They like very much eating fish.
I like the picture, I like everything about it. They’re holding hands. That’s nice.
I think they like each other.
They’re still looking for fish. They look for fish, but don’t get it.
But they will.
They’re coming from another beach. Probably Long Island.
They probably started in Hollywood, next door to me. That’s what I have.

“You and I can go together.”
“Let’s build a family.” I think we should have them get together and build a family.
