The Princess and the Pirate Page #5

- You mean, he'll streamline me?

- And then he'll slit your gullet.

I knew he wouldn't forget that.

Stop waving that knife at me.

But this knife is to close our deal.

- We'll both sign a pact in blood.

- In blood. Couldn't we use ketchup?

No, blood. It's my knife.

So it'll have to be your blood.

But I've got a knife of my...

Blood. Now, we're partners forever.

Come, I'll show you to the dinghy.

Runs his own blood bank.

You stay here, Featherhead.

I've got business.

What do you want?

Fortunes told. No charge today.

Have your palm read.

Very interesting. I see you have no trouble

opening beer cans.

Out of my cabin, old hag,

or I'll slit your gizzard.

Gizzard? What happened to my gullet?

It's a trick. You'll pay for this, both of you.

Curse you for a lily-livered witch!

You'll dance the devil's hornpipe

at the end of the main yard.

I'll cut out your gizzard this night.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I've got a boat.

Are you all right?

You look like you're gonna faint.

No, I'm all right.

Hurry. We must get to the boat

before it's too late.

Wait a minute. How do you get

to this burg, this Casarouge?

With a ship's compass and a chart

in the dinghy, a fool could follow it.

Are you coming along with us?

Sylvester, please forgive me for thinking

you were a coward. You're a real hero.

Hurry.

- Goodbye, Featherhead.

- Goodbye.

Don't forget to give that envelope

to my cousin at the Boar's Head Inn.

He'll pay you well for your trouble.

You can't miss him. He looks just like me.

He's twice as smart as I am.

A half-wit?

Does the compass say we're on our course?

I don't know.

How do you wind this thing up?

It's a compass. It always points north.

Yeah? It's no good. We're going South.

Why did you do that?

Now how are we going to get there?

Don't worry, I'll work it out. I'm part Indian.

Sylvester, tell me, why did you

risk your life to save mine?

I figured I could use you in my act.

That's the only reason,

so don't keep asking me about it.

Come here. Sit by me.

Now tell me the truth. Why did you expose

yourself to such danger to rescue me?

I don't know. I guess I was so excited,

I forgot I was a coward.

I don't believe you.

I suppose you think I did it

because I'm falling in love with you.

- Are you?

- Don't be silly. Why should I fall for you?

You're talking to Sylvester the Great,

the man of seven faces.

I've got a girl for every face.

Whatever the reason, I owe you a lot more

than I can ever repay.

It was a very brave and noble thing

you did for me.

Yeah, I know.

I must have been out of my mind.

I guess the real reason I did it

is because you're such a nice kid.

Hey, don't do that.
