00:00All right now, children. Follow me. As Patrick say, Polly want a cracker.

00:28Uh, Polly want a cracker. No. Golly want a cracker. No. Polly want a cracker. Yes.

00:54That's nice, honey. Now, Peter, be a nice boy and say, Polly want a cracker.

01:01I don't want a cracker, see? I want to be a sailor like me pop, see?

01:10Huh, like your pop. Why, that seafarer and homewrecker, that high seas hitchhiker, a fine father he's been, a seagoing slob, a sailor.

01:21Why, let me tell you something. When your father and I were first married, we lived in the Canary Islands.

01:29Then the stork brought you lovely children. Oh, and I was all so happy.

01:36But your father, the rum-soaked old seagull, couldn't stand being anchored in one harbor for five minutes.

01:43So he slipped his lorins and set sail for Hawaii.

01:47Oh, it was Catalina. Oh, oh, yes, set sail for Catalina.

01:53Oh, I used to burn a little light in the window, hoping that someday he'd come back to me.

02:06But he never did, the needle-brain. Now, Peter, now you don't want to be a sailor, do you?

02:14Yes.

02:19What?

02:45Hiya, fella. Whatcha doing? Whatcha making? What's the bell for? Whatcha building? What's the hammer for? Whatcha make?

03:02Well, see, I'm building a boat, see, and I'm putting out to sea, see, because, because, because...

03:11...today I am a man, see?

03:15Oh, boy, can I go? Can I be a sailor? I want to be a sailor. Will you let me be a sailor? Can I go with you?

03:20Okay, matey, but you gotta remember, see, I am the captain's kid. I do the things my old man did.

03:29For I'm the kid, the captain's kid, and half a buccaneer.

03:33All aboard! Come on, by heck! Your job will be to scrub the deck, or else I'll twist your leather neck, for I'm a buccaneer.

03:42Shaboy! Raise the pirate's flag. When we get this way, we'll sail for Treasure Island.

03:52That's where I'll hide the gold, and keep it there till I grow old.

03:57This is not a pirate, half as bold, for I'm the captain's kid, see?

04:09This picture is kind of like Muniana County, don't you think? Or don't you?

04:27Stop to the port side, see?

04:51Crawl, sink, or make fast a boom, or we'll sink to the bottom!

04:54Well, don't stand there! Do something!

04:57What for? I like rain. I like the water.

04:59Lift the oar, up the sink. We can have lots of fun.
