Jack the Giant Killer Page #4

Have you seen

our lady passenger?

Aye. She's here with me.

Well, come up

and lend a hand, lad.

- We've got a landfall to make.

- Aye, Captain.

He's a fine lad, your son.

That he is.

And smart as paint.

And he can haul a jib

as proper as any man aboard.

Here you are, son.

Take over the helm.

I'll get a bite to eat.

Jack, you can give

Miss Elaine...

her first glance

at the continent.

Thank you, Captain.

Oh, you can see much better

from up there, off the larboard.

Helmsman,

keep her teeth in the wind.

Aye, Captain.

I didn't realize

we were so close to shore.

This makes it even closer.

Do you want to look?

It's already too close.

Soon I'll be in the convent,

and you'll be going back.

I'll be alone.

The sisters will take

good care of you.

It's been such

a wonderful voyage...

just the two of us.

I wish I didn't have

to go in hiding...

that I could stay

as a make-believe peasant girl.

I wish I were a genie

to make your wish come true.

Suppose you were?

What would you do?

I would turn myself

into a great prince...

and I would search every farm

and village of England...

until I found you.

Then I would hold you

and tell you that I love you.

And I would answer

that I love you.

But it wouldn't be make-believe,

Jack, because it's true.

And then we'd fly away

on my magic carpet...

and live happily

together forever after.

Jack.

All right, lads! Heave!

- Heave!

- Ho!

- Heave!

- Ho!

All right, lay your backs

to it, lads!

- Heave!

- Ho!

- Heave!

- Ho!

- Heave!

- Ho!

- Heave!

- Ho!

Pipe the captain!

All hands lay to!

What happened?

Captain!

Rocks, Captain.

We've run aground.

Mid-channel?

There are no rocks here.

All hands lay to!

- Are you all right, lad?

- Aye.

What did we hit?

I don't know. Look at the sky.

It's turning dark.

And we've stopped moving.

'Tis unnatural.

Captain, look aloft!

Witches!

Witches!

Witches!

Who is it, Captain?

This witch is accursed.

- It's the work of the devil.

- It's the devil himself.

Devil or witch

or whatever you are!

You may have the wind on me now,

but you'll not scuttle my ship.

Captain!

Witches!

Witches!

We're doomed!

- Run for you lives!

- Witches, witches!

- Witches!

- Come with me.

Peter, up here!

Witches!

Father, here.

Lock the door

and let no one in.

Witches! Witches!

Witches!

A witch!

Captain! Captain!

More witches

on the quarter deck.

Witches!

Sail across my bow, will you?

Father!

Father!

Jack!

Jack, Jack!

Look!

Jack!

Jack, Jack!

No!

Elaine!

The witches! They're going!

Father!

We're moving.

Look, it's getting light.

Captain.

Let's head for home!

They mustrt

turn back the ship.
