SeaChange (1998–2000): Season 4, Episode 6 - Paradise Reclaimed: The Art of Fishing - full transcript

'And it's Radio Riley,

people, all the way
around the Bay

as the Pearl Bay
Annual Fishing Comp

kicks off with adult,

junior and cadet trophies
for the longest catch

and a $20,000
cash prize

for the first person to catch
that rare stargazer cod.

It's ugly
but it's mighty.

So let's get on down
to the jetty, folks,

and let's see how long we keep
up this happy, chilled out vibe.

I hate this time of year.



It's me against the town.

I'm the party pooper

whilst everybody else
has a lovely time

shooting the breeze and
destroying our marine ecosystem.

I take it you're not entering
the fishing comp, then.

I totally would...
except our oceans

are on the verge of collapse
and we're all gonna die.

Besides, I'm going to have
my hands full

making sure that 200 anglers
don't catch anything they shouldn't.

You could, though...

Now that you're temporarily
unemployed.

Uh. No, I'm a scientist.
Not really a fisherman.

Although I did do
a paper once

on the burrowing habits
of the stargazer cod.



Of course you did.

So what exactly
is your stance on fishing?

Well, I don't do it.

Ethically, though,
if you want to be safe

the best way to kill a fish

is just to plonk it straight
into a bucket of ice water.

That slows down the metabolism

and then the fish just
gradually suffocates.

I hope your mother never ends up
on life support.

This is complete
and utter bullshit!

Trying to tell me...

- And we're off.
- Ooh.

Oh, where'd you get it?

I caught this fish fair and
square this morning, Shorty,

and you know it!

Think you can pull the wool
over my eyes?

I'm the treasurer
of this fishing club!

Okeydokey, alright.

If anyone's breaching fishing regulations,
talk to me.

Stay out of this.
This is nothing to do with your rules.

I need to release my catch!

Not before
I look at it.

As regional head of
Parks and Fauna

I am respectfully asking you
to step away from the esky.

Oi, you two.

You heard her...
step away.

Don't you dare!
Don't you dare!

Get off me, you prick!

That's enough!

Or I'll charge you
with assault.

*SEACHANGE*
Season 04 Episode 06

*SEACHANGE*
Title: "Paradise Reclaimed , Part 6"

And we have a community message, folks,

that's just come in from
Senior Sergeant Anna Kazan.

If anyone has seen our fishing
club president, Phillip Tran,

since his morning
paddle,

could they please contact
the Pearl Bay police.

Hey.

Any more news on Phil?

Marine Rescue just found
his board round at Crib Point.

We should probably go
pick it up, eh?

Yes, Sarge.

It's not looking good for my holiday
to Queensland.

- Well, you can't cancel.
- I know.

Mum's already planned
the entire trip.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

I can handle
whatever happens here,

and Marine Rescue
are on the job.

Mm-hm.

Maybe Phil just got washed
around the bay.

Oh, god, what about
the fishing competition?

I'll deal with it.

And maybe it'll be different
this year.

Maybe we'll have a happy
little fishing comp

where nobody uses dynamite

or gets caught
in their own fishing tackle

or speared
by a leaping marlin.

- Oh, that'd be nice, wouldn't it?
- Yeah.

- Open up!
- What's going on in there?

I think we have a situation,
Sarge.

It's all yours, Lil.

Hello.
Sergeant Anna Kazan speaking.

We share your concerns

but we're doing everything
we can to find Phil,

and the fishing competition
is still going ahead as planned.

- Where's our money?
- Yeah, where's our money?

- It's been 30 days. Finders keepers.
- What 30 days?

30 days since the black
packages full of cash washed up.

Anna said we could
keep the money

if no-one showed up
for it.

Sergeant Kazan said that the money
would be returned to the community.

Exactly how has yet to be decided.

Well, has anyone owned up?

30 days does not include
the fishing comp.

The money is safe
in our possession.

Now move along.
I've got a fishing comp to get to.

Rocco, my friend.

Uh. Good news,
very good news.

Jelly Enterprises is now
the

sole owner of the Come On Inn
caravan park property.

Well done, Bobby, well done.

Yeah, yeah,
it was a tricky negotiation.

Kevin had to leave town but
we got there in the end.

So where are we at
with construction?

Construction, yes.

Um... just a small hiccup
with releasing the finance.

You've got to move on it fast!

My thoughts exactly.

So I'll need someone to assist me, pronto.

Someone who has
complementary skills like...

...break-and-enter.

Look, if you want the job done
well, mate, you do it yourself.

Hey?
I wouldn't know where to begin.

No, no, no, that's the
wrong attitude, mate, OK?

It's all about
retraining and upskilling.

It's all online... everything
you need for the perfect crime.

Look, I'll point you
in the right direction.

Time's up, Rocco.

Says who, King Kong?

Rocco?
Rocco?

I haven't got a computer.

Rocco!

Oh, morning.

How is my timing?

It is improving,
as is your coffee.

Hey, I didn't know
you were this year's sponsor.

Neither did I.

I've got zero interest in fishing

or anything else that gets
me up before the sun does.

Yeah, but there's a big prize
for the lucky fish.

Look, $20,000 for the first
person to land a stargazer cod.

Look, I am slightly
interested in that.

- I thought you couldn't fish.
- I didn't say I couldn't.

My dad used to force us
to go fishing with him

every weekend of my childhood.

Oh, you poor thing.

Well, I never caught
a fish in my life,

which is probably
a good thing

because it would only be
one more thing

for Miranda to hold
against me.

Excuse me. Sorry,
I'm vibrating.

Hello, Phil.

You cheeky bastard,
where are you?

Oh. Hello, Sergeant.

No, last time I saw him...

Friday night at the pub.

Thanks.

Um... that was the cops.

They found Phil Tran's
phone down at the beach.

I hope he hasn't done
anything stupid.

Oh, dear.
Why would he?

Well, any man that sits
in my bar most nights

doing the crossword and eating
peanuts has got some issues.

Including yourself.

So how is Mr Shortland
justifying this assault?

The defendant claims he was
trying to prevent a case

of blatant fish fraud, Your Honour.

All I wanted was the esky.

- And he got in my way.
- Alright, Mr Shortland.

Continue, please.

He reckons he got that sweetlip
this morning with live bait.

You're far more likely to hook a
sweetlip with a lure, Your Honour.

Thank you, Constable.

Even I can tell that fish
wasn't caught this morning.

Ugh, that smells disgusting!

Yeah. Eyes are cloudy.

Yes.

Is that a piece of newspaper
in its mouth?

You're right, Your Honour...
the 'Bay Times'.

And the only place in town that
still wraps fish in newspaper

is the Pearl Bay fish shop.

See! He's a cheat!

He's the criminal here, and
he tried to hide the evidence!

Mr Shortland, I realise
your fishing competition

has its own peculiar
rules and regulations

but it is not against the law
to dump a dead fish into the ocean.

I think the violence
you inflicted was intentional,

and this matter of fish fraud
has convinced me of that.

This is a load of crap!

I find you guilty of the
charge of common assault.

You're fined $1,000.

It's ridiculous! You'll regret this.

And I'm recommending attendance
at an anger management clinic.

Thank you.

Oh, all stand.

Here, Judge.

Shorty asked me
to pass this on.

Oh, case is over.
No correspondence.

I don't think it's for you.

It's addressed to Miranda.
See ya.

It's a letter of demand.

The fishing club wants back rent
for this building.

- That's $18,000 for the past year!
- How much?

I thought that
they were letting us off.

Exactly.

The president, Phil Tran, said that
we could have a little bit more time.

Phil as in the one
who's missing?

Leaving the charming
Mr Shortland in charge.

This is payback.

Awww, now, don't forget
Monday is bin night.

- Mm-hm.
- And Thursday afternoon is lawn mowing.

- Mm-hm.
- And don't forget to set the alarms.

- Of course not.
- And Phil...

Marine Rescue are doing
everything they can.

- I'll keep you posted.
- Oh, my god.

What about the fishing competition?

It got off to a rocky start
but I'm sure it will settle.

- You...
- Yes, just go.

OK. Oh, I'm proud of you.

Bye.

Bye.

I'd like a word with Mr Shortland,
please.

You will not harass my daughter
like this.

It's simple...
she's behind in her rent.

So the court case this morning

had nothing to do with your
letter of demand, is that right?

Could we put this on hold, Judge?

Mr Shortland's late for
his anger management class

and I have to get to the jetty.

The only reason
your kid got away with it

was because
Phil ran the club finances

as badly as
he ran his leisure cruises.

This is intimidation.

You're punishing my daughter
for the sentence I gave you.

Don't worry, this isn't over

until your daughter
coughs up 18,000 bucks.

Oooh.

Kiddo, kiddo, kiddo, psst!

Any luck with that little
favour?

Oh, yeah.

Um, Nan said you can have
it for as long as you want.

- Oh.
- She's upgraded.

Gee!

Any technical support?
You'll have to text me.

'This isn't theft,
this is a redistribution of wealth.

To prepare for the perfect crime

you'll need to assemble a few
simple household items...

An empty drink can,

a good pair of scissors,

a few paperclips

and a credit card.

Now you're ready
for your journey

through step one,
choosing your disguise,

through to the final
step, stashing the loot

as we teach you to break
into almost anywhere.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Jeez!

Ow!

What now?

OK, disable the alarm.

Disable the alarm.

Disabled it.

Step three, step three.

Easy.

You ripper!

Joe has finally gone down.

Did you find Phil's letter
about the rent?

Eventually.

You know, there is supposed
to be a system to filing...

Category, alphabet, date.

- The letter?
- It's too vague.

Just says "You can have longer".

Sweetheart...

...you've spent a lot of
money on sausage sizzles.

That's campaigning!

Who else is gonna fight to keep
this place free from sand mining?

But you have to pay rent!

Yeah, I know, but my Parks
and Fauna budget is a joke.

I...

I just don't have the money
at the moment.

Well, maybe
I could help you out.

How? You already put in here.

You only work part-time.

I know that you lost money
on the London joint,

and Stella has fleeced you for the rest.

I'm sure I'm good for credit.

No, no, no, no, I don't want
you going into debt for me.

I'm a big girl and I will...

...I will work it out.

But thank you.

Here we are, folks, on day
two of the fishing comp,

where we all start to circle
each other as well as those fish.

And still no sign of Phil Tran.

Where are you, Phillip?
Where are you?

You've reached Kelly's Dog Grooming,
please leave a message.

Beep!

Hello?

Reverse charges?

Yes.

Phil!

Where are you, mate?

Yes, of course I know it.

See you soon, buddy.

Oh.

- Hi.
- Oh, um, you're early.

The coffee's not ready.

Oh, no, forget about the coffee.

I need you to take me
fishing before I start work.

I have to win that prize.

I really need that money
for Miranda.

Lovely vest. It's terrifying.

Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
Borrowed it from Stone.

Plus I have found the most
boring podcast on earth

plus I bought a three-day
fishing licence online.

Three days?

- Now that's commitment.
- Mm-hm.

Ah,
look, you should have warned me.

I've actually got my own
fishing date just this morning.

What? Where?

Well, it's a secret location,

guaranteed haunt of the
rare stargazer cod.

- Oh, but...
- I'd ask you along but

I said I'd go alone
with especially no talkers.

- Talkers?
- Mmm.

- You mean me?
- Well...

I don't think I talk any more
than anybody else.

At least I talk about
something meaningful.

It's not like I rabbit
on about fashion trends

or celebrities cheating on one another

or Barry's gambling problem

or the bad head on your shandy

or next-door neighbour's
mother's cousins or...

I'll just go and get some
pants on... some fishing pants.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

I'll call you. We'll fish.

We'll fish.

'And that prize money's
still up for grabs, people.

Tell me everything
you know

about the stargazer cod.

Morning. How are you?
Yeah, I'm good.

Where it's found, biology, feeding habits.

Uh, OK.

It's an ambush predator,

so it buries itself
down to its little eyes

in the sea floor.

Interesting.
What else?

It lures its prey in really,
really close

and can gobble it down
in 30 milliseconds.

So it's a very fast fish, yeah?

Very fast fish, yeah.

And it's bioelectrogenic.

- What does that do?
- Oh, that's very cool.

It can produce 50 volts of
electricity to fight off predators.

Do you think that you'd be
able to detect that charge?

I mean, if we dropped electrodes
down to the ocean floor

would you be able to pick it up?

Well...

No idea. I mean,
I've done it in the lab.

I think it's time
you branched out.

'Hello, listeners.

Welcome back to The Big Fish,

the great Australian
fishing podcast,

and to lesson four of your lifetime
of angling pleasure...

How to tie on your fly.

How hard could this be?

After tying your granny knot

pass the tag end of the line

through the loop of the
lure, just like so.

Mm-hm.

Now pass the tag end through
the loop of the loop knot.

And now pass the tag end through the
loop of the loop knot, just like so.

Wrap the tag end once,
twice, three times around.

Oh, wait! Dammit!

Now pass the tag end through
the loop of the loop.

Hang on, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

Now pass the tag end through
the loop of the loop.

- Three times around, just like so.
- I give up. I give up.

- Let's go through all that again now.
- I give up!

So you've ditched your board

and convinced everyone you've
had a terrible accident.

Why, Phil?

I got myself
in a bit of strife.

The bank wants to
repossess my cruise boat.

Then they'll want the house next,
and then...

Come on, I can't do that
to my ex and the kids.

How does faking your
own drowning help them?

Well, there's my life insurance,
mortgage insurance,

plus there's a bit of super.

But you could never see them again.

I'll help you face the music, mate.

Come on.

How? The cops'll arrest me.

How far do you live?

Down south.
It's about a 10-hour drive...

Alright, there's method
to my madness here.

So the theory is
we drop the wand in,

we drag it
across the sea bed floor,

we annoy
any lurking stargazer cod.

When they let out an electric charge
we pick it up on our screens.

Well, I've gone back through the
fisheries data over the last 10 years

and this is the only spot that's
come up twice for the stargazer.

You don't think we've got a bit
of an unfair advantage here?

There's nothing in the
fishing comp guidelines

against scientific know-how.

OK.

I mean, this only helps
locate the lucky fish.

There's still the small issue
of diving down and catching it.

Well, isn't it very
good that I know Aquaman?

- Yeah.
- Isn't it lucky he's unemployed?

Now, listen, ethically
it would be very good

if it was Aquaman who
actually caught the fish,

because I don't kill fish.

You know, so we'll do the whole
thing with the ice and all

but I have a reputation
to maintain, so...

You do?

Yeah.

Alright, I've got to go.
I've gotta go pick up Joe.

There are sandwiches
and water.

Is there anything
else that you need?

- No, I'm all... set.
- OK, all good.

Give me a call if you find anything.

Bye!

OK, final step...
stash the loot.

Final step.

Come on, final step.

Ow, jeez!

Stupid bloody engine.

Robert!

Hi, darl.

Engine trouble.

You're fishing?

Oh, the money.

Um, what money would that be,
darl?

Well, the prize money.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, Robert, I know how
much you've been struggling

but I am so proud of the way
you're handling your... failure.

My failure?

You've finally let go of
your impossible dreams

and deceptions

and fishing like an honest man!

Um...

...if you get lucky...

...maybe I could cook it for you.

Really?

At the house?

Yeah, well, I know how much

you've always loved my
beer-battered snapper.

Well, um... good luck out there.

Ohhh, "honest man".

Mate, second on the left upstairs.

Help yourself to anything you need.

Thanks, mate.

Hey yeah...

...your life crashed and burned.

How come you didn't run away?

You know what?

I've embraced the humiliation.

Mainly, though, I really
started to like it here.

- You locked the door!
- You again! Come in.

How was fishing... without me?

Quiet, but no fish.

I'm sorry I was so rude earlier

about you talking too much,

but it's absolutely true.

I know.

I even talk to myself too much.

But I am prepared
to shut up temporarily

because I really want
to win that prize.

That Shorty Shortland
idiot fishing club man

wants to charge Miranda rent
for her Parks and Fauna office.

Rent?
That is outrageous!

You know what?

I would be prepared to
take a motormouth fishing

if it meant sticking it up
Shorty McShortypants.

Good.

Just answer me one question.

Where have you hidden Phil?

'Let's face it, people
fishing's like love.

You put out your bait,
you wait for a nibble

and most days there's nothing.

But we keep on hoping
for the perfect catch.

Lillian gave you an ultimatum?

Yeah...

Get over it
and get in her tinny.

Get over what?

My irrational and...

...unfounded fear
of open water.

Well, not water per se,

just what's in it, under
it... lurking in it.

Come in.

Sorry, I need to leave this
evidence here while I go get Phil.

And the shark bite was faked, Your Honour.

Mr Tran,

staging your own death
is not a crime in itself,

but it is a crime if you gained
financially from your deception.

Your wife wasn't aware
of your deceptions.

Not that she would have
stopped me.

So there was no conspiracy to defraud.

I just wanted to get away.

I find you not guilty
of the charge of fraud

and conspiracy to defraud.

Use this second chance wisely.

I believe you've suffered
enough for your actions.

Thank you, Your Honour.

All stand.

Very nice work, Your Honour.

And thank you.

Would you like to come fishing
with me this afternoon?

Phil's loaned me his boat
while he still has one.

Mmm. I don't know.

You stood me up once already.

There's a bar on board.

Do you like margaritas?

Mmm, can't resist margaritas.

Made by your own
personal barman.

OK.

See you down at the jetty
in half an hour, Your Honour.

So, Zac...

That was a relief, huh?

What, the sentence?

Just that nothing happened to Phil.

He didn't drown, he wasn't
attacked... it was all fake.

He was never in danger.

Apart from a cold night on the beach.

Yeah, yeah-yeah.
So, um, hey...

How about we take that
tinny for a spin?

You sure?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling bloody good.

Ben?!

'Hello, listeners.

Welcome back to The Big Fish,

the great Australian
fishing podcast,

and to lesson 10 of your lifetime
of angling pleasure.

Time to review
those little extras

that every good fisherman needs,

starting with a nice sharp line...

Knock, knock.

Phil said he left the keys
to the 'Stargazer' here.

Oh, yeah,
they'll be here somewhere.

Oh, it's your boyfriend!
He's found something!

Quit it with the 'boyfriend' stuff.
You've got no phone etiquette!

- Gotta go.
- Enjoy.

Say hello to your boyfriend
from me.

All this bloody failure...

Just gonna grab some gear
from my car, but I'll be back.

Yeah, easy. I'll just leave Phil's
boat keys here for 'Stargazer'.

Thanks, mate.

...because you never know what
the next day's fishing will bring.

- Get the ice.
- Oh, yeah, OK!

Yep, yep.

Oh, my god, we did it!

You little ripper!

- Good one!
- Good work.

You are about to become local legend.

Alright, little guy, there you go.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Oh, it's blowing up already... look.

Even Shorty loves me.

It looks like we have incredibly
rare fish for dinner, then.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're gonna have to eat him.
It's only right.

- My place?
- Only because we can't waste a life.

No, no, it's like an ethical
dinner date, isn't it?

I'm thinking little bit of
lemon, garlic, on the barbec...

Oh, can you not?

Or we could just eat him.

Wrap the tag end once,
twice, three times around.

No, no, no. Go, you stupid boat, go!

Ben?!

Go, go, go.

Come on!

Go! Go, go!

- Bob Jelly?!
- Laura Gibson?!

- What are you doing here?!
- What are you doing here?!

I'm supposed to be meeting Ben.

I'm supposed to be going fishing.

- Well, he couldn't make it.
- What, so he sent you, did he?

No, I'm not going fishing.
I'm going on a holiday.

A little shack I know up the river.

You've hijacked Phil's boat.

- How else was I going to get there?
- Great!

No signal.
This is a complete disaster.

- Where are we?
- How would I know?

I'm a real estate agent, not a sailor.

All I know is I wanted
this barge to go right,

it went left, and now we're marooned.

We're out of petrol, Bob.

Oh. Well, we've got to get off this mud.

I was promised margaritas!
And I'm stuck here with you.

You're not exactly
my first choice either.

There's got to be some
more petrol here somewhere.

I need to get to my shack!

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Mayday, this is 'Stargazer'.

- Shh, shh, shhh!
- 'Stargazer'. Mayday!

Who did you call?

I don't know!

The Coast Guard, the police...

- anyone.
- Oh, god.

My life is over.

It's over.

I'll give you a hint...
It's not socks and undies.

I think it's best for both of us

if you tell me
as little as possible, Bob.

I do not want to know
what's in that bag,

and I don't even want
to know if it's yours.

I just wanted to do what
was best for this town.

The Pearl...

Your little slice of paradise, folks.

Prestigious lifestyle living

overlooking the turquoise
waters of Pearl Bay.

You never give up, do you?

I was going to do a runner.

Bad wig, new name, fly Heather
over to a Greek island.

Heather's never gonna leave Pearl Bay.

Not even for you.

When they find me with this bag

they'll chuck me in the slammer
and I'll lose her for good.

Might as well jump in the drink right now.

Well, if you did that

they wouldn't find you
with the bag, would they?

Uh, let's just say I had never
seen this bag before in my life...

What would be my options?

I'm in no position to advise you.

As your local magistrate

and a qualified lawyer

I cannot be seen to pervert
the course of justice.

No, no, no, course not, course not.

But I do have one rather
important question for you.

How well can you swim?

'Stargazer', calling 'Stargazer'.

Coast Guard, Bill Wyatt.

'Stargazer', come in, 'Stargazer'.

Coast Guard, Bill Wyatt.

Constable Liano.

Hey, Bill.

Do you know where?

Sure.

That was Marine Rescue. Change of plan.

- Take this.
- I think I'm...

No, sit down.
I need you.

There is a boat in trouble up the river.

I thought we were just fishing.

Ahoy, there, 'Stargazer'!

Anyone on board?

Hello!

Judge?

What happened?

Well, it's really strange.

I fell asleep on the deck
waiting for Ben to show up

and the next thing I knew I
woke up in the middle of nowhere.

Must've slipped her mooring.

Yeah.

That's odd. Phil's usually so careful.

Well, I suppose he's been under
a lot of pressure lately, so...

Mmm.

Zac, you'll have to take the tinny back.

Hey, this is freshwater, right?

It's like a river, so
it's not like the ocean...

Zac, I've never lied to you.

This river is full of bull
sharks and brown snakes

and God knows what else,
but I need you to do this...

For me.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

This was hidden behind the bar.

Wow.

What is going on in this town?

This is just like those
packages from the station.

No.

These are the packages from the station!

Do you think this was Phil?

No, he wouldn't try this.

What about Bob?

No, he could never pull this off.

Maybe it was some blow-in
from the fishing comp.

But how?

Oh, sugar.

When I went back to the
station this morning

the alarm wasn't armed.

I must have forgotten to set it.

It is this stupid fishing competition!

This is all my fault!
I'm going to have to call Anna!

She's gonna kill me!

Do you really want to
spoil her entire holiday?

- No.
- I mean, by the time

she gets home
this will be back where she left it.

The good thing is you found it.

That's true.

Like it never happened.

Yeah.

Ohhh.

Let's face it, Phil, neither of us

have been that impressive
on the business front.

Got a solution?

You're looking at him.

He's a qualified accountant

and he's agreed to do our books.

We've got a lot to learn
from that man.

Oh, Robert's been so
busy reinventing himself.

He's even learned
how to use a computer.

So sweet.

There is some method
in my madness, darl.

Just as long as there's no
madness in your method, Bob...

For all our sakes.

To Bob reinventing himself.

Robert.

Hey, Zac.

Here is to walking into the
jaws of death and surviving.

You ran
the tinny back to the jetty, Zac.

Yeah. It was epic, eh?

Whew! Cheers.

And the Pearl Bay Fishing Club

grand prize-winner for
this year's lucky fish,

the stargazer cod,

goes to our newest
resident, Mr Findlay Knox.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you, thank you.

I would love nothing more than
to accept

this comically oversized
cheque for myself,

but alas I've already been
coerced into donating it

to the local branch of Parks and Fauna.

Who are very appreciative.

And this should just about cover my rent.

Yeah!

I'm still anti-fishing.

Yeah.

And that...

...is your classic loop knot.

That took you five seconds!

I spent five hours trying
to master that knot,

and I'm a reasonably
intelligent woman.

Reasonably intelligent
but very noisy.

You've got to stop talking.

I just don't understand
the point of this.

- The point of what?
- Fishing!

I mean, the prize is gone.

All we can possibly hope
to achieve is a fish.

That very well may not happen

because my luck's dismal
and you won't stop talking.

But you knew that before we
started, so why are we fishing?

Because fishing is never
really about the fish.

Well, what is it about?

It's about spending time.

Doing nothing?

No... spending time.

I feel like
I'm in a Beckett play.

There's no need
to overthink it.

It's just fishing.

Well, I'm not sure I can do it.

You are doing it.

- Doing what?
- Exactly.

You are right here.

Right now.
