Celebration

Y: Well, I just wanted to wish everyone a great my birthday!
M: Is it Mr. Marlin's birthday?
Y: No, a great my birthday! Really great, one of the best!
M: Is that why you had a big salmon today? A very good birthday present indeed, thanks for sharing!

King of the Grill

Y: The human man has always complained about going to Ikea. But I don't buy those complaints anymore!

M: Indeed.

Y: It is my new favourite place, sausages and icecream!

M: Mr. Marlin would like to have four. And please make it a bigger cup!

Y: Next time meatballs!

Lion King

'

Y: Can you smell the victory?

M: No, but I can smell the lions.
Y: Well, they are the same thing.

I Drove All night

M: Another highly responsible job for Mr. Marlin. Very expensive, you know.
Y: Well, when I start going, there's no stop to it!
M: You only run after your ball, whereas Mr. Marlin is always agile and alert.
Y: Well, you went swimming after the ducks, but they outran you.
M: Yes they did. Cheeky animals.

Those were the days

Y: Well, we have always been a team, ever since I took Mr. Marlin as my assistant.

M: Mr. Marlin is a renowned fish and squirrel scientist, not an assistant!

Y: Why did you have that string in your mouth anyway?

M: Mr. Marlin was hungry.

I'll be watching you

Y: Well, we have always been very alert and rest very seldom.
M: Yes indeed, very expensive services.
Y:  It's a kind of a neighbourhood watch, a very effective one.
M: Mr. Marlin is always on the watch. Except for lunch breaks, of course.

Mother

Y: Well, we want to wish all mothers a great mother's day.
M: Yes we do!
Y: Sharing food with kids, well, that's kind of acceptable. Thinking of it, I find that the only case where sharing food is ok.
M: Yes... No... A very confusing issue, requires further research.

Bridge over troubled water

Y: Pretty good mood walking, quite handsome I am too!
M: Mr. Marlin is sometimes a little ashamed to walk with you, your coat is not always shiny and clean.
Y: I think you can just mind your own coat!
M: I do! It is very silky and black and shiny.

National Day

Y: You must mean stay at home and eat BBQ chicken and train all day!
M: And rest.
Y: Maybe some sausage as well.
M: Count me in!

May Day

Y: Well, this May 1st Marlin got a new sweetheart, vappuheila.
M: Mr. Marlin does not share chair with anyone.
Y: Well, you are sharing it.
M: Very expensive you know. Although it does have a beautiful smooth black shining coat, like Mr. Marlin.

Birdie

M: Mr. Marlin just loves spring.
Y: Well, we went out today and Marlin was seriously after some ducks and special birds.
M: Don't you just love when nature awakens after winter and different forms of life blossom.
Y: Well, you seriously enjoyed running after them.

Morning Glory

Y: Well, over Easter we had a research symposium.
M: Yes we did. Mr. Marlin continued fish research, it is in very delicate phase.
Y: And I, well, I trained a new researcher to our team.
M: Mr. Iivo is our new biogas researcher, a very good addition to our team.

Growing old (but not up)

M: Mr. Marlin's been forced to take yet another job.
Y: You mean besides being a renowned squirrel, fish and rabbit scientist?
M: Yes, very hard. These days I'm also my sister Yaya's caregiver. She is losing her memory, gets old.
Y: What??? I don't remember asking you for that!
M: See, she is forgetting things.
