"Good Morning Class" The Pirates of the Coinibbean -- Part 3

Somewhere in the Coinibbean, The POS and Captain Hallatio Coinblower plow through troubled water. The wind through the stays makes a high lonesome sound, and Captain and crew are irritable from day after day on an unforgiving sea. Coinblower has assembled all hands on deck...

Captain Coinblower: (crazed look in his eyes) MEN! ...It has come to my attention that one of our own... is a liar AND A FRAUD!

All: (angry) Haaarrrrr!!

Captain Coinblower: This man betrays US ALL!!!!!

All: (angrier) HAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!

Captain Coinblower: IT IS TREACHERY MOST FOUL!!!!

All: (angriest) HAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Bingo Baily: 'Ou is it, Captain!!!!
Nucklehead: Keel haul 'em!

Captain Coinblower (frenzied) The traitor is none other than... (he points his cutlass) TWODOGS!!!!!!

The crew gasps! All move away from TwoDogs, leaving him standing alone in the middle of the deck. He is making a pretty little braid in his beard, he seems unconcerned

Keifer the Cabinboy: Murderer!!
Mr. Numobri: KILL 'EM!!!!
Lucille Le Bop: Off with the Frankies!

Mister Kranky: CAPTAIN! What crime has this man committed?
Captain Coinblower: Crime? ...crime (wiping spittle from his chin) ...he has lied to us all.
Mister Kranky: How so, sir?
Captain Coinblower: Kiefer the Cabinboy has told me... as he tells me everything (patting Kiefer's head) good lad... TWODOGS HAS NOT TWODOGS!!!! HE HAS THREE DOGS!!!!!!!

Silence

Mister Kranky: Um... Captain...
Captain Coinblower: (glaring at TwoDogs) What?
Mister Kranky: How long we been at sea now?
Captain Coinblower: (snapping) What could it possibly matter!?
Mister Kranky: (backing away) You're right, no bearing on anything...

From up in the Crow's Nest Mr. Wingedliberty shouts at the top of his lungs

Mr. Wingedliberty: CAPTAIN!!!! CAPTAIN!!!! THERE'S A SHIP!!!!

The entire crew runs to the railing. The POS begins to list heavily to port.

MrKelso: Is it The Jade?????!!!!!
Outhaul: BATTLE STATIONS CAPTAIN???!!!!
Mr. Arco: AAAAARRRRRR!

Coinblower looks feverishly through his spyglass. The Ship is large and closing fast under full sail--

Captain Coinblower: BE READY MEN!!!!!

Details begin to show. The Sails are handsome. The davits of the ship glisten as if made of gold...

Captain Coinblower: IT'S THE.... IT'S THE---

The Ship is painted in vibrant, multi-color, monster rainbow tones--

Captain Coinblower: (snapping shut his spyglass--standing dejected)
Blast his eyes... it's The Anaconda.

The marvelous ship is now within eye sight of the entire crew of The POS. It is a glorious vessel--with only the finest fittings, a string quartet playing on the aft deck, and Captain Adrian Crane smiling and waving, with his arm around his first mate, Miss Stephanie....

The crew of The POS silently watch The Anaconda as it glides by, slowly becoming nothing more than a speck on the horizon.


Kiefer the Cabinboy: Gosh! What a cool ship, Captain!
Captain Coinblower: (blank stare) Shut up.



LATER THAT NIGHT COINBLOWER TALKS TO DR. POOLE

Captain Coinblower: Explain it to me again, Poole!

Dr. Poole: You see Captain, Twodogs doesn't necessarily have to have two dogs. Any more than Corkkarl is made of cork... or Mister Coinguy is actually a coin...

Coinblower: But, his name is Twodogs--blast! His name is TwoDogs!!

Dr. Poole: Yes, I know sir. But, do you blow coins, Captain Coinblower? --don't answer that.

Coinblower: If his name is Twodogs--he should have two dogs! If he indeed has three, I demand one be rolled into a small ball and shot out of a cannon.

Dr. Poole: A reasonable request, sir. But, how about for now we just concentrate on finding The Jade Coin?

Coinblower: (thinking) ---that ship is actually made of real jade, right?

Dr. Poole: (touching the bridge of his nose) D-oh.

Brevity is the soul of wit. --William Shakespeare
