List of Pauline Getaway dialogue
When resting at Getaways in Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline can speak to Donkey Kong before going to sleep, given that Donkey Kong is still awake (indicated by the player selecting "Hm?" when Pauline asks). Each Getaway has unique dialogue, and each dialogue can only be heard once; subsequent rests at the same Getaway do not give the player the option to hear Pauline speak. This list covers all of Pauline's dialogue.
Ingot Isle Cave-In[edit]
Baboomtown Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK… You awake? It's been a while since we talked like this, hasn't it? Did you miss me? Things were a real mess in New Donk City after all the chaos. There was a big clean up. But the whole place still smelled like bananas! The city's nickname never seemed so perfect. The Big Banana… You got that right! Anyway, you would have loved it, DK. Or maybe not! Smelling bananas you can't eat might have been torture for you. I know, how about we go looking for bananas again? Just you and me, big guy. *sigh* Good night."
Lagoon Layer[edit]
Ape Cape Getaway[edit]
"Hey, hey, there's something I've been wanting to ask you, DK. What does it feel like when you transform? I mean, when you go all...Bananza? It must be like, "ROARRR! Let's do this! I am STRONG!" That's how I feel anyway...when I'm singing. So I was hoping that maybe that's how you feel too, DK. Well...good night."
Container Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? I was just thinking about this teacher I had at school. He looked a lot like Grumpy. He was pretty scary at first, but once you got to know him, you could tell he cared a lot. *yawn* Good night."
Lakebed Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Did you see those big containers behind the elder? How did they get stacked up like that? There's no way the monkeys could have done it, right? I bet the elder piled them up himself. He used his enormous arms and was like, "Whomp! Easy-peasy elbow-greasy!" Yeah, uh, let's make sure we don't get on the elder's bad side. Good night!"
Reservoir Getaway[edit]
"♪Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ahh-ahh!♪ Oh! *ahem* ♪Ahh-Ah-Ah-Ahh-Ahh-AHHHH!♪ Oh, sorry! Did I wake you up? It's just...I noticed that the acoustics here are really great. Must be all the moisture. My Grandma is always saying, "High humidity 'preps the pipes' for singing." Oh. I guess less talking would "prep the pipes" too. Good night!"
Salvager's Landing Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK. Are you awake? You're not going to believe this, but... I got to try some barnacle soup! And it was yummy! Seriously! It tasted kind of like crab or maybe some other shellfish. It had a lot of flavor, and I swear, it didn't taste like the bottom of a boat at all. Ohhh, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it."
Water Tank Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Did you notice how the bridges, the houses, even the stores... They're all made out of junk! I bet the monkeys here could make anything out of anything. Like a concert hall made out of lost shoes, or a banana restaurant made out of tires and bent spoons! OK, maybe that's asking too much. But when life gives those monkeys trash, they turn it into treasure. I like that. Good night."
Hilltop Layer[edit]
Trailhead Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? It's our Getaway! Isn't it great? There's a big closet, and we can listen to music too! And this bed is so comfy! After we get some shut-eye, we're gonna wake up full of energy. Oooh, it's like our own little hideout! It's so exciting! Well, roomie, good night."
Canyon Layer[edit]
Banandium Refinery Offices Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Do you think Fractones ride the mine carts to get around down here? Seems like it'd be a convenient form of public transportation. They could fly through all the caves easy, like whoosh! Oh! But the giraffe Fractones would definitely have to duck their heads! Hmm... Well, good night."
Banandium Refinery Terrace Getaway[edit]
"Hey, hey, DK... The mixer in this plant is huge! Watching it spin makes me feel like I might get sucked right in. It just spins and spins and spins...and spins...and spins...spins..."
Big-Stretch Base Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? That crystal stuff is really pretty, isn't it? It's all glimmery and see-through... But what I really love is the way it sparkles and shines when it shatters. So if you don't mind... I want you to SMASH every bit of crystal you find! Okey dokey. Good night, DK."
Big-Stretch Peak Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? I used to love the view from the top of the city-hall observation deck. It was...awe-inspiring. But this view might be even more incredible. They're both great, really. I guess views like this just make you appreciate everything around you, you know? Well, good night, DK."
Foreman's Island Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK… Are you awake? This is the perfect place for us to do an awesome training montage, don't you think? It's quiet, and there's no one to distract us, so we can train nonstop! We'll practice all sorts of awesome moves, one after the other, getting stronger, getting faster… *yawn* Yeah, our montage will look so cool. But, uh, maybe we should just get some sleep first… Good…*snore*"
Longneck Plateau Getaway[edit]
"Oooh... The ledge outside makes me nervous. If you walked off it in your sleep... Yikes! Hmm... Maybe if you tied one end of a rope to this bed and the other end around your waist, that'd keep you safe. Oh, no way! Ugh, now that I'm thinking about that drop-off, I'm never gonna fall asleep!"
Mechaneck Isle Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? You notice how Fractones try to imitate all kinds of shapes? Some of them look like...giraffes...I think? I wonder if there are any banana-shaped Fractones? Oh... Oh no! If there are, I better make sure DK doesn't eat them. Uh...good night, DK."
Plateau Village Getaway[edit]
"DK...are we gonna be OK? It's just, we had to use our own gold to build this Getaway. And that got me worried... What do we do if we run out? I mean an awful lot of gold does pop out of the ground and the walls when you start smashing stuff. So...maybe I don't have anything to worry about? Naw, I got nothing to worry about. Good night."
Smokestack Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? So...here we are...hanging out in a Getaway...that's hanging from a crane. I didn't think about it before, but now that I AM thinking about it, this doesn't seem safe! What if the rope breaks?! Uhhh! Did I just feel it sway? Are we swaying?! DK! It's swaying, isn't it?! Tell me the truth! Nope. You're right. I don't wanna know."
Smokestack Interior Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Do you think I'm becoming a better singer? I think I'm a little bit less nervous than I was before. Uh, but only a little. Anyway, thanks for listening to me, DK. Good night."
Tallfall Cliffs Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? There's a lizard up there. Do you see it? How does it stick to the ceiling like that? Uhhh, now I'm worried it's gonna fall on me. So much for getting any sleep."
Twin-Horn Smokestacks Getaway[edit]
"Gadunk...gachunk...gadunk... Hear that? It's the mine carts moving around. I love the rhythm. It's like music. Gadunk...gachunk...gadunk... Gadunk...gachunk...ga—splish?! Gadunk...gachunk...ga—BOOM?! Whoa. What do you think that was? Uh, it's probably...fine... Good night!"
The Divide[edit]
Split-Path Getaway[edit]
"The path of green...or the path of snow? How do we decide which way to go? Find the bananas—that's all I know. *yawn* Maybe if we get some sleep...*yawn*...the answer will show."
Freezer Layer[edit]
Canter Creamery Getaway[edit]
"*munch, munch, munch* Uh-oh! You caught me! I got this ice cube from that ice maker outside. I'm pretty sure it's made of fruit juice. It's SO sweet! Uhhh. DK... Don't tell Grandma I had sugar before bed, OK? Good night."
Chocolava Lake Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? I had a weird dream... This room is covered in chocolate, right? In my dream, I was sleeping in here, and everything started to melt! When I jumped out of bed, I was covered head to toe in chocolate goop! And then YOU gobbled me up! CHOMP! I know you'd never do that for real, DK, but if I ever turned into a banana... I'd be worried. Good night."
Cold-Colt Crest Cave Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? I don't know how you can go barefoot all the time without freezing. You're walking over snow! Doesn't that make you cold? If you aren't careful, ice might creep up your legs and turn you into a Kongcicle! I mean, I guess I like to run around barefoot too. So I get it, DK. Good night!"
Cold-Colt Crest Hill Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK… Are you awake? Listen… Do you hear that? It's the sound of water, right? Maybe a river or something. The sound of flowing water is so relaxing. I bet I sleep real good. *yawn* Good night."
Cooling Tower Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? It must be fun to run on top of the water like a zebra. How does that work? Can I do it too? You just step on the water really light and fast, right? And then step again before the first leg sinks... And then just keep doing it over and over and over and over... No. No way. DK, however you're doing it, it's actually impossible."
Coolstripe Cavern Ledge Getaway[edit]
"D...K... Are you awake? This spot sure is chilly, huh? I guess you're not as cold because you're covered in fur. Well, I'm freezing! Could you scooch over a bit and block the wind for me? Mmm... Much better. Thank you. When we're done napping...can we go somewhere warm?"
Coolstripe Cavern Pool Getaway[edit]
"Can't sleep, DK? Me neither. You're supposed to count some kind of animal to help you fall asleep, right? It's worth a try... One zebra... Two zebras... Three, four, five zebras?! They're too fast! My sleepy brain can't keep up. Better start over... One zebra... Two...ze...bras..."
Crumbly Bridge Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, you awake? They have lemon sherbet here. On hot days back home, we used to sit on a park bench and eat that stuff. Sometimes a breeze would rush between the buildings just as the lemony taste hit my tongue... *sigh* I guess you'd prefer a banana split...wouldn't ya, DK? Good night."
Floating Chocolava Lake Getaway[edit]
"Wow... I can't stop watching it snow... It's a blizzard higher up, but the snow down here is softer and fluffier. And it's cold like the snow back home, but it makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Snow has all kinds of moods... I like that. Good night!"
Hot-Hoof Heater Getaway[edit]
"DK... Are you awake? It was cold before, so I wanted to go somewhere warm, but...this spot is waaay too hot! You OK, DK? Is your fur all sweaty? When we get out of here, we're gonna eat so many frozen treats. G'night..."
Forest Layer[edit]
Bellhop Burb Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? My arms feel different. I think my grip has gotten stronger. I tried to drink some juice just now, but the straw broke in my hand, like, SNAP! Hanging onto your back all the time must be a better workout than I realized. Sorry, little straw! G'night."
Big Tree Getaway[edit]
"Tsk, tsk! Look at your feet, DK! They're covered in mud! You can't just barge in here and track dirt all over the...dirt. Oh, I guess I'm pretty muddy too, huh? Whoopsies! G'night!"
Bramblenest Bog Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK. You awake? The thorns here look scary, but the flowers on the same vines are so pretty! How does that old saying go? "Every rose has its thorns"? Good thing bananas don't have thorns. They would be much harder to eat. Not for you though. Your appetite can tackle anything, DK. Good night..."
Broodbud Isle Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? I was thinking... Ostriches can't really fly, right? So isn't it weird that, um...y'know... Never mind. Good night."
Lower Marsh Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK...are you awake? I was just thinking about the Eggshell Hotel. It's so fancy! The furniture looks really nice. Plus, there's a garden AND a pool! It makes me feel like I'm a famous guest basking in eggy luxury. That's a feeling I could get used to! Now then, good sir, the hour has grown late, and I must retire. Good. Night."
Mossplume Marsh Getaway[edit]
"Welcome, sir, to the Eggshell Hotel! That was my "I work at the hotel" voice. Was I convincing? People always sound a certain way when they want to make someone feel welcome. I figure I should practice. It might help me with my singing! Now then, Mr. DK... We hope you have a restful stay... *yawn*"
Rockshade Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? There's all that poison water out there...and a huge poison waterfall! If it gets any worse, the hotel's in big trouble. Hmm... Maybe the hotel staff could just...turn the poison into a good thing. You know, like make a tourist attraction out of it! To your right, please enjoy a scenic view of the world's largest natural waterfall of...poison. And no stay at the Eggshell Hotel is complete without buying a souvenir bottle of all-natural...poison. This idea seemed a lot smarter before I said it out loud."
Rubbery Roost Getaway[edit]
"Ow, my teeth! DK?! You were awake?! I'll tell you what happened...but you have to promise not to laugh at me, OK? I saw a piece of that bouncy, rubbery stuff outside. It's kind of pretty, so I picked it up. And when I looked at it up close, I realized it sort of looked like candy... And it smells sweet too. No joke. So I figure I might as well take a bite and see what happens. But the joke's on me... This thing is super rubbery. It can't be chomped! No more eating things off the ground for me. I'll leave that to you, DK."
Treetop Getaway[edit]
"♪Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh!♪ Oooh! ♪Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh!♪ This room has awesome acoustics! I bet I'd sound even better if I aim for the back wall. ♪AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AHH!♪ ♪AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AHH!♪ Whoops! Forgot it's sleepy time. Sorry!"
The Junction[edit]
Clash Point Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? Those Fractones that got trapped in that unbreakable Void stuff... Not able to move. Not able to...sing. Oh, those poor things... I can't stop thinking about them. Whenever we find a Fractone trapped like that, we have to set it free. OK? Good night."
Resort Layer[edit]
Fruitbowl Archipelago Getaway[edit]
"It's awful. The worst! Listen up, DK. We've been tricked. That fruit outside looks sweet and tasty, but it's not! I don't know if it's because it's sitting in seawater or what, but I took a bite, and it was so salty, I got tears in my eyes. All the other fruit down here has been yummy, you know, just like you'd expect it to be! But I'm telling you, DK...that fruit does not taste like fruit. It tastes like lies!"
Skydive Isle Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awaaake? Swimming by the shore, floating in the air, eating huge, yummy fruit... I love this place! We should stay here forever. Oh. But if we could do this every day...it wouldn't feel special anymore. Well, we'll just have to come back and visit a bunch of times...right, DK? Good night."
Tropical Retreat Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? There are so many different kinds of fruit here...and the juice floats in the sky by itself. It's like I'm dreaming! Do you ever dream about fruit, DK? Wait. Better question. Do you ever NOT dream about fruit? HA-HA! Good night."
Tempest Layer[edit]
Cliff-Edge Getaway[edit]
"Wah! Did you feel that rumbling?! The thunder down here is intense! Wait... Was that your stomach?! Yeesh! Don't scare me like that. AAAH! Again?! Wait, are you sure you don't have a storm cloud in your belly? It REALLY sounded like thunder that time."
Forecaster Refuge Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? So many tornados outside... It must be hard to live here with all this wind. I mean, I guess elephants do have thick skin, so the wind probably doesn't bother them much. Oh! But the Fractones! The tornados could break them into pieces! Though, I guess they'd just...grow back. Hmm. Maybe it's not so bad living here after all. Good night."
Hot-Springs Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? I snuck into the hot spring before this. It was sooo warm. I'm all cozy now. *yawn* You should...try it... *snore*"
Lava Getaway[edit]
"Oof! I fell off the bed... DK didn't see that, did he? Ugh, how embarrassing..."
Molten Mass Getaway[edit]
"DK... It's way, way, waaay too hot. It's actually raining fire out there! I wish it was another cold rain shower instead. That would feel so nice right now. Good night."
Sauna Getaway[edit]
"Ahhh. So hot…but sooo nice… "After the sauna warms your body, cool off with a dip in the pool down the hall. Then dry off and step out to feel the breeze on your skin." That's how the elephants do it. They really like this spa…and I get why! Once you get used to being sweaty, it's sooo relaxing. Ahhh… Try it, DK! "Warm your trunk and then enjoy a cool dunk!""
Summit Getaway[edit]
"♪Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm…♪ I love the sound the rain makes when it's falling on the roof. Even wind and rain can sound like music if you know how to listen. Anyway…good night."
Thundery Getaway[edit]
"DK... You're a sound sleeper, huh? Between the sound of the rain and the constant thunder, I feel like my ears are going to pop. Well... OK. There's more to it than that. The truth is, I'm a little scared. Would you mind if I sleep a little closer? Thanks, DK. Good night."
Landfill Layer[edit]
Trashtopia Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? Do you think all Eelings become Eelevators when they get big enough? No wonder they grow so much, the way they gobble everything down. Maybe the soil here is actually good for you...just like the bananas! Wait... Promise me you won't start eating the dirt, DK. I mean it. Good night."
Racing Layer[edit]
Top-Tier Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, you awake? What a view this place has! It's like having a box seat at the racetrack! Actually..."For a racer, there's no better seat than the cockpit as you cross the finish line in first place!" Vroom vroom! This place makes me wanna push the pedal to the metal! Good night!"
Radiance Layer[edit]
Constrictor Corridor Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? Those snakes sure wear some fancy clothes, huh? Even if they're ordinary work clothes, when you look close, they're so shiny! I know! Why don't we go to their shop sometime? They might have the perfect necktie for you! Good night."
Crystal-Cobra Den Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? I'm having the time of my life! The thing is, when I first got to the Underground World, I was just so...scared. But now I love exploring this place. Everything here is so...wild and new. It's exciting, you know? I never would have felt like this if I stayed on the surface. I hope we can always go on adventures together, DK. Good night."
Desert Outskirts Getaway[edit]
"*mumble* DK... I...I told you not to eat so many bananas... And now you have a tummy ache don'tcha... DK...no more for you... *snore*"
Elder's Back Getaway[edit]
"Wow! Look at this itty bit of Glow Stone. It's so tiny, but I can still see its light. Oh! It's melting away...little by little... It's almost gone! Come on, little Glow Stone, you can do it! Aww, that's it. Lights out. I guess that's my cue to go to sleep. Good night!"
Glowboa Grotto Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK...you awake? So...back when I was little, I used to sing all the time. And my grandma, she would always stop and listen to me. She'd smile and clap... She seemed so happy for me. Sorry, I just remembered that. I'm not sure why. Hm...good night."
Hiss Hiss Oasis Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK. You awake? Did you see the cactuses around here? You know we can eat them, right? It's true! They're supposed to be tasty. All I need is for you to harvest them and then grill them with the heat from the artificial sun. Then we can feast on deluxe cactus steak! Sounds yummy, right? Riiight?"
Shade Clouds Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? The snakes here made their very own suns! Seems like they're just as warm and bright as the sun on the surface. Brighter, maybe. So bright that it's hard to get to sleep. Good night."
Solar Control Tower Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? Those snakes came up with the fancy lights around the Underground World. They're pretty, huh? You can tell they care a lot about things looking nice. Their sense of taste really SHINES through. It's very ILLUMINATING, wouldn't you say? Good night!"
Tail-End Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? I just had a great idea. Rambi should start a taxi service in my hometown! "The Rambi Taxi: He'll get you there in a SMASH!" He could stampede through the sky and bust through buildings to find the quickest routes, and...uh... Oh. Maybe that's not such a good idea, huh?"
Groove Layer[edit]
Disco Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DJ. Are you awake? There he is! My favorite DJ! Hehehe! Sorry. I had to try calling you that too. Hey-hey, it's DJ DK, right here in the Getaway! What's that you say?! Even a Kong can DJ?! Well-well, OK! This hero's here to save the day! Smashing everything in his way! Eating every single ba-na...nay? I guess I slipped up on the banana part. HA! Alright... Good night!"
Feast Layer[edit]
Banana Burger Getaway[edit]
"It's so, so, so soft... Check it out—I got a bun pillow! I mean, a pillow made out of a bun. I tore it off of the burger. It's all fluffy, and it smells a little like bananas. Hey, now, no eating it! It's my pillow not your midnight snack! Good night."
Cat-Scratch Kitchen Getaway[edit]
"DK... All that muck around here...it's so gross! And it's gonna be really hard to clean up. You'd think the hot oil down here would keep it away or something...but it's everywhere. And the blobs those things spit at us are so gooey and gross...and painful! Blech! I need to get this muck off my mind. *shudder* Good night."
Diner Getaway[edit]
"DK. DK. DK! When we wake up, I wanna do ALL the fun stuff! Let's take photos at the Mane Gate and try a Banana Burger and... Guess I better get some sleep so I have the energy to do all the fun stuff. Yeah, let's sleep hard now so we can play hard later. Good night!"
Feral Wheel Getaway[edit]
"Huh? What?! Huh?! Oh…phew! It was just a dream. I thought I was late for school. Turns out I'm right on time…to get a little more sleep. Mmm… Good night."
Grater-Go-Round Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? I'm gonna borrow your necktie, OK? I wanna try this bad boy on. Just have to tie it like you do. So... Hmm... Oh, is it like this? Oops. That's not it. Uh, loop then tuck, then... Ugh! This is hard. I don't get it, DK. How do you tie this thing with those huge hands of yours? Fine. I give up... For now. Good night."
Refinery Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Grandma says a good singer always keeps her vocal cords "well oiled." I wonder if that means I'd sing better if I ate a bunch of the fries here. Hehe! Guess I'd better find out! Good night!"
Station Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? The mine-cart tracks here are set up like a really cool rollercoaster. The carts swoop up and down and go flying between the support beams... So scary but so fun! Wouldn't it be fun to ride one through a bunch of loop-de-loops? Then again, the carts aren't attached to the tracks, so you'd probably just fall off. Yeah... That might not be fun. Oh well, good night."
Swings Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? Did you notice how ostriches are even faster than zebras when they run? Wait. Is it rude to point that out? Uh, forget I said anything. They're both fast! Good night."
Forbidden Layer[edit]
Go-No-Further Gate Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... You awake? This place is giving me goosebumps... How about you? It's pretty eerie in here, isn't it? But you and me have gotten through a lot together, so I'm sure we'll be just fine. When we get up, we put on our brave faces, OK? Ok. Good night."
Planet Core[edit]
Climatic Cliff Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK. Are you awake? All that power swirling around... The Planet Core really is incredible isn't it? But what's funny is, even somewhere like this... We can have a Getaway built for us. They seem to pop up everywhere! No matter how strange things get, it's nice to have something familiar and comforting to hold on to. Good night, DK."
Fractone Cradle Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? The Planet Core is where all of the Fractones come from, right? So, if all of the Fractones visited home at once... It'd be the Underground World's biggest rock festival! Get it, DK? ROCK festival?! Hahaha! It's funny because they're rocks! Oh, good night."
Fractone Fort Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK... Are you awake? What do you think the Fractones eat? Their bodies are like rocks, so...maybe they eat crystals or something? I'd never eat a crystal down here. It might turn out to be someone's great-great-grandparent... *yawn* Good night."
Kremling Kamp Getaway[edit]
"Hey, DK, are you awake? My songs can make someone stronger. Isn't that...amazing? I-I can't stop thinking about it. My grandma's singing has made me feel better so many times. Is that what it's like for you, DK? When I sing, and you get stronger, does your heart feel stronger too? Good night."
