"Ahoy, strange seafarers." "What brings you so far from shore in such a modest vessel?" "Well, it's kind of funny." "We found this rowboat in the alley because there was a ball in the garbage truck." "This ball." "(WHISPERING) The Helpseeker." "Willory, they've come!" "WILLORY:" "Who's come, my lady?" "The heroes." "They're here!" "What'd she say?" "We've been waiting for you." "Quickly, come up." "It's splendid to meet you." "I'm Eloise, Princess of Monteria, and this is my butler, Willory." "We haven't much time." "Pirates have taken my brother, Prince Alexander." "With my father, the King, away in the west, it is imperative that we mount a rescue immediately." "So?" "Well, you're the heroes." "Any questions?" "My lady, may I have a word?" "We need to talk." "Certainly." "One moment." "We'll be right with you." "I mean no disrespect, but these men hardly seem the heroic type." "They're short, rather pudgy, and for heaven's sake, they were rowing around the ocean." "What is going on here?" "She thinks we're, uh..." "Heroes." "But, Willory, they have the ball." "Perhaps they plucked it from the ocean or stole it from the real heroes." "They could be pirates themselves, you know." "I mean, look how they're dressed." "So, what do we do?" "I say we have the asparagus and the little princess turn this boat around and take us home." "Or we take this opportunity to do what we've always wanted to do." "Buy go-carts?" "No, be heroes." "But we're cabin boys." "They don't know that." "She called us heroes." "You're kidding, right?" "Oh, come on, how hard could it be?" "We sail around, we find the prince, we go back home heroes." "But how can we trust them?" "Because I trust my father." "He created the Helpseeker for one purpose, to bring help." "And this is the help it has brought." "It's kind of nice to be called a hero." "Sure beats "loser."" "Well, gentlemen, are you ready for adventure?" "Point the way!" "Oh, you're not pirates, are you?" "Well, we're..." "We sure aren't cabin boys." "We're friendly pirates, sort of." "Oh." "You don't rob or pillage, do you?" "Oh, no, we don't do any of that stuff." "In fact, we don't do anything at all." "Back home, they actually call us "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything."" "(LAUGHING) That's right." "How comforting." "Well, then, there's no time to spare." "Great." "I'll drive." "We'll just give it some gas." "How do you start this thing?" "(LAUGHING) What a kidder." "Elliot, let me take the wheel." "You scramble up to the yard and unfurl the topsail." "Come again?" "Position three." "Oh!" "Aye, aye, Captain." "So, you guys got TiVo?" "Certainly." "Where are my manners?" "Willory, kindly bring our friend some tea." "No, TiVo." "It's the recording thing with the TV thing in the future." "Tea would be lovely." "(GRUNTS)" "The spies are in place, sir." "This is great." "So, where we headed?" "We're coming up on a bunch of islands." "Real pointy ones." "Yes, the Whipcrack Islands." "These treacherous waters shelter many a desperate pirate." "A skilled captain able to sail this maze will find, at its center, the Inn of Jolly Joe, a popular pirate haunt." "Perhaps we should turn back." "We cannot turn back." "Alexander is counting on us." "Captain, are you up to the task?" "Sure." "Why, exactly, do we need to go there?" "To find out more about this." "Hey, I've seen that on TV." "You can cut a can with it and still slice a tomato." "This cutlass belongs to the pirate who took my brother." "If we find out who the owner is, we'll be closer to finding Alexander." "WILLORY:" "My lady, I don't think we're safe." "These waters teem with pirates, and you'd make a handsome prize." "We must do whatever it takes to rescue my brother, Willory." "Besides, we have our heroes to watch over us." "Does anyone know where the bathroom is?" "Oh." "Don't worry about a thing, Willory." "It's under control." "Listen here, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I know what a hero is and you three buffoons are most definitely not." "How do we look, First Mate Elliot?" "Looking good, Captain." "Steady as she goes." "Huh?" "Captain, did you see anything over there?" "Hey, I don't see anything." "Hmm." "(CANNON FIRING)" "Oh, no!" "What?" "Oh, dear!" "Drop your sails and prepare to be boarded!" "Quickly, my lady, you must hide." "What do I do?" "(STUTTERS)" "We should drop our sails." "What?" "Drop the sails!" "Get to the yard and undo the knots." "Position three!" "Okay." "Perhaps you don't know who you're dealing with." "This be One-Eyed Louie, terror of the Seven Seas." "I'm giving you to the count of five to drop your sails or we'll send you to the bottom." "(PIRATES LAUGHING) ELLIOT:" "I'm putting you on my list." "Drop the sails!" "Drop the sails!" "I don't know how to untie them." "Five..." "They're bowline knots." "Break the back!" "Back of what?" "Which?" "Where?" "Four..." "The rabbit goes around the tree twice, then down the hole." "Get the rabbit out of the hole!" "What rabbit?" "Three... (SINGING) Looking for the bathroom" "Oh!" "How quaint." "The princess has a Powder Room!" "Locked." "All right, where's the key?" "Two..." "I'm not getting it." "The rabbit, the middle, the hole!" "Here, key, key, key!" "Oh!" "Look, there you are." "On a big ring, just like at the gas station." "One." "Come on." "I got to go!" "(PIRATES YELLING)" "What a marvelous strategy, pretending you couldn't untie a knot while Sedgewick crept down to the gun deck." "What cunning!" "What bravery!" "(STUTTERING) Oh, it was nothing." "Really." "I told you they were heroes." "SEDGEWICK:" "I don't have to go to the bathroom no more!" "PIRATE:" "Get a move on." "Hurry it up!" "Welcome to my kingdom, Prince." "It's not quite as homely as your father's, but it's great for entertaining." "SAILORS:" "Whoa!" "Have fun!" "You can't hide, Robert." "My father will send help." "(LAUGHING) Oh, I would enjoy that." "All are welcome." "(GRUNTING)" "Watch your step." "Any sign of the inn yet?" "Anything?" "Not yet." "My father will be very pleased that his Helpseeker found you all." "You love your dad a lot, huh?" "Oh, yes." "He's a wonderful king." "Wise, brave, but he always finds time for me, his little Eloise." "Oh, that's great." "I'd figure a king would be kind of busy most of the time." "Oh, but he's much more than just an ordinary king." "Do you have children?" "Sure do." "George Jr." "and Lucy." "Great kids." "I'm sure they know how lucky they are." "A hero for a father!" "(SIGHING)" "ELLIOT:" "I see something!" "It looks like an inn or something." "WILLORY:" "I'm asking again, my lady, for your own safety, please return to the ship." "You are a princess, and this inn is full of treacherous pirates!" "Yes, thank you, Willory." "But my brother's life may be at stake." "Even princesses can do what's right." "Yes, of course." "You'll need to befriend a group of pirates, then ask them about the owner of this cutlass." "Right." "And, for heaven's sake, keep your wits about you." "These are treacherous men." "PIRATE:" "Join in!" "PIRATES: (SINGING)" "Argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh" "Argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh, argh!" "Grab your root beer, hold it high!"

"My uncle!" "You have his cutlass, but you're not he." "The others were fooled, but I know better." "You know where we could find this fellow?" "His fortress is hidden." "But I've heard tell of an island, past the Rocks of Malabar." "On that island, a cave." "And in that cave, the clues to finding his secret lair." "Not that I'd go looking for it." "And why shouldn't they?" "They don't call him "Robert the Terrible" for nothing." "He's the King's own brother, but he's as bad as the King is good." "Tried to take the throne by force, he did." "And, for his treachery, was banished from Monteria." "So he's a little nasty." "A little?" "(CHUCKLES) Aren't you up for a little adventure?" "I hear tell, locked deep in his fortress, he's harnessed the mechanical arts, to make himself stronger than the King." "With terrible iron legs and arms." "Not that terrible." "His iron claw can crack a coconut!" "Stop trying to scare them." "Story says he's waiting for the King to step away, just long enough to grab his beloved children and take the throne for his own." "So, what would he do with them?" "For Robert to claim the throne, they must be gone!" "(GASPING) On vacation?" "Princess Eloise?" "(CHUCKLES)" "So, what would he do with someone who was helping the Prince and Princess?" "A cucumber slices much more easily than a coconut." "(GRUNTING)" "(PANTING)" "Oh, for Pete's sake." "Okay, that's enough adventure for this gourd." "GEORGE:" "Clearing tables is really kind of fun when you think about it." "Don't leave without me!" "GEORGE:" "Which way would be home?" "George!" "Sedgewick!" "Elliot!" "Where are you going?" "We must sail for the island at once!" "Unless, of course, our heroes are giving up." "(TITTERING) Oh, no." "It's just that, you know, heroes can be very busy." "And now that this situation is under control, we've been beckoned to another crisis." "Somewhere else." "You must be mistaken." "The Helpseeker brought you here, and only the Helpseeker can send you back." "According to my father's notes, the red button brings help, and the blue button sends you home." "But I don't believe it will light until your work here is done." "I want to go home!" "Just get me back to 1972." "I'll walk from there." "I don't understand." "You're our heroes!" "Brave as lions and cunning as foxes." "Are you the lion?" "'Cause I'm not the lion." "No, you're the chicken." "He's the spineless sea sponge." "Who are you?" "I don't know." "I'm like a sleepy little panda." "My father brought you here for a reason, and your work here is not done." "(DOOR OPENING)" "All right, here are the Rocks of Malabar." "But look!" "There's no island anywhere." "But Jolly Joe said there's an island past the rocks." "Well, you're the King's heroes." "I'll leave the interpretation up to you." "Ta-ta!" "I don't know about you, but if I bump into that Robert guy, I'm going to wet myself." "Well, let's at least go look." "It won't be that hard." "We sail to the Rocks, look around a little, and then go home." "Our work will be done." "No island, nothing more we can do." "I don't know." "Well, what if the map is wrong?" "Come on, guys." "We'll be fine." "We can look like heroes without doing anything dangerous." "That does have a nice ring to it." "Great plan, George." "What he lacks in spine, he makes up for in brain."

"Oh, I'm sure there are snakes." "Big ones, too." "And spiders and bears." "Huh?" "Of course, the real question is why are we on this island?" "I don't follow you." "We had a plan!" "Sail to the Rocks, don't find the island, go home!" "Which part eluded you?" "It was a sea mirage!" "You knew that, but we didn't need to know that." "It's an adventure." "I don't want any more adventure!" "I should be home on the couch right now, eating cheese curls and watching The Love Boat!" "Instead, I'm stuck here with Captain Weather Channel on my way to be sliced and diced by Edward Scissorhands!" "Look, I don't know what I'm doing here." "I'm just trying to help Eloise." "Let's just get the clues for the Princess." "Maybe then we can go home." "Now, if I were a cave, where would I be?" "Right about there." "(BATS SCREECHING)" "(HOWLING)" "Dark, creepy caves are on my list." "Sedgewick, look for the clues." "Oh, yeah." "To bring me even closer to my death." "So, what's wrong with our boat?" "We can't sneak up on them in a pirate boat, you ninny." "So, what do they look like?" "What?" "The clues." "I don't know." "Maybe a map or a model of the world carved out of rock." "Or maybe a billboard." "Not likely." "Too obvious." "No, really." "A billboard." "What?" ""If a sailor were to look for me," ""the East is where he'd start." ""He'd reach the Isle of Walking Rocks" ""and the Clapping Pass would part." ""Then gaze with pride upon my keep," ""not found on any chart," ""till he would spy my steely eye" ""and fear would stop his heart."" "Ooh." ""Copyright Robert the Terrible." "All rights reserved."" "Oh, yeah." "That sounds like fun and all, but I'd kind of like to keep my heart going, if it's all the same to you." "So, what do we got?" "We head East to..." "The Isle of Walking Rocks and the Clapping Pass." "And that's where this Robert guy hangs out." "And then something about cardiac arrest." "I don't know, call me crazy, but maybe our senses of fun are a little bit different." "Holy mackerel." "Holy mackerel!" "What?" "What is it?" "What?" "What is it?" "Pieces of eight?" "Spanish gold?" "Even better." "SEDGEWICK:" "Cheese curls!" "GEORGE:" "What?" "Cheese curls." "Thousands of them." "Maybe millions!" "Well, grab a few and let's get back to the boat." "I'm not going back to the boat." "(LAUGHING)" "What do you mean you're not going back to the boat?" "The way I see it, I have two choices." "Go back to the boat and continue our little adventure until we all die in terrible ways, or stay on this island and frolic in the sun with a lifetime supply of my favorite snack food." "Now, I'm no Albert Einstein, but I'm thinking the choice is pretty clear." "But, the Princess, she thinks we're heroes." "Well, she's wrong." "Heroes are tall and strong and brave and handsome, like Sir Frederick." "We aren't any of those things." "When you're done pretending, come on back." "I'll save you a few cheese curls." "Fine." "Have it your way." "I will." "Thank you." "You're not welcome." "(CHUCKLING)" "Where do I start?" "How about you, my little friend?" "(SCREECHING)" "What?" "(ALL SCREECHING)" "Hey, hey, hey, fellas?" "GEORGE:" "Oh, what does he know?" "I know we're not real heroes but we're not doing so bad." "Let's just get back to the boat." "Where is she going?" "She's sailing away." "But the clues!" "Maybe she didn't need them after all." "(BEEPING)" "Are you beeping?" "It's my bag." "The ball." "It's the blue button!" "We can go home now." "What?" "That doesn't make any sense." "It means our work is done." "GEORGE:" "Where's the rowboat?" "But the ball!" "It's blinking!" "We can go home." "Hold on a sec." "How long has that been here?" "It's one of Robert's boats." "But where are the men?" "The ball!" "It's blinking!" "GEORGE:" "Something ain't right." "They've got the Princess!" "We got to help her!" "Come on!" "Listen, when the ball blinks, our work is done and we can go home." "Don't you want to go home?" "Don't you want to see your kids?" "Sure I want to see my kids." "But I also want them to want to see me." "You know, maybe the reason they don't look up to me is because I haven't given them something worth looking up to." "But the ball." "Hey, that ball thought we were heroes." "It was wrong about that." "It could be wrong about this, too." "Look, Elliot." "If you want to go home, you can go home." "But Eloise needs me." "And I need to do what's right." "(GRUNTING)" "(WHOOSHING)" "Let's go save a princess!" "Help is on the way!" "Help!" "What kind of a crazy B movie am I in?" "Attack Of The Killer Cheesecurls?" "Okay, guys." "Let's be reasonable." "I wasn't really going to eat you, but you were impersonating a snack food!" "(SCREAMING)" "(THUDDING)" "Okay, we're off!" "I don't think we can catch up with them." "I think you're right." "Then we'll just have to follow the clues." "The clues?" "Yeah, from the billboard." "Head East to the Island of Walking Rocks." "You think that's a good idea?" "No, but I haven't got a better one." "East it is!" "GEORGE:" "The other east." "ELLIOT:" "East it is!" "(GROANS)" "My sacroiliac." "At least I lost those cheese curls." "(SQUEAKING)" "(WHIMPERS)" "They're like roaches!" "Sick, demented, cheese-flavored roaches!" "They stuck me here on purpose." "I bet George knew about those little things from the Weather Channel, too." "He's trying to kill me." "(PANTING)" "I can't climb that." "It's too far." "It isn't worth it." "Eaten by his own favorite snack food." "Could be worse." "I could be eaten by something I don't like." "I give up." "It was a good life." "At least that one day, from about 2:00 to 2:30." "(SNAPPING)" "Hey!" "Where did..." "That's mine!" "Ellen." "I bet she'd want me to come back." "(SQUEAKS)" "What?" "The light." "The crab will show me the light." "Maybe I can't do it, but maybe I can!" "And this is the day to find out!" "(GRUNTING)" "(LAUGHING)" "Sorry, boys!" "Gourd is off the menu!" "(WHOOPING)" "What do you want, Robert?" "Isn't it obvious?" "I want the throne, the crown!" "For years I watched my "noble" brother use his power for the benefit of every family in Monteria except our own!" "Feed the poor, help the sick." "The widows, the orphans, blah, blah, blah." "My father is a good and generous King." "Indeed." "He took Monteria's wealth, our wealth, my wealth, and squandered it on strangers." "Peasants!" "When the crown is mine, I can once again enjoy the benefits of royalty." "You're not strong enough to take the crown from my father's head." "Perhaps not." "But with you and your sister out of the way," "I'll be next in line for the throne." "And if your father should have an unfortunate accident..." "What do you mean?" "Ambition is the mother of invention." "A little something I worked up during my exile." "Amazing what black powder can do, floating just beneath the surface." "A little demonstration." "Off you go, Your Highness." "(LAUGHING)" "Of course, I can't just leave them in the harbor waiting, or I'll blow up my own ships." "So I need to know something." "When is the King returning?" "He didn't say." "But even if he had, I'd give my own life before I'd tell you!" "But would you give your sister's?" "(DOOR OPENING)" "Alexander!" "Surely you must know when your father is returning!" "(SIGHING) If you can manage to remember," "I might consider sparing the two of you." "You have two hours to think it over." "Otherwise, when the sand runs out, so do the Prince and Princess." "Put them in their cell." "Oh, Father, who can help us now?" "ELLIOT: (SINGING)" "Papa's got a gumball, Nellie Papa's got a gumball, Sue" "Papa's got a gumball, Nellie" "I think I'll blow a bubble for you" "Oh, Papa's got a pork chop, Nellie," "Papa's got a pork chop..." "Will you stop that?" "What?" "It's a good song." "Don't you like it?" "After the 32nd verse, it grates." "Besides, it's making me hungry." "Look at this." "I suppose Robert's fortress is beyond those peaks." "But there's supposed to be a pass." "ELLIOT:" "The Clapping Pass, right?" "Right." "I don't see anything." "You think that's the Island of Walking Rocks?" "It's got rocks, but they don't appear to be going anywhere." "Maybe it's poetic license." "I'm going to look for the pass." "You hang out here." "(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)" "(CHUCKLES)" "Walking rocks." "(SINGING) Look at us, we're walking rocks" "We don't wear any shoes or socks" "La-la-la-la-la" "(RUMBLING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(WEAKLY) George?" "George!" "(RUMBLING)" "That must lead to the fortress." "Hey, Elliot!" "(SCREAMING) The rocks!" "Huh?" "(SCREAMING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(CHUCKLING)" "There's another one!" "(BOTH SCREAMING)" "(COOING)" "Do you think one of those could crush a coconut?" "GEORGE:" "Are you kidding?" "One of those could crush a Volkswagen!" "(ROARING)" "I think we woke up Dad." "Do you suppose he'll put the kids on time-out?" "Not likely." "It was nice knowing you, Elliot!" "You too, George." "Thanks for the adventure." "Don't mention it." "(GEORGE AND ELLIOT CRYING)" "(PANTING)" "BOTH:" "Sedgewick!" "(COUGHING)" "Hey!" "I've been looking for you." "I followed the clues." "They worked out pretty well." "That was a swim." "(GASPING)" "Company?" "(SQUEAKING)" "SEDGEWICK:" "Oh, no." "I hate these guys!" "(SCREECHING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(ROCKS GIGGLING)" "Sedgewick, keep it up." "I think they like it." "Oh, sure, yeah." "I'll just keep running all day." "No problem." "Oh, it had to be me." "It's not..." "I am so tired..." "Would you... (LAUGHING)" "Somebody eat them." "Would you?" "(GIGGLING)" "That was a good idea, swimming over here with those..." "Whatever they are." "(RUMBLING)" "GEORGE:" "Oh, no." "We got to get through there before it closes!" "SEDGEWICK:" "What?" "Why?" "Robert has the Prince and the Princess." "Hang on." "Now, this is the guy who wants to crush us like coconuts, right?" "Uh-huh." "And you're going to go in there and stand up to him?" "Yep." "And you're in on this, too?" "Mmm." "(BOTH GRUNTING)" "Okay." "We go to row through before it closes." "I don't think that's possible, and that's coming from a guy who just swam 92 nautical miles without arms or legs." "GEORGE:" "Well, you got a better idea?" "(GRUNTING)" "Yeah." "We need to get through." "Can you help?" "What's he gonna do, chuck us into the side of the mountain?" "We'll just have to trust him." "Trust him?" "He's a rock!" "(ALL EXCLAIMING)" ""Trust the rock," he says." "I don't understand." "Guys?" "GEORGE:" "We're not going to make it." "The pass is almost closed." "Guys?" "SEDGEWICK: "Trust the rock." "Trust the rock."" "Guys!" "BOTH:" "What?" "(ALL EXCLAIMING)" "Row!" "(ALL SCREAMING)" "Oh, the Clapping Pass." "I get it." "Must be some kind of a secret bay or something." "So, where's this fortress?" "Oh." "Found it." "Won't they see us coming?" "We're flying their flag." "We should be fine." "There you go." "They got a garage!" "Well, that makes it easy." "Too easy." "It's not guarded or anything." "SEDGEWICK:" "They don't need to guard it." "Nobody can find this place." "Huh?" "Hey, guys?" "There's bubbles." "(BOTH SCREAMING)" "(ROARS)" "(SCREAMING)" "Look out!" "He's going to eat us!" "(CRYING)" "Don't eat me!" "Back off, serpent, or taste my steel!" "SEDGEWICK:" "What?" "(BOTH GASPING)" "(ROARING)" "(SEDGEWICK AND GEORGE WHIMPERING)" "Huh?" "Hi, guys." "It's a contraption." "I found a big lever inside, shut the whole thing down." "Pretty cool, huh?" "Guys?" "Oh, dear." "Like sand through the hourglass, so are the last few minutes of our lives." "Okay, guys, let's go get the Princess." "I'm hoping this will lead up to the dungeon level, and that's where we'll find the Prince and Princess." "ELLIOT:" "Wow!" "Their dungeon has a swimming pool." "Oh, no." "It's a cistern." "A what?" "Their supply of drinking water." "So they could last for months during a battle." "The dungeon must be on the next level up." "Hey!" "I found the stairs." "Hmm." "So, what are we going to do when we get to the dungeon?" "Huh?" "Oh, I haven't figured that part out yet." "Oh, good." "I was thinking we had a plan." "Hey, I think we're there." "It's locked." "(SNORING) GEORGE:" "Yep, this is the dungeon, all right." "And look!" "There's the Princess!" "(SOFTLY) Princess Eloise!" "Princess Eloise!" "What?" "WILLORY:" "It's..." "Who is it?" "It's..." "Our heroes!" "We've come to rescue you." "Do you have the keys?" "If only we could get real small." "(WHIRRING)" "ELLIOT:" "That is one neat toy." "It is not a toy." "It's a labor-saving device." "Come on!" "Time's a-wastin'!" "(SNORING)" "Huh?" "Huh?" "(ALL GASPING)" "(ALL SIGHING)" "What manner of magic is this?" "It's not magic." "It's RadioShack!" "(BEEPING)" "GEORGE:" "All right, quickly!" "I knew you'd come back." "(BANGS LOUDLY)" "(YELLING)" "We got to go." "Follow me." "(BELL CLANGING)" "Quick!" "The keys!" "But this way is..." "Now!" "Time's up." "Hello!" "What's this?" "Someone wanted to spoil my fun?" "Surely not you?" "(TITTERING) Oh, no, sir." "Then you three?" "(TITTERS)" "They're heroes sent by my father." "They'll be your undoing." "The King's heroes?" "Then you can answer my question." "When will the King return?" "He didn't mention it to us." "It didn't come up." "Surely the King's heroes would know of his plans!" "Tell me when the King will return, or say goodbye to the Princess." "(WHIMPERING)" "Let her go!" "We're not the King's heroes." "We're not heroes at all." "It was all a misunderstanding." "Explain." "We're no heroes." "We're cabin boys." "We work in a restaurant." "We clear dishes." "We clean up." "We give people refills on their soft drinks." "That's right." "The King's heroes?" "He's so lazy, he can't even climb a ladder without giving up." "(TITTERING) Yeah, and he's scared of everything." "Spiders, snakes, wicker furniture." "(TITTERING) It's true." "(TITTERING) And George there, he's such a wimp, even his own son thinks he's a loser." "Isn't that right?" "Is it true?" "It's true." "The ball made a mistake." "We're no heroes." "We're..." "BLIND MAN:" "When all hope is gone, help will come from above in the shape of a donkey." "Donkeys." "We're not donkeys." "We're cabin boys." "But even cabin boys can do what's right!" "Follow me!" "Elliot!" "The ball!" "Here." "(SNORING)" "We really need help right now." "(BEEPING)" "Get in!" "What?" "Everybody, lean!" "No!" "Get them!" "(ALL SCREAMING)" "It's more fun if you hold your hands in the air." "What was that?" "The drain." "We're getting out of here!" "(ALL EXCLAIMING)" "I'm feeling flushed!" "You've got to be kidding!" "Quick!" "To the ship!" "ALL:" "Whoa!" "(WHOOPING)" "SEDGEWICK:" "What a ride!" "You did it!" "We're not done yet." "Row!" "Row like the wind!" "We've got company!" "Row!" "Row!" "Row!" "Can I ask where we're rowing to?" "The pass is closed!" "It could open up at any second." "Keep rowing!" "(ROBERT CHUCKLING)" "ROBERT:" "A noble but pointless effort." "Gentlemen, take them out." "(GEORGE SCREAMING)" "(SCREAMS)" "SEDGEWICK:" "This is not going so well." "Unless that pass opens up, we're doomed." "We can't get much further." "Is there anything that ball can do now?" "We really need help." "ELLIOT:" "Help!" "Nothing." "It's not blinking." "They're in range now, boys." "Finish them." "(RUMBLING)" "Whoa!" "What is it?" "I don't know." "Father!" "It can't be!" "You know what to do, men." "Watch your aim." "Quickly!" "Disable the ship!" "(MEN SCREAMING)" "Where are you going?" "Back to your posts!" "Return fire!" "Against the King's men?" "You are mad!" "(SCREAMING)" "(GROWLING)" "Men, hold your fire." "On my word, Brother, I'm not finished!" "I'll never be finished until that crown is on my head!" "For amazing tenacity, unwillingness to give up." "For extraordinary bravery in the face of grave danger." "For leadership and cunning in a time of great peril." "You wish to speak?" "We're glad we could help." "Your kids are real sweet." "But the ball, it doesn't work right." "We're no heroes." "We're cabin boys." "There were no mistakes." "The Helpseeker picked exactly whom I intended." "And I made sure you had everything you needed to complete the task." "The crab that showed you the way, the lever that saved your friends." "The donkey from above." "The adventure I call you to may not be easy, but you'll never journey alone." "My help is always there." "When we were on the island, the ball said it was time to go home." "That was a test, which you passed with flying colors." "Sometimes, a test helps us decide what matters most." "The hero isn't the strongest or the fastest or the smartest or the best-looking." "The hero is the one who, no matter how hard, does what he knows is right." "Monteria!" "I give you three heroes!" "(ALL CHEERING)" "WILLORY:" "Are you sure you don't want to stay?" "We can always use a few more heroes." "No." "I want to see my kids." "And my Ellen!" "And Bernadette!" "KING:" "Fare thee well, friends." "Your work here is done." "(BEEPING)" "ELLIOT:" "Sure enough." "Hang on." "You know, I liked them from the very beginning." "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "We're back." "The show's on!" "It must be Friday." "I got to find my kids."
