JIM: [He starts mopping the deck] Yeah, I got your Mr. Mop.
HANDS: [He shoves past Jim] Watch it, twerp.
[Some of the crew members are murmuring off to the side until the notice Jim looking at them.]
OXY: What are you looking at, weirdo?
MORON: Yeah, weirdo.
MR. SCROOP: [Hisses as he climbs down the mast] Cabin boys should learn to mind their own business.
JIM: Why? You got something to hide, bright eyes?
MR. SCROOP: [He grabs Jim by the front of his shirt and lifts him off the deck] Maybe your ears don't work so well.
JIM: [Grunts] Yeah. Ahem. Too bad my nose works just fine.
MR. SCROOP: Why, you impudent little--[Crew shouting]
BIRD BRAIN MARY: Go ahead! Slice him! Dice him!
MR. SNUFF: [Poot poot phoot]
MR. SCROOP: Any last words, cabin boy?
SILVER: [Silver grabs Mr. Scroop's arm] Mr. Scroop...you ever see what happens to a fresh purp...when you squeeze real hard? [He squeezes until Mr. Scroop drops Jim.]
GRIMM: Careful sliver don't want it to pop All over this lovely deck no.
MR. ARROW: What's all this. then? You know the rules. There'll be no brawling on this ship.
CREW: Aye, aye, sir.
MR. ARROW: Any further offenders will be confined to the brig for the remainder of the voyage. Am I clear, Mr. Scroop?
[Mr. Scroop snears at Mr. Arrow only to see a red dot light from Silver and Grimm pulling out his pistol causing him to comply.]
MR. SCROOP: Transparently.
SlLVER: Well done, Mr. Arrow, sir! A tight ship's a happy ship, sir. Jimbo, I gave you a job.
JIM: Hey, I was doing it until that bug thing--
SILVER: Belay that! Now, I want this deck swabbed spotless...and heaven help you if l come back and it's not done. Morph? Keep an eye on this pup...and let me know if there be any more distractions.
MORPH: OK Aye-aye [Chattering]
JIM: [Sighs]
[Down in the Galley, Silver gathers with the rest of the crew]
SILVER: So, we're all here, then.
ONUS: Excuse me.
GRIMM: Fine. Now, if you pardon my plain speaking, gentlemen...are you all...[Pulling out his cutlass from his holder] STARK-RAVING, TOTALLY BLINKING DAFT?!? [Crew chatters after Grimm thrashes around with his cutlass.] After all me and Sliver finagling getting us hired as an upstanding crew, you want to blow the whole mutiny before it's time????
MR. SCROOP: The boy was sniffing about.
SILVER: You just stick to the plan, you bug-brained twit. As for the boy, l'll run him so ragged...he won't have time to think.
[Back on the deck, Jim finishes mopping with Morph.]
[Morph laughs and hiccups]
JIM: [Sighs] Well, this has been a fun day, huh? Making new friends, like that spider psycho.
MORPH: [Turns into a mini Mr. Scroop] Spider psycho, spider psycho.
JIM: Heh. A little uglier.
MORPH: Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
JIM: Pretty close.
SILVER: Well, thank heavens for little miracles. Up here for an hour and the deck's still in one piece.
JIM: Um, look, l, uh...what you did...thanks.
SILVER: Didn't your pap ever teach you to pick your fights a bit more carefully? [Jim frowns] Your father not the teachin' sort?
JIM: No. He was more the taking off and never coming back sort.
SILVER: Oh. Sorry, lad.
JIM: Hey, no big deal. I'm doing just fine.
SILVER: ls that so? Well, since the captain has put you in my charge like it or not, l'll be pounding a few skills into that thick head of yours to keep you out of trouble.
JIM: What?
SILVER: From now on I'm not letting you out of me sight.
JIM: You can't do--
SILVER: You won't so much as eat, sleep, or scratch your bum without my say-so.
JIM: Don't do me any favors!
SILVER: Oh, you can be sure of that, my lad. You can be sure of that. Heh heh heh heh!
[Cut to a montage set to "I'm Still Here" by John Rzeznik of Silver teaching Jim skills and the two spending time together; we also see flashbacks of Jim as a child and how much his father was absent, and how he eventually left Jim and his mother for good without saying goodbye; it ends with Jim and Silver taking a ride on a longboat as Jim is a natural at sailing it; they return to the shipping bay as the song and montage end.]
