Fish: You’re not from around here.
Man: I saw the brook from the bridge.
Fish: So, are you lost?
Man: I’m late for work, and my wife’s mad at me. I also need to mow the grass and call my mother, and it’s all becoming too much.
Fish: I’ve heard about guilt but don’t know it.
Man: Can I give mine to you? One tiny moment. I promise I’ll take it back.
Fish: Fin to finger for 60 seconds.
Man: Scout’s honor.
One minute lapses.
Fish: Hey, where are you floating off to?
Man: I don’t know.
Fish: I’m sorry.
