:07:02
you have to look at their dreams.
:07:04
Then you'd have mercy for those
who swim in bigger shit than your own.
:07:09
My name is Axel Blackmar, and I work
for the Department of Fish and Game.
:07:13
Most people think I count fish,
but I don't.
:07:17
I look at their souls, their dreams
and then I let them into my dreams.
:07:22
People think fish are stupid, but they
aren't. They know when to be quiet,
:07:26
It's people that are stupid. Fish know
everything, and don't need to think.
:07:32
See, fish start out in small streams,
then I prepare them for the ocean.
:07:36
When they're ready to die,
they return to where they came from.
:07:40
That's my connection,
that's why I swam away to the city.
:07:44
Okay, here's my job:
:07:46
All I do
is temporarily electrocute the fish,
:07:49
then with deep respect, I scoop 'em
and haul 'em in, one by one...
:07:53
Sometimes I'll look into fish eyes
and I'll see my whole life.
:07:57
It's something only fish can show us,
and I love 'em for it.
:08:01
I tag the fish, measure 'em and weigh
'em, make sure they're doing okay.
:08:05
If they want to talk, I always listen.
That's the job of a Fish God.
:08:11
I've never caught a fish in a lie,
:08:13
and I've never seen a fish
swim in the shit that human people do.
:08:17
That's why I love my work,
and I love New York.
:08:20
Not because my mother said it was
a place with real magnetic pull,
:08:25
but because you can see everybody,
and nobody can see you.
:08:34
Hey, honey! How are you?
How was Istanbul?
:08:40
I'm looking for my girlfriend, Suzanne
Supak. I just spoke with her. Over.
:08:45
I love you too, honey.
:08:49
I miss you too, honey. Over.
Two more, please!
:08:54
Pregnant? Wow! Over.
:08:58
Listen, honey...
