Thanks so much.

And good luck with the fishing.

- Yeah.

- Hey, try fishing.

You'll see.

- I'll give it a try.

- All right. he's a nice guy, huh?

Hey, what kind of accent

is that? Polish or somethin'?

- I think it's Irish.

- Yeah, Irish, Scottish.

Here. I'm glad y' all didn't buy

a bridge from that gentleman.

Why? He seemed

like a nice guy. He didn't

try to sell us anything.

- Seemed like a nice guy

havin' a tough time.

- Oh, really?

- Poor guy just recently

lost his wife, you know?

- Yeah.

Did you know you just recently

lost your car?

- there's a car just like mine!

- Joe, that's your car!

- It is! With my keys!

- [Tires Screeching]

- [Screaming]

- Hey, Joe!

Holy smokes!

[Woman]

it's simple.

When we find that guy

who stole my mom' s money

and broke her heart,

I'm gonna kill him.

- Food.

- What... What?

- Food.

- Oh, no. Come on.

We already lost two hours.

- Hi.

- Hi. How are you?

Okay.

What happened?

Oh, we just had ourselves

a little boatin' accident.

Some fella stole a car.

- Big mess.

- Oh, yeah?

He didn't happen to look

like this guy, did he?

Well, that was him.

- He was here!

- Well, when did he leave?

- A couple hours ago.

- Was he alone?

When he got here.

Then he sat over at that table

with a couple of fellas and...

they chit-chatted for a while

and... and he took their car.

Those guys whose car was stolen,

what about them?

Oh, you shouldn't have

any trouble findin' them. [Laughs]

[Laughs]

[Joe And Gus Panting]

My poor car, Gus.

My poor car.

My poor feet. Hey.

[Car Horn Honking]

[Boy In Car]

Hey, you dorks!

[Bird Squawking]

[Bird Squawking]

This trip ain't even a one.

it's a friggin' zero.

- It could be worse, Joe.

- How could it be worse?

You can't get any lower

than zero, right, Gus?

Hey, at least we're alive.

We almost got killed by our own boat.

My life stinks, Gus. But it stunk

a lot less when my car was in it.

- Yeah.

- That car meant a lot to me, Gus.

I got memories of that car

I can't even remember.

Yeah, but at least

we're goin' fishing.

Yeah.

- Hey, Joe?

- Yeah?

L-I was just thinkin;

Say, 100 years ago

we were goin' fishin;

- This is what we' d be doin'.

- What do you mean?

Yeah, think about it.

[Chuckles]

This is how we' d get

our boat to the water.

So we can't let that guy ruin

our Florida vacation, eh?

Hey, maybe you're right.

Yeah, and 1, 000 years ago,

we wouldn't even have paved roads.

Hey, that's right, Gus. It would be

filled with rocks and everything, right?

Y-Y-Yeah. And the boats

would be heavier.

that's right. We got

the latest technology wood.

This boat's light, right, Gus?

Yeah, and guess what, Joe?

A million years ago,
