- Come on, let's go.|- Morning, noon and night.

- And it's been my experience that...|- Let's go, Fred.

Well, aren't you gonna finish|your beer?

While you're out in the afternoon,|they're biting in the morning...

Look, Fred, I think|I'd better go on back to town.

- Going back to town? You mean tonight?|- No, I mean now.

- But we just got here. I thought...|- I'm sorry, but I've got to.

- What are you sore about?|- I'm not.

- You sound sore.|- I'm not.

It's just that I remembered something.|That's all.

Bread and butter.|Let's get some chow and then we can...

- No, I wanna go back now.|- If that's the way you feel about it.

Guess I don't have a say|one way or the other.

Fred, here. Throw that stuff in the car.

And I'll settle up with Pop.

Okay, but I don't get it.

You come all the way up here,|turn around and go back.

Pop. Pop, we gotta leave.

- What's the damage?|- Leaving?

- Why don't you wait until morning?|- Come on. Let's have the bill.

Uh...

Let's see.

There's the cabin, $3, boat, 2.25.

There's bait, a dollar.

- Two beers is 40 cents and...|- Let's go, Pop, what is it?

Three dollars, 5.25...

...six twenty-five, 6.65...

If you don't wanna talk,|you don't wanna talk, that's all.

- See you tomorrow.|- Good night, kid.

Martha?

No, it's me.

Hey, what are you doing back|so soon?

- Something go wrong?|- No, no.

- You're all right, aren't you?|- Yeah, sure.

The fishing wasn't very good|and got kind of chilly.

The big outdoor man.

I remembered things I ought to take care of|at the office tomorrow...

...so we decided to come on back.

- To get something to eat?|- What? Oh, no.

Nails or no nails,|I guess I'd better fix something.

- You must be starved.|- Yeah, I am a little bit.

Don't expect anything fancy.|I didn't get a chance to shop today.

Anybody been around while I was gone?

No, but I've been away myself.

Wait a minute.|There was a man here just after you left.

What did he look like?

Oh, he was just average.

He was lame.

- Do you know anybody like that?|- No.

Guess he'll be back|if it's anything important.

You can set the table if you want...

What do you say let's eat|in the kitchen tonight? Do you want to?

- We could go out if you'd rather.|- I don't feel like going out.

All right.|Come on out and talk to me then.

I'll see what I can whip up.

Wait until I tell you about that Martha.

We almost wound up in the clink.

If I hadn't talked like a Dutch uncle,|we probably would have.

Frank?

- I'll be right there.|- Oh, all right.

How about a tomato omelet?|That sound good?

Yeah, that sounds great.

You know, honestly,|that Martha's a menace.

First, she breezed|right through a boulevard stop.
