BILLY

Welcome back, Cap’n.

MOLLY

Aye, we missed ye.

(PIRATES go back to work.)

BONES

Ahoy! Throw down the ladder. Hoist them lubbers aboard!

BLINKY

Look what we brought ye, mates.

SLINKY

Two privateers from Frog Creek, soon to be shark food if they don’t cough up the Cap’n’s treasure!

BONES

Jonah!!! Where be me cabin boy? Jonah!

(JONAH rushes on.)

JONAH

Aye, Cap’n?

BONES

Take ’em below! And neither gruel nor grog til the little mice decide to squeal!

NATHANIEL

WILHELMINA

BONES

(ANNIE notices POLLY circling above them in the sky.)

ANNIE

Hey, look, there’s the parrot! From the picture in the book! Hi, Polly!

(POLLY dives toward JACK and ANNIE.)

POLLY

Go back! Go back!


ANNIE

(JACK, looking up at POLLY, notices just how ominous the sky looks.)

JACK

Oh, man, the sky got so dark. Looks like a big storm is coming.
