born slippery

may I help you sir?
you sell fish here?
we do. fresh-caught and smoked.
I want you to take me out on your boat.
sorry, sir. we aren't a charter service. we catch fish and sell it.
you don't understand. I'm not chartering your boat to fish. I got something that needs to go into the water; not come out. I want to use your boat to do that. ok?
well, what kind of something?
you really don't want to know. it's in the trunk of my car.
the trunk. I see. you're not from around here, are you?
is it that obvious?
not at all. only when you open your mouth.
