The Princess and the Pirate Page #9

'Tis The Hook's ship.

Our search is ended.

Return fire!

Sylvester, the cannon have stopped.

It must be La Roche's ship.

- They're boarding us now.

- I can feel my head getting smaller already.

You're wanted on deck, my lady. You, too.

- Lf I wasn't chained...

- Sylvester, they want us on deck.

Yeah, La Roche.

Okay, hand me my harp and let's get going.

Well, what do you know,

they've hooked The Hook.

Now that I've got the chance...

I want to tell you, all the time you

were chasing me I was putting on an act.

I bet you thought I was scared,

a coward, and shaking in my boots.

- Boo!

- I bet you were right.

Well, Featherhead.

- Don't worry about a thing. I'll get you out.

- Oh, no. I like it.

Father!

Thank heaven you're unharmed, my child.

How do you like that? The King.

Hi, Your Honor.

How's the Queen and all the little Jacks?

I'm a card.

I just...

- Father, how did you ever find me?

- And we thought you were La Roche.

La Roche is my prisoner.

He turned blubbering coward

when placed in the rack.

He told all and gave me the course...

The Hook must sail

to retrieve his buried treasure.

And now, my child,

you're safe with me once again.

You mean, you're taking me back?

I've learned the futility

of trying to impose my will on yours.

Marry whom you wish.

You have my blessings.

Oh, Father. You'll not regret this.

I love him, though he's but a commoner,

a humble servant of Your Majesty.

- But he's so kind, so noble, and so...

- Handsome?

And he's right here on this ship.

Of course, I'm not working steady,

but what does that mean to a king?

- A little dowry, you'll never miss it...

- Are you?

Darling!

My darling.

Stick around, son,

something older may show up for you.

How do you like that?

I knock my brains out for nine reels...

and a bit player from Paramount

comes over and gets the girl.

- This is the last picture I do for Goldwyn.

- Pardon me.

- Don't make a meal out of it.

- Go sell your rack, shellac.
