Thank ye, all. It was a pleasant surprise in an otherwise horrible day. And congratulations to Mercenary. Bring on the pirate cake!!!

Aye...I do believe that you are right! More rum!

You sir, are drunk! More wine?

(wakes up buried to his neck in sand) What the...?

Aye, you may indeed. (takes Mercenary's hand and with a nod to Phil begins to dance and knock over chairs)

OH, how dashing! And for you...I'll wear the red brocade vest with the spanish gold buttons. Let's have some music here! I'm in a dancing mood.

Ohhhhh stop. Is my face red? Well if it ain't, I ain't nearly drunk enough by half! More rum!

Well thank you kindly, Mercenary. Tis a fine thing to have notoriety among pirates. Aye, a fine thing. I think I'll put on me dress sword and hanger and wear a sash of fine Thai silk. Aye.

Great Scot! I'm notorious! When did that happen? Drinks are on the house! I'm bloody notorious!! Let the beer and wine flow! Let there be a veritable tsunami of imbibements! Arrrrrrr!! (Does a jig and fires off a pistol or two)

Never you mind about looking red. Try being a redhead. Aye.

(pats Mercenary on the back) No, no, no. I meant that I replenish the holds with stolen goods regularly, not the other way around. The Kate has plenty of food and drink. Aye. Drink up.

A dent in me stores? Hardly. Most of it was stolen. Here's a bottle of Jameson for Crimson...

Behold...Sangria!

Take this to the table at the back... Today's specials are Roasted Rib Eye with roasted vegetables... Salmon in Saffron Mussel Sauce... Roasted Asparagus with Fresh Favas and Morels... Shrimp, Jicama and Apricot Salad... And Tiramisu.

You...don't...like...sushi...? (gasp) Have you ever had spicy shrimp tempura rolls?

(hands Merchenary Wench some shark repellant) I'll get my harpoon.

Jazz Mandolin Project - Jungle Tango It's lute music hyped up on adreneline and rum.

(offers his hand) We might do better to all go swimming. Less chance of falling.

(puts his foot in a brass monkey sending cannonballs everywhere) Avast!

My reputation procedes me, but it also follows me. While captain of the Hammerhead, it was my standing order to chum the seas wherever we sailed. This left a "red wake" trailing behind the ship. Any sailor foolish enough to fall overboard went to the sharks that ever followed the Hammerhead. It had a way of keeping the men on their toes. Aye, it did indeed. Not to mention the impact it had on rumor mongers and other ships.

It...can't...get...any...worse...? Most of us are armed! (Steps back into the fray)

Danger is my middle naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! (crash)

wow...has it been awhile. you better lead.

I know the swing moves well. Aye. I can lead or follow. Take it away!

Then...may I have this dance? (lays aside his coat, hat and pistols)
