Treasure Island Page #9

Synopsis: Former pirate Billy Bones boards at the seaside inn operated by Jim Hawkins and his mother and confides his dread of discovery by his old cohorts to the young boy. After Bones' death, Jim shares his treasure map with the reputable gentry, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, who organize an expedition to recover the buried loot. Long John Silver, a charming but ruthless rogue, is able to infiltrate the ship with his pirate co-conspirators and mercilessly murders loyal crew members. In the subsequent struggle with the mutineers over the buried gold, half-witted marooned pirate Ben Gunn may hold the key to victory.

Why, I can talk with Ben,

he and me are old shipmates.

Just for protection on shore, you know.

It's a wild place, Jamaica.

All right.

But I told you, you mustn't.

Now, ain't that terrible?

He's left to guard a ship,

and there he lays in a drunken stupor.

But he has a awful large bump

on his head.

Well, he must have got that

when he fell off of there...

...and hit the deck with his head.

Ain't that too bad.

Well, matey...

What old Long John's got to tell you,

he don't know how to say it.

I don't mean that you'll be forgiving me

all the bad things that I've done...

...but just for the mateys

that we might have been.

You won't be a pirate anymore, will you?

You won't steal?

No, sir. From now on...

...my course is going to be a straight,

honest one, so help me.

Why, shiver my timbers, I...

Well, now, I'm glad

that happened, matey.

That's just what I was trying to tell you,

and I didn't know how.

I cut through the bulkhead,

into where the treasure was...

...and took off just one sack of gold.

But you promised you wouldn't.

Well, I took that before I promised.

But it's off my conscience now...

...and the Lord knows my conscience

won't stand any more, matey.

- Well, here. You may need it.

- No, no, no, thanks.

But you have to buy food.

No, that's all right, Jim.

I'll get along all right.

I'll get along all right.

Well, matey...

Here.

Feed her good.

And put her...

You put her down below decks

when any women around, huh?

I will. I promise I will.

Oh, belay that. Don't do that.

Our courses will cross again sometime.

Lookie. Lookie, now.

Now, you didn't get all of that bar silver

on that island, now, did you?

- No.

- Well, who knows?

Maybe someday

you'll have a great big ship.

Bigger than this one.

And you'll go down there and get

the rest of that treasure, now, won't you?

And you might be needing

a mate or a captain, huh?

- I guess so.

- All right.

And who do you think would come

hobbling along for that berth...

...but old Long John Silver?

It'd be Honest Long John then.

And together, we'd go down there

and dig up that treasure...

...and we'd scour all the seas

for all the treasures on those islands.

And we'd hunt goats.

And fight cannibals.

It's true, matey. Certain, we will.

Certain, we will.
