBALL FIGHT!"
"Haha! Relax, maaaaaaan. I was simply joking!"
"You know, that face you made just now was pretty funny. In fact, I just so happened to snap a picture of it!"

"But you know me, I'm all for sights and sounds."
"And don't let me forget about those souvenirs!"
"Lemme tell ya, I'd love for something from this place to take home with me."

"And I have no idea where to start when it comes to fixing it."
"Everything around here is kinda fuzzy with how tired I am after traveling for so long."

"Thanks in advance, maaaaaaaan."
After returning from Charlie Chamberpot
"Maaaaaaan, why does my camera smell so bad?"
"Oh, it's fixed? Thank you thank you thank you!"

- During the Toonsmas 2021 event, Tumbles was trapped in a pile of snow in Barnacle Boatyard due to where he's normally positioned. He was given an expression similar to when Toons fall asleep in The Brrrgh and special interaction dialogue to reflect this.
- Tumbles' interaction dialogue in this state was as follows:
- "H-h-hey maaaaaaan."
- "Trrrrr.. it's s-so cold..."
- "W-w-what's new, pal?"
- "G-g-got something?"
- Due to the game not going down until a little under a day after the end of the event to properly remove some of the Toonsmas aspects, Tumbles could also be seen freezing despite not being in the snow pile for a brief while.
