“Avast, We’ll not be taking orders from the likes of them” said Captain Hook, of the 2003 film “Peter Pan”.
“Aye, they’ll taste the edge o’ me broadsword before the mast.” Added captain Jack Sparrow, of the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean. “They’ll dance the plank or dangle off the yardarms before I lay down me piratical ways.”
“Agreed, my good man.” Said Captain Bligh of the 1936 film “Mutiny on the Bounty”. “While I’m not a Pirate as such, I am a member of the Film Captain’s Guild, and I’m afright that if left unchecked these suits will eventually encompass all the able men of the seven seas.”
“Totally.” Agreed Captain Bill Gates, of the 1999 made for TV movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley”. “We’ve got the men and resources to stop this barbaric intrusion into our historic rights of piracy and monopoly.”
