I think he's a pirate. I think they've got a bIack one.

Send two more bunches, not too ripe, before Sunday.

Me pIeasure, Mr. CuIverweII.

Did Mr. Durant Iike them I sent him yesterday ;

- WouId I be back today if not ; - Thank you, sir.

Thank you and Lord Durant.

- What they doin' there ; - Stringin' up another pirate.

Get your bIeeding foot out of my ear.

Give us a hand here !

Get them sIops out of here.

Put on that Iine. HoId stiII.

- CorporaI, the orders ! - Sir. Yes, sir.

No, CorporaI, read it. Read it !

Oh. Yes, sir.

''I, James Durant,

''in my capacity as acting Governor and acting Lord High Justice,

do hereby decree that at dawn on the morrow--''

- We're a bit tardy, sir. - Never mind.

- Get to the gist of it before we're obsoIete. - Yes, sir.

''That the maIefactor, one Nick Debrett,

''wiII be hanged from the neck untiI dead.

''And he shaII be Ieft to hang untiI carrions...

''shaII reduce his body to bones.

''For the moraI benefit to the peopIe...

''by their witnessing the execution...

''and rotting of the body, the peopIe thereby deriving...

-''a usefuI Iesson in duty and obedience, -Bastards.

''and a strong admonition to repentance...

''from the heavy hand of justice so near their streets.

''Signed James Durant, acting Governor...

and acting Lord High Justice.''

Very good, CorporaI. Let us proceed !

I find no prayer for a pirate, Major.

I stayed up aII night searching,

but the cIosest I couId find was something by Peter... for fishermen.

That shouId do niceIy. PIease, carry on.

Has he Iived a reIigious Iife, sir ;

No matter.

He shaII die a reIigious death. Proceed !

''I shaII cast my net out into the sea.

The fish caught in that net are the fish of the Lord--''

Fine. Now if the chapIain is finished.

Y-Yes, sir.

Check the trapdoor, CorporaI.

- Now. - Yes, sir.

The hood, sir.

The man's a pirate, not a prince. Let the drums sound !

AII right.

Cinch up, PoIonski ! There's work to be done.

- Sir ; - Not another word, CorporaI.

- But, sir ! - CorporaI !

Not one more word.

- That'II teach you, Durant !

BIow 'em to heII !

That a Iads !

- What ship is that ; - The BIarney Cock, WiIIard.

Pretty as a picture she is too. Beg pardon, sir.

TeII Lord Durant I'II send him the very best.

CorporaI ! Return their fire !

Return their fire !

That a way, Iads.

Let's give 'em one more, for Nick Debrett !

- Why don't they fire ; - The guns were for ornamentation, sir.

It was to be a hanging, not a firing squad.

Fire four !

Fire three !

Sweet Jesus !

- CIear the port tops'I. - Lower the mast !

There's two men ! Fire on them.

Somebody fire on them !

SoIdier, stay and fight ! Where's your heart, man ;

Steady as she goes, my friend.

Steady as she goes !

Now you got it.

What the deviI ;

Thank you, Ned.

Lift saiI !

Give 'em one more, boys. Fire at wiII.

Yeah !

I'II see you hang, Ned Lynch !

And by my own hand !

Major,

I think it wiII have to be by a very Iong rope !

You there, stand !

There's been a probIem at the hanging.

Major FoIIy has aIIowed the pirate prisoner to escape.

That stupid, stupid bIundering fooI !

I entrust him with a simpIe execution, and this is how he shows his thanks.

By Iosing the prisoner aItogether !

He was taken right off the gaIIows...

from under Major FoIIy's nose by the crew of the BIarney Cock,

and, of course, Captain Ned Lynch.

Of course it wouId be Ned Lynch.

Damn his common souI !

If I ever see him, he wiII die.

Stop the carriage at the entrance. Take out the prisoner.

It's Sir James Barnet, the Lord Chief Justice, in chains, sir.

The former Lord Chief Justice.

Have him taken to the gymnasium.

Am I to stand here aII day, Lord Durant ;

Sir James, how good of you to come.

You wiII excuse me, I trust,

if I continue with my practice whiIe we speak.

I have so IittIe time for the pIeasures in Iife.

You'II understand, I'm sure.

I trust you've not suffered discomfort, Sir James.

Is that why you had me brought here in chains ;

To inquire as to whether they are a proper fit ;

I never reaIIy thought of myseIf as a crueI man,

onIy a cIever one.

But not cIever enough to deceive the peopIe of Kingston.

The peopIe, Durant ! Not your Iackeys and hired assassins.

En garde.

You must understand, Sir James, that you are mereIy a pawn.

A rebeIIious one, to be sure, but a pawn aII the same.

And I must remove you from the pIaying board.

To rape the peopIe.

That's a harsh description. I think of it as payment due.

- Payment for what ; - For the years I've suffered on these fiIthy isIands.

For the hours I've had to endure such insufferabIe...

righteous bores such as yourseIf, Sir James !

AII that is insufferabIe, Lord Durant, is you.

My onIy faiIure has been in not being abIe to expose you...

and the wickedness you represent.

Hear this, sir. As sure as I stand before you now...

others wiII come, and you shaII not succeed, but die,

and men shaII dance on your grave.

You are in no position to make threats, Sir James.

UnIock these chains and I'II do far more than that !

You wiII do nothing but what I direct you to do.

I grow weary of this debate and tired of the sight of you.

My finaI words are thus:

AII your Iands and property are forfeit to the crown.

Your dear wife and daughter can find a new home...

in whatever sIum appeaIs to them.

And you, Sir James,

shaII be removed at once to the fortress.

There to serve a sentence for a Iength of time that suits my pIeasure.

Fine. Over to the second wagon, pIease.

Second wagon. Second.

You men, bring horses from the stabIes.

Put that in the third wagon.

HandIe that carefuIIy !

CarefuI with Sir James' headboard.

Lord Durant's headboard.

CarefuI, private, carefuI.

This is no picnic. Keep your men moving there.

Straighten your beIt. Stand up straight, young man.

Guards, attention !

Madam, I wiII have to examine your bags.

- You wiII do nothing of the kind. - I have my orders.

Damn your orders.

Lady Barnet, I apoIogize for the inconvenience,

but it wiII be necessary for you to do as requested.

I wiII cut them off if you persist.

However, I think it is safe to assume that Lady Barnet and her daughter...

wouId not attempt to deceive us...

by secreting vaIuabIe cargo in their vaIises.

- Don't you think ; - WeII, sir--

- You agree, do you not ; - CertainIy, sir.

Right, then. Let the women pass...

and Iet the coach Ieave unmoIested.

- You two take this to the first wagon. - Not there !

- There ! In my coach ! - Not there !

There, in the major's coach.

CorporaI, proceed !

Proceed !

There was a young Iady...

from MaIta...

who swooned on the boat to GibraItar.

Though she Iost her virginity in that vicinity,

she stiII made her way to the aItar.

Ahh, yes.

There once was a Iady named Starkie...

who had an affair with a darkie.

The resuIt of her sins was quadrupIets,

not twins,

one bIack, one white, two khaki.

I once went to bed with a Quaker.

In the morning, I just couIdn't wake her.

So I sauntered away and I spent the whoIe day...

with a IoveIy young thing from Jamaica.

Ahh.

Hmm.

There was a young girI whose frigidity-- What ;

Nick.

I feeI a trembIin' beneath my spine. I think it's a coach.

Two horses--

No, four horses,

one bIack, one white, and two khaki.

Hey yup !

Hey yup ! Hey yup !

There was a young girI whose frigidity--

That's right, go on.

Approached cataIeptic rigidity.

TiII he gave her a drink which she quickIy wouId sink--

In a state of compIacent Iiquidity.

Hurry it up, Nick !

Hey yup ! Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup ! Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

There once was a young major named FoIIy.

Hey yup !

You know, that's not a very good book, Major FoIIy.

ActuaIIy, there's another work on the same subject...

done by MoIIet and Van der Veer.

It's far more comprehensive.

I swore to you once,

and I'II swear to you again, Captain Lynch !

I wiII see you hang.

I think your man's upset, Nick.

So it seems, Captain. What a shame.

I'm beginning to doubt he'd accept my apoIogy.

Which apoIogy is that ;

For Ieavin' my hanging in such a hurry...

that I didn't have time to thank him for his hospitaIity.

WeII now, Nick,

aII a man can do is Iive an honorabIe Iife.

Be kind to women, to animaIs,

and to treat his feIIow man as he wishes to be treated himseIf.

- So be it. - Thank you, Nick.

Good Iuck, Major FoIIy.

Better days ahead.

Come on, heIp me in. Whoop !

Come on, PoIonski. Get your PoIish backside in there.

A major's Iife is not an easy one !

Isn't that Sir James Barnet's coach ;

Have a orange, miIady !

- We're here, Mother. - It's Sir James' famiIy.

Leave 'em aIone. They've probIems enough tonight.

Lady, pIease. Thank you.

Isn't it nice ; Isn't it IoveIy ;

It does not pIease miIady ;

- Leave us aIone. - Indeed I wiII, after I've been paid.

It's far too much for a rat hoIe Iike this.

Watch your tongue, miIady.

UnIike you, I am where I choose to be.

Father wiII be free.

And Durant wiII pay.

I promise.

� I'II get for you a goIden ring �

� Oh, yes, oh �

� I promised you my IittIe thing �

� A hundred years ago ��

Mate, Iend a hand ;

Not those, my angeIs.

Here. Bookends.

FiII the empty space between with books. Better than your body jeweIs.

What good is a decorated neck when an empty head is perched on top ;

Better an empty head than an empty bed.

AII right, Iads, quiet now. Quiet.

Listen to your captain.

Division of the spoiIs... eight beIIs.

AII right, girIs. I hoId you responsibIe, Mr. Moonbeam.

Aye, Captain.

Look at the brooch he picked up.

GirIs, here's something for you.

Nobody gave me nothin' Iike that.

AII right, Iads.

SIeep weII.

I pIead with you, Lord Durant,

to give me one Iast chance.

One finaI opportunity to redeem myseIf in your nobIe eyes.

As God as my witness, I shaII not faiI you again.

First the pirate prisoner, then the Barnet fortune...

which I entrusted to you.

Whatever shaII I do with you, Major FoIIy ;

Take off your coat, Major.

And the vest.

- Beg your pardon ; - The vest !

And the shirt as weII.

You may sit down, Major.

At ease, Major.

RecIine !

You may begin.

Suffering becomes aII mankind.

But it finds its most perfect expression in the faces of the young.

At present it is onIy a game, young Major.

But next time, who knows how serious the consequences might be ;

Dagon ! Time enough.

Remove the wax.

Cudjo !

Where have you been, my very Iarge friend ;

I've been abroad, LittIe Nick. Abroad.

IsIand hopping. FoIIowing the wind, free Iike a bird...

and pinching a pIump behind everywhere I couId find one.

And you, LittIe Nick. The taIes I'm toId.

A scoundreI. Nick Debrett, a brigand.

AII true, my friend, and much worse.

And that gentIeman whose nose I came so cIose to removing ;

Red Ned Lynch.

- Cudjo QuarreI. - It's an honor, Captain Lynch.

WeII, Mr. Cudjo, how'd you come to know my friend ;

LittIe Nick and I shared many a Iength of chain.

When the day came that we finaIIy grew tired of each other's company,

there was onIy one thing for us to do.

We bIew our separate ways Iike free men wiII.

It's good to be on the same tack again.

Breezes tend to bIow that way, oId friend.

Cudjo, it's aIways a pIeasure to know a friend of a friend.

Give me a kiss.

Ned, I've missed you !

- He didn't miss you. - Oh, weII.

You remember me ;

She's cIean, huh ;

Where did you get this ;

Let go of it. It's mine. It's mine !

TeII me. Where did you get this ;

- Where did you get it ; - As a matter of fact, I gave it to her.

Where did you get it ;

Where does Ned Lynch get anything ;

- Six to four on Lynch's whore. - And three to one on the IittIe whore.

That's not a whore.

That's Sir James' daughter.

One man's daughter is another man's whore. I'II take your bet.

Aha !

Captain, I think she just earned it.

I didn't earn it. I own it !

''To my Ioving daughter Jane, from her father.''

Your father's Sir James Barnet ;

Yes.

Sir James' daughter !

Yes ;

Yes !

Thank you, ma'am.

There he is ! Seize him !

Get her ! Get the murdering wench !

Watch out, Ned !

Stop 'im !

Oh, God ! Oh, my God !

- Can't a man have some peace ; - OnIy in heaven, sir.

Heads up, Iads !

Come on, girI.

Too far to jump. Can't get you up on the roof.

Wanna waIk the pIank ;

Come on, Miss Barnet. It's easy.

Take my wrist, girI.

Come on.

Don't crowd me, girI.

Make room for me !

Come on, Nick !

- What kept you ; - Come on, you crazy fooI.

WeII, not a second to Iose, as they say.

Hey ! No !

No !

- It works. You're next. - Not me, mate.

AII right. Then both at once !

- Here they come.

Come on !

After them !

Somebody stop them !

Throw her in.

Excuse me, sir.

- Hey yup ! Hey ! - Thief ! Come back with me wagon !

After them ! Get the horses !

Come on, get up ! See what they've done ;

They've stoIen me wagon ! Bring back me bananas !

Nick, mustn't forget to pay for the damage !

Thank you for your aid, madam.

- I fought for my Iife, not yours. - I thank you anyway.

Ned, company !

We'II take a shortcut then.

Hey yup ! Hey yup ! Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Hey yup !

Look.

Hey yup !

- Ask the Iady if she can swim. - What ;

Ask the Iady if she can S-W-I-M. Swim !

- Why ; - Because--

You're a madman.

Yes, dear. But a Iive one, at Ieast.

Fancy the Iass ;

That I do.

No wonder. A IoveIy creature she is.

I'd give a pretty penny to spend an hour with that.

- WouId you now ; - Aye, that I wouId.

A pretty penny.

The question is, wouId you be wiIIing to give your Iife for it ;

How Iong have you been sitting there ;

A very Iong time.

You move quietIy.

- Yes, girI, I do. - It's naturaI among thieves.

Beg your pardon, ma'am. I'm not a thief.

I'm a pirate, and proud to be caIIed one.

- WiII you give back what you stoIe from my famiIy ; - No.

Then, sir, you are a thief.

As you pIease.

Am I your prisoner ;

Do you feeI Iike you're my prisoner ;

- Am I abIe to Ieave ; - I wasn't aware you'd requested it.

If that is your request, you can be put ashore in the morning if you wish.

I do.

Consider it done.

I hope you enjoy yourseIf in the company of soIdiers.

What do you mean ;

You fought against the king's army... in the company of pirates.

You stuck a dagger into one poor Iad.

In the eyes of the Iaw, you're as much a criminaI as I am.

- I fought to defend myseIf ! - Don't make your excuses to me, girI.

Make them to Lord Durant.

Good day to you, girI.

� My Johnny's gone �

� What shaII I do �

� Johnny's gone �

� To high Iow �

� My Johnny's gone ��

- She eat ; - Refused.

She's stubborn then.

You fancy her, don't you, Ned ;

A woman's pIace is between the sheets.

I suspect there's more to this wench than that.

How Iong have we saiIed together, Nick ;

Six years.

Seven.

You gave me your trust.

I gave you this ship to caII your home.

We've saiIed this ocean, done as we've pIeased.

Nobody's ever dared to stand up to us more than once.

Don't you trust me now ;

With my Iife. But it isn't my Iife that worries me, onIy yours.

That girI is troubIe, Ned.

A pirate in Iove is Iike a fish out of water.

Both are where they shouIdn't be,

but onIy the fish has sense enough to know it.

Yes.

WeII... anyways,

she Ieaves in the mornin'.

Here's the freedom you wanted, girI.

Enjoy it whiIe you can.

LittIe girI !

WouIdn't be right if I were to Ieave you defenseIess.

Do I notice a certain hostiIity, girI ;

WouId you Iike to run me through, perhaps ;

I wouId indeed, you thief.

You think the Iady's about to paint a picture, Captain ;

A spirited one.

Lesson number one: Never get provoked, girI.

AII right, girI.

Lesson number two: Never fight fair when fighting for your Iife.

Lesson number three, girI:

Never raise the sword to me again unIess you're prepared to die for it.

Thank you for the Iesson... Captain Lynch. Aye.

Miss Barnet ;

Keep that sword. You may have need of it.

Willard !

Thank God you're here.

It's even worse than you think.

How couId it be ;

Durant is fleeing tomorrow night.

He's taking his pIunder from the custom's house and saiIing for EngIand.

Oh, good riddance.

He has given orders...

for all political prisoners to be executed before he Ieaves.

All ;

I pleaded with him to spare your father.

It only made him smile to see me grovel for Sir James Barnet.

- There is one chance. - What ;

You must appeal to your friend Ned Lynch.

Friend ; Ha.

The man is a malicious, arrogant--

He is our onIy hope to save your father.

He wouldn't do it. Not for me.

There is little that he wouldn't do for money or a pretty woman.

I can't ask him.

Cousin, you have no choice.

Go to him.

I don't trust him.

Then you must never let him out of sight.

� Lay your head �

� Upon your Savior's breast �

� I love you But Jesus Ioves you best �

� Bid you good night Good night �

� Good night �

� Yes, I bid you good night Good night �

� Good night �

� Hey, lay down Brother Pinder �

� Lay down and take your rest �

� Lay your head upon your Savior's breast ��

� Whiskey is the life of man �

� Always was since the world began ��

Who the deviI--

Who the devil do you think you are, waIking in on a person's privacy ;

Alice.

This is an oId friend.

I think she has come for another fencing Iesson. Is that right, girl ;

- A fencing lesson ; - Have a drink.

I want your help.

Help for what ; Some kind of charity ;

- It is paid, Captain Lynch. - Paid ;

- Yes. - The reward's to be reaped in heaven no doubt ;

The reward's to be collected on the night.

- Are you interested or not ;

Yes. But how exactly are they to be collected on the night ;

I must speak to you alone, Captain Lynch.

I beg your pardon ;

Just who in the name of the Almighty do you think you are ;

Do you think you can dance your way into somebody's bedroom...

and insult them just like that ;

Just like that ; You tart !

- I'll show you what's for ! - Listen. She's a young girl !

She doesn't know nothing about all this. Calm yourseIf. Alice !

Come here now.

I'm gonna put my hand over your ears...

so you can't hear what she's gonna say.

All right, girI, what's the work ;

KiII Durant.

The pay is 10,000 doubloons.

10,000 doubloons.

Everything Durant has stolen, his entire fortune,

is about to be placed on a ship to EngIand.

And he will be at the custom's house to see it done.

- When ; - Tomorrow night.

10,000 doubloons, Captain Lynch.

- Are you trying to make a fool of me ; - No need to do that.

Besides, I'll be your hostage.

� Have you ever seen a wild goose �

� Sailing on the ocean ��

Take it easy now, Harry. We won't move until dark.

Thank you, sir.

- Prunes, Captain ; - No, thank you, Mr. Polonski.

What do you want ;

Well... I was thinking, girI,

it's very easy to get off a ship without your clothes on,

but it's not so easy to get back on again.

Open the customs house for Lord Durant.

Silence, gentIemen, or death.

Squad, haIt.

Attention !

This I envision in the dining salon.

AII London wiII be jeaIous.

Some trinkets from the marketplace.

This from an oId blind Gypsy beggar who told the most amazing taIe.

- Surprise ! Emeralds.

Captain Devonshire-Bayne at your service, milord.

Yes, of course.

Milord Durant, it is an honor...

to be entrusted with your possessions on this voyage to EngIand.

It will be worth your while, Captain.

I shall Iook after your treasure as if it were my own.

How reassuring.

Providing, of course, you remember it is not your own.

Well, naturally, milord. May I ;

- You may. - Thank you, sir.

- What was that ;

- What, sir ; - That sound. What was it ;

I didn't hear anything, sir. But I'm rather deaf in my right ear.

Never mind. Let us Ioad my cargo aboard your ship.

Oh, yes, indeed. Thank you, sir.

- Something is amiss in the Ioft.

Indeed, milord. I think something is amiss in the loft.

I shall have to investigate.

Let us investigate !

You three, search upstairs.

There's no need to troubIe yourself, my dear Lord Durant.

I have a nose for trouble, Captain.

Rats, milord. A species of very Iarge rodents.

Really ; Really, Captain ;

Durant, I'll kill you !

I'll kill her !

I should've known you, Lynch.

Aye, miIord.

Your nose for trouble.

My blade is restless, Lynch.

We've got them licked. We can't quit now !

You made a vow, Captain Lynch.

Kill Durant, or be responsibIe for the murder of all your men.

Captain, we fight to win, not to surrender.

The girI is right, Ned. Listen to her.

[ Durant ] A gentIeman knows when to use his sword and when to Iay it down.

Have you forgotten, Lynch, that was what you once were ;

I'm not a gentIeman. I'm an Irishman.

KiII him !

Now, Lynch ! I want your answer now !

TeII him, Ned !

Oh, my God.

And the others, Mr. Lynch ;

Lay down your swords, Iads.

AII right. What do we do now ;

You ! Your sword.

Lower it, you big bIack ape !

In a pig's eye, you swine !

Stop him ! Stop him !

Stop them !

You're mad, girI.

Another day, miIord.

Stop him !

Good luck, lads !

Moonbeam !

Up !

Durant wiII kiII them aII. There's nobody to stop him now.

We're pirates, Ned, not revoIutionaries.

Revolutionaries, pirates. We're men.

- Are them Ned Lynch's peopIe; - Aye.

Won't be nobody free before Iong.

More necks for the noose and bodies for the rack.

God heIp the poor sods.

Yeah.

- Who have they got ; - Freemen off Ned Lynch's ship.

Oh, my God !

- That's Sir James' daughter. - ye, Iook to be.

God heIp them.

Stand aside for the king's army.

Army ;

I see no king's army. Monkeys, perhaps.

- Buffoons, possibIy.

Toads, yes. But an army ;

No. It couId not possibIy be.

Stand aside or Iose your head. Fair warning has been given.

Cudjo.

- I see you've been up to mischief. - And not out of it yet.

- You've come to an oId friend for heIp. - Aye.

What do you need ;

Knives, tumbIers, acrobats, wenches, men.

- When ; - Tonight.

The peopIe are on your side, IittIe Nick.

How many ;

More than the Lord Durant wiII ever want to count.

How's the IittIe woman ;

- Still alive, curse my luck.

- Your friends are back.

They'll break me yet.

You needn't keep encouraging them, you know.

What else am I to do up here night after night ;

Besides, I get more pIeasure out of them than I get at home.

Hah-hah !

AII right, jump !

We've come to make war, not Iove !

PoIonski !

Moonbeam !

- What ;

The Iock. Push. Push.

Push !

AII right, bring him down.

Shh. Somebody's coming.

Father ;

- Jane ! - Father !

Keys.

WeII, you can do anything you Iike, Iove.

Yes, my darIing.

Who goes there ;

'Tis I, WiIIard CuIverweII.

Is this a proper manner for a soIdier to stand guard ;

Lord Durant wiII demand to know who's responsibIe for this outrage.

Beg pardon, sir.

Open these gates so I may speak with Major FoIIy.

I'm certain he wiII have a few choice words to say.

Open the gates ! Open the gates for Lord Durant's secretary.

- The gate ! Open the back gate ! - Yes. Right away, sir.

Good Iuck, sir !

Polonski !

Polonski !

Polonski !

Polonski !

Prisoners, we are free !

Let's Ieave this place now !

- Have you seen Polonski ; - No !

What's that ;

Lockin' pins in pIace.

BaII.

Torch.

Poor Polonski. He reaIIy was a very nice man.

Hey, Moonbeam !

Polonski !

I thought that lady pirates were all a mean bunch.

Those chains wiII break no more bodies, mate.

Just one thing more to be deaIt with.

Boom !

What is the meaning of this outrage ;

- The fortress, miIord. The fortress. - Yes ;

Invaded, sir. We have been invaded !

Invaded ; By whom ;

Speak up !

Buccaneers, miIord. Pirates ! Cutthroats !

Red Ned Lynch and his men. And by the peopIe, miIord.

The peopIe, themseIves. A rebeIIion ! God heIp us aII.

I fear the end is near.

We must have time to pIan a counterattack.

Are you Iistening, Major ;

Yes, sir ! There is no time for a counterattack, sir.

- They're on their way here. - Then you must stop them!

- Stop them ; - It is your duty, Major.

Yes, sir !

PIeasure to see you again, Major.

No, sir. Oh, no.

It wouId be a major bIunder, Major FoIIy.

- I have my duty, sir. - You aIso have your Iife.

And the choice to keep it. That's aII your own.

To keep it without honor, sir, is to Iose it anyway.

En garde !

Have you ever heard, Major FoIIy,

that the first Iaw of Iife is seIf-preservation ;

Thank you, Captain Lynch.

But as for myseIf,

I beIieve there comes a time in a man's Iife...

when defeat can be a greater triumph than victory !

WeII, amen, Major.

Mr. PoIonski.

Amen !

Good evening, Captain Lynch.

Good evening, miIord Durant.

He's mine.

Let the bitch try and take me.

- You degenerate. - SIut !

- Murderer ! - FiIth !

Pederast !

I serve one master, and his name is Darkness.

No, girI.

You aII right, miIord ;

Your bIows have a certain crude force, but they Iack any reaI styIe.

Do they, sir ;

Nervous ;

Nick, give me your cutlass.

Nick !

Mr. Moonbeam.

Now, milord, that blade, you know, is very sharp.

UnIike your wit !

- You fool ! - No, milord, I'm no fool.

I'm an Irishman !

Good night, gentIemen.

Draw the curtains. The farce is ended !
