:38:04
Ahoy, Lieutenant. You're an early bird.
:38:08
- Oh, yes, sir.
- Be right with you.

:38:11
Yeah. I'm just combining
a little business with pleasure.

:38:17
- At this hour?
- Well, George...

:38:19
My brother-in-law George?
You don't know him.

:38:22
But he's a fantastic fisherman,
:38:24
and he told me that the best time
to catch anything is around now.

:38:28
He says get there before everybody
and you catch the fish off guard.

:38:32
Mm-hm. Doesn't look like it worked.
:38:34
Not yet. But I'm gonna keep trying.
:38:36
Mm-hm. I don't think you'll catch
anything big around here, Lieutenant.

:38:41
- You're too close in.
- Oh?

:38:44
Yeah, you know, you're probably right.
:38:48
General, there's somethin'
I don't understand.

:38:51
All the other fishing boats, they were goin'
out, and your boat is just comin' in.

:38:56
- Why is that?
- I've won a lot of battles, Lieutenant,

:38:59
and I've caught a lot of fish
by doing the unconventional thing.

:39:03
Do you know that I have always envied
somebody with that talent?

:39:07
- Mm-hm?
- I don't think you can learn that.

:39:09
I think you're born with that.
:39:12
You know, inventors
and military strategists?

:39:15
Now, I wish I had that.
That'd be a terrific thing in my work.

:39:18
- Do you know what I mean?
- Yes, I'm sure it would.

:39:22
Talking about work, there's a couple
of loose ends I'd like to tie up.

:39:26
Nothing important, you understand,
but I would like to get 'em tied up.

:39:31
- Fire away.
- I was watchin' the news last night.

:39:36
Those film clips of you in action?
Great stuff! Really.

:39:39
- Thank you.
- Yeah, it was just thrilling.

:39:43
But I happened to notice that you were
carrying a pearl-handled pistol.

:39:47
- Splendid weapon. A single-action Colt.45.
- Yeah, I remembered that.

:39:52
That was kinda
like your trademark, wasn't it?

:39:55
Well, the thing is this, that...
:39:57
when I asked you if you owned any guns,
:39:59
you showed me your souvenirs
and your target pistol,
