Conversations[]

Crane: "What are you doing out here?"
Omar: "Digging for worms to go fishing, of course. What else is there?"
Crane: "Do you want a list?"
Omar: "No, I want to go fishing! I am Omar Boz, and if you will take me to my secret fishing spot, I will reward you with something I couldn't care less about, but you will think is wonderful. Deal?"
Crane: "Deal. Let's get moving."
Omar: "Good. Now we just need to pick up my fishing gear. First, I need my reel. It's a Tobunga Mark 12, Super-caster. Take a guess what I paid for it."
Crane: "I really don't care."
Omar: "Wrong. $275.00 List is $649.00. It was used, but that's still a very good price."

Upon arriving at the pawn shop:
—
Omar: "There it is! I had to pawn it a few months ago. But thanks to this epidemic, and the total collapse of civil authority, I can get it back without having to pay for it. What good luck, yes?"
Crane: "Hurry up, Omar."
Omar: "Okay, now I need my rod. Do you fish? You should. It is good for your soul. And you can eat them! My rod is a Sea Beam, carbon fiber, Flex Master II. You haven't asked, but I know you're curious. I sold it to my good friend, Rashan, but I think he's some sort of monster now, so what does he need with it?"
Crane: "Seems this epidemic is working out alright for you, Omar."
Omar: "I am practical, like the fish in the sea. Nothing is all bad... except mosquitos."
—
Upon arriving at Rashan's house:
—
Omar: "Hello Rashan, I've come for my rod! You better not have damaged it! (Checks the closet) I own over 300 lures, and each has its own story. Would you like to hear them?"
Crane: "No."
Omar: "Your loss. (Finds the rod) Oh no! He wrote his stupid name on it. I'll kill him!"
Crane: "Are we done?"
Omar: "I have everything I need. Take me to the fishing spot, my good friend. The fish, they are summoning me!"
—
After clearing the fishing spot:
—
Omar: "This has been a great experience for you."
Crane: "Not really."
Omar: "I was going to pay you in fish, but when we were in the pawn shop, I saw this, and thought you might want it instead. If you prefer fish, you will have to wait until I catch some."
Crane: "I'll take this."
Omar: "Ok... farewell my friend, and may the fish be with you. Always."

Notes[]

Omar brags about paying only $275.00 for his reel, which he bought used instead of paying $649.00, the list price for a brand new Tobunga Mark 12 Super-caster.
Omar regularly refers to himself in the third person, suggesting he may suffer from a mental illness or disability of some sort.
If the player completes the quest, Siblings before starting the random encounter with Omar, Omar will still appear despite having been killed.
In the Enhanced Edition of Dying Light, Omar now wears a surgical mask on his face.
Omar may reference the 1975 American thriller film Jaws during combat, sometimes shouting "We need a bigger boat!"
