Scene 1 Flashcards
“Molly, my Molly.”
“Please let me come with you. I don’t like it on this ship.”
“By the time you arrive in Rundoon, I’ll have completed my mission, and we’ll be together again.”
“Look Daddy—the cat, the ship’s cat. A lucky sign! Here, puss, puss…”
“Molly! Careful!”
“It’s alright, Daddy. Him’s a sweet little puss, isn’t him…”
“Our Molly loves all God’s little creatures.”
“Daddy… I know you don’t need my help in Rundoon, but I’ve got to start pulling my weight sometime.”
“You’re all grown up, aren’t you.”
“I am, Daddy. Courage now, promise?”
“Promise.”
“Oh dear.”
“One of the boys almost falls out!”
(Regular voice) “Hanging upside down just over Molly’s head!”
“He stares at her.”
(Regular accent) “She stares at him.”
“He has an air about him.”
(Regular accent) “The look of a boy who doesn’t miss much, or say much about it.”
“There isn’t any treasure in the Queen’s trunk, and what us in it has to be destroyed, by order of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.”
“God Save Her.”
“I’ll have to move quickly before the King of Rundoon even knows I’m there.”
“But how are you going to destroy it?”
“Can you keep it a secret?”
“I can.”
“Cwah cheep wirp reet reet burp.”
“Click.. bleep.. cwaaaah!”
“Sorry?”
“Click bleep cwaaaah?”
“And you know how to use it if you’re ever in trouble.”
“But what if something happens to you? You need me on the Wasp.”
“Too dangerous—I won’t have it.”
“I want to be part of the mission!”
“If you can’t be British, you can go straight home and back to school, young lady. Mrs. Bumbrake—“
“NO! Don’t send me home, please. I’ll be good, I promise.”
“Be a woman!”
“Yes, Nana.”
“I might even teach you to speak Porpoise.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“There’s my little Starcatcher.”
“Just an apprentice. If I were a Starcatcher, I’d be on the Wasp, with you!”
“The cabin could smell no worse than you.”
“Can we have kitty with us?”
