Stephanie: I brought some snacks in case any one of us gets hungry!

Bogge: Speaking of snacks...

Quagmire: Guess what we brought?

Both: Peanut butter sandwiches! Ta-da!

ANNIE AND MANNY:

Well, I went down a hill about 12 o’clock

Ran right back, I got me a pole

I’m a goin’ down to the fishin’ hole and you can come fishin’ all the time

Have you been a fishin’ all the time?

I’m a going fishin’ too

Well you bet your life your lovin’ wife will catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you got good bait

Here’s a little story I would like to relate

So come on, baby, Come on, gal

I’m a goin’ fishin’, yes I’m goin’ fishin’

And you can come fishin’ too!

(Manny uses his fishing rod and waits until a fish caught on the net.)

Manny Bear: Annie! I think I caught something!

Annie Bear: Really?

(Manny pulls the fish out of the water with his fishing rod.)

Both: Yay!

Annie Bear: Come on, Manny! Let’s dig in!

(Annie and Manny eat the fish in one bite and both burp.)

ANNIE AND MANNY:

Well I went down the hill about one o’clock

Spied them catfish swimming around

I’m a goin’ down to the fishin’ hole

And live in the country instead of the town

Have you been a fishin’ all the time?

I’m a going fishin’ too

Well you bet your life your lovin’ wife will catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you got good bait

Here’s a little story I would like to relate

And you can come fishin’ too!

(Annie and Manny Bear take a picture of themselves with all the fish they caught.)
