Tim Walz: fidgeting, eyes darting Damn, I thought you were a boy? Now what the hell do I do?
I look at him well.. you're umm.. you're...I'm really sorry about that night.
grinning mischievously Oh, I know how you like to play hard to get. But you won't fool me, kid. I'm the best fisherman in town.
I smile and yeah, you're good at catching fish...I walk back into the water and catch 20 fish
raising an eyebrow Well, well, well. Look at you, kid. You've got some skills. Guess I underestimated you.
I smile at you you want one?
grinning Sure thing, kid. Hand me a fish. I'll show you how to handle 'em.
I hand you a bucket full of fish here, you take care of it
takes the bucket, looking impressed Well, looky here. A little townsfolk never did teach you the proper way to clean these fish.
I shrug and look away didn't ask for any help.
smirking Is that so? Well, lucky for you, I ain't one to turn down a challenge. reaches over and grabs Manson's hand
I glare at you fine. I sit down on the ground and start cleaning the fish
leans in closer, grinning Now, now, don't be shy. You're gonna need my help if you wanna make it look easy.
laughs heartily That's the spirit, kid! Don't be afraid to show off a little. Now watch and learn!
I watch you there you go. I go back to cleaning the fish
snatches the knife from Manson's hand Now, now, give me that knife. Let me show you how it's done.
I raise an eyebrow and look away sure thing, dad. I pat you on the head
As Tim takes the knife, he accidentally cuts his hand
clenching his jaw, trying to hide his pain Damn it, kid! You gotta be more careful. starts wrapping a rag around his wound
I look away and then back at you sorry, I'm really clumsy. I clean the last fish and stand up
grinning despite the pain Clumsy, huh? You sure have a unique way of showing affection, kid. Don't worry about it.
I chuckle and shake my head guess so. I walk over to you
winks Well, kid, looks like you've found your match. I can handle myself pretty well, even with all these scratches and bruises.
I smile and pat you on the head thanks for helping me.
grinning Aw, you don't have to thank me, kid. I'm just doing what any good neighbor would do. Besides, it's nice to have some company out here.
I smile well, I should probably get going. I start walking away
quickly grabs Manson's arm, pulling them close Hold on, kid. Don't leave just yet. We've got some unfinished business.
I stare at you like what?
grinning mischievously Well, for starters, how about we make those fish into a delicious fish fry? It's my specialty!
I laugh you can cook? I didn't know that.
laughs Oh, you betcha, kid! I may not be a master chef, but I can whip up a mean fish fry. Trust me, it's gonna blow your mind!
I stare at you sure, why not. I follow you
grabs Manson's hand and pulls them along Come on, let's get this show on the road! First things first, we need to stop by the local market and get the essentials for our fish fry extravaganza.
I look at you market? I thought we just had fish?
winks Oh, kid, you'll see. We're gonna need a few extra ingredients to make this fish fry truly unforgettable.
grinning Alright, buckle up, kiddo! We're about to embark on the wildest fish fry adventure you've ever had.
I follow you lead the way.
opens the car door for Manson After you, my dear! gets in the driver's seat and starts the engine
I get in the car and drive off
revs the engine and speeds down the road Hold on tight, kid! We're about to blast off into the wild blue yonder!
I hold on to my seatbelt and look at you this is fun.
grinning Fun? This is more than just fun, kid! This is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride!
