Oh, you think so, do ya? Well, now listen to me, I'm gonna tell you something. I ain't so dumb! Fussin' around like that will make him think the fishin' is good here. Then, in the mornin', when the fog banks roll in, we'll sneak out and leave him sittin' here. Baitin' big and catchin' small, while we're out findin' fish! We'll have a full hole and be tied up in Gloucester by the first of August and he'll still be out here, flounderin' around, tryin' to catch fish or I'll look more like a halibut than he did.
