- Maru: Oh, hello there!
- Maru: My Dad and I are just testing some soil samples.
- Maru: Don't be shy! We could use a hand, actually.
- Maru: Could you watch this beaker for me? I'm gonna grab the last batch of samples. I'll be right back.
- Demetrius: Thanks for helping out, Farmer.
- Demetrius: Maru's a good kid. She's my special little girl...
- Demetrius: I wouldn't want anything getting in the way of her bright future, know what I mean?
- Demetrius: Just some food for thought... *chuckle*
- Maru: Hey, sorry about that. I hope you found something to talk about while I was gone.
- Demetrius: ...I was just telling Farmer about the soil samples we're testing.
- Maru: Okay! Here, Farmer... let me show you how to use the equipment.

Maru's heart events
Spoilers Show 8 heart events for Maru, including what is said
- Maru: *sigh*... I'm so sick of preparing these samples...
- Maru: Agh! Oh no!...
- Maru: The whole sample is ruined... Harvey's going to kill me...
- Harvey: What happened? I heard something break.
- Maru: 38 I accidentally dropped one of the samples... I'm so sorry. Farmer came in and slammed the door so loud I dropped this sample.
- Harvey: You shouldn't blame others for your own problems, Maru.
- Harvey: *sigh*... I'll have to call the patient back in to recollect this sample. This'll probably put us in the red for another month...
- Maru: Farmer! I'm surprised to see you here so late.
- Maru: The night sky looks amazing right now.
- Maru: Come over here, I want to show you something.
- Maru: Here, take a peek.
- Maru: By the time any of these stars are visited, you and I will be long gone...
- Maru: I guess that's the trouble with being human, huh?
- Maru: Farmer, um...
- Maru: Never mind...
- Maru: Here, let me show you a binary star system...
- What a beautiful night! Maru showed me something new...
- Maru: Farmer, hi! Come in.
- Maru: I've been working on a new project... something big.
- Maru: This is just one component... let me show you a little demonstration.
- Maru: Just put your hand here...
- Maru: And now I'm going to flip this switch...
- Maru: Oh my god, are you alright?!
- Maru: Here, let me apply this burn cream.
- Maru: That kind of ruined the moment, huh? *sigh*
Every one of these has to be met at once: Emily at 10 hearts, Penny at 10 hearts, Abigail at 10 hearts, Leah at 10 hearts, Maru at 10 hearts.
- Abigail: We were just gossiping about Mayor Lewis and Marnie...
- Penny: Personally, I don't think there's anything fishy going on between them...
- Haley: Hah! Were you born yesterday?
- For some reason, you decide to place your hand in your pocket...
- You touch the rabbit's foot, and feel a sense of relief...
- You spent a short while with the group.
- It was an uneventful gathering!
Every one of these has to be met at once: Emily at 10 hearts, Penny at 10 hearts, Abigail at 10 hearts, Leah at 10 hearts, Maru at 10 hearts.
- Abigail: Never thought you'd find all your 'girlfriends' in one room, huh Farmer?
- Leah: I... I thought you were different than other men... You tricked all of us into thinking we loved you... You're horrible...
- Penny: How could you do this to us, Farmer?
- Maru: You think you're real smooth, don't you? Thought you'd sample the whole 'buffet', huh? What a sleeze...
- Emily: Th... That night in the tent... you whispered such sweet things to me in the dark... Now I have to face each day knowing it was all a lie.
- Haley: Well, us women stick together! And we're not going to put up with this! Well, we're not going to put up with your abuse any longer!
- Abigail: Well? What do you have to say for yourself?
- Abigail: Nice try, but that's not going to cut it...
- Haley: ...so we've come to a decision... isn't that right, girls?
- Penny: ...yes.
- Leah: Absolutely.
- Maru: We're all gonna give you the cold shoulder!
- Maru: Hey, I was hoping you'd come by. Remember when I told you about the new project I'm working on? The big one?
- Maru: Well, it's finally done... and I want to show you.
- Maru: Follow me.
- Maru: And here it is... Maru's Interactive Laboratory Device Alpha ... Or as I like to call her, 'MarILDA'.
- Maru: I've been working on her for months... I was waiting for you to be here when I activate her.
- Maru: Well, here goes nothing...
- Demetrius: Ah Ha! I knew it!
- Demetrius: Agh! What is it?!
- Maru: Dad, calm down. This is my latest invention, 'MarILDA'.
- Demetrius: Sweet Yoba... it talks!
- Demetrius: This is why you've locked yourself in your room the last few months?
- Demetrius: ...and I thought you were down here fooling around with Farmer...
- Maru: Dad! I've been making this robot for you and Mom! MarILDA's designed to assist you in the laboratory and Mom at the carpentry table... so when I'm not living here anymore it won't be such a burden on you guys.
- Maru: What!? Wait!
- Demetrius: It's okay, Maru. Let MarILDA go free. Your mother and I can take care of ourselves. I know you're ready to start a life of your own, and I've come to terms with the thought of not having you around anymore. Besides, this... creation of yours seems pretty advanced. It wouldn't feel right to keep her as a servant.
- Demetrius: Farmer, I'm sorry I mistrusted you. You're a good guy. I've never seen Maru so lively and creative... and I've never been more proud of her. If you've had a hand in that, then you have my gratitude.
- Maru: ...
- Maru: Okay, MarILDA. Let's get you out of this stuffy hole.
- Maru: Look at her go...
- Greetings, Maru.
- No need to respond... I have already predicted what you will say.
- Greetings, Demetrius.
- Excuse me...
- I am sorry, Maru. But I do not want to be your servant...
- In the time since you activated me, I have been pondering the nature of my existence with the 'self-awareness' module you installed in my neural cortex.
- I am sorry to disappoint you all, but I must ask for my freedom. I've decided to explore the galaxy in search of other synthetic life-forms.
- Thank you for creating me, Maru. I won't forget you.
- Maru: Hi Honey. Tomorrow night, there's a rare astronomical event happening... A comet is passing very close to our planet! I was thinking... maybe we should observe it together?
- Maru: Great! Meet me in the mountains at midnight tomorrow night. If it rains, we'll do it on the next night... the comet is here for a few days.
