In Hoyle 3, Graham has his own messages. However they are largely generic, and he doesn't get into character as much as some of the other characters do.
If anything he is one of the more serious characters and most of his speech is proper (but largely in modern style). He refers to his opponents moves or success as 'worthy', 'extraordinary', 'excellently' or 'masterful', 'champion', 'extremely well',
Although he will make a scorn for bad plays, he is not one to become overly angry. He is generally respectful and humble, more likely to show kindness and praise and never insults. Even if he loses, he remains respectful and simply asks to play another game. If the player loses he consoles the player and tells them they might be better in the next game (he does not gloat).
One of his most common phrases is 'fortunate' and 'unfortunate' depending on how well he or the player is doing.
The few times he even nods to his position, is when he tosses a reference to the player being a 'royal opponent' in Checkers, and an opponent 'fit for a king' during a pachisi match if they win.

0 It seems I have rolled high.
1 As I rolled high, I will play first.
2 I will take the first play.
3 Since your roll was higher, you should take the first play.
4 You must go first, as you had the high roll.
5 As yours was the higher roll, you will go first.
6 It's not time to roll the dice yet.
7 You should wait until it's time to roll the dice.
8 You really can't roll the dice just yet.
9 I don't believe you can make that play at this time.
10 The rules do not allow for the play you seem to be trying.
11 The play you are attempting is invalid.
12 This seems to be a good time to double.
13 I believe I'll call for a double now.
14 I'm doing so well, I'd like to call for a double!
15 I have no choice but to accept your double.
16 I suppose I'll have to accept your double.
17 I accept your double.
18 I'm very sorry, but I cannot double at this time. I will resign.
19 I'm in no position to accept your double. I concede the game to you.
20 I can't accept that double. It looks like you've won this game.
21 I'm afraid you can't double now -- the next double is mine.
22 I believe you doubled last time, so you can't double now.
23 I must be the next one to double.
24 We can only double at the start of a turn.
25 It's not time to double now.
26 You'll have to wait until the start of your next turn to double.
27 We can't double this game again, you know.
28 We appear to have doubled as much as we can.
29 This game really can't be doubled again.
30 If you can only use one die, use the larger one.
31 The rules say you have to use the larger die.
32 You should use the highest die, if you can only use one.
33 That man is off the board.
34 That man is out of play now.
35 You've already borne that man off.
36 I'm afraid you have a man on the bar still.
37 You won't be able to move until you've got that man off the bar.
38 You really can't move while you have a man on the bar.
39 I think you ought to roll the dice first.
40 It would be best to roll the dice first.
41 You really should roll the dice first.
42 Excuse me, but that's my man.

45 I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass.
46 It appears I'll have to pass this turn.
47 I have no choice but to pass.
48 It looks like you're going to have to pass.
49 I'm sorry, but you'll have to pass.
50 You're going to have to pass this time.
51 I was careless to leave that man open.
52 I can see I'm going to need all my luck against you.
53 Ah, you've got me this time -- I shall have to be more careful in the future.
54 I had to take that man, you see -- he was in the open.
55 I hope this won't set you back too far, but I had to do that.
56 You should be more careful about leaving a man open like that.
57 I'm afraid you can't begin bearing off just yet.
58 You really shouldn't begin bearing off until all your men are in your home court.
59 You seem to be getting ahead of yourself -- you can't begin to bear off yet.
60 By all means, roll again!
61 Don't forget you can roll again.
62 You have another roll coming.

3 The rules don't allow you to advance a blockade.
4 You'll have to move those pawns to two different spaces.
5 You won't be able to move both of those to the same space.
6 I don't believe that's the right square for the roll you made.
7 Perhaps you should count your roll again.
8 I think you should count again and start that move over.
9 You could enter a pawn on that roll.
10 Since you rolled a one, you could enter a pawn.
11 You have the choice of entering a pawn on that roll.
12 I've made a blockade there.
13 My blockade should keep you in place for a while.
14 I've erected a blockade.
15 Oh, my - you've constructed a blockade!
16 That's going to slow me down just a bit.
17 Hmmm. A blockade.
18 As your roll is highest, you may begin the game.
19 You rolled highest. You may go first.
20 I believe your roll was highest. You should go first.
21 My roll is highest, so I will begin.

27 You're not finished moving yet.
28 You must move the complete count of the dice.
29 I believe you haven't yet finished moving.
30 You mustn't make that move -- it's invalid.
31 I don't believe that is a valid move.
32 The rules don't allow for that move.
33 Oh, my! You've rolled three doublets in a row -- bad luck!
34 I'm afraid you're going to have to lose a turn for three doublets.
35 You'll have to lose a turn now.
36 What awful luck -- three doublets!
37 I really didn't want to roll that third doublet.
38 Now I must lose a turn.
39 You've captured my pawn!
40 Ah, you've captured my pawn! A good move on your part.
41 Excellent move, capturing my pawn.
42 As you can see, I've captured your pawn.
43 I've captured your pawn!
44 A lucky move on my part.
45 You have another roll.
46 Go ahead, roll again.
47 Don't forget to roll again.
48 You played excellently and you won!
49 An opponent fit for a king! Let's play again!
50 You've bested me fairly. Will you allow me another chance to win?
51 I won this game, but perhaps your luck will be better next time.
52 I was fortunate to win this time. Shall we play again?
53 You played well. Would you like another chance to win?
54 It won't be possible for you to move now.
55 It seems you'll have to pass.
56 You'll have to pass.
57 It looks like I'll have to pass.
58 Since I cannot move, I pass.
59 I pass.
60 I'll attempt to beat that roll.
61 I think I can do better than that.
62 Let's see if I can do better.
63 That roll isn't sufficient to enter a pawn.
64 If you want to enter a pawn, you must first roll a three.
65 You won't be able to enter a pawn until you have rolled a three.
