So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips--price tag still on it after five years--and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said, 'Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma"...

...And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
(Looks at ENNIS, stiff)
I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
