Talk

  1. “Bjorn. Tackle. People say, Bjorn, the lake's frozen. I say, that's why you need good tackle. The fish are under there. They're just being difficult.”
  2. “You cut a hole in the ice, you drop a line, you wait. Then you wait some more. Then you're me. That's how it happened to me.”
  3. “Best lures this side of the gorge. Also the only lures this side of the gorge. That's what you call a market position.”
  4. “Fella came up here with a hot dog for bait. Ice fishing. Hot dog. Caught a fish the size of a door. I don't understand nature. I just sell to it.”
  5. “I'll buy your lures back. Not your fish. Take the fish to Sid at the fish shed. He knows fish. I just know how to fool them.”

Shop greetings

  • “Tackle. For the patient man. Or the cold man. Up here they're the same man.”
  • “Back again. Caught anything? Don't tell me. It's always the one that got away.”

Quips

After you buy

  • “Good lure. It's fooled a lot of fish. Fooled me too. I paid retail.”
  • “There you go. Go stare at a hole in the ice. It's very relaxing until it isn't.”

When you can't afford it

  • “You're short. Catch something, sell it to Sid, come back. It's a circle. A cold circle.”

When your bag is full

  • “No room in your 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.”

When it is sold out

  • “All gone. More tomorrow. They come up in a crate. The crate's colder than I am.”

When they don't buy it

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

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Ha! Walking off on Bjorn! The fish do this too. Then I catch them.”
  • “Okay, okay! Go! I tell the story to the hole in the ice. It's a good listener.”
  • “Leaving already? That's alright. Everybody leaves in winter. It's always winter.”
