Wheres the bait?

We got a net full of water!

We havent got enough bait

for a sardine, much less a tuna!

Lets make another haul.

Head out to sea, Chen.

Hey! Kill the engine!

Take it out of reverse!

Kill it! Kill it!

Kill it!

Gee, Ross. lm sorry.

Oh, well. Save the pieces.

a tuna by hand!
