Act 3 Scene 3
Aboard l'Invincible Radeau. Enter Captain Skull, Matt, Jack Pistol, Edgar Wildrat, Lawrence Daggerpaine, Simon Redskull and Miss Telltale.

Macmonger's ship is now almost upon them.

Matt: We should have ran when I suggested it.

Captain Skull: Shut up, Billy. You have no clue about sailing.

Matt: Actually, sir, my name is Matt and I used to be the helmsman aboard the HMS...

Captain Skull: James, we have more important things to worry about than your life story.

Matt sighs.

Lawrence Daggerpaine: Shall we try reason with Mr Macmonger?

Simon Redskull: Good luck, trying to talk sense into the Royal Navy's most corrupt captain.

Robert Macmonger's ship pulls along side and grapples are thrown onto the railing.

Enter Robert Macmonger accompanied by eight navy soldiers.

Robert Macmonger: I see three men and a lady who will be spending tonight locked in my ship's brig!

Edgar Wildrat: Captain Macmonger, I order you to return to your ship and sail away.

Robert Macmonger: And a prince who will be paying a steep price for his kingly father not to hear of his acquiantance with four criminals.

Simon Redskull: You're a corrupt thug!

Robert Macmonger: And you are the first of the four to be put under arrest.

Lawrence Daggerpaine: What is Simon charged with?

Robert Macmonger: He dwells too deep in military documents and secrets he should not know about. He has often stolen important papwerwork from the navy.

Two navy guards grab Simon and put cuffs on his wrists.

They take him behind Macmonger and hold him there.

Navy Guard 1: Who is next sir?

Robert Macmonger: Ladies first. Arrest Miss Telltale for murder, theft, lawlessness and many other crimes including turning down a marriage to me.

Captain Skull: How dare you try and marry this fine lady!

Robert Macmonger: Arrest him too. He has fired on ships owned by His Majesty with this poor excuse of a ship.

Captain Skull: On the country! My ship, l'Invincible Radeau is a fine majestic vessel!

One of the navy guards laughs.

Navy Guard 2: (In a French accent) I believe you mean contrary, it is shocking that me, a Frenchman, can speak better english then an Englishman.

Captain Skull: The correct term is gooder English but I'll let it slide because you are still learning.

Navy Guard 2 rolls his eyes.

Navy Guard 2: (Still in his French accent) By the way who named your ship?

Captain Skull: The man who I bought it from did. He said it was French for The Invincible Titan!

Navy Guard 2: He was lying to you, it means (while laughing) The Invincible Raft!

All begin to giggle.

Robert Macmonger: Enough jokes! Arrest them!

Miss and Captain Skull are both approached by two navy guards.

Their hands are cuffed and they are taken to stand next to Simon.

Miss Telltale: Please, dont make me share a cell with this guy!

Robert Macmonger: We are short on space, you will have to. (Evil laugh)

Captain Skull: And I think to myself what a wonderful world!

Robert Macmonger: And now for Jack Pistol. Cuff him!

Two navy guards approach Jack.

Lawrence Daggerpaine: Is there no way we can reason with you?

Robert Macmonger: Only one thing can sway my decisions and it seems none of you have that one thing.

Captain Skull: Is it a majestic vessel? I have one of those!

Edgar Wildrat: You idiot! He means money!

Before the navy guards reach Jack, he draws his sword and hacks at the nearest of the two.

Edgar draws his saber and slashes at the other one.

Robert Macmonger fires a shot with his pistol and everyone stops.

The other guards race forward, grab Jack and cuff him.

Robert Macmonger: You just love to annoy me dont you, Jack? And you too Edgar! You are both bloody pests.

Jack is taken to stand with the other prisoners.

Robert Macmonger: Edgar, I excpect to have my bribe before I reach your father if not you can expect to be diswoned. (Evil laugh)

Exit Robert Macmonger, The eight Navy Guards and the four prisoners to Robert's ship.

Matt: Now what do we do?

Lawrence Daggerpaine: The loss of Mr Pistol and the rest does mean less people to reward, however, it means a harder job for us and the possibility of Mr Wildrat being reported to his father.

Edgar Wildrat: So we rescue them!

All exit
