[00:30.69]Instead of catching fish, [00:33.27]they catch old boots and rubbish. [00:37.33]I am even less lucky. [00:40.24]I never catch anything -- not even old boots.

[01:02.50]But they don't realize one important thing. [01:07.05]I'm not really interested in fishing. [01:10.78]I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
