A Scammer's Guide to Fishing
Find the right spot — Tim showed up at the mall at closing time because he knew that's when Pai preferred to be there.
Set up the hook — Tim talked shit about the design of the mall to the owner of the mall, so Pai would believe that Tim had no idea who he was because no man would criticize a business to the owner if he wanted his money.
Cast the line — Tim placed the ball in Pai's corner to ask him out, yet kept popping up in Pai's view to remind him that he existed without directly asking Pai out because it's the same tactic he used to get Pai to propose to him.
Sit quietly — Tim probably planted articles about himself on sites like "The Clown" and "Fakebook"
And curated the perfect socials to show off his assets.
Match the hatch — Tim gave Pai a story about working hard for his parents because it connected with Pai since he is the oldest and he must carry the burden of the family's reputation.
While Yu strategically told North he wanted a family to connect with North since North spent most of his time talking about his friends and family.
>> The best lies carry sprinkles of truth, and the best lures mimic the environment <<
And now North and Yu never have any barriers between them and are shown side-by-side.
While Pai and Tim usually have a barrier between them and are often shown facing each other.
Reel it in — Tim comes off as understanding when Pai forgot to meet Tim's friends, yet Tim probably never had any friends to meet, and just threw it in, so he could seem understanding that Pai is too busy to remember his own schedule.
Since we've already been shown his schedule is packed.
He created the perfect bait to catch the big fish.
While Yu simply caught his in the wild with what he had on him.
There might be plenty of fish in the sea, but you gotta be smart to catch them.
And strong enough to hold on to them.
