Dialogue
[edit]- Yosemite Sam: Captain Bligh! [salutes]
- Bugs Bunny: Mr. Christian, look at you. Disgrace to the navy. This is mutiny, Mr. Christian. Mutiny, that is. Avast there, Mr. Christian. Batten down the hatches.
- Yosemite Sam: Aye-aye, sir!
- Bugs Bunny: Man the bowsprit! Stow the missen mast! Gibe the gib boom! Hoist the mainsail and lower the tattersail! Look sharp, man! Paint the starboard hatch to leeward, swats. Trim the scuppers on the port poop deck! [pants briefly in exhaustion, then laughs] What a maroon! [He laughs some more, until Yosemite Sam approaches him and takes out his sword again. gasps] Yipe!
- [He runs off, leaving a cloud of dust and Sam, unable to see clearly while trying to pursue Bugs, runs right into the mast with a loud clang, then slides back down to the deck and lays flat on his back. Bugs tries to hide in a box chest, but there's a parrot on a stand next to the chest, having seen everything, and alerts Sam of the rabbit's hiding place.]
- Polly Parrot: [as Bugs hides in a chest] He's in there!, he's in there! [Bugs hides in a coil of rope] He's in here!, he's in here! [Bugs hides in a barrel] He's in there!, he's in there!
- Bugs Bunny: Eh, Polly want a cracker?
- Polly Parrot: [jumping up and down excitedly while clapping his hands] Polly want a cracker!, Polly want a cracker!
- Bugs Bunny: [hands him a stick of dynamite] Here you are sweetheart!
- [The dynamite explodes]
- Polly Parrot: Me and my big mouth. [collapses]
- Bugs Bunny: He's in there! He's in there! He's in there! [squawks as Sam looks in the cannon, then blasts him out]
- Yosemite Sam: Say yer prayers, varmint! [Bugs throws a lighted match into the gunpowder room] NO!! [runs downstairs into the room, and marches back upstairs a few seconds later, having found and put out the fuse] Why, ya crazy doggone idjit! Whatcha tryin' to do, blow us to smithereens?! [Bugs throws another lighted match into the room] NO! [runs back down and marches up again] Blast your ornery hide! If ya does that just once more, I ain't a-goin' after it! [Bugs throws another lighted match into the gunpowder room; this time, instead of running downstairs, Sam taps his foot and plays with stress toys, while calmly Bugs brushes his fingers] OH!! [runs back downstairs, but the ship explodes, sending him and Bugs back to shore]
- Bugs: Eh, didn't make it?
- Sam: Ooh, I'll blast your head off for this! [Bugs runs away from Yosemite Sam and he dives in a hole] Alright, now! I got ya cornered! Come out and meet your doom!
- [another explosion occurs; Sam is blasted by a cannon once again and he waves a flag in surrender]
- Bugs: [laughs as he dons a pirate hat on] I have not even begun to fight! [laughs as the cartoon ends]
