:35:00
Topmen, your handling of the sheets
to be lubberly and un-navylike,
:35:04
until the signal
to spill the wind from our sails.
:35:07
This will bring us almost
to a complete stop.
:35:10
Gun crews, you must run out and tie down
in double-quick time.
:35:14
With the rear wheels removed you've gained
elevation, but without recoil you can't reload.
:35:19
So, gun captains, that gives you one shot
from the larboard battery. One shot only.
:35:24
You'll fire for her mainmast.
Much will depend on your accuracy.
:35:29
However, even crippled she will still
be dangerous, like a wounded beast.
:35:38
Captain Howard and the marines
:35:40
will sweep their weather deck with swivel gun
and musket fire from the tops.
:35:44
They'll try and even the odds for us
before we board.
:35:49
They mean to take us as a prize.
:35:52
And we are worth more to them undamaged.
Their greed... will be their downfall.
:36:00
England is under threat of invasion.
:36:03
And though we be on the far side
of the world, this ship is our home.
:36:09
This ship is England.
:36:14
So it's every hand to his rope or gun.
Quick's the word and sharp's the action.
:36:19
After all, surprise is on our side.
:36:33
- Toss them high so they can see them.
- Hello, Doctor.
:36:36
Jack.
:36:37
- Care for a cigar?
- Thank you, no.
:36:40
If you please, Doctor.
:36:43
- I took the liberty, Doctor.
- Thank you, Killick.
:36:47
- There's three lumps in there.
- How kind.
