Scene 10 - Beach Flashcards
Ted -
WAIT! Just a sliver!
Stache - Too latey, matey! PLAN C!
(Smee and the Pirates bring on two prisoners: Mrs. Bumbrake and Alf.)
Mrs. Bumbrake -
Molly!
Molly -
Oh, Mrs. Bumbrake! Mrs. Bumbrake -
Mrs. Bumbrake -
Bum-broken’s more like it! They grabbed us by the mangroves when we landed, the ruffians. Alf was valiant, heroic -
Stache -
Ruffians?? How dare you, madam. We are no ruffians.
Smee -
Why, we’ve never even been to Ruffia!
Mrs. Bumbrake -
I don’t care what you are, sir, I assure you.
Molly -
Daddy! Captain Scott! Not you too!
Fighting Prawn -
NO ENGLISH MOVE!
Mrs. Bumbrake -
Prawnie? Prawnie, is that you?
Fighting Prawn -
Betty?
Mrs. Bumbrake -
(as the servant she once was)
“The mistress wants more of your manicotti.”
Fighting Prawn -
(as the servant he once was) “And a pasta fazool - “
Mrs. Bumbrake -
“ - to make you drool!”
Fighting Prawn -
Betty Bumbrake, it’s you! This woman only English kind to me when I was a kitchen slave!
Mrs. Bumbrake -
Be a prince, Prawnie, and let Lord Aster loose.
Fighting Prawn -
You are English, so I’ll choose my words carefully. No.
Mrs. Bumbrake -
But Prawnie -
Alf -
Oh, we’ve made plans, Your Prawness. I got down on bended knee and Missus B said -
Mrs. Bumbrake -
You betcha! Betty’s bound for bridal bliss!
Alf -
Aye, the HMS Bumbrake may have a few barnacles on her bottom, but Alf’ll scrape ‘em off!
Mrs. Bumbrake -
Don’t speak, dearie.
Oh Prawnie! TTFN.
Narrator Alf -
Molly, true to her word, would remember everything, until one night, many years later -
Narrator Smee -
- she stared out the nursery window watching Peter fly off with her daughter in tow -
Narrator Bumbrake -
- and this grown-up Molly would comfort her new Nana, the good old dog who tended her children -
Narrator Molly -
“Don’t worry, Nana darling. I always hoped, if Peter came to visit, that my daughter would take my place. And once Wendy grows up - “
Narrator Fighting Prawn -
“I hope she will have a little girl -“
Narrator Hawking Clam -
“A little girl who will go off with him in turn - “
Narrator Bumbrake -
(gently singing)
OH, FOR THE WINGS,
FOR THE WINGS OF A DOVE…
