1:37:00
Read it for yourself.
1:37:01
Lord Willoughby,
you're a guest aboard my ship...
1:37:04
and I've still some notion left me
from better days of decent behavior...
1:37:07
so I'll not be telling you
what I think of this offer.
1:37:09
All I'll say is,
I wouldn't soil my hands with it...
1:37:12
even though they're the hands
of a thief and a pirate.
1:37:15
But this concerns you, too, my lads.
1:37:18
What do you say to serving the King?
1:37:20
No!
1:37:25
I'd like to serve him with a rope necktie.
1:37:28
I'd rot before I'd serve him.
1:37:31
I'd sink this ship with all hands
before I'd serve him.
1:37:34
lt would appear then
that my crew is still a little dubious...
1:37:37
as to the merits of His Majesty's offer.
1:37:40
However you hate the King,
England is still England.
1:37:43
And a bad king is bad king,
and worse one if he's James.
1:37:46
James?
This commission is sent by King William.
1:37:50
King William? Who may King William be
and what's he king of?
1:37:54
I'm alluding to His Majesty,
King William III, William of Orange...
1:37:57
who, with Queen Mary,
has come over from the Netherlands...
1:38:00
and has been ruling England
the past two months or more.
1:38:05
They've roused themselves at home
and kicked out that pimple James?
1:38:08
Yes, and he's fled to France
and he's in hiding there...
1:38:11
and England and France are at war.
1:38:13
The English people will go so far,
Capt. Blood...
1:38:16
and then they get up
on their stubborn hind legs.
1:38:19
-And William sent us this commission?
-Yes.
1:38:22
He knows you're good men,
wrongfully sold into slavery.
1:38:25
He can use good men in his navy.
1:38:29
lt's the long-winded fellow you are.
1:38:31
Why didn't you tell us this
in the first place?
1:38:35
Bugler, summon the men amidships!
1:38:46
Men!
I've just heard a startling piece of news.
1:38:50
King James is kicked out of England
and good King William reigns in his stead.
1:38:57
For me,
this changes the shape of the world.
