Were you shipwrecked? - No, I was left here. Yes, left here as punishment. And what's your name, lad? - Jim. - And whose ship is that, Jim? Not Flint's? - No, Flint's dead. But there are a few of his old mates on the ship, which is a problem for us. - Anybody with only one leg? - Silver? - Yes, yes, yes. His name was Silver. - He's our cook and the head of the entire gang. - I can help you out. But only if... - I'm sorry? - I just want to know... If I can get at least a thousand pounds of that money, which is mine anyway. - Of course. Squire is the most generous person in the world. - And he'll take me home? - Of course, sir! And now, tell about yourself, sir! [ Ben Gunn's story ] Flint, me, and a few others sailed to this island to bury the treasure. "Turn around, scoundrels!" yelled Flint. Then we decided to kill Flint and take the treasure. but 3 years later I was back on the island. Lads! I know where Flint buried the treasure! We searched for twelve days, but found nothing. Every day they cursed me more and more. And so they left me on the island. - Oh, that's a horrible story, sir. And if we make it back to the ship, you'll get a head of cheese this large. But ssshhhh. I hear steps! It's the pirates, let's hide! - Things are looking bad. Jim has disappeared, and it looks like the pirates won't let us out of here. We have to do something. Ah-ha, here's Jim. Who's that with him? Here's Silver... and the pirates. And what's this? Gentlemen! I have an excellent plan! - One! Two! One! Two! One! Two! Keep against the tide! A cannon! They are arming a cannon! Why? Ah! They are going to shoot! Faster! One! Two! One! Two! Back water! - Smollett and Trelawney took the weapons and fled! They took the block house! - They can't see the block house from the ship. They are shooting the flag. We must lower it. - Lower the flag? Proud sailing traditions do not allow lowering the flag during a fight! Never! - Jim! Jim, take a look! See that? That's where your friends are. - Not the pirates? - No. Silver would have raised the Jolly Roger, the pirate's flag! - Then we should go join them! - Wait, wait! I must meet with the doctor. Tell him to come alone. - Very well. - Doctor, Squire, Captain! It's me, Jim. Hello. - Doctor, I just met a man. His name is Ben Gunn and he has some kind of news for you. - What's this? - A white flag. - I'm willing to bet it's some kind of a trick. Attention! Man your posts! One! Two! One! Two! - What do you want? - I want to make a deal. Do not shoot. - Very well. Sit down, my good fellow. - Thank you. - Now tell us why you are here. - We want to get the treasure. And we'll get it. And you want to save your lives. And you have a right to that. - Do you have the map? - Maybe! - I know that you do. Give us the map. - Is that all? That won't do, my good fellow. - Then it's time to let the guns talk. - You don't say? - You've run aground, Silver! And all because of your greed. And now, here's an inspiring story for you, sir! [ A song about greed ] There lived a greedy pirate Billy. Not a person liked him, really. Not the sailors, not the pirates, not the children, not his kin. Couldn't help himself, our Billy, love of money drove him silly! He was always treated chilly Any place he settled in. One, two, three, four, five, six, eight! The moral of this story One, two, three, four, five, six, eight! Greed will make you sorry! One, two, three, four, five, six, eight! I already said it: One, two, three, four, five, six, eight! Greed's a nasty habit! Girls and women Billy hated: never married, never dated. Never once, with breath abated kissed a single pretty lass. For you see, he wasn't willing to dispense a single shilling. And just when he made a killing, he had a stroke and died, alas! One, two, three, four, five, six, eight!
