The pirates deal
Chapter I
Tortuga Island, Friday.
The sun goes down at the end of a torrid and humid afternoon.
After 12 months of turmoil, the pirate captains, from all the seas, finally meet each other to “parlé”.
Old friendships are seen … old stories are told … … rum is drunk … talk badly about the absentees… some of them are playing with “almost virgin” whores… other, piss on a rival’s sword when the guy is distracted, so… a delight pirate’s “fête”.
Scene I – The case
Introducing:
Captain Talking Pick
Captain Smooth Lips
(Near a palm tree, Captain Talking Pick and Captain Smooth Lips piss against the wind.)
Captain Talking Pick
– Ahoy, Lips!… What th’ fucking be happen ‘ere, ye cow – hearted feculent cuttlefish?
Captain Smooth Lips
– What do ye mean, ye festerin’ craven shark bait?
Captain Talking Pick
– Th’ pestilence, o’ course!
Captain Smooth Lips
– Aye!… Disgusting as a milk cup!
Captain Talking Pick
– What do ye do about it, ye miserable frozen hake? It will be dangerous to all th’ crews… Do something, by Neptune!
Captain Smooth Lips
– Aye aye, Cap’n!… I’ll talk with th’ crews!
(Captain Smooth Lips shake and get out; Captain Talking Pick, with a small prostate problem, takes some more time.)
