The Princess and the Pirate Page #4

- Now wait a minute.

- What say ye, my lads?

Shall we give the old hag

to the toothless one?

Yes!

Never let it be said, lads,

that The Hook isn't generous.

Take her, toothless one, but when you

sober up, I'll warrant you'll regret it.

- Did he hurt you, honey?

- I'm black and blue.

But don't worry, dear.

You're in my hands now.

- That's what I'm worried about.

- Come, sweets.

Where are you taking me?

To my quarters where we can be alone,

just the two of us.

But couldn't we be engaged for a while?

I want you to respect me.

Remember, I saved your life.

From now on, you're mine.

You'll do anything I ask you to.

But if we wait, we can have

a rose-covered cottage in the country.

I can see you now, coming home

after a hard day at the asylum...

me laying out your pipe and slippers

and straitjacket.

- Lovely.

- Wait!

Let's be fair.

Now, my little gypsy sweetheart.

You come near me,

and I'll scratch your eyes out!

Just as I thought.

You are not a woman. You're a man.

Don't be silly. I just had my hair cut.

I couldn't get any bobby pins.

Anyway, it's much cooler these hot nights.

You're a man. I knew it all along.

You didn't fool me. Nobody ever fools me.

Of course not. How can anybody fool you?

You're too smart.

Smart. They think I'm an idiot.

But little do they know

how smart I really am.

Let's keep it a secret.

If you don't tell anybody I'm not a gypsy...

I won't tell anybody you're not an idiot.

You see these pictures on the wall?

I'm the ship's tattooer.

They think that's all I'm good for.

For 10 years, they've beat me

and kicked me, but I'll get my revenge.

They've treated me like a dirty dog,

but now I've got you for a partner.

Yeah, toss me a bone

and let's get out of here.

No one must know our secret.

I'm going to help you to escape.

- Escape? Tell me more, Tyrone.

- You're going to repay me for my help.

Listen to everything I say.

I've stocked the dinghy. There are enough

provisions in it for 10 days at sea...

and if you follow the course

I have charted for you...

you will arrive at the island of Casarouge.

Casarouge? What will I do there?

You will go to the Boar's Head Inn

and ask for my cousin, Pierre Lamonte.

This is him.

He forgot to shave this morning.

You will give him this.

It contains the blood of 1,000 men.

The blood of 1,000 men?

Pretty anemic, weren't they?

- Hey, what are you doing?

- It's all right.

This is a map to a treasure

worth 15 million gold crowns.

I stole it from The Hook.

But once you escape, he'll think you stole it.

- You think he'll be mad?

- Mad!

Why, if he ever catches you,

he'll cut off your legs...

and your arms and your ears

and your nose.
