• Manuel Fidello : 15 years I've been fisherman, first time I catch fish like you.

  [blows conch shell, and heads towards boat ringing bell] 

  Manuel Fidello : HEY, Aboard the vessel!

  Captain Disko Troop : Hey!

  Manuel Fidello : I bring you new kind of fish.

  Captain Disko Troop : What'chu get?

  Manuel Fidello : I got new kind of fish. He got no tail. He got pants on his dorsal fin. I think maybe he about 10 year old.

  [pulls up next to schooner and start hauling up boy] 

  Dan Troop : Aw, its a kid ain't it?

• Dan Troop : Pop could find fish in a graveyard!

• Harvey : But, there's no fishing out there, is there?

  Frank Burton Cheyne : The best trout fishing in the world! And if I do say it myself, I can teach you to cast a fly wherever you want to put one.

  Dan Troop : I read about that kind of fishing, once, in a magazine. Manuel said that any fish that ate a bug was some kind of a frog.

• Dan Troop : Wait till you see some of the places we go.

  Harvey : What places?

  Dan Troop : Oh, Stone Fence, St. Pierre's Bank, Whale Deep, Virgin Rock. Pop gets a ride along with the fish. Folks say he thinks like a codfish.

  Harvey : Well, if thinking like a codfish is going to get me where I want to get, I don't care how he thinks.
