Billy Gilbert: The Sea Captain

Quotes 

  • The Sea Captain : [to scare the Gang out of wanting to be pirates, the Captain pretends to challenge his men, then when they talk back, hits them on the head and lets them fall through the hatch to the hold below]  Hey, come here. Didn't I tell you to swab the deck?

    Pirate : I forgot.

    The Sea Captain : You forgot? Take that! Hey, you, Cy, come over here. Didn't I tell you to weigh the anchor?

    Pirate : I did.

    The Sea Captain : Well, what did it weigh?

    Pirate : I forgot.

    The Sea Captain : You forgot? Take that! Hey, you, come over here.

    Pirate : Aye Aye, Captain.

    The Sea Captain : Don't you 'Aye Aye' me. You two, come over here. What're you doin' over there?

    Two Pirates : We don't know, Captain.

    The Sea Captain : You don't know, huh!

    [and two more sailors go down] 

  • Pirate : They're scared to death.

    The Sea Captain : [pretending to be cutthroats outside the cabin where the Gang are hiding]  Cook, I think you'd better roast one of them for dinner.

    Pirate : Aye Aye, Captain.

    Wheezer : Gee, they're gonna cook us.

    Pirate : Which one, uh, shall I roast, Captain?

    The Sea Captain : One with lots of dark meat on 'im.

    Stymie : Dark meat... uh oh.

  • Stymie : [the sea captain has been talking about sailing around the pole]  Is that where the cats come from?

    The Sea Captain : What cats?

    Stymie : The polecats!... We had a polecat under our house once, and boy did we take a trip.

    Wheezer : Oh, you vacated, huh?

    Stymie : Vacated nuthin', we fumigated!

  • Stymie : I'm tired of this old captain. Will I tell him something.

    The Sea Captain : What was you gonna tell me?

    Stymie : I was gonna tell you you're the nicest man I ever met.

    The Sea Captain : I'm bad. My heart is bad. My feet is bad. I'm bad all over!

    Stymie : My oh my that man is bad. Oh Mr. Captain, we kinda lost out taste for being pirates.

    The Sea Captain : Oh ho! So you're going to be the one to back out first.

    Stymie : I kinda figured we be going out feet first.
