if you want more than

a yes or no answer.

Then it'll just happen on its own.

You just take them to the lavatory

and you have sex with them.

Oh. What if it's nasty?

Then you just think of the bag

of chocolate sweeties.

What... What time is it?

Ten.

Where do you come from?

From home.

Who knows where

the lavatory is?

Well, if you take a right,

you will arrive at a lavatory

at the end of the car.

At the same time it is

so cleverly arranged

that if you take a left turn you

will also arrive at a lavatory

since at the end of the next car

there is also one.

Let me show you

where the lavatory is.

It turned out to be

shockingly easy.

In no time,

B was ahead five to three.

And it was exactly right.

Look them in the eye and smile.

But then suddenly, it stopped.

That's a very clear parallel

to fishing in the stream.

As it happens, either none

of the fish are feeding,

or they all feed

at the same time.

They go into feeding frenzy.

All bite.

And then just as suddenly

as it started, it stops.

It's observable, but it's

highly unpredictable.

And it has to do with,

I don't know,

weather, barometric pressure,

maybe some fish psychology.

If that's possible.

Anyway, the fish most readily bite

at the beginning of a light rain,

and I think that's because

they feel safe

when they swim in the stream.

Because they can't be seen

from above.

The water's surface is disturbed.

But then it started again.

Although, a bit more slowly.

Yeah. I think I know how.

Because fly fishing can be

done in several phases.

And if the fish stop biting,

you move on to phase two.

And in phase two, you not

only imitate an insect,

but an insect in trouble.

You pull... You pull the line.

You tug it irregularly,

so the fish gets the impression

that it's dealing with

an injured and easy prey.

And then helplessly, let the fly

float down the river again.

Then half-heartedly,

make a few jumps forward again.

It can be done... It can

be done very elegantly.

Hey.

Sorry.

Nothing to feel sorry about.

I'm just not feeling

very well today.

What could be so bad?

Oh, thank you.

I can't talk about it right now.

Can I just sit here

for awhile?

Yeah. Sure.

Is it better now?

No.

- Are you all right?

- It's Betty.

I was just told

that she's very ill.

Is Betty a close family member?

You could say that.

She's my dwarf hamster.

Dwarf hamster?

You can't be serious.

Well, what was I to do?

And then, I did have a dwarf

hamster when I was young.

That you were very close to?

Not at all.

A bloody nuisance.

Dwarf hamster?

That's not so bad.

Would have been worse

if it were a person.

Don't say that.

I'm extremely fond of my hamster.
