This a transcript for JumpStart Adventures 5th Grade: Jo Hammet, Kid Detective that is intended to compile all of the spoken dialogue from the game. Single spaces are used for lines of dialogue that occur consecutively within the same scene, double spaces are used for lines of dialogue that occur separately from one another.

In sections where the player is given options for what Jo should say next (ie dialogue trees,) the lines the player must pick to move the story along are marked with italics. If the conversation reaches a dead end, players go back to the beginning of the dialogue tree.

The line choices are arranged with the correct answers first, then all the alternate options in alphabetical order. This is because the order the lines are presented in is always randomized. (Minus the Nevermind choice, which is always presented last.)

Introduction

 * Dr. X: With no one to stop me, revenge is mine!


 * Jo: [Screaming, followed by yawning]


 * Jo: It started as another bleak day in Hooverville. The kind of day that--


 * Jo: Oh no, the detective movie marathon!


 * Jo: [Clicking through static TV channels] Huh?


 * Radio: Miraculously, no one was injured in the blast that destroyed the Hooverville television relay station earlier this morning. Taking responsibility is one Dr. X, as he's calling himself, who has vowed to destroy the city, one building at a time.


 * Jo: Where was I? Oh, yeah! It started as another bleak day in Hooverville. The kind of day that makes you talk to yourself while riding a bus. If it wasn't for this field trip to the museum, I'd have never gotten involved in the biggest case of my life; and the city's history.


 * Jo: [Shouting to Martin] Hey buddy, you dropped your glasses! Hey mister! Hey!


 * Jo: Huh? That was odd.

Mission 1: Oak & Main

 * Janitor: What's going on here? That was my nephew, Martin. Those bullies were carrying him away.


 * Jo: What was your nephew doing with thugs like those?


 * Janitor: I don't know. He used to work non-stop with some doctor researching animal communications in his spare time while finishing his graduate studies. The next thing I know, he's got these low-lives around him pushing him this way and that!


 * Jo: What kind of animal communication?


 * Janitor: This doctor he worked for used to have some kind of crazy notion that he could talk with the animals. Used to wear sea life on his head and claim that he could communicate with them. [Gasp] So weird.


 * Jo: What do you mean, 'low-lifes?'


 * Janitor: Like those guys, thugs. Good for nothing. Waste of space. ...Waste? Um, uh, what was I talking about?


 * Jo: Are you sure this wasn't some nouveau art performance?


 * Janitor: There's no room for performance in art. At least that's what my father used to say.


 * Jo: He sounds like an open-minded guy!


 * Jo: Can you think of any reason why your nephew might NEED to be carried off from a public place?


 * Janitor: Rattling rutabagas, this is my nephew we're talking about. He's a good, honest boy. A bit on the nerd side, but good.


 * Jo: Hey, hey, hey! Without nerds, we'd have no computers. No computers means no computer games. Without computer games, where would we be?


 * Janitor: Probably the funny papers.


 * Jo: Oh, I'm sure it'll work itself out. They were probably just playing some kind of game. I hope.


 * Janitor: Yeah, maybe you're right. I hope.


 * Jo: Does this kind of thing happen often at the museum?


 * Janitor: In my day, this kind of thing never happened. Sure, you'd get the occasional tomato fight, but the perpetrators would always be forced into exile on a garbage scow.


 * Jo: Ah yes, the swift hand of justice being wielded by mob mentality. The good old days.


 * Janitor: You said it!


 * Jo: Sounds barbaric.


 * Janitor: Yeah, funny too! [Laughs]


 * Jo: Awww... nevermind.


 * Jo: Stop!


 * B.F. Skinny: Help! Help! This madman's nuts! He's trying to sweep the floor with me, sheesh.


 * B.F. Skinny: Lady and guy with broom, I am B.F. Skinny. Here, I got this note for you.


 * Jo: Where did you come from?


 * B.F. Skinny: Where did I come from? I'm a lab rat! Heh, you figure it out.


 * Jo: That's it, I'm calling the exterminator.


 * B.F. Skinny: Hold your horses, hold your horses. All I can remember is Martin telling me to take this note to the museum and give it to somebody. But I don't remember. He'll call me whenever he needs help, and, and I'll deliver notes here.


 * Jo: Yeah, but which lab? If Martin gave you this note, you must know where he is.


 * B.F. Skinny: I'm sorry, senator. I can't recall.


 * Jo: How do we find Martin?


 * B.F. Skinny: Oh, Martin. They got Martin! Can't... remember... who... D'oh!


 * Jo: Could you draw a picture of the men?


 * B.F. Skinny: Look, lady. I'm a rat. You're lucky I'm even talking to you.


 * Jo: You have no memory whatsoever?


 * B.F. Skinny: None that I recall.


 * Jo: Is that bow tie some kind of fashion statement?


 * B.F. Skinny: Yeah. I'm saying 'Hey, I'm a rat! I'm ready for anything!'


 * Jo: You've got a point.


 * Jo: Where did you get this note?


 * B.F. Skinny: Note? What note? What's with the third degree, huh? What are you, some kind of shrink?


 * Jo: I didn't know rats went to psychiatrists.


 * B.F. Skinny: Oh yes. We are firm believers in positive reinforcement. Could I have a cookie, please?


 * Jo: I'm looking for some answers. Did Martin give you this note?


 * B.F. Skinny: He, he, he must've. I can't write. Or... read, for that matter.


 * Jo: Awww... nevermind.


 * Jo: [Inspecting the note] Hmm... Huh?


 * Jo: I need to figure out this crossword to get the coded message. Luckily, I'm already at the museum; and can look for the answers in the exhibits.


 * Jo: Let's see here. If I take the letters that the arrows are pointing at... then rearrange them... It's got to be some sort of address, moki & ana. Huh, that doesn't sound right. What else could it be? Ah-ha! Oak & Main!


 * Jo: To put the journal away, click on the icon at the bottom of the screen. Oak & Main.


 * Jo: Do you know where Oak & Main are?


 * Janitor: Yeah. I've got a map you can take.


 * Janitor: Hooverville's pretty big, so this map's a big help. Move your mouse around to see what's what. Just click on a place to start a trip.
