Hey, so where you say

this, uh, museum is at?

Number 2, Water Street.

Okay, uh, every street on this island

is called Water Street.

This place has a magic atmosphere.

Will you just find

the damn address, man?

Yo, Cordell, we got MapQuest

on these things?

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hello, darling.

Hello, my baby.

Daddy.

- Pleasant flight?

- Uh-huh.

So, um, is this the whole boat?

- Yes.

- Oh, so cute.

I can't believe we're at sea.

Well, uh, technically, we're at anchor.

Oh, wait, okay. So that just means

that the anchor is in the water, right?

- Yes.

- Yes.

Okay. Because I totally wanna learn

all the sea terms.

And so you shall, my darling.

Okay, let me try again.

Excuse me, Nigel.

Yes, my dear.

You know what,

let's not do the accent thing.

It's no good?

It's fine.

Um... Anyway...

Nigel, remember when you asked me

this afternoon what I really did?

Have fun shopping.

Thank you, Daddy.

Do try to keep it

under 50 thousand.

What? Ha.

Supper's at 7.

I was supposed to meet some friends,

but I'm gonna try to get out of it.

Invite them aboard if you like.

Just let me know.

Okay, I will. Love you.

My hat.

Hey, look. The hat, he is a Frisbee.

Can you turn the boat around?

Thank you.

Okay, but we never gonna catch him.

Whoa!

God.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Oh.

Oh, my God. You killed him.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

What in God's name happened?

Daddy, this man saved my life.

Sir, sir...

...I really don't think you should get up

until I make sure...

Is this your hat?

Yes. Ha-ha.

That was the bravest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

Sir, thank you so much.

Thank you.

- Thank you, indeed.

- He'll be okay.

Just a little bump on the head.

Just try not to move around too much

for the next few hours.

- But I gotta go back to town.

- Oh, I really don't advise it.

Oh...

Now what am I gonna do?

Uh...

May I suggest a hot shower,

some clean clothes...

...and cocktails at 6:30?

Okay. Thanks.

Take him to the Saint Regis.

Whoa, whoa.

Yep, yep, yep, I'm good. I'm good.

Hey, Mr. Honeycutt?

Miss Honeycutt,

she leave him on the boat.

Gemma. Your lifeline

to civilization, darling.

Oh.

Oh, my God, I would have been so dead.

Here you are, darling.

Well, Mr. Deenz, I'm always delighted

to welcome an entrant into my field...

...whether it be on land or sea.

But I feel I need to warn you.

There's no way

of getting away from treasure...

...once it's fastened itself on your mind.

I want you to find me the Queen's Dowry.

Heh.

- Well, now, Bunny, uh...

- Bigg Bunny. It's one word.

Well, that's an emerald

of a different color, isn't it?

Cordell.

This is a piece of the plate

that we found in the Bahamas...

...off of Topsail Cay.
