Captain Smollett

Hmm... hmm... Gentlemen, may I see you in my cabin? Immediately?

Captain Smollett

Who hired this crew? This is undoubtedly the seediest bunch of cutthroats, villains and scoundrels I have ever seen! So, who hired 'em? [whimpers, sniffles] [Jim, Rizzo, Gonzo, and officers point at Trelawney, who in turn points at his finger] Your finger hired the crew?

No, that's silly. The man who lives in my finger hired the crew - Mr. Bimbo. What? [listens through finger] Ah. Yeah, he relied heavily on the advice of our excellent cook, Long John Silver.

Captain Smollett
[Smollett sighs back in his chair]

A cook, and a guy who lives in a bear's finger?

Exactly!

Captain Smollett
[Mr. Arrow faceplams]

I'm starting to worry about this voyage.

Terrific. Captured by the young pigs and sacrificed hideously before the piglets alter.

Are we lucky or what?

One leg, Dorothy. Count 'em, one.

Benjamina Gunn

Of all the backwater, no-class piles of sand in the ocean, you had to wash up on mine.

Captain Smollett

Benjamina, I just want you to know that I'm sorry.

Benjamina Gunn

Sorry? No, no sorry doesn't cut it. You left me standing at the altar!

Captain Smollett

I was on a ship headed for Zanzibar. I got cold feet.

Benjamina Gunn

You're a frog. You're supposed to have cold feet! My mother came all the way from France. I was wearing her white lace dress. The cake was filled with lemon custard!

Captain Smollett

Benjamina? Fate has brought us together again. Well, actually, buried treasure and pirates brought us together--

Benjamina Gunn

Don't you start with me about pirates! After you jilted me, I took up with this Bernie Flint. The man was totally co-dependent!

Captain Smollett

You and Captain Flint?

Benjamina Gunn

Well, he was a pirate, I was a lady. You know the story. Smollett? He marooned me! Me! (Benjamina Gunn sobbing)

Captain Smollett

Oh, this it all my fault? What have I done to you?

Benjamina Gunn

All right! Not Scarecrow! No one maroons me and gets away with it!

(Smollett is tickling Long John Silver, and has been able to cut off parts of his clothing during it; Smollett contently tickling while casually chuckling)

I'm sorry.

Captain Smollett

Pardon? [Distracted, he loses his sword] Uh...I'm a frog. You know, slippery hands? [Long John Silver laughs and points his sword at Captain Smollett's throat] Erm... Y'know, I never really believed violence solved anything.

Oh, really? Allow me to disagree with you, Captain.

(Appears with sword)

Kill Captain Smollett and you'll have to kill me.

(Also appears)

Kill Jim and you'll have to kill me.

(Also appears)

Kill Gonzo and you'll have to kill me.

(Also appears)

Kill Squire Trelawney and Mr. Bimbo and you'll have to... negotiate strenuously.

(Jim Hawkins catches Long John Silver in the lifeboat)

Long John?

I suppose you'll be blowing the whistle on me now, won't you, Jim?

I suppose I will. You have to return to Bristol to stand trial. (raises his whistle)

Oh, I'm sorry, Jim. (Aims his pistol at him) I got a terrible fear of hanging. We're shipmates, aren't we, Jim? Gentlemen of fortune, together. Give us one more chance? (Jim does not drop his whistle, Long John lowers his pistol) Oh, hell, Jim. I could never harm you. You're honest and brave and true. You didn't learn that from me.

I learned it from my friends, Mr Silver. Now take your oars and row away. I never want to see you again, ever.

Oh, Jim? (He throws Jim Hawkins his compass and rows off) 'Tis a shame, really. We'd have made a great team, Jim

Benjamina Gunn

Well hello, Loooong John.

Captain Smollett

Here's the plan. Once the pirates are ashore, we take the Hispaniola back to Bristol, and leave them stranded on Treasure Island.

Doctor

Excellent plan.

Except for one thing: the pirates have Jim!

[Smollett flings his sword at Long John Silver, and is able to cut off parts of his clothing during it; Smollett contently flinging while casually chuckling]

Excuse me?

Captain Smollett

Pardon? [distracted, he loses his sword. Mr. Arrow facepalms, before punching Polly without looking] Uh...I'm a frog. You know, slippery hands? [Long John Silver laughs and points his sword at his] Erm...Y'know, I never really believed violence solved anything anyway.

Really? Allow me to disagree with you, Captain.

[appears with sword]

Kill Captain Smollett and you'll have to kill me.

[also appears]

Kill Jim and you'll have to kill me.

[also appears]

Kill Gonzo and you'll have to kill me.

[also appears]

Kill Squire Trelawney and Mr. Bimbo and you'll have to... negotiate strenuously.

Benjammina Gunn
[also appears]

Going somewhere, John-John?

[Then a gang of native pigs surrounded Long John]

Well, Master Hawkins, it seems your little family has come together against me.
[Long John handed over his sword to Jim, much to the gang's approval]
