.......(MINNESOTA LAKE, LOONS, BIRDS, FLYING, ETC.)
GK: Nice out here.
TR: Yeah, sure is. (CAST, REEL, DISTANT SPLASH)
GK: Too bad the fish aren't biting.
TR: Yeah.
GK: Nice sunset though.
TR: Yeah. Almost what you'd call impressionistic. (REELING IN)
GK: What?
TR: Like Monet.
GK: What you talking about?
TR: Never mind. (CAST, REEL, DISTANT SPLASH)
GK: Want to head back to camp?
TR: Pretty soon, yeah.
GK: Care for another glass of this Sauvignon Blanc?
TR: Sure. ---
GK: Something wrong?
TR: Yeah.
GK: What's on your mind?
TR: Maybe it's time you and I talked.
GK: About what?
TR: About what you said to me once.
GK: What's that?
TR: You said, "What sort of person wears boxer shorts with pine trees on them??" That's what you said. And you laughed.
GK: When did I say that?
TR: Couple years ago.
GK: So what?
TR: The way you laughed. It hurt me. (STING)
SS: You're in the wilderness with your old fishing buddy Carl and you open up a Sauvignon Blanc and suddenly he wants to talk about feelings. One more reason why you should never bring wine on a fishing trip. It makes guys cry and talk about their issues with their fathers. Reach for a beer instead. A Pork Barrel beer. (POP TOP) Pork Barrel allows a man to get it out --- whatever's inside him. (BELCH) Without saying a lot of things that might spoil the trip.
GK: Care for another Pork Barrel?
TR: Don't mind if I do. (POP TOP) Boy O boy. (GUZZLING) (EXHALATION OF PLEASURE) Now that's what I call a brewski!
GK: Sure beats that Sauvignon Blanc we were drinking yesterday.
TR: That's for darn sure.
GK: What's on your mind?
TR: Nothing.
GK: Good. (MUSIC)
SS: Pork Barrel Bear. Pick up a six pack today. It's the bottle
with the pork butt on the label. Drink it with Pork Barrel beef
jerky. For those times when carpaccio just won't do.
