Colin and Frank in “Unfinished Business”

As my father always used to say, "The early bird catches the worm".

[Confused] How does that relate to this?

Well, the first bird up, the worms are his.

[Still confused] Yes but, I don't see the connection with our problem.

[Circling the hole in the wall with a chisel] If you're up before the other biiiiirrrrrrdddds, you won't go hungry.

[Still confused] Yes, but...

[Yelling] LOOK I DONT KNOW. I'M JUST TRYING TO BE POSITVE. MY FATHER SAID IT, IT RELATED TO SOMETHING, AND IT MADE ME FEEL GOOD. CAN WE JUST GET ON WITH IT?!
