Talk

  1. “Cobb. Tackle. People ask, Cobb, what's there to catch around a volcano? Plenty. The water's warm. The fish are lazy. You just have to get to them before they cook.”
  2. “You fish off the black beach, the water steams a little. That's normal. If the water's boiling, that's not fishing anymore. That's soup.”
  3. “Best lures this side of the mountain. The only lures this side of the mountain. You see where I'm going with that. It's a very small market. I'm the king of it.”
  4. “Fella fished the crater once. Lowered a line right down into the lava. Pulled it up, no hook, no line, no fella. That last part I made up. But the first part's true.”
  5. “I'll buy back your lures. Not your fish. Fish go to Ida at the shed. She smokes them. I'd smoke them myself but I quit. The volcano didn't. So I'm getting it anyway.”

Shop greetings

  • “Tackle. For the patient angler. Out here patience is easy. There's nothing else to do.”
  • “Back again. Caught anything? Don't tell me. It's always the one that got away. Or melted.”

Quips

After you buy

  • “Good lure. Keep it out of the lava. That sounds obvious. You'd be surprised.”
  • “There you go. Go stand on a rock and look at the sea. That's ninety percent of fishing. The other ten's lying.”

When you can't afford it

  • “You're short. Catch something, sell it to Ida, come back. Round and round. Like a fish in a bucket.”

When your bag is full

  • “No room in your bag. I'd hold it for you but I'd sell it. I know myself. I've known me a long time.”

After you sell

  • “I'll take it. Somebody'll want it. Somebody always wants a lure. Fish mostly don't. That's the irony.”

When it is sold out

  • “All gone. More tomorrow. They come in a crate. The crate's always a little warm. I don't ask.”

When they don't buy it

  • “That's not tackle. I only buy tackle. I've been very clear about that. Mostly with myself.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Yeah, nah, that's fine. I wasn't going anywhere with it anyway.”
  • “Off you go, mate. The fish do that too. Usually with my hook.”
  • “Sweet as. I'll say the rest to the beach. Good listener, the beach. Bit hot.”
