Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas Page #4

- Heads down!

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Oh, no!

Lean right!

- Whew.

- Come on!

- Hang on!

Yep, there they are.

There...

Just as I... planned.

It's Marina!

We thought you

were gone forever!

Oh, I'm fine. Really.

But I'm touched by your concern.

Yee-ha!

Sinbad?

Thank you for coming after me.

Well, y...

you're welcome.

This life suits you.

Yeah.

I wasn't made for dry land.

And you?

Is it the shore... or the sea?

I've always loved the sea.

I even dreamed

of a life on it.

But it wasn't meant to be.

I have responsibilities

in Syracuse.

You really have to give it up?

Yes.

You know, I've

traveled the world,

seen things no other

man has seen...

but nothing...

nothing compares

to the open sea.

And is this what

you always wanted?

Not really.

When we were young,

Proteus and I

used to talk about

joining the Royal Navy

and serving Syracuse

side by side.

But as we got older,

our lives began to change.

He's a prince,

and I'm... well.

I was never jealous

of him, though...

until one morning,

a ship came into harbor...

a ship with his

future on it.

It was the most beautiful

thing I'd ever seen.

What was on the ship?

You.

Proteus met you

at the dock.

I jumped on the

first outbound ship

and never looked back.

Until now.

Rat! Give me a lookout!

We're dead.

What is it?!

I- I-It just ends, Captain!

It's the edge of the world!

Pay up. It's flat.

Well, that's it.

Time to go home.

Nuh-uh-uh.

The captain hasn't

given his orders yet.

Follow that star

beyond the horizon.

Beyond the horizon.

Sinbad?

Men! All hands to your posts!

Free all sheets!

Wait for my command!

What?

Now! Go! Go! Go!

Eh, Sinbad, how-how are

we gonna pull this off?

Just trust me.

Rat! Rig the main yard

to the fors'le!

But that would stop us dead!

Just do it!

Aye, aye, Captain.

Whoa!

Slack to all sheets!

Aye, aye, Cap'n!

Cut the fore and main trusses!

- Move! Move! Move!

I got it. I got it. I got it.

Aft yard astern!

But that's...

Crazy, I know! Now hurry!

Here, grab it!

Go!

Swing the fors'le to port!

Ease the aft!

Full hoist to forward sails!

Aye, aye, Captain.

Come on!

Pull!

Tie off all sails!

All hands amidships!

And pray to the gods.

We may be meeting them soon.

We're going to die.

Hold on! Grab the rope!

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

It worked?

Sinbad...

...you did it.

- Grab hold!

Grum, hard to port!

Hard to port!

- Kale!

- Aye!

If I don't make it,

the ship is yours.

No.

Gentlemen, it's

been a privilege

robbing with you.

I'm coming with you.

And don't tell me

the Realm of Chaos is

no place for a woman.

Hmm.

I would never say that.

Hey, sorry, boy.

Not this time.

Huh?

- Huh?

- Huh?

Now, now, my pets.

Is this any way

to treat a guest?

Okay, I'm severely creeped out.

Bravo.

No mortal has ever made it

to Tartarus before.

Alive, that is...

Make yourself at home.

Thank you. Uh...

nice place you got here.

Like it?

I'm planning on doing

the whole world this way.

Wow, that's a good plan.

Well, I see you're busy,

so listen, we'll just take

the Book of Peace

and get of your way.

What makes you think I have it?

Uh, well, you framed me

for the theft,

so they would execute me.

You?

Yeah.

No.

Proteus!

You knew he would take my place.

What a clever little man

you are.

You thought I'd run.

Then Proteus would die,

and Syracuse would be...

Left without

the next rightful king,

and tumble into glorious chaos.

You humans are so predictable.

Proteus couldn't help

being ever so noble,

and you couldn't help

betraying him.

But I didn't betray Proteus!

I didn't run away.

Oh, but you did betray him.

You stole his only love.

Look at her, Sinbad.

He's not even

in his grave yet,

and you're moving in

on his girl.

Face it:
Your heart

is as black as mine.

You're wrong about him!

He knows I'm not!

You don't know

what's in his heart.

Oh, yes, I do.

And more importantly,

so does he.

In your heart,

you know that

Proteus is

going to die

because he saw

something in you

that just isn't there.

No.

You want to bet?

I'll tell you what.

Let's play a game.

And if you win,

I'll give you

the Book of Peace.

There it is, noble hero.

Not so fast.

My game has rules,

Sinbad.

I'll ask you a question.

One simple question.

If you answer truthfully,

the Book is yours.

- Give me your word.

You still don't trust me?

Uh... no.

Isn't it a pity

we live in such skeptical times?

Oh, all right.

You have my word, as a goddess.

Fair enough?

Ask your question.

Excellent.

Now, we all know what happens

if you get the Book of Peace.

You return it to Syracuse

and save Proteus.

But if you don't get the Book,

you have

a choice to make.

Either sail to paradise

with the woman

of your dreams,

or return to Syracuse to die.

You're either a thief or a hero.

So, here's my question, Sinbad.

If you don't get the Book,

will you go back to die?

I will go back.

You're lying.

I'm sorry, Marina.

Eris is right about me.

No, she's not.

You answered her question.

You told the truth.

It wasn't the truth.

It was me trying to pass

myself off as someone I'm not.

Sinbad,

I've seen who you are!

You don't need to pretend!

Eris trapped you!

Why should you or Proteus

or anyone have to die?!

Marina...

No! You need to escape.

Get as far away as you can.

I'll go back.

I'll explain everything.

No, Marina.

I can't watch you die!

I love you.

But could you love a man

who would run away?

I bet you thought

I wouldn't make it.

I was...

...beginning to wonder.

The Book?

I did my best.

It wasn't enough.

No.

You came back anyway.

How could I do anything else...

my friend?

Get back!

How dare you?!

Everything

was going perfectly,

and now you do this!

Eris, I don't understand.

Don't play coy with me.

Maybe you can fool these people,

but I know who you are.

You're a selfish,

unprincipled liar!

Wait a minute.

I didn't lie.

I came back.

That's why you're here.

This was all part

of your test.

I told the truth.

And wasn't there something

about being

"bound for all eternity"?

Well, well, well.

This has got to be a little

embarrassing for you, Eris.

Don't push your luck, Sinbad.

You're cute,

but not that cute.

And lucky for you,

I've got places to go,

things to destroy,

stuff to steal.

Ta.

You know,

for what it's worth,

I think the council

believes you now.

You think?

King Dymas.

Uh, whoa, hey.

How much you got on you?

I offer you the gratitude

of the Twelve Cities,

and the apology of a king.

No, really. How much?

Sinbad.

Come on.

This is going to be

a heck of a party.

Everyone's going to want

to hear about the voyage.

Fair winds, calm seas.

Nothing much to tell.

What's the matter?

No fun if you're

actually invited?

No, it's just, uh...

there's a hammock in Fiji

with my name on it.

Good sailing, Sinbad.

Get a haircut.

You're going to be king someday.

Just another

uneventful day in Syracuse.
