from a fine lady.

Well?

Cat got your tongue?

Could you tell me

from a lady?

It, uh, takes more than

silks to make a lady.

What's a lady got

I ain't got?

Something... Something in her manner

that makes a man take off his hat.

All the silks of Cathay

on you...

and you'd still

be what you are.

Common?

Let's say... untaught.

Listen, you blowfish. I'll see the day

you doff your hat to me! That's what!

Anything is possible.

In the meantime, here's half-a-crown.

Take it and...

You grubby smelt!

You fancy barnacle!

Bilge rat!

You have a pretty salty vocabulary

for a street duchess.

I rather like you

in a rage.

Oh, yes?

Then you're going

to fall in love with me!

[Laughing]

- If she doesn't leave soon,

drop her over the side.

- Aye, aye, sir.

- But, uh, take care. The lady has claws.

- Aye, aye, sir.

Brushin' me off

with a half-a-crown.

Half-a-crown?

Common, says he.

Oh, Meg!

The sight of you

would melt an earl!

Or maybe a king.

[Man]

Let go top gallants.!

Make fast forwardjib.

[Man #2]

Delay main brace.

Port gunman at the ready.!

Port batteries loaded

and ready, Lieutenant.

- We'll dispense with naval rank

this cruise, Bonnet.

- Aye, aye, sir.

Chain bolts on number three.

They're too loose.

Gunner, your slow match is too short.

Could blow your head off.

Percy...

you look a sight more seaworthy than

the London dancing master who signed on.

A whiff of salt

and I grew back my fins, Bart.

Can you lend me

another powder monkey?

- Kipper!

- Aye, aye, sir.

- Lend a hand.

- Aye, aye, sir.

I say! Is somebody

boarding the ship?

Pee Wee giving some

pointers to the crew.

[Grunting]

Very good.

All right now, gentlemen.

Enough of the finesse. I can't tell you

how to use one of these things.

You all know that.

Otherwise you wouldn't be on this ship.

But I can tell you the gentlemen

we are going to meet...

within the course

of the next few days...

have no set of rules

when it comes to deck-fighting.

So when there are no rules,

you make up your own.

And here are one or two

that may be useful to you.

We'll try you.

Now, wait. Wait. Whoa, whoa. Now,

now just relax and take it easy. Huh?

Now hold that.

Now that...

is lesson number one...

never trust anybody.

Now gimme the pigsticker.

And that is

lesson number two.

Never turn your back

on anybody.

Remember, men, the next time

won't be practice.

So lively does it!

Range 200,

on the up wave...

fire!

[Cheering]

Not bad for a beginning.

Now, for the starboard guns!

[Meg]

Let me out.! Let me out ofhere.!

Let me out, you bilge rats.!

Open it up.! Let me out.!

Let me out.! Let me out.

Let me out.!

Open it.! Let me out.!
