The Princess and the Pirate Page #2

Synopsis: Princess Margaret is travelling incognito to elope with her true love instead of marrying the man her father has betrothed her to. On the high seas, her ship is attacked by pirates who know her identity and plan to kidnap her and hold her for a king's ransom. Little do the cutthroats know that she will be rescued by that unlikeliest of knights errant, Sylvester the Great, who will lead them on a merry, and madcap, chase.

A dame with your wardrobe...

I might be able to use you in my act.

Sylvester, that's very generous of you,

but I can't act.

That never stopped me. Besides,

with your figure, you don't have to act.

You have to stand there in tights, holding

a tray with the stuff for my different faces.

In fact, if we get the right tights,

I might not have to use so many faces.

Sail ho!

Ship closing in off the starboard bow!

All hands on deck!

- What is it, lunch hour?

- Man the gun stations!

- I don't like the looks of this.

- What?

I hear there are pirates in these waters.

Let them stay in the water.

They're dangerous on ships.

Do you know how to use these?

Do I know how to use these?

This is my racket.

What do you think

I wear them for, ornaments?

- The bullet comes out this end.

- Yeah. It must be an old model. Now watch.

Wrong pistol. That's for the silent pictures.

Wait a minute.

You see that seagull up there

on the deckhouse?

Watch me shoot out its left eye.

Imagine what I could have done

if this gun were loaded.

Out of the way, you leather-mugged ape!

Are we fighting or dancing the fandango?

See that flag?

You know what that skull and crossbones

stands for, don't you?

Yeah, iodine, and we're going to need it.

- That's the Avenger, The Hook's ship.

- The Hook?

Yes. For 15 years he's sailed the seas,

thirsting for blood.

He ain't gonna get a drink here.

Don't stand there. Get me a lifeboat.

He'll make me walk the plank.

I'll get my notices wet. Come on.

Fire!

Sylvester, I'm ashamed of you hiding

behind me. Haven't you any backbone?

- Yeah, but it's nothing like yours.

- Get up. We must help fight them off.

- What are you, a man or a mouse?

- A man or a mouse. Why, I'm a...

Where's mama?

We'll run alongside. Lie flat

until our bowsprit tangles her rigging...

- then board.

- Aye, aye, sir.

Get going, man.

What are you doing in this fight?

- I'm foreman.

- Here, take your stand by the mainmast.

You heard the Captain.

Take your stand at the mainmast.

Mainmast? I wouldn't know the mainmast

if it fell on me.

I had to open my big mouth.

Fellas, excuse me.

All along the gangway!

Move lively. Lively now!

I'll bash your head in. Come on.

Pardon me. So hard to get coat hangers

these days, I thought I'd use the hook.

The Hook!

Out of my way. I'll slit his gizzard.

Captain, the ship is ours.

The last gun has been spiked.

What further orders, sir?

Find the jewel that we seek

and see that no harm comes to her.

- Spare all the women, but kill all the men!

- Aye, aye, sir.

Put 'em up, I tell you.

One false move and I'll let you have it.

You got it.

Curse you! I'll cut out your gizzard.
