Dialogue
When cutting down a tree:
- "Again! Let's chop another!"
- "This is AWESOME!"
- "Die! Die!"
- "This is what I live for!"
- "Stupid tree!"
- "I feel ALIVE!"
- "We did it!"
- "HaHAHA!"
- "Woooooo!"
- "YEEEESS!"
When cutting down a Gem Tree:
- "So, stone trees . . . what's up with that?"
When cutting down a Cactus:
- "When you think about it, cacti are just prickly trees!"
When placed in a storage item / When sold:
- "This sucks."
- "It's dark in here!"
- "Help! Get me out!"
- "There's nothing to chop in here!"
- "I'm claustrophobic!"
When placed back into the inventory:
- "Oh, thank goodness!"
- "From now on we'll be inseparable."
- "Ahh, I'm back where I belong."
When idle:
- "Hey! Chop some trees!"
- "This is perfect chopping weather."
- "Chop chop chop. Heh."
- "We make a good team!"
- "Let's find a small grove and just go nuts!"
When thrown on the ground:
- "You'll come back, right?"
- "Hey! I'd never throw you away!"
- "Don't forget about me!"
- "Aren't we friends?"
- "You're abandoning me?!"
Notes

Lucy the Axe's emote.
- Lucy the Axe seems to cycle through its dialogue rather than picking randomly.
- It will make the player emote the Axe emote whenever it speaks.
Tips
- Lucy is tied for the second-highest axe power in the game, making it the best pre-Hardmode axe along with the Molten Hamaxe and the Axe of Regrowth.
- This item can be viable as a weapon if Deerclops is defeated early enough into progression, though this only really applies in Classic Mode, as defeating the boss in said difficulty is comparably easy and most weapons work well due to the relatively low strength of most enemies.
Trivia
- Lucy the Axe is the only item with dialogue.
- The tooltip is a reference to Woodie's dialogue when examining Lucy the Axe in Don't Starve, which is, in turn, a reference to the popular 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy.
