(addressing Kalas) So, you want to listen to an old man babble?

(Long-windedly, with great interest) All right. Listen up, young’uns. The way I figure… the world, the fish, and us have been maintaining a good balance. But, even though today’s just the same as yesterday… and tomorrow will probably be the same as today… there’s no guarantee that disaster won’t befall us at any time… There’s a whole world out there, you know what I mean?  

What happened today just happened. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Things happen when they happen. Wouldn’t you agree, my young friends? (in the middle of his long-winded lecture, not realizing (or caring) that he's boring people to death)

I know things happen when they happen, but I never thought things could get this bad… Soldiers marching in without warning… (low-spirited, ill at ease, disquieted)
