Talk

  1. “Name's Dutch. Bait and tackle. People say, Dutch, a tackle shop in the desert? I say look around. It's an island. The desert's just the middle part.”
  2. “I carry the best lures this side of the water. Scientific ones. A fella explained the science to me once. He talked for an hour. I bought the lures to make him stop.”
  3. “The fish out here run big. Further out you get, the bigger they run. That's true of fish. It's also true of trouble. You'll find out which one bites first.”
  4. “Hot dogs work. Don't ask me why. Fish don't eat hot dogs in nature. Nobody eats hot dogs in nature. That's why they're so excited about it.”
  5. “I'll buy back your lures. Not your fish. Take the fish to Clem across the street. I don't handle fish. I just handle the things that fool them.”

Shop greetings

  • “Bait and tackle. Everything you need to catch a fish, except patience. I'm out of patience. Been out for years.”
  • “Back again. Catch anything? Don't tell me. I can smell it.”

Quips

After you buy

  • “Good choice. That one's fooled a lot of fish. Fooled me too. I paid full price.”
  • “There you go. Go get 'em.”

When you can't afford it

  • “You're short. Catch a few fish, sell 'em to Clem, come back. That's how the economy works out here. It's mostly fish.”

When your bag is full

  • “No room in that bag. I'd hold it for you, but I'd sell it. I know myself.”

After you sell

  • “I'll take it. Somebody'll want it. Somebody always wants a lure. Fish never do. But somebody does.”

When it is sold out

  • “All gone. More tomorrow. They come in a crate. I don't know who packs the crate. I've never asked. It's better that way.”

When they don't buy it

  • “That's not tackle. I only buy tackle. And lures. Which is tackle. I just like saying it twice.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Leavin'? That's fine. I'd leave too, if I had the energy.”
  • “Okay, then. I'll finish that thought later. Or never. Probably never.”
  • “Huh. Walked right off. Takes a lot of get-up for that. I respect it.”
