Talk

  1. “Name's Barnaby. I fish. That's the whole story. People want more story. There isn't more. Sometimes there's a fish.”
  2. “Thirty years on this beach. The sea's been good to me. Not nice. Good. There's a difference. Ask anybody it was nice to. You can't. They drowned.”
  3. “Odette, over on the West Isle, plays the piano. On a still night you can hear it, if the wind's right. The wind's never right. But I know it's there.”
  4. “Folks ask, Barnaby, why fish here? I say the fish are here. They say the fish are everywhere. I say then I'm doing fine.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Oh. Well. That's the most anybody's listened in a while. So thank you.”
  • “Off you go, then. That's alright. I told you, there's no more story.”
  • “Rude. But the fish do it too. I've learned not to take it personal.”
