Talk

  1. “My husband fished every day for forty years. Caught one fish. Big one. Kept it over the mantle. He bought it here, of course.”
  2. “The rod comes with a fry on it. Fish love a fry. Fish and drunks. Same customer, really. One's just wetter.”
  3. “Hot dogs get you crabs. I don't make the rules. Well, I make the rules in here. But not that one.”
  4. “Beginner lures are for the lake and the bay. Out past the reef you'll want better lures, a better boat, and a will.”
  5. “Cook your catch before you sell it to Dot. She pays more for cooked. I asked her why once. She said 'fire.' Then she walked off.”
  6. “If a fish bites you, that's normal. Just bite it back. Now, that's not official advice. That's just how I was raised.”

Shop greetings

  • “Tackle. Rods, lures, the odd hot dog. Don't eat the hot dog. I mean, you can. It's a free island.”
  • “Every fisherman comes in here sooner or later. Usually later. Usually wet.”

Quips

After you buy

  • “Tight lines. That's what we say. I don't know why. Nobody ever told me.”
  • “That'll catch something. I can't promise what.”

When you can't afford it

  • “That's more than you've got. I checked. Well, I didn't check. But I can tell.”

When your bag is full

  • “No room in your bag. Sell some of those fish first. They're not getting any fresher. Neither are we.”

After you sell

  • “I'll take that off your hands. Your hands look relieved.”
  • “That's a decent rod. Not a great rod. But it's honest, and you can't say that about most rods.”

When it is sold out

  • “Out of those. Come back tomorrow. The delivery comes in the morning. The delivery is me, walking here with a box.”

When they don't buy it

  • “I can't give you anything for that. Nobody can. It's a sad thing to be holding.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Well! I never. I did, once. My husband. He came back for the rod.”
  • “Off you go, then. Rude! Bring back a fish, at least.”
  • “Okay, then. I'll finish it for the next one. They never stay either.”
