Pirate Captain

  • Behind every captain, there's a crew. Sure, some of you are as ugly as a sea cucumber, some of you are closer to being a chair or coat rack than a pirate, and some of you are fish I've just dressed up in a hat...
  • Fire those long things that go bang!
  • You're the best crew a captain could wish for!
  • And that's why, in a straight fight, a shark would probably beat Dracula.

Charles Darwin

  • (writing in his journal) I discovered a new species of barnacle today. I will never get a girlfriend. I am so unhappy.

Cutlass Liz

  • Hello, Boys. You're probably all wondering, If I'm still as deadly as I am beautiful. Well, I am.
  • Peg-Leg, You pile of squid bait, Check it out, lubbers, The world's biggest diamond, That's baby's got my name on it.
  • Really?, If you've got so much booty, Then how come you're still sailing that old wreck?
  • Congratulations, Pirate Captain, Nobody deserves this more than you.
  • And that beard of yours, it drives me, crazy.

The Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate

  • I'd take a jellyfish in the face of that man.
  • Are you going to... Are you going to enter again?
  • Sorry, It's just, That's my favourite bit.

Queen Victoria

  • I.. HATE...PIRATES!!!
  • Pity you can't eat pirate, really. But you'd probably taste of barnacles. Whereas dear little Polly here is going to be absolutely... delicious!

Dialogue

[first lines]
Servant: Admiral Collingwood!
Queen Victoria: Well, Admiral?
Admiral: Great news, Your Majesty! The French are defeated at last. Also the Russians, the Portuguese, the Chinese, and the Welsh.
Queen Victoria: Then our navy rules the ocean?
Admiral: [nervously] Almost entirely, your Majesty.
Queen Victoria: Almost?
[Admiral gestures weakly. British flags cover the globe, except in one tiny corner of the Caribbean.]
Admiral: Unfortunately, just here we're still having a little trouble with [gulps] p- p-pirates.
[Victoria looks up Very scary]
Queen Victoria: [contained fury] What does it say on my Royal Crest, Admiral?
[Admiral looks up sheepishly to the Royal Coat of Arms.]
Admiral: "I hate pirates", ma'am.
Queen Victoria: Exactly, hate them, with their idiotic shanties! And their ridiculous hats! And their endless blasted ROARING!!! I want them sunk, Admiral!! Scuppered, smashed, fed to the sharks!! Do you hear me?! I... HATE... PIRATES!!!
[In a fury she snatches up a lethal carving knife and smashes it into the table.]
Pirate Captain: Avast! I’m the pirate captain, and I’m here for your gold!
Sailor: Gold? This is a plague boat, old man. I’d give my right arm for gold. [his left arm falls off] Or my left.
Pirate Captain: Right, then, Charles. When is this science show of yours?
Charles Darwin: A week tomorrow.
Pirate Captain: Ahhh, 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.
Charles Darwin: Um, I... I... I think they just add those on the maps for decoration, Captain.
Pirate Captain: Is that a fact? Well blow me down.
Pirate Captain: What pirates? Nobody here but us girl scouts! (Girl Guides, UK Version)
[the crew is disguised in scout uniforms]
Albino Pirate: I got a badge for looting
Black Bellamy: You want to be Pirate of the Year? Do they just give it to the guy with the fattest parrot?
Pirate Captain: She's not fat, she's just big-boned!
Black Bellamy: She's fat, dude.
[Polly vomits on Bellamy]
Black Bellamy: Oh, come on!
Pirate Captain: [looks at Darwin's house] You don't get many girls, do you?
Bobo: No. He. Doesn't.
