The body's an eight, the brain's a ten, so let's go.
Mabel You poor thing. Pirates! You mean like walking the plank? Buried treasure? Hack, slash, off with his head, and the Jolly Richard, and everything?
Roger.
Mabel Oh, Roger I love it.
No, Frederic without a "k".
Mabel Mabel, also without a "k". God, we have so much in common.
Mabel You'll be hung.
Oh I am, I am, and very well thank you.
What's the age of consent around here?
Mabel Eighteen.
Good! I'm old enough.
Oh, I love you. I'll always love you, come what may.
Mabel "Come what may"? We'll all be murdered in our beds come what may.
Well run. For God's sake run!
Mabel Death before dishonor. Besides, have you tried running in one of these things. It's a real bitch.
Mabel Frederic, what are you doing?
Oh, hiding.
Mabel My Frederic, hiding? It cannot be the lion-heart troubles at the coming conflict. My love - a wimp!
No, Mabel. A terrible disclosure's just been made.
Mabel Then zip it up!
Mabel You're not gay, are you?
Mabel The way you and the Pirate King get around in those rather feminine, pleated shirts and all that leather.
Mabel Frederic, these are the 1880s. You can't live your life by the outmoded conventions of a neo-imperialist society. Find your true center!
What? You mean Zen piracy?
Mabel Frederic, have you ever worn a whalebone corset? Well no, we established that, didn't we? It chokes and strangles, Frederic! I won't be choked an strangled by someone else's dumb ideas of custom and duty! [to stone statue] Would you, Harry, would you? [to Frederic] Never to know the rich and real wonderous person beating and throbbing inside me. Frederic, can you see me throbbing?
I see! I see! I'm throbbing too!
Look, I know this is going to sound silly, but I think I love you. I think might even want to marry you.
Mabel God, that was a short love scene!
