Shiver “What's the best day of weekend? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?”	Frye “Your weekends only have three days? Huh. OK. Interesting.”
Shiver “A weekend is best when it's fresh, so I say Friday. And no, I will not call it Frye-day.”	Frye “Fine by me! Everyone knows Saturday is where it's at on the weekend anyway.”
	Big Man “Ay? Ay... (Am I the only one who likes Sunday? It's the perfect day to relax...)”
Shiver “You think weekends are for relaxing? There are so many better ways to use that time!”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay. (They're for whatever you want! As long as it isn't more work.)”
Frye “Which is why it can't be Friday. Whether it's work or school, Fridays are half boring!”
Shiver “Yes, but that's what makes them great. That feeling when the clock ticks over.”
Shiver “In an instant, the cares of the week are gone. The evening is all yours.”	Big Man “Ay? Ay? (All mine? When's the last time I got to pick what we did on a Friday?)”
	Frye “OK, sure, free evenings are cool. But you know what's better?”
	Frye “A WHOLE FREE DAY! Saturdays are for doing whatever you want, no matter how weird!”
Shiver “Remind me again what you actually do with all that free time on your Saturdays?”
Frye “Couldn't tell you. I forget 'em as soon as they happen. That's the point of Saturday!”	Big Man “Ay?! (How great can Saturdays be if you never remember them?!)”
Frye “Alright, then, what's so cool about Sundays? Let's hear the pitch!”	Big Man “Ay. (Well, I usually spend my Fridays with you and Saturdays with the fam.)”
	Big Man “Ay. (And so I need a whole quiet Sunday to myself just to recover.)”
Frye “So...your idea of a good day on the weekend is just "less stressful"?”	Big Man “Ay... (Hey, you take your victories where you can get them...)”
Frye “Booo! You can think bigger than that. That's no weekend—it's a WEAKend!”
Shiver “Don't worry—I plan big enough for us all every Friday. Which, again, is the best day.”
	Frye “Nah. Saturday's what matters. You should see what I call breakfast on the weekend!”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (Nope! Sunday's the mic drop of the weekend. Big Man out!)”

Shiver “Hah! Friday wins! I knew everyone out there would see things my way.”
Frye “What?! Did my peeps have better things to do on Saturday than rep the cause?!”	Big Man “Ay... (Maybe they were like me and didn't get a spare moment until Sunday...)”
Shiver “Thanks to everyone who made it happen! May your Friday nights be forever full.”
Frye “I know Team Saturday tried. You coulda done anything, but you were here with us!”	Big Man “Ay. Ay. (Team Sunday must've been too relaxed to push us over the top. I get it.)”
Shiver “Let's celebrate this Friday night. We could blow off steam with some Grizzco shifts!”
Shiver “Then it's back to the studio to rehearse some lyrics I've been writing. Sound good?”	Frye “You want to celebrate going off the clock with... more work?!”
Shiver “Not more work. DIFFERENT work. Fun work!”	Big Man “Ay? (Shiver... are Fridays your favorite because of the work part?)”
Shiver “Alright, you caught me. But why not? I love what I do, and on Fridays I get to do it.”	Frye “Weird, but I kinda get it. I mean, it's the one weekend day I know I'll see you two!”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay. (True! If weekends are for hanging out with friends, maybe Friday IS best.)”
Shiver “Yes, we just established that. Welcome to the winning team!”

Haya “Wat is de leukste dag van het weekend? Vrijdag, zaterdag of zondag?” (What's the best day of the weekend? Friday, Saturday or Sunday?)	Muriël “Het weekend duurt voor jullie maar drie dagen? Hm. Oké, interessant.” (The weekend lasts only three days for you guys? Hm. Okay, interesting.)
Haya “Het weekend is het beste als het nog vers is. En dat is op vrijdag. Duidelijke zaak.” (The weekend is the best when it is still fresh. And that is on Friday. Clear-cut case.)	Muriël “Het is pas echt weekend op zaterdag, dat weet toch iedereen!” (It is only truly weekend on Saturday, surely everybody knows that!)
	Ray “Ay? Ay! (Ben ik de enige die van zondagen houdt? De perfecte dag om te ontspannen!)” (Ay? Ay! (Am I the only one who likes Sundays? The perfect day to unwind!))
Haya “Ontspannen? Jij hebt tijd om te ontspannen in het weekend? Er is zoveel beters te doen!” (Unwind? You have time to unwind in the weekend? There are so many better things to do!)
	Ray “Ay! Ay... (Alles mag in het weekend! Behalve meer werk, alsjeblieft...)” (Ay! Ay... (Anything goes in the weekend! Except more work, please...))
Muriël “Daarom is 'vrijdag' ook zo'n misleidende naam. De helft van de dag ben je niet vrij!” (That is why "Friday" is such a misleading name. Half of the day you are not off!)
Notes: Vrij as in vrijdag ("Friday") means "free, off (as in "not working")".
Haya “Maar daarom voelt de vrijheid juist extra vrij! Er gaat niks boven vrijdagavond!” (But that is precisely why the freedom feels extra free! There is nothing better than Friday evening!)
Haya “In één klap moet je niks meer en mag je alles. Het is jouw avond!” (In one fell swoop you no longer have to do anything and anything goes. It is your evening!)	Ray “Ay? Ay? (Mijn avond? Wanneer mocht ik voor het laatst kiezen wat we deden op vrijdag?)” (Ay? Ay? (My evening? When was the last time I was allowed to choose what we did on Friday?))
	Muriël “Oké, ik ontken niet dat een vrije avond leuk is. Maar weet je wat nog leuker is?” (Okay, I do not deny that a free evening is enjoyable. But do you know what is more enjoyable?)
	Muriël “Een hele vrije dag! Op zaterdag kun je het zo bont maken als je wilt!” (A whole free day! On Saturday you can overdo it as much as you like!)
Haya “En wat doe jij ook alweer met al die vrije tijd op je zaterdagen?” (And what is it that you do again with all that free time on your Saturdays?)
Muriël “Geen flauw idee, ik vergeet ze meteen weer. Daarom zijn zaterdagen ook zo speciaal!” (I don't have a clue, I forget them right away. That is also why Saturdays are so special!)	Ray “Ay?! (Hoe leuk kan je zaterdag zijn, als je hem meteen bent vergeten?!)” (Ay?! (How enjoyable could your Saturday be, if you forget it right away?!))
Muriël “Nou, vertel mij dan maar eens wat er zo speciaal is aan zondag? Ik ben benieuwd!” (Well, then try telling me what is so special about Sunday? I am curious!)	Ray “Ay. (Nou, vrijdagen ben ik meestal met jullie, en zaterdag met familie.)” (Ay. (Well, on Fridays, I am usually with you guys, and Saturday with family.))
	Ray “Ay. (Dus dan heb ik een heerlijke zondag voor mezelf nodig om wat bij te komen.)” (Ay. (So then I need a glorious Sunday for myself to take a breather.))
Muriël “Wat? Een dag met iets minder stress is al genoeg om je lievelingsdag te zijn?” (What? A day with somewhat less stress is already enough to be your favorite day?)	Ray “Ay... (Wie het kleine niet eert...)” (Ay... (If you can't appreciate the little things in life...))
Notes: From the proverb wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd (literally "Who does not honor small things, is not worthy of great things").
Muriël “Booee! Je moet groter denken! Jouw weekend klinkt slaapverweekend!” (Boooo! You have got to think bigger! Your weekend sounds soporific!)
Notes: "Slaapverweekend" is a combination of slaapverwekkend ("soporific") and weekend.
Haya “Daarom zijn mijn vrijdagen groots genoeg voor een heel weekend. En dus de beste dag.” (That is why my Fridays are great enough for a whole weekend. And thus the best day.)
	Muriël “Nee, joh. Alles draait om zaterdag. Je zou mijn ontbijt moeten zien op zaterdagochtend!” (No, dude. Everything revolves around Saturday. You should see my breakfast on Saturday morning!)
	Ray “Ay. Ay! (Nah, zondag is het slotakkoord van de week. En daarna volgt altijd applaus!)” (Ay. Ay! (Nah, Sunday is the final chord of the week. And is always followed by applause!))

	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик. (Они для чего угодно! Но главное, не для работы.)» (Ay! Ay. (It's for anything! But most importantly, not for work.))
Мурия «Вот! Вот поэтому пятница и тухлая! Работа, школа, фу! Скукотища!» (Exactly! That's why Friday is dry! Work, school, ew! So boring!)
Notes: Тухлый tukhlyy ("rotten") is a weapon freshness equivalent to "dry".
Кулла «Нет, именно поэтому она свежачок! Это ощущение, когда дел больше нет...» (No, that's exactly why it's fresh! That feeling when there's no more work left to do...)
Кулла «Сразу забываешь про накопившийся за неделю стресс. Весь вечер твой!» (You immediately forget about the stress that has accumulated over the week. The whole evening is yours!)	Биг Ман «Ик? Ик?

Кулла «Расскажи-ка подробнее про свои великие субботние планы. Всем интересно!» (Come on then, tell us more about your great Saturday plans. We're all curious!)
Мурия «Э-э. Не помню! Я их сразу забываю. В этом весь смысл субботы!» (U-uh. I don't remember! I forget them instantly. That's the whole point of Saturday!)	Биг Ман «Ик?! (Что хорошего может быть в том, что так легко забывается?!)» (Ay?! (What good can come from something that gets forgotten so easily?!))
Мурия «Эй! Ладно, а вот чем ты по воскресеньям занимаешься?» (Hey! Okay, and what are you doing on Sundays?)	Биг Ман «Ик. (Ну, пятницы я провожу с вами, а субботы с семьей.)» (Ay. (Well, I spend Fridays with you two, and Saturdays with my family.))
	Биг Ман «Ик. (И после всего этого мне нужно воскресенье, чтобы прийти в себя.)» (Ay. (And after all this I need a Sunday to recover.))

Мурия «У-у-у!!! Я бы со скуки стухла! Что это за выХУДной от слова «худо»?!» (Bo-o-o!!! I'd rot of boredom! What's this WEAKend from the word «weak»?!)
Notes: The word худо khudo means "something bad/ill" or "harm".

Al fin y al cabo, es el único día del finde en que estamos los tres juntos.» (I see... After all, Friday is the only day of the weekend in which the three of us are together.)
	Rayan «¡Zasss! (¡Eso es cierto! Para estar con amistades, no hay nada como los viernes.)» (Ay! (That's true! For being with your friendships, there's nothing like Fridays.))
Megan «Exacto. ¡Finalmente entendieron! ¡Bienvenidos al equipo ganador!» (Exactly. You finally understood! Welcome to the winning team!)

Megan «¿Qué día del fin de semana preferís? ¿El viernes, el sábado o el domingo?» (Which day of the weekend do you like the most? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?)	Angie «¿Vuestros fines de semana tienen tres días solamente? Que curioso...» (Your weekends only have 3 days? How curious...)
Megan «¡Que empiece la marcha cuanto antes! Yo voto por el viernes, obviamente.» (Let the party begin as soon as possible! I vote for Friday, obviously.)	Angie «Como quieras. Todos sabemos que el núcleo conceptual del fin de semana es el sábado.» (Whatever. Everyone knows Saturday is the core of the weekends.)
	Rayan «Zasss... (Llamadme rarito si queréis, pero me chiflan los domingos para descansar...)» (Ay... (Call me strange if you want, but I love Sundays because I can relax...))
Megan «¿Descansar? ¡Yo prefiero aprovechar el finde para tener actividad a tope!» (Relax? I preffer enjoying weekends with lot of activity!)
	Rayan «¡Zasss! (¡Pues vale! Cada cual tiene su gustos. Mientras no haya que trabajar...)» (Ay! (Ok then! Everyone has their own tastes. As long as you don't have to work...))
Angie «Por eso no me gustan tanto los viernes. En parte son aún días de trabajo o escuela.» (That's why I don't like Fridays that much. Fridays are still days of work or school.)
Megan «Pero justo cuando terminan tus obligaciones y te sientes libre... ¡es todo un subidón!» (But right when you finish all your responsibilities and feel freedom... Such a buzz!)
Megan «¡Te olvidas de los malos ratos! ¡Todo lo mejor esta por venir! ¡La noche es joven!» (You forget about bad times! The best is yet to come! The night is young!)	Rayan «Zasss... (Pues yo no recuerdo la última vez que tuve tiempo libre un viernes...)» (Ay... (I don't remember the last time I had free time on a Friday...))
	Angie «Ya, ya. Mola pasarlo bien hasta las tantas de la noche. Pero hay algo mucho mejor...» (Well, staying up late is cool. But there's something better...)
	Angie «¡El sábado es puro disfrute! ¡Tienes el día libre enterito para hacer lo que te plazca!» (Saturday is full enjoying! You have all day for yourself!)
Megan «¿Un día entero para hacer exactamente qué? A ver, cuéntanos...» (Come on then, a full day for yourself to do what exactly?)
Angie «¡Yo qué sé! ¡Lo que me apetezca! Esa es la mejor parte. ¡Cada sábado es especial!» (I don't know! All I want! That's the best part, every Saturday is special!)	Rayan «¿Zasss? (¿No tienes ningún plan fijo, pero dices que son días especiales?)» (Ay? (You don't have a settled plan, but you say they're special?))
Angie «Exacto. Seguro que son bastante más emocionantes que tus fines de semana...» (Exactly! I'm sure they're more exciting than your weekends...)	Rayan «Zasss. (Yo los viernes estoy con vosotras aún, y los sábados visito a mi familia.)» (Ay. (On Fridays I'm still with you two, and I visit my family on Saturdays.))
	Rayan «Zasss. (Así que aprovecho el domingo para relajarme y estar tan a gusto yo solo)» (Ay. (So I use the Sunday to relax and be at ease with myself.))
Angie «O sea, para ti el concepto de fin de semana es estresarte menos que otros días, ¿no?» (So, your definition of weekend is to feel less stress than other days, am I wrong?)	Rayan «Zasss... (Pues sí. Cada uno necesita lo que el cuerpo le pide, ¿no?...)» (Ay... (You are. Everyone needs what they really feel, right?... ))
Angie «Que rollo de fin de semana, entonces... ¡Desmelénate un poco alguna vez, Rayan!» (What a weekend of boredoom! Get wild once, Big Man!)
Megan «Ya veréis el plan que os tengo preparado para el viernes. ¡Os haré cambiar de idea!» (You'll see the plan I have prepared for you two this Friday. I'll change your mind!)
	Angie «Ya quisieras. ¡Nada mejorará lo que tengo previsto yo para el desayuno del sábado!» (You whish. Nothing will top the breakfast I have planned for Saturday!)
	Rayan «¡Zasss! (¡Pues yo el domingo pienso hacer huelga de micrófonos caídos! ¡Hasta otra!)» (Ay! (Then on Sunday I won't say a word! See ya!))
Notes: In a real scenario, a strike of fallen microphones (huelga de micrófonos caídos) would imply that the microphones (used for public speaking or transmitting information) are 'fallen', meaning that nobody is using them. This idea can be extrapolated as a situation in which nobody wants to speak or communicate.

  • Furthermore, the calendar for Friday has no sheets torn off, the calendar for Saturday has one sheet torn off (signifying a day after Friday), and the calendar for Sunday has two sheets torn off (signifying two days after Friday).
• In the announcement dialogue, Big Man mentions he spends Friday with Shiver and Frye, Saturday with his family, and Sunday by himself to relax, possibly referencing the theme of Friends vs. Family vs. Solo.
• From this Splatfest, the unique versions of Ego Overboard from Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man return for when players win a 10x, 100x, or 333x Battle.^[2][3]
