Answer 1

Answer:

Tom is more interested in talking over the details of a fishing trip than speaking with George.

Explanation:

Tom thinks that George's departure is so common that it is uninteresting and he is not motivated to talk to anyone about it, not even George himself. For Tom, George's departure has nothing special to be commented on and it is so common and boring that he prefers to talk about the most trivial matter possible, he even prefers to talk about the details of a fishing trip, because even this subject is more intriguing and composed of novelties than George's departure.
