The Pirates! Band of Misfits Page #4

Sorry. It's just,

that's my favorite bit.

A dodo, you say?

They've been extinct for 150 years.

To find one alive today,

it's quite incredible.

Well, clever old girl. Not going extinct.

If I might be so bold, I would be prepared

to pay you 10 pounds for your Polly.

Polly's not for sale.

Ten pound.

She's one of the family.

She's like an auntie.

With a beak.

Yeah, I'm afraid they're right, Charles.

Polly here is the feathery

heart and soul of the boat.

Come on, little dodo.

It's such a missed opportunity.

If I could've presented her

in London to the Royal Society

at their annual science show...

No question of that, I'm afraid.

- She'd have been an absolute sensation.

- Yeah, well, can't be helped.

And of course a shoo-in for the top prize.

Prize?

For best scientific discovery. Yes.

This prize,

- valuable, is it?

- Valuable?

It's priceless.

Untold riches.

- Captain...

- No, no, no, no.

I was thinking, perhaps,

perhaps I was being a touch hasty.

But, Captain, London?

The home of Queen Victoria,

mortal enemy of pirates everywhere?

We'll end up hanged at Execution Dock.

We laugh in the face of danger, remember?

- I don't.

- I don't really like danger at all.

Captain, do you remember

the little talk we had?

The one about whether pigs

are actually a type of fruit?

No.

No.

The one about us trying

to avoid harebrained schemes

that end in us facing certain death.

You heard the man, Number Two.

"Untold riches. "

Here's the plan.

We go to London,

Polly wins this science show thingy,

we take the prize money,

I enter Pirate of the Year, I win!

Bingo!

- But, Captain, I'm not sure...

- It can't fail.

And besides, look at her little face.

I sure want to win that science prize.

Squawk!

Bravo, Captain!

I see you're a man of vision!

Right, then, Charles.

When is this science show of yours?

A week tomorrow.

Confound it!

You see, we could've

made that with a good wind behind us,

but unfortunately there's this dirty

great sea monster in the way.

I think they just add those onto maps

for decoration, Captain.

Is that a fact?

Well, blow me down.

I dare, you could learn something

from this fine fellow, Number Two.

London Town.

The most romantic city in the world.

"Queen Victoria

"welcomes you to London. "

That's nice.

Perhaps she's not so bad after all.

Well, don't look so worried, Number Two.

Pirates are always visiting London.

Turn back!

This is the fate of pirates here!

Is that Scarlett Morgan?

Pirate Captain.

Goodness me!

I haven't seen you

since that business in Madagascar.

Yes. I could've sworn they were girls.

You're looking well, Morgan.

Yeah, lost a bit of weight.

What are you up to these days?
